Lu Ze's situation is exactly the same as Chen Liang's.
If Huang Youmin hadn't been mentally prepared, he would have screamed out in fear. The once tall and strong boy had now become a walking corpse, his breath so weak that he seemed like he would collapse at the slightest touch.
However, at this moment, the young man stubbornly stretched out his hands and begged, "Please take me away. I want to go to the police station and turn myself in! Chen Liang called me just now, and he was right. As soon as you came, Xu Yaya ran away. She's afraid of you!"
Lu Ze grabbed Huang Youmin like a life-saving straw.
His parents actually accepted his decision calmly.
"Comrade police, please arrest him. If we had known that he had done such a beastly thing, we would have sent him to surrender. He said he saw a ghost, but I think he has something to hide. If you don't arrest him, he will drive himself crazy." Lu Ze's parents were quite reasonable and said these words with sobs.
Huang Youmin was very emotional. He pointed at Lu Ze and sighed, "The younger you are, the more you can't take the wrong path. If you take one wrong step, your whole life will be ruined. Okay, follow me!"
The group got in the car and went to the police station in a mighty procession.
Lu Ze lay down in the back seat and fell into a sleepy state, with an unprecedented sense of peace and comfort on his face.
Xu Yaya's voice finally disappeared. It turned out that turning himself in was the only way to avoid her.
Unfortunately, since the victim had committed suicide, all relevant evidence was destroyed. Although the police filed a case, they were unable to investigate for a while. It was even a question whether Lu Ze could be brought to court in the end.
"Let's summon Xu Jingjing to cooperate with the investigation first." The director waved his hands helplessly.
Huang Youmin immediately summoned Xu Jingjing, only to find out that the Xu family was also haunted last night, and Xu Yong was seriously injured by the evil spirit. He is now receiving treatment in the hospital and is said to be at risk of disfigurement.
Of course, these are just the Xu family’s statements, and the emergency center and fire department don’t believe them at all.
Huang Youmin felt a surge of fear. The people who killed Xu Yaya claimed to have seen ghosts one after another. This could no longer be described as a coincidence.
Xu Jingjing came to the police station accompanied by a lawyer. She insisted that Chen Liang and Lu Ze were mentally ill and had delusions, and she denied anything else.
The police officer in charge of interrogating her took a break to drink water, pointed to the door of the interrogation room, and said to Huang Youmin: "This is a witch. Ordinary people can't deal with it at all."
At this moment, Huang Youmin's fear was even deeper, simply because he had truly witnessed the horror of human nature.
What is a fierce ghost compared to Xu Jingjing?
Unable to elicit any useful information, the police released Xu Jingjing and Lu Ze. Chen Liang was taken to a mental health evaluation center by his family and received a release permit exempting him from all criminal charges.
Although he had expected this result, Huang Youmin still felt extremely tired after working for a whole day without any results.
This case was definitely not the most difficult one he had ever encountered in his police career, but it was the one that made him most sad and helpless.
He knew exactly how the victim died, but he was powerless to do anything about the murderer.
At this point, Huang Youmin actually sincerely hoped that there were ghosts and retribution in the world, and that all those who did evil things would taste the consequences of their own actions.
After walking outside the police station and smoking two cigarettes in a row, Huang Youmin called Zhuang Li and apologized sincerely.
"It's okay, I know you have tried your best." Zhuang Li's tone was calm.
"Thank you for your understanding." Huang Youmin's eyes were red and his voice was hoarse. "Xu Yaya is a good girl. The rumors about her circulating in the school are all false. They were deliberately spread by Xu Jingjing. Lu Ze has already confessed. He also told the whole process of how Xu Jingjing taught him how to spread rumors. Mr. Zhuang, you have to believe that your sister has done nothing wrong."
"Of course I believe it. I have never doubted Yaya's character for a second. In my heart, she is an angel forever." Zhuang Li said slowly.
Huang Youmin couldn't stand it anymore and could only hang up the phone in embarrassment.
He felt very sorry because during the investigation, he actually believed those rumors and determined that Xu Yaya committed suicide for love.
If only we could have investigated further...
It’s a pity that there are no ifs in the world.
---
After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Li covered his eyes and did not move for a long time.
Realizing that he was sad, Bai Ming quickly hugged him.
Zhuang Li also hugged him back, put his ear against his broad chest, and listened to his steady heartbeat.
The two of them together form a complete world that can heal all wounds with warmth.
---
Xu Yong's injuries were extremely difficult to treat, and he now lay half-dead in the hospital. To avoid Xu Yaya's harassment, Huang Wei and Xu Jingjing set up two small beds in the ward and stayed with him day and night.
They asked the nurses to move away all the electronic items such as mobile phones, computers, and televisions, leaving only an empty room.
Because of this, they really had a few days of peace and quiet.
Five days later, Huang Wei couldn't hold it in any longer, so she put on some delicate makeup and said she was going to a beauty salon for skin care.
Xu Jingjing sat blankly in front of the bed, as if she didn't hear what she said.
This girl who was once so proud is now slowly withering away.
Huang Wei rolled his eyes at Xu Jingjing's back and walked out with his hips swaying.
A nurse from the burn department suddenly called her: "Mrs. Xu, your friend wants you to answer the phone." Then she handed her her cell phone.
Huang Wei, who was about to enter the elevator, was extremely surprised: "How could my friend call you on your phone?"
