Chapter 404: Accomplice

Lu Sheng wanted to say something when someone knocked on the door again.

“Old Master must have returned this time.”

Mdm Cheng looked at Xiao Ying and said, “Hurry up and open the door.”

At first, Xiao Ying was a little scared. After all, a murder had just happened next door, and it was someone she was familiar with.

However, after hearing from Mdm Cheng that it might be a prank by a child nearby, the fear in her heart relaxed slightly.

This time, after Xiao Ying went to open the door, she did not come back alone.

Behind her followed a man who looked identical to Cheng Hai.

Xiao Ying smiled and said, “Mdm is right. Old Master is back!”

“Father!”

Cheng Hao pounced over and hugged Cheng Hu’s thigh with a smile.

“Old Master is back!”

Mdm Cheng stood up and smiled at the father-son pair.

Cheng Hu picked his son up and walked to Mdm Cheng. “I forgot to take my things.”

“Is it these?”

Mdm Cheng lifted the basket in her hand with a peaceful smile.

“Yes.”

Cheng Hu nodded.

“Brother…”

When Cheng Hai saw that Cheng Hu was ‘ignoring’ him, he felt uncomfortable.

Why was he standing there but everyone was ignoring him?

“Sigh—”

Mdm Cheng sighed faintly. “Brother-in-law is too rash. No matter what Mother Tan had done, he shouldn’t have included Xiao Die…”

At this point, Mdm Cheng’s clear eyes reddened.

“Thus, he deserves his current fate.”

There was no sadness on Cheng Hu’s face. More of it was silence.

“Brother, what are you saying? What fate?”

Cheng Hai was dumbfounded.

What were they saying? Wasn’t he here?

“Hurry up and go after you’ve taken your things. Also, buy a few more stacks of paper money on the streets and burn some for Xiao Die.”

As Mdm Cheng spoke, she passed the basket to Cheng Hu.

Cheng Hu received the basket and placed Cheng Hao down.

“Hao Er, stay at home obediently and accompany Mother. Father will be back soon.”

“Okay!”

Cheng Hao nodded obediently.

“Burn paper money?”

Cheng Hai frowned and was about to pull Cheng Hu aside to clarify the matter when his hand passed through Cheng Hu’s. This made him fall into a momentary daze.

“What… What happened? Why did this happen?”

He stared at his hand and mumbled.

“Don’t you understand?”

Chu Sihan said coldly, “You’re already dead. You committed suicide for your crime.”

“I… I’m dead?”

He stared at his hand in a daze, not knowing how to react.

No wonder they could not see him. He was already dead!

“Since I’m already dead, why can you still see me?”

He looked at Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng and asked coldly.

Lu Sheng blinked and smiled. “Because we’re ghosts too!”

“You… are here to capture me?”

After accepting the news of his death, he squinted at the two people opposite him.

“This is not our business.”

Lu Sheng smiled faintly. “We came here to confirm how you killed them. However, we’ve confirmed it now.”

Cheng Hai sneered. “Why do you care about the matters above when you belong down there?”

Lu Sheng smiled at him. “You might not believe me, but this Lord is in charge of both sides.”

He was right. Chu Sihan was both the highness of the Netherworld and the magistrate of the human world. He was in charge of both sides.

Chu Sihan said in a low voice, “Since the matter has been investigated, let’s go back.”

Lu Sheng nodded. The two of them were about to leave when Cheng Hai blocked their way.

“My brother is innocent. He didn’t know anything before this!”

He thought that Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan were going to deal with Cheng Hu.

“Move.”

Chu Sihan looked at him indifferently.

Although his voice was very calm, Cheng Hai inexplicably felt suppresed.

This person, no, this ghost, seemed to be extraordinary.

“Lord, for someone like him who killed his wife and child. How will he be judged in the Netherworld?”

Lu Sheng was very curious.

“Enter the River of Forgetfulness and never be reborn.”

“Ha—”

Cheng Hai refused to believe it. “Do you think you’re the King of Hades?”

Lu Sheng smiled. “You’re right. He’s indeed not the King of Hades.”

Cheng Hai snorted coldly.

Just as he was feeling smug, a chilly wind blew and two figures, one black and one white, suddenly appeared in front of them.

“Your Highness, Miss Lu!”

The Black and White Deities walked forward and bowed to the duo in unison.

No matter how stupid Cheng Hai was, he knew who these two people were.

However, why did they address this man as ‘Your Highness?’

“Throw him directly into the River of Forgetfulness. Also, tell the two in the River of Forgetfulness to take good care of him.”

Chu Sihan’s voice was as calm as usual, but the Black and White Deities broke out in cold sweat.

Throwing one into the River of Forgetfulness was already torture, but they still had to inform the two in the river.

