"I was lying on a hospital bed, with my mother crying her eyes out and my mother-in-law sighing beside me. I told them that Zhixun had been taken away by a demon, and asked them to find someone to rescue him. I told them that I saw scales on Qiushui's body, and that Qiushui was not human but a demon. But no one believed me. They all thought I was crazy and found the best psychiatrist in the hospital to treat me. They forced me to take medicine and get injections, and even had a hypnotist hypnotize me!" At this point, the woman lowered her eyes and sighed, "Those were truly hellish days!"
"Gradually, I felt like I was going crazy. I even often thought that maybe my mother was right. In fact, I didn't see any scales that day. I just couldn't stand Zhixun eloping with another woman and leaving me! My condition was up and down, and I spent three years in the hospital in a daze until Zhixun came back..." As she spoke, the woman burst into tears. She wiped away her tears and continued, "Zhixun took me out of the hospital. He said he would always take care of me. He said everything was over and we would be fine, always! In order for me to recover as soon as possible, Zhixun moved our original home in the city to a quiet suburb. It was here that we spent another six months of good time."
"Ten days ago, my husband Zhixun was sitting in the study reading, and I was sitting in the living room watching TV. I brought him tea and snacks twice, and he even talked to me. But in the evening... when I went in to call him for dinner, Zhixun wasn't in the study! I swear... I swear, Zhixun didn't come out. I was in the living room the whole time, how could I not see him?" The woman became excited again as she spoke, "It must be that witch who's back! I knew she wouldn't let us go. She must have taken Zhixun away again while I wasn't paying attention!"
As she spoke, the woman's expression changed. Her whole face became hideous and distorted, and even her eyes became abnormal. She really looked like a mental patient.
"Mrs. Wei, Mrs. Wei?" Lan Ziye spoke up in time to remind her.
The woman finally calmed down from her out-of-control emotions, and looked up at Lan Ziye with eyes full of helplessness and pain: "I talked to the police, talked to my parents-in-law, and talked to my parents. I begged them to save Zhixun. Zhixun is really missing! But they just don't believe me. They want... to send me to the hospital! But how can I go to the hospital now? If I go to the hospital, who will save Zhixun? Zhixun will be finished!" As she spoke, the woman became excited again.
Seeing this, Lan Ziye quickly covered the woman's slender hands with his own, nodded at her and said, "Don't be anxious, just take your time and talk!"
"Do you believe it?" The woman looked up at Lan Ziye and tested him cautiously.
Lan Ziye smiled faintly and said, "If I didn't believe it, I wouldn't have taken your business! Don't worry, I have a strong sense of professional ethics!"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes! You are the almighty Twelve Young Master Lan!"
"What do you mean omnipotent?" Lan Ziye looked at the woman with interest.
The woman awkwardly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Actually, I heard about you first and investigated you before I found that underground black market and that middleman!"
After a pause, the woman continued, "I'm so scared of being sent to the hospital again, so no matter how scared or helpless I am, I'm determined not to mention the word 'monster', and I absolutely won't let my family notice anything unusual!"
