Xu Chenyang smiled sinisterly and readily admitted, "That's right. I spotted you last night when you were chasing that female ghost into the mental hospital. Since you're so interested in me and everything in the mental hospital, I might as well lure you here and let you know my secret."
Chu Yu's heart was pounding.
It turns out that he had been monitoring everything she did all along, and he even used a scheme to lure her here. This despicable man is truly cunning, treacherous, and scheming.
Since that's the case, she had nothing more to hold back and asked, "What kind of drug are you developing?"
Seeing that she had fallen into his trap, Xu Chenyang stopped hiding his intentions and frankly said, "I am developing a miraculous drug that can quickly heal injuries and keep people young forever."
I learned the recipe and method for making this miraculous medicine from an ancient book. It uses more than a dozen special medicinal herbs, with the blood of a young woman as the main ingredient, and the soul of a young man is infused into it. It is then refined in a specially made alchemy furnace for forty-nine days to produce the pill.
I have been conducting continuous research and experimentation over the past few years, and have achieved some results so far, but I have not yet achieved complete success.
The medicine I'm currently concocting only has a short-term effect; it requires frequent use to maintain its effectiveness. This is a drawback and needs improvement.
Chu Yu understood. Last night, Lin Xiaoxiao asked him if the new drug had been developed. It turned out that the drug was short-acting and needed to be taken frequently.
After giving him a sharp look, Chu Yu asked, "You're also a cultivator, aren't you?"
When she first met Xu Chenyang, she sensed that his aura was different from that of ordinary people, and guessed that he was a Taoist practitioner.
Xu Chenran and Chu Yu exchanged a glance, and Xu Chenran smiled and said, "Yes, I studied Taoist magic in a Taoist temple for ten years when I was a child. However, my master disliked my learning of some unorthodox Taoist magic and said that I was not on the right path. When I was eighteen, he kicked me out of the Taoist temple."
Chu Yu snorted coldly and continued, "After you were expelled from the Taoist temple, you took the college entrance examination and got into a top-tier medical university, where you met a beautiful, rich, and beautiful senior."
In your quest to advance your career, you relentlessly pursued that senior, and she eventually won you over and started dating you.
After graduation, you married your senior, whose parents gave you their full support, allowing your career to soar within just a few years. Later, you became the director of that mental hospital, gaining status, wealth, and power, and then you began to despise your wife who had stood by you through thick and thin.
After the deaths of your parents-in-law, you secretly had an affair with the actress Lin Xiaoxiao. Not only that, you also ruthlessly plotted to murder your wife, while simultaneously purchasing a huge insurance policy, hoping to extract a massive payout from her through her death and squeeze every last drop of value from her.
Upon hearing these words, Xu Chenyang couldn't help but look at her with newfound respect: "You're quite clever; you actually guessed my past experiences."
Looking at his nonchalant demeanor, Chu Yu secretly scoffed at him before guessing, "The female ghost who escaped into the mental hospital last night was your wife, wasn't she?"
While waiting in the woods during the day, Chu Yu specifically searched for information about Xu Chenyang online. She found a photo of Xu Chenyang's wife, whose appearance was very similar to that of the female ghost.
Later, Tao Susu told her that Xu Chenyang's wife had been missing for a month and that he had bought her a huge insurance policy. She immediately guessed that the female ghost was Xu Chenyang's wife who had been murdered.
Seeing that Chu Yu had revealed the truth, Xu Chenyang raised an eyebrow and praised sarcastically, "You guessed it all. You're much smarter than the last metaphysician who followed me here."
Upon hearing him mention the metaphysician, Chu Yu immediately thought of Sima Mingchao and said coldly, "That metaphysician is Sima Mingchao, right? You tricked him into coming here, fell into your ambush, had a part of his soul and spirit extracted from him, and turned him into a mental patient. Then you locked him up in a mental hospital and kept him under surveillance."
Xu Chenyang nodded: "You guessed right. If he hadn't meddled, he wouldn't have suffered such a disaster. Blame him for overestimating his abilities."
Chu Yu rolled her eyes at him: "Pah! He was too careless and that's why he fell for your trick!"
Thinking of the female ghost, she said coldly, "Last night, after that female ghost ran into the mental hospital, you caught her and hid her, didn't you?"
She searched the mental hospital several times but couldn't find the female ghost. Tao Susu sneaked in but couldn't find her either. So there's only one possibility: she was captured and hidden by someone else.
Xu Chenyang smirked and said in a gloomy tone, "Yes, I'm the one who captured that female ghost."
He pulled a small bottle from his pocket, threw it on the ground with disgust, and the bottle exploded with a bang, a plume of black smoke rose up, and transformed into a female ghost.
When the female ghost saw Xu Chenyang, she angrily cursed, "You despicable man, you killed me and now you want to make my soul disappear! I'll fight you to the death!"
She lunged forward menacingly, only to be slapped to the ground by Xu Chenyang. Seeing that she couldn't defeat him, the female ghost covered her face and cried bitterly with resentment.
"I've been married to you for ten years, given birth to your children, and taken care of the family. My parents have also done everything they could to help you. Everything you have today is thanks to our family. How could you treat me like this? You deserve to be struck by lightning and sent to the deepest hell."
Xu Chenyang rolled his eyes at her, his face full of disgust: "I married into your family, and the children you have will take your surname. How dare you say you bore children for me?"
And your parents, although they helped me, they often bullied me, which was utterly despicable. As for you, you have such a spoiled princess attitude; if I don't do what you want, you give me attitude. I've long since grown to loathe your whole family; you all deserve to die, you deserve to go to hell.
Hearing him say such heartless words, the female ghost was heartbroken and furious.
