Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 150 - 151: Evidence in the Night
Chapter 150: Chapter 151: Evidence in the Night
Eldest Sister-in-law Xu listened with confusion. “Sister-in-law, how did things become so complicated again? Do you know the name of that person?”
Cheng Yinghe shook her head. “I didn’t have time to listen before my uncle came back, so I hurried away.”
“Can you help me arrange a meeting with Cheng Yinglan?” Xu Ying asked.
Cheng Yinghe nodded. It would be easy for her.
Xu Ying gave her a grateful smile. By 6:00 p.m., Cheng Yinglan was being dragged out by Cheng Yinghe.
Cheng Yinglan followed Cheng Yinghe, noticing the increasingly secluded area, immediately became cautious. “Cheng Yinghe, where are you taking me?”
“Sister,” Cheng Yinghe said mysteriously, “I’m taking you to meet someone, and you’ll definitely be surprised.”
Cheng Yinglan became anxious and asked irritably, “Who are you taking me to meet?”
“Do you recognize Xu Shengshun?”
It was evening, and winter days are naturally short, let alone the path emptied of people, Cheng Yinghe led her on a secluded trail.
The cold wind howled, the night sky was dim, and all around, it was silent. The trees on both sides rustled, and, hearing the name she feared most, Cheng Yinglan’s heart clenched.
“Cheng Yinghe, what nonsense are you talking about? I don’t understand what you’re saying. I want to go back now, let me pass,” Chen Yinglan said, reaching out to push Cheng Yinghe.
Cheng Yinghe grabbed her hands tightly, anger flooding her eyes as she shouted, “Sister, even now, won’t you honestly confess?
Do you know how terribly you caused harm to Xu Shengshun?”
Having truly liked the man once, Cheng Yinglan’s heart skipped, and she looked at Cheng Yinghe pleadingly and asked, “What happened to him?”
“What happened? At first, you harmed him into idiocy, and now he is gone. Are you satisfied?” Cheng Yinghe scoffed coldly.
Cheng Yinglan was greatly startled; her body went weak, her lips turned pale as she muttered involuntarily, “How could this be, it can’t be, how could he be gone?
Cheng Yinghe, stop spouting nonsense. His family treated him so well, always looking after him, how could he be gone?” Cheng Yinglan didn’t believe it.
Cheng Yinghe disdainfully looked up at her, “But after all, he was a fool, understood nothing. Even if his family never left his side, accidents happen.
Not long ago, Xu Shengshun was tricked by children in the village into running out, fell into the river, and was dead by the time he was rescued.”
Cheng Yinglan suddenly widened her eyes, her expression distorted. She slowly reached out, touching the tears on her face, her eyes widened in horror even more.
Cheng Yinghe continued relentlessly, “You caused such misery to Xu Shengshun. Aren’t you afraid he’ll come seeking revenge?”
“Did you know Xu Shengshun?” Cheng Yinglan, still somewhat clever, quickly sensed something amiss.
Cheng Yinghe gave a miserable laugh, turning her head with a gleam on her face, her mouth dripping with fresh blood.
In the dark night, a crescent moon hung lonely in the pitch-black sky, a few distant loner stars intermittently shot out cold, distant lights.
A piteous female voice sharply cried out, “Yinglan, didn’t you say you loved me? Why would you help Zhang Guoqing harm me?
I’m really heartbroken. Why did you harm me, why?”
“Ah! A ghost!” Cheng Yinglan screamed in terror, her legs trembling. The sight of the ghostly face frightened her so much she couldn’t even run.
“Yinglan, my death was so tragic, come join me,” Cheng Yinghe said, her words echoing endlessly around.
Cheng Yinglan had never seen such a scene. At first, she was somewhat disbelieving, but now she was terrified to death.
“Just come join me!”
“Come down and keep me company!”
“Yinglan, my death was so horrible!”
“It wasn’t me, I didn’t cause your death!” Cheng Yinglan covered her ears, screaming.

“Why did you and Zhang Guoqing have to harm me.”
“Why didn’t you marry me? I loved you so much, why didn’t you want me, how am I different from Zhang Ru?” Cheng Yinglan collapsed on the ground, too weak to resist, as she looked up in despair at Cheng Yinghe.
“What’s different is, if it was Zhang Ru, she would never have conspired with others to harm me, but you, constantly claiming to love me, yet why would you harm me!”
“It’s not like that, I never thought of harming you; I just wanted to see you one more time that day.
It was Zhang Guoqing, all him, and also Wu Zhengyi who harmed you, as you know. Wu Zhengyi liked Zhang Ru, and you took her from him. Though he wouldn’t say it, he always held it against you.
His father is also the Deputy Factory Director at the meat production factory. Initially, he promised to arrange a job for both me and Zhang Guoqing and then had you killed.
But I never intended to harm you at all. It was all Zhang Guoqing’s own doing. If it weren’t for me stopping Zhang Guoqing that day, you would have died then and not lived till now.” Cheng Yinglan concluded with some indignation.
“You should be seeking revenge on Zhang Guoqing, why come after me instead?” she defied.
A slap sounded, “pa,” and in the dim night light, two more figures appeared.
Cheng Yinglan covered her face, her breathing suddenly becoming rapid, as if a lifetime was choking her throat, “You all ganged up to deceive me?
Cheng Yinghe, you really are heartless, I am your cousin.”
Cheng Yinghe curled her lips in disdain, “You know you’re my cousin, yet ever since you were little, you loved to snatch my things and even sided with outsiders to bully me; now you have the face to say you’re my cousin.”
Cheng Yinglan’s face turned shades of pale and green as she looked at Xu Ying and the others with eyes blazing with hatred; she looked up and smiled, “Even if you know the truth, what can you do?
But you also don’t have any evidence against me. Let me tell you, Wu Zhengyi’s father is the factory director, you bunch of nobodies can’t stand against Mr. Wu.”
“Who says we don’t have evidence?” Xu Ying pulled out a tape recorder and pressed a button, soon voices of Cheng Yinglan and Cheng Yinghe filled the recorder.
Seeing this, Cheng Yinglan’s complexion instantly turned pale; she struggled to snatch the tape recorder from Xu Ying’s hand but was kicked to the ground by Xu Ying.
Cheng Yinghe and Eldest Sister-in-law Xu’s expressions changed.
Eldest Sister-in-law Xu hadn’t anticipated Xu Ying’s violent side, suddenly feeling moved; although her little sister-in-law wasn’t great before, she had never hit her.
It appears that after that incident, her little sister-in-law was actually tolerating her; she had thought her sister-in-law was bad at that time, but now it seems she wasn’t.
Xu Ying didn’t realize her kick had provoked a chain of thoughts in Eldest Sister-in-law Xu.
“Sister-in-law, your cousin is way out of line, snatching your things and even helping outsiders bully you, you should stay away from her in the future.
They were even thinking of killing someone; how ruthless could they be?” Eldest Sister-in-law Xu said, somewhat frightened.
Currently, the circle for spreading information is very small, not comparable to later generations with developed networks.
Even if there are murderers elsewhere, the news doesn’t reach them.
Eldest Sister-in-law Xu was facing a murderer for the first time, sweat breaking out; the girl looked decent and not like a ruthless person by appearance, yet she could be so cruel to others.
After this incident, for a while, Eldest Sister-in-law Xu suspected everyone might have killed someone.
After taking the group back, she took the tape recorder to a secure location, had the system copy it several times, and then she went to sleep.
