Chapter 4169: Lin Ya’s Secret (9)
“You can’t tell them that Jing De was a psycho who killed many children, right?”
“Of course not. Uncle Jing died many years ago. I don’t want this b.a.s.t.a.r.d to ruin his reputation,” said Qin Chu.
“What shall we do?”
“To appease people’s panic, you can find a scapegoat; otherwise, the rumors about vampires will cause disturbances in the city.”
“That’s true, but it’s not my style to get a scapegoat… I’m not that low.” Gao Ran was reluctant.
“Do you dare to tell people that the children were killed by someone who had died many years ago?”
“No.”
“So, what else can you do?” Qin Chu glanced at Gao Ran.
“I can handle it. How about you? What will you tell Zhixin and his mother?”
“I’ll say Uncle Jing left…”
“But it will give them hope that he’ll come back again…” Gao Ran guessed.
“It’s better to be hopeful than devastated. Zhixin and my mother-in-law are vulnerable and can’t take a second blow.”
“Okay. That’s settled then. Anyway, the guy is dead and won’t hurt people anymore. Chu, on behalf of the thousands of cops in my bureau, I must thank you for getting rid of this dangerous guy.”
“Let’s drink.”
Low in spirits, Qin Chu talked about the case with Gao Ran for a while and drove back home.
Huo Mian had returned to South Hill Manor.
When Qin Chu entered the house, she was watching TV in the living room.
She seemed to have been waiting for him.
“Honey, you’re home.”
Silently, Qin Chu changed his shoes.
“Didn’t you hear what I said?”
Qin Chu looked up at Huo Mian.
“Did you have a good chat with Su Yu?”
“You spied on me?” Huo Mian was angry.
“I didn’t need to… You didn’t bring your wallet but returned with so many luxurious things. Other than Su Yu, I can’t think of anyone who’d pay that much for you.”
“Hehe. I just wanted to get you jealous. I wanted to show you if you don’t cherish your wife, another man will do it for you.”
Hearing her provocative words, Qin Chu just sneered.
“Very good. You can go to his home.”
“Qin Chu. Stop!” Huo Mian yelled in fury.
But Qin Chu didn’t stop; he continued to walk upstairs.
She ran over and blocked Qin Chu’s way.
“What are you doing?”
“Shouldn’t you apologize to me? I was angry with you and went out for a whole day, but you didn’t even give me a call.”
“Didn’t you enjoy yourself today?” Qin Chu asked.
“Qin Chu, if you dislike me, just tell me… But don’t give me the cold shoulder. I can’t stand it. It was just an abortion; how can you treat me in this way? I have given you two daughters. You’re still not satisfied?”
“It’s nothing to do with the baby. Get out of my way.”
Qin Chu felt more and more disgusted with the woman.
When he was in a good mood, he could still play along with her.
But when he was in a foul mood, he just couldn’t bear to see her face.
How could this woman be his Mian?
“I won’t move… No matter what, you must apologize to me and move back to our bedroom. Or I’ll wake up Dad and Mom and ask them to be judges of your behavior.”
“Mian… You changed so much that you look like a stranger now. You never acted like this.” Qin Chu glanced at the woman purposefully.
Hearing his words, her expression changed slightly and she looked a bit nervous.
