Chapter 918 - Hear a Story (1/2)

He did not want himself to guess. He wanted to hear it, hear the truth—hear a story.

…

“Daddy…”

Once Xia Yixuan saw Xia Mingzheng, she pounced into his arms. She was really frightened this time. That woman was a lunatic, and she had almost died.

“It’s okay now.” Xia Mingzheng patted Xia Yixuan’s shoulders and felt that she was still as small and weak as the young child he had to carry in his arms in the past.

“Daddy, that woman is crazy. She’s a lunatic.” Xia Yixuan hugged Xia Mingzheng and wailed loudly. “She wanted me dead.”

When Xia Mingzheng heard that, he really wanted to go to the Lu family and debate with them again to get that woman out. He wanted her to try the exact same method for her to understand his hatred. Since young, his daughter had never suffered this much.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely avenge you.” Xia Mingzheng comforted his daughter. This incident would not be settled so easily. Even though Xia Mingzheng was not very famous, he was not a nobody; and the people in his Xia household would not be so easily bullied.

Xia Yixuan’s red lips curved up. Of course, she was no longer afraid. Perhaps that woman—Lu Xiaohua—was already dead. How did she die? She committed suicide out of guilt. Besides, even if they investigated it, she was not the one that killed her; it was Chu Lui.

However, she knitted her eyebrows again. Up till now, she still did not know why Lu Xiaohua would hate her so much. Was it really because of Chu Lui? Did Lu Xiaohua like Chu Lui, too? Her instincts told her that this reason was very possible.

Could it really be because Lu Xiaohua liked Chu Lui and wanted to eliminate her, who was a thorn in her side? However, it did not seem very possible but was the only logical explanation.

Xia Yixuan lay down. They had the best doctors and best nurses here, and she was also staying in the best ward. Of course, the most important thing was that Chu Lui would come over and visit her every day.

When no one was around, she whipped out her phone and secretly made a call. “Have you done the thing I told you to?”

Half a day later, the person on the other end said, “I’ve done it, of course. Don’t worry. I have found the person a place, and I’ve handled it cleanly. No one will know about it. Can you give me the money now?”

“Don’t worry, I won’t give you any less.” Xia Yixuan hung up and threw her phone aside. She could rest without worry. Since she had killed one, she should do another. Who would know? Lu Xiaohua also said herself that no one could find that place. Then, she would return that sentence to her. No one could find that place, and so no one would know what she did, right?

At this point when she was resting without worry, she did not know the man she had just called spat on the floor. “B*tch, you gave me the money so late. Even if I went there for nothing and couldn’t find the person, I deserve every bit of this money.”

…

Hospitals were usually very quiet and void of unnecessary noises. The normal wards were still okay, and the few patients could even play mahjong together. However, in the intensive care unit, none of them were thinking about anything else. All of them were just hoping that the patient inside could quickly pass the critical period safely.

The forty-eight hours of the critical period were going to be over soon.
