Chapter 139 - 120: Rare! The Breakdown of 15 People...

It was the same in his past life.

"Did you tell that old woman about this?"

As Xu Huo finished speaking, Qian Hua shook his head.

"It’s not easy to tell her."

"I was thinking about finding the right time to tell her, but who would’ve thought she’d show up on her own before I got the chance..."

"So you haven’t told her... That makes sense."

Xu Huo nodded. "She’s most likely trying to take the blame to clear Sun Yang of any suspicion."

"Sun Yang’s identity has been perfectly fabricated. The police can’t find any useful information to prove she isn’t Sun Yang."

"As long as Sun Yang denies everything and Song Min keeps taking responsibility, Sun Yang can probably survive."

"However..."

Qian Hua sighed helplessly and continued, "Sun Yang isn’t going to live."

"Fourteen... no, that’s not right. According to the doctor’s timeline."

"Ten days. At most, ten days. The fibrosis in her lungs will be severe enough to cause fatal respiratory failure."

Xu Huo fell silent.

The damage was irreversible. The moment she drank it, her fate was sealed.

That was probably why Liu Bo didn’t deal a fatal blow when he attacked Sun Yang.

Otherwise, with his skills, anything less than slitting her throat on sight would have been him holding back!

Neither of them spoke, and a heavy silence fell.

Until...

"Chief, she’s awake!"

"She’s awake!"

As they were lost in thought, a frantic voice erupted from the phone Qian Hua had just answered.

Xu Huo froze, looking up at him.

’She’s... awake?’

"Sun Yang is awake!"

"She’s at the hospital now. Aside from the failure of her lungs and other organs, she’s just like a normal person!"

The voice on the phone was ecstatic.

Sun Yang was awake!

She had been unconscious for two days. The anesthesiologist had started lighting incense and praying, and was on the verge of turning himself in, unable to take the pressure.

But now, she was finally awake.

"To the hospital!"

Without a moment’s hesitation, Xu Huo barked out three words and headed for the door.

The two got into the car, and the wheels screeched into motion.

With a VROOM, the old police cruiser roared to life, transforming into a beast as it sped toward the hospital!

They needed Sun Yang right now.

Not to sentence anyone based on her words, but because they needed her to provide the real, unadulterated truth of the case!

At the same time... she also had to provide other information.

For instance, Cheng Yu’s crimes. This would allow the police to swiftly and effectively launch a massive investigation into the others involved!

Liu Bo could have done it too, but Liu Bo was dead. Making him talk was obviously impossible...

No, wait. It was possible to make him talk.

In his dreams, it was possible, but the prerequisite was difficult to meet—the truth of the case had to be made public.

Therefore, Sun Yang had to at least speak the truth, or it would be very difficult.

The two of them quickly arrived at the hospital.

This was Zhaozhou City’s best hospital for internal medicine, but since no one in the world had a cure for fibrosis, this hospital was pretty useless too.

Both of them knew where Sun Yang’s room was. Without calling for an escort, they followed their memory and arrived at the door.

CREAK~

Xu Huo placed his hand on the doorknob and pushed the door open...

A girl with delicate features and pale skin appeared before them.

It was Sun Yang. She was sitting up in bed, leaning against the headboard, holding a bowl and eating porridge one spoonful at a time.

Hearing the noise, she instinctively turned her head. When she saw Xu Huo and the others, she seemed a little happy.

"You’re here?"

"Hee hee, I guessed you would come."

She placed the porridge on the bedside table, a proud smile on her face.

Xu Huo sat down in front of her, glanced around the room, and then fixed his gaze on Sun Yang.

He looked like he wanted to say something, but hesitated.

After a long silence, an even deeper silence followed.

Sun Yang didn’t speak either.

Finally, after a long moment...

"Should I call you Sun Yang, or... Shen Miao?"

Xu Huo asked abruptly after a moment of thought.

This was a question the police had been suspicious about for a long time.

From the moment they’d found out about Shen Miao a few days ago and first laid eyes on Sun Yang, the question had been on every officer’s mind.

But they couldn’t find any logical proof, and since it didn’t change the fact that Liu Bo was a killer, the matter was temporarily shelved.

Now was the right time to bring it up.

"Shen Miao?"

Sun Yang thought for a long time, then shook her head. "I’m not her. I’m Sun Yang."

"But she is also me."

"Mhm, I didn’t know before, but I know now... But I’m not telling anyone else!"

She was, but she wasn’t...

’Not telling anyone else?’

In a daze, Xu Huo paused.

He looked at Qian Hua and the other officers beside him.

"Do you mind if they stay?"

"I do!"

Sun Yang nodded, a sly glint in her eyes.

Qian Hua and the others were a bit speechless.

’Since when does an interrogation... depend on how handsome you are!?’

Resigned, the officers had no choice but to leave a body camera behind and file out as if they’d lost a battle.

The moment they left,

Xu Huo turned back to look at Sun Yang.

"Sun Yang is..."

"Which personality?"

’Which personality?’

It wasn’t a common question.

"I don’t know. I’ve lost count."

Sun Yang shook her head, thought for a moment, and added, "Ten? Fifteen?"

Her answer was just as unusual.

"How many are left now?"

This didn’t surprise Xu Huo. He continued his questioning.

"There were four, but now there are only three," Sun Yang answered honestly.

After saying that, she paused and lifted her chin slightly.

"I absorbed the fourth one!"

"She was too weak. Before, I thought I was the only one in this body. Then one time I woke up and found myself on the floor. The point of view was weird, and there was a woman in front of me. Then she just disappeared for no reason, and I just somehow knew that I had absorbed her."

She sounded like a victorious general, and her spoils of war were indeed plentiful.
