Chapter 78 The Truth Gradually Emerges



Will people die?

I stood up and slowly took off my shirt.

"Wait... Dude, what are you doing? You just wanted me to unlock something for you, okay? I'll unlock it, you don't need to take your clothes off... Holy crap!"

Luo Tianhe pointed in horror at my upper body, which was covered with coin-sized bluish-purple spots, and desperately moved back, his eyes wide open.

"Holy shit, you...you fucking have syphilis!"

I glared at him fiercely: "You're the one with syphilis, this is lividity."

"You scared the hell out of me! It's just rigor mortis! I thought it was syphilis."

Luo Tianhe wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

The next second, his body trembled violently, and he stood up abruptly, spilling the wine from his glass all over himself.

"Limbo... livor spots? You...you...you...you..."

I got dressed and gestured for him not to be nervous.

"I don't want to be nervous either, but with your body covered in lividity, how can I not be scared? Maybe you have syphilis."

I could hear Luo Tianhe's jaw clenching violently.

If I hadn't been blocking the doorway, I reckon he would have stormed out long ago.

I sighed and said I wasn't dead yet.

I didn't hide anything and told him the whole story, including why I went to Rabbit Ear Village.

Although we haven't known each other for long, I can tell that Luo Tianhe is a good person and would never betray me.

"Are you really not dead?" Luo Tianhe asked cautiously.

I ignored him and sat back down on the sofa.

Luo Tianhe picked up a bottle of strong liquor and gulped down several mouthfuls before sitting down next to me again.

"So, you have three... no, two days left to live?"

I said, "That's right, so I have to find Bai Su's real body within two days to help her pass on to the afterlife, otherwise she will have to help me pass on to the afterlife."

Previously, Master Jin speculated that Bai Su's body was likely suppressed in the [Evil Spirit Invasion Array] of Rabbit Ear Village, and that everything would be fine as long as her body was dug out and exorcised.

But now her body has been switched.

Luo Tianhe lit a cigarette and rubbed his temples in frustration.

"Unlocking the phone isn't difficult, but have you ever considered that the matter you're investigating is related to Zeng, the richest man? This man is ruthless and cunning. Last time he could beat people and smash shops, next time he can use you to fill the foundation!"

I shrugged: "Anyway, there are still two days left. Whether I drown or I'm buried in the foundation, I'll die anyway. I can't just sit here and wait to die, can I?"

Luo Tianhe fell silent.

After a long while, he swore and slammed his hand on the table: "Give me your phone, I'll find someone to hack it for you, and while I'm at it, I'll check if Fourth Brother was once the richest man in China."

I reminded him, "Also, check Wu Zhiguo and those three families as well."

Luo Tianhe rolled his eyes: "You have quite a lot of requirements."

I said thank you and quickly called Su Mingyang to ask him to bring the phone over.

By the way, did you get any information from Xiao He about who was maliciously smearing Su's innocence behind the scenes?

Two and a half hours passed before Su Mingyang finally arrived at a leisurely pace.

As soon as they entered, their eyes lit up when they saw the red rope hanging from the ceiling, and they started shouting excitedly.

"Wow, a spiral ascent! Thrilling bungee jumping, a magical spinning show! Old Chen, you're usually such a reserved person, I didn't expect you to be so adventurous!"

However, upon seeing Luo Tianhe, he immediately grabbed a wine bottle and glared at him menacingly.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, I quickly stopped him: "Don't be impulsive, Brother Luo and I are friends now."

"What friends? They're brothers who've been through thick and thin together!"

Luo Tianhe stepped forward, put one arm around my shoulder, patted Su Mingyang's shoulder with the other, and glanced at the red rope.

"Dude, that thing isn't called 'spiral ascension' here, it's called 'celestial maiden scattering flowers'!"

"A celestial maiden scattering flowers?"

Luo Tianhe raised an eyebrow: "Imagine a girl in ancient costume wearing a bright red dress with a rope tied around her waist, slowly spinning down from the air headfirst, her dress spreading out like lilies. Doesn't that have a bit of a celestial maiden scattering flowers vibe?"

Su Mingyang gave a thumbs up: "Elegant, absolutely elegant!"

Watching the two of them chatting animatedly with their arms around each other's shoulders, I twitched my lips in exasperation.

What kind of strange friendship is this?

The two men, who were just about to kill each other, are now like brothers, wishing they could burn incense and cut off chicken heads to become sworn brothers.

Seeing that the two were getting more and more engrossed in their conversation, I quickly nudged Su Mingyang: "Old Su, why did it take you so long to get here? Did you bring the phone I asked you to get?"

As Su Mingyang handed me his phone, he also proudly waved a necklace in front of me, saying, "It's all because I was helping Xiao He pick out a necklace. This little thing has been bothering me for days."

Seriously, this guy's got some nerve? He's about to die, and he's still buying necklaces to pick up girls.

Su Mingyang smiled smugly: "If I survive this time, I'll use this necklace to propose to Xiao He. My mom also really likes this girl."

I was completely bewildered.

How many days has it taken at most? Less than three days, right?

Is this about marriage?

I handed the phone to Luo Tianhe and asked, "Did you get any information from Xiao He about who's been smearing Su behind his back?"

Su Mingyang said smugly, "Of course! Don't you know what kind of relationship we have now? Under my threat of a stick, Xiao He..."

Seeing that he was about to ramble on again, I quickly interrupted him: "Get to the point."

"The key point is, you'd never guess who this person is who's maliciously smearing Hei Su..."

"The former richest man?"

Su Mingyang stared wide-eyed in shock: "Holy crap, how did you know?"

"Just a guess!"

Luo Tianhe chimed in: "You mean the richest man in the country deliberately had someone smear his own daughter, Bai Su, to force her to die?"

Su Mingyang nodded: "I don't know much, but Xiao He said that Zeng, the richest man, told her to throw some dirty water on Bai Su so that she could work at the hospital and become the head nurse in two years."

"Xiao He usually disliked Bai Su's fake innocence, and since Bai Su's mother was killed by Zeng, the richest man, she agreed without thinking."

Bai Su's mother was killed by the former richest man.

I hurriedly asked, "Did the richest man in the country kill his wife? And now he's going to kill his daughter too?"

Su Mingyang scratched his head: "I don't know either. We drank too much at the time, so I can't remember clearly. It was something like Bai Su was not well received by the Zeng family, and her mother was sick and they didn't even have the money to go to the hospital."

I thought for a moment and asked him if I could call Xiao He over.

"this……"

Su Mingyang hesitated, "I don't want to involve her anymore."

I slapped him on the forehead: "I think you're really out of your mind, you don't want to live anymore. If you can't find Bai Su's body within two days, you're fucking dead."

Luo Tianhe added gleefully, "Then she'll be wearing your necklace, lying in someone else's arms, doing all the things you two did before and didn't do with that person."

"I'll call her over right away."

...

Upon hearing that Su Mingyang had bought her a necklace, Xiao He arrived quite quickly, within ten minutes.

Luo Tianhe had been chatting and laughing with Su Mingyang about which activity they would be experiencing later.

The moment Xiao He entered, the wine glass in his hand clattered to the ground.
