Chapter 2731: Days Were Already Numbered

Cheng Fei had been examined and declared to be mentally ill. Now that he also had a fine needle in his brain, there was no more doubt that he was sick in the head.

He probably would never be released from the psychiatric hospital until the day he died.

Ning Shu was only afraid that Cheng Fei would run away. If he really did, the three members of the Ai family would always have to live in fear. Who knew what Cheng Fei would do to them?

Although policemen were guarding Cheng Fei’s door, Ning Shu was still worried and basically visited the hospital daily.

After Cheng Fei got a diagnosis in the hospital, he was sent back to the psychiatric hospital.

Since there was no way to treat his condition, Cheng Fei’s days were, more or less, already numbered.

Ning Shu stared at Cheng Fei, who was sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed into the car. Cheng Fei turned his head and smiled towards Ning Shu. His hair wasn’t styled with pomade, so some strands of hair softly fell over his forehead.

His radiant smile made him look youthful and bright.

Ning Shu seriously could not relax. She hailed a taxi and followed the car all the way to the entrance of the psychiatric hospital.

In fact, she trailed after Cheng Fei and watched him until he was pushed into his ward.

Only then did Ning Shu breathe a sigh of relief.

Ning Shu didn’t dare to be anything less than hyper-vigilant when dealing with Cheng Fei. Especially so when she’d just overheard a nurse talking about how Cheng Fei’s attending doctor had died.

Almost instantly and without even thinking about it, Ning Shu thought that Cheng Fei had been behind this incident.

“Don’t worry,” Cheng Fei said to her. “I won’t run away. Besides, where can I run to with these legs?

“I don’t have much time left anyway, so I’ll just live in peace,” Cheng Fei calmly said.

Ning Shu: …

Whether he had truly come to accept things or not, who knew?

Ning Shu didn’t care about what Cheng Fei thought though. In fact, as long as Cheng Fei was in the psychiatric hospital, she didn’t care much whether he was alive or dead.

“One day, you’ll understand my way of thinking,” Cheng Fei said. “When your hair is gray and your body begins to rot, you’ll regret this decision. You’ll ask yourself, why didn’t you preserve yourself during your best years, when you were at your most beautiful?”

“Even if I regret it, that’s my own business.”

Cheng Fei sighed. His eyebrows were tightly furrowed. There was cold sweat on his forehead. He shook his head and went to lie down.

He probably had a headache.

Cheng Fei’s face was a little pale, but Ning Shu was indifferent to Cheng Fei’s pain. Cheng Fei calmly said to her, “You should go. I don’t want you to see me like this.”

Ning Shu turned around and left without another word. She didn’t want to see him anyway.

The task in this world really exhausted Ning Shu, both physically and mentally.

Despite being in a society ruled by law, Cheng Fei still didn’t take human life seriously. However, Ning Shu herself couldn’t do the same. She couldn’t get herself imprisoned seeking revenge on someone like Cheng Fei.

She couldn’t be a murderer.

Ning Shu wondered if she would fail this task.

The silver needle in Cheng Fei’s brain would definitely give Cheng Fei excruciating pain.

It must hurt so much. Why was Cheng Fei still alive?

If she couldn’t complete this task, would she have to stay in this task world for the rest of her life?

Well, she probably wouldn’t have to stay here for an entire lifetime. The system would probably just determine that it was a failed task.

Cheng Fei was such an unkillable cockroach.

Ning Shu returned home and looked at Ai Yun’s parents. According to the storyline, they should’ve died by now. That they were at least still alive brought Ning Shu some comfort.

It’d really be a tragedy otherwise.

Ning Shu had learned a lesson from Cheng Fei, though. He’d taught her that regardless of what she did, she had to clean up all traces linking it to her.

That way, even if the truth came out, no one would be able to do anything about it.

For example, in this world, despite knowing that Cheng Fei did everything she accused him of, Ning Shu still couldn’t find any useful evidence that linked him to the crime.

There was no evidence, no confession, nothing!

What could she do?
