She kicked open the door, "Yang Shuo, you've got some nerve! How dare you stand me up! Do you know tonight was supposed to be about discussing going abroad with my father!"
Yang Shuo heard the door being kicked open and was about to get angry, but after hearing her words, his expression changed.
After putting away the container, he pulled Dr. Zhao to sit down, "I truly had an emergency today. Look at this."
Dr. Zhao, being a medical professional, couldn't help but recognize what was floating in the container.
A look of disgust crossed her face, "Why did you bring this thing back!"
Yang Shuo, a master of deception, lied smoothly, "A friend asked me to retrieve this, and it was extremely important, which is why I missed dinner with your father tonight. Can you talk to him for me? We'll go back tomorrow night, alright?"
It was rare for Yang Shuo to humble himself before Dr. Zhao, and coupled with a few sweet words, she let the matter drop.
"Then you better remember, you must go back tomorrow."
Yang Shuo nodded and, under the pretense of having more work, saw Dr. Zhao out.
Qin Chang, standing nearby, watched Yang Shuo with scorn and fury in her eyes.
However, Yang Shuo then revealed a shocking secret to her!
It turned out the child Dr. Zhao had forced him to marry for was not Yang Shuo's, but hers from her own promiscuity.
Dr. Zhao also had a medical condition, meaning if she aborted the child, she would never be able to have children again. That's why she targeted Yang Shuo.
Yang Shuo agreed not only because he was attracted to Dr. Zhao's family background but also because his own sperm motility was very low, making it difficult for him to have children.
Since he was unlikely to have children in the future anyway, Yang Shuo hardened his heart, wore the green hat, and became the nominal father.
Furthermore, because the child's origin was unclear, Yang Shuo was unwilling to make his relationship with Zhao Yun public.
Yang Shuo revealed this to reassure Qin Chang, letting her know he had already faced the consequences.
Unexpectedly, Qin Chang didn't appreciate it. "So, the child we lost before was the only one you'll ever have?"
Yang Shuo explained, "That child was an accident. If the child had been in your womb, I would never have married Zhao Yun!"
Qin Chang didn't believe his lies and simply vanished from Yang Shuo's sight.
In a way, this was an accidental way to get rid of Qin Chang, and Yang Shuo breathed a sigh of relief.
Having a dead person constantly around him made Yang Shuo break out in a cold sweat.
The next morning, Dr. Zhao Yun came to his door.
Although Yang Shuo had given an excuse yesterday, Zhao Yun didn't believe him. She secretly called someone at the hospital and found out Yang Shuo had gone to the rooftop to meet someone.
After finding out who it was, Zhao Yun, seething with anger, rushed to the hospital as soon as it was dawn.
She unleashed a torrent of abuse on Ning Wei, inadvertently revealing her relationship with Yang Shuo.
Ning Wei winked at Zhu Yilian and opened the ward door. Soon, the doorway was crowded.
By the time Yang Shuo arrived, the farce was nearing its end.
Ning Wei looked at Yang Shuo and waved, "Dr. Yang, quickly take your wife away!"
Yang Shuo, embarrassed, pulled Zhao Yun and left.
This incident made it clear to everyone that Yang Shuo was married, and he and Zhao Yun were husband and wife.
With this identity exposed, Zhao Yun's father could no longer secretly arrange for Yang Shuo to go abroad for a golden future.
The drama didn't end there. Ning Wei approached Kong Mingqian and asked her to do something, promising to help her in return.
Kong Mingqian, accustomed to being a pawn, readily agreed.
Before long, news spread that Dr. Zhao Yun had slipped on the stairs and fallen, suffering severe injuries. It was rumored she would be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of her life.
As agreed, Yang Shuo was to hand over the container to Ning Wei.
After settling Zhao Yun, Yang Shuo hurried over and gestured for Ning Wei to untie the red string on her wrist.
Ning Wei complied readily. Once she had the container, she immediately untied the string.
Yang Shuo felt the chill recede from his body and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is there nothing else for me to do now?" Yang Shuo asked Ning Wei expectantly.
Ning Wei nodded, "You're free to go. You can scram."
Yang Shuo wasn't angered by this treatment and quickly left the ward.
Ning Wei took the container to the morgue and placed it with the urn.
The tradition here was to rest in peace, so the old man took Ning Wei to a secluded grove on the hospital grounds, where they buried Qin Chang's urn together.
With this, Qin Chang's funeral rites were finally complete.
She appeared before the old man, "Grandpa, thank you."
The old man waved his hand, "Go on, you should be going."
Qin Chang smiled and waved goodbye to the old man, who, unwilling to face another separation, had already turned and walked away.
Ning Wei felt the train ticket in her pocket and looked at Qin Chang with a smile.
At this moment, Ning Wei flicked her finger, and a drop of blood flew to Qin Chang's brow. She chanted words under her breath.
The soul that was slowly fading away began to emit white smoke. Qin Chang cried out to Ning Wei, "No..."
However, her words couldn't keep up with the dissipating smoke.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Chang completely vanished, forever!
The old man, having walked far away, was completely unaware of what had happened.
"You did so many wicked deeds and still want to reincarnate? I'll make sure you don't even get a chance to dig for wild vegetables!"
"Ning Wei, thank you!" Kong Mingqian suddenly appeared. She hadn't expected Ning Wei to actually act.
Ning Wei, however, said, "I merely made a deal with you."
Ning Wei would never admit that she was acting on behalf of heaven.
The matters at the hospital were now concluded. Ning Wei walked towards the hospital entrance, her patient gown replaced by her own clothes.
Zhu Yilian and the others were already waiting at the hospital entrance, and the eerie bus flashed its headlights twice.
Ning Wei saw the conductor inside the bus and strode towards it.
"Is everything handled?" Mei Nan asked Ning Wei.
Ning Wei nodded, "Let's go."
The instigator of everything that happened here was Yang Shuo, whose greed had indirectly caused Qin Chang's death.
However, from Ning Wei's perspective, Qin Chang was the one she hated the most among these people.
A love-struck fool, who even in death clung to this philandering man!
Making her soul scatter was the best ending for her!
As for Yang Shuo, he had lost his chance to go abroad and would spend the rest of his life looking after a paralyzed Zhao Yun. This was his fate!
The passengers walked up to the bus, presented their tickets, and boarded one by one.
Ning Wei was always the last.
When she reached the conductor, she whispered, "Twenty-five. I knew you'd have casualties this time!"
There was an unmistakable smugness in her words, but Ning Wei didn't care.
"As long as the people I want to protect are still alive, that's enough!"
