Chapter 47 Anger and Sorrow
“A-Le, Brother, if you're short on cash, just forget about it, really, just forget about it.” The cousin was obviously scared; there was even a hint of a sob in his voice.
They were grasshoppers tied to the same rope; it wasn’t a matter of who was threatening whom. Of course, he had only intended to use this favor to mooch some more money.
If he pushed his cousin too far…
Yes, his cousin was the mastermind; what about him?
He was also a participant, even acting as a go-between. His crime might not be lighter than his cousin's. As for that truck driver, he was practically a hitman.
Therefore, he didn't dare push his cousin too hard; he was also afraid.
Zhou Ze finally understood why Xu Le had so little money after he possessed Xu Le's body. The bookstore's losses were one aspect, but the other aspect was that Xu Le had spent most of his money on that matter.
It was absurd,
It was ridiculous,
In the end,
The cause of his death was actually such a result.
Dejectedly sitting back in the chair, Zhou Ze looked at the shards of glass stuck in his palm, watching his blood drip non-stop.
He didn't stop the bleeding, nor did he feel much pain.
In fact, he found it all rather amusing.
Even the best black humor play couldn't write the irony he was feeling now, could it?
That man he always thought was cowardly,
Lacking backbone,
Useless,
Even so pathetic that he felt a little sorry for him,
Was actually the mastermind behind hiring someone to kill him!
Everything came full circle, as if returning to a complete loop.
Yes,
You could say karma comes around!
Yes,
You could understand it as fate!
Yes,
You could cheer that heaven has eyes, and those who cheat will always have to pay!
But these were all the views of onlookers. In the eyes of onlookers, they expected to see a story of sin end with the bad guy being punished and the good guy being compensated.
This would make onlookers feel very safe, make them feel good,
And put them in a good mood to eat two more bowls of rice at dinner.
However,
Who could pay for his original life?
Zhou Ze lowered his head slightly, his body began to convulse slowly,
A strong sense of anger began to fill his entire body.
Doctor Zhou,
Director Zhou,
He had come out of the orphanage, every step fraught with difficulty!
He had no connections, no background, and he had relied on his own efforts and strength to climb up in the hospital system, while adhering to his medical ethics and hoping to achieve greater success and a higher position.
He had been cautious, as if walking on thin ice!
He had finally climbed to that position at that age,
He had finally become famous in the circle with his medical skills,
How much sweat had he shed?
The encouragement he gave himself time and time again when lying in bed late at night,
Even, how many times had he gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger!
Gone,
All gone!
Just because of that bastard waste,
He discovered his wife's secret love for him,
His own wife didn't sleep with him,
He felt wronged,
He was angry,
He was unwilling!
He wouldn't reflect on why he had given up all dignity to become an live-in son-in-law,
He wouldn't reflect on why he was looked down upon everywhere,
He wouldn't reflect on himself,
Nor would he reflect on himself,
He aimed the target of his anger at himself!
It would be one thing if he really had some unclear relationship with his wife,
But at that time, he had completely forgotten about that intern, Little Meng, he had supervised many years ago!
He was completely unaware,
But on the way home from work, at the traffic light intersection where he was carrying a cake and gifts to celebrate Children's Day with the children at the orphanage,
The truck driver who had taken the money,
Just stepped on the gas,
And directly crushed the life he had worked so hard to build!
"A-Le, Brother, well, I'll go first. Take care of yourself."
The cousin didn't dare to linger here any longer. He turned and pushed open the bookstore's glass door to leave. He still had to pick up his old man from the hospital and take him home. Plus, with Zhou Ze's current situation, he was really afraid of stimulating this cousin of his, who was usually a bit of a literary youth, weak and bookish, but when he got ruthless, even he was afraid!
"I'm going to kill that guy, kill him! Use the money I got from her to kill him, ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The cousin still remembered the twisted look on his cousin's face half a year ago that evening when his cousin put several stacks of money in front of him and said these words.
This cousin, whom he had secretly laughed at, thinking he was soft, cowardly, and even willing to sell himself for a better life, even to the point where his children couldn't bear his surname,
In that twilight,
Completely changed the image he had of him in his heart.
Looking at his cousin's back, Zhou Ze's bleeding palm, his nails grew out and receded again and again.
Strands of black energy swirled around his fingertips.
Zhou Ze's eyes also had a blood-colored and black, violent luster intertwined.
This was his enemy,
One of the masterminds behind his murder,
He wanted to keep this person here forever,
He wanted to let Bai Yingying use this person as food, suck all the blood from his body, and turn him into a dried corpse!
But, he just left like that,
And Zhou Ze, from beginning to end,
Didn't make a move.
He didn't even stand up and shout, "Stop!"
