Even hybrid monsters have their day

The faces of the group turned pale instantly. Geng Miaowan immediately cursed, "That inhuman beast!" She then asked Lu Fangtong, "Is there a sewage pipe in the yard?"

Lu Fangtong shook his head.

At this moment, Chen Jinyue suddenly shouted, "I remember now, there used to be a sewage outlet there, not very big, but it always smelled terrible, emitting a stench all year round. He had wanted to cover it up for a long time, but he couldn't find anyone himself, so he specifically asked me to help him. At that time, the child had only been missing for a few days, and I wasn't in the mood, so I helped him call someone to come and cover it up, pouring cement and paving it to look like the ground in the yard. I never expected him to actually..."

He couldn't say anything more. This poor father, after learning of his child's ordeal, shed tears for the first time, tears of utter despair. A somber atmosphere filled the room.

What kind of psychological turmoil must someone be to do something so heinous!

Just then, Lu Fangtong's phone vibrated. He answered the call and returned, his face even paler than before, his eyes red. "Shuai Shuai is dying..."

Geng Miaowan suddenly stood up and said to Peng Yu, "I'm leaving this to you. I need to go to the hospital to get checked out."

When she and Lu Fang arrived at the hospital, Lu Shuaishuai was lying on the bed, breathing heavily, as if something was blocking his chest and making it hard for him to breathe.

"How could this be?"

Lu Fangtong wanted to go over, but was stopped by the doctor. "Mr. Lu, we are performing first aid on the child. Please do not come closer and disturb us."

The doctor said they were giving Lu Shuaiyu emergency care, but there was no foreign object obstructing his breathing in his throat, nor were any other problems found that would cause him to have similar symptoms. So, half an hour later, they only gave him a sedative injection to calm him down, and then they all shook their heads and left.

Geng Miaowan came to the bedside. Lu Shuaishuai, who had been given a sedative, was lying there quietly. If it weren't for his extremely pale complexion, she might have thought he was just asleep.

"How could this be? Is it still too late?" she asked Luan Hao in her mind.

Luan Hao's white figure remained seated, motionless, as if he hadn't heard her words. After a long while, he finally said slowly, "It's too late."

"What do you mean?" Geng Miaowan asked, puzzled. "Didn't you say that as long as Xiaoming leaves voluntarily, he will get better?"

"I remember saying that about ten days ago."

"So what if it is?" They did spend quite a long time investigating, both overtly and covertly.

“If Xiaoming had left back then, he would have naturally recovered. But now…” Luan Hao paused for a moment and continued, “His body has lost the energy to generate popularity, so even if Xiaoming leaves, he will die from exhaustion of popularity.”

"This is impossible!" Geng Miaowan slammed her hand on the table next to the hospital bed, startling Lu Fangtong and Jiang Lan into looking at her at the same time.

Jiang Lan was unaware of these matters. She glanced at her with a puzzled look before turning her gaze back to Lu Shuaishuai.

Seeing Geng Miaowan's pale face, Lu Fangtong suddenly had a bad feeling. He called her outside and whispered, "Is Shuai Shuai really beyond saving?"

When he first saw Lu Shuaishuai, he knew that he was lifeless and looked like a soulless corpse. Although he was extremely unwilling to admit it, he had to believe what he saw with his own eyes.

Geng Miaowan didn't look at him. Her eyes, fixed on the smooth ground, were full of determination, even a hint of madness. "I won't let anything happen to him."

Perhaps the truth about Chen Ziming's situation had hit her too hard. At this moment, she felt she could no longer allow an innocent child to suffer such harm, nor could she allow a once complete and happy family to be shattered like this.

Seeing her angrily walking towards the ward, Lu Fangtong felt a strange mix of emotions.

"Geng Miaowan, are you planning to do something foolish?" Luan Hao sensed the turbulent emotions in Geng Miaowan's heart. It was like a stormy sea, stirring up huge waves, which made him uneasy.

When Geng Miaowan returned to the ward, she was startled by the person who appeared inside, and her face immediately turned pale.

She rushed over and demanded, "What are you doing here?"

The other person seemed completely oblivious to her displeasure, greeting her with a smile. "Hello. We meet again?"

"What are you doing here?"

"What do you think I'm doing here?" The man glanced meaningfully at the person lying on the bed. "I really didn't expect you to be here. The people in the underworld are going crazy looking for you."

Geng Miaowan didn't think she was that important that the Underworld needed to mobilize so many people to search for her. However, when he looked at Lu Shuaishuai on the bed, she suddenly pulled him away and used her body to block him. "No, I don't agree."

“You should know that this is not a matter for you to agree to or disagree with, and…” He winked at her and said in a relaxed tone, “Be mindful of your behavior. I think this hospital has a psychiatric department too.”

"You..." Geng Miaowan wanted to lash out, but she also noticed that Lu Fangtong and Jiang Lan were looking at her strangely, and even a doctor who came in to examine Lu Shuaishuai was looking at her with a horrified expression. Remembering that the world couldn't see Yin Hao, she made a gesture to him and mouthed, "Come out with me."

Judging from the way she was gesturing wildly, shouting, and talking to herself just now, they must think she's crazy.

Yin Hao shrugged, giving him a look that said, "Why should I listen to you?"

Geng Miaowan turned around, grabbed his hand without a word, and started walking out of the ward. When they reached the door, Lu Fangce stopped her and asked, "Are you alright?"

She shook her head. "It's nothing."

He couldn't very well say that he saw the Black Impermanence come to take his son, could he? That would either scare him to death or crush him.

She held his hand until they reached a secluded stairwell, where no one else was coming or going, before letting go. "I solemnly warn you, you cannot take away Lu Shuaishuai's soul."

"Why not? It's my duty."

"I don't care about your responsibilities, you just can't take away Lu Shuaishuai's soul." Geng Miaowan once again displayed her unreasonable side.

Yin Hao glanced at her, knowing she was standing up for Lu Shuaishuai, feeling it was very unfair to him. He also knew about Lu Shuaishuai's plight, but he collected so many souls every day, his eyes were tired of seeing such things, so he didn't have the same indignation as her.

It is said that life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are bestowed by heaven. This is absolutely true.

He sighed softly, "This matter is neither up to you nor up to me."

"But……"

“Alright,” he interrupted her, “it’s almost time, I have to get to work.”

After saying that, he disappeared from her sight. Geng Miaowan was startled and quickly ran to the ward, only to see Yin Hao already standing in the same spot, waiting as if he could take Lu Shuaishuai back as soon as he could catch his breath.

She went to Lu Shuaishuai's bedside and checked his breathing. Although it was weak, he was still breathing.

Time ticked by, each second bringing Lu Shuaishuai one step closer to death. Geng Miaowan paced back and forth, her anxiety palpable.

Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks, her face showing a determined, all-or-nothing expression.

Her determination intensified Luan Hao's unease. "Geng Miaowan, you're not really planning to do something foolish, are you?"

The expression on her face made Yin Hao feel uneasy. "Geng Miaowan, please don't do anything to make things difficult for me." (To be continued.)
