Chapter 266
Thud!
Liu Sibo released her. Not a trace of emotion remained in his eyes.
“Brother Fei, sometimes I wish she had died like she did in reality. Then I would know none of this and could remain a carefree fool.”
Liu Sibo smiled. With the blood on his face, the sight was chilling.
Brother Biao and the others did not dare look at him. The Priest in particular felt a strange connection between them and believed he would eventually die by Liu Sibo’s hand.
“Let’s go.”
“Where?”
“The hospital!”
Xiaoshuai turned and walked out. Zhao Ze had been beaten badly and was surely being treated at the hospital. His “parents” should be there too. Better to drive the knife in all at once.
“I’ll warn you first. Your biological parents may not be as…”
“I understand!”
Liu Sibo cut him off.
“The person who created all this wants me to despair, doesn’t he? Everything was carefully selected. My biological parents should be the same.”
Liu Sibo sounded indifferent.
Xiaoshuai said no more. He had asked John to investigate and, surprisingly, Zhao Ze’s Zhao Family truly had a connection to John’s Zhao Family.
They were distant relatives. The Zhao Family had too many branches, so John had known nothing about them during the Chongmen Island incident.
“What meticulous planning.”
Xiaoshuai rubbed his head. He knew exactly what the Zhao Family was like. In his estimation, another blade awaited the boy.
Just then, Liu Ye rubbed his eyes and woke. He looked around blankly, noticed Liu Sibo’s expression, and immediately patted him.
“Xiao Bo, what’s wrong? Are you unhappy? Tell me who made you unhappy. I’ll beat them up!”
Liu Ye waved a little fist. Looking at his “ferocious” face, Liu Sibo smiled again.
He hugged Liu Ye, startling Brother Biao and the others. He had just killed Zhaodi with the same move. Then they remembered this was Liu Ye and instantly stopped worrying.
“Liu Ye, I’m so glad I met you.”
“Hm? What do you mean?” Liu Ye asked.
“I mean you’re a very good child.”
Liu Ye scratched his head with a silly grin.
“Hehe. I’m not that good!”
Brother Guiwa had said good children must be modest.
Watching them, Xiaoshuai suddenly had an idea. He turned to Liu Sibo.
“Want to have some fun?”
Liu Sibo froze, then read Xiaoshuai’s thoughts. His expression became strange.
“Why… would you do that? To all of you… I’m only an NPC.”
He had long learned his situation by reading Brother Biao and the others’ minds. The events afterward had simply shocked him too deeply to think about it.
“What’s an NPC?” Liu Ye asked.
“Someone unimportant,” Brother Biao explained.
Liu Ye immediately became angry.
“Xiao Bo isn’t unimportant! Xiao Bo… Xiao Bo is very important!”
“Liu Ye…”
“Xiao Bo, don’t be sad! If they don’t want you, I do! Come on, let’s play Invincible Little Flyer without them!”
Liu Sibo: “…”
I had just let my feelings out…
He hurriedly agreed to countless unfair terms before Liu Ye abandoned the idea.
After Liu Ye’s interruption, however, his mood felt… even heavier!
He looked at Xiaoshuai.
“Liu Ye is a child now and doesn’t understand what happened, but why are you doing this?”
“Because I’m unhappy too. I’m not a good person. I’ll use any means necessary to complete a mission. If this were someone else, I wouldn’t care whether they lived or died.”
That was why he had nearly killed John in Liuxi Village. Looking back, it frightened him.
“But the thing I hate most is walking a road someone else laid out for me!”
He glanced at Liu Ye. Setting aside Brother Liu’s unreliability, Xiaoshuai genuinely liked doing missions with him. Apart from matters involving Brother Liu himself, there was nothing else to consider. If they wanted to blow something up, they blew it up!
“I can’t resist the larger design, but I can still change the details. So, want to have some fun?”
Liu Sibo looked deeply at him, then smiled.
“Yes.”
…
A little over ten minutes later, they reached Huicheng Hospital.
The viewers immediately sighed at the sight.
“Look while you can. Soon it’ll be gone forever!”
“Yeah. My family lives nearby. Being close to the hospital used to raise our property value, but now… we can’t sell even at rock-bottom prices!”
“How was this hospital destroyed?”
“I heard the director refused to heed the warnings and asked Liu Ye to tell his fortune. The hospital exploded the next day!”
“Right, right! That’s what I heard too.”
John: “…”
The process was slightly wrong, but the result was correct.
Soon, Xiaoshuai and the others reached Zhao Ze’s ward. A man and woman were crying outside.
“My poor child! Boo-hoo…”
The couple immediately noticed the approaching group. Their expressions changed when they saw Liu Sibo.
“Y-you… Why are you here?”
Zhao Ze’s mother stammered.
“So you knew back then too. May I ask why you switched the children?”
Xiaoshuai went straight to the point.
She panicked and looked toward her husband. He froze, then quickly regained his composure and approached without expression.
“Simple. He couldn’t speak.”
“The Zhao Family is a distinguished Huicheng family. Every member is exceptional. If people learned we had produced a mute, the entire family would be humiliated throughout Huicheng.”
“That was the only reason?”
“Not the only one. After he was born, I asked a master to divine his fate. He was born under a demonic star. If he remained in the Zhao Family, he would eventually destroy us. For the family’s safety, this was our only choice.”
Liu Sibo’s expression did not change. He had already guessed. Why would he be surprised?
“Xiao Bo, don’t blame us. Blame your unfortunate fate…”
“Whose fate are you calling unfortunate?”
A voice sounded. Zhao Ze’s father stared in astonishment as John approached with several men in black.
“J-J-John?”
He was stunned. How could John be here? They were such distant relatives that they barely counted as kin. Even so, borrowing the Zhao name had allowed him to establish himself in Huicheng, and he took immense pride in belonging to the family.
How could he not be excited when the head of the Zhao Family stood before him? He hurriedly produced a business card.
The viewers were astonished too. Why was John inside this world?
“Wait. I’ve seen the real John. This one looks… smaller than the one I met!”
“Young Master John! I’m Zhao Sanshan, from Sanshan…”
