Chapter 14 Low

Inside the room, the girl remained silent as Zhou Ze slowly lit a second cigarette. He then picked up her compact of foundation, twisted off the lid, and appeared to be planning to continue using it as an ashtray.

Of course, the sounds of the girl's parents arguing outside continued. Her mother began to cry, accusing the man of having no conscience. Then the man also started crying, saying the woman had changed.

The girl slowly raised her head and looked at Zhou Ze.

"Big brother, I don't know what you mean by this. Lin Yi and I are good friends, and you're her brother-in-law, so we should..."

"Buzz!"

Zhou Ze took out a dagger from his pocket and stabbed it into the girl's desk.

This was one of the grave goods of the female corpse. Saying it could cut iron like mud was an exaggeration, but it was indeed very sharp.

Zhou Ze didn't want to play "Nine Yin White Bone Claw" like Mei Chaofeng when dealing with ordinary people, because that would mean a lot of trouble, and Zhou Ze feared trouble the most.

A dagger,

A "buzz" sound,

Spoke more than a thousand words.

The girl's face slowly began to change.

Zhou Ze originally thought that this matter should be over. He came only to get back the money he had given and to retrieve his silly sister-in-law's wallet.

He didn't want any extra complications, even though he thought that the best ending would be for this girl to be hit by a car as soon as she stepped outside.

The example of that person in Rong City was still fresh in his mind.

Zhou Ze was too lazy to engage in any extra-legal punishment.

He didn't have the time or the inclination.

He just wanted money because he was poor.

Sometimes, life really requires a lot of courage, especially when Zhou Ze looked around.

His wife was very rich, buying his house as a souvenir and driving a Cayenne. His sister-in-law was also very rich; five thousand yuan was just a portion of her monthly allowance.

Xu Qinglang had over twenty apartments.

Bai Yingying even had grave goods.

Everyone around him was rich, but he himself was penniless.

However, Zhou Ze underestimated this girl.

A girl who had already entered society and experienced "forging" showed a calmness at this moment that was almost chilling.

The girl unbuttoned her clothes,

Leaving only her underwear.

But then,

She even prepared to unhook her bra.

"Are you going to kill someone?" A smile appeared on the girl's lips. There was no panic in her eyes, but rather a deepness, a deepness that was somewhat unbelievable.

"Come and kill me."

The girl took a step towards Zhou Ze,

"My father is paralyzed in bed. He can't stop you.

My mother and I are both women, and we can't beat you.

Come and kill us,

Kill our whole family."

The girl walked up to Zhou Ze, her voice calm.

Zhou Ze tilted his head, looking at the girl while admiring her body.

It was indeed a bit of a headache.

This one,

Seemed to fear nothing.

Moreover,

She seemed certain that he didn't want to kill anyone.

Zhou Ze regretted it a little. He should have let Bai Yingying come up; it seemed that the most appropriate way was for a woman to deal with a woman.

"Or, I can shout right now and say you broke into my house intending to rape me." The girl lowered her head, bringing her young face close to Zhou Ze.

"Then, my parents will hear my voice and come over, the neighbors will come too, and someone will call the police. You'll be ruined."

Zhou Ze smiled and said, "So, not only will I not get my money back this time, but I'll also have to give you more money to keep you quiet?"

"You're not short of money, are you?" The girl slightly raised her chin. Her chin was round, her collarbone was delicate, and even her eyelashes carried the charming posture of a young girl. "The Lin family is very rich."

But I'm poor.

Zhou Ze sighed helplessly.

"One thousand yuan, and I'll sleep with you once." The girl stared at Zhou Ze and licked her lips. "Right here, in my house, right next to my parents' room, how about it?"

Zhou Ze sensed the aura of an experienced driver coming towards him.

Shame,

Utter shame.

After the last time he passed his own house three times without entering,

Zhou Ze felt that this girl was experienced enough to guide him into the world of pleasure.

Her appearance was beautiful,

But her inner self,

Was somewhat insidious.

"Was this how you forced your teacher to his death?" Zhou Ze asked.

The girl was stunned, frowned slightly, and was a little surprised that Zhou Ze knew about this.

"He was good to you, often helped you out, and invited you to his house for dinner when it wasn't convenient at your place. He never touched you, but you falsely accused him of assaulting you."

"I'm sorry for him." The girl shrugged. "He really didn't touch me, but I really didn't expect him to be so stupid as to jump off a building. I just wanted the school to pay a little money."

"Your parents know about this too, right?" Zhou Ze asked.

"Of course." The girl smiled slightly, stood up straight, and looked at Zhou Ze. "How do you know all this?"

"What you're doing is wrong," Zhou Ze said very seriously.

He raised his hand slightly, imitating the posture of the middle-aged man reading in the bookstore.

"He lived up to his conscience and his professional ethics, and these were the things he valued most, but you destroyed them all."

"Did you come here to lecture me?" The girl couldn't quite understand Zhou Ze's train of thought.

She had already taken off her clothes, and he was just one button away from undressing her completely, but the man in front of her was here giving her a lecture.

She had met a customer before who was a professor who liked to preach. He was very generous and would educate her before doing anything, telling her that she should study hard and not do this, that girls should respect themselves, and he would earnestly teach her.

Then that professor took her seven times in one night.

Those kinds of people were the most hypocritical, clearly intending to undo their belts but still pretending to be a gentleman.

"You should clear your teacher's name. He was falsely accused," Zhou Ze said.

"Why should I?"

The girl took two steps back and put her clothes back on. She knew that the man in front of her wasn't interested in her.

"Because of your conscience, the conscience of being human."

"The conscience of being human?" The girl spread her hands, pretending to tease. "I don't want to be human. If I had a choice, I'd want to be a ghost."

