Leap Forward Comics: Watch How I Become a Villainess

Chapter 287: Tracking

Lu He pushed the door open again and saw that Su Qing had fallen asleep due to the effects of the sedative.

The doctors and nurses had all left the ward. They told Lu He not to disturb the patient's rest and didn't interfere with anything else.

Lu He tiptoed to Su Qing's side, bent down, and carefully told Su Qing in her ear about the current situation of the person she hated.

Su Qing, who was fast asleep, could not wake up, but under her eyelids, her eyes could be seen struggling to move, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes again.

But unlike the pain just now, this time, tears welled up in her eyes, a hint of a smile played at the corners of her eyes, and a look of relief appeared on her lips.

Su Qing's sleeping expression was more peaceful than ever before.

She should be satisfied with the punishment given to Guo Qi.

It's better to be dead than to be alive; that's more satisfying than letting him die.

Because she was already living a life worse than death, it's really great that Guo Qi's future life will also be a living hell in the shadows.

Castrating him will cause him more pain than killing him.

Lu He quietly left the ward and departed from the hospital.

During Lu He's time at the hospital, Xia Lan also received a clue shared by Shen Tong: the unidentified female corpse was related to the school and might be a student.

Are there any missing students at the school? Xia Lan searched all morning, but apart from Zhou Ziyin, no one else was missing.

Besides Zhao Mingna, who is on leave from school to recover from her injury...

Could the deceased be Zhao Mingna?

However, according to Shen Tong, the deceased had been dead for four or five days, but Zhao Mingna had disappeared for nearly three months...

Why didn't her family call the police?

While these questions were on her mind, Xia Lan had already arrived at Zhao Mingna's door, where a familiar figure was standing.

"Huh? What brings you here too?" Xia Lan blurted out as she watched Shen Tong about to knock on the door.

"So you've also deduced that the deceased might be Zhao Mingna?" Shen Tong smiled.

After sharing the information in the morning, Shen Tong left Xia Lan behind and went to check on her own. Unexpectedly, the paths they used to search were almost identical.

“We’re all smart people, don’t hide it, let’s all come together.” Xia Lan generously extended the invitation and squeezed in, naturally pushing Shen Tong aside, and knocked on Zhao Mingna’s door.

No one responded.

This is an old neighborhood, and the houses are almost dilapidated. It's clear that Zhao Mingna's family isn't well-off.

There are many blurry marks on the wall by the entrance, like paint, and it's impossible to tell what they are, but you can vaguely make out that some words were originally written on them.

The stairwells in the old residential buildings are open, offering views of the bustling vegetable market and various street vendors below.

The place is very noisy and messy, and the conditions are also very serious.

The rusty iron railings in the stairwell always give people a sense of danger, as if they might fall down at any moment due to decay.

Shen Tong observed the surrounding environment, while Xia Lan continued to bang on the door.

Suddenly, a loud, energetic woman downstairs shouted, startling the two of them: "Who are you?!"

Looking downstairs, I saw an auntie standing downstairs carrying a bag of groceries; she looked like she had just come back from grocery shopping.

"Hello!" Xia Lan quickly replied, "Excuse me, is this Zhao Mingna's home?"

The auntie's loud voice said, "Wait a minute, I'll go upstairs and chat with you!"

After a while, the aunt came up empty-handed. Xia Lan and Shen Tong both noticed this detail; she probably wasn't Zhao Mingna's family member.

"What do you want with this family? What happened?" The aunt's eyes were bright, and she had an expression that suggested she was waiting to see what would happen.

Got it, you gossipy neighbor.

Shen Tong noticed the underlying meaning in her aunt's words: "Why do you ask that? Did something happen to this family before?"

"Oh dear, everyone around here knows Old Zhao. He got beaten up at his doorstep before. Oh dear, what a tragedy..." The aunt started to talk on and on.
