She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1006: Chapter 1064: Too Terrifying

Shao Yiping, wearing ankle cuffs, paced anxiously, the cuffs clattering as he moved. Suddenly, his footsteps changed, and he abruptly turned around to look at the man outside.

His posture was upright, exuding extraordinary presence, his long-term authority lent him an intimidating aura even without anger, and his gaze was sharp and insightful.

Shao Yiping had secretly seen Hai Shuangjie before; this was not him, but someone even more imposing.

He guessed in his heart that only someone as renowned as Hai Yunfeng could possess such an aura.

Hai Yunfeng looked at Shao Yiping, sizing him up internally, having grasped the situation in detail on the way here. He couldn’t help but think that if Zhou Yuan had married him, perhaps she would have been happier.

Shao Yiping hesitated before speaking, but under his sharp gaze, he conceded first.

”Hmm!” Hai Yunfeng nodded and then, expressionless, said, ”Zhou Yuan is dead; she just committed suicide.”

”I... I know!” Shao Yiping seemed relieved, his attitude causing a mocking curve to form at the corner of Hai Yunfeng’s lips. Then he left, taking his people with him without uttering another word.

President Zhu followed quietly like a shadow throughout; once out of the detention room, Hai Yunfeng got into the car first and left, while the confidential secretary stayed behind to handle the aftermath.

”President Zhu, it’s troubling you. Once this case is concluded, we need to take Zhou Yuan. After all, she was married to Chairman Hai, so the funeral arrangements must be made.”

”Alright, alright, you can rest assured,” President Zhu nodded repeatedly, ”I’ll have someone process the paperwork immediately, and once completed, we’ll make it public.”

”No need to make it public!” the confidential secretary said, ”Even if you don’t announce it, those who should know will find out.”

”Hehehe... alright.”

Once the paperwork was done, as soon as the confidential secretary left, Group Leader Liu couldn’t hold back, ”What’s going on? Even after this, we’re still having a funeral?”

”Why not have one? It’s a noble family, after all, and the proprieties must be observed.” After saying that, fearing Group Leader Liu wouldn’t understand, he added, ”There was no divorce, no paperwork, she just died like that, and nominally she’s still the Hai family’s daughter-in-law. Of course, we must personally arrange the funeral since she’s been married for over twenty years, and this dignity will be afforded to her.”

Born gloriously, died splendidly, Zhou Yuan can be considered to have died where she belonged.

”Then... then...” Group Leader Liu stammered for a long time, feeling something was amiss but couldn’t articulate it. The Minister of General Political Department visited Zhou Yuan first, and she committed suicide on the spot.

Then he met Shao Yiping... wait... could Shao Yiping be dead too?

If that’s the case, then the Minister of General Political Department is terrifying!

”Our Minister of General Political Department is actually a very gentle person, but once someone steps on his bottom line, they won’t even know how they died. Just wait and see! With Zhou Yuan dead, Shao Yiping is next.”

Group Leader Liu felt chills running down his spine even in broad daylight, ”Shao Yiping will die?”

”Definitely, without a doubt.”

”Really... really?”

”Would this be false?”

”What... what exactly did he do?”

”It’s terrifying because he did nothing, to manipulate people’s minds to such an extent, isn’t it frightening?”

President Zhu did not hesitate, having a fair understanding of this cousin-in-law.

To celebrate An’an’s clearance of suspicion, Sheng Ning bought many fresh vegetables, fruits, and fish. Previously, she’d wanted to invite neighbors over, but various things kept delaying it; this time, it was just right.

Xu Qigang was pleased, seeing her giving face, a smile curled at his lips.
