So satisfying! The Great Demon King wiped out everyone equally!

However, what she didn't know was that the moment the door closed, the barrier she had set up was reactivated, and the people outside couldn't hear her cries for help at all.

Canglan's clone threw the axe aside and slowly walked up to Wang Manyun, his eyes cold and ruthless, as if looking at an insignificant ant.

She reached out her large hand and grabbed Wang Manyun's neck tightly. "You all brought this on yourselves. You've done so many bad things, and you still want everything. You're asking for death!"

Her fingers tightened, and Wang Manyun's face turned from red to purple, then gradually to blue. Her eyes bulged out, her tongue stuck out, and her body went from struggling to gradually losing strength.

Just as Wang Manyun was about to suffocate, Canglan's clone suddenly slammed her to the ground.

Immediately, Wang Manyun's body collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, her eyes rolled back, and only a faint breath proved that she was still alive.

At the same time, Canglan silently erased all traces, completely wiping away everyone's memory of her in the village, as if he had never been there at all.

After doing all this, the clone immediately returned to Canglan's body.

Meanwhile, Wang Tucheng, dragging his limp, ran wildly through the village, shouting and yelling all the way.

Upon seeing the crowd, he clung to them like a lifeline, rushing towards them with all his might, shouting hoarsely as he ran, "Quick, call the police! Wang Zhaodi is trying to kill me! She's trying to kill me!"

He stumbled while running too fast and fell heavily to the ground with a thud.

"Wang Zhaodi? Has she returned?"

"How could they possibly come back! They've all gone to the city to live a good life."

At this moment, Wang Miaomiao also noticed Wang Tucheng. Without hesitation, she rushed over and shouted, "Everyone, hurry! Call the police! Get him to the hospital! He's badly injured!"

However, as soon as she finished speaking, some villagers raised objections.

"I'm not sending him! If I send him there, am I supposed to pay for his medical expenses? I'm not paying!"

Wang Shaodong and his family are incredibly stingy; they haven't paid back the money they borrowed from me yet! They borrowed 100 yuan from me last time, and there's been no sign of it since.

These past few days, that couple has disappeared without a trace. They must have offended someone and been arrested. If I take Wang Tucheng to the hospital, won't he pin it on me? I don't want to get myself into trouble; then I won't be able to explain myself!"

Those around him nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, we can't give it away, we can't give it away!"

In an instant, the villagers who had been surrounding Wang Tucheng scattered as if avoiding a plague.

She had no choice and no money on her, so she could only drag Wang Tucheng step by step to the village clinic.

When they arrived at the clinic, the village doctor gasped in shock upon seeing Wang Tucheng's injuries.

"This injury is too severe!" The village doctor frowned, squatted down, and carefully rolled up Wang Tucheng's trouser leg. The entire leg was red, swollen, and ulcerated, emitting a pungent stench.

The village doctor shook his head helplessly, then examined the other wounds on the man's head, face, and body. While busily bandaging and applying medicine, he said, "I can't do anything about this leg! With such a serious injury, it's a miracle he's still alive if we don't get him to the hospital soon. You should take him to a big hospital as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Miaomiao was extremely anxious. Without hesitation, she said, "Village doctor, please watch over him for me while I go back to get the money!"

After saying that, she quickly ran back home. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, she secretly took out the thousand yuan she had hidden in a corner.

After taking the money, she hurriedly ran back to the clinic, handed it to the village doctor, and then carried Wang Tucheng to the village entrance to take him to the hospital.

Meanwhile, Li Guiqin waited at home for a long time, but Wang Miaomiao didn't come back to cook. Her stomach was growling with hunger, and she was furious.

She reached her front door, put her hands on her hips, and started yelling, "Where did that brat Wang Miaomiao go? She's not back to cook! Does she want me to starve?!"

Just then, a neighbor passed by and said to her with a smile, "Your Miaomiao, do you like that boy Wang Tucheng next door? I just saw her carrying Wang Tucheng towards the village entrance, it looks like they went to the hospital."

"Bullshit! Go to the hospital? Does she have any money?" she muttered, cursing under her breath. She turned around, went back into the house to get some money, and stormed off toward the village entrance.

Soon, Wang Miaomiao brought Wang Tucheng to the hospital. Upon seeing Wang Tucheng's injuries, the doctor immediately took him into the operating room.

"This leg has to be amputated; it's been necrotic for days. If it's not amputated, it will be life-threatening. Please sign the papers immediately!"

Without hesitation, Wang Miaomiao picked up the pen and signed her name on the surgical consent form.

Time passed second by second, and finally, Wang Tucheng was wheeled out of the operating room.

The medical staff immediately said to Wang Miaomiao, "The thousand yuan you paid isn't enough. He has many fractures and will require a lot of money. Please check how much you're short and make up the difference as soon as possible, otherwise our hospital won't be able to continue treatment."

At the same time, Li Guiqin arrived and was immediately displeased. She pointed at Wang Miaomiao and shouted, "You brat, where did you get the money to pay his medical bills? Did you steal money from home?"

As she spoke, she stepped forward, grabbed Wang Miaomiao's hair, and slapped her across the face. With a "smack," a red handprint immediately appeared on Wang Miaomiao's face.

Wang Miaomiao covered her face, tears welling up in her eyes. She cried, "I didn't, I didn't! That was my own money!"

"Your savings? Bullshit! Your money is my money! Go and get that money back!" Li Guiqin shouted, her face contorted with rage, hands on her hips.

