Chapter 965: Chai Xianglong Has Gone Crazy
“There’s no need for that. We were only meddling in other people’s business; we didn’t get to help Xiaocheng at all. We’re not worthy of that dinner.” Chen Xuyao stuffed his business card into Zhou Xiaoguang’s hand after he said that. Then, he pulled Chu Sheng into the car.
Ah Lu was still in the driver’s seat. The overloaded vehicle left the Chai family residence and headed back to the hotel.
Moe also left the same time as Zhou Xiaocheng’s parents; he went back into Jiang Yao’s pocket and began to tell her how he drugged and scolded Chai Xianglong for being an idiot. He did not see Chai Xianglong, but he knew that the man drank the coffee with the added ingredients.
“Your pet looks excited today.” Mr Jiang, the lawyer, was beside Jiang Yao when he heard the cat in her pocket meowed continuously.
“It did a very impressive thing today.” Jiang Yao praised Moe profoundly—the pet’s bushy tail moved as if it wanted to sweep at the sky.
No one knew what the Zhou family decided, but they could guess it correctly. When they saw the matching expressions on Zhou Xiaocheng’s parents, they knew that they must have agreed to Madam Chai’s proposal.
Jiang Yao was having lunch with everyone at the hotel when Mr Jiang received a call that said the Chai family had rushed Chai Xianglong to the hospital about an hour before that. The Chai family had wanted to keep that information quiet, but it seemed like someone had seen them before they spread the news.
The hospital that Zhou Xiaocheng was sent to also recalled many of their off-duty doctors to help out with that patient. The Chai family also looked for neurology specialists from other hospitals.
“Some of the nurses said that Chai Xianglong seemed to have gone mad; he was screaming about ghosts and monsters that were out to get him. He also said that a zombie had bitten his arm; before the doctor could stop him, he snatched a pen and stabbed his arm with it. He wanted to use it to cut off his supposedly injured arm; else, he would become a zombie. Then, he hid under the doctor’s table and refused to come out. Finally, when they managed to bring him to the ward, he screamed about how Zhou Xiaocheng was lying there with her bloodied mouth and that she wanted to swallow him whole.”
Mr Jiang clenched his fists and slammed them on the table. “What a wonderful piece of news, indeed! Is this karma? Or did Zhou Xiaocheng come back as a ghost to seek revenge on Chai Xianglong? Zhou Xiaocheng committed suicide last night, and they compromised her parents today. Then, Chai Xianglong has gone crazy.”
“You’re a lawyer. How can you believe that?” Jiang Yao asked with a smile.
“Even though I’m a lawyer, it’s still a good guess. If people have souls, they can seek revenge from their enemies if they died from injustice. Isn’t that a good thing?” It did not seem like Mr Jiang suffered from the burdens of a lawyer. Even though he was usually quite rigid, he did hope that Zhou Xiaocheng’s soul would seek revenge from Chai Xianglong.
“That’s why we can’t be as evil as the Chai family. Just look at how fast karma works?” Jiang Yao lowered her head and took a sip of her soup. She raised her eyebrows and said, “This soup tastes pretty good. Why don’t you try it?”
Chen Xuyao rolled his eyes and said, “I’ve drunk it several times already. Why haven’t you praised it before this?”
“Oh, well, food tastes differently with a different mindset.”
