Chapter 142 - A Vicious Woman (1) (1/2)

Naturally, Guo Min was a lover of vanity.

But you couldn’t just generalize someone. In fact, she could be dazzled by money, mainly because her family was in an urgent situation and had already begun putting pressure on her. Her father was caught up in a scam while gambling one time and now owed a lot of money to loan sharks. Even so, the two old people still had to fund her studies in Beijing. However, if they didn’t pay back the loan soon, their family would end up bankrupt sooner or later, or something even more serious than that. By this semester, Guo Min was already receiving threat messages every single day from loan sharks, and only she knew how terrifying the contents were.

So, she hardly hesitated before dipping her feet into this and received the first amount of Zhou Xue’s hush money, totaling a full eight million.

Then after this mistake, she kept falling deeper and deeper.

As an eyewitness who had decided not to speak out, Guo Min and Zhou Xue had ended up on the same rope from then on.

Zhou Xue probably realized this as well, so after killing Zhou Chao, she fell into deep anxiety. She would be paranoid throughout the day and would get nightmares so often she could almost go insane. She was afraid the police would come to look for her again if they couldn’t find the killer. After thinking about all this, she still decided to look for Guo Min.

She asked Guo Min to take the fall. “The police will definitely investigate you. Before ZHou Chao died, you were the last one to make substantial contact with him, so you are definitely the main suspect of the case. Since that’s the case, you might as well just admit that you do it. After the matter is complete, I’ll transfer you another 20 million.”

Zhou Xue knew as well she needed this money.

Moreover, the temptation of 20 million was too big.

As expected, Guo Min frowned. After a small bout of internal struggle, she finally nodded.

With the 8 million from before and this 20 million added all together.

They had enough to pay off the loan sharks and had money left over. The rest of it was enough for her parents to live a rich life without any worries.

She thought it would be better for her to go to jail than for her entire family to suffer.

And Zhou Xie also did not expect that her countless calculations were all for naught, and she quickly and directly exposed herself in the end.

Jian Huai lazily raised a brow. She wasn’t feeling too heavy at the moment, but she still had some feelings towards Guo Min’s confession. However, feelings were just that. It doesn’t stop her from labeling Guo Min as a “legal illiterate”.
