I looked at Li Chun's delicate face, and alarm bells rang in my mind. This woman, who had ruthlessly abandoned me for a wealthy heir, now suddenly appeared at the hospital entrance. She definitely had ulterior motives.
"What are you doing here?" I instinctively took a step back, gripping the Power Bank tightly in my hand.
Li Chun flashed a smile that seemed ambiguous. "You were sick, and I was worried. I know a few doctors at this hospital; maybe I can help."
I let out a cold laugh. When I was at my lowest point, she didn't even bother to call. Now she pretended to care?
"No thanks, I'm fine." I turned to leave.
"Wait!" Li Chun hurried after me. "I know I wronged you in the past, but I truly regret it now. How about... I treat you to dinner as an apology?"
I paused and turned to look at her. In the sunlight, her eyes flickered, revealing a hint of unease. What was this woman really up to?
"Sure," I replied deliberately cheerfully. "I happen to be hungry too."
In the upscale restaurant, Li Chun kept serving me food and making small talk. But I noticed that her questions were always probing into my financial situation and personal details.
"I heard you're delivering takeout now? Make sure to take care of yourself."
"Must have cost quite a bit for your medical treatment, right? Did you get the receipts?"
Each question felt like a carefully crafted trap. As I navigated the conversation, a terrifying thought crossed my mind—could she be...
"By the way," I asked casually, "are you still working at Insurance Company?"
Li Chun's chopsticks paused slightly, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "I haven't worked there for a long time. I'm at a Securities Company now."
Just as I suspected! I couldn't help but smirk internally. This woman—I had almost forgotten that during our sweet moments together, she had bought me a critical illness insurance policy.
After dinner, Li Chun offered to take me home. On the way, she suddenly linked her arm with mine. "Xiao Dao, I've never really been able to let you go..."
I didn't pull away; instead, I took the opportunity to lead her into a high-end hotel. If she wanted to play, then I would play along to the end.
In the room, Li Chun eagerly threw herself at me. I had to admit, her slender waist was still as beautiful as ever. I asked her to turn away from me and discreetly pulled out my Power Bank. The blue light flashed, and her face instantly turned pale as she fainted.
Life Energy: 100%,
Life Time: 203 days.
I left the hotel, leaving Li Chun alone behind.
When she woke up, she probably wouldn't remember what had happened.
In fact, I wanted to tell her one last thing: "You can cancel that policy."
As I exited the hotel, I felt an overwhelming surge of power. But just around the corner, a shadow darted past. Alert, I turned back and saw a man in a white coat quickly retreating into the shadows.
I quickened my pace, twisting and turning to shake off my pursuer.
I knew, just like in all stories, that a villain was about to make an appearance.
Upon returning to my rented apartment, just as I was about to open the door, I suddenly noticed a note peeking through the crack: "We already know your secret."
I clenched the note tightly, my knuckles turning white.
Fear coiled around my heart like a cold snake.
Who could it be?
I whipped around suddenly; under the dim streetlight, there was no one in sight.
A chill wind swept past, causing me to shiver involuntarily.
It felt as though an invisible eye was watching me, sending shivers down my spine.
I quickly fished out my keys, opened the door, slipped inside, and locked it behind me.
My heartbeat echoed in my ears, deafening and relentless.
I leaned against the door, gasping for breath.
The words on the note were etched clearly in my mind.
"We already know your secret."
This was no joke.
The matter of the Life Power Bank was something only I should have known.
Could it be someone was tracking me?
