The hospital past 2 a.m.

All was quiet.

Especially in the Intensive Care Unit area, not even a fly in sight.

Nie Wenzhi was all alone, she felt like she was the only person in the ICU.

As for the man, Song Shan, who was whispering shallowly to her. Anyway, he was no longer human, at least, not a breathing one.

She continued, “Husband, do you want to know why I did this? Why I got close to you, why I killed your ex-wife to reach you. If you don’t know, you’d probably die with your eyes open, unfortunately…”

Nie Wenzhi chuckled maliciously, but because she was so close to Song Shan, nobody could see her hideous face.

She spat out, sentence by sentence, “Unfortunately, I won’t tell you.”

Song Shan did not move, he remained still.

Nie Wenzhi sneered, “My training since childhood has taught me that even to the dead; especially the dead, I shouldn’t divulge secrets. From the moment I received the orders, I knew I had to bury everything deep down in the pit of my stomach!”

Nie Wenzhi seemed to pause for a moment, then slowly said, “Otherwise, otherwise, I would have definitely told you. No matter how long we spent together, watching you die in front of me, watching you die at my hands, I would have felt guilty.”

Guilt, she claimed.

Yet, not a shred of it could be detected in Nie Wenzhi’s voice.

Instead, she chuckled proudly, she chuckled maniacally.

“Do you know? From today onward, I will no longer, no longer have to bear your disgusting touch! ” Nie Wenzhi seemed to recall her intimacies with Song Shan and her entire face was filled with revulsion.

She said, “However, before you die, I will give you one last kiss…”

Nie Wenzhi watched him, seemingly taking in the sight of him a little longer.

Slowly

She lowered her head onto Song Shan’s shoulder.

The way she looked, it was as if she was dependent on him, like a loving husband and wife. An incredibly normal, incredibly sweet gesture.

Little did people know, Nie Wenzhi was simply using this method to slyly take out a tiny pill from her clothes and discreetly placed it in her mouth, where no one could see her. Even the surveillance camera behind her couldn’t capture it.

She held it in her mouth.

Lifted her head.

Her lips lightly brushed against Song Shan’s cheek.

It looked as if she was showing her reluctance, yet so full of deep affection.

She kissed Song Shan’s cheek bit by bit, then…she moved closer to his lips.

It was over.

Song Shan, from this moment on, our ties are severed.

She removed the ventilator from Song Shan’s mouth, opened her lips, placed the deadly pill from her mouth into his, and then placed the ventilator back on his lips.

It was so natural, one would think it was simply a gesture of affection.

Merely the depth of her affections, causing such an intense action.

No one would suspect!

The pill that had just been placed in Song Shan’s mouth did not need to be swallowed, it would soon dissolve.

Once it melted, it would flow down Song Shan’s throat, reaching his stomach, then it would cause a violent reaction, suppressing his blood circulation, leading to breathing blockage, and then, resulting in asphyxiation.

This kind of poison, only took ten minutes.

Normally, it would work within 5 minutes after a person swallowed it, but since Song Shan couldn’t swallow, it had to slowly seep in.

But she wasn’t in a rush.

Just five more minutes, only five more minutes.

She even regretted, why didn’t she use this pill to kill him directly back then.

In the end.

A cerebral hemorrhage caused by hypertension would not be suspicious, while sudden asphyxia might lead to the Song family possibly requesting an autopsy upon Song Shan’s death. If an autopsy was carried out, the truth would be revealed, and being the person closest to Song Shan, she would naturally be the prime suspect. It would be hard for her to clear her name, and even harder for her to inherit everything from the Song family.

To her, either method would have killed Song Shan, but why not choose the safer one.

Moreover, that pill wasn’t initially meant for Song Shan…

It was…given to her by the organization.

If things were exposed, if she could not protect herself, she could choose to end her life in advance.

Luckily.

She had this fierce pill that could naturally cause Song Shan’s death.

Either way, he was in the critical stage, his sudden death would be deemed natural by others.

All one could do was mourn his loss, no one would suspect anything.

Importantly, she had been demonstrating such profound affection these past few days that no one would suspect her.

She had thought of everything.

All her plans seemed incredibly perfect.

If it were not…for her being ambushed.

If she wasn’t being targeted, no one would be able to expose her devious plan.

Unfortunately…

Nie Wenzhi stared at the heart rate and blood pressure monitors beside her, waiting for the heart rate to drop, for the small beeps to slow, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock..

She stared intently, not blinking.

But.

The event she predicted did not occur.

There wasn’t a ‘beep’ on the heart rate monitor, followed by a straight line.

She panicked at that moment.

She looked at her phone.

Did she misremember the timing?

Perhaps because of Song Shan’s condition, she might have to wait a few more minutes.

She kept telling herself this so as not to panic.

But then, a few more minutes passed, and still nothing she expected happened.

How could this be?!

She stared incredulously at the monitor.

Did the poison fail?

No way.

It was something the organization had given her, she had only received it a month ago.

It was replaced every six months, it had only been a month, it couldn’t have expired.

Was there a mistake in the meantime?

