Welcome to the Misogyny Game

Chapter 55, the Aquarium Arc, concludes.

Therefore, after Pei Midu completed the task of meeting the female lead, he was placed in a mental hospital by Liu Chaoque after he traveled over, due to the needs of the plot.

Upon hearing such a haphazard account of his experience, Liu Chaoque was unsure whether to laugh or cry.

“Miss Liu, you must be careful,” Pei Midu said. “When your existence doesn’t fit the plot, that mysterious force will decide where you go, just like with me.” Pei Midu smiled.

"I know." Liu Chaoque smiled as well, touching the jade pendant on her chest. It was just a matter of slow death versus sudden death.

When he left, Liu Chaoque had a petal-shaped birthmark on his forehead, which quickly disappeared.

The plot is subtly changing.

Sifeng, who had been given a sedative, suddenly opened her eyes. The nurse guarding the door picked up the pills and syringe.

"This is

"Am I sick?" she asked, looking at the pristine white hospital bed and the tense nurses watching her.

In another mental hospital, a man who was clutching a blanket and fighting with an imaginary monkey for a child looked at his pillow and scratched his head: "What was I doing just now?"

According to our news report, patients from the Suzhou Mental Hospital recently escaped en masse. We urge all residents to remain vigilant and not to open the door to strangers.

If you discover an escaped patient, please contact the police immediately.

Mu Li turned off the TV and looked at Liu Chaoque, who was writhing and crawling. Yes, you read that right, that was Liu Chaoque crawling on the ground.

"Is this related to you?"

This story begins when Liu Chaoque left Pei Midu's room. She was still hesitant about whether to make the wish, but ever since she learned that even if she did nothing, she would one day end up like Pei Midu, she changed her mind.

Although she sensed that Pei Midu was enjoying himself, she wondered what if the plot led her to a terrible disaster, so she decided to go all out.

She made a wish: that all mental patients have the possibility of recovery, especially those who have recently developed mental illness.

Whether you die sooner or later, it's all the same; it's just a matter of probability, and it all depends on how lucky you are.

Pei Midu greatly appreciated her wish and decided to involve his ministers as well. The recovery of one or two mental patients was of no concern compared to the social impact of a large group of mental patients fleeing.

As expected, he has a deep understanding of trending topics.

However, the strange actions Liu Chaoque was doing at home weren't because her mind was being controlled; it was just a simple venting. Oh, right, one of her feet had gained consciousness, which seemed quite terrifying. But for some reason, Liu Chaoque could empathize with that foot and understand that it belonged to a young man who liked to go crazy. They made a pact: she couldn't cause trouble when Liu Chaoque was fighting, but she could move around freely in front of acquaintances at other times.

And so the above scene unfolded.

Mu Li accepted it well; perhaps he would only be slightly surprised if Liu Chaoque performed a pole dance and shaved his head in front of him.

"How did you figure it out?" Looking up at Mu Li was a bit tiring for Liu Chaoque, so she stood up. Her energetic left leg seemed to have exhausted its energy and now obediently followed her movements.

"Isn't it obvious?" Mu Li said, "We were only separated for a short while, and we were together the rest of the time. Moreover, the incident happened at the mental hospital we went to today. If you wanted to cause trouble, that would be the time."

Liu Chaoque was drenched in sweat, and scratched his right foot with his left foot.

"And your legs changed around that time too. Was it an evil curse, a sacrifice after making a deal with the devil, or...?" His eyes sharpened. "A new soul?"

No, do you have X-ray vision?

Liu Chaoque felt that the atmosphere was extremely strange. Her left leg was shaking like she had Parkinson's disease. She was a little worried that she might trip over her left foot when she fought in the future. If that happened, her opponent would laugh their heads off. It seemed that it was time to learn to fight on one leg. Fighting as a disabled person was troublesome no matter how you looked at it.

Unaware that his tension had led the original owner of the leg to abandon it, the left leg simply found the man terrifying, wondering how he could be so accurate.

Fortunately, the knocking broke the silence. Liu Chaoque looked gratefully at the person who entered, but when she saw that it was Zhao Yuhan and Zhao Xiaomei's bodyguard, she panicked. Regardless of the atmosphere, she hurriedly asked, "Why are you here? Did something happen to them?"

"Don't worry, miss, they are safe," the man said.

"Then what are you doing here?" Liu Chaoque asked, puzzled.

The man looked at her and then at Mu Li, hesitating to speak. Mu Li said that there were no outsiders here, and Liu Chaoque could hear whatever was going on.

