Chapter 88

Zhao Shanlin and his wife were childhood sweethearts, they grew up together, and his wife was even two years older than him.

Zhao Shanlin was not favored at home when he was a child, he often went hungry, and if it weren’t for his wife’s help, he might have died long ago.

He had an extraordinary affection for his wife.

Later, when he grew up, his wife’s family planned to sell her for a dowry.

Zhao Shanlin stepped forward and said that they should give him half a year, and he would pay a dowry of 1,000 yuan!

You have to know, at that time, a dowry of 1,000 yuan was a sky-high price!

His wife’s family, for the sake of this huge sum, agreed to wait for half a year.

Then Zhao Shanlin went out alone to make his fortune.

He did everything, as long as it made money, he would do it.

Later, with his reckless attitude, he finally made a name for himself, gaining the respect of the big boss above, and became a small leader in the black market.

He managed the black market, and he also traded goods on the black market.

Finally, he managed to gather 1,000 yuan for the dowry in half a year.

He married his wife.

That was the most fulfilling moment of his life.

But their happiness didn’t last two years, his wife went home and encountered hooligans.

Later, she couldn’t take it anymore and jumped into the river.

She was pregnant when she jumped.

Zhao Shanlin’s wife was his salvation, and after she died, he felt his life was filled with darkness.

All that was left was hatred.

He wanted to find those beasts!

But the area around Wanli Village was sparsely populated, and there were no surveillance cameras in this era, so finding them was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

There was only one clue.

When his wife was violated, those people were all covering their faces, she clearly saw that one man had a large mole on his chest!

This was the only clue!

People in this era didn’t usually show their chests, so finding someone with a mole on their chest was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Inside the house, Zhao Shanlin looked at Lu Yunxiang coldly.

“You better not be playing me!”

Lu Yunxiang knew that he was a madman driven by love.

Lu Yunxiang said directly, “I’m not playing you, what I said is true. My stepfather, Zhang Qing, has a big mole on his chest, if you don’t believe me, you can investigate.”

When Zhao Shanlin heard “big mole,” his whole body shook, his eyes bloodshot.

“Are you telling the truth?”

Lu Yunxiang nodded.

“True!”

The next second, Zhao Shanlin rushed into the room, grabbed a kitchen knife and was about to charge out.

Lu Yunxiang saw his impulsiveness and finally understood why he hadn’t been able to avenge his wife in his previous life, and had even gotten himself involved.

She quickly called out to him from behind.

“You go kill Zhang Qing, what about the others? Also, are you sure you can kill Zhang Qing?”

Anyway, in his previous life, Zhao Shanlin had also gone to Zhang Qing with a knife, but not only did he not kill Zhang Qing, he was caught on the spot.

Even though he was in prison, he said that Zhang Qing had insulted his wife, and he was retaliating.

Was there any evidence?

It would be counterproductive!

Zhao Shanlin stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at Lu Yunxiang, as if asking her what to do.

Lu Yunxiang beckoned him over.

“Come here, he’s my stepfather, I know him, I know what he values most, and I know what he cares about most. Making him lose everything, living a miserable life, wouldn’t that be more satisfying than killing him?”

“Besides, I only know about him, what about the others? Don’t you want to know who they are?”

Lu Yunxiang did only know about Zhang Qing.

In her previous life, Zhao Shanlin went to prison, but he did injure Zhang Qing.

Zhang Qing cursed at Zhao Shanlin in his home, saying that it was just a woman, he had played with more than one woman in the woods of Wanli Village, why didn’t anyone make a fuss?

At that moment, she knew that Zhang Qing was evil to his core.

Zhao Shanlin walked back into the house, his face gloomy.

“Why are you helping me?”

Lu Yunxiang smirked.

“I’m not helping you.  I’m helping myself.  You can find out about me and you’ll understand.”

Fengcheng was just a county.  It wasn’t big, but it wasn’t small either.  Lu Yunxiang and her family lived in the south of the city, while Zhao Shanlin lived in the north.  The south was the prosperous part of Fengcheng, with factories and mostly workers.  The north was a chaotic area, where people lived more complicated lives and were constantly on the move.  Zhao Shanlin’s place was slightly better, not yet in the completely chaotic area.  Otherwise, she wouldn’t have dared to come.

Zhao Shanlin’s mind was racing.  He tried to calm himself down.  He was actually very smart and reckless, otherwise he wouldn’t have become the top boss of the black market.  But when it came to his wife, he would lose control!

Now, after Lu Yunxiang’s reminder, Zhao Shanlin had calmed down.

Yes, he had more than one enemy!  Killing Zhang Qing and getting himself involved wasn’t worth it!  He wanted everyone to pay the price!  Besides, he had many ways to kill Zhang Qing without getting himself involved.  Moreover, he needed to make sure Lu Yunxiang wasn’t lying to him!  He wanted to see if Zhang Qing had a big mole on his chest.

After reaching an agreement with Zhao Shanlin, Lu Yunxiang left the north of Fengcheng.  As she walked back home, she suddenly heard a voice calling out excitedly from behind.

“Xiangxiang!”

The next second, her wrist was grabbed.  Su Wenyuan looked at her with surprise.

“Xiangxiang, you’re back!”

Su Wenyuan’s eyes were full of amazement when he saw Lu Yunxiang.  Lu Yunxiang had always been beautiful, but that beauty was only superficial, hollow, and didn’t arouse his interest.  But now, Lu Yunxiang had fair skin and beautiful features, and she was wearing a beautiful dress.  She was glowing.  Many people on the street were looking at her.  She was the center of attention.  Su Wenyuan noticed her because of the attention she was getting.  When he saw Lu Yunxiang’s face, he was excited.

Lu Yunxiang glared at him coldly.

“Let go of my hand, or I’ll call the police and accuse you of molestation.”

Su Wenyuan had been detained in the police station for a few days, and the time there had been unbearable.  So when he heard Lu Yunxiang say she was going to call the police, he was immediately scared and let go of her.  Then, he said helplessly, “Xiangxiang, I know you’re going to the countryside.  It’s very hard there, not a place for you.  Don’t worry, as long as you marry me, I’ll find a way to keep you from going.”

Lu Yunxiang crossed her arms and looked at him with a smirk.

“Do you know that Yang Qingxue is also going to the countryside?  You love her so much.  Why don’t you marry her and save her from going?  After all, she’s the one who’s been pampered since she was young.”

Su Wenyuan’s face froze.  Then he explained.

“Xiangxiang, you’ve misunderstood me.  I was tricked by Yang Qingxue.  I thought I bought all those things for you, but she embezzled them!  She said you didn’t want them!”

Lu Yunxiang laughed.  She really looked down on Su Wenyuan.  How come she hadn’t noticed how hypocritical and shameful he was in her previous life?
