My Ex-Husband Is Proposing Again-Chapter 1137: Ye Si Appears (7)

How deep is love, how intense is hatred.

By hatred born from love, Cao Shiyu had made up her mind to kill Ye Qilan to commemorate her tragic love. She was not at fault; it was Ye Qilan who had provoked her and then abandoned her, causing her life to be so miserable.

Cao Shiyu felt the living room was also very eerie. She sat alone for a long time, and eventually fetched a bottle of red wine, hoping not only to bolster her courage but also to fall asleep from drunkenness, so she wouldn’t be paranoid, always suspecting that Ye Qilan might suddenly jump out from the darkness.

Eventually, she drank too much, became drowsy, and fell into a deep sleep on the sofa.

She suddenly woke up due to an unusual noise.

Only a dim wall lamp was left on in the living room. The winds at night cast long, lurking shadows in the otherwise silent night, making it exceptionally sinister and ghostly.

Cao Shiyu unconsciously clutched the blanket tighter. She felt as if shadows from all directions were lurking, ready to pounce on her. Especially the flickering shadows, they seemed like someone hanging from the ceiling...

At that moment, she felt liquid dripping onto the top of her head. Assuming it was water, she felt it with her hand. Upon seeing her palm stained with fresh red blood, she stiffened completely, daring not to move.

She suddenly realized the shadow flickering before her actually resembled a person.

It wasn’t until she mustered up the courage to look up that she screamed in horror upon clearly seeing a person hanging above...

In the dead of night, Cao Shiyu’s shrill scream jolted everyone awake. Everyone hurried to the living room, and upon seeing a man’s corpse hanging from the living room ceiling, they were all stunned.

Ye Ling, who was the most fearful, hid behind Xia Yu, "Mom, that must be a mannequin, right?"

But it looked terrifyingly real, much like an actual corpse.

It was Ye’s elder who remained calm. After the initial shock, he had the area cordoned off, then called the police to deal with the matter.

With an unidentified male corpse appearing in Qingmu Garden and many witnesses around, it was impossible to conceal. They had no choice but to call the police. Should this be another trap set by Su Hongxing, they needed to be even more cautious.

After an initial examination, the forensic doctor said, "The deceased died around 1 a.m., about three hours ago from now. This isn’t the crime scene. Does anyone recognize the deceased?"

Members of the Ye Family distanced themselves, indicating they did not recognize him.

Cao Shiyu peeked at the corpse, and her heart shuddered the moment she clearly saw the face.

She actually recognized this person.

He was one of Liu Yuan’s assistants who had been tasked with bringing meals to Su Hongxing after she was abducted.

And he had also been involved in the abduction of Su Hongxing.

Before Ye Qilan’s death, this man had also participated in forcing Ye Qilan and Su Hongxing into the icehouse. She never expected that tonight this man would end up dead in front of her.

At this point, the forensic doctor looked towards Cao Shiyu and asked, "Miss Cao, do you recognize the deceased?"

Cao Shiyu averted her gaze, suppressing the fear inside her, and replied in a hoarse voice, "I don’t recognize him."

The forensic doctor glanced at Cao Shiyu a few more times and joined the police in inspecting the scene where the corpse was found. They stayed until dawn, ensuring nothing was overlooked, then the forensic doctor and police left Qingmu Garden with the corpse.

Cao Shiyu returned to her bedroom with trembling legs. Suddenly, she felt that the ghost of Ye Qilan had come seeking revenge.

Su Hongxing couldn’t possibly have had the capability to silently kill someone and position the body right above her head.
