“If I die, please make sure justice is served for me. Don’t let this scumbag, this murderer who repaid kindness with betrayal, roam free… free… from the law!”
With the last word spoken, the person on the hospital bed closed their eyes again.
The heart rate monitor beside the bed emitted a piercing alarm. The fluctuating line on the screen turned into a flat, lifeless line…
Xiao Xiaoxiao emerged from the lifeless body and stood invisibly beside Yun Qingxue, who had taken on her appearance.
Together, they watched as the doctors performed emergency resuscitation on the body on the bed, only to sigh helplessly in the end and drape a white cloth over its head.
“Officer Li, we did our best…” the doctor said sorrowfully.
“Wuuu~” Yun Qingxue burst into tears, and the invisible Xiao Xiaoxiao silently embraced her…
Perhaps it was good to finally let out the pain of the past.
Officer Li watched Yun Qingxue, who was crying uncontrollably, and shook his head with a sigh, assuming her grief was due to the loss of a dear friend.
He strode over to Zhou Dao and coldly snapped handcuffs onto his wrists. “Mr. Zhou, we now suspect you of murder. Please come with me for questioning!”
“I didn’t do it!” Zhou Dao shouted, his emotions running high…
He couldn’t understand. He had been so careful, so meticulous—how could Yun Qingxue have woken up?
Why? Why didn’t she just die? Why did she have to wake up at the last moment and expose everything?
“Miss Xiao, please accept my condolences,” Officer Li said, approaching the weeping Yun Qingxue with a sigh.
Yun Qingxue stood up and looked at Officer Li calmly. “This friend of mine… because of her unique constitution, she was targeted by the Lin family while she was alive…
Now that she’s gone, and she has no family, I’ve taken the liberty of deciding to donate her body…”
“Understood,” Officer Li nodded.
“It’s you! You framed me!” Zhou Dao, still handcuffed, suddenly lunged forward like a madman, his face twisted with rage as he pointed at Yun Qingxue. “You set me up!”
Yun Qingxue smirked coldly and said lightly, “Good and evil will always be repaid, Zhou Dao. This is your retribution!
Though I must admit, I admire your persistence.
Even now, you still refuse to admit your crimes.
Let me give you a piece of advice—walk the night long enough, and you’ll meet a ghost…
You harmed Qingxue so cruelly in life. Be careful… her spirit might come back to claim your life!”
Her last words were spoken softly, almost airily.
But to Zhou Dao, they sounded like the summons of a demon. He stumbled backward in terror, his eyes widening as he stared at the space beside Yun Qingxue before collapsing to the ground.
“Ghost! A ghost!” Zhou Dao shrieked, scrambling backward on the floor, screaming hysterically.
“Help! There’s a ghost! A ghost!”
Yun Qingxue turned in surprise to her side, where the invisible Xiao Xiaoxiao had suddenly transformed into a ghastly figure—long, disheveled hair, a face smeared with blood, and crimson tears streaming from her eyes.
Step by step, she slowly advanced toward Zhou Dao, her voice icy and filled with resentment.
“Zhou Dao… give me back my life…
Zhou Dao… didn’t you want my heart?
Here, I’ll dig it out for you!”
As she spoke, Xiao Xiaoxiao plunged her hand into her own chest and forcefully pulled out…
A vivid, still-beating heart, dripping with fresh blood.
With a grotesque smile, she drifted toward Zhou Dao, her outstretched hand offering the heart.
“Come on… isn’t this what you wanted? Take it… hehehe…”
“Ghost! A ghost!” Zhou Dao screamed, summoning some unknown burst of strength as he scrambled to his feet and bolted out of the ward in a panic.
“Hahahaha… what a coward!” Xiao Xiaoxiao reverted to her original form and laughed wildly.
Officer Li frowned. Since Xiao Xiaoxiao’s illusion had only been visible to Zhou Dao, the officer found his sudden hysteria utterly baffling.
Yun Qingxue shook her head helplessly. She knew Xiao Xiaoxiao was just venting her anger for her…
But that ghostly transformation earlier… had been genuinely terrifying.
Even horror movies paled in comparison! This girl… really didn’t hold back when it came to revenge.
Yun Qingxue couldn’t help but recall their first meeting, when Xiao Xiaoxiao, to prove she was a ghost, had casually removed her own head—without any regard for Yun Qingxue’s feelings!
Looking back now, compared to the spectacle she had just put on for Zhou Dao, Xiao Xiaoxiao’s first impression had been downright polite.
Officer Li only hesitated for a moment at Zhou Dao’s bizarre behavior before turning and chasing after him.
After all, the victim had personally identified Zhou Dao before her death. He was now a prime suspect, and Officer Li couldn’t let him escape—nor could he allow him to come to harm.
If Zhou Dao had truly committed evil, he had to face justice.
“Let’s go too!” Xiao Xiaoxiao nudged Yun Qingxue. “A scumbag like that deserves to be torn to pieces to satisfy my hatred!”
Yun Qingxue couldn’t help but laugh. Though she was the one who had suffered deeply at Zhou Dao’s hands, Xiao Xiaoxiao seemed to hate him even more than she did…
“Let’s go! You’ve worked hard enough, Xiao. This time, I’ll take care of that trash—you just sit back and enjoy the show!”
“Deal!” Xiao Xiaoxiao snapped her fingers. Some grudges had to be settled personally.
Zhou Dao fled the ward in a blind panic, rushing toward the hospital stairwell.
With handcuffs on his wrists and the look of a desperate fugitive, anyone who saw him immediately assumed he was a prisoner trying to escape during a medical visit.
Officer Li gave chase, while Yun Qingxue and Xiao Xiaoxiao reverted to their true forms—Yun Qingxue now invisible, following beside Xiao Xiaoxiao as they pursued him.
“Stop!” Two family members of other patients stepped forward, intercepting Zhou Dao’s frantic dash and blocking his path.
“There’s a ghost… a ghost!” Zhou Dao’s eyes bulged as he stared at the two young men holding him back, his words bordering on madness.
“A ghost! A ghost!”
“Zhou Dao!” Officer Li caught up, his expression stern. He refused to believe a grown man could suddenly lose his mind over something as absurd as ghosts.
As a staunch materialist, he had no patience for supernatural nonsense.
“Enough with the act. I advise you to come quietly to the station for questioning!”
“What’s going on here?”
“I recognize this young man—wasn’t he the boyfriend of that girl who was in a coma?”
“Yeah, he’s been by her side every day for the past six months. Everyone in this hospital knows him!”
“Why is the officer arresting him? What could this polite young man have done?”
The onlookers murmured and pointed, their voices rising in speculation.
