"Is there a problem?" Bo Siming asked discontentedly.
Shen Shiyu also found it increasingly strange. Could it be that Bo Jingyu had really swapped the person? There must be something fishy going on!
"Could it be that she's not Shen Ximan?"
The jailer looked at her in confusion. "Miss Shen, I don't understand what you're saying. The person inside is indeed her. There's no way there could be a mistake."
"Then why are you hesitating? Afraid of us seeing something?"
"Yes! I'm afraid you'll see something!"
After saying that, seeing their misinterpreting expressions, he quickly tried to fix it. "I mean, that woman somehow got a skin disease. Her whole body is ulcerated and oozing pus. The smell is really..."
Bo Siming twitched the corner of his eye but still wanted to find out.
"It's okay. We'll just have a few words with her and then leave."
The jailer sighed. "Alright then. You two follow me in first. Put on your masks before going in."
A few rays of light from outside the glass shone on the corridor. The air was filled with an indescribable stench, and it was even a bit creepy.
Shen Shiyu could faintly smell it even with the mask on.
Bo Siming was even worse. His face was ashen, and his stomach was churning.
"Because of the skin disease, Shen Ximan can't come out to talk. I'll take you to the detention room where she's staying. Please understand that the time I can give you two is limited." The jailer explained as he walked.
4221. This was the detention room where "Shen Ximan" was being held.
Although the door looked tightly closed, the stench still seeped out.
"Ugh... Excuse me!"
The jailer covered his mouth and nose with the mask. After unlocking the chain on the door with the key, he left the scene in a hurry.
A sour, stinky smell mixed with sticky sweat filled the air. If Shen Shiyu hadn't forced herself to hold back, she would definitely have vomited.
"...Open the door." Bo Siming endured so hard that the veins on his forehead bulged.
"Me? I'll open it?"
"Wasn't it you who kept insisting on coming?"
She was speechless and had no choice but to brace herself.
After the door was opened, they could see a long - haired woman lying on the bed. The white bedsheet under her had long been stained yellow by the pustules.
On the exposed palm - sized face, the scar was very eye - catching.
"...Who?"
"Shen Ximan" sounded as if her throat had been torn. Her voice was as hoarse as that of a middle - aged woman in her forties or fifties.
The two people outside the door stared blankly as she slowly sat up.
"Si, Siming! She's Shen Ximan!"
Shen Shiyu saw clearly. The scar on her face, the desperate look in her eyes like a dead person, and her emaciated figure.
It was enough to prove that this monster inside was Shen Ximan!
"She's so disgusting."
Bo Siming blurted out this sentence without thinking.
He now deeply regretted that he was really blind before to fall for such an eyesore of a woman. He must have had bad luck for eight generations!
"Let's go. Hurry up!"
He slammed the door shut, grabbed Shen Shiyu's wrist, and rushed out, wishing he could get out quickly to breathe some fresh air.
"Are you two done talking?"
The jailer came out of the office. There were still traces of vomit around his mouth.
Bo Siming disgustedly took off his mask and threw it at the jailer's face. "I'll never come to this kind of place again. It's really bad luck!"
"Yes, bad luck!" Shen Shiyu also took off her mask and threw it at his face.
Watching the two of them leave angrily, the jailer was puzzled.
"Wasn't it you two who kept insisting on going in? What does it have to do with me?"
On the way back, Shen Shiyu kept smelling her hair. Whether it was a psychological effect or not, she always felt there was still a smell.
"Siming, shall we go take a bath?"
"I was just thinking the same thing. Don't come up with such stupid ideas in the future. It's really ruining my whole day!" Bo Siming said with a scowl.
"I didn't know she'd become like this. It's really pitiful."
Although Shen Shiyu said so, she was actually extremely excited inside.
If it weren't for maintaining her image in front of him, she would have sung a song, danced all night, and drunk the most expensive liquor!
In this world, no one could stop her anymore.
At the same time in the detention center, the jailer reported the news to the second young master.
"Got it. Go claim your reward."
After hanging up the phone, Bo Jingyu got up and stood in front of the window.
Beep, beep, beep.
The sound of the medical instruments attached to Bo Yanhai echoed in his ears.
He was really afraid that one day, the sound of the instruments would turn into a long, continuous beep.
The day his mother left had already brought him quite a bit of trauma. If his grandfather also left because of him, he was afraid he would never be able to pick himself up again.
"Grandpa, if you knew the truth, would you blame me?"
He murmured to himself in a low voice.
He still remembered that after coming out of the hotel that day, Bo Jingyu immediately contacted the detention center and found a woman who looked very similar to Shen Ximan.
She had suffered from a skin disease since childhood, and her face was disfigured by a homeless man, with a deep scar on it.
The doctor had clearly issued a final notice that she wouldn't live for more than two months.
In order to ensure that she wouldn't suffer from the cold and hunger, Bo Jingyu gave her a crime of being detained in the detention center on someone else's behalf.
But before that, he had asked for her consent.
It was a mutual - benefit situation.
He needed a substitute, and she needed to leave this world decently before she died.
Thinking of this, he even felt that what he had done was too cruel.
For the woman he had been yearning for day and night, Bo Jingyu had done everything.
All just to keep her safe and free from the entanglement of Bo Siming and those with ulterior motives.
Knock, knock. The door of the ward was knocked.
At this moment, Bo Jingyu pulled his thoughts back.
"Come in."
Li Xiaoru walked in with a bouquet of sunflowers. She pursed her lips and walked forward with a smile. "How's Grandpa's condition? Is there any improvement?"
He watched as she placed the bouquet on the table, his face cold.
"What are you saying here? Are you being sarcastic?"
"Me? I'm not..."
Seeing Bo Jingyu's suddenly changed expression, she shivered with fear.
"Is this an ordinary illness?"
Li Xiaoru looked confused. "I'm not the one who caused Grandpa's current condition. Why are you getting angry at me?"
"You're just the same as that woman in essence."
Bo Jingyu really hated his life being controlled.
Especially in terms of his feelings.
"You're really being unreasonable. Do you think I'm willing to marry you?"
Li Xiaoru was so angry that her face turned pale.
"Come out with me. Don't disturb Grandpa's rest."
With that, Bo Jingyu opened the door of the ward and waited for her.
She walked out with a scowl, full of anger.
"This way."
Before Li Xiaoru could react, she was pulled into the examination room two wards away by him. He gently closed the door.
"What are you doing?"
"There are surveillance cameras." Bo Jingyu said calmly.
"Surveillance cameras?"
"You don't need to know too much about the Bo family's affairs. I apologize for my attitude just now." Bo Jingyu bowed his head.
Li Xiaoru's mood was like a roller - coaster. She hadn't recovered from the shock for a while. "No, no, no. You don't need to apologize to me. I was just too excited just now."
