“Mr. Fang, I have already confessed. I’ll return the money to you. Y-You can let me go. I swear I will never do such a guilty thing again in my life.” Dr. Liu had been living in regret these days. When he had heard that the child’s corpse had been stolen, he had felt even guiltier.

  Although he felt guilty toward the child, he still wanted to live.

  Fang Mu took a deep breath, and the redness in his eyes faded. His knife left Dr. Liu’s neck. Just as Dr. Liu thought Fang Mu was going to let him off, Fang Mu put the tip of the knife between his eyebrows.

  Fang Mu exerted force on his wrist and held the dagger with his right hand. The tip of the knife went down from Dr. Liu’s glabella to his nose, leaving a trail of blood.

  Dr. Liu cried out in pain. He could see the red blood flowing down his nose.

  Putting away the knife, Fang Mu looked at Dr. Liu, who was trembling from the pain, as if he were looking at garbage. He coldly said, “People who disregard human lives are not fit to be doctors. I won’t kill you, but don’t let me see you in Binjiang City again.”


  Dr. Liu held his bleeding wound and repeatedly nodded. “Yes, yes! I’ll move out of Binjiang City with my family today!”

  Qiao Jiuyin was still very weak. Not long after Qiao Jiusheng left, she fell asleep.

  She woke up again because of Xu Pingfei’s voice on the phone.

  Sensing that her daughter-in-law was awake, Xu Pingfei said to the person on the other end of the phone, “I have something to do. I’ll hang up first. Let’s talk later.” She hung up and walked to Qiao Jiuyin’s bed from the window.

  “Did I wake you up?” Xu Pingfei felt a little guilty.

  Qiao Jiuyin shook her head and curiously asked, “Aunt Xu, who was on the phone? Why are you so angry?”


  The anger on Xu Pingfei’s face had yet to dissipate, and her face was gloomy. Clearly, she was angry.

  When Xu Pingfei heard this question, her eyes flickered. She was unwilling to tell Qiao Jiuyin.

  Qiao Jiuyin’s heart sank, and she asked again, “Aunt Xu, what happened? Is it related to me?”


  Seeing that she could not hide it, Xu Pingfei finally told her, “Fang Mu is really obsessed. That woman caused you to lose a child and made you suffer so much. Not only did Fang Mu spare her, but he even protected her!

  “You were still in the hospital and couldn’t move, so he ran to the police station and told the police that he wouldn’t pursue the matter with Hu Yao!

  “Just now, Yu An called and said that Hu Yao has been released. She has already left Binjiang City and ran to France!”


  Xu Pingfei gritted her teeth in hatred. She hated Fang Mu for doting on that woman and hated that woman for being vicious.

  Qiao Jiuyin was a little confused after hearing Xu Pingfei’s words.

  Qiao Jiuyin did not believe that Fang Mu would fall in love with the lowly Hu Yao.

  At the thought of this possibility, a chill ran up Qiao Jiusheng’s body, from her feet to her head.

  As if to verify her guess, the door to the ward was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Fang Mu strode in, a thin man in a suit and glasses beside him. The thin man looked knowledgeable and held a black leather bag.

  When Xu Pingfei saw Fang Mu, she quickly walked over to scold him. “Fang Mu, how can you be so heartless? That woman made Jiusheng suffer so much. How can you let that vixen go!” As a woman, Xu Pingfei still sympathized with women.