Wang Miaomiao looked at Li Guiqin with unwavering eyes, then knelt down with a thud, tears streaming down her face, and said, "Mom, I love Tu Cheng, and I want to marry him. We don't have enough money for his medical expenses, can you help him? Mom, I'm begging you!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guiqin trembled with anger and said fiercely, "You come with me now! He's lost his legs, how can he earn money in the future? What place would hire him? If you follow him, you'll only suffer in the future!"

Just then, a nurse came in, saw the scene, frowned and said, "Are you Wang Tucheng's family member? You still owe the hospital a lot of money. Please pay it off immediately, otherwise we will have to kick the patient out."

Upon hearing this, Li Guiqin immediately changed her demeanor. She released Wang Miaomiao, waved her hands wildly, and hurriedly said, "I'm not Wang Tucheng's family member. What does he have to do with me? My daughter is just kind-hearted. She took him to the hospital and even paid a thousand yuan for him! If you want to find him, call his parents. Wang Tucheng has nothing to do with me!"

As she spoke, she reached out to pull Wang Miaomiao, "Come on, come home with me! Don't do anything foolish here!"

Wang Miaomiao forcefully shook off Li Guiqin's hand and cried, "I won't go, I won't go!"

Seeing this, the medical staff shook their heads helplessly and said loudly, "Quiet down! This is a hospital! Since you have nothing to do with the patients, please leave now!"

Li Guiqin stomped her feet in anger as she looked at Wang Miaomiao. She pointed at Wang Miaomiao and cursed, "You good-for-nothing! I'm not going to care about you anymore!" After saying that, she turned around and left, still cursing.

……

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the ward through the cracks in the window, and Wang Tucheng slowly woke up.

His consciousness was still somewhat hazy, but he subconsciously reached out to touch his leg. When his hand touched the empty trouser leg, his eyes widened instantly, and his pupils contracted sharply.

"My legs! My legs!" He sat up abruptly, tearing at the blanket with his hands and screaming at the top of his lungs.

Wang Miaomiao was startled awake by his shout, and a joyful smile immediately appeared on her face. She quickly said, "Brother Tucheng, you're finally awake..."

However, before she could finish speaking, Wang Tucheng angrily interrupted her: "It was you! You were the one who had them saw off my leg! What right do you have to make decisions for me?"

Wang Miaomiao was terrified by his appearance. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she said pitifully, "But...but the doctor said you'll die if you don't have your leg amputated!"

"I've been locked up in this house by Wang Zhaodi for so long, why didn't you call the police? Why?" Wang Tucheng continued to roar.

"Zhao Di? Brother Tu Cheng, is Zhao Di back?" Wang Miaomiao asked blankly.

"You're still playing dumb!" Wang Tucheng said through gritted teeth. The next second, as if he suddenly remembered something, he shouted, "Call the police! I want to call the police! Where's my phone?"

Wang Miaomiao quickly picked up her phone from the table next to her and handed it to him, saying, "Brother Tucheng, I specially charged your phone last night."

Wang Tucheng snatched the phone and frantically turned it on. The moment it was on, a call came in. He pressed the answer button, and a stern voice came from the other end: "Wang Tucheng, you've been expelled from school. Don't bother coming back."

"I only missed a few days of school, how could it be so serious as to get expelled?"

"Are you alright? Don't you know how to use the internet? Go see for yourself what you've been doing! You filthy human traffickers!" With that, the other party hung up the phone.

Wang Tucheng immediately opened a certain app, and the top trending title was particularly jarring—"Shocking! The Truth Behind a Wealthy Family: A Vicious Old Woman Switches Her Granddaughter, Seizes Her Own House, and Murders for Money."

He clicked on the title and quickly browsed the comments below.

"I know Wang Tucheng; he's from our school. This kind of person must be expelled!"

"Please share this message so more people can see it!"

Wang Tucheng's heart sank as he read the comments. He threw his phone aside, buried his face in his hands, and muttered to himself, "It's over, everything's over. Look, I've lost my leg, I can't go to school anymore, the school expelled me, and Wang Zhaodi killed my parents..."

Suddenly, he seemed to go mad, shouting, "Wang Zhaodi, it's all because of you! I'm calling the police! I'm calling the police!"

He picked up his phone and quickly dialed 110. The police arrived shortly after.

Wang Tucheng said to the police in an agitated state, "Police, I want to report a crime! Wang Zhaodi, also known as Zhou Yulan, broke my leg. She has been abusing me for days. I barely managed to escape. She even said she killed my parents..."

After taking notes, the police went to Qingyan Village to conduct an investigation.

They questioned many villagers, but the villagers all said that Wang Zhaodi had not returned at all. Wang Tucheng had also been locking himself in his house these days and had not disappeared. They also asked about the whereabouts of Wang Shaodong and Chen Lihua, but the villagers all said that the couple suddenly left the village in the middle of the night and had not returned for a long time.

The police then questioned Li Guiqin, a neighbor, and her answer was the same as everyone else's.

The police found something suspicious. After returning to the hospital and conducting an investigation, they discovered that Wang Tucheng was the grandson of Bai Zhilan, a human trafficker who had recently been linked to online trafficking.

They had reason to believe that Wang Tucheng did this intentionally in an attempt to damage Zhou Yulan's reputation, so they attributed it all to revenge and decided to leave the matter alone.

When Wang Tucheng called the police again to inquire about the progress of the case, the police told him that there was insufficient evidence and they would not file a case, and then hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, the hospital began urging them to leave because they couldn't pay their medical bills.

Wang Tucheng didn't have much money left in his phone, so he had to go home to recuperate. During this time, Wang Miaomiao stayed by his side without ever abandoning him. Gradually, Wang Tucheng realized that he could only avoid starving if he accepted Wang Miaomiao, so the two naturally got together.
