Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Chapter 357 Next Task - Mom, I'm Sorry

Zhou Leng returned to the workshop, where Yan Xiaosong's soul was waiting.

"Master, I didn't know there are so many things to do in modern times. Thank you for helping me with things other than the mission."

Zhou Leng replied: "It's not actually outside the mission. With Wang Keshang's personality, he won't stand idly by. My mission is to protect him."

Yan Xiaosong saluted and said calmly: "My life has been worth it. I deserve to die without regrets."

Zhou Leng watched Yan Xiaosong disappear.

Xiao Ding said with emotion: "They are all admirable people."

Zhou Leng didn't say anything else. He turned his head to look at the next task on the display panel.

Client’s name: Liu Zimo.

Client's gender: Male.

Occupation before death: student.

Cause of death: suicide.

Age at death: 19.

The client’s wish: I feel so sorry for my mother and I don’t have the face to see her again. I hope you can help me make my mother happy.

Xiao Ding staggered back to Zhou Leng's spiritual world again. She thought the mission was interesting, so she chose to follow.

The strange soul imprint and strange memories made Zhou Leng dazed, and then she ran quickly.

A primary school student was running like crazy on the road, his face flushed and he was breathing heavily. He ran into an old residential area, turned into a cool, backlit area, opened the door of the unit with a somewhat unsteady step, endured the pain in his legs, gritted his teeth and ran to the second floor.

Bang bang bang.

"Mom, I'm back. Please open the door for me. I'm hungry."

A woman in the house was holding a fruit knife in her hand, with the knife pointing at her neck. She looked towards the door with tears in her eyes. There was struggle, pain, and worry in her eyes. She was worried that her son would starve.

Zhou Leng shouted breathlessly:

"Mom, my dear mother, why didn't you pick me up from school today? I missed you so much. I ran away quickly... When I came back, I wondered if you had prepared something delicious for me." He said as he quickened the pace of knocking on the door.

The woman slowly put down the knife as her son spoke. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and walked over to open the door with unsteady steps.

Zhou Leng looked at the woman who was safe and sound, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then hugged the woman and said coquettishly: "Mom, why didn't you pick me up today?"

She was a little overwhelmed by her son's sudden closeness, so she patted the child's shoulder and replied, "Mom forgot, you came back by yourself?"

Zhou Leng loosened his hand, he looked up at the woman, and saw traces of forceful wiping at the corners of her eyes, and there was disbelief on her face that her son was suddenly so close to her.

"Well, I saw that my mother didn't come to pick me up, so I came back. I'm a big kid now. Mom, I'm hungry."

"Oh, Mom forgot, the meal is not ready yet."

After the woman finished speaking, she looked at her son nervously. She was afraid that he would ridicule her as usual. She was afraid to hear her son say, "You stay at home every day and don't go out to earn money. You can't even cook a meal."

"Then I'll go do my homework first. I still have some snacks left from what Dad bought me yesterday. Mom will call me when dinner is ready. Let's wait for Dad to eat together today."

"Hey... Hey, then mom will go cook."

Zhou Lengyang returned to his room with a smile on his face and his schoolbag on his back.

The house where the Liu family lives is an old building. There is a small living room at the entrance, two bedrooms on the south side, and the kitchen is on the balcony on the north side. The decoration inside the house is a bit old.

Zhou Leng put down his schoolbag, sat on the chair and sighed deeply.

The woman was the target of her mission this time, Liu Zimo's mother Tao Yan.

Tao Yan is a housewife. She married Liu Changli after graduation and gave birth to Liu Zimo the following year. Then she had to take care of the child, do laundry, cooking, and cleaning. These household chores can most easily wear away a person's youth and fighting spirit.

If it were an ordinary family, this would be a happy family of three, but unfortunately Tao Yan does not get any respect in this family.

Liu Changli opened the door as usual, threw his bag on the table at the door, changed his shoes, and looked up to see the food on the table. He frowned and said, "You didn't eat?"

Because usually the table was filled with dishes for him alone, but now it was filled with dishes for three people, so he asked.

"Well, cooking is late today."

Liu Changli looked dissatisfied, and he raised his voice a lot and said:

"What time does my son get out of school? He hasn't eaten yet. What do you do at home every day? You even forget to cook. What else can you do? You can't survive in society like this. I'm the only one who indulges you."

Zhou Leng opened the door and looked at the arrogant man. He was wearing a black suit and his hair was sprayed with hairspray. He looked cheap and sophisticated. The man seemed out of place in this simple home.

Liu Changli saw the door open, he smiled and said: "Son, how was your day? Look at what your mother can do. Are you hungry? What will happen if there is no father in this family? Your mother will starve to death."

Zhou Leng listened to the other person's words. He thought of his original self who had been educated by his father. That was why he looked down on his mother and verbally attacked her, thinking that she was the most useless burden in the family.

"Dad, I'm hungry. Let's eat first."

"Hey, let's eat first."

The family of three ate quietly, and the man had always been a good father in front of Liu Zimo.

At night, Zhou Leng closed his eyes in his room.

The conversation in the next room could be vaguely heard.

Tao Yan stood by the bed with her teeth gritted. She lowered her head and clenched her fists and said, "I thought about it today. Let's get a divorce. Divorce!"

Liu Changli raised his head and looked at the woman viciously. He quickly came to the woman's side and raised his hand. Thinking that his son was still at home, he said softly but viciously:

"Don't think I won't beat you just because our son is at home. You still dare to ask for a divorce from me. Look in the mirror and see what you look like. Who else would want you except me? If I hadn't married you, you wouldn't have found a man until now."

"Half of the property after marriage belongs to me. I want to divorce you." Tao Yan raised her head and looked at the man timidly but firmly.

Snapped.

Liu Changli raised his hand and slapped the woman's face mercilessly. He said disdainfully: "Don't be shameless. My son is asleep. I won't bother with you. Just try to say one more word. Think about your son. You want him to see us quarreling. Aren't you afraid that he will have a psychological trauma?"

Tao Yan looked towards the door timidly, she covered her face and lowered her head.

The man snorted coldly and turned to lie on the bed, but after a moment he started snoring.

Tao Yan just looked at the man's back. She wanted to pick up a knife and kill the man, but in the end she did nothing.

next morning.

When Zhou Leng opened his eyes, he saw Liu Changli with a smile on his face. He said:

"Good son, don't go to school today. Dad has asked for a day off for you. You can stay at home with your mother. Your mother told Dad yesterday that she wanted a divorce. Please help persuade her, like before. Dad will take you to eat hamburgers in the evening."

Zhou Leng imitated his original self and nodded gently.
