Great, It's the Pervy Neighbor. We're Doomed

Chapter 395: Jiang Ran Awakens — The Aftermath

Wang Qingzhao said sadly, "Yes.""I mentioned earlier, Fatty and the others are dead... killed by that man..."

"Is that man a serial killer? We had no grudge against him, why did he kill us?"

Jiang Ran asked Wang Qingzhao to help him sit up.

Jiang Ran, wrapped entirely in bandages, was a complete mummy.

After sitting up and leaning against the headboard, he asked again, "Hey, I remember, Wang Haoran called the police when Jiang Weixin died."

"The police should have arrived at the mountain by now, right?"

Wang Qingzhao said, "I'm not sure, but there's news about it."

She brought her Fruit 17pro to Jiang Ran's eyes.

Jiang Ran saw a news article on Wang Qingzhao's phone screen.

It was broadcast by Beicheng City Television.

It reported that a group of people went to Qingfeng Mountain to hike and watch the sunrise and sunset, but ended up being attacked by wild beasts, resulting in multiple deaths and injuries.

"Damn, that's not right! What wild beast attack?!"

Jiang Ran was very agitated, "They should be hunting down that murderer immediately!"

At that moment, Wang Qingzhao suddenly leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Jiang Ran, let's just forget about this matter!"

"Don't forget, our hands are also stained with Wang Haoran's blood."

Reminded like this, Jiang Ran immediately deflated.

After a few minutes, he said with a bitter smile:

"This hiking trip was originally meant to watch the sunrise and sunset."

"In the end, we saw the sunset, but not a single person saw the sunrise the next day."

"Jiang Weixin and Wang Haoran got what they deserved."

"But, Fatty and the others... sigh!"

"They were about to get married, hold weddings! They even invited us, but then..."

"Such a sudden, unexpected disaster!"

Wang Qingzhao nodded faintly, "So, the two of us should cherish life even more and live well."

Jiang Ran sighed, "Yeah, live well. But now that Fatty and the others are dead, their families will surely be devastated when they find out. And Fatty's fiancée, about to get married, now her future husband is gone."

Wang Qingzhao gave a faint smile, "That is indeed very sad, but it's also nothing."

"Fatty's fiancée will quickly move on and find a new man."

"Not everyone's love is as sworn by mountains and seas, unwavering until death."

Jiang Ran looked up and noticed Wang Qingzhao's gaze fixed on him. He avoided it by looking down, then suddenly looked up again:

"Hey, I think I noticed something strange!"

Wang Qingzhao: "What is it?"

Jiang Ran: "Didn't Fatty say that thing of his hasn't worked since he got injured in freshman year?"

"Then how could he still get married? The woman didn't mind?"

Wang Qingzhao was a bit thirsty and took a sip of water from the cup on the bedside table.

After drinking, she said, "Is there a possibility that, in fact, Fatty never had a fiancée at all, and he's been lying to us since that class reunion where a few of us gathered?"

Jiang Ran: "Why? There's no reason!"

Wang Qingzhao lowered her head to glance at an expensive watch on her wrist.

She said, "They're here, you can ask them yourself."

Jiang Ran: "Who?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Wang Qingzhao called out that the door wasn't locked.

Two people pushed the door open and entered.

It was Zhong Hui and Wang Qin.

Holding hands, the two looked exactly like a couple.

As soon as they appeared, Zhong Hui, looking at the mummy-like Jiang Ran on the hospital bed, apologized, "I'm sorry, Jiang Ran. I apologize for the two of us running away first."

Jiang Ran said, "Forget it, it's all in the past. You probably already know about Fatty and the others?"

Zhong Hui nodded, "Wang Qingzhao already told me."

Jiang Ran asked, "Then I have a question. Was Fatty's fiancée real? And why did you include me and Qingzhao in your own setup? Wouldn't it have been better without us two?"

Zhong Hui answered, "Fatty's fiancée was fake."

"I know you want to ask if this was a setup by Fatty from long ago."

"It wasn't."

"Didn't Fatty say at the campsite that he had severe depression? Actually, it wasn't just that. It started with depression, and later, he developed schizophrenia too."

"That fiancée of his was actually a figment of his imagination, but he definitely didn't know that, thinking it was real. We thought he was already miserable enough, so we might as well let him live in his fantasy to feel better. That's why we didn't expose it."

Jiang Ran suddenly understood.

If this had been a setup by Fatty from long ago, that would have been truly terrifying.

Of course, such a setup wasn't necessary either. It seemed whether there was a fiancée or not didn't really matter.

Zhong Hui continued answering Jiang Ran's next question.

"As for why we brought you and Wang Qingzhao in."

"Initially, our hiking plan didn't include either of you."

"After all, this is about killing people, so the fewer outsiders, the better."

"But the problem was, we invited Jiang Weixin to hike together, and he agreed, but Wang Haoran didn't."

"We knew Wang Haoran had always been interested in Wang Qingzhao, so we used Wang Qingzhao as bait to hook him."

"Sure enough, that lust-blinded guy took the bait."

"Since we invited Wang Qingzhao, and we knew she was close to you, if we invited her hiking, she would definitely tell you. So we just invited you together."

"That's the reason you two came up the mountain. Understand?"

Jiang Ran wanted to nod, but his neck hurt terribly.

He said, "I understand."

"But the price you paid to kill those two was too high."

Zhong Hui sighed, "Who knew that guy would suddenly show up and mess things up."

"But it's strange. Even though the news reports say Fatty and the others were killed by wild beasts, the truth obviously isn't like that. Anyone can see that. Yet, why hasn't anyone come to investigate or question us?"

Wang Qin interrupted him, then smiled at Jiang Ran and Wang Qingzhao, "By the way, let me tell you some good news. Zhong Hui and I are planning to get our marriage certificate soon."

She tightly hugged Zhong Hui's arm, appearing very loving and sweet.

Wang Qingzhao raised an eyebrow, "So we have to give cash gifts?"

Zhong Hui waved his hand, "No need. We don't plan to hold a wedding, just get the certificate and take some wedding photos."

These days, not holding a wedding is really rare.

After announcing this news, Zhong Hui and Wang Qin left the room.

Jiang Ran watched their backs disappear.

He pursed his lips, "I suddenly thought of another possibility."

Wang Qingzhao: "What possibility?"

Jiang Ran: "Is it possible that Zhong Hui's eyes weren't actually ruined by the surgery, but were instead very successful?"

"The failed laser eye surgery was just an excuse, a reason. A joint excuse and reason with others who had grudges against those two."

"His real goal was actually to take Wang Qin away from Jiang Weixin and marry her?"

Wang Qingzhao's eye twitched noticeably.

Clearly, she hadn't considered this point.

She said, "That's possible. If Jiang Weixin hadn't died, no matter how much these two loved each other, Jiang Weixin would never have let Wang Qin go. Even if he got tired of her, he would have used her to entertain clients."

Jiang Ran said, "But even if he let Wang Qin go, as fellow men, if I were Zhong Hui, I'd definitely want to kill Jiang Weixin too. After all, Wang Qin had been with him for so long. Probably every time he saw Jiang Weixin, he couldn't help but imagine the two of them together in his mind."

"Only by killing Jiang Weixin could he cut off that fantasy."
