Chapter 189: Your Wife Wants to Kill You
The netizen who successfully connected was named Chen Sheng, one of the country’s most famous wealthy men.
The man wore a suit, a Rolex on his wrist, and his hair was slicked back. He was slightly heavyset, the very picture of wealth.
Seeing the man, the netizens in the livestream chat exploded:
[AHHHH! That’s Chen Sheng! He’s a super-famous rich guy from Jiang City! His glass factory made him hundreds of millions! I’m so jealous I could die!]
[Chen Sheng, I’ve been in love with you for ages! Will you marry me?]
[Fuck, piss off! You think you deserve a life like that? *I* should be the one to marry Chen Sheng and live that life!]
[Holy shit, I’ve had enough. Can you two have some self-respect? You’re a disgrace to women everywhere!]
[Right, right, they must be catfishing. They don’t represent all of us women!]
Chen Sheng waved his hand and said, "Looks like you all know who I am, so I’ll skip the self-introduction! Host, the reason I called in today is to ask for a reading. When will I be able to have a child?"
Shen Zhiyao cut straight to the point. "You’re about to die, and you’re still thinking about children? The woman you married is a snake. How is she supposed to give you a child? You do have a daughter, though. She’s a teenager, but you just never knew about it."
Chen Sheng was completely stunned. "Host, what are you talking about?"
Shen Zhiyao replied, "You just came from a bar, didn’t you? Planning to pick a fight with your wife? Last time you came home, there was a man in your house. Your wife told you he was her cousin, but you never knew she had a cousin, right?"
Chen Sheng quickly replied, "Right!"
Shen Zhiyao said grimly, "More importantly, if he really were her cousin, why wouldn’t he have said hello? If you go home today and fight with your wife over this, you will die. Because your suspicions are correct—that man is your wife’s lover. When you start fighting with her today, he will jump out and ambush you. They’ll kill you, then stage the scene to look like a robbery-homicide."
Chen Sheng froze, his face growing pale and his hands starting to tremble.
All these years, she was the only woman who had ever truly captured his heart. She was supposed to be a virtuous wife and loving mother!
’How could this be?’
As Chen Sheng tried to compose himself, Shen Zhiyao continued, talking about his dog. "Did your German Shepherd die half a month ago?"
"Yes!" Chen Sheng answered, dazed. Then, as a realization dawned on him, his eyes widened and he asked, "Don’t tell me it didn’t die of an illness?"
Shen Zhiyao confirmed it. "Your wife has been poisoning you. She wanted to use a slow-acting poison to kill you bit by bit, but she used too much and ended up poisoning the dog instead. She was using the dog to test the poison, planning to make it look like it died of an illness. If she had succeeded, she would have used it on you, and you would have slowly gotten sick and died. Because of what happened to the dog, she realized the risk was too great and put the plan on hold. Recently, she and her lover have been discussing a more foolproof way to kill you."
Chen Sheng’s body went limp. He took a deep breath, leaned back for a moment, then sat up straight again.
He asked, "Host, who is this man? Do I know him?"
Shen Zhiyao answered, "He’s an intern at your company. One time, when you were busy, your wife told you the toilet was clogged. You sent him over to help, and it was love at first sight. They’ve been together ever since."
Chen Sheng shot upright. "That was five years ago!"
Shen Zhiyao nodded lightly. "They’ve been together for five years. For these past five years, that man has been living in your house, wearing your clothes, and using your things!"
Chen Sheng’s voice cracked. "What!"
It wasn’t just Chen Sheng; even the netizens in the livestream were in shock:
[Holy shit! Holy shit! Does this woman’s heart change that easily?]
[Damn it, she’s not just cheating on her husband, she’s doing it right under his nose! And what’s worse, the lover is wearing his clothes, eating his food, and using his stuff!]
[No man could ever stand for this!]
[Doesn’t this mean Chen Sheng basically put the moves on his own wife’s affair partner? After all, he’s the one who introduced the intern to her!]
Shen Zhiyao continued, "When you’re home, he hides in your attic. When you’re not home, he’s the man of the house. The two of them live like a married couple!"
"Enough!" Chen Sheng couldn’t take it anymore and roared at Shen Zhiyao. He then forced his anger down and apologized, "Host, I’m sorry. I wasn’t yelling at you."
"It’s fine." Shen Zhiyao was unconcerned.
Chen Sheng pulled out a phone and made a call. "Xiao Chen, get a big group of guys and head to my house. Hurry, we’ve got a burglar."
Putting the phone down, he asked Shen Zhiyao again, "Host, do you know all the details of their relationship?"
"I’d have to see their faces. It’s a bit unclear just by looking at you."
"Can I keep the stream connected and drive home right now?"
"Fine."
After getting Shen Zhiyao’s confirmation, Chen Sheng slammed on the accelerator and sped toward home.
「Twenty minutes later.」
Chen Sheng parked his car in an upscale residential complex.
He didn’t park in his own designated spot, but in a public one instead.
As soon as he got out of the car, several burly men surrounded him. Their leader, Xiao Chen, asked, "Boss, the guys are all here! What’s the situation?"
Chen Sheng instructed Xiao Chen, "Have the guys watch my house. If any strangers come running out, grab them immediately!"
"Got it!"
Then, Chen Sheng led the group of men toward his home.
Soon, the group arrived at his front door.
His wife—beautiful, voluptuous, and gentle-looking—came to greet him. "Honey, you’re back! You must be tired from work!"
Her voice was gentle and filled with earnest concern, her words carrying a soft Japanese accent.
With a dark expression, Chen Sheng walked in, ignoring his wife. He said directly to Xiao Chen, "Go up to the attic. See if he’s there!"
"Right!" Xiao Chen led a few of his men and immediately headed upstairs.
Chen Sheng’s wife was at a loss. "Honey, what’s wrong?"
Chen Sheng glared at his wife and roared, "How have I treated you?"
Chen Sheng’s wife furrowed her brow slightly. "Very well!"
From her expression, she looked completely innocent.
Chen Sheng picked up a nearby hammer and sat on the sofa. He tapped the hammer lightly on the floor as he asked in a grim voice, "Very well? Then why are you trying to kill me and cheat on me?"
At that moment, he placed his phone on the sofa.
The livestream’s picture finally stopped shaking, but the viewers could only see the ceiling, leaving them stomping their feet in frustration.
His wife, who had hurried after him, said pitifully, "Honey, you’re my everything. How could I possibly want to kill you? We’re two parts of a whole! Is there some misunderstanding?"
Chen Sheng asked, "How did the dog die?"
"From an illness..." his wife answered timidly.
"An illness? Then why did you have the pet shop cremate it before I even got back?"
"I wasn’t thinking straight at the time, so I just had it cremated," Chen Sheng’s wife answered earnestly, her expression betraying nothing.
Chen Sheng snorted coldly and rolled his eyes at his wife.
Just then, Chen Sheng’s wife suddenly burst into tears, perching pitifully on the edge of the sofa. "I get it! I crossed an ocean to marry you, and this is how you repay me, with false accusations! So the reason I married so far from home was just to make it easier for you to bully me... Waaaah... I don’t want to live anymore!"
