Just like most people, seeing the deceased body with a perfectly intact face and a peaceful expression brought immense psychological comfort to the family.
However, Tang Zhongcheng's tears continued to flow.
After a night passed, Zhang Meiyu woke up and heard that she could still see Tang Xu. Her first action was to go to Xianfu Group.
"Xiao Min, Tang Ye said you can let me see Tang Xu again, is that right?"
"I really want to see him one last time, please help me."
Tang Xu's ghost was right beside Tang Xiao Min; he hadn't gone anywhere.
"I can let you see him, but that's all."
"As long as I can see him, I'll be satisfied," Zhang Meiyu said. This was her only request now.
Tang Xiao Min took out a glass bottle containing a transparent liquid.
"This is ox-gall tear. Just smear it on your eyes, and you can temporarily see Tang Xu."
"It's that simple?"
Zhang Meiyu, half-believing, poured some ox-gall tear and smeared it on her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, she indeed saw Tang Xu's ethereal figure not far from her side.
"Son, is it really you?"
She immediately ran towards Tang Xu's ghost excitedly, trying to touch his body.
Unfortunately, her hand bizarrely passed through Tang Xu's body, and she couldn't touch or feel anything.
"This... how can this be?"
"Humans and ghosts walk separate paths; you are no longer in the same world, so naturally, you cannot see or touch." Tang Xiao Min said.
Seeing this, Tang Yu and the others also smeared ox-gall tear on themselves.
Seeing Tang Xu again, everyone was filled with emotion.
The incident was so sudden that they hadn't had a chance to say goodbye to Tang Xu at the time. Now, they naturally had many things to say.
Tang Xiao Min quietly withdrew, leaving the morgue to them for their final farewell.
"Miss Tang, Zhang Guo'er has been found. She is in your office right now," Lu Xing said.
"She drank a lot that day. We found her sleeping in a secluded hotel. The car she was driving was stolen from someone else. The owner has already reported it, and the police are also looking for her."
Zhang Guo'er's actions this time had exceeded Tang Xiao Min's expectations.
"I never imagined she would hate me to this extent. She was clearly trying to take my life back then."
"Miss Tang, heaven and earth may have their limits, but this hatred can go on forever. The dark side of the human heart is far deeper than it appears on the surface."
If people's hearts weren't dark, how could there be so many criminals in prison?
If others do not offend me, I will not offend them. If others offend me, I will eradicate them completely.
She was too soft-hearted, which had nurtured the darkness in Zhang Guo'er's heart, and Tang Xu had died because of it.
She had imagined Tang Xu dying by her hands countless times, but she had never imagined he would die saving her.
A seemingly calm but in reality dangerous glint appeared in her eyes.
"I'll go and deal with her."
Tang Xiao Min left.
Lu Xing watched her back as she went to handle the matter, and an involuntary chill ran down his spine.
After a moment's thought, he decided it was best not to follow, lest he have nightmares.
In the office, Zhang Guo'er was tied to a chair.
Because of renovations, the office had been cleared out. The spacious area, with its black and white color scheme, had unconsciously lowered the temperature slightly.
Zhang Guo'er was positioned in the very center, becoming the sole focus of this space.
When Tang Xiao Min entered, Zhang Guo'er was still unconscious and reeked of alcohol.
It seemed she had drunk quite a bit before.
Tang Xiao Min slowly walked up to Zhang Guo'er and, without a word, kicked her in the face.
"Mmm..."
Zhang Guo'er woke up in pain, her head throbbing and feeling groggy.
When she struggled to look up and saw her current predicament, as well as the cold and stern Tang Xiao Min before her, she panicked.
"Where is this?"
"Tang Xiao Min, how could it be you?"
Compared to Zhang Guo'er's panic, Tang Xiao Min appeared overly calm, her unfocused eyes serene without a ripple.
"Do you remember what you did last night?"
"Last night?"
Zhang Guo'er tried to recall the events of the previous night. Suddenly, her head buzzed, and her face turned as pale as paper, devoid of any color.
Last night, she had intended to run over Tang Xiao Min.
But then, someone unknown rushed out and pushed Tang Xiao Min away. She had hit that person and didn't know what happened to them.
Could it be that Tang Xiao Min was here to settle the score for last night?
Now that she was tied up, she absolutely could not admit it.
"I was drunk last night, I don't remember anything."
"Heh..."
Tang Xiao Min let out a mocking laugh.
"Very good. You thought that by forgetting, it would have nothing to do with you. You've tricked yourself into a clear conscience; you're quite good at self-consolation."
"You lived with a clear conscience, but do you know that Tang Xu was killed by you, and my parents lost a son, and my several brothers lost a sibling?"
"While you were sleeping soundly and out of your senses last night, they cried their hearts out, consumed by unbearable pain."
"You, the culprit, feel nothing at all. Tell me, do people like you deserve to die?"
Zhang Guo'er was struck by lightning, her mind a complete blank.
After a long pause, she finally spoke with a tremor.
"How is that possible? How could that person be Tang Xu? How could I have hit and killed him."
"No, you must be deliberately lying to me. I didn't hit and kill anyone, I didn't!"
Zhang Guo'er not only felt no shame for her actions, but she also argued back, completely denying the crime she had committed.
Her twisted logic and attempt to absolve herself of guilt was truly the ugliest sight in the world.
Tang Xiao Min's rage boiled over, and she fiercely grabbed Zhang Guo'er's neck.
With a slight twist of her hand, Zhang Guo'er would have met her end.
Killing her would have been as easy as crushing an ant.
"I truly regret not killing you sooner. People like you perhaps never deserved to live from the beginning."
Seeing Zhang Guo'er struggling, her eyes rolling back, and on the verge of passing out, Tang Xiao Min suddenly let go.
Cough cough...
Cough...
Zhang Guo'er gasped for breath, coughing violently, tears streaming down her face.
She had almost died just now, and this filled her with terror.
No, she couldn't just sit and wait for death. Tang Xiao Min shouldn't dare to kill her, right? There were still legal restraints.
"Tang Xiao Min, if you dare to touch me, you are also breaking the law. You'd better let me go now, and I can let bygones be bygones."
Zhang Guo'er naively believed that this was still like before, just a minor scuffle.
Looking at her hopeful, unyielding demeanor, Tang Xiao Min suddenly smiled, the corners of her lips curling into an extremely eerie grin.
"Honestly, I'm being underestimated."
"Yan Jue was right. I am truly too kind now. To the point where stray cats and dogs like you dare to step on me."
