After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 404

Chapter 404: Chapter 404: I Settle the Scores With You on Behalf of My Mother

The green fox never dreamed that everything she had done tonight, including the process of how she tricked Shi Luochen into attempting to kill Lu Sheng, had been completely recorded on a phone.

Moreover, even the transfer she made to Chen Guifen had been uncovered by Lu Sheng, thoroughly incriminating her with irrefutable proof.

...What to do now?

If she couldn’t kill the Shi Family members and escape directly, she’d have to continue living in this human body under the identity of Lin Fangling.

But the problem was, to live as a human, she’d be bound by the rules of human society.

The crime of attempted murder falls under the most serious category, punishable by death or life imprisonment!

And everything she did tonight, with not just witnesses and physical evidence, but even the entire crime process documented clearly on video, left no room for argument.

If this ever went to court, she wouldn’t have a shred of defense. Even if it were reduced to attempted murder, she’d still face at least several years in prison.

Not wanting to go to jail, her only option before judgment would be to commit suicide and separate her soul from the body.

However, Lin Fangling’s body had died suddenly of overwork in the early morning that day, coincidentally allowing her roving soul to possess it.

Finding another suitable human corpse to reincarnate into... Who knows when that day would come? Until then, she’d drift endlessly in her soul form.

No... She couldn’t bear wandering again!

But she didn’t want to go to prison either.

Tonight’s events could be mild or catastrophic.

After all, Lu Sheng hadn’t actually been killed. If the Shi Family chose not to involve the police and dealt with it internally, then nothing would happen to her.

As long as Lu Sheng was willing to let it go and not file a report, she’d be safe.

For demons, concepts like pride and dignity meant little. Even if it was embarrassing, it would only diminish this body’s reputation anyway.

So, with a thud, she knelt down in front of Lu Sheng, wailing and crying, begging for Lu Sheng’s forgiveness.

Lin Fangling’s actions left the rest of the Shi Family stunned.

"Fangling... Are you admitting that tonight you bribed Chen Guifen and manipulated Chenchen to try and kill Shengsheng?" Old Mr. Shi’s chest heaved as he struggled to maintain his composure.

This was his only daughter-in-law. And yet, she’d colluded with the maid and exploited his intellectually disabled son to attempt to kill his granddaughter.

"Yes..." At this point, there was no room for denial. Lin Fangling sobbed, "Dad, it’s all my fault. I was worried that Lu Sheng coming to the Shi Family would take what rightfully belonged to Yuwei, Xiao Yu, and Chenchen, so I let greed consume me in a moment of weakness. I truly regret it now..."

Her tear-streaked face clung to Lu Sheng’s clothes. "Lu Sheng, Shengsheng, it’s all Aunt’s fault! Please, I’m begging you, forgive me and don’t report this to the police. I promise from now on, I’ll treat you like my own daughter, just like I treat Yuwei. Please, forgive me..."

Lu Sheng stood there motionless, letting Lin Fangling kneel before her and clutch at her clothes, crying and begging. She remained unmoved.

Her expression didn’t change, not even slightly.

Shi Muchuan never imagined his stepmother capable of such deeds. He clenched his fists but refrained from intervening. Shi Chengyun, seeing his wife in such a pathetic state, couldn’t tolerate it either.