Thank you for your trust, but curiosity killed the cat. Oh, so you are a cat, never mind. She already knows the secret that even Mu Li is a cat—a secret known to probably only a handful of people in the world. What secret wouldn't she want to hear?

"It's about what Miss Zhao and the others said to the young master and young lady," the man said tactfully. "It wasn't very pleasant."

Oh, so the bodyguards overheard Zhao Yuhan and the others talking badly about them. But Liu Chaoque thought with little interest, "They don't need to report in such detail. They can be happy when they don't know, and they're still happy when they do know. Isn't that just deceiving themselves and adding to their troubles?"

"Speak," Mu Li said, not thinking so. He really wanted to know what bad things these two had said that made his bodyguard so conflicted.

The bodyguard simply repeated what they had said in the hospital room, without emphasizing anything, just stating the facts objectively, which made both of them fall silent.

After a long silence, Mu Li waved for the bodyguards to leave, continuing to protect the two of them.

"Mu Li, do you think I'm someone who brings misfortune?" It's like the Grim Reaper; although no one dies, it's like being cut by a dull knife, which hurts even more.

She initially thought it was the aura of the female and male leads that caused trouble for those around them, but now she realized that perhaps these things were not accidental, but rather a scheme set up by someone to drag her down as the female lead. However, after listening to Zhao Yuhan and the others, Liu Chaoque recalled the events before she met the male lead, which seemed to be the only murder she had ever committed.

From this perspective, perhaps the male lead neutralized the female lead's bad luck. But that doesn't make sense either. Xu Wangchuan isn't the male lead, nor is Mu Li. Yet, they didn't become unhappy when they were with them. Could it be because they are the main characters?

She really couldn't figure it out.

"They're talking nonsense! Siman, don't take these words to heart." Mu Li's first words after a long silence were these. He didn't answer Liu Chaoque's question, but said angrily, "They say we bring them misfortune, shouldn't they look at their own problems?"

He looked at Liu Chaoque again and said helplessly, "Although I don't know what decision you made or where you placed yourself when I left, I believe that everything you do is well thought out. I believe in every decision you make, and I hope you can tell me your decision. Otherwise, I feel that being your sugar daddy is meaningless."

"Besides, I asked you to protect me. I won't restrict your freedom or right to choose, but there's clearly something wrong with your leg, so I should have the right to know."

Liu Chaoque nodded, and Mu Li thought she understood her feelings, but she only heard her say, "I will return all the money you temporarily deposited with me. After deducting some rent and necessary expenses, there will be about 100,000 left."

"You promised to be my bodyguard, but it's more like we're living together. Now that I don't even have the chance to use force, let's settle our accounts and part ways." Liu Chaoque opened his phone and was about to enter the password to transfer money to Mu Li.

Mu Li slapped her phone away, and it fell to the ground, the cause of which was unknown.

Liu Chaoque's eyes widened. Even though you bought this phone, right...

"I don't want you to leave." Mu Li hugged Liu Chaoque: "You know I'm being rude. I just want to know what happened to you. I'm so scared that one day you won't be like yourself anymore."

"Could it be that after all these days together, I'm such a cold person that I'd just abandon you the moment you have a problem? Let me tell you, that's impossible!" Mu Li hugged him even tighter, as if afraid that if he let go, this person would coldly cut ties with him.

He didn't have a fixed house, and he only moved in because Liu Chaoque was kind-hearted. Although she said she took him in because of money, during their time together, he had a very low desire to spend money. The things he liked didn't cost much, and it seemed that his presence or absence didn't make much difference.

He was terrified that one day he would be alone again, facing those wolves and tigers, wearing a smiling mask as he faced those humans.

Perhaps the final outcome cannot be changed, but at least this warmth can last a little longer, much longer.

Feeling a bit breathless from being hugged, Liu Chaoque punched Mu Li's back to wake him up. She had originally intended to knock Mu Li unconscious with a chop to the neck, but seeing his miserable state, she decided against it. He woke up and became even more agitated.

"Let go," Liu Chaoque said coldly.

Mu Li obediently let go, like a child who had made a mistake, hanging her head and waiting for the teacher's reprimand.

Liu Chaoque sighed, rubbed Mu Li's head, and said helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that this matter cannot be known by only two people."

"Is it a secret?" Mu Li looked directly at her, observing her expression.

She nodded with a serious expression, without the slightest hint of guilt.

