The onlooking crowd was shocked, "Assassin? Pretending it was a traffic accident to commit murder?"
"In broad daylight, how could such a thing happen?"
...
The pregnant woman, her hand covered in blood, pointed at Yu Longting and said, "This man's name is Yu Longting, he's my... my husband..."
The crowd's attention shifted from Heiche Rong to me and Yu Longting.
Apparently, they hadn't expected the "scumbag" to be such a handsome man, and a flurry of gasps filled the air.
"So handsome," "Are all scumbags this attractive?" "If he looks that good, I want to be played too." ...
Listening to these whispered comments, I couldn't help but give Yu Longting a helpless glance.
Is this what they call 'looks are justice'?
The pregnant woman hooked her lips coldly, her words dripping with blood as she accused,
"He cheated on me while I was pregnant, had a child with another woman, and wanted to get rid of us both. How can there be someone so heartless in this world?"
The plot was so chilling that it would be unbelievable in a TV drama.
If it wasn't happening in reality, nobody would dare to write such a script.
The bystanders became indignant, "Please, those obsessed with looks, wake up! If your values follow your aesthetics, you're in big trouble."
"Exactly, if the person beside you is such a devil, you wouldn't even know how you died."
"What's the use of being good-looking? Hell is empty, and devils walk the Earth."
...
Yu Longting lowered his head and asked me softly, "My dear wife, do you need me to explain anything?"
"I know you too well for that. Your explanation would only be, 'This woman is too ugly, I have better taste than that.'"
I had been with Yu Longting for a long time, I was perfectly clear on what kind of person he was.
Yu Longting chuckled, "Yes, my dear wife knows me best."
I rolled my eyes at Yu Longting, "Something's off with that woman, she has no soul."
Interest sparked in Yu Longting's eyes as he asked me, "So? What do you plan to do?"
"I believe that we shouldn't be afraid to speak the truth about such things."
I walked over to the pregnant woman and grabbed her wrist, demanding coldly, "Who are you? Why are you framing me and my boyfriend?"
"Framing? Do you think... someone would use their own and their child's life to frame others?" The pregnant woman struggled to break free from my grip.
Her strength was surprisingly great; I couldn't hold onto her with my own strength.
I simply pulled out a green strip of fabric and tied it around her wrist, "I don't think so, which is why you are just a Puppet."
Whoever created this fake pregnant woman must have thought that Yu Longting and I wouldn't dare let the world witness the Mysterious Art, and would suffer in silence.
I refused to take that lying down.
"What... what did you tie to me..." The woman's face instantly changed from human to one drawn on paper with ink. It was as white as ash, with ridiculously rosy cheeks.
Her eyes and mouth looked pasted on; the more you looked, the more unsettling it became.
I said dispassionately, "The Life and Death Embroidery strip that reveals your true form."
Before the Paper Man completely lost consciousness, its frightening red lips touched together, emitting a confused and sharp noise unlike any human's, "You're ruthless, Su Wan... I... was doing it for your own good... you'll regret this..."
"You wouldn't say why when I asked just now, and now you're saying I'll regret it. You've had all the say." I was so irritated, I poked my finger through the Paper Man's forehead and pulled out an Ancient Coin.
Since Yu Longting and I planned to come to City A, strange things kept happening.
First, I had bizarre nightmares, then Yu Longting predicted that this trip would be highly dangerous, and there were also Wu Zhenglin's odd divination results.
Then there was the fox demon in City A, casting a fog to seal off the city and hinder our journey…
The pregnant woman, soaked in blood from being hit by a car, suddenly turned into a talking Paper Man; even the blood on the ground had vanished.
It was as if we were witnessing ghosts in broad daylight.
The accusations and curses stopped abruptly as the startled onlookers backed away, a sea of pale faces staring at where the Paper Man had collapsed, "Could that woman have been a ghost?"
"Am I seeing things? She was clearly pregnant, how did she... turn into a Paper Man?!"
