Xing Zhaozhao followed Gao Mingcheng and Xing Zhaoming to the small building next to the sanatorium, and only then did she realize that she and Chen Wei really lived so close to each other. They had been staying at the sanatorium for almost two months. She had always been curious about what this specially isolated small building was used for.
Before entering, Xing Zhaozhao couldn't help but quietly ask Gao Mingcheng, "When the sanatorium was built, was this small building specifically constructed here for this kind of purpose?"
Gao Mingcheng shook his head: "This building was never intended to be open to the public when it was originally built."
Xing Zhaozhao was taken aback: "If it's not open to the public, what was it originally intended for?"
Gao Mingcheng hesitated for a moment, and before he could say anything, the door of the small building, which had been tightly closed, opened, and a high-pitched scream immediately came from inside. The familiar voice made Xing Zhaozhao's scalp tingle.
Chen Hao, his face ashen, strode inside, grabbed a nurse who was wearing noise-canceling headphones, and angrily demanded, "What did you do to her?"
"Huh?" The nurse didn't hear her, took off her headphones, and asked, "What did you say?"
"What did you do to her? Why was she screaming so loudly?" Chen Hao asked again.
The nurse looked innocent: "We didn't do anything. She just wanted to go crazy, and there was nothing we could do. Of course, if her family agrees to gag her, we will consider it as appropriate, provided that the patient is not harmed."
Chen Hao, as a family member: "..." So he misunderstood?
In the short time that followed, upstairs, Chen Wei's first wave of attacks had ended, and she began the second wave, unleashing a torrent of curses. She insulted the ancestors of the Gao family for eighteen generations, and then the Xing family for eighteen generations, not even sparing their own Chen family. She cursed her useless brother for not coming to see her until now, saying he must have been corrupted by the Gao family's sweet talk.
"..." Chen Hao's face turned pale and then red.
The nurse then saw Gao Mingcheng and Xing Zhaoming: "General, Mr. Xing."
"You've come here to see... which one?" She was a little confused.
“We’ve come to see Chen Wei,” Xing Zhaoming said.
The nurse nodded in understanding and led them to Chen Wei's room.
The moment the door opened, Chen Wei's venomous curses abruptly stopped.
"Weiwei!" Chen Hao called out excitedly when he saw Chen Wei.
He found that Chen Wei's current condition was not as bad as he had imagined. Her hair was neatly combed, indicating that she was well taken care of. Her complexion was also quite rosy, and she seemed to be eating well. Her only problem was that her mouth was a little dry, which was simply because she had been talking too much and had no freedom.
Chen Wei thought it was a nurse and was about to lash out with a ferocious expression, but unexpectedly, Chen Hao came in first. She immediately pouted and started crying, "Brother, why did you take so long to come? Take me away from here quickly. I don't want to stay here anymore. If I stay here any longer, I'll go crazy."
It was only then that Chen Hao noticed that although Chen Wei's hands and feet were wrapped with wristbands to prevent chafing, there were still unavoidable abrasions. He was immediately heartbroken.
He immediately stepped forward and untied the bindings on Chen Wei's hands and feet, then turned to glare hatefully at Xing Zhaoming, saying, "Xing Zhaoming, how cruel you are! No matter what, you and Weiwei have been husband and wife for so many years, yet you've been so heartless as to keep her tied up like this..."
Chen Wei followed Chen Hao's gaze and discovered that not only Chen Hao had come, but Xing Zhaoming and Gao Mingcheng had also arrived, and...
She immediately saw Xing Zhaozhao squeeze into the ward from beside Xing Zhaoming and Gao Mingcheng, and her eyes flashed with resentment: "Xing Zhaozhao, it's all your fault! She was already dead, why did you come back? You ruined my happy family, you deserve to die..."
After saying that, Chen Wei grabbed the glass that was still half full of water from the bedside table, smashed it on the edge of the table with a "bang", and then, holding the remaining half, used the sharp glass shards to stab Xing Zhaozhao.
