"Ah!!!"
The little ghost that suddenly appeared right in front of her face made Wu Mingyu scream in terror.
"If you don't come with me, you're doomed," I said coldly, smiling at her. If it weren't for Du Peilin's promise to help me deal with the One - Eyed Buddha Mother hidden in the hospital, I wouldn't have bothered wasting my breath on such a person.
"Du Xinghe, stop him from scaring me. I'll go with you! Isn't that okay?"
Others couldn't see the little ghost. They only saw Wu Mingyu tugging at her hair and struggling desperately.
I just found this woman, who refused a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, laughable. After all this fuss, she still had to go back with me in the end.
...
"I heard you've been taking care of your grandpa recently," Wu Mingyu said as we got on the subway back to the hospital. I had already taken back the little ghost on her. In the brightly - lit and crowded subway station, she grew a bit bolder. "What about that cold - looking CEO who's always after you? Why doesn't he even assign you a private car?"
She still had the mind to ask around.
I looked at the face of the female ghost with blood all over it reflected on the subway carriage window less than half a meter away from her. I couldn't help but mutter to myself.
I wondered how Du Peilin had communicated with Zhou Wei's unjustly - dead wife. Now she seemed to be just a spectator, staring maliciously at the protagonist of this farce!
This Du Peilin was really blinded by money. He was so fixated on Zhou Wei's demolition money that he gave him a chance to live.
If it were me... Humph!
Looking at the miserable state of the female ghost outside the window, I'm afraid I would have just let this female ghost kill all the villains who had caused her death!
When we got back to the hospital, Zhou Wei had been transferred to a single - person ward since he had regained consciousness.
This was arranged by the mental hospital. Although everyone knew that a person who had ingested paraquat, no matter how normal they seemed now, would inevitably die in a week or two.
However, as an aggressive patient, it was necessary to isolate Zhou Wei.
In the single - person ward, I had the "pleasure" of witnessing Wu Mingyu's Oscar - worthy acting skills.
Although she was extremely annoyed by Zhou Wei, she could still burst into tears, throw herself at him, kiss and hug him, and choke out that she didn't care at all about being injured by Zhou Wei with a wine bottle in the club. She even said that she had gone to visit him after hearing that he was sent to the mental hospital... but she was turned away at that time, and she had cried for a long time looking at the high hospital wall.
I didn't know if this was true or not, but for Zhou Wei, it was incredibly moving.
It seemed that he really believed that Wu Mingyu was his true love. Only a woman like her, who didn't ask for anything in return and didn't covet his family fortune, was the light in his life!
"Miss Wu, in Zhou Wei's current condition, you need to take care of him for at least half a month..." Du Peilin pulled Wu Mingyu out of the ward while Zhou Wei was on the drip. "Then he can survive."
"Why? Do I have to take care of him for nothing?" Wu Mingyu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and frowned. "Didn't they say that people who drink paraquat will die? How can he possibly survive?"
Du Peilin smiled smugly. "Because he used all his fortune to buy his life!"
"All his fortune? If he lives... he'll be penniless?" Wu Mingyu's face immediately fell. The reason she had acted was just to get some benefits.
Now, hearing what Du Peilin said, it seemed that all her efforts would be in vain. Wouldn't all that acting have been for nothing?
"Handsome guy, are you... a relative of Zhou Wei's family?" Wu Mingyu was prying into the gossip.
Du Peilin smiled like a fox and waved his hand. "Zhou Wei is my client. I'm a Yin - Yang master. I'm waiting for him to transfer the money to me after he recovers."
"Oh..." Wu Mingyu sized up Du Peilin, her eyes full of amorous looks. "What if he doesn't want to transfer the money?"
"If he doesn't, well... I can't do anything about it. It depends on his conscience," Du Peilin shrugged.
"How about we cooperate?" Wu Mingyu reached out and put her hand on Du Peilin's arm. "I'll trick him into transferring the money to you. You don't need to save his life. After he dies, we'll split the money in half. How about it?"
Du Peilin seemed shocked. "That's out of the question. We masters must have professional ethics. I can't do such a bottom - less thing. I can't!!"
Saying that, Du Peilin waved his hand. "You'd better take good care of your boyfriend honestly. As long as he's alive, there'll be a chance to make money in the future... If he's dead, he'll have nothing!"
"... I'm not his girlfriend!!" Wu Mingyu rolled her eyes. "This hick. The money he got from his ancestors' land won't last long. Does he still have a chance to make money? It's really ridiculous!!"
I happened to hear Wu Mingyu's words when I walked to the ward door.
This woman saw things quite clearly. Zhou Wei was just a scoundrel, not worthy of a woman's trust for a lifetime.
However... I suddenly understood what Du Peilin meant!
I was going to see how Wu Mingyu would treat Zhou Wei. I hoped he could also experience the pain of being hurt and betrayed.
I saw Zhou Wei's wife hanging upside down in the corner of the single - person ward. There was a talisman of Du Peilin's on her head, emitting a pale blue light.
When she noticed me looking at her, that poor woman even gave me a creepy smile...
I didn't know how Du Peilin finally convinced Wu Mingyu, but she actually agreed to take care of Zhou Wei.
However, these things had nothing to do with me. I was just responsible for bringing the person to the hospital.
Watching Wu Mingyu happily enter the ward, Du Peilin squinted his eyes with a look of a successful scheme and looked at me. "We can make a lot of money this time... But let's get this straight first. You won't get a share."
"Just help me seal the One - Eyed Buddha Mother," I said.
I had just brought Wu Mingyu here. I was too lazy to get involved in Du Peilin's schemes to play tricks on people. My top priority now was to save people.
Doctor Lu in the hospital, those uncles in my grandpa's ward, and even the whole hospital were in extreme danger.
"No problem," Du Peilin made a gesture.
"Beep beep beep..."
Just then, my phone rang.
"Miss Du..." It was Ji Chen's voice. "I've already made the arrangements. Yang Fan's family members should be here soon. You can contact them then!"
"Thank you, Ji Chen."
I really admired the people around Si Jiangchen. This secretary would probably be a capable person anywhere!
Ji Chen said a few polite words and hung up the phone.
Then a phone number came to my phone. This should be the contact information of Yang Fan's family.
Seeing that the sky was gradually getting dark and night was approaching, I was getting a bit anxious. Du Peilin was being so unreasonable, insisting that I treat him to a meal. I took him to the hospital cafeteria and we had a quick bite. I bought a bowl of millet and Chinese yam porridge for my grandpa, along with two plates of refreshing side dishes, and took them back to the ward.
My grandpa took one bite and started complaining. He insisted on having that delicious salty porridge I had brought last time.
I was sweating nervously. If he knew that it was made by Si Jiangchen, that "little hooligan", I wondered if he would even overturn the table!
