"Pfft!"
Du Peilin struggled for a while before breaking free from Si Jiangchen's grasp.
"What's so great about it?"
He glared at Si Jiangchen discontentedly, then winked at me and said, "Zhou Wei and Wu Mingyu! It's about time they got their just deserts!"
"Oh!"
I had just returned from a trip to the Underworld in the Future Water World, feeling as if I had lived another life. Now back in the real world, I still felt like I was in a dream!
Zhou Wei was that scumbag who forced his wife to drink paraquat for a woman from a brothel.
He was angry at the young nurse Li Li because he thought his wife suffered during the gastric lavage, and ended up killing her in an unmanned convenience store...
His wife turned into a fierce ghost to take revenge on him and poured a whole bottle of paraquat into his mouth.
Du Peilin offered to save Zhou Wei's life for three million yuan!
For this purpose, we found Wu Mingyu, who was also tormented by a fierce ghost. She was the so-called "princess" who seduced Zhou Wei into divorcing his wife. As long as she took good care of Zhou Wei for a week and kept the talisman on his head safe, Zhou Wei could avoid being captured by the Underworld and live until his natural death.
However... it had only been three days at most, and Du Peilin was already so eager to collect the money?!
"Are we going now? Didn't we agree on a week?" I asked in surprise.
"People like them won't wait for a week. Wu Mingyu is waiting to go back to work at the Grand Feast!" Du Peilin smiled like a fox. "Three million yuan split in half between me and her is not enough for her to squander!"
I looked at Du Wenzhong on the hospital bed, who was hiding under the quilt and secretly peeping at me. I sighed softly, "I won't go. I have to take him home."
After learning about those past events, I felt even more sorry for A Wen. He had suffered so much for me, and now he was almost wiped out because of me!
I wanted to repay him well and make up for all he had done for me over the years.
Suddenly, Si Jiangchen behind me put his hand on my shoulder. "Go. Everything should have a beginning and an end."
I looked at him in confusion.
"Leave everything here to me!" Si Jiangchen glanced at Du Wenzhong on the bed. The old man immediately buried his head back under the quilt in fear.
"Let's go!" Du Peilin was so excited at the thought of the upcoming millions that he almost skipped out of the ward.
Zhou Wei had drunk paraquat, so he wouldn't be sent to an ordinary ward. The critical care unit in the emergency room was where he was now.
It was similar to an ICU, but it was a single room.
When we got there, we found that the ward was empty.
"Miss Nurse." Du Peilin casually stopped a passing nurse and pointed at the ward. "Where's the patient here? Why is he gone?"
"Oh... the one who drank paraquat!" The nurse thought for a while before remembering Zhou Wei. "His wife thought it was too expensive to stay in the critical care unit, so she discharged him and took him home."
"What?! Discharged?!" Du Peilin and I looked at each other and exclaimed in unison. "Is she taking him home to wait for death?"
Paraquat is a special targeted drug. In the fields, it only kills weeds, and in the human body, it only targets one place - the lungs. Even if the patient has a gastric lavage in time, it won't help.
It only gives those who drink it time to regret, but no chance to live!
In at most a week, the lungs of those who drink paraquat will become as hard as stones and lose their elasticity. All the alveoli will die, and they won't be able to breathe in air. They will suffocate to death!
The reason Du Peilin and I asked Zhou Wei to stay here was to make sure he could be rescued if something went wrong.
Who would have thought that Wu Mingyu was so heartless that she could persuade him to go home for recuperation?!
The special care unit in the critical care unit only cost about a thousand yuan a day, but Wu Mingyu didn't even want to spend this much money on Zhou Wei!
I shook my head and sighed. It seemed that Zhou Wei had absolutely no chance of surviving.
Du Peilin seemed to have a plan. He took out his phone and called Zhou Wei.
"Beep beep beep..." After a few rings, it was Wu Mingyu's voice that answered. "M... Master Du, what do you want?"
"Where... where are you?" Du Peilin couldn't help swearing. "Wu Mingyu, what do you mean? Do you want to take all the money for yourself?"
On the other end of the phone, Wu Mingyu didn't show any weakness either. She started scolding right away. "I just want to take all the money for myself. What can you do about it? Let me tell you, Zhou Wei is with me now. He won't get anything to eat until he transfers the money to me! So... you're useless now!! Don't even think about the money! Hahaha..."
"Where... where are you now?" Du Peilin's words were cut off when Wu Mingyu hung up the phone.
Du Peilin rolled his eyes. "Damn it, that bitch! I knew she was no good!"
I couldn't help laughing. "What should we do now? Wait for her to come to you?"
"Of course. I'm a master! How could I not have a way to deal with such a villain?" Du Peilin's face was filled with a faint sneer as he led me out of the inpatient building.
It was already noon. The sun shone through the overlapping green leaves, forming dazzling light spots on the ground.
"Noon is the perfect time for fierce ghosts to appear!" I looked at the sky and smiled.
When Du Peilin was bargaining with those two scumbags, I saw Zhou Wei's wife, who had drunk paraquat and committed suicide. There was a soul-attracting talisman on her head, exactly the same as the one on Zhou Wei's forehead.
With that talisman, the ghost catchers from the Underworld usually wouldn't interfere.
They were like the police in the Underworld. At a certain time, the soul-attracting talisman would naturally lead the ghost to the Underworld.
Moreover, the soul-attracting talisman had a special property. No matter how far away it was, it could be controlled by the person who drew it.
Now that Zhou Wei wasn't dead yet, the only one Du Peilin could command was Zhou Wei's wife, whose face was hideous with blood oozing from her seven orifices!
Sure enough, Du Peilin stood under the shade of a tree, lazily making a hand gesture and muttering something. Then he casually pointed with his finger and said to me, "Let's go, Xiao He. Let's go watch a satisfying revenge and face-slapping drama!"
"Okay!" I knew that Zhou Wei was a scumbag who deserved to be punished. I wanted to see how he would be tortured by his wife... no, it should be Wu Mingyu, his so-called "lover"!
I wondered if his wife's resentment would fade a little when she saw Zhou Wei being tortured.
Du Peilin's finger was like a locator, pointing at a dilapidated apartment building outside the hospital. "Let's go and take a look!"
It turned out that Wu Mingyu was quite smart. She was afraid that Zhou Wei would suddenly die, so she rented a room in a civilian house near the hospital. In case Zhou Wei was in danger, they could rush to the hospital immediately!
