Chapter 6 (2/2)

Is that the case? Come to think of it, sounds about right.

I have been a wandering ghost for three years, yet Wang Hu was scot-free for three years, living it up. Even if he were to die now, it does nothing to lighten the load in my heart!

“Th-then, what can I do?” Liu Yue’e asked blankly.

Chen Hao replied with a smile, “Easy.” He shouted for Zhou Gang to come over and asked him what punishment Wang Hu would receive.

Zhou Gang paused for a moment before saying, “I’m not a judge, but now with concrete evidence, even if this Wang Hu isn’t sentenced to death, he won’t escape life imprisonment.”

With a satisfied smile, Chen Hao turned around and said to Liu Yue’e, “You heard that? Life imprisonment! That’s the best form of revenge.”

Liu Yue’e, who was being led by the nose, asked, “Why?”

Chen Hao explained, “Think about it. It’s a cheap deal for him to die now. It’s best if he doesn’t die, yet he won’t be able to live freely as he wishes and be locked up forever. Isn’t this the most horrible punishment? Wang Hu is someone who is used to enjoying life. He definitely won’t be able to take the difference in treatment. He will live in torment every day. That, then, is true suffering.”

Liu Yue’e fell silent for a moment. After a moment, she suddenly revealed a smile. “Thank you for your enlightenment, Master. Although you’re helping me redress my grievance in order to accumulate merit, Yue’e is indeed indebted to you. I shouldn’t be calculative and pester you endlessly. Now that Wang Hu is receiving the punishment he deserves, regardless of whether it’s the death penalty or life imprisonment, it’s enough for Yue’e. Yue’e is immensely grateful.”

The minute she finished speaking, a familiar voice rang in Chen Hao’s brain.

[Ding-Dong! Dying Wish fulfilled. You are now blessed with divine power.]

The next moment, a load of information appeared in Chen Hao’s brain out of nowhere, flowing through his mind for him to absorb. This was how he was being blessed with divine power.

But right now, Chen Hao wasn’t in the mood to view this divine power. He was staring awkwardly at Liu Yue’e.

How shameful. She’s not a child and isn’t that easy to bluff. He felt vile for what he did.

But the fact that his mission was accomplished went to show that Liu Yue’e’s resentment was resolved.

Looking carefully, he indeed saw that the resentment on Liu Yue’e was dissipating into the air bit by bit. Very quickly, Liu Yue’e transformed into specks of white light, gradually becoming fainter.

“Yue’e is immensely grateful for your great debt of kindness. If there’s a next lifetime, I will definitely repay you.”

With a peaceful expression, Liu Yue’e took one last serious look at Chen Hao before disappearing completely.

Chen Hao remained frozen for a long time, before letting out a sigh.

Although she had suffered in this lifetime, she was finally able to let go of her resentment and be reborn as a human. It was considered a good deed. He hoped this girl needn’t suffer such torment in the next lifetime.

“Was Liu Yue’e here just now?” Zhou Gang asked, his gaze flickering.

Chen Hao replied with a smile, “Yeah. Without her, how would I know this clubhouse like… Mm, Captain Zhou, the talk about the so-called ghosts is only superstition. The police were able to arrest the criminals because of the swift action they took and the fact that they had concrete evidence in their hands.”

Suddenly, Chen Hao’s expression turned solemn and he looked seriously at Zhou Gang.

Zhou Gang froze, then gazed at Chen Hao, caught between laughter and tears.

What an interesting fellow.

“It’s true that the police have evidence in their hands. But Mr. Chen is also a good citizen who assisted the police. You won’t be denied your credit. If something arises in the future, so long as it doesn’t compromise my principles and break the law, you can come and look for me,” Zhou Gang said seriously.

Chen Hao said with a smile, “That means I have cozied up to someone powerful? Hehe, not bad, not bad. If I run into trouble, I will surely look for Captain Zhou. Mm, another thing. The two of us are now considered friends who have worked together. Later when I give your daughter a present, you mustn’t regard it as a bribe, Captain Zhou.”

Zhou Gang replied with a severe countenance, “I’ll get my wife to prepare the food and wine. You’re welcome to visit anytime.”
