Era: After foreseeing the future, I changed my fate using spatial abilities.

Chapter 216 Fire
"Grandma, Xiao Qiu didn't misbehave..."

She just missed her aunt after not seeing her for two days.

Hu Yingtao shook her head slightly at Su Ning, who was about to take her away, and gently coaxed the little one towards the room.

"Didn't Grandma tell you? Auntie's been busy these past few days, but once she's done, she'll naturally be able to spend more time with our Xiao Qiu..."

"Why is Auntie so busy, just like Uncle? Can't you let Uncle go alone...?"

The innocent voices gradually faded away, slowly taking away the smiles left on the faces of the three people in the living room.

"Don't say anything yet, go eat quickly, we can talk after we've filled our stomachs."

"Okay dad."

"Godfather, I'll go check on Sister Wu Meng first, apply some medicine to her, and come right back."

Zhang Fu nodded in agreement and took his son to the kitchen to heat up the food, so they could finish cooking and come out at the same time.

The temperature at night was much lower than during the day, and the cold wind felt slightly stinging when inhaled.

The yellow leaves on the vines along the courtyard wall have all fallen and piled up in the corner, becoming nourishment for a few fruit trees.

After a quick dinner, everyone gathered in the living room again, just like the night before, except for Zhang Ze.

I shared with Zhang Qi what we had accomplished that day.

When Zhang Qi learned that she had successfully located the place where the Yin family stored smuggled cultural relics and even figured out the time of the transaction, he gave her a thumbs up in admiration.

Ningning was lucky; he had been following and monitoring him all day yesterday, but he hadn't seen a single splash.

Fortunately, he also gained something today. He not only successfully met Wei Kun, the second-in-command of the Wei family, but also, with the cooperation of Luo Fusen and others, successfully set a trap for him in secret.

Thinking about the mess in those factories, the old man who finally settled the responsibility must have been working himself to the bone for quite some time.

Once the affairs of the Yin family and his own little beast are exposed together, and with that big fire added to the mix... he doesn't believe the Wei family can emerge unscathed.

In a good mood, Zhang Qi took a sip of hot water before continuing, "Now all that's left is to lay the bait."

……

While Su Ning and Zhang Qi were discussing the bait, the fuse for the Wei and Yin families was lit first by Wei Junjie and Yin Zhen.

Upon learning that it was all the work of his nominal wife, he was consumed by rage.

Having been beaten into submission all night, Wei Junjie stubbornly turned around and returned home after finishing his IV drip and with his freshly treated injuries.

It's quite a coincidence that even when the couple both come home, they might not see each other for several days, but tonight they bumped into each other right in the middle of the night.

Yin Zhen, dressed in her finest attire, had just returned from a day of fun, but somehow her exquisite makeup was all ruined.

He lay languidly on the large sofa, his limbs looking weak, yet his eyes unconsciously revealed the satisfaction of a full meal.

Hearing the noise coming from the doorway, he didn't even bother to glance at it.

"Yin Zhen!"

The sudden shout startled her. After she came to her senses, Yin Zhen didn't hold back and immediately retorted, "Wei Junjie, what's wrong with you!"

Finally, she deigned to give him a proper look, and after a moment's surprise upon seeing him clearly, she burst out laughing, "So that's why you were making such a racket like a firecracker! Turns out you got beaten up, hahaha~"

"Quick, tell me what happened! Who's so powerful that they could beat you up like this? Tell me so I can have a good laugh!"

"You crazy woman! You vile hussy, you slut!"

The smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a cold glint. Yin Zhen took off his shoes, held them in his hand, and slowly stood up. "Want to fight?"

The question had barely left his mouth when, before he could even react, the petite Yin Zhen had already nimbly rushed in front of him, her raised heel slamming into his skull, showing absolutely no sense of martial ethics.

"You fucking want to die!"

Normally, Wei Junjie would have been hesitant because of the Yin family behind her, but now?
Touching her head, she felt a stinging pain and a sticky residue on her fingertips. Old grudges were fueled by new hatred, and Wei Junjie's eyes instantly turned red. He raised his foot and delivered a vicious kick to her heart.

