Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again

Chapter 1958: Chapter 1956: Shared Life

Chen Na knew that among the kidnapped children, there was also the grandson of Shen Manru’s brother-in-law, so how could she show her face to ask an old classmate for help? She could only find someone else, and after going through seven or eight connections, she finally saw her daughter, who looked haggard and had empty, lifeless eyes.

When mother and daughter met, they naturally cried. She surely wanted to ask the reason, but the words her daughter spoke made her feel that her daughter had gone insane.

However, Chen Na looked at her eldest son and had an idea. Whether her daughter truly was mad or pretending, in her current state, she was no different from someone with a mental illness.

Surely, the people interrogating her had already known about her daughter’s current state; otherwise, they would not have let them see her.

The visiting time was over, and Choo Lan was taken away by two officers. Suddenly, she lunged at Chen Na, shrieking, "Mom, brother, I was also deceived by the Dark Devil. He said that if I followed his instructions, I would gain the Demon Lord’s powers, and after the Demon Lord was resurrected, he would help me win Qin Yize’s heart.

That’s why I went with him to steal those children. How was I to know he was powerless, not even as good as Gu Qiaoqiao?

He was killed by that woman, Gu Qiaoqiao, with a huge, glowing sword. Mom, brother, I was wrong. I’ll never dare to provoke Gu Qiaoqiao again. I won’t covet Qin Yize anymore. Please save me..."

In the past, no matter how much she messed around, she had nothing to do with the police department, at most receiving a few reprimands from her grandfather or her parents and brother.

But this time was different; there were nine children in her hands.

And indeed, they were the ones she and her subordinates had brought back.

She really didn’t dare provoke Gu Qiaoqiao anymore, because she remembered that before she fainted, she saw Gu Qiaoqiao lift a sword radiating with glorious light and smash the Dark Devil to pieces. It was terrifying. That woman was more formidable than the Dark Devil. How could she dare to provoke her?

The Dark Devil was someone she feared, but Gu Qiaoqiao was even more formidable. Her capabilities can only be imagined.

She used to dismiss Gu Qiaoqiao, simply because she was a peasant girl from the countryside. Even though she returned to the Gu Family, it couldn’t erase her upbringing in the countryside.

How could she compare with someone like her, a naturally born aristocrat?

There was absolutely no comparison, so deep down, she looked down on her.

But evidently, the facts were quite the contrary.

At this moment, Choo Lan was nothing like her usual elegant, noble, and beautiful socialite self. Her bloodshot eyes and frenzied shrieking rendered her like a madwoman.

Who here would believe her words? Kidnapping is kidnapping; wanting to do bad deeds is wanting to do bad deeds. Some people have dark minds and perverse actions; who knows what they wouldn’t do? Bringing up the Demon Lord or Demons—she must really be insane.

And all her talk about Gu Qiaoqiao... even Chen Na knew about her jealousy towards Gu Qiaoqiao.

Then, the crazed Choo Lan was taken away by two policemen, and Chen Na looked at her son, saying meaningfully, "Your sister truly has gone mad, or she wouldn’t have done something like this."

Choo Lan’s older brother, Choo Tianshu, is the future heir of the Choo Family. Having always been by Old Master Choo’s side, his disposition and skills are extraordinary. After Old Master Choo’s condition stabilized, he came to the Capital City with his directives. When comparing having a criminal sentenced versus someone labeled as a mentally ill person from the family, even a fool knows which to choose.

He came not knowing he’d face such a scene, originally thinking about how to create conditions and opportunities for his sister to cooperate with him. Who knew things would go so smoothly, evoking a trace of delight—better a mental illness label than a prison sentence. Besides, having someone labeled mentally ill wouldn’t be as detrimental to the rest of the family, especially direct relatives, where political vetting would become quite troublesome.

He didn’t have time to guess whether his sister was smart and wanted to extricate herself or if she truly lost her mind. But in his heart, Choo Tianshu tended to believe his sister had a psychological issue, otherwise, why would she kidnap those children for no reason?

And the whole Dark Devil and Demon Lord thing...

Was she possessed?

This behavior cannot be explained by any reason, plus one of her two bodyguards was a Choo Family man and was also detained. He figured he should meet them to see what was really going on, and then formulate a plan to get Choo Lan out.

He gave Chen Na, who was wiping her tearful, anguished face, a look, and the mother and son quickly left here. But when they went to see the two Choo family men, they were told that the two were already dead, which truly was unexpected.

They didn’t know it was because the Dark Devil had manipulated them both, their lives interlinked. So, when the Dark Devil died, they perished too.

Choo Lan survived the ordeal because she was a woman, with intense malevolent energy, but couldn’t share life with him.

Otherwise, Choo Lan would have died too by now.

When Choo Tianshu learned of this, although disappointed, it actually alleviated issues since two fewer witnesses meant significantly reduced trouble. So, he pulled every string to start the maneuvering, and psychiatric doctors examined Choo Lan, diagnosing her with schizophrenia.

A bona fide mental illness.

She imagined a powerful demon with whom she struck a deal, and when the nine children’s blood flowed into the copper cauldron, that demon would resurrect the Demon Lord, who would then assist her in obtaining what she desired.

No one believed what she said to be true.

Thus, the diagnostic result lay on the desk, Choo Lan was granted bail, and taken to a mental hospital for treatment.

Maybe in a moment of realization, she started making things up even more.

This happened a week later, during which Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize went out every night searching nearby for Lin Qinghuan’s trace. They also went to other places but couldn’t find her. Lin Qinghuan had simply vanished.

But Gu Qiaoqiao believed she must be hiding somewhere in the Imperial Capital, but she hadn’t learned any talismans that could trace a spiritual body yet, so she had to temporarily give up. However, Qin Yize brought her this news, causing Gu Qiaoqiao to furrow her brows slightly, "So she escaped this ordeal."

No matter how you think of it, it’s displeasing.

Not facing legal punishment and instead hiding in a mental hospital is utterly unfair to those nine terrified children who barely escaped with their lives.

Legally, mentally ill individuals hold no civil or criminal responsibility.

Gu Qiaoqiao sneered coldly, "She doesn’t even need to fake this mental illness. Making a deal with the Dark Devil was indeed real, she was merely speaking the truth. But unexpectedly, it unintentionally saved her."

At this moment, the two were seated in Qin Yize’s study. Gu Qiaoqiao was on the computer, while Qin Yize was working on his documents.