Mu Li nodded reluctantly: "Okay, I understand."

"I don't want you to get involved, and I don't want you to disappear," Liu Chaoque thought with a wry smile. But the system, which usually made a fuss even about confessions on the background, was now as if it had been put on silent. Perhaps after Pei Midu was abandoned, the system had automatically ignored him.

"Will you be alright?" Mu Li looked at Liu Chaoque's left leg, and instinctively tried to hide it behind her right leg, but Liu Chaoque held it down with a forced smile: "Behave yourself, or I'll interrupt you!"

Left Leg knew she was serious; even if his left leg was broken, Liu Chaoque would be a cripple.

He stopped shaking, and his legs became as limp as a quail's.

"No," Liu Chaoque assured him.

"Alright then," Mu Li said.

Sometimes he wondered why, in those online novels, when the female lead changed her identity, no one suspected anything, and they even naturally assumed that she had turned over a new leaf.

He scoffed at the time, thinking that only someone who didn't care about her would think that way. The original female lead was too tragic, and now Liu Chaoque might have the same experience.

Mu Li wondered what would happen if Si Man was no longer Si Man in the end. He would probably lock her up until Si Man came back.

And if she doesn't come back, then Siman's body should be completely clean.

The two then returned to the topic that had been interrupted.

"Let's not even talk about Zhao Xiaomei. We would never have run into Zhao Yuhan otherwise. If no one had stirred things up and let Mo Yun meet them at the supermarket, we might have seen them on the news, or if you were unlucky, on your way to rescue them," Mu Li said indignantly. "It's impossible for someone to keep running into cases and say it's their fault. Even the most confused judge wouldn't rule like that. So, do we have to say that all those brave and fearless people, those who sacrificed their lives, deserved it?"

Liu Chaoque shook his head: "They are great, we cannot slander them."

“You are great too.” Mu Li said with a smile, “No one wants to keep running into cases, and no one has the courage to rush into a fire to save someone who is about to die. You not only risked your life to save people, but you were also willing to risk the lives of those animals. You are such a kind and brave person. How could they slander you?”

Liu Chaoque felt embarrassed by all the praise.

"Then there's Wu Sifeng. She was planted by that mysterious person, and when it would explode was already predetermined; it was just a matter of sooner or later. It's already strange that a person can understand the sound of sharks. Although sometimes the brain does things that are difficult to explain scientifically, being able to understand a completely unknown language without a teacher is like a person being able to resonate with Hua Luogeng when they're in a hurry—that's completely impossible." Mu Li analyzed, "There's only one possibility: Wu Sifeng's accident wasn't an accident at all."

Liu Chaoque suddenly realized: "I was just wondering why Wu Sifeng had an accident at the aquarium, but I didn't expect that she had actually been involved in the scheme for a long time." This person knows everything about Wu Sifeng, and perhaps those great white sharks were not a coincidence.

Then it wouldn't be difficult for her to do what she did next.

"This person really has incredible patience," she couldn't help but remark. "He's also a very formidable opponent."

"So you still think it's your own problem?" Mu Li asked.

Liu Chaoque shook his head.

All the mental patients at Qingshan Mental Hospital escaped, leaving only Wu Sifeng and a few other patients who stayed quietly in the hospital.

The dean initially thought it was Pei Midu who did it, but Pei Midu did not escape. The hospital's surveillance cameras happened to be broken that night, and he had no evidence. In addition, Pei Midu's calm and composed demeanor made the dean lack the courage to be harsh.

"Reporting to the Dean, the patient in bed 21 has normal test results, but is now insisting on being discharged." The head nurse knocked on the Dean's office door.

"Patient in bed 21, I remember her name is Wu Sifeng, she's a criminal in a case, let's send her to the police station and hand her over to them." The hospital director sighed.

Wu Sifeng returned to that small room, but seemed to have a different feeling about it.

She no longer insisted on taking full responsibility, but instead told everyone she knew.

Following the new leads provided by Muli and her group, the police launched a new round of investigations.

The court acquitted him, but the aquarium was punished for inadequate supervision.

Zhao Xiaomei was transferred to another hospital, where several orthopedic specialists treated her. When Sifeng finally came out of prison, she was still wearing the same clothes she had worn when she went in, but she looked more weathered. She looked at the two people who came to pick her up, hugged them, and cried, venting her pain and resentment.

Liu Chaoque and Mu Li stood at a distance, watching the three of them embrace and weep.
