The FDD Commercial Building was considered a well-known landmark.
When Chen Zhao entered the building, he was almost stopped by the security.
The main function of this building was to serve as an office, but there were also some luxury apartment suites that could be provided to tenants.
From the security and environment, the monthly rent for a suite in this building was at least $20,000.
Chen Zhao's customer lived in one of the suites. Chen Zhao reached the 40th floor. After confirming the number, he pressed the doorbell.
Chen Zhao still remembered the two beauties he'd met the last time he came here.
He hoped that the customer this time was also a beauty. Of course, it would be best if she wasn't a killer.
The door opened. It was a woman in her thirties. She was very pretty and had some foundation on her face. She also had good fashion sense.
However, her stomach was stained with blood. The knife hadn't been pulled out yet.
The woman lowered her head and looked at the pets beside Chen Zhao. "You are?"
"Are you the one who called the doctor?"
"Are you here to practice medicine?"
"Yes."
"Are you sure you're not a vet?"
"I'm used to bringing my pets out. I don't feel safe leaving them at home."
"Okay … Come in."
Chen Zhao entered. The living room was a mess.
Chen Zhao turned to look at the woman. "Are you sure you don't need to call the police?"
"This is from my fight with my daughter. How do you want me to call the police?"
"Then your wound …"
"It's also her work."
Chen Zhao didn't know what to say. He didn't know the mother and daughter, so he didn't know what conflict they had.
"Uh … How old is your daughter?"
"Fifteen." The woman lay on the sofa.
Chen Zhao lifted her clothes. "Bear with it. I'll pull the knife out."
Judging from the wound, the knife didn't go in too deep. Her daughter probably didn't use much strength.
Woof, woof!
Suddenly, Walter started barking at the bedroom door. Chen Zhao turned and saw blood flowing out from under the door.
Chen Zhao's expression changed. He turned to look at the woman.
The woman was stabbing at Chen Zhao with a knife.
"F * ck!" Chen Zhao was shocked. He hurriedly grabbed the woman's wrist, but he was still one step too slow. The knife had already cut his palm.
Chen Zhao flipped over on the sofa in fright. The woman raised the knife and charged at him again. Chen Zhao lifted his leg and kicked the woman's newly stitched wound.
The woman held her stomach in pain. Chen Zhao was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Chen Zhao had only been practicing for two days, but he only realized when he really needed it that not everyone could use it at critical moments.
This was the difference between Chen Zhao and Gaia. Gaia had been on the battlefield before.
He was confident that he was stronger than Gaia in terms of strength and speed.
But if it was Gaia, she would definitely not be as pathetic as Chen Zhao.
Chen Zhao looked at his arm. There was a cut, but it wasn't serious.
Chen Zhao glanced at the woman on the ground and pushed open the bedroom door.
A young girl was lying on the ground in a pool of blood.
Chen Zhao hurried over to check on the girl. She wasn't dead yet.
Chen Zhao carried the girl out of the bedroom. She had been stabbed in the chest and had lost a lot of blood. The injury was very serious and her breathing was very weak.
The woman stood up, clutching her abdomen. She looked at Chen Zhao with a terrible expression.
"She's your daughter?"
"She is my adopted daughter." A hint of hatred flashed across the woman's face.
"I'm going to call the police."
"Don't … Don't call the police."
"No, I have to do this. You want to murder your own daughter?"
Chen Zhao couldn't ignore this. If the girl died, he might get into big trouble.
"I didn't … She committed suicide," the woman explained anxiously. "It's not my fault."
"Then why didn't you tell me beforehand?" Chen Zhao asked the woman while giving first aid to the girl. "Walter, give me my case."
Walter dragged the case and ran to Chen Zhao's side. Chen Zhao carefully pulled out the knife.
Blood spurted out of the girl's chest immediately. Chen Zhao hurriedly covered the wound.
Chen Zhao took out a bottle and smeared the sticky substance on the wound.
This was the saliva of the Swamp Soul-Eating Frog. It was very effective at stopping bleeding.
Chen Zhao had no choice. The girl's wound couldn't be stopped with acupuncture, so he had to use the demonic potion.
But Chen Zhao still had to watch this woman. Who knew if she would suddenly go crazy and attack him again?
"She wants to frame me. She wants to use her own death to frame me," the woman explained. The woman explained agitatedly, "Please, don't call the police. If you do, I'll be finished …"
Chen Zhao's eyes flickered. He wasn't sure if the woman was telling the truth.
"You stabbed yourself, didn't you?"
After a moment of hesitation, the woman finally nodded. "Yes."
"What's going on? If you make me think that you're still holding back, I'll call the police immediately. "
"Vielle is my adopted daughter."
"You said that before."
"Her father passed away from liver cancer ten years ago. She's been rejecting me since she was young. Of course, I don't like her either. We've had countless big and small fights."
Chen Zhao listened quietly, trying to judge if the woman was telling the truth.
"Recently, I heard that she was hanging out with a bunch of gangsters, so I had a big fight with her."
This woman clearly hated her adopted daughter. After all, they weren't related by blood. Not everyone had a sense of responsibility.
To this woman, her adopted daughter, Vielle, was just a burden.
"I grounded her. I told her that she was not allowed to step out of the apartment for ten days. She said that if I didn't let her out, she would commit suicide. I said that even if she died, she would die in this apartment. Then, she hid in her room. An hour ago, I opened her door and saw that she had stabbed a knife into her chest. I was scared out of my wits, so …"
"So you stabbed yourself with a knife?"
The woman nodded. "I thought that if I didn't do anything, the police would definitely say that I killed her. Everyone knows that I have a bad relationship with Vielle."
"Then why did you stab yourself?" Chen Zhao didn't understand. Could stab herself to clear her name?
"I … I was going to pretend that this was a robbery …" The woman looked like she was in pain. Blood was still seeping out of her abdomen.
Chen Zhao tossed over a bottle. "Put some of this on the wound."
The woman continued, "I was going to call the police … but I suddenly remembered that there was a surveillance camera at the door, so the police only needed to check the surveillance camera to know that there was no robber, so … I had no choice but to find a doctor to treat me, and then you came …"
"What about her?"
"I thought she was dead. I really thought that Vielle was dead. I didn't want her to die. Believe me, I hate her, but I won't kill her."
"You wanted to get rid of her body after your wounds healed, right?" The woman hesitated for a while before finally nodding.
