Chapter 6

I shook my head and let out a sigh.

"Traffic means nothing to me. I just want to save your life."

"Your grandma has been dead for seven days. Although there is a layer of skin covering her body, there will be a faint smell of a corpse. She needs to use perfume to cover it up. Has your grandma suddenly started wearing perfume these days?"

Zhou Sheng's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped at a straw.

"Hahaha, you've messed up again! My grandma doesn't wear perfume at all. She lights agarwood instead. She—"

"Gulp."

The smile on Zhou Sheng's face faded, and he nervously swallowed his saliva.

"She has had a headache every day since she came back from our hometown. She can only fall asleep with agarwood burning."

I keenly grasped the key point.

"Hometown? Where is it? Did she go there seven days ago?"

The barrage scrolled by rapidly.

"The Zhou family went back to their hometown to offer sacrifices to their ancestors last week and donated 20 million yuan to the local welfare institute. Didn't this make the news?"

"Yeah, it was trending for a few days. You can easily find it by searching online."

"Did the anchor come up with this deception after reading that news?"

"It doesn't seem like she's lying. Then how do you explain the agarwood?"

"Don't rich people all like to play with incense? What's so strange about that? All I can say is that the anchor guessed right. The more I look at today's situation, the more it seems like a pig - butchering scam!"

Zhou Sheng looked at the words flashing by on the barrage. He felt ashamed for almost believing me just now, and that shame turned into anger. He let out a cold snort and glared at me through the camera.

"Did you plan all this today?"

"I didn't plan shit for your mother!"

I also got angry and looked at Zhou Sheng with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.

"Didn't you initiate the live connection yourself today?"

"Zhou Sheng, I'll give you one last chance. The lives of your whole family are in your hands."

"After a person dies, the pupils will dilate and become larger and won't react to light. You can shine a flashlight on your grandma's eyes and you'll know."
