Chapter 433: Zhou Lin (4)
Chapter 433: Chapter 433: Zhou Lin (4)
Although they knew Shi Ming was a dwarf, there were no flaws visible from the outside.
And these two, one big and one small, sitting there drinking and eating, looked so incongruous.
Zhou Lin was not at home, allowing Shi Jie to reveal his true face unscrupulously.
"As previously agreed, once it’s done, you’ll get one hundred thousand, don’t back out at the last minute!"
Shi Jie stared venomously at the dwarf.
The dwarf didn’t care about Shi Jie’s gaze, letting out a cold laugh, "In our line of work, we never break the rules, don’t worry!"
Shi Jie stared at the dwarf for a few seconds, then withdrew his gaze to discuss the next plan with him.
Their plan was not to rush; it needed to be executed slowly, as haste might attract the police’s attention.
Also, the three members of the Zhou Family couldn’t have accidents at the same time, it had to be one by one.
Mrs. Zhou was the least healthy, she could be the first to die.
Once Mrs. Zhou died, Father Zhou, overcome with grief, could be the second.
Next, with both of her parents dead, Zhou Lin’s health could deteriorate, leading her to develop a mental illness, and then she could die.
In the end, all the wealth of the Zhou Family would belong to Shi Jie!
The life of living under someone else’s roof and currying favor with the Zhou Family for the past ten years would finally come to an end!
He, Shi Jie, could marry a gentle and considerate wife and have a child with the surname Shi!
Yes!
The reason he didn’t want Zhou Lin to have a child was that when they got married, the Zhou Family said the first child had to be surnamed Zhou.
Ha!
Why!
The child of the Shi Family, why should he have the surname Zhou!
Shi Jie, who came out of a small mountain village, didn’t fit in with these big city people after arriving in Sea City.
However, he had his pride, he was considered a "Phoenix" from his place.
Initially, to quickly establish himself in Sea City, he chose Zhou Lin.
Zhou Lin not only had good parents and a good family background but was also simple-minded and naive.
At a glance, she was someone who had never experienced life’s hardships, never encountered setbacks.
Such girls were the easiest to deceive!
So, he deliberately created various "chance encounters" to make Zhou Lin gradually fall in love with him.
What followed went very smoothly, the girl’s love-struck mind was formidable.
With Zhou Lin around, he could easily gain the approval of Father and Mrs. Zhou.
His household registration was directly transferred over, and his job was secured.
He didn’t have to worry about money, with Zhou Lin around, how could Father and Mrs. Zhou let their precious daughter suffer?
In these ten years, he could say everything went smoothly!
But, it wasn’t enough!
Because all of this didn’t belong to Shi Jie.
What he wanted to do was to turn everything from the Zhou Family into Shi Jie’s!
Be it connections or money!
That night, Shi Jie had a sweet dream.
In the dream, there were no Zhou Family members, and his job was transferred to the Education Bureau.
He married a pretty and gentle wife.
He also had a lovely son.
He returned to his hometown with his wife and son, and everyone looked at him with envy, praised him, admired him...
Waking up the next day, Shi Jie was still in a great mood.
The dream he had last night would soon come true!
Shi Jie, somewhat impatient, reminded Shi Ming on the way to the Zhou Family.
"Find another opportunity to poison those two old bastards and hurry up and let them die!"
Shi Ming looked at Shi Jie puzzled, "Didn’t we agree last night to wait a bit longer?"
Shi Jie: "It’s okay, sooner or later they have to die, no one will know how they died anyway."
Shi Ming looked at Shi Jie coldly, "Haste makes waste."
Being stared at by Shi Ming’s icy gaze, Shi Jie’s restless heart gradually calmed down.
He paused for a moment to cool himself down.
"Let’s follow last night’s plan."
Shi Ming: "Hmph!"
When Zhou Lin received the test report from the police, her whole body turned cold.
Indeed, the medicine Shi Jie bought for her had something mixed in it!
The test report stated that long-term use would cause dependency and lead to irritability, loss of control, sensitivity, and depression...
These were all her symptoms in the past two years.
Zhou Lin took a deep breath, leaving the report in her school office, not taking it home.
With a sharp gaze, she was filled with anger.
She began to quietly transfer the assets under their names.
Ironically, after graduation, both Shi Jie and she started working.
The salary of a teacher wasn’t much.
Zhou Lin, focused on enjoyment, had never had any concept of money, and their salaries were practically spent each month.
The house, car, all were given to them by Father and Mrs. Zhou.
Sometimes, her parents would even provide them with living expenses.
Normally they hadn’t counted, but after calculating it recently, her parents had given so much to their little family.
Both financially and in terms of connections.
Shi Jie was now the grade supervisor at their school, and she heard her parents discussing plans to transfer him to the Education Bureau next year.
One could imagine how many favors her parents had used during this period.
Zhou Lin’s condition hadn’t been good lately.
Visibly thinner and her mental health very poor.
Shi Jie looked at his wife with concern, "Linlin, how about going to the hospital for a check-up? You don’t look well now."
Father and Mrs. Zhou also looked at their daughter with concern, painfully aware of what had caused her condition.
Zhou Lin shook her head, "It’s fine, I’m just worried about my parents’ health. This time when they fell ill, I realized my parents have aged, and I’m getting old too."
Mrs. Zhou looked at her daughter and smiled, "You have just realized we’re old?
Don’t think too much. Instead of overthinking, you should focus on good things.
The future will only get better and better."
Mrs. Zhou spoke with a double meaning.
Zhou Lin understood her mother’s intention, nodding resolutely, "We will, all of us will get better and better."
Shi Jie, seeing the state of things, was secretly delighted.
He guessed it was because of the medicine Zhou Lin was taking.
That night, Shi Jie instructed Shi Ming to find another opportunity to poison Father and Mrs. Zhou once more.
From Zhou Lin’s current state, perhaps after the two old bastards had an accident, she might soon pass away too.
That night, the police informed the Zhou Family of Shi Jie’s plans immediately after they found out.
When Zhou Lin knew about Shi Jie’s plan, she trembled with rage.
He actually wanted to harm her parents!
Gradually, she couldn’t control her emotions and wanted to kill Shi Jie.
Xiang Rong, seeing Zhou Lin’s condition was off, immediately called out to her.
"Zhou Lin! Zhou Lin! Calm down! Zhou Lin?"
Father and Mrs. Zhou, seeing their daughter’s condition, changed their expressions and called out to her.
Hearing someone calling her, Zhou Lin’s gaze gradually became clear. Seeing her parents’ worried gazes, she slowly regained her composure.
Mrs. Zhou’s tears fell instantly, seeing what her daughter had been reduced to by Shi Jie.
Father Zhou was also furious, he wouldn’t let Shi Jie get away with this!
Xiang Rong gently patted Zhou Lin’s back, softly comforting her, chatting to divert her attention.
Before long, Zhou Lin’s emotions stabilized.
