Great, It's the Pervy Neighbor. We're Doomed

Chapter 709: Happy Breakup

"Ah... this... I never even thought about it!"Lei Xiaoman lifted her head in surprise, then turned around, looking very curious: "But, honey, how do you know so much about this?"

Those words made Zhang Yao's heart skip a beat. He quickly thought of a response: "Hey, didn't I tell you? I'm a lawyer. I used to handle cases for freaks like this."

"So I'm very familiar with their psychological state."

Zhang Yao pulled Lei Xiaoman, who had sat up, back into his embrace.

"Let me tell you."

"These kinds of serial killers are almost always psychologically disturbed from childhood, or have antisocial personality disorder."

"Completely different from ordinary murderers."

"These people lack emotions. They can't have or understand human feelings."

"And once they commit their first crime, it's like flipping a switch for killing."

"They can't stop at all. They just keep committing crimes over and over!"

Even though Lei Xiaoman was a tough girl at heart, she couldn't help trembling with fear from Zhang Yao's explanation. She pressed even closer against him.

...

"Another one of the same kind? Wonder when he'll be brought in too."

Building No. 1, Jia Tao's home.

Jia Tao had also come across this news.

After reading it, he didn't think much. He just wondered when this person would be caught and sent in.

Right now, he was on his balcony scrolling through his phone.

He wasn't alone in his home.

There were three other people.

Ah Wei.

The middle-aged man in his fifties who painted his face very white and seemed mentally unstable.

And Zhao Hongwei, the one who specialized in making counterfeit Hermès bags and had been beaten into a childlike state by Zhao Jue earlier.

He had been seriously injured and sent to the hospital. After a long time, he finally woke up.

Shortly after waking up, he was sent back to Alice Apartment.

But he still hadn't fully recovered. His body was covered in white bandages everywhere, and he was using two crutches.

Of course, he wasn't using the crutches now. Both wooden crutches were lying on the floor.

He himself was hanging upside down from the ceiling.

Wailing in pain.

Ah Wei was using a scalpel to carve the character for "righteousness" on Zhao Hongwei's naked body.

"Sp-spare me! Aren't we comrades?! Why are you doing this to me?!"

Zhao Hongwei miserably begged Ah Wei to stop.

Ah Wei smacked his lips and chuckled.

Holding his phone, Jia Tao walked over to the hanging Zhao Hongwei. He reached out his right hand and patted Zhao Hongwei's terrified face.

"You, you. Didn't we set the rules back then? All the money stays with me. I give you an allowance every month. Why didn't you listen and secretly hide so much cash?"

When Zhao Hongwei heard these words, he immediately knew why he was being treated like this the moment he returned.

It was all because of the money.

Back then, when their five-person group formed, Jia Tao was the leader. He set the rules: all money had to be handed over.

But Zhao Hongwei had only handed over a portion. He had converted most of it into cash and hidden it in his home.

So, Jia Tao must have searched his place while he was away and found it.

"No, I didn't know anything about this!"

Zhao Hongwei could only pretend to be clueless.

He tried to bluff his way through, but Jia Tao's eyes were like a lighthouse in the dark sea-too dazzling.

If you called people like Jia Tao, Zhao Hongwei, and Ah Wei predators.

Then ordinary people in the world were sheep in their eyes.

Now, Zhao Hongwei, a low-level predator, had been targeted by Jia Tao, a higher-level predator.

Zhao Hongwei had become a sheep.

By the same logic, Jia Tao, a predator, would automatically turn into a sheep when facing Jiang Ran, that other predator.

...

"Yeah, that's how it is. Let's break up. I know about your cheating. A peaceful breakup is good for both of us. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other. Yeah, that's it."

Under the shade of a tree not far from the entrance of Nancheng University.

The afternoon sun shone straight down, filtering through the gaps in the tangled leaves.

A young couple was breaking up here.

The man was Zeng Yan. The woman was his girlfriend whom he had been financially supporting.

Zeng Yan had ultimately chosen to break up.

He made up his mind because of what Jiang Ran had said.

Anyway, he had slept with her. He could just consider the money he spent as buying temporary physical pleasure and mental satisfaction.

When he uttered the words of breakup to his girlfriend, Zeng Yan inexplicably felt that the heavy weight that had been pressing on him since he found out about her cheating had lifted considerably.

It shifted onto his girlfriend.

His girlfriend had been quite dissatisfied with him lately. She had been asking for living expenses but hadn't gotten any.

So, when Zeng Yan took the initiative to contact her this time, she was ready to give him a good scolding. Why were you making up excuses not to give living expenses? Did you find another woman outside?

But when they actually met, Zeng Yan, whom she had always been able to manipulate, dropped a bombshell.

He was breaking up.

Saying she was cheating.

She was about to explain that she wasn't cheating. He was the one who was cheating and wanted to break up, so he was slandering and framing her.

Then Zeng Yan showed her the photo he had taken when he came looking for her and saw her holding hands with another guy.

She was stunned for a moment, then explained that he was just her guy best friend.

After that, Zeng Yan sent her the intimate photos he had taken while following them, including them shopping and eating.

She then explained that it was her guy best friend's birthday, and she was celebrating with him.

Zeng Yan asked her, "Do you remember that day was our relationship anniversary?"

His girlfriend was left speechless. She said she had forgotten and was sorry.

Even though she had forgotten, she insisted that she and her guy best friend were innocent.

Zeng Yan then showed her the photos and videos of the two of them holding hands, laughing and talking, as they entered a hotel to check in.

His girlfriend could still explain, saying she was just seeing her guy best friend into the hotel and then came out herself.

Zeng Yan said he had waited outside that hotel all night, and only came out together with him in the morning.

Hearing this, his girlfriend then explained that she and her guy best friend were still innocent.

Because they had booked a twin room. Inside the hotel room, they had truly behaved themselves, completely innocent, and hadn't done anything.

Was he just not going to trust her?

Zeng Yan was dumbfounded by his girlfriend's series of explanations.

He didn't understand. These were clearly ironclad evidence. Why was she still making excuses?

Did he really have to catch them in the act for her to admit it?

"Fine! I'll show you the bed photos and videos of you two together right now!"

Zeng Yan actually didn't have any of these at all.

He was just trying to bluff.

He never expected his girlfriend to suddenly say: "Actually, I did sleep with him! But just once! It was the first and last time!"

"And, that time, we used protection! Strictly speaking, it doesn't count!!!!"
