What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book Chapter 195

Other possibilities might involve analysis and deduction, but using associative links to manipulate others is purely speculative without any evidence.

And the speculation is wrong. Cai Zhijian isn’t manipulating others like a puppeteer; he is making others perform actions similar to his own.

Chu Ge actually felt quite embarrassed and thought Qiu Wuji was laughing at him, so he added, “Suspecting you is just my imagination, without any evidence. But what I can be certain of is that if it’s you, the incident would definitely happen while Old Zhu is in the hospital.”

Cai Zhijian asked coldly, “Why?”

“Now is the best opportunity. Old Zhu’s mental state is already fragile, making it easy to mislead the police and doctors into believing it’s a result of mental problems. If something happened when he wasn’t injured, the police would thoroughly investigate people around him. Lin Wuyang’s ability to make people speak the truth isn’t a secret anymore, so he might reveal something incriminating.”

Cai Zhijian sneered, “His injuries won’t heal in just a few days. Are you implying you’ve been sitting next to me every day, even following me to the restroom?”

“We and Du Lianfeng are involved in this. It may lead the police to believe that there’s an influence of supernatural abilities rather than a mental issue, which means you need another scapegoat. Du Lianfeng’s group will be on a plane around seven o’clock… Taking advantage of this time, you can frame them for the murder and escape on the plane. It’s the best way to mislead the investigation. After this opportunity passes, there won’t be such a convenient scapegoat.”

Cai Zhijian remained silent for a moment, “Impressive. I just subconsciously thought this was the last chance, but I didn’t expect this…”

Zhu Mengmeng looked at Cai Zhijian incredulously, her hands tightly gripping the edge of the bed, trembling.

Cai Zhijian sighed heavily, “Chu Ge, why bother? I haven’t treated you badly, have I? As you said, I’ve been kind to you… We could have cooperated very well. Don’t you really want the copyright adaptation?”

“I do, I dream about it, ” Chu Ge said slowly, “But I want to do it with a clear conscience, even if it means I can never have the adaptation it in this lifetime.”

Cai Zhijian said coldly, “You’re such a smart person, yet you have such a foolish insistence… A clear conscience? Heh…”

“Cai! Zhi! Jian!” Zhu Mengmeng suddenly erupted in anger and jumped up, interrupting him. “What have we done to deserve this from you! Is it just for that mine? As long as we live a good life, the mine should have been yours from the beginning!”

“And now you want to sell it, right?”

“You’ve already…”

Cai Zhijian interrupted nonchalantly, “We got married, and yet he still didn’t trust me with it, even though he had no male heirs. I knew back then that as long as he was alive, it would still belong to him. Waiting for it to become mine, who knows how long that would take.”

Zhu Mengmeng couldn’t believe it, “So you didn’t have the heart to live a life with me and started playing around?”

“I’m not really into fooling around,” Cai Zhijian said, “I did it to dispel his suspicions, to make him believe I wasn’t interested in your family’s assets. He also knows that even the film company was built by him for me. Why did he choose a film company? The entertainment world, you see. It was a test, but an interesting one. I’m not sure if he wanted to see me play or not.”

Zhu Mengmeng looked at her father. Old Zhu, who had been manipulated like a puppet, was now quietly leaning against the bed, his gaze somewhat profound, “I was testing you, but as Mengmeng’s father, of course, I hope you wouldn’t play around. Unfortunately, your dark thoughts led you to a completely opposite path. You actually thought playing around would dispel my suspicions… To be honest, I’m only now aware that you could think that way, ha… Even if I don’t like my son-in-law, what kind of suspicion could I possibly have?”

He shook his head with a deep sigh, “The difference in thoughts between people is even greater than the difference between humans and dogs.”

Cai Zhijian remained indifferent, “It doesn’t matter, in any case, no matter what I do, you wouldn’t hand over the mine to me.”

Old Zhu asked, “Is it because of the mine’s spiritual energy, or is it because of its industrial value?”

“Both,” Cai Zhijian replied flatly, “I am also an ability user, and I also want to get more spiritual energy… It’s ridiculous that you are sitting on such a treasure, yet you didn’t bother to investigate it properly. You treat it like an ordinary purple clay mine and make teapots out of it to sell, it’s simply laughable.”

“The laughable one is you,” Old Zhu said slowly, “That mine actually doesn’t have any so-called source of spiritual energy; the spiritual energy is gradually dissipating. In a few years, there won’t be any left.”

Cai Zhijian’s expression finally changed.

He had been standing here talking for so long, not just for chitchat. He was trying to control the connections with everyone around him and seize the opportunity to escape.

At this moment, he suddenly rushed outward, and everyone in the room, including Old Zhu and his daughter, as well as the bodyguards blocking the door, all fell down along his escape route, like a field of wheat cut down.

Cai Zhijian took the opportunity to squeeze out and fled.

However, Chu Ge and Qiu Wuji remained motionless, coldly watching him run away. Suddenly, Chu Ge blocked the hallway with a flash.

Cai Zhijian gritted his teeth and pressed against the window sill next to the hallway, about to jump outside directly. But suddenly, he staggered strangely. His whole body slammed against the window sill, and the tremendous inertia almost caused him to crash straight through the window.

What was going on?

Cai Zhijian looked back in horror and saw Zhu Mengmeng jumping up like crazy, waving her arms and legs wildly in front of everyone, crying and cursing, “You dare to mess with other people’s connections! You dare to! I’ll cut them all! I’ll cut all your connections, wuwuwu!”

It was like playing tug-of-war with someone and suddenly having the rope cut, naturally, he would fall forward… Others couldn’t see these connections, so they couldn’t affect them. But his wife could. Not only could she see them, but she could also cut them.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Chu Ge’s mind… These two naturally counter each other, right? One controls the connections, and the other cuts them…

As he thought about it, he suddenly felt something strange. He realized that he didn’t seem to recognize Cai Zhijian anymore… Who the hell is this guy, and why am I blocking him?

Even Cai Zhijian’s figure began to blur.

Chu Ge’s heart skipped a beat. Before he could figure out a reason, Qiu Wuji had already swiftly stopped Zhu Mengmeng, “Mengmeng, stop it, you might kill him!”

Zhu Mengmeng gasped and cried, “How could cutting a few connections kill him? It would be great if I really could kill him!”

Qiu Wuji looked at Zhu Mengmeng’s hand with some astonishment and said in a low voice, “If you keep cutting, all his connections in this world will be severed, and he will become a non-existent person… I’m not sure if this will lead to actual death, but it might lead to social death, where all acquaintances forget about him, and there’s no memory of his existence.”

Zhu Mengmeng seemed to forget about crying and stared blankly at her own hand.

“If we delve into a more mystical explanation… Mengmeng, what you’re doing is severing cause and effect,” Qiu Wuji said in a slightly shaken tone, “This is the power of immortals and gods.”

Zhu Mengmeng’s lips moved slightly, murmuring, “Then… let’s forget about it…”

Chu Ge picked up his phone and said, “Wuyang, this is an enthusiastic citizen calling the poice…”

Lin Wuyang replied, “Fuck, I finally got a break! Why should I be bothered with this!”

Chu Ge sighed, contemplating the puppet show and severed cause and effect of this couple, “Don’t take a break. This incident will definitely make it worthwhile.”
