Chapter 336 "Have you forgotten me?"

Xu Zhen asked urgently, "Mom, what should we do now? Should we call the police and pretend we came to Auntie's house and found her suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning?"

“No.” Zhang Ting shook her head, a calculating glint in her eyes. “Instead of calling the police, we should call an ambulance.”

"Why?" Xu Zhen asked, puzzled. "Isn't Auntie already dead?"

Zhang Ting stared down at Zhang Dan, "She is indeed dead, but if we call the police and they find out we tampered with the gas pipes, wouldn't we be losing both our money and our reputation?"

"That's right!" Xu Zhen raised his hand and slapped his forehead. "How come I didn't think of that!"

Zhang Ting said disdainfully, "You inherited your brain from your dad. You're stupid. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been tricked into gambling and ended up with a mountain of debt!"

Xu Zhen pouted angrily, not daring to refute.

Zhang Ting continued, "Once we get Zhang Dan's inheritance, we'll pay off your debts. If you gamble again, I'll break your legs!"

"I dare not gamble anymore," Xu Zhen muttered to himself.

"Okay, I'll call 120." Zhang Ting had just finished typing three numbers when she suddenly remembered something, "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" Xu Zhen asked.

Xu Dafu also looked at her.

Zhang Ting said, "Should we pretend we found Zhang Dan unconscious on the ground and were frightened? It would be best if we could call the neighbors out!"

“I think it’s a good idea.” Xu Dafu nodded in agreement, and Xu Zhen also indicated that he had no objections.

Zhang Ting immediately instructed, "Take off your masks and open the door."

As Xu Zhengang walked towards the entrance, he saw a tall figure emerge from the kitchen, holding something he had only ever seen in TV dramas, with a dark hole facing him.

He stopped abruptly, frozen in place, his mind a jumbled mess, and stammered, "Mom...Mom!"

"What are you doing?" Zhang Ting turned around and looked over, her expression changing instantly, her eyes fixed on him.

Why are there police officers?

"Who...who called the police?" Xu Dafu was also frightened, probably because he felt guilty, and his whole body began to tremble.

Zhang Dan sat up from the ground, her tone cold: "I called the police."

Zhang Ting and her family of three all turned to look at her, their faces showing fear and disbelief.

Xu Dafu, who was closest to her, was so frightened that he fell to the ground, trembling as he cried out, "Are you... are you a human or a ghost...?"

"You're not dead!" Zhang Ting realized, recalling the phone Xu Zhen had looked for that morning, her eyes filled with intense anger and resentment. "You were faking it?"

Another police officer emerged from behind the curtains, his steps steady and firm, his expression serious: "You are suspected of murdering Ms. Zhang Dan. The facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive..."

Zhang Ting's family naturally denied it to the death.

Zhang Dan sneered and immediately played the recording on her phone, which revealed the scheming conversation between Zhang Ting and her family of three that morning.

Zhang Ting's plump figure swayed, unable to believe that she had actually kept a trick up her sleeve!
Zhang Dan stared at her, her eyes burning with anger, and said indignantly, "This is the content of your family's conversation! You admitted to tampering with my gas pipe, and the two police officers heard it clearly!"

Zhang Ting had planned everything meticulously, but she never expected that Zhang Dan would not only survive but also leave evidence to report the incident to the police.

No, I absolutely cannot go to jail!
Zhang Ting knelt down with a thud, moving her knees to Zhang Dan's side, her voice trembling with tears: "Dan, I was wrong, I was just confused for a moment, please forgive me this time, okay? I'll be your slave from now on."

Xu Dafu immediately knelt down as well, "Adan, you're the kindest person, you wouldn't bear to treat us like this, would you?"

"Auntie!" Xu Zhen rushed over and threw himself in front of Zhang Dan. "Auntie, you love me the most. Please forgive me! I'm your only nephew!"

Zhang Dan sat down on the sofa, listening expressionlessly to the family of three's pleas for mercy. A sense of desolation filled her heart. She calmly said, "I've been so good to you, yet you're determined to kill me." "Auntie, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong," Xu Zhen cried uncontrollably. "Auntie, I was blinded by greed for a moment. You're my best and most beloved auntie, how could I bear to let you die? Look at you, you're alive and well now, aren't you?"

Zhang Dan looked at him expressionlessly, "I didn't die because I'm lucky, not because you couldn't bear to part with me."

"Auntie..." Xu Zhen pleaded, kneeling on her lap, "You love me the most, you definitely won't let me go to jail, right?"

Zhang Dan pushed him away, stood up and said to the policeman, "Comrade, take them away. I will not forgive them."

"Okay." The two policemen nodded in agreement.

As Zhang Ting was taken away by the police, she turned back and stared at Zhang Dan, her eyes filled with overwhelming hatred and resentment.

Zhang Dan gazed at her intently, and his heart, which had been filled with sorrow and pain, found peace at that moment.

She is not Zhang Ting's sister; they are not related by blood, and Zhang Ting has never genuinely treated her as a sister.

From now on, she and she will never have any connection again.

June weather is like a child's face, changing in an instant; the sun blazes in the morning, and torrential rain pours down in the afternoon.

As Jiang Yuan parked the car, large raindrops pelted against the windshield.

This is her new car; she forgot to bring an umbrella.

Zhang Dan contacted Deng Rui yesterday via WeChat to arrange a meeting, presumably to express her gratitude in person.

Jiang Yuan agreed, but it started raining as soon as she stepped out the door. It was quite a distance from the ground parking lot to the Western restaurant.

If she gets out of the car now, she might get soaked in the rain and look quite disheveled.

Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and sent Zhang Dan a voice message, "Manager Zhang, please wait for me for a moment. It's raining quite heavily now. I'll go in later."

Just as the voice message was sent, there was a sudden knock on the car window.

Jiang Yuan turned her head and saw a tall, slender figure. The man was holding a long-handled umbrella and leaning slightly forward, his gentle and handsome face close to the car window.

She rolled down the car window a little and asked, puzzled, "Is something the matter?"

The man paused, pursed his lips, and asked with a hint of hurt, "Have you forgotten me?"

"Do we know each other?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"...I am Duan Yunzhou."

"Duan Yunzhou?"

"Can't you remember?" Duan Yunzhou asked.

Jiang Yuan nodded honestly.

Duan Yunzhou took out his phone and tapped a few times before turning his attention back to the car.

Jiang Yuan felt her phone vibrate, thinking it was Zhang Dan replying to a WeChat message. But when she opened it, she saw an unfamiliar name: Duan Yunzhou - Veterinarian at a wildlife conservation base.
She blinked, then looked up at the other person again. "You are Duan Yunzhou."

"You remember now?" Duan Yunzhou smiled.

Jiang Yuan rolled down all the car windows and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I have a bad memory."

"It's alright," Duan Yunzhou smiled. "Are you leaving or just arrived?"

"I just arrived," Jiang Yuan said. "The rain is a bit heavy, so I want to wait until it subsides a bit before going down."
