Chapter 449: Retaliation

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

At a loss for clues, someone in the police department mentioned that the Mei family seemed to have recently dismissed a group of employees, catching the attention of the head of the detective team.

He immediately found those individuals, but unfortunately, after a series of inquiries, they provided no useful information.

Little did they know that the employees dismissed by the Mei family harbored deep hatred toward Mei Mu and wouldn’t speak for her.

On the contrary, they were hoping to use this situation to their advantage, impress Mei Shu, and return to work for the Mei family.

The police spent a great deal of effort investigating, but the conclusion they reached was unsatisfactory.

Upon learning this, Mei Mu was furious and overturned the bedside table in her hospital room.

Later that afternoon, she received the hospital’s claim bill and a notice to continue paying the hospitalization fees.

The room Mei Shu arranged for her was one of the most luxurious in the hospital, costing thousands of dollars per day.

Mei Mu had no money at all now. She used to be extravagant and had no savings at all. Now she had been driven out by the Mei family, and Mei Yun, still lying in the hospital, couldn’t give her any living expenses.

Now she was reduced to a pauper and was about to be kicked out of the hospital.

In the afternoon, a nurse reminded her again.

Mei Mu, looking disheveled, her eyes vacant, pleaded, “Give me some more time. I’ll have my family come to pay soon!”

“Alright,” the nurse assumed her family was temporarily busy and hadn’t found time to come to the hospital. Therefore, she didn’t press further.

But only Mei Mu knew best that she didn’t even have a caregiver now. How could anyone come to pay her hospitalization fees?

Full of hatred, she bit her teeth but could do nothing. Under the immense pressure of humiliation, she took the initiative to dial Mei Shu’s number for the first time.

That evening, Mei Shu went to her hospital room.

Mei Mu no longer had the confident look she had when she was acquitted.

She wore ill-fitting hospital clothes, her hair was a mess and hadn’t been washed for days. The things on the table were in disarray, and there was a half-eaten steamed bun with a bite taken out of it, now dried and unappetizing.

“You finally decided to see me.” Mei Mu’s smile was sinister as she leaned against the bedhead, her face devoid of color.

Mei Shu brought a clean chair and sat on the edge of her bed, slowly saying, “It seems I came too early. Aren’t you spirited?”

Mei Mu sneered, weakly lifting the corners of her mouth, “I know you’re retaliating against me. You want me dead, but I’m still alive and well. What can you do to me?”

Mei Shu really didn’t know what confidence this person had to show off at this point.

“There are many ways to play with you, such as…”

Mei Shu’s gaze lowered, and before Mei Mu could react, she forcefully punched her not-yet-healed wound.

Mei Mu immediately grunted, and blood soon oozed from the bandage around her waist.

“What are you doing!” She shivered in pain, her dry lips forcefully opening to scream.

Mei Shu smiled even sweeter, “Of course, I’m here to torment you, my dear sister. You should have expected that one day you’d fall into my hands.”

Terrified, Mei Mu stared at Mei Shu, who was getting closer. All of her composure from earlier vanished in an instant. “What are you doing? Don’t come over! 1’11 call for help if you come any closer!”

“Don’t be so nervous.” Mei Shu, in the face of her increasing panic, reached under her pillow and took out her pre-hidden cell phone.

“Give me back my phone!” Mei Mu immediately reached out to grab it.

Seizing the opportunity, Mei Shu stepped back. Mei Mu’s half-body immediately missed, and she fell directly from the bed. The wound on her body tore even more severely.

In pain, she curled up like a shrimp and crawled on the ground, “Give it back to me.”

Mei Shu chuckled and turned off the recording function Mei Mu had just opened on her phone. After deleting files, she shut down the phone, “My dear sister, you need to take good care of yourself. How can you play with your phone every day? It’s not good for your health.”

“Mei Shu, 1 won’t let you off even if I become a ghost!” Mei Mu stared at Mei Shu with fierce hatred. If her gaze could kill, Mei Shu would have been sliced to pieces.

Unfortunately, for Mei Shu, Mei Mu’s gaze had no threatening power. Instead, it gave her a sense of satisfaction in her retaliation.

She gently lifted Mei Mu’s chin and smiled, “Good sister, I’m considering your well-being. Come on, let your sister help you lie back on the bed.”

Although her words sounded gentle, her actions showed no tenderness.

She grabbed Mei Mu’s hair and lifted her directly from the ground.

Mei Mu, in pain, grimaced. She was about to unleash a torrent of curses, but Mei Shu suddenly disgustingly let go of her. Mei Mu fell back to the ground, her knees and wounds hurting so much that she gasped for breath.

This action seemed to please Mei Shu. She lightly lifted Mei Mu’s chin, smiled sweetly, “Oh, I’m sorry, Sister forgot that you haven’t washed your hair for several days.. Let me help you wash it first, okay?”