Even if Cheng Hai’s soul did not dissipate, he would probably lose half of his soul.

“Yes!”

The duo hurriedly agreed.

Cheng Hai had never been to the Netherworld and did not understand what the River of Forgetfulness was for.

However, seeing the Black and White Deities’ attitude towards Chu Sihan and remembering how they called him ‘Your Highness’ just now, he could not help but be stunned.

The only person who could make the Black and White Deities address him as ‘Your Highness’ was either the King of Hades or his son!

At the thought of this, Cheng Hai felt a wave of fear. He was about to slip away when a tongue that was a few meters long wrapped around him.

Cheng Hai was still struggling frantically in midair. However, not only did the tongue not relax at all, but it even shrunk tighter.

Finally, it dragged him into a dark hole.

The courtyard regained its peace. Lu Sheng tsked and walked out with Chu Sihan.

Vaguely, the duo heard Mdm Cheng say, “Why did a gust of wind suddenly blow?”

Xiao Ying replied, “I also think that the wind is a bit strange.”

Lu Sheng smiled faintly and left the alley without turning back.

After leaving the alley and seeing that there was no one around, they tore off their Invisibility Talismans.

The two talismans combusted in the air and turned to ashes before falling onto the snow.

—————

At the Thousand Leaf Inn.

“How is it?”

Shi Yi wandered outside for half a day and did not see Yu Mingyue. He had no choice but to come back himself.

He had just entered when Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan arrived.

After getting the inn to prepare some tea, the three of them returned to their rooms.

As soon as they sat down, Shi Yi asked impatiently.

“The person the villagers saw was not Cheng Hai, but another person.”

Lu Sheng picked up her teacup and took a sip.

“Another person?”

Shi Yi was puzzled. “Who? Does Cheng Hai have a twin brother?”

“Ah!”

Lu Sheng teased him. “It’s rare for Young Master Shi to be smart.”

“Miss Lu, you’re wrong.”

Shi Yi defended himself aggrievedly. “Although I’m not as smart as Brother Chu, I’m not stupid enough to be considered smart for once.”

He felt that he was much smarter than Yun Ting, that blockhead.

Lu Sheng chuckled. “Yes, yes. Young Master Shi is very smart.”

Shi Yi snorted proudly.

Chu Sihan looked at him faintly.

“Cough—”

Shi Yi coughed lightly in shock and hurriedly said, “In that case, I got it right?”

“Yes!”

Lu Sheng nodded slightly. “The ‘Cheng Hai’ the villagers of Hua Xiang Village saw was actually his twin brother. He was tricked by Cheng Hai, so he became his substitute.”

“Helping the wicked do evil.”

Shi Yi looked at Chu Sihan. “Brother Chu, this is an accomplice. Aren’t we taking him down?”

Although it was unintentional, the mother-daughter pair would not have died if not for him.

Chu Sihan lifted the teapot lightly and poured himself a cup of tea. “He’ll go himself.”

Shi Yi frowned. “What do you mean?”

Lu Sheng looked at Chu Sihan and pondered for a moment before asking, “Lord, how many years will someone like Cheng Hu be sentenced to?”

“He only did bad things out of goodwill. He didn’t have the intention to kill anyone. The shortest term will be half a year. The longest term will be a year or two.”

Lu Sheng nodded.

One could tell that Cheng Hu was a responsible person. Moreover, his wife was gentle and virtuous, while his son was obedient and cute. She hoped that his sentence would be shorter so that he could reunite with his wife and child early.

“Brother Chu, do you mean that Cheng Hu will turn himself in?”

Shi Yi was stunned for a while before he regained his senses.

Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows slightly. “Sheng Sheng just praised you once and you returned to your original form?”

“Isn’t it your fault?”

Shi Yi snorted coldly. “You’re beating around the bush. I had to keep guessing.”

Couldn’t he just say it directly? Seriously!

Chu Sihan snorted coldly and said disdainfully, “That’s because you’re simple-minded. You can’t even understand such simple words.”

Shi Yi was speechless.

He could not be blamed for being slow-witted!

Lu Sheng was amused by his expression. After a while, she asked, “Didn’t Young Master Shi come back with Young Master Yun? Why don’t I see Young Master Yun?”

“He’s not back.”

Shi Yi pouted. “Most likely, he went to find Miss Fu.”

This person was cheap. When others pestered him to death, he ignored them. After they gave up on him, he rushed to find them.

Shi Yi felt that if he could defeat Yun Ting, he would have punched him long ago.

“Forget about Young Master Yun. Why are you so unhappy too?”

After Lu Sheng finished speaking, her eyes widened suddenly. “Young Master Shi, you… you don’t have a crush on Young Master Yun too, right?”