Yin Zhen, who thought she would have the upper hand as always, fell heavily to the ground, and the dull pain in her chest made her vision go black. She still couldn't believe it when she fell.

"You, you actually dared to hit me?!"

"You'll see if I dare to do it."

His violent impulses were fully unleashed, and Wei Junjie charged at her like a madman, grabbing her long hair and pulling it back forcefully.

The pain in her scalp forced Yin Zhen to tilt her head back, blood slowly seeping from the corner of her mouth. "Let go! Wei Junjie, if you touch me again, I… ah!" *Bang—*

Move a little?
That's not enough!
Wei Junjie grabbed her hair and slammed her to the ground repeatedly.

At first, Yin Zhen's screams and cries could still be heard, but as large patches of blood spread across the ground from spot to mass, the sounds from her mouth gradually became weaker.

He didn't let her off the hook because of her brief fainting spell. Wei Junjie's lips curled into a sinister smile as he grabbed her hair and dragged her toward the bedroom.

From the living room sofa to the wooden staircase and then to the master bedroom, the path was stained with blood.

"What...what do you want...let me go...I'm going to tell Mom and Dad...Wei Junjie..."

"Scared? Don't worry, I've done the experiment. Your injuries won't kill you!"

"Tear--"

As he spoke, he violently tore her clothes to shreds. Looking at the blue and purple hickeys on them, Wei Junjie's smile became increasingly terrifying and cruel.

"That random guy outside seems to be taking good care of you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Zhen was found completely naked and tied to a chair with her hands behind her back.

I always knew Wei Junjie was a pervert, but I never thought he would actually dare to use that on me.

A look of fear crept into Yin Zhen's eyes. Whether it was from fear or the cold, her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Snapped--"

"what!"

"Was it good?"

Looking at the bloody welts on her back from the belt, Wei Junjie licked his lips, his eyes filled with a chilling excitement and an uncontrollable thrill.

It must be said that Wei Junjie still had a sliver of rationality in his heart, which prevented him from killing the person directly.

After venting his anger, he threw Yin Zhen, who was as still as a dead dog, onto the floor beside the bed.

Despite being covered in injuries and having exhausted all his strength, he fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Yin Zhen invited Aunt Ge, who worked there, to come early in the morning as usual, bringing fresh vegetables to clean the house and prepare lunch.

The wife usually eats alone at home, and she never gets up until noon. As for her husband, he has been working here for several months, almost half a year, and she has never seen him once.

Having prepared lunch, Aunt Ge considered her task complete and could go home.

This simple job pays thirty yuan a month, which is one or two yuan more than the salary of a regular worker in the factory. Naturally, she would do such a good job diligently.

Today, however, is destined to be different.

As soon as she took out her keys and opened the door, she smelled a strange, fishy odor.

When she followed the scent to the hall, she saw the dried, dark bloodstains left on the ground after the dragging, and her legs went weak, almost causing her to collapse to the ground.

Fortunately, she was smart enough to cover her mouth tightly with her hand before she could scream, and she didn't care about the vegetables, radishes, meat bones and other things that were scattered all over the ground by the vegetable basket that fell to the ground.

After a slight hesitation, for the sake of that thirty yuan a month, he moved his legs and followed the bloodstains up the stairs.

Upon discovering the bloodstains and arriving at the master bedroom door, Aunt Ge was already covered in cold sweat. Without further hesitation, she turned and ran.

Even after running all the way to the street office, I was still dazed, my mind completely blank.

The officers on duty saw her shivering all over, her eyes filled with terror as if she had suffered a great shock. Despite the cold weather, she was covered in sweat, which meant that something terrible had happened!

"Auntie, auntie, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

"Someone has...someone has died!"

It took Aunt Ge a long time to regain her senses and voice. She grabbed the hand of the person asking the question and began to recount what she had seen incoherently.

Having learned of the situation, the officers did not delay and arrived at the address she had given them as quickly as possible.

Wei Junjie, who was fast asleep and unaware of what was happening, was immediately handcuffed and locked in the police station, while Yin Zhen, who was barely alive, was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.
