Chapter 228

Upon hearing such a heaven-shattering reversal, everyone instantly turned pale with shock.

Looking again at the man, his face was completely snow-white.

"Xiao Mei, what are you saying? Are you muddle-headed?" Anyone could see his forced smile.

The brother-in-law beside him also couldn't accept this reversal for a moment—that's over ten years! Who could serve someone day after day for over ten years?

It's said that before a sickbed there are no filial sons; even between father and son it's like this, let alone between husband and wife.

His voice trembled as he couldn't help saying, "Sister, are you confused? Xiao Ma truly loves you wholeheartedly!"

The woman on the bed, struggling to breathe, suddenly heard this and burst out laughing.

"Whole... heartedly?"

Her hands hanging at her sides gripped the sheets tightly, pinching a fold; the pallid backs of her hands, long unseen by sun, bulged with veins.

"He! Cheated! Killed! Me!"

After saying that, the woman's head lolled, and the air in her lungs seemed to be squeezed out completely.

The scene from years ago flashed in her mind, her eyes red and sore; she had personally seen it, and the investigation showed they had been married less than a year when he encountered his former first love, without hesitation dragging her to bed and enjoying himself at a hotel—how could he not think of her, his original spouse?

How could that possibly be false!

As for his care, the woman would never believe it.

Besides, the elder brother hearing this was even more shocked.

Having come to this point, how could he still not believe? He clenched his fists, making a cracking sound; with his over 1.8-meter tall frame, just listening made one's blood run cold.

Barely begun, the live chat users' brains were already overwhelmed.

【What does this mean? The good man who once appeared in the newspaper is fake? The vegetative wife was smashed into that state by his own hands!】

【Daily marriage fear/1】

【Holy cow, this gossip is huge—I've seen what a snake-scorpion heart is, it's terrifying! Simply beastly!】

【I've also read that newspaper—it said one day he came home to find his wife fainted on the ground, the doctor diagnosed a fall and head injury, turning her into a vegetative state; back then I was moved, but now the truth is—he was discovered cheating, flew into a rage and smashed the victim like this, then deliberately staged it as an accident; if the victim never woke up, wouldn't he have just gotten away scot-free?!】

Ling Yue pressed her lips; the truth of the matter almost exactly matched what a certain chat user guessed. As for why most people wondered about caring for the victim day after day for over ten years,

She coldly smirked, staring at the man, who was utterly despairing, resentfully gazing at his wife, completely forgetting this was a livestream, murmuring lowly: "Why did you wake up! Why did you wake up!"

His frenzied state made the brother-in-law immediately hit the alarm, shouting warning: "What are you saying? The doctor said my sister might wake up—what are you? If she wakes up, you deserve to be caught!"

"Heaven has eyes! Bless my sister!"

"What does what I've done before count for?" He, excited, actually began ranting like a self-destruct truck: "If it weren't for the doctor's words, I'd have divorced long ago!"

Heaven knows how happy he was when he heard the doctor say she'd become a vegetative, and later hearing she might wake up, how panicked he felt—his emotions were like riding a roller coaster.

He continued: "I voluntarily asked to care for her, just to kill her—who knew you guys! You guarded her without leaving her side for over ten years!"

The man jerked his head up, revealing a pair of crimson, hate-filled eyes: "I've attended to her for over ten years, yet I never found a chance! I close my eyes, even in dreams I think of how to kill her completely!"

Hearing this, the livestream chat users couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

【Holy shit, Mom save me, I want to go home! This guy is terrifying!】

【Save me, he's cared for his wife day after day for over ten years just to find a chance to kill her completely! Luckily heaven has eyes, giving him no opportunity even after over ten years!】

The brother-in-law was even more relieved—his younger sister is the family's sole lineage across three generations; this generation has over ten males but only this precious daughter, relatives took turns caring for her, hardly ever leaving her side, otherwise…

He simply dared not think about it!

The man finished speaking, just then seeing the hospital doctor standing at the doorway; his excited, near-fainting mind instantly cleared—what had he just said?!

At that moment, a cold voice pierced his ears.

Ling Yue's expression was calm, unhurriedly saying: "You've fled and enjoyed impunity for over ten years—it's time to repay karma."

The man shuddered in shock—someone like him, who never cries until seeing the coffin, how could he possibly blurt out his true thoughts in a self-destructive rant!