“Pfft—”

Shi Yi spat out the tea he had just drunk.

He coughed a few times before explaining speechlessly, “Miss Lu, do you have some misunderstanding about me?”

“Huh?”

Lu Sheng could not react in time.

“If I liked men, I would only like people like Brother Chu. People like Brother Yun… I don’t like them.”

He was not sick. Why would he like a blockhead?

“That’s hard to say.”

Lu Sheng tapped her fingers lightly on the table and said with a smile, “There’s a saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Furthermore, Young Master Shi knows Young Master Yun for a longer period of time than Lord, right? Perhaps feelings will develop over time?”

Shi Yi was speechless.

If he did not cherish his life, he would definitely use death to prove his innocence.

“Did you not see Miss Yu?”

Chu Sihan suddenly spoke faintly.

Shi Yi’s handsome face collapsed. “Brother Chu, you know me best!”

“Miss Yu?”

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Is that Yu Mingyue?”

“Yes!”

Shi Yi looked at Lu Sheng and remembered that Lu Sheng and Yu Mingyue seemed to have some ties.

“Miss Lu, I remember that you know Miss Yu?” he asked tentatively.

“Yes.”

Lu Sheng tsked and squinted at him. “So, the person Young Master Shi likes is Yu Mingyue?”

She thought it was Yun Ting.

“Ever since we parted at Dongfang Mansion, I can’t forget about her.”

Shi Yi was more direct than Yun Ting in terms of relationships.

If he liked her, he liked her. If he didn’t, he didn’t like her. There was no ambiguity.

“Oh?” Lu Sheng was surprised. “So, Young Master Shi fell in love with Miss Yu at first sight?”

Shi Yi smiled and nodded. “Probably.”

Be it her personality or looks, Yu Mingyue was considered above his standards in terms of a partner.

“If Miss Lu can help me, I will definitely be endlessly grateful!”

Seeing his expectant gaze, Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Then, what benefits do I, as a matchmaker, have?”

Shi Yi did not seem smart, but he was a man of character.

It would be good if Yu Mingyue could be together with him.

Shi Yi was elated. “As long as Miss Yu and I can be together, Miss Lu can have anything you want as long as I can do it.”

He did not even celebrate the new year. He did not travel all the way from the capital to Huang Yang Town to relax.

Lu Sheng nodded. “Okay, see you at the Lu family’s restaurant tomorrow afternoon.”

“Deal!”

Shi Yi spoke impatiently.

Lu Sheng nodded. “Deal.”

“Don’t be happy too early. What if she already has someone she likes?”

Chu Sihan spoke at an inappropriate time.

“So what?”

Shi Yi pretended not to care and said, “I, Shi Yi, can always pick things up or let them go. If Miss Yu really has a crush, I naturally won’t force her.”

Although he said that, Shi Yi felt uncomfortable at the thought of this possibility.

“Don’t listen to the Lord!”

Lu Sheng patted his shoulder and smiled. “We’ll know if Miss Yu has a crush tomorrow.”

Chu Sihan said coldly, “I was just saying. Don’t be too serious.”

He did not know if Yu Mingyue had someone she liked. He only wanted his good friend to be mentally prepared.

He did not want him to be happy for nothing.

This person was stupid. Once he fell in love, it would be difficult for him to walk out.

He did not want to see this fellow get drunk every day.

—————

The next day.

Yun Ting ‘coincidentally’ bumped into Fu Sisi yesterday. Although they only spoke a few words, it was much better than the previous two days.

His mood had changed drastically today, so he woke up exceptionally early.

However, he did not expect someone to wake up earlier than him.

Looking at Shi Yi, who was having his meal downstairs, Yun Ting felt like he had seen a ghost. No, it was scarier than seeing a ghost.

Unless forced, Shi Yi would not wake up until noon.

Moreover, the red shirt he was wearing seemed to be new.

The scariest thing was that he had known Shi Yi for more than ten years and this was the first time he saw him in red.

“You’re dressed like this… Are you going to rob the bride?”

“How is it?”

Shi Yi stood up and asked him with a smile.

Yun Ting looked at him for a while. He wanted to say ‘slutty,’ but after thinking for a while, he said tactfully, “Normal.”

“Huh?”

Shi Yi was a little disappointed. “Doesn’t it look good?”

He bought this early in the morning on the street and changed into it. He thought it was quite good!

Yun Ting said calmly, “If you’re going to see a lady, I suggest you change into another set of clothes.”

“Then… what should I change into?”

It was his first time meeting his beloved as an admirer, so he felt a little nervous.

“Any of the clothes you usually wear is better than this.”

In this outfit, Shi Yi looked even more beautiful than a lady.

What if he accidentally caused her to compare with him and this angered her?
