Chapter 705 - Take Action

“Deal!” Qian Fu immediately agreed to Chen Hongyu’s demand.

“Where are you going to get fifty thousand?” Li Huowang looked at him.

Qian Fu quickly leaned in and whispered, “Shhh, just pretend I have it! Right now, we just need to figure out how to get through this mess. We’ll worry about everything else later! Better to owe money than lose our lives!”

Li Huowang fell silent and watched Qian Fu hand the money to Chen Hongyu.

Yang Na looked conflicted, not by the money but by the weight of their recent conversation. She said, “Huowang, are you sure what this woman says is true? About supernatural abilities... is it really...?”

“I...” Li Huowang hesitated, glancing between Qian Fu and Chen Hongyu. “I don’t know... But since we’re here, let’s give it a try. Don’t just listen to what they say—watch what they do.”

Despite saying this, Li Huowang wouldn’t have chosen this option if he had another way. Yang Na still looked conflicted, but she finally nodded without saying anything.

“How do we get you out?” Li Huowang asked Chen Hongyu.

“No need! She doesn’t need us to rescue her. She’s very capable, and she can get out by herself,” Qian Fu said confidently.

“I’m different from Qian Fu. I wasn’t brought here against my will—I paid to get in. For me, leaving is as simple as saying a word. I have a lot of stuff, so come on and help me pack,” Chen Hongyu said and turned to leave the visitation room.

“Come on, Li Huowang, let’s help with the luggage! See, we already have a helper!” Qian Fu said as they headed toward the inpatient area.

Li Huowang thought for a moment and then said to Yang Na, “Let’s go. Let’s get her out first.”

Yang Na nodded and followed Li Huowang toward the inpatient area.

Since they were helping a voluntarily admitted patient pack her belongings, the three easily got inside the Sixth People’s Hospital. R/ê/Ad lateSt ch/a/pters at nô(v)e(l)bin/.c/o//m Only

This place was no different from the other psychiatric hospitals, with some people behaving oddly and speaking nonsense. Li Huowang was used to it.

Li Huowang replied, “Believe it or not, I just want to solve this problem. I want to live a normal life. I don’t care about anything else.”

“Don’t hope for that. You can’t avoid some things even if you don’t want to deal with them. If you want to solve this problem, you have to face it.”

With that, Chen Hongyu lifted her luggage and quickened her pace.

Suddenly, a figure dashed behind Li Huowang. He grabbed a clothes hanger and wrapped it tightly around his neck.

The plastic-covered wire squeezed his windpipe, which made it hard for Li Huowang to breathe. His head started to fill with blood uncontrollably. He grabbed the hanger and struggled to look behind.

He soon saw a familiar face inverted above him. It was Wang Wei, his former doctor!

Wang Wei’s foot stepped heavily onto Li Huowang’s back, preventing him from escaping. His expression was ferocious as he glared at Li Huowang.

“How long are you going to deceive yourself?! Remember! That world is not fake! Everything that happened there is real! Wake up!”

“Cough, cough...” The suffocation intensified. Li Huowang’s eyes rolled back, and he soon saw strange circles and various changing snowflake patterns.

Thump! Chen Hongyu punched Wang Wei on the head and knocked him out. He fell to the ground, motionless.

Li Huowang quickly removed the hanger, coughing violently while he clutched his neck.

“Are you okay?” Chen Hongyu patted Li Huowang’s back. She looked at the unconscious Wang Wei with a serious expression. “I never thought their people could infiltrate here. What did you do to make them watch you so closely?”

Once he could breathe again, Li Huowang felt lingering fear as he replayed what just happened in his mind. Wang Wei’s strength was astonishing. Without Chen Hongyu’s help, Wang Wei’s ambush might have succeeded.

He looked at Chen Hongyu gratefully. “Thank you.”

Regardless of whether she was mentally ill, she had proven her goodwill towards him. Even if she was indeed mentally ill, at least she was the good kind.