Reason,
This damned reason,
This reason that made people despair and almost collapse!
Zhou Ze knew that he couldn't kill him.
Even if he didn't care about his identity as a Ghost Messenger and the other consequences caused by avenging himself,
Just say, if he killed him,
What would the driver in prison think after learning about this?
Would he think that he was killing him to silence him?
Then, would he have to go and kill that driver as well?
Yes, the driver was the number one hitman who murdered him!
It was that damned bastard who had been staring at him that night, and then ran a red light at the traffic light intersection and crashed into him!
The cousin deserved to die,
That driver deserved to die even more!
But if he killed these two people, no matter what means he used to hide or arrange some kind of accident scene,
The police would definitely be able to detect the abnormality.
At that time, a line would also become clear!
Actually,
The most critical thing was that the person who really spent money to hire someone to kill was the current Zhou Ze!
He was the real mastermind!
If he wanted to take revenge, killing them would be equivalent to exposing himself.
They had already ruined his first life,
Could it be that,
He would have to ruin the chance he had finally gotten to possess a corpse because of them?
Ruin,
His current second life?
Zhou Ze clenched his fists and slammed them heavily on the counter.
"Bang!"
A burst of dizziness,
Zhou Ze staggered, retreating several steps, his back against the corner of the wall, and slowly sat down.
His blood-soaked hand covered his eyes,
The other hand unconsciously scraped against the tiles.
You were angry,
But you had no way to vent,
This,
Fucking life!
This damned justice,
This karma that was simply like a bastard!
In my last life, I saved a lot of people, and helped a lot of people!!!
Tears dripped from the corners of Zhou Ze's eyes,
Everyone has their own vulnerable times, the only thing they can do is to cover their tearful eyes with their hands;
Everyone also has their own times when they complain about the world and resent the injustice of the world. Not everyone is a pure robot, always able to calmly analyze themselves when they encounter something.
In his last life, Zhou Ze didn't think he had done anything wrong. In his hands, the lives of many patients were saved, and the lives and families of many people were rescued by him.
He didn't let things drift, nor did he go along with the crowd. Even though he had a strong desire to climb up and advance, he still adhered to his principles as a person and as a doctor. Therefore, when he climbed up, the difficulty he faced and the effort he needed to put in were greater than those who would bow their heads!
In the corner of the counter, there was a piece of hell money lying there,
It should have been one of the paper bills he burned that night that was left over.
Just like what Bai Yingying said, the hell money given by the dead was equivalent to Yin virtue.
Heh,
Perhaps it was because in his last life, the heavens saw that he had accumulated too much virtue, so they gave him compensation in this life.
Let him "reborn," directly possess a beautiful wife, let him own a bookstore, and even, in order to show his "clear sky and bright sun" brilliance,
Let him come out of hell, when his soul was swaying and about to collapse and dissipate on the side of the road,
He ran into Xu Le, who was mistakenly killed by a petty thief.
Let him inherit Xu Le's life.
Let this guy who was originally the mastermind behind his murder pay the price that the heavens thought was justified.
But... who asked him, Zhou Ze, if he agreed?
To the point that,
He had made himself into what he was now,
Unable to even take revenge!
When that bastard walked up to him and talked about hiring someone to run over that doctor,
He could only sit there dejectedly,
Without moving!
The afterglow of the setting sun,
Scattered on the corners of the bookstore's entrance,
Taking away today,
The last trace of warmth.
"By the way, I just developed a new strawberry juice. Would you like to try the flavor first, and then I can make some improvements?" Xu Qinglang pushed open the door and walked in, holding a wine glass.
Seeing Zhou Ze sitting in the corner with blood all over his hands, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately put down the strawberry juice and ran over, squatting down next to Zhou Ze.
"What's wrong with you?" Xu Qinglang asked.
"Why... this isn't fair... no... this damn fairness." Zhou Ze muttered to himself.
Xu Qinglang was silent. He didn't know what had happened to Zhou Ze to make him like this. The Zhou Ze he had always known had always been very rational and detached no matter what.
Even in his rigor and stiffness, he would occasionally joke with you. He was a very self-disciplined person, but self-disciplined people were often more helpless when they collapsed after encountering a blow.
At this time, Zhou Ze made Xu Qinglang seem to see himself when the little loli took away his parents' souls in the store that day.
He complained about unfairness,
Because the Zhou Ze next door was also a ghost,
But the little loli let him exist, and instead took away the souls of his parents.
Xu Qinglang sighed,
He reached out and put his arm around Zhou Ze's shoulder, letting Zhou Ze's forehead rest on his chest, and also echoed along:
"Brother, although I don't know what happened, I can empathize with your emotions right now.
Even the most awesome Chopin can't play our sadness."
