Chapter 602: A Great Reversal

When we arrived at the hospital, I was surprised 

to see

 Li Qiushu there. It turned out Feng Yuanzheng had called her and asked her to take care of Zhang Yan. Although I felt irritated 

that

 she had left Li Mazi alone, I didn’t say anything. 

Senior Shu

 woke up. He was sitting up on his bed and drinking some soup

; he still looked 

exhausted.

It was always like this in our business. 

Unless we

 were about to die, 

we

 wouldn’t be in a long coma. Most of the time, we would receive 

some

 internal wounds. 

Zhang Yan hadn’t woken up yet. But with Feng Yuanzheng and Li Qiushu here, my mind was eased. I stayed with 

Senior Shu

 for a while then returned to the hotel to check on Li Mazi. 

He was still sleeping. I saw 

that

 his window was unt

ouched

, so I returned to my room. 

Li Mazi 

woke

 up the next morning. When he saw me, he embarrassedly scratched his head

. 

“Little 

B

rother Zhang, I didn’t 

mean

 to stab you. I couldn’t control myself.” 

“It’s good that you

’ve

 

woken

 up.” I patted his shoulder. “What did you encounte

r

?” 

“After you took the cab and chased after her, I wanted to call you. But when I took out my phone, someone 

hit

 me from behind. I thought it was 

a

 cop. But when I turned around, I didn

’t see anyone

…” 

Li Mazi was still fearful. It turned out he 

was

 possessed as soon as he left the 

p

olice 

s

tation. He couldn’t control his body

 and walked 

to Zhang Yan’s house. When he 

got

 there, Zhang Yan was 

quarreling

 with Feng Yuanzheng. While Feng Yuanzheng was trying to explain the iron swallow to his wife, Li Mazi inadvertently busted him. 

Li Mazi got his sanity back right before Zhang Yan turned crazy and 

before she 

strangled Feng Yuanzheng

. 

It seemed Li Mazi also thought that Feng Yuanzheng was dead. I told him about the situation last night. At the same time, I had a few questions in my head. 

The first question was

:

 Li Mazi was possessed right in front of the police station

, so w

ho 

drove

 the car to lure us away? 

The second question was: 

W

hen Li Mazi came to the house, Zhang Yan 

was fighting 

with Feng Yuanzheng. But Li Mazi’s body was controlled by the 

spirit

 at that time. In other words, Zhang Yan was her true self! Why did she need to ask about the iron swallow? 

Li Mazi wore a puzzled face

 and asked

, “What’s wrong?”

I shook my head. “There’s something unclear here.” Then, we drove back to the hospital. 

Senior Shu

 was still drinking soup, but Zhang Yan wasn’t in 

her

 room. Feng Yuanzheng and Li Qiushu were gone, too. 

I put the lunchbox I had brought for him on the side table 

and

 asked, “Where are they?” 

Senior Shu

 mysteriously whispered something to me

, which

 

stunned me

. I only got a hold of myself after quite a long time. I couldn’t believe it

. I wanted to confirm

 one more time

.

 “Are you sure?” 

Senior Shu

 nodded, then picked the lunchbox and began to eat. I thought for a moment

 and

 gave the iron swallow to 

Senior Shu

. I then left with Li Mazi to the park in the suburbs. 

Since there weren’t many people 

in

 th

e 

park, the dead birds on the grounds 

hadn’t been

 cleared

; w

e could smell the stink. I pinched my nose

 and stayed 

quiet 

as I led

 the way.  Li Mazi seemed to have a new edition of the “

Ten Thousand Whys

” book. He kept asking me what I 

wanted

 to do. 

I couldn’t endure his pestering

 and let out a sigh

. “We’re going to save Zhang Yan. Feng Yuanzheng and Li Qiushu 

will

 likely murder her!” 

What 

Senior Shu

 whispered to me in the hospital was that he had figured out the strange relationship between Li Qiushu and Feng Yuanzheng. 

Before

 I arrived at the hospital, Li Qiushu had attempted to pinch the oxygen tube to suffocate Zhang Yan. However, she couldn’t do 

it

 because the doctor had come in to check on the patients. 

At first, Senior Shu

 thought that it was only Liu Qiushu. But then, he noticed that Feng Yuanzheng had

 also

 looked at Zhang Yan with deep hatred in his eyes. 

He

 had murderous intentions! 