Seeing that things were going badly, Xing Zhaoming tried to step in and shield Xing Zhaozhao with his body, but Xing Zhaozhao pushed him away in disgust.
Before Xing Zhaoming could react, he watched as Xing Zhaozhao grabbed Chen Wei's arm, snatched the remaining half of the cup from her hand, tossed it aside, dragged her back to the bed, pinned her down, and tied her up again.
Chen Hao was also stunned. He was jostled by Xing Zhaozhao and didn't even have time to react.
Xing Zhaozhao crossed her arms and looked down at Chen Wei: "After all these years, you really haven't changed at all. You're still so selfish and self-serving, and you don't know how to reflect on yourself. I regret agreeing to Chen Hao's request to use that favor to get my brother to compromise, leaving you, this ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment, by my brother's side."
Chen Hao: "??!!" What the heck?
Xing Zhaoming: "??!?!" Is that really true?
Chen Wei: "??!!"
"I don't know what you're talking about," Chen Wei said impatiently.
"Do you want to get out of here?" Xing Zhaozhao asked.
Chen Wei looked at her warily: "What do you want to do?"
“Set my brother free, and I’ll set you free,” Xing Zhaozhao said.
Before Chen Wei could say anything, Xing Zhaoming objected, saying, "No, I disagree."
Everyone present couldn't help but look at Xing Zhaoming in surprise. What was going on this time?
Chen Wei laughed triumphantly: "See, your brother still loves me. Now it's him who doesn't want to divorce me."
Xing Zhaozhao ignored her and only looked at Xing Zhaoming, asking in confusion, "Why?"
Xing Zhaoming stared intently at Xing Zhaozhao and said, "She knows too much. It's too dangerous to let her out."
Chen Wei's smile froze instantly, her entire face contorted: "Xing Zhaoming..."
Xing Zhaozhao laughed nonchalantly: "It's okay, brother. Nobody will believe her. They might even think she's crazy and send her to a mental hospital."
Chen Wei shuddered in fright, but remained defiant, glaring at Xing Zhaozhao with venomous eyes: "That's not necessarily true. There are plenty of madmen in this world. Knowing there's someone who's come back from the dead here, even if only a few people make a move, how long do you think you can hold out? Even Gao Mingcheng and the Gao family aren't omnipotent..."
Chen Hao stared at Xing Zhaozhao in astonishment, only then belatedly realizing that his previous suspicions might have been true?
"...Besides, I have my brother here who can vouch for me," Chen Wei continued.
Chen Hao: "..."
Xing Zhaozhao, Gao Mingcheng, and Xing Zhaoming all looked at Chen Hao, as if they were about to turn him into a dead man.
Chen Hao shivered involuntarily, staring blankly at Chen Wei: "I don't understand what you're saying..."
Chen Wei looked at Chen Hao in disbelief: "Brother?"
Chen Hao sighed helplessly, looked at Chen Wei seriously, and said, "Let's get a divorce, Weiwei. It's already come to this, why continue to entangle us?"
"No." Chen Wei glared at Xing Zhaoming with hatred. "Even if it means dying, I will fight him to the bitter end."
After saying that, she looked at Chen Hao and gave him advice: "Brother, don't be afraid. They can't do anything to you. Listen to me, tell the higher-ups about Xing Zhaozhao. They'll know what to do."
Chen Hao: "..." Is it really appropriate for you to be plotting so loudly? Do you really think they're all dead?
"Either get a divorce and come home with me, or you can stay here." Chen Hao gave Chen Wei an ultimatum.
"Brother?" Chen Wei was dumbfounded.
"Choose one," Chen Hao said firmly.
Chen Wei glanced at Xing Zhaozhao, Gao Mingcheng, and Xing Zhaoming, who were waiting leisurely beside her, and then at Chen Hao, who looked resolute. She pouted and finally gave in: "Okay, I agree to the divorce."
