Afterlife Department

Chapter 109 - Karma

"AAAAAAAAH!!!" Ye Tong shrieked as she tried to reach for Jack to claw him with her long nails. Her makeup was messed up because of her tears and her eyes are bloodshot as she murderously glared at Jack. "YOU BASTARD!!!" she yelled.

In contrast to Ye Tong\'s cries, Jack\'s laugh is maddening. "HAHAHAHAHA!!!" he mockingly looked at Ye Tong. "You think my revenge only ends in Zhu Min? HAHAHAHA! I also ended your son!" he told her.

"You bastard! Son of a bitch!" Ye Tong cursed as she tried out of Zhang Bao and Ke Congyi\'s hold. "BASTARD!!!!!" she screamed. "You didn\'t have to humiliate my son!" she said as her chest heaved up and down in anger.

"I don\'t have to, but did he have to towards my sister?" Jack asked as he sharply looked at Ye Tong. "So it\'s fine for him to commit a crime but it\'s not when he has the one committed on?" he said as he gritted his teeth. "I only made him feel how it is to be helpless… powerless! Just like what he did to my sister! An eye for an eye.. A tooth for a tooth! I\'ll end up dead, anyway, so what\'s the matter in adding another crime which your son deserved?!" he yelled. Then, his eyes became emotionless and he coldly smiled at Ye Tong. "Do you want to know what he cried in his helpless situation? \'Mom… help me. Mom… it hurts. Save me – \'!" he told Ye Tong whose face paled.

"Ah Ting… Ah Ting – " Ye Tong called as she fell on her knees in defeat. Her eyes are round as she stared on her reflection on the floor. "Ah Ting…" she cried.

Gu Xingfeng\'s office was filled with Ye Tong\'s cries and Jack\'s mocking laughter. He felt his head ached. "Take him away." He told his subordinates.

"Yes!" the officers immediately took Jack back to his cell while Zhang Bao took Ye Tong to the side when she fainted.

"Sir." Ke Congyi called.

Earlier, they were shocked when they found it was Jack\'s semen inside Ye Ting\'s body. Their primary suspects should he Lu Ming, Xu Ke, Su Lin and Rong Zhe, and Lu Ming would be the likely perpetrator since he is a homosexual. However, Lu Ming is weak and he wouldn\'t overpower Ye Ting.

"I know what you want to say." Gu Xingfeng said as he glanced at the unconscious Ye Tong. "Who freed Jack in his cell, and how can he bypass our CCTVs." He said.

Ke Congyi nodded. "Jacks\' friends may be criminals, but they didn\'t have hacking skills." He said before he paused. "Could it be his hacker friend?" he asked when he remembered the one who released the rape video from Zhu Min\'s phone.

"Tell the technical team to redouble their efforts." Gu Xingfeng frowned.

"Yes, sir." Ke Congyi answered when he suddenly froze. He looked at Gu Xingfeng with widened eyes.

"Yes. Our jail\'s cells aren\'t mechanical. How can a padlock be hacked by a computer?" Gu Xingfeng said.

Ke Congyi\'s expression turned serious. "Is this a premeditated assault against Ye Ting?" he asked.

"No." Gu Xingfeng said as his eyes narrowed. "Jack doesn\'t know Ye Ting, nor he knows Ye Ting is the mastermind. If he did, he would have targeted Ye Ting, too, along with Zhu Ming that day." He said.

"You mean…" Ke Congyi\'s face became grave.

"Someone slipped inside the station and freed Jack, then told him the real mastermind of what happened to his sister, then used Jack to kill Ye Ting." Gu Xingfeng explained.

Ke Congyi pondered about it. "The only ones who would kill Ye Ting are the parents of his victims. However – " he said and looked at Ye Tong.

Ye Tong, after she left the station yesterday, had went to each of Ye Ting\'s victims to silence them using money. She also suppressed the news of Ye Ting\'s crimes. Ye Ting\'s victims are many, and she also had to pay all the media companies. The money she lost is no small amount. However…

"She may have scolded Ye Ting, but she\'s still his mother." Gu Xingfeng said. "What a shame, Ye Ting didn\'t know of his mother\'s real heart when he died." He said.

Ke Congyi sighed. There will always be parents who are awkward to show their feelings to their child. Especially the rich families. "They also have their share of misfortune." He said.

Gu Xingfeng nodded. "Recheck the CCTV recordings again." He told Ke Congyi. "Tell the technical team I\'ll cut off their salary if they won\'t change their report." He said.

Ke Congyi coldly sweat and he saluted. "Yes, sir!" he said and immediately ran outside.

"Xiao Zhang." Gu Xingfeng called.

