Chapter 576 The Second Option
Wen Liang: "...Why are you asking this suddenly?"
"I... just suddenly got curious. Has it ever been cut?"
"I have no idea."
"Really?"
"I really don't know." Wen Liang asked suspiciously, "Did Yan Huai cut off someone else's finger?"
Tang Shishi was silent for two seconds, swallowed, and said nervously, "Three."
Wen Liang was surprised and asked, "Whose?"
"Alice." Tang Shishi simply told Wen Liang the truth and said frantically, "Do you know how I felt when I saw the photo? At first, I thought it was photoshopped! Then the more I looked at it, the more real it seemed, and the more I looked at it, the creepier I felt. I thought it was quite cruel at first, but when I think about Xiaofeng lying in the hospital, I feel it's not so bad. Every evildoer will be punished by his own evildoers!"
"Don't think about it too much, and you'll forget it slowly."
"You seem quite experienced?"
Wen Liang: "...I remember when I was still in school, I accidentally heard Fu Zheng talking on the phone with someone, saying..."
"What did you say?" Tang Shishi's tone suddenly became excited.
"He said he was going to break someone's legs... but I still don't know how that person is doing now, or whether his legs were broken."
But Wen Liang guessed that it was probably really broken. Lu Yao and his men had arrested several people who had been in jail and were specifically responsible for handling some shady matters for Fu Zheng.
"What were you thinking?"
"...You know I was really mad at him at that time. I thought everything he did was right. Since he gave that order, it must have been that person who provoked him first."
“Oh…I see…”
"But if it were now, I would probably persuade him to resolve it through legal means. But the incident has already happened, so you shouldn't feel too much psychological burden. After all, Alice attempted murder by hiring someone, but failed. If Yan Huai hadn't made arrangements in advance, it would probably be you who got into trouble..."
"But he's cut off people's fingers so many times that I can't even count them..."
Wen Liang: “…”
…
There was a series of "crackling" sounds, and cutlery fell to the ground, spilling soup and food everywhere, accompanied by a sharp scolding: "How do you serve? How can I drink this soup that's so hot?! Do you know how to feed me? If not, get out of here!"
After two breaths of silence, another suppressed voice broke out, "Just get out, there are too many things to do, I won't serve you anymore!"
After saying that, the nurse rushed out of the room and left angrily.
"Hey, Mia, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry?"
In the corridor, someone greeted the nurse named Mia.
Mia looked up and saw a familiar nurse friend. She walked over and couldn't help complaining, "She's still a guest from Ward 703. One moment she complained about the soup being too hot, the next she complained about the food being cold. I've already said goodbye to her."
"Oh, it's her. I heard that you've already changed five nurses in one day. Now no one wants to go over to change her dressing because her finger is broken and the injury is serious. Some pain is inevitable. But whenever she feels pain, she will hit people and make a fuss. Last time, she even knocked over the medical tray. Oh, I hope I don't have to go this time."
Mia's nurse friend is very understanding and sympathetic.
Mia couldn't help but speculate, "How did her finger break? It was so neat, it doesn't seem like an accident..."
"You guessed right. He was hacked. He must have offended someone." The nurse recalled the scene when the patient from Ward 703 was brought in. "...The ones that were broken were the thumbs of both hands and the index finger on the right hand. You could say his hand is completely broken."
“Serves you right!”
Inside the ward, Alice, sitting on the bed, looked at the mess on the floor and yelled for someone to come in and clean it up.
I waited for a few minutes, but no one came in.
She was filled with anger. She turned around and saw the mobile phone on the bedside table, and subconsciously reached for it.
But she forgot that her hands no longer had the ability to grasp.
The phone fell to the ground with a "bang" and lay in the soup.
Alice was stunned for a moment, then quickly jumped out of bed and used her intact fingers to pull the phone onto the clean ground. Having lost both thumbs, she only had to pick up the phone with two fingers.
She was unskilled and her fingers were not strong enough. In addition, the phone was slippery with soup, so it slipped from her fingertips in mid-air and fell to the ground again.
Alice showed an impatient expression on her face, and her chest was filled with anger, as if it would explode in the next second.
She took a step forward, bent down, and picked up the phone again.
Unexpectedly, he stepped on the soup and suddenly slipped, falling to the ground without warning. His hand hit the corner of the table, and he felt a sharp pain in the wound.
His clothes were stained with soup and he looked in a mess.
The broken porcelain pieces on the thigh cup had made a cut and blood was flowing out.
Alice propped herself up and sat up, and her palm accidentally pressed on the rice, making a sticky lump.
She was silent for a moment, then suddenly collapsed, "Ah——"
She cried and screamed like crazy, stood up, grabbed the kettle on the table, and smashed it to the ground, overturning the fruit plate and sending the fruit rolling all over the floor.
There was another burst of crackling and clanging sounds. Everything that could be smashed in the ward was smashed by her. The ground was in a mess and there was almost no place to step.
The wound, which had slightly healed, began to bleed again, and through the gauze, it was all red.
Alice's eyes were filled with deep hatred and her expression was ferocious.
Caesar, Tang Shishi, she must make them pay with blood!
…
Inside Wilson Manor.
Xie Shu has been exhausted these days. He suddenly fainted yesterday afternoon and was rushed to the hospital.
After recovery, he was transferred directly to a nursing home for recuperation.
She sat by the window, looked at the vast scenery outside, and sighed slightly.
The reason she transferred to the sanatorium was actually because she didn't know how to face Ilia.
She was afraid that when she looked at Ilia, she would unconsciously show disappointment.
After learning about the conversation between Ilia and Alice, they have two choices.
First, we must expose Ilia now, whether by reasoning or using force, and make her cut off her connection with Alice, so that she will no longer become a knife that stabs her own people.
But she is always a time bomb. Even if she is avoided this time, who knows if she will be used by others next time?
The second option was to pretend to know nothing and cooperate, allowing Alice to lead Ilia astray. They pretended to believe everything, lured the enemy deeper, and finally, logically and legitimately, caught all those who coveted the family power.
But after the dust settles, Ilia will be classified as a sinner of the family and expelled from the family.
Before Xie Shu and Old Wilson expressed their opinions, Yan Huai firmly chose the second method.
He analyzed the situation carefully and rationally. "This move might seem bad for Ilia, but it actually kills two birds with one stone. Ilia has long been driven by extreme thinking. If we expose her and forcibly sever her ties with Alice, it will only backfire. It's better to let her see the true colors of Alice and the others, then change her identity and allow her to live a stable life. She's not a determined person, nor is she a smart person. In a complex environment where desires run rampant, she's easily instigated and exploited by others. Once she distances herself from profit-based relationships, she'll be able to make true friends and live a simple, healthy life."
With Yan Huai's perfect eloquence, Old Wilson supported him, and Xie Shu also acquiesced.
