I became a civil servant in the underworld and became an internet sensation in both the mortal and s

Chapter 82 I am an accomplice too!

Who is she?
Why at a construction site?

I'm still standing in that spot!
Why are her eyes so sad?

It was so sad that even Zhou Ping'an felt a pang of heartache just looking at it.

Some even couldn't help but want to go up and comfort them.

The woman in front of him gave Zhou Ping'an a very familiar and warm feeling, as if the two of them had been close friends a long time ago.

Why is this happening?

Suddenly, a man ran towards the woman, shouting as he ran.

When Zhou Ping'an saw the person clearly, a fierce look suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Zhou Shun inexplicably felt that the temperature around him seemed to have dropped a few degrees.

“Yuan Yuan…”

At this moment, the person rushing towards Hu Yuanyuan was none other than Zhang Hengquan, who had discovered his wife was missing and was searching everywhere for her.

Seeing his wife in the distance, Zhang Hengquan was overjoyed, but when he saw clearly where she was standing, he seemed to realize something and was startled.

He quickened his pace, pulled his wife away, and moved her to a more distant place.

"Yuan Yuan, that place is dangerous, you mustn't go there."

“This is a construction site, it’s not very safe. I’m very worried about you running out like this.”

Hu Yuanyuan was stunned. It seemed that after being pulled away from that place, the despair and sadness in her heart had lessened considerably.

Hearing her husband's worried words, she felt apologetic in her eyes, "I'm sorry..."

"Why don't we go back now?"

"Ah."

Zhou Ping'an watched as Zhang Hengquan led the woman away.

So, that was Zhang Hengquan's wife.

How could she be Zhang Hengquan's wife?!
Also, Zhang Hengquan seems to love his wife very much?

Hmph, does a devil like Zhang Hengquan even understand love?
……

Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

This also means that Xu Qingling wants to go to the construction site of Chengze Building to do something.

The workers at the construction site remained on strike, and were naturally instructed to be taken outside.

When Xu Qingling arrived, Zhang Hengquan was already there, and even the things for the ritual had been prepared.

This time, Xu Qingling brought Sasha with her.

Zhang Hengquan arrived with his assistant and bodyguards. Even though he usually kept his emotions hidden, there was still a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Because a week has passed.

Master Xu said at the time that he would be able to see Xiaoze again in a week.

No one knows how difficult this past week has been for Zhang Hengquan.

He trusted Xu Qingling and almost told his wife that he would soon be able to see his son.

But he still held back.

Let's wait until we meet Xiaoze, then I'll personally take him to see Yuanyuan.

Give Yuan Yuan a big surprise.

Not only Zhang Hengquan, but Zhou Shun was also waiting for this day to arrive.

That was also the day Xu Qingling promised him, the day she would find Zhou Ping'an.

At this time, Zhou Ping'an was still by his father's side.

He noticed that his father was particularly restless today.

Today, the workers were arranged to go to the bathhouse to relax. Seeing the crowd of people in the bathhouse, Zhou Shun did not go down with them, but got up and left.

Zhou Ping'an knew where his father was going.

My father's intuition has always been sharp.

But as soon as he stepped out, someone grabbed him.

The person who grabbed him was none other than Li Xiang.

"Where are you going? Come on, let's take a bath together."

Zhou Shun wasn't swayed by his pull; instead, he shook his head, trying to pry his hand away, determined to leave. Li Xiang seemed to realize something and asked with certainty, "You're not going to the construction site, are you?"

Zhou Shun was stunned.

"I knew it, Zhou Shun, please listen to my advice and don't go."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Xiang finished speaking, Zhou Shun suddenly knelt down in front of him.

"What are you doing? Get up."

Zhou Shun remained kneeling, gesturing with his hands.

Why did you stop me from going to the construction site?

You must know about Ping An, right? Tell me.

Please tell me, I beg you, since I saved your life.

His safety is more important than my own life; I can't let him die without knowing why.

Tears streamed down Zhou Shun's face, his eyes filled with pleading and sorrow.

Where Zhou Shun and Li Xiang couldn't see, Zhou Ping'an was stunned.

Yes, Dad is such a smart man, how could he not have guessed that he was already dead?

After understanding the meaning behind Zhou Shun's gesture, Li Xiang was initially shocked, then closed his eyes, seemingly struggling with what decision to make.

When he opened his eyes again, they were filled with sadness.

He muttered, "Forget it, forget it. It's better to be a wise man than a fool."

"Perhaps if it were me, I would have made the same choice as you."

“I shouldn’t have accepted that money against my conscience, but I had no choice, Zhou Shun, I had no choice. My daughter needs that money for surgery. My daughter, she is my life…”

“Zhou Shun, the one who should kneel down is me, not you.”

……

Xu Qingling's arrival at the construction site seemed to bring everything to a quieter state.

They seemed to be quietly waiting for Xu Qingling, the goddess of the underworld, to make her arrangements.

"Master Xu, shall we begin?" Zhang Hengquan asked.

Xu Qingling said calmly, "No rush, let's continue waiting."

Wait? Wait for what? Wait for the right time? Zhang Hengquan pondered to himself.

Zhang Hengquan was somewhat anxious; he was eager to see his son, Xiaoze.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Qingling suddenly looked up and said softly, "They're here."

Zhang Hengquan was puzzled. They've arrived? What's arrived?
Just then, a deafening siren suddenly blared outside.

Almost instantly upon hearing this, Zhang Hengquan's eyes suddenly sharpened.

As someone whose hands are stained with blood, I am always particularly sensitive to the sound of police sirens.

Several police cars arrived at the construction site at once, and armed police officers rushed into the site.

Xu Qingling looked up and saw the person in the lead—Bian Dong.

It was the very person she was waiting for.

Bian Dong and Xu Qingling exchanged a glance, nodded, and then walked towards Zhang Hengquan.

"Zhang Hengquan, we are from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. We suspect that you conspired with the deceased Qian Yong to murder Zhan Bingjun, Liang Zhonghe, Ma Jiansen, and Zhou Ping'an. Please come with us to the station for investigation."

When Qian Yong and the other four names that were somewhat familiar but not well-known appeared, Zhang Hengquan's pupils contracted slightly.

However, he maintained a calm expression on his face.

He even laughed and said, "Officer, are you kidding me? Do you have any witnesses or physical evidence to support your claim?"

"I am the witness!" a voice suddenly rang out from outside the construction site.

Then, two people walked in.

The two men were none other than Zhou Shun and Li Xiang.

The person who just spoke was none other than Li Xiang.

Zhang Hengquan stared at Li Xiang, his face suddenly brightening, and his eyes narrowing.

“I can testify that it was Zhang Hengquan and Qian Yong who conspired to kill those four people. I also know where those dead people are buried.”

“I…I am guilty too.” Li Xiang knelt down slowly, tears streaming down his face. “I am an accomplice as well.”
