Chapter 12: My Sister’s Aspiration Is to Apply to the Police Academy?

Meanwhile, Li Antong scolded from the side, “Husband, why are you telling him all this? He has nothing left now, and the family is drowning in debts. I think we should just call the police and have him locked up, maybe force him to sew for a living.”

Hearing this, Zhao Chen felt a wave of disgust. He stared at her intently and asked, “Hehe, husband? You say that so affectionately. How much dowry did he give your family?”

Sun Liang laughed and answered first, “Not much, just a hundred thousand. It was the snakehead’s money from when he tricked you into northern Myanmar, haha.”

“Not bad. I’ve always said Sun Liang is the smart one,” Zhao Chen said with a mischievous glint in his eyes. “But Sun Liang, don’t you understand that sometimes being too clever can lead to your own downfall?”

“Don’t you two, this pair of dogs, ever think about why I dared to come here tonight? Don’t you realize I have ways to deal with you?” Zhao Chen’s words left Sun Liang and Li Antong stunned.

But soon, both sneered with contempt.

They all knew what a pushover Zhao Chen was back in college. What kind of revenge could a fool like him possibly have?

Li Antong sneered, “Zhao Chen, with your limited skills, you better stop pretending to be impressive in front of us. All my paperwork with Sun Liang is completely legal, including this house. I don’t believe you can pull any tricks.”

“Is that so? You don’t believe me?” Zhao Chen sneered coldly, then strode forward and slapped her sharply across the face.

He then snatched her phone and slipped it into his palm space to prevent her from calling the police.

Li Antong glared at Zhao Chen in fury and confusion, shouting, “You useless bastard, give me back my phone, or I’ll go out and call for help! I’ll accuse you of breaking and entering and assault!”

“Go ahead, call all you want. Let’s see if your speed calling for help beats mine in acting.”

A sharp light flashed in Zhao Chen’s eyes as he grabbed her wrist and began to exert force.

He wanted to see if he could trap this vile woman inside his palm space too. If he could, he would sell her to Myanmar and let her suffer the same hardships he once endured.

A white light flickered, and under her terrified gaze, Li Antong collapsed into a white point of light and vanished.

It actually worked!

Suddenly, Sun Liang’s terrified shout came from behind: “What... what did you do to her? Why has Antong disappeared?”

“Don’t worry, soon it’ll be your turn.”

Zhao Chen sneered, turned, and grabbed the fleeing Sun Liang, exerting force again.

His left palm emitted a terrifying suction power, pulling the scoundrel inside as well.

Looking at the empty room, hearing the rapid gunshots from the bedroom, Zhao Chen entered and saw their wedding photo hanging on the wall.

He tore it down and smashed it violently on the floor.

“Just wait. I’ll make sure you taste the torment of hell on earth!”

He then found the main water and electricity switches and turned them all off, secured the doors and windows, and quietly locked the door before heading downstairs.

Two living people vanished into thin air; no one would notice immediately, but over time, it would be problematic.

Both Li Antong and Sun Liang had families who would eventually report them missing when they couldn’t be reached.

He had to quickly settle affairs at home before heading back to southern Yunnan.

Besides, the eleven pieces of jadeite he had on hand needed to be sold soon.

And the ability he had just discovered to absorb jadeite energy and strengthen his body could only be exploited in southern Yunnan, where he could find good jadeite pieces at a bargain.

Thinking of all this, Zhao Chen sighed inwardly.

He had just reunited with his parents, and now he had to leave again, without even seeing his sister. How could he bear it? But staying was not an option.

When Zhao Chen returned home, it was past midnight.

Fortunately, his parents were already asleep and unaware that he had gone out.

...

The next morning, Zhao Chen went downstairs and bought fried dough sticks, rice porridge, and buns.

He waited for his parents to wake up, then had breakfast with them and casually asked about his sister.

He learned that his sister was now in her final year of high school and would take the college entrance exam next June.

Zhao Chen asked, “Mom, has my situation affected Yueyue’s studies?”

His sister’s name was Zhao Xinyue. It had been more than two years since they last met. She must have grown into a graceful young lady by now.

“She’s always been top of her class and even said she wants to apply to the police academy to go rescue you in Myanmar. If Yueyue knew you were safe and back, she’d be so happy.”

This was the moment Zhao Chen had been waiting for to bring up his sister.

“Good. Then I’ll visit her school later.”

“Go ahead. You haven’t seen each other in two years. Encourage her to focus on her studies and prepare well for the exam,” his mother replied with a smile.

After leaving home, Zhao Chen didn’t drive.

That red SUV had appeared last night, so he couldn’t use it again so soon.

He took a taxi to the county’s No. 2 High School, about a dozen kilometers away.

He told the security guard and finally caught sight of his long-missed sister during recess.

“Brother? Why are you back?” Zhao Xinyue asked in surprise, then burst into tears and threw herself into his embrace.

“Brother, I’m so glad you came back safely. Did those people hurt you? I saw online that place described as terrifying!”

“It’s okay now. Anyway, it’s all over,” Zhao Chen avoided the painful memories and took out ten thousand yuan from his pocket, pressing it into her hand.

“Take this money and eat more meat. Look at how skinny you are.”

His sister had indeed grown taller, nearly 1.7 meters.

Her once slightly chubby face had become slender. If they met on the street, even strangers might not recognize her.

Zhao Xinyue looked at the money in shock, hesitating to speak.

Zhao Chen knew what she wanted to ask and smiled reassuringly.

“Don’t worry, this money isn’t from a scam. Those scumbags wouldn’t hand over what they took. I found a very valuable piece of jadeite there and sold it. It’s all clean money.”

“Jadeite? How much did you sell it for?”

Zhao Xinyue was stunned again by this incredible news and found it hard to believe.
