“How did you know it was me who helped Mayor Yao become an Ability User?”
Qiu Rong immediately spoke up:
“It was my husband who personally told us! He said that you are his great benefactor, and if it wasn’t for you, he could have never become an Ability User in his life. He told us to treat you with gratitude whenever we see you!”
The second wife beside her also nodded hastily.
“No need to thank me, it was just a simple gesture. Not to mention Mayor Yao is no longer with us…”
Wang Tao shook his head. He didn’t have much of an association with Yao Guodong, but after all, it was an investment of his own. In just a few days, the investment was gone… Wang Tao felt somewhat sorrowful inside.
Seeing Wang Tao like this, there seemed to be a glimmer of light in Qiu Rong’s tearful eyes.
“My husband’s life was so tough! He…”
Qiu Rong immediately began to lament.
She talked about how difficult it had been for Yao Guodong, and how, just when things were looking up, an accident happened. He hardly got to enjoy any good times and so on.
Wang Tao didn’t interrupt her, quietly acting as a listener, waiting for her to finish. However, he soon realized that Qiu Rong really had the gift of gab, speaking for ten minutes without repeating herself.
Left with no choice, Wang Tao had to interrupt.
“I appreciate the thanks from both of you ladies. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading back now.”
Wang Tao felt that if he didn’t speak up, Qiu Rong could keep talking until the next morning.
Wang Tao said he was leaving, but he didn’t stand up. Because he knew that Qiu Rong wouldn’t have asked him over just for a thank you.

Sure enough, upon hearing Wang Tao’s words, Qiu Rong immediately fell silent. She and the second wife exchanged a stealthy glance, then she looked at Wang Tao with pitiable eyes.
“Mr. Wang, we, we have a favor to ask of you…”
“Oh? Let’s hear it.”
A hint of curiosity appeared on Wang Tao’s face.
“We, we don’t want to live here anymore. It’s too oppressive here, and it always reminds us of our husband, which makes us very sad… We want to move out and live somewhere else, so we’d like to ask for your help…”
Wang Tao looked at Qiu Rong with some speechlessness. You’ve only lived here a few hours, and you’re already oppressed? With heating, food, and drink available, isn’t that good enough?
“Your villa has been sealed off, I can’t help with that.”
Wang Tao spoke directly.
There really was nothing he could do about that, after all, the cause of Yao Guodong’s death had not been confirmed yet. As long as it wasn’t determined, their villa would remain sealed.
Qiu Rong hastily explained:
“No, no, no, I don’t mean that villa. I know that’s the crime scene… I meant some other place. We can move anywhere…”
“That’s impossible too.” Wang Tao still shook his head. Just as Qiu Rong was about to say something more, Wang Tao added, “Because you are suspects, and rather big ones at that.”
How suspicious they were in the eyes of City Hall, Wang Tao was not sure. In his view, he knew someone else was the murderer, but these two were very likely the accomplices!
“No, how come we’re suspects? We are victims too…”
Qiu Rong sounded somewhat agitated upon hearing Wang Tao’s words.
Wang Tao fell silent again, quietly watching her performance.
Qiu Rong didn’t have much to say this time. After a couple of attempts at defending herself and receiving no feedback from Wang Tao, she gradually stopped.
She bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes as she looked at Wang Tao.
“Mr. Wang, the innocent can clear themselves. I believe City Hall will give us justice! But…it’s really too uncomfortable here. Could you please help us out, let us go and live outside. We’re not afraid of being watched, because we have a clear conscience! It’s just too hard for us to stay here…”
The second wife at her side was even more distressed, crying pitifully.
“Why would you think I can let you go live outside?”
Wang Tao asked.
“Because you have the Ability! I believe that with your Ability, such little matters are trivial for you!”
Qiu Rong spoke up hastily.
“Then, why do you think I would help you?”
Wang Tao asked another question.
This was actually the question he was most curious about.
He could feel that since he had entered, Qiu Rong had been telling almost nothing but lies, but her desire to move out was genuine. Wang Tao was curious as to why, having never spoken a word to each other before, she would think he would help her?
“Because my husband said before that if… if anything happened to him, we should ask for your help!”
“…”
Hearing Qiu Rong’s words, Wang Tao immediately furrowed his brows.
Did Yao Guodong foresee an accident happening to himself, or was Qiu Rong making this up?
As if afraid that Wang Tao wouldn’t believe her, Qiu Rong promptly brought over an Informational Wristwatch. After some operations, a video appeared.
In the video, Yao Guodong was sitting at a table writing something, with what appeared to be his villa in the background.
“Is the recording on?”
Yao Guodong began to speak.
“It’s on.”
That was Qiu Rong’s voice.
“Mr. Wang, ever since I became an Ability User, I’ve become stronger, but I’ve always felt somewhat restless… I hope it’s just me overthinking. However, just in case, if anything really happens to me, I implore you to help my family. I still have some Crystal Coins; consider it your compensation for taking action…”
Watching Yao Guodong in the video addressing the camera, Wang Tao was very surprised. It was true?
The two women, Qiu Rong and her co-wife, watched Wang Tao anxiously.