"Yes?" Zhang Bao answered as he fanned Ye Tong.

"Send her to the hospital to be treated. Have Xiao Le watch her. Let Song Mingfan watch over Zhu Min and her mother. Leave Zhu Min\'s younger brother to the female officers." Gu Xingfeng instructed. "Don\'t let Ye Tong\'s room near Zhu Min\'s." he added.

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Bao answered as he called an ambulance before he carried Ye Tong outside.

Gu Xingfeng tiredly sighed as he pinched the space between his brows. He heard a knock outside. "Come in." he said and smiled. He felt his tiredness was washed away. He knew the way Hao Baiyun knocks on the door.

Hao Baiyun peered inside and saw Gu Xingfeng\'s weary face. He felt his heart ached and he walked towards him to give him a massage. "Jiang Xinduo is still interrogating Xu Ke, Su Lin and Rong Zhe. However, I talked to Lu Ming again." He said. "He said that he felt very sleepy last night but he also felt jittery. He was about to sleep when he heard Ye Ting was laughing alone. He peeked outside and saw Jack was wearing female clothes and a wig." His smile disappeared. "Jack dressed up as Eunice. Then, it happened." He told him.

"Where did Jack get the female clothes and the wig?" Gu Xingfeng asked.

Hao Baiyun shook his head. "Ah Ming said he only saw Jack took out a key and opened Ye Ting\'s cell. The rest…" he didn\'t need to continue. He felt pity for Lu Ming seeing Lu Ming\'s ghastly expression earlier. After all, Lu Ming\'s near Ye Ting\'s cell and he has to hear everything – Jack raping Ye Ting, and Ye Ting\'s death after Jack choked him. "Oh. That\'s right. Ah Ming told me another thing." He said as he looked at Gu Xingfeng\'s perfectly chiseled face and his heart can\'t help but swoon he almost forgotten what he\'s about to tell his husband. "Ah Ming said he smelled something strange and that made him sleepy." He said.

Gu Xingfeng\'s eyes squinted as he planted a kiss on Hao Baiyun\'s lips before he nibbled it. "Do you know I love a smart wife?" he asked.

"Oh~?" Hao Baiyun brightly smiled.

"Because only you I find smart." Gu Xingfeng pulled Hao Baiyun to a hug and kissed him for a long time before they parted and panted. "Xiao Jiang." He called without looking at the closed door.

"… yes, chief." Jiang Xinduo answered from outside.

Hao Baiyun\'s face reddened in shame. There\'s someone outside! He screamed in his mind and he buried his face on Gu Xingfeng\'s chest which vibrated when the man laughed and pinched his perky butt.

"Send Lu Ming, Xu Ke, Rong Zhe and Su Lin to the hospital and have them checked if they were drugged." Gu Xingfeng said. "Have all the keys in the station also checked, including the people who have it." He added.

"Yes!" Jiang Xinduo answered and immediately left.

"Rogue!" Hao Baiyun hit Gu Xingfeng as he pouted.

"I\'m a rogue only towards you." Gu Xingfeng said as he placed Hao Baiyun on his lap, which made Hao Baiyun blushed when he felt Gu Xingfeng\'s hard organ poking the place between his butt. "Shall we?" he asked as he slipped his hands inside Hao Baiyun\'s clothes.

"But – " Hao Baiyun said.

"Xiao Jiang already locked the door from outside and set the \'Do not disturb\' sign." Gu Xingfeng said before he ravished Hao Baiyun\'s lips.

Hao Baiyun was swept away by the current and he immediately responded to Gu Xingfeng\'s kisses.

S City Business Park.

Huo Ling and Yi Bing passed by a newspaper stand and saw the shopkeeper was replacing the newspapers.

"Hm?" Huo Ling saw a familiar name on the headline.

Yi Bing noticed Huo Ling stopped. He turned and looked at the thing that caught Huo Ling\'s attention, only for him to widen his eyes when he saw the name on the headline.

"Ah Ting… is dead?" Huo Ling muttered under his breath as he stared at the newspaper with his eyes round in shock. He turned to Yi Bing who\'s as shocked as him. "How…" he saw when they suddenly heard a conversation near them.

"Karma\'s a bitch, right?" a student passed by.

"Yeah." Her friend said. "He played around with lots of women, he ended up like them in his death!" they said.

Huo Ling sharply turned to them and saw in their phone Ye Ting\'s leaked death photo. "Ah Ting…" he muttered in disbelief and he covered his mouth when he saw Ye Ting\'s ravaged appearance. His neck was dark with handprints.

He felt his eyes moistened and his tears can\'t help but fall.