She tried to remain calm.

Nie Wenzhi indeed didn’t show any panic. She Imew well that there was a surveillance camera overhead all along. It saw everything she was doing!

She couldn’t panic.

She reached out, her fingers trembling, but she managed to keep her composure.

She reached again to remove Song Shan’s respirator.

She wanted to check if the pill in his mouth had dissolved.

She leaned in closer…

The man in the bed, who seemed to have no chance of waking up, suddenly opened his eyes.

Nie Wenzhi was startled.

The next moment, Song Shan spit out the dissolved pill.

His gaze nevertheless remained sharp, piercing through her.

Piercing through Nie Wenzhi.

Even a calm person would be taken aback. Nie Wenzhi was no exception.

She locked eyes with Song Shan.

She thought: when did Song Shan wake up?

When did Song Shan wake up?

How could Song Shan just… wake up.

No, no.

She was at a loss.

In the next moment…

She couldn’t.

She couldn’t let Song Shan come back to life.

She could not let him interfere with her plans anymore.

So at that moment, without thinking and not caring about anything else, as if desperation led to reckless actions, she acted.

One hand covered Song Shan’s mouth and nose, the other tightened around his neck, paralyzing him.

Song Shan could never have expected Nie Wenzhi to react this way.

He had woken up earlier in the afternoon.

When Yan Jin and his assistant came to check his condition, Yan told him to stay unconscious, but awake, until 8 am the next day, when everything was supposed to happen.

He just lay in bed, perfectly still.

Just when he thought that all this was an overreaction from Song Zhizhi, he heard Nie Wenzhi’s voice.

When she called him ‘husband’ as usual, he actually wanted to open his eyes.

He did not want to suspect Nie Wenzhi, unwilling to doubt the woman who had been at his side for so many years…

That night, indeed as Song Zhizhi had speculated, Nie Wenzhi made milk for him, and he did not drink it. When Nie Wenzhi helped him change, he poured the milk out the window.

During the night, he faked an illness as Song Zhizhi had told him to.

Nie Wenzhi was slow to react, but her panic seemed genuine. It did not appear to be an act.

He persevered partly because he started to doubt Nie Wenzhi upon Song Zhizhi’s insistence, and partly because he wanted his daughter to put her prejudice against Nie Wenzhi aside after this incident. He yearned for a harmonious family and didn’t want internal conflicts.

So he kept pretending.

Until he was wheeled into the emergency room.

The doctor arranged by Song Zhizhi gave him a sedative, so he could sleep comfortably and avoid unexpectedly revealing his true state. Nedless to say, it worked. He didn’t wake up until the scheduled time in the afternoon, though he had no idea how long he had been asleep. He only knew his body was stiff and uncomfortable, but the worst was yet to come.

He thought at that moment, since it had already come to this, he might as well endure a few more hours.

However, it was difficult to maintain the same posture without moving. Yan Jin probably noticed his discomfort and told him that he has to stay awake because there might be dangers in his sleep.

Thus, he had to go along with his daughter’s plan.

Then, just now, he didn’t want to pretend anymore.

When he heard Nie Wenzhi call him as usual, his resolve wavered.

He didn’t expect that in the next moment…

Just that next moment…

In that blink of an eye…

Nie Wenzhi showed her true colors!

Her venomous words were echoing in his ears and swirling in his mind.

He was taken aback, starting to doubt whether he was hallucinating, and just kept listening to her.

Listening to words he never could have imagined.

He couldn’t believe that the woman who had been with him for over ten years, standing by his bedside, truly wanted him dead.

He endured.

He was fully awake then.

He continued to pretend to be asleep.

He wanted to know why Nie Wenzhi was doing this.

But she didn’t say anything…

He still didn’t move until… Nie Wenzhi put something unknown into his mouth.

He dared not swallow.

The pill quickly dissolved in his mouth. Despite the discomfort, he held it in.

Until…Nie Wenzhi made her move again.

Perhaps she didn’t get the result she wanted. She tried to force his mouth open.

He knew that Nie Wenzhi was trying to force him to swallow it.

He had no choice but to open his eyes, then spit out the melted pill fiercely.

And such behaviour naturally startled Nie Wenzhi.

Over these ten years, he had never seen Nie Wenzhi look like this. Her eyes were murderous and terrifying!

What was even more surprising was that Nie Wenzhi immediately attacked him when pressed.

After being bedridden for two days, he was weak and had not eaten anything. Even with IV nutrition, his body was exhausted.

He certainly didn’t expect Nie Wenzhi to have so much strength.

One hand around his neck was enough to incapacitate him. Despite rallying all his strength to push her away, she did not budge and even increased her grip, making it impossible for him to breathe, until…

His vision started to blur and his mind began to drift.

Perhaps in the next second, he would die.

Just at that moment…

Nie Wenzhi was suddenly pulled away from behind.

The force was so strong that Nie Wenzhi didn’t notice someone had appeared by her side. Blinded by her rage, her only goal was to kill Song Shan.

In this unexpected turn of events, she was dragged from the bedside and onto the floor..