Early this morning, Zhang Yan woke up and didn’t

 thank

 Li Qiushu. The three of them watched each other with hostility. Then, Zhang Yan 

was

 discharged from the hospital. 

Feng Yuanzheng and Li Qiushu walked together

. They left 

the room first. On the way to the door, Zhang Yan suddenly turned and talked to 

Senior Shu, 

who was pretending to be asleep at that time. “I know you

’ve

 discovered everything. If you want to know the cause, come to the zoo tonight to watch the fun!” 

“Holy 

moly

, is 

this

 a love triangle?” Li Mazi blinked his small eyes. He spat, “I thought Li Qiushu was a good sister. I never thought that she was a 

nasty

 slut!” 

I didn’t talk much

 and pulled 

him into the park to find a good place to watch. I saw Zhang Yan sitting on a rock

. It looked 

as though she was waiting for someone. 

She soon saw Li Mazi and 

me

. 

She smiled, 

but her eyes didn’t. Then, she turned around

 and watched 

the entrance of the park as if nothing had happened. 

“What does she want to do?” Li Mazi didn’t get it. 

I thought and concluded that she wouldn’t deal with us. Firstly, she had invited us here to watch the fun. Secondly, even if she wanted to harm us, she didn’t have the power since the iron swallow was with 

Senior Shu

. 

Around half an hour later, Zhang Yan’s face darkened. I followed her line of sight and saw Feng Yuanzheng coming hand-in-hand with Li Qiushu. 

Li Mazi got it now. 

Those

 two were having an affair. Li Mazi fumed, “Zhang Yan 

is

 attractive. 

W

hy 

does

 her husband want to go with someone else?” 

I 

grabbed him and hid behind

 the rock in front of us

 as

 Zhang Yan wasn’t hostile toward us at this moment

.

However, i

t didn’t mean that Feng Yuanzheng wanted us to know about his affair. 

Zhang Yan

 was his wife,

 but

 he had still schemed to kill her

. Who knew what he would do to

 the two of us! 

As they were approaching, Zhang Yan’s eyes reddened with tears. She spoke up with sobs. “You finally admit it. 

Did you get

 tired of concealing your affair?” 

“Haha.” Li Qiusheng smiled disdainfully. Her face turned cold. “Don’t pretend to be a s

ca

red maiden! Don’t think that I didn’t know you wanted to use the iron swallow to harm me.” 

Although I had thought about this possibility, I was still shocked. 

A

 

real-life

 drama of marriage and affair was playing out right in front of me. 

“Harm you?” Zhang Yan said through her gritted teeth. “What did I do to harm you? I just hated myself for being weak. I knew my husband 

had

 an affair with my bestie, and I always pretended 

that

 I 

didn’t know anything. 

I pretended because I didn’t have enough courage to expose you. I wanted to use the iron swallow because it made me strong!” 

“If Yuanzheng 

wasn’t

 lucky, you would have killed him already!” Li Qiushu took a step forward

 and hissed at her

.

B

efore Zhang Yan could react, she slapped and kicked her twice. 

Feng Yuanzheng saw everything but didn’t stop his girlfriend. Li Mazi couldn’t stand it. He wanted to go there, but I

 

hurriedly pulled him back. “Don’t rush in! 

This is

 evidence!”

Then, I took out my phone and adjusted the angle to record a video. 

A moment later, Li Qiushu had stopped hitting the other woman. She gasped for her breath and rolled her eyes at Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan adjusted her clothes and rubbed her swelling face. 

She looked at Feng Yuanzheng with tears in her eyes. “Zhao Feiyan wanted to kill you. I couldn’t stop her, so I 

decided

 to take action first. It would give you a chance to survive. It

 was

 me who saved you!” Then, she didn’t even 

glance at

 Li Qiushu 

and

 slowly 

left

. 

Feng Yuanzheng was bewildered. He looked hesitant.

Liu Qiushu burst out like a madwoman

. She pulled 

him and 

shouted

 at him. “Yuanzheng, we have to kill her! Otherwise, she will return with that thing. She will torture us to death!” 

When Li Qiushu talked, her face 

looked

 malicious. I disdained 

her

. When we first met her, she pretended to

 be pitiful and 

told us about her aggrievance. 

N

ow, I 

wished I could 

slap that 

shrew

 to death!

Feng Yuanzheng looked at Zhang Yan then at Li Qiushu. Eventually, he clenched his jaw and took out a rope. He ran to Zhang Yan and started 

to strangle

 her from behind!
