Chapter 31: The Uninvited Guest

  I'm a bit confused about what's going on. I just made a few phone calls and no one answered, so how did you suddenly show up here like this?

  He stared at me with two red eyes like a man-eating devil. If I wasn't bold since childhood, I would have been scared speechless by his appearance.

  "Xiao Shu, what's wrong?" I asked tremulously.

  "Xiao Shu? You must have a very good relationship with him?" The newcomer said with narrowed red eyes, gritting his teeth.

  Uh, mistaken identity. This red-eyed devil should be the long-lost Lí Xiǎoháo. I feel a chill run down my spine, unsure whether to grab the bag of breakfast next to me or the ashtray on the table and throw it at him.

  He grabbed his sister's IV bag and squeezed it hard, causing the drops in the drip chamber to fall rapidly.

  "No! Spare my sister, she's been unconscious the whole time, she hasn't done anything." Watching the rapidly dripping IV, my heart is about to jump out of my throat, at this rate, my older sister's heart won't last much longer.

  "Let Li Xiao Hao return the mail, otherwise she's dead for sure."

  When I heard this, I felt a little dizzy and the ground under my feet began to spin involuntarily.

  I held my head with both hands and said with difficulty: "Can't find him, I've been calling him since last night, but no one has answered until now."

  He didn't show any sign of backing down, "Alright, I'll give you three days. Find Li Xiao Su and retrieve the mail from him. If not, the Gu poison on your sister's body will be triggered at this time in three days."

  After finishing speaking, he let go of the IV bag, turned around and opened the door to walk out. The room door slammed shut behind him with a bang.

  This sudden scene really gave me a fright. The door had been closed for a long time, and my heart was still racing nonstop.

  "Alright, let me think carefully about the current situation. Li Xiao Hao didn't get the mailbox, but Li Xiao Shu did. No wonder yesterday when she saw me, she didn't mention a word about the mailbox. I originally thought he would have some reaction to my going to the Public Security Bureau to assist with the investigation, at least be somewhat opposed. But he didn't show any signs of it at all. He came to my sister's place just to wait for me to come over and see if I had gone to the Public Security Bureau. As expected, I appeared at the hospital, and not only did I appear, but Old He also appeared. He knew that the investigation was over, and the next step was how to get past Li Xiao Hao's surveillance at the Public Security Bureau and retrieve the mailbox. And he succeeded, getting his hands on the mailbox. Li Xiao Hao came up empty-handed, very angry, couldn't find Li Xiao Shu, so he came to the hospital to coerce me, using my sister who had been poisoned by the gu insect as a pawn in their brothers' internal conflict. In the end, my sister and I became the sacrificial pawns in their fraternal strife."

  I sighed, sat down. I'm probably at a loss for what to do now. I picked up my phone and dialed Li Xiaoshu's number, but no one answered on the other end of the line.

  "Xiao Yu..." I suddenly heard someone calling me

  As I looked up, Wang Jue was standing at the door of the bathroom. How could I not have thought of him? After he and my sister got into a car accident, they were sent to the hospital together and lived in adjacent rooms. Yesterday, when I came to see my sister, it was Li Xiaoshu, then Lao He, and then ran back home to see Wen Shu, completely forgetting that Wang Jue was living next door. He should be the person closest to my sister during this time. What does the address on that note mean? He is most likely to know.
