In the sky, fireworks bloomed, reflecting the laughter and joy from the Gu Garden in the distance.

In the back seat, a jade hung on Shangguan Wanwan’s waist, covered with cracks. It suddenly shattered into fine powder with the exploding sound of fireworks outside the car window.

And her whole essence seemed to be drained instantly, collapsing into a heap, her eyes like the dried-up eyes of a dead fish.

Only her lips, covered in dead skin, still moved with difficulty:

"Yin Hu, haha, do you really think that the only ones who defy morals are Gu Yuzhi and Gu Qiusha?"

"Xi Zuzi and Bao Gucheng... this so-called teacher and student are not much better. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time to expose their true faces..."

"But it doesn’t matter, Xi Zuzi, she is definitely like me, someone who possesses a body by borrowing a corpse. I curse her and Bao Gucheng will meet a bad end... her fate will be worse than mine..."

The dead fish eyes were shaded with a sinister, poisonous smile, gradually turning gray and rigid.

No more sound.

Yin Hu was startled, hastily asking: "Gu Shiyin, what do you mean? What do you know about Mr. Bo and Xu Zuzi? What have you secretly planned that’s scandalous?"

He was worried that Shangguan Wanwan still hid something that could harm Bao Gucheng and Xi Zuzi.

But the other party could no longer answer.

He covered his nose, only feeling the thick smell of decay filling the car...

＝＝

Gu Garden.

Xi Rubao bounced over to the peach tree, interrupting the world of two that Xi Zuzi and Bao Gucheng were sharing, just about to announce good news.

Bao Gucheng’s phone rang first.

He gestured for Xi Rubao to wait and answered on speaker: "The person is being escorted to the police station?"

Yin Hu’s voice was slightly heavy on the other end, somewhat annoyed: "She died halfway. Didn’t have time for her to be imprisoned a second time. But Mr. Bo, I feel something strange..."

"Tell me."

"Her body seems like it’s been dead for a long time, unbearably smelly. Even the forensic doctor said they’ve never seen such a situation... the internal organs were all decayed."

"Have you verified the identity?"

"Yes, fingerprints and genetic sequences all match Shangguan Wanwan. If I hadn’t personally escorted her all the way, I would have suspected she was swapped out. But fortunately, she’s really dead this time, I confirm with my own eyes."

"Understood." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

After hanging up, Bao Gucheng’s expression remained calm, not as shocked as Yin Hu.

Xi Rubao, who heard the phone conversation the whole time, shivered, clutching Xi Zuzi’s hand tightly:

"Sister, the Jade Ruler and delicious chopsticks told me, they truly sensed the aura of Gu Shiyin on Shangguan Wanwan. Just now when Shangguan Wanwan perished, they clearly felt the souls were liberated, no longer needing to be controlled to deceive and absorb the essence of humans!"

"So, sister, do you think, could Gu Shiyin really be possessing a body by borrowing a corpse, not having died in prison, and instead unjustly causing Shangguan Wanwan, who was abroad, to die and take over her body? This is too vicious!"

"And this layout with this person’s skin disguise definitely wasn’t arranged overnight, she’s simply the most terrifyingly scheming woman I’ve ever seen!"

Xi Zuzi neither admitted nor denied, stroking her hair, smiling faintly: "Bao Er, what happy news were you just about to announce?"

Worried Xi Rubao, reminded by her, finally returned to smiling:

"Right right, almost forgot, sister and brother-in-law, the good news is, mommy has really decided to get married to uncle at the end of the month, just announced it earlier!"

"She’ll use the wedding banquet plan in the banquet hall of the Empire Building that Mr. Bo sent, planning to hold it low-key with only twenty tables, and just now everyone was eager to join."

"Brother-in-law and you must attend too. The key is... Ancestor Sister must catch the bouquet mommy throws!"

Such a coincidence, the wedding day Xiao Sha chose is the same day as Xiao Chenger’s birthday?

Xi Zuzi raised her delicate eyebrows slightly: "Why catch the bouquet?"