"Oh, is that so?"

Zhou Ze slowly stood up,

His hands behind his back, his nails fully grown out.

At the same time, black halos began to flow in Zhou Ze's eyes, and his entire aura changed in an instant.

Back then, his carefree sister-in-law was so scared when she saw him like this that she directly lost control of her bladder.

The girl in front of him also suddenly changed her expression and fell to the ground with a "thump," pointing at Zhou Ze, too frightened to speak.

"You... are you a human or a ghost..."

Zhou Ze took out the five thousand yuan and his sister-in-law's wallet from the drawer and put them in his pocket.

As for the other things inside, he wasn't interested.

He was just coming back to get the money he had been cheated out of,

Legally and reasonably.

He didn't want to do anything else.

As he left, Zhou Ze bent down, reached out, and lifted the girl's chin, saying to her very seriously:

"How I wish you were a ghost right now, so that I could make sure you didn't even have the chance to be reincarnated."

After speaking, Zhou Ze left this smoky and foul-smelling home.

The girl, however, remained slumped there, her body trembling uncontrollably.

…………

Outside, Bai Yingying was waiting there, chewing gum. When Zhou Ze came out, she took the initiative to peel off a piece of gum and put it into Zhou Ze's mouth as if trying to please him.

"Boss, did you get the money back?"

Zhou Ze nodded.

"What about that woman?" Bai Yingying didn't care about the money; this small amount of money was less than what she could get from selling just one of her grave goods. She was just concerned about what would happen to the girl.

Back then, her boss had tortured her badly, so she was very much looking forward to seeing how her boss would deal with that girl.

"She's at home," Zhou Ze said as he started to hail a taxi.

"At home? Did she die at home?" Bai Yingying asked.

"I didn't do anything to her," Zhou Ze replied.

"Why not!" Bai Yingying was very puzzled. "That kind of woman should be punished."

"That's not something I should be doing," Zhou Ze said calmly.

"Boss, you're so cowardly."

"The teacher already told me it's none of my business. Why should I go looking for trouble?"

As he spoke, Zhou Ze pointed to the flower beds and bushes around them and continued,

"Besides, who knows how many pairs of bloodshot eyes are hiding in here, waiting for me to make a mistake."

Zhou Ze didn't know what would happen to that person in Rong City in the future, nor was he certain. The little loli might have teamed up with other ghost messengers to encircle and suppress him, and even the Faceless Woman from the road to the Yellow Springs might have been released to participate in this operation.

Of course, because he owed the other party a favor in a dream, Zhou Ze hoped that that person could get through this safely.

However, he couldn't bring himself to act like him and directly become a judge.

In his past life, he was a doctor who only knew how to save people, not how to kill them.

He took a taxi back to the store. Along the way, Bai Yingying didn't say a word, clearly very dissatisfied with Zhou Ze's passive response.

When they returned to the bookstore, Zhou Ze saw that the middle-aged man was still sitting there reading. He hadn't run away, even though Zhou Ze said he was going to send him to hell, he still hadn't run away.

"Pour me a glass of water," Zhou Ze said to Bai Yingying.

"I'm tired, I'm going to rest." Bai Yingying snorted and sat down directly behind the counter.

Zhou Ze didn't say anything and sat down in front of the middle-aged man.

"Do you have any other family members?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man raised his head. "My parents have both passed away. I only have an older sister."

"Give me your sister's contact information, or tell me her address."

Zhou Ze took out his phone and opened a video, and a voice came from inside:

"Or, I can shout right now and say you broke into my house intending to rape me. Then, my parents will hear my voice and come over, the neighbors will come too, and someone will call the police. You'll be ruined…………"

The video on the phone recorded the scene at that time.

The middle-aged man's lips parted slightly. He was a little excited and a little hesitant, and then he said cautiously:

"If this is made public, it will ruin her life."

"Then, who will be responsible for your life? And for the schools and your relatives who were implicated? Is this what you call womanly kindness?" Zhou Ze said very impolitely. "And for the reputation of the teaching profession?"

The middle-aged man looked conflicted, then nodded. "Okay, I'll tell you my sister's address."

After the middle-aged man said the address, his body began to slowly dissipate, slowly seeming to melt into the ground.

He had finished reading the book,

His obsession had also been resolved,

He didn't need Zhou Ze to forcibly send him; he went to hell on his own.

True scholars leave gracefully.

Zhou Ze sent the video to Bai Yingying, who said with some surprise: "Boss, as long as his sister gives this video to the police, he shouldn't have to wear a hat when he walks on the road to the Yellow Springs, right?"

"Heh..." Zhou Ze laughed. "The hat can't be taken off."

"How could that be? The truth of the matter has been reversed," Bai Yingying said, not understanding. "Justice is in the hearts of the people."

"Generally speaking, the number of clicks and discussions on a news story about a firefighter who died in the line of duty on the internet is far less than a news story about a pet dog being tortured to death."

"What does that mean?" Bai Yingying clearly didn't understand. She had only recently come into contact with the internet and only knew how to play some single-player games.

"Do you know what people's attention to something depends on?"

"Like this matter? It must be the truth of the matter."

"No, people only care whether the 'truth' they see is interesting."

Zhou Ze pointed to the top of his head,

"Of the people who put that hat on him in the first place, how many of them will see the message refuting the rumors, we don't know. Even if a small portion of them see it, what do you think their reaction will be?"

"Shame, sadness?"

"If a normal person does something wrong face-to-face and is criticized by someone, they will feel guilt and sadness."

"So isn't that right?"

"But across a screen, most people usually only have one reaction."

"What reaction?"

"Oh."

"Oh?" Bai Yingying didn't understand and asked, "Then what?"

"Then they do what they were doing."
