Chapter 2067: The Accidental Victim Ex-Girlfriend vs. the Blackened Current (Part 33)

Zhang Hanhan brought Xie Ming to the room she rented.

It wasn’t a very large two-bedroom apartment, but it was kept very clean, and the entire style was very similar to the home Xie Ming once lived in for two years.

His mood gradually softened.

Watching Zhang Hanhan busy in the kitchen, Xie Ming even thought to himself, perhaps he really had been a bit too much.

The ingredients and such had already been prepared beforehand.

Before Xie Ming could finish watching a program, he heard Zhang Hanhan calling him for dinner.

The table was full, with nearly ten dishes including cold appetizers.

Xie Ming glanced over quickly, almost all of them were dishes he liked.

He looked at the woman across from him, gentle eyes uncorking a bottle of red wine, and the trace of guilt in his heart became even more intense.

Maybe...

Before she leaves, maybe he should give her some money?

Zhang Hanhan looked at him with an uncommon gentleness.

She paused for a moment, her hand inadvertently stopping in its motion.

"What’s wrong?" A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes.

Xie Ming shook his head, thinking he would wait a bit before talking to her.

"It’s nothing."

Zhang Hanhan lowered her eyes and responded with an "oh", opening the cork to pour Xie Ming a glass.

As she handed it over, Xie Ming noticed her hand.

Very fair, looking exceptionally beautiful against the crimson wine glass.

Zhang Hanhan lifted the glass and gestured to him, "Come on, Xie Ming, let’s toast to our past."

The word "toast" made Xie Ming pause for a moment.

He also picked up his glass and drank the red wine in one gulp.

The atmosphere between them was the most harmonious it had been in a long time, and as Xie Ming ate those familiar-tasting dishes, he felt deeply moved.

"Hanhan, let me tell you..." He hadn’t finished speaking when he suddenly felt a bit dizzy.

Xie Ming thought it was because he had been too tired and hadn’t rested enough lately, but the dizziness became increasingly stronger.

Just before his consciousness slipped into oblivion, he saw Zhang Hanhan’s face wearing a cold smile.

...

Gu Shengyin was startled when she received the system alert.

"What did you say? Zhang Hanhan drugged Xie Ming with the intent to harm him?" Gu Shengyin was surprised, but upon further thought, she found it was not unexpected.

"System, simulate a number and call the police," Gu Shengyin said after a moment of contemplation.

She didn’t know what Zhang Hanhan intended to do, but now that she was aware, she couldn’t just let it be.

The system responded.

The police in Cloud Sea City received a strange call, with a voice saying someone was drugged in room 1203, XX district, intending to do harm.

The caller did not provide any additional information.

Oddly enough, when the police tried to trace the number of the caller, it was shown as non-existent.

Even though they couldn’t verify the details, the police quickly dispatched officers to act on the tip.

However, by the time they arrived at Zhang Hanhan’s residence, it was already a bit late.

She had used a kitchen knife to sever Xie Ming’s ten fingers and his male symbol.

If the police had been a bit later, Zhang Hanhan’s next target would have been Xie Ming’s neck.

Although she was initially flustered when she saw the police arrive, she quickly became disturbingly calm.

She just...

Gave Xie Ming a regretful glance, thinking, if only she had been faster.

Those officers, despite their extensive experience, turned slightly pale when they witnessed Xie Ming’s horrific state.

This was far beyond simple attempted murder; it was downright perverted!
