998 Full of Hatred That She Felt Like Killing Him
Even if Brother Zhai was busy and could not get back to him right away, he should have kept the information with him and waited until a later time to pa.s.s them to him.
They should have hired a private investigator to do the job. They would be much more professional.
“Yes, I have them with me.” Zhai Hua wiped her face with her hand. Wei De was such a sc.u.mbag. Shedding tears over him was not worth it. But she felt sorry for herself and hated herself for being so foolish and r.e.t.a.r.ded. “Qiao Nan, I have to thank you for being there for me all this while. If not for you, I might have done more foolish deeds which would make me despise myself even further.”
Qiao Nan was worried stiff. What did she mean by thanking her for being with her all this while? This sounded ominous. “Sister Zhai Hua, don’t say that. We are one family. Your parents, Brother Zhai, and all of us are very concerned about you. If there is anything, we can sit down and have a discussion. Don’t blame yourself for everything that has happened. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Things are not as serious as you think. Everyone is bound to run into one or two sc.u.mbags in one’s life. It is not a big deal.”
Qiao Nan did not know what the final results of the investigation were. She had no idea what Wei De had done to make Zhai Hua lose her sanity and hate him so much that she felt like killing him.
Qiao Nan was worried that she might further agitate Zhai Hua, so she dared not make guesses or sound her out.
“No, I know my temper.” Zhai Hua seemed to have stopped crying, but her voice sounded even more gloomy and depressed. “I never have a good temper. You are right. The elders at home treat me much better than Zhai Sheng. Since young, he has a harder time than me, but I always feel that that is because the elders think highly of him. The reason why I am not given the same treatment is that I am a girl while he is a boy.”
“I am very obstinate. Once I have such an idea, regardless of what grandpa and the rest tell me, I will not listen to them. Among everyone around me, you are the only one who is objective and different from them, and that is why I will listen to what you say. If my parents keep persuading me to leave Wei De—even if I really feel that there is something wrong with him—I will not leave him and I will marry him in a fit of pique. They did not care about me when I was young. Now that I have grown up, I have my own judgment and I will prove them wrong and lead a good life with Wei De.”
If that had been the case, her life would have been ruined.
Zhai Hua did not say it but Qiao Nan could tell what she was going to say. “Sister Zhai Hua, I am not trying to scare you. Right now, you must calm down. You have just stopped yourself from making a huge mistake, so you must not go down another wrong path. We will definitely stand on your side. There is no doubt about it. Since you cherish your life, you must not do anything rash. Remember, your life is precious. You must not be ras.h.!.+”
Did Sister Zhai Hua believe that Wei De was a sc.u.mbag and want to finish him off?
Even though her father was the chief, it was a crime to kill someone. Even if Sister Zhai Hua could escape the death penalty, she would have to be punished for her crime.
It was not worth it for Sister Zhai Hua to spend the rest of her life behind bars all because of Wei De.
“But if I don’t do this, I can’t take it lying down. Even if I won’t have to pay a life for a life, I will still die out of frustration!” Why was it that Wei De could lead his life as usual after he deceived and toyed with her while she had to suffer in pain?
Since Wei De dared to do this to her, she would do anything to make sure that he suffered even if it might cost her life.
“Sister Zhai Hua…”
Beep! Beep! Beep!
“Sister Zhai Hua! Sister Zhai Hua! h.e.l.lo? h.e.l.lo?!”
Qiao Nan turned pale in fright at the dial tone on the other end of the phone.
Qiao Nan was about to make a phone call to the Zhai family when the phone rang. “Is this Sister Zhai Hua? Sister Zhai Hua, listen to me…”
“Nan Nan, it’s me.”
“Brother Zhai!” Qiao Nan burst into tears upon hearing Zhai Sheng’s voice. Tears rolled down her cheeks. “Brother Zhai, something terrible has happened. Sister Zhai Hua seems to be after Wei De.”
“Your phone had been engaged all this while. Were you talking to Zhai Hua just now?” Zhai Sheng drove the car while talking on the phone. He kept a check on the road with half-lidded eyes and used the fastest speed to overtake other cars, speeding to his destination.
“Yes.” Qiao Nan sniffed. “Why would Sister Zhai Hua have a hold on the information regarding Wei De?” Who was so r.e.t.a.r.ded to do such foolish things!?
“This is not important anymore.” Zhai Sheng looked slightly better after getting an affirmative answer from Qiao Nan. “The information was sent to the camp, to my office precisely. The information ended up in Zhai Hua’s hand out of coincidence. She was supposed to bring it back for me. However, she opened the package out of curiosity.”
When he knew that the investigation results were sent through postal service to the camp, Zhai Sheng, who had completed his mission and was finally contactable, knew that something was wrong. He made a phone call immediately to the reception room in the army camp to ask about the package.
Zhai Sheng had thought that as long as he made it clear that the package must be sent to his office and that no one was to open it, particularly Zhai Hua, things would not be too serious.
However, Zhai Sheng was too late.
The soldier from the guardhouse told Zhai Sheng that the camp had indeed received a package.
Zhai Hua happened to pa.s.s by and saw that it was for Zhai Sheng.
Everyone in the camp knew that Zhai Sheng and Zhai Hua were siblings. Since Zhai Hua offered to take it on Zhai Sheng’s behalf, the other party agreed right away and pa.s.sed the package to Zhai Hua.
If not for Zhai Sheng’s phone call, no one would have taken extra notice.
“Don’t panic and don’t be afraid. At least for now, things are not beyond our control. The package was sent to me. Zhai Hua would only read it after she reached my office. Nan Nan, listen to me. I want you to check from where Zhai Hua made a phone call to you.”
Qiao Nan recollected. “It seems to be the telephone from your office!”
It had been ages since she talked to Zhai Sheng on the phone. She was busy with her school work and other activities.
When the phone rang, Qiao Nan took a glance at the caller ID display. Seeing that it was a familiar number, she picked it up to answer the call.
Now that Qiao Nan thought about it, the familiar number was the number from Zhai Sheng’s office.
“Very good.” Zhai Sheng could not help but heave a sigh of relief upon knowing this. “Nan Nan, you have done a good job. Don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to Zhai Hua. I will end the call.” Hopefully, they could stall her for as long as possible.
