Now, as long as Li Zhiyan is by her side,
Zhao Shumin feels an extraordinary sense of security, so even though Zhao Hai is sitting on the sofa, it doesn’t an much.
Zhao Hai is sitting on the sofa, at this mont carrying crushed powder from sleeping pills in his pocket.
When Shang Yunsheng first sought him out, he initially refused.
But lately, Zhao Hai has been struggling financially. Renting this place has nearly exhausted the money he saved while working odd jobs before.
His girlfriend doesn’t work either, and the two of them are living idly together in the rental room every day.
Recently, she even expressed the desire to get a butterfly tattoo.
Zhao Hai supports the idea, but being broke has made him incredibly miserable.
He was even considering taking out an online loan, but unexpectedly, Shang Yunsheng found him.
He promised him 20,000 yuan for sothing incredibly simple: just to drug his roommate Zhao Shumin with sleeping pills and bring her back ho.
At first, Zhao Hai refused, but he couldn’t resist the temptation of the 20,000 yuan in the end.
He figured, since the two of them were once married, after so interaction, they might reconcile—so it didn’t seem like much of a problem.
Moreover, he couldn’t ignore the thoughts in his heart. If Zhao Shumin were deeply asleep, would he get the chance to enjoy himself first?
And then let Shang Yunsheng in after?
Whatever happened, the ultimate responsibility would still fall on Shang Yunsheng.
Thinking this, he fird up his resolve.
After a while, Zhao Shumin turned off the stove, covered the pot with a lid, and headed to the bathroom.
Zhao Hai thought perhaps it would take a few days to find an opening, but unexpectedly, the opportunity arose so quickly.
He quickly rushed into the kitchen, poured the sleeping pills into the pot, stirred a few ladles, and sped back to his room.
He could already see the 20,000 yuan in his grasp.
When Zhao Shumin erged from the bathroom after washing her hands, seeing that Zhao Hai was no longer in the living room made her feel sowhat relieved. By then, Li Zhiyan had joined Zhao Shumin in the kitchen.
"Aunt Zhao, stop cooking. Call the police."
"What happened?"
Zhao Shumin instinctively tightened up. Too many things had been happening lately—the appearance of Shang Yunsheng, the betrayal by her own son.
All of it had made Zhao Shumin incredibly sensitive.
"Aunt Zhao, I just saw Zhao Hai put sothing into the pot in the kitchen."
"I think it could be poison. We should call the police right away."
"I have a cara set up in the kitchen."
"Okay."
Zhao Shumin knew that Li Zhiyan had installed the cara to protect her.
After all, given the current situation, there was no telling what Shang Yunsheng might do.
Soon after, Zhao Shumin dialed the police.
...
In his room, Zhao Hai watched his girlfriend sleeping peacefully and couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
It should be almost ti, right? Zhao Shumin and that young man seed to always eat together—if the two of them did eat together,
he’d still have to go through the trouble of carrying Zhao Shumin back to her room.
But thinking about the possibility of enjoying himself first, his anticipation grew rapidly.
After ten or so minutes, Zhao Hai suddenly heard a knock at the door.
The sound struck him as odd—could it be Shang Yunsheng? Had he co too impatiently? He hadn’t even notified him yet. Curiously, Zhao Hai peeked out to see what was happening.
Instead, he saw Li Zhiyan speaking with several police officers.
"Officers, he poisoned the food. Here’s the video."
Li Zhiyan played the footage playback for the officers. The police approached Zhao Hai directly.
"Hello, please co with us to the police station to assist in the investigation."
Zhao Hai’s face turned pale. He couldn’t comprehend how Li Zhiyan managed to obtain the video no matter how he thought about it.
...
Zhao Hai, already a coward at heart, spilled everything during questioning by the police.
Shang Yunsheng was summoned shortly afterward.
But his psychological resilience was unnervingly good—he adamantly denied everything, and without concrete evidence, there was little that could be done to him.
Lai Feifei also arrived after being notified by the police.
When she learned about the attempted poisoning, she naturally refused to tolerate Zhao Hai, terminating his rental agreent on the spot.
She even called soone to have Zhao Hai’s girlfriend evicted as well.
After escorting the three individuals out of the police station, Zhao Shumin asked the officer, "Officer, what kind of punishnt will Zhao Hai face?"
"Ms. Liu, the test results are out: the white powder is crushed sleeping pills. Zhao Hai deliberately attempted poisoning—not with lethal toxins, but a substantial amount of sleeping pills coupled with malicious intent to harm."
"He will likely face criminal charges, but since there were no severe consequences, the specifics will be decided by the court."
"But it’s very likely he’ll go to jail."
"That’s good. Officer, what about Shang Yunsheng?"
"Regarding Shang Yunsheng, the evidence is insufficient. We will have officers closely monitor him for a while going forward."
"That’s good. Thank you, Officer."
At this mont, Zhao Shumin finally felt a sense of relief. With the police keeping an eye on him, surely he wouldn’t be able to act so brazenly anymore.
...
After leaving the police station, the more sober version of Lai Feifei glared at Zhao Shumin, saying resentfully, "I never thought your ex-husband was such a dostic abuser. I despise n like that the most."
