“What a devoted man! This guy is nothing but scum!” Xiao Xiaoxiao stood in the crowd, loudly addressing the onlookers.
This scumbag Zhou really had some tricks up his sleeve. Not only did he evade police investigation half a year ago when they received a tip to rescue Qingxue, but he also managed to earn himself a reputation as a devoted lover while coming to the hospital to harm Qingxue!
Ugh! Shameless!
Xiao Xiaoxiao glared fiercely at Zhou Dao and said to the crowd, “Don’t be fooled by this scumbag! His whole ‘devoted boyfriend’ act is just a facade!
Half a year ago, he was greedy for wealth and tried to dig out his girlfriend’s heart to transplant it into another woman!”
“Young lady, you need evidence to back up your words. I’ve been in this hospital for months!
Besides us patients, all the doctors and nurses here know how diligently Xiao Zhou has been taking care of his comatose girlfriend!”
An elderly man in his seventies, wearing a hospital gown, frowned as he spoke.
“Grandpa!” Xiao Xiaoxiao looked at the old man and said, “Evil people are the best at disguising themselves to deceive good people…
Do any of you know that he wasn’t here to take care of my friend at all?
He came to the hospital with the intention of slowly killing her!”
“Young lady, you need evidence!” Some people still refused to believe that what they’d witnessed firsthand wasn’t the truth.
Among them, some long-term patients with chronic illnesses were quite familiar with Zhou Dao.
This young man appeared gentle and refined, always greeting them with a smile—polite and generous.
A few elderly women who frequently stayed in the hospital had even considered introducing their granddaughters to him if his girlfriend didn’t make it!
“Rare is the man of true devotion…”
In their eyes, Zhou Dao had been that rare devoted man.
In today’s society, how many young people would stay by their comatose, nearly vegetative girlfriend’s side, caring for her without abandoning her?!
“Evidence?” Xiao Xiaoxiao’s gaze swept coldly over those deceived by Zhou Dao as she enunciated each word: “Does the victim’s final lucid moment before death, where she woke up and spoke the truth herself, count as evidence?”
Her words fell like a stone into still water.
Every pair of eyes turned to Officer Li, who was in charge of Yun Qingxue’s case. He often appeared at the hospital, so long-term patients and their families were familiar with him.
“Officer, is what this young lady said true?” someone couldn’t help but ask for confirmation.
“Yes. The victim woke up, identified Zhou Dao, and then passed away…” Officer Li’s tone was heavy.
With the investigator’s confirmation, those who had previously sided with Zhou Dao stood frozen, as if struck by lightning.
“You all only saw this scumbag taking care of my friend every day, but none of you knew that every time she showed signs of waking up, he secretly injected her with drugs to keep her unconscious.
None of you knew that, afraid his crimes would be exposed, he made sure she fell back into a coma unnoticed every time she tried to wake up!
He was terrified—terrified that she’d wake up and expose his atrocities. He wanted to kill her, but with the police involved, her sudden death would trigger an investigation.
So, under the guise of caring for her, he plotted to slowly kill her day by day!
And…” Xiao Xiaoxiao smirked sarcastically, looking at the crowd. “You probably don’t know this, but the only reason my friend ever got involved with this scumbag was because she saved his life when he was a child after an accident!
But my foolish friend never imagined that the person she saved would turn out to be a heartless, ungrateful snake—one who’d conspire with others to carve out her heart for wealth and kill his own savior!”
The crowd was stunned by Xiao Xiaoxiao’s relentless revelations.
The man they’d all believed to be good was actually so vile and despicable…
The sudden collapse of their perception left them disoriented.
“She’s a monster! She deserved to die! She’s a freak!” Zhou Dao suddenly screamed like a madman, his eyes wild as he glared at the crowd surrounding him. “None of you knew, did you? That Yun Qingxue was a monster! Her body was abnormal—she had an insane ability to heal! No matter how severe her injuries, they’d vanish by the next day!
She wasn’t human! She was a monster! She deserved to die!”
“Zhou Dao…” Yun Qingxue cast a spell to make her invisible form visible to him. She had hated him for betraying her for wealth, but she’d never imagined that, in his eyes, she had always been nothing but a monster…
Always a monster…
Zhou Dao’s eyes widened in terror as he stared at Yun Qingxue, then began screaming hysterically again: “A ghost! A ghost!”
He kicked his legs wildly, his handcuffed wrists thrashing. “Ghost! Yun Qingxue! You haunted me when you were alive, and now you won’t leave me alone in death!
Yun Qingxue, you freak, get away from me!”
“Get away?” Yun Qingxue narrowed her eyes, slowly advancing toward him, her voice icy. “If I recall correctly, this worthless life of yours was saved by me…
Though your life is so cheap it’s practically worthless, I’ve decided I won’t let you keep it. Because even a lowly, rotten life like yours isn’t worth my mercy!”
With that, Yun Qingxue stretched her fingers toward Zhou Dao. Suddenly, her nails elongated into sharp, claw-like points—like those of a vengeful ghost.
“Ah—! Stay away! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die!”
Zhou Dao let out a bloodcurdling scream. Perhaps fear triggered his survival instincts, because he suddenly broke free from Officer Li’s grip and bolted through the crowd.
“I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die!” he muttered in terror, sprinting toward the stairwell.
Officer Li immediately gave chase, but all he heard was a sudden, agonized cry.
In his panic, Zhou Dao missed a step and tumbled down the stairs, his head smashing violently against the wall. His eyes remained wide open.
Xiao Xiaoxiao and Yun Qingxue stood at the stairwell entrance, watching as a faint wisp of smoke slowly rose from Zhou Dao’s lifeless body.
“He’s dead…” Xiao Xiaoxiao said expressionlessly, using telepathy to speak to Yun Qingxue. In her eyes, a scumbag like him should’ve died long ago.
“Qingxue, you know…
When I possessed your modern body earlier, I realized just how weak it had become. As a ghost, my intuition tells me your body was poisoned—slowly.
So when I accused Zhou Dao of poisoning you, it wasn’t baseless…
In this entire hospital, he was the one with both motive and opportunity.
So don’t feel guilty for scaring him to death. He got what he deserved—his death was long overdue.”
Yun Qingxue smiled faintly. Invisible to all but Xiao Xiaoxiao, she spoke aloud: “I know. Thank you, Xiaoxiao. Now that he’s dead, the grudge between us is settled. I have no family in this world, so there’s nothing left for me here…
Let’s go back.”
