Chapter 442: Cheating with His Own Wife
The woman glared at Lin Qiupu and said, “If I find that bitch, I’ll kill her and him together.”
Lin Qiupu asked the man, “Can I check your phone?”
Chen Shi’s voice came over the radio, “Are you crazy? If you find anything, that man’s life is over… Why not use my method?”
“Shut up!”
The man, though nervous, handed over his phone. Lin Qiupu started flipping through the photos and showed one to the man. “When and where was this taken?”
“At the Sichuan hotpot place outside the complex. Honey, we went there together, remember?”
“I don’t remember!”
Lin Qiupu found another photo and asked, “When was this taken?”
“On our wedding anniversary!”
Lin Qiupu asked the woman, “Do you remember this?”
The woman looked confused, “I don’t remember this photo…”
“We bought flowers that day, went out to eat, and took this picture under a tower on the way back. Don’t you remember?”
“Shut up!”
Outside, Chen Shi was surprised. “This is actually working. Lin Qiupu has some brains after all.”
Lin Qiupu continued browsing the phone cautiously, ready to delete any incriminating photos. Fortunately, there were none. Then, he found a photo of the woman in lingerie and showed it to her. “Do you remember this?”
The woman was shocked. Covering her head with her left hand, she started shaking. Suddenly, her voice and tone changed to a sweet, “Honey!”
Her husband was overjoyed. “Put the gun down, honey.”
“What gun?” She looked down, screamed, and stepped back. Lin Qiupu almost rushed to take the gun but restrained himself.
He said, “It looks like you remember now. You have a split personality. The so-called affair is nonexistent. If there is another woman, it’s you.”
“Split personality…” Her husband was shocked. “I thought she just had a bad memory.”
The woman stared wide-eyed at Lin Qiupu. He said, “Put the gun down. It’s over now. Don’t worry, no one will arrest you.”
“I… I cheated with my husband? I cheated with my husband? I cheated with my husband!” As she repeated this, her tone changed back, and she slapped herself. “Bitch, I’ll kill you!”
The other personality said, “You’re so unreasonable and unattractive. No wonder your husband doesn’t like you.”
The woman screamed, “You don’t get to seduce my husband! Go find your own man, you cheating cat! Bitch! Slut!”
The alternate personality giggled, “He hates you because you’re always crazy. He likes gentle women like me. He loves me, buys me food, clothes, and we make love every time. You haven’t slept with him in months, have you?”
“Get out of my body!”
The police were stunned. What was happening? She was arguing with herself.
Her husband tried to mediate, “Stop arguing, both of you are my wife!”
She screamed, “No way! I won’t share you with that bitch!”
She aimed the gun at her husband, but her left hand grabbed her right, pulling the gun upward. It seemed like the two personalities were controlling different parts of her body. The gun fired, hitting the ceiling. The recoil made her stumble. Lin Qiupu seized the moment, grabbed her wrist, and forcibly disarmed her.
The alternate personality screamed, “Honey, this man is taking advantage of me. Help!”
The woman yelled, “Let go! I’ll kill him and then that bitch!”
She bit Lin Qiupu’s arm, but he managed to wrest the gun from her and pushed her away. “Get in here and restrain her!” he ordered.
As the police rushed in, they saw her thrashing on the floor, pulling her hair, biting her hand, and slapping herself. The two personalities were fighting for control.
“Your husband loves me! You should disappear, old hag!”
“I’ll tear your mouth off! Bitch, I’ll kill myself so you can’t live either!”
“Try it, crazy woman!”
“Die!”
She slammed her head into the floor, making a painful sound. Blood streamed from her forehead. Her husband rushed over and cradled her. “Honey, are you okay?”
She opened her eyes, looking delicate. She hugged his neck, “I’m scared. That crazy woman wants to kill me!”
“It’s okay, she’s gone. I’ll protect you!”
“You’re the best.” She kissed him.
The police watched, dumbfounded. Lin Qiupu asked, “You knew about this?”
The man hesitated, then nodded.
“Why didn’t you say anything?”
“She wouldn’t believe it. She’s so neurotic, I fell out of love with her long ago. I used to tell her if she were half as good as the women on TV, I’d be happy. One day, she changed, becoming my ideal wife. I treated her with all my love, but she’d switch back to her old self, and we’d fight. I consulted a specialist and learned it was split personality. I prefer this version of her. When the other woman appears, I avoid and placate her. But today, she suddenly pulled out a gun, and that happened.”
Chen Shi remarked, “Cheating with your own wife must be thrilling.”
The man smiled sheepishly. The woman hugged him, saying sweetly, “Every woman wants to be the one pampered in private. I’m happy even without a title.”
“You are my wife! That crazy woman is the extra.”
“Yes, she’s the shameless mistress.”
“When I save enough, we’ll get the best psychiatric treatment to make her disappear.”
“Then you’ll be mine forever.”
They flirted and cuddled, making everyone cringe. Chen Shi thought the husband’s desire had caused the wife’s split personality. The root of the problem was deep and hard to eradicate.
As they left, Lin Dongxue mused, “Do all men have an ideal wife in their minds?”
Chen Shi replied, “Not just men. Everyone has an ideal partner.”
They all glanced back at the broken window, worried that the family’s future arguments would be even more intense. They hoped the family would find a solution soon.
