When Xie Ling and Lu Qichuan were about to go to sleep, Lu Qichuan received an urgent phone call. He quickly changed into his clothes and left.
As she lay in bed, Xie Ling's heart was pounding wildly, as though a major incident was about to occur.
In the midst of her tossing and turning, she received a call from Wu Lan.
A flicker of disappointment flashed through Xie Ling's eyes— it seemed this fool hadn't acted.
If she had acted, given Qiao Ran's personality, even at the cost of her own life, she would drag Wu Lan down with her, accompanying her on the path to the Netherworld.
Xie Ling silenced her phone and decided not to answer. Once the call automatically hung up, Wu Lan called again.
Xie Ling's eyes were filled with disgust, but in the end, she answered the phone.
"Sister-in-law, why are you still up so late?"
"Elder sister, I… I killed Qiao Ran!"
On the other end, Wu Lan's trembling voice dripped with fear.
Xie Ling sat up in bed suddenly. "What did you just say?"