"She said she couldn't get through to you on the phone, so she had to contact me." The nurse shook her cell phone.
The number did look familiar, so Huang Wei took it without any precautions.
A spooky whisper came from the microphone: "Mom, it's me!"
Huang Wei: “!!!”
Her whole body froze, and her eyes suddenly opened wide with fear.
"Mom, I have good news for you. You have AIDS, hehe." Xu Yaya's voice sounded very happy.
Huang Wei's legs went weak and she almost fell to her knees. She couldn't believe what she heard.
"Tell me clearly what you mean!" At this moment, she was not even afraid of ghosts. She just wanted to know whether what she just said was true.
How could she possibly have AIDS? She's always been chaste—
As if remembering something, Huang Wei began to tremble all over.
"That's right, it's just as you thought. The man you were fooling around with a week ago is an AIDS carrier. Do you know who sent him?" Xu Yaya smiled gently, not feeling sad at all for her mother's experience.
"Who is it?" Huang Wei asked with red eyes.
But she already had a vague answer in her heart.
As if she could peek into her thoughts, Xu Yaya affirmed, "Mom, you're so smart! You guessed it right again. That's right, it's Xu Jingjing! It's already the sixth day since you were infected. You're beyond help. Hehe."
Her voice sounded very happy.
Huang Wei's teeth chattered, and each word trembled as she spoke: "You knew she was going to harm me, didn't you? Why didn't you warn me? I'm your mother!"
Xu Yaya's tone also turned sinister: "When Xu Yong violated me, weren't you watching from the side? Why didn't you say you were my mother? I originally wanted to kill you, but now I don't have to. It's also good to let you live like a ghost, hehe."
Xu Yaya's voice disappeared.
Huang Wei stood there stiffly, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
The nurse had to pry her phone out of her palm.
She shuddered and quickly grabbed the nurse's arm, asking anxiously, "I heard that AIDS can be cured, right?"
"Who told you that? There is currently no effective medicine to cure AIDS." The nurse looked at her strangely.
"No, there is a medicine that can cure it. Taking the medicine can kill the virus!" Huang Wei said stubbornly.
The nurse suddenly realized: "You mean the blocking drug? That kind of medicine is only effective if taken within 72 hours. After 72 hours, even a god can't save you."
Huang Wei was like being struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.
The nurse quickly broke free from her pull, and after returning to the duty room, she felt scared and quickly sprayed alcohol on herself.
Huang Wei stood at the elevator entrance for a long time before stumbling inside. She went down to the first floor and wandered around the hospital like a ghost. She slumped down in the flower bed outside, tears streaming down her face.
If she had been nicer to her daughter before and left a little thought in her daughter's heart, her daughter would have reminded her when Xu Jingjing secretly plotted against her, right?
She regretted it so much! But she also hated Xu Jingjing, the devil!
Huang Wei stood up with hatred and hurried to confront the man.
The man was only surprised for a moment before smiling nonchalantly, "Yes, I do have AIDS. I'm paid to harm you, and I can't do anything about it. My treatment would cost a lot of money. You're a wealthy woman, you can take the best medicine, get the best injections, and you'll live a long time, so there's no need to be afraid. Just eat, drink, and enjoy yourself."
He didn't feel guilty at all.
Huang Wei wanted to pounce on him and tear him apart, but she thought he was dirty, so she had to leave in despair. She called a doctor and learned that she had a high chance of infection, but she was still in the window period and had to wait six weeks to determine whether her condition was good or bad.
Huang Wei couldn't even wait a second, so how could she possibly survive six weeks? As she got into the car, she finally collapsed on the steering wheel and burst into tears.
The darkness of the human heart was terrifying, and she had experienced it all today. It was only then that she realized what a terrible hell she had been to her daughter.
Everything that happened now was the result of the evil she had done.
"Wuwuwu, Yaya, Mom was wrong. I'm sorry for you! Please help me! I don't want to die!" She begged bitterly, placing her hope of survival on ghosts and gods.
However, Yaya had already left. She didn't even bother to retaliate against Huang Wei.
Huang Wei waited a long time for her daughter's response, but she fell into deeper despair. She sat in the car blankly, her expression gradually changing from sadness and numbness to a ferocious look.
She drove back to the hospital and went to the public bathroom to touch up her makeup before entering the ward, then put on an impeccable smile.
Xu Jingjing was reading a book. When she saw her stepmother opening the door, disgust was evident in her eyes.
Huang Wei suppressed the anger in his heart, carried a plate of cherry tomatoes into the kitchen, squeezed the pulp into juice, poured it into a cup, and then cut his wrist, smearing a circle of blood on the rim of the cup.
"Have some juice." She naturally placed a glass of juice next to Xu Jingjing, and held another glass of juice and drank it while walking.
Xu Jingjing didn't touch the juice, and she didn't urge him to do so. She just sat quietly beside the bed.
Facial burns cannot be bandaged, so the wounds on Xu Yong's face were exposed to the air. He was still unconscious, breathing heavily and clearly in great pain.
Huang Wei wiped her still bleeding wrist with a cotton swab, then wiped the wound on Xu Yong's forehead. Her tone was extremely gentle: "Husband, you must get better soon. No one in our family can be left behind. It must be complete and whole."
Xu Jingjing picked up the juice and took a sip, with a sneer on her face.
Huang Wei stared at the corner of her mouth that was slapped by Xu Yong and the several festering blisters on her lips due to anxiety, and smiled strangely.
