Detective Ghost Empress

203 Let her sleep in the cold

Happy Republic Day to everyone in India!

Zhai Tianyu sensed that she was looking at the sword that he was holding in his hands, he looked at her panicked expression and then hesitated for a while, he did not want to let go of the sword. After all, what will he do if she was to jump up and attack him again?

However, Liu Hui Ying did not move from the floor, she simply stared at the sword. What Zhai Tianyu did not know was that Liu Hui Ying has been long unconscious, and the soul that was looking at him was of Liu Yue, the eldest sister of Liu Hui Ying who has been killed by a man. She has been trapped inside Liu Hui Ying’s body because every time she saw a man in her surroundings she would go crazy and then try to kill them.

For years she has been looking for the man who killed her such that she would be able to descend to the heavens after making him suffer, this was the reason why Liu Hui Ying became a detective because she wanted to find the man who killed her sister but the incident happened so many years ago and no one knew what and how it happened, even Liu Yue could not remember the face of that man.

Because of this finding the man who killed her was even more difficult than it was supposed to be, and Liu Yue whose resentment has reached its peak almost went crazy when she saw that there was a man close to her.

Seeing that Zhai Tianyu was still holding the sword, Liu Yue was worried that he will attack her. If he attacked her then what will happen to her little Hui Ying? Will she have to leave her Hui Ying behind? If she left her Hui Ying then this man will kill her sister as well!

” D..Don’t hurt my Hui Ying,” she croaked out as she tried to drag her body in front of Zhai Tianyu even if her body was not moving she was still conscious. ” Don’t hurt my sister.”

Zhai Tianyu heard Liu Yue’s words and paused, he turned to look at the woman who was struggling on the floor and then in a spilt second made his decision before he dropped the sword on his side. He did not know why he was surrendering like this, the fact that this woman has tried to kill him was enough for him to use this matter and kill everyone in the Liu family.

It could be counted as treason and the Liu family will be definitely dragged down with Liu Hui Ying, he would be able to uproot them without doing anything but the thought of Liu Hui Ying being executed ….it did not sit right with him.

.....

But this was what he wanted right? To kill the Liu family? To end the corruption that they have spread all over the place right? Then what was he doing? Why wasn’t he calling the guards to imprison Liu Hui Ying? It was simple he could do it with ease so why wasn’t he doing it?

” Don’t hurt my Xiao Ying!” Liu Yue shrieked as she picked up the jar that was on the floor and threw it at Zhai Tianyu who timely dodged it and moved to the side. He looked at the jar that has been broken and then looked at the woman who was glaring at him with hatred, “Murderer of innocent you will pay for your sin, if you kill my sister today, I will avenge her… I will come after you no matter what even if it means rotting in the eighteenth level of hell.”

Murderer of innocent? Zhai Tianyu swallowed hard at those words, he could bet on his conscience that he hasn’t killed anyone who was innocent other than just one woman but murder was murder …and even if he was to wipe that memory clean from the head of everyone’s head, there was no way he would be able to wipe his sin away.

He did not say anything instead he placed his hands in the air and then solemnly said, ” I do not mean any harm, please rest in ease.”

He did not understand what this woman meant by ‘ Xiao Ying’ but given that her eyes has turned Black and her entire body was covered with a chill that seemed to be emanating through her skin, he knew that this woman was not Liu Hui Ying even though the body belonged to Liu Hui Ying.

Maybe his words worked because the resentment in the eyes of the woman disappeared or maybe it was the fact that the ghost hour that lasted between the early morning around three and four has passed because the next second the woman’s eyes closed and then she slumped on the floor. This time she looked like she was indeed passed out but Zhai Tianyu did not dare to get closer to her instead he waited for a while and only when he was sure that she was not moving did he let out a sigh of relief and then slumped on his seat.

Just now he thought he was going to die and on top of that, there was also a feeling of guilt that he did not think was possible for him to feel.

Zhai Tianyu turned to look at Liu Hui Ying and then raised his hand to rub his throat, his fingers swiped up the blood that was trickling down his throat and then pulled his hand away from his throat before he looked down at the red drops that were sticking to the palm of his hands, he pursed his lips silently and then glared at Liu Hui Ying who was on the floor. He was a fool to think that he had any feelings for this woman…there was no way he was going to have any romantic feelings for a woman like this who knows if she was to lose control she might even kill him when he was sleeping!

With that he harrumphed preparing to leave, this woman almost killed him it was all right for him to leave her here and sleep in the cold!
