Chapter 455: Retribution

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zhao Lan could not help but roll on the sofa, laughing until tears were about to flow.

This was retribution!

Such a situation had befallen Hu Ying. It was really too satisfying.

Not long after, the doorbell rang. The butler opened the door and three men in uniforms appeared outside.

The man in the lead glanced at the butler coldly and asked, “Is Mrs. Ye at home?”

The butler was sweating profusely. He quickly said, “Yes, she is. What can I do for you?”

“We’re from the Metaphysics Management Office. We’re here to investigate the complaints. Please take us to see Mrs. Ye,” the man said coldly.

The butler quickly nodded. “Yes, please follow me.”

He brought the three of them into the hall.

The three people from the management office showed their credentials. He was Zhang Xian, the captain of the fourth team of the second division.

Zhang Xian looked at Zhao Lan and asked, “Did you know that Mrs. Yu was poisoned by a parasitic poison?”

Zhao Lan crossed her arms and said disdainfully, “So what if I know?”

Without evidence, he could not convict her.

Zhao Lan was not afraid at all.

Zhang Xian looked at Zhao Lan coldly and threatened, “If you’re lying and we find out, the punishment will be more severe. I hope you can bear the price.”

He had a feeling that Zhao Lan must be related to the parasitic poison.

Zhao Lan maintained her smile. “Oh? Then you’re saying that I’m lying, but I’m not lying. I’m the most law-abiding person. If you don’t believe me, you can investigate.”

Zhang Xian’s sinister gaze lingered on Zhao Lan’s face for a while.

He gestured to his men.

Two of his subordinates immediately walked forward and said, “Mrs. Ye, please hand over your phone. We want to check it. Please cooperate with us.”

Zhao Lan reluctantly took out her phone from her pocket.

She said worriedly, “Don’t look at my conversation with my husband. That’s my privacy.”

The team members did not speak. After letting Zhao Lan unlock it, they began to search for chat records and money transfer evidence.

However, after searching for half an hour, the two team members did not find any useful clues. There was no evidence that Zhao Lan had any contact with the Southwest Black Magic King.

The team members looked at Zhang Xian and shook their heads slightly.

Zhang Xian gritted his teeth, unwilling to give up.

This was a good opportunity to curry favor with the Yu family. If he found the person who planted the poison, he could ask the Yu family for credit.

Zhao Lan coughed and frowned. “Why aren’t you leaving when you haven’t found evidence? What are you doing here? If you don’t leave, I’m going to call the police. Let’s see if the police can control you.”

The three of them had no choice but to leave.

After the three of them left, Zhao Lan heaved a sigh of relief and lay on the sofa to stretch comfortably.

These people from the management office were not very smart!

Ever since she knew that something had happened to Hu Ying, she had guessed that someone would come to check on her, so she had already made arrangements.

She and the Southwest Black Magic King used backup phones to chat.

The transfer records were also on the backup phone.

Zhao Lan walked into the room and took out the spare phone from the mattress. She found the number of the Southwest Black Magic King and called him.

However, his phone was switched off.

This made Zhao Lan a little flustered.

She stood in the room and walked quickly a few times, her brows furrowed.

If the Southwest Black Magic King was captured and she was exposed, wouldn’t it be over?

Zhao Lan thought for a moment and sent a message to the Black Magic King. “Be careful during this period of time. The Metaphysics Management Office is investigating Hu Ying’s case. Be careful not to get caught.”

After sending it, she felt a little safer.

However, after waiting for half an hour, she called him again and found that his phone was still switched off. Zhao Lan could not sit still.

She used the backup phone to call another mysterious number.

After the call went through, Zhao Lan cried, “Darling, I called the Black Magic King, but his phone was switched off. Could something have happened?”

The man’s voice was low. “Dear, don’t worry. I’ll go and investigate now. I’ll call you back later, okay?”

“Okay,” Zhao Lan replied pitifully.

The man immediately asked his subordinates to investigate. In the end, he found that the Black Magic King had indeed been captured by the management office.

He called Zhao Lan back.

Zhao Lan immediately picked up the phone and asked anxiously, “Darling, how’s the situation? Has the Black Magic King really been captured?”

The man said coldly, “He was captured and locked up in the prison of the Metaphysics Management Office. Yu Su was the one who helped catch him.” “What should I do? I don’t want to be caught!”

Zhao Lan was so frightened that her soul almost left her body as she said with a trembling voice..