The livestream chat users also agreed, but they wouldn't say it out loud, laughing it off—

【He must have been furious to the point of confusion, self-destructing—what's it got to do with us streamers!】

【Yeah, yeah, having fallen to this point, he totally deserves it!】

Until the livestream ended, they happened to see the police who had rushed over after receiving the alarm call: "May I ask who is Mr. Liu?"

The brother-in-law hurriedly spoke: "It's me, it's me. I want to file a report—he murdered my sister!"

As he spoke, he strode straight toward the man, face full of hatred—this beast!

At that moment, the livestream screen was full of the chat users' sighs.

【Truly most satisfying!】

【He's getting what he deserves! It shouldn't be long before the outcome comes out—then we'll definitely be able to see it online!】

【I racked my brains and never expected this turn of events—this guy isn't worth anything, not even as good as my cat Mao Mao, who even warms my forehead when I have a cold and fever!】

【……Is it possible that it's because your body temperature is high, making it feel comfortable?】

【……】

After this online livestream ended, the people in the chat were still discussing heatedly; Ling Yue stared fixedly at the discussion on the screen for a while before softly coughing.

Ling Yue: "Everyone, stop discussing—the police will give the result. Let's start the lottery."

The chat users responded cheerfully.

【Great, let's see who's the lucky one this time!】

【Now we can gossip and watch the show again—my melon‑seed snacks are ready!】

As always, the result came quickly; Ling Yue saw the name and said, "Congratulations, You Su Huo Shao—what would you like to consult?"

While speaking, the connection was already made; the pitch‑black screen hadn't lit up yet, and the noisy wind and rolling surf sounds instantly rushed into the chat users' ears.

The screen lit up.

Against the azure sky, gull after gull wheeled and flew over, gathering by the shore; with their gray wings spread, each span exceeded a meter, their beautiful white tail feathers resembling a blooming snow lotus, freely soaring along the coast—they've become a local sight.

Everyone in the livestream could see that the consulter appeared to be on a shore, dark‑blue waves churning and crashing.

Her surroundings were full of scattered blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners.

Unlike her simple nickname You Su Huo Shao, the consultant was a sweet-looking girl with typical Chinese features—cherry lips, big eyes, and sweet dimples; upon seeing Ling Yue, she happily covered her mouth and smiled with eyes crescent: 'Host sister, hello!'

The girl beside her was blond-haired and blue-eyed, typical foreign appearance; upon seeing Ling Yue, a flash of amazement crossed her eyes, and she exclaimed in a strange tone: 'Wow~ gorgeous Chinese beauty!'

Ling Yue moistened her lips and smiled: 'You're also very pretty.'

Before she could say anything, the opening screen was a critical hit; as the livestream viewers noticed, a huge seagull let out a sharp cry and swooped down swiftly toward the two.

【Oh no, it seems we've run into a robber!】

In the frame, You Su Huo Shao was the first to spot the swooping seagull; to be precise, she had been watching her surroundings since just now.

Her companion Dailinna held a soft, fragrant big bun.

The consultant shrank her hand, and from the unnoticed sleeve peeked out a small, round, golden glittering fire bun.

The incident came suddenly.

Many people only had time to shout a warning before You Su Huo Shao raised her head; a large-bodied seagull flew straight at them, its sharp claws lunging toward the two girls, who instantly turned pale with fright.

Not to mention them, even the livestream viewers' faces turned ashen with fright.

【It's surely after their food—quickly hand it over; I studied in the US before, and the seagulls here on the coast leave a deep impression!】

Dailinna, catching this in her peripheral vision, hurriedly raised the bun, speaking extremely fast: 'It might be hungry, wanting something to eat!'

Beside her, You Su Huo Shao also hesitantly raised the fire bun in her hand; upon seeing the fire bun, many people burst out laughing.

【My goodness, do foreign seagulls even eat this stuff?】

【Seagulls are terrible—they'll eat anything; I once bought a pack of fries, didn't even take a bite, and as soon as I opened it, the seagulls swooped it all away!】

After saying that, the seagull made a grab; Dailinna cried out, opened her eyes to find her bun unharmed, then looked at her companion—she was already dumbfounded!

The consultant stared at her empty palm—her fire bun had flown away!

【……Ow ow ow ow, my face hurts!】

She widened her eyes; this was the first time she'd brought food, originally intending to appease it, hoping the seagull elder would let her off, but the soft bun in her bag hadn't been taken out yet, and the seagull had already snatched her meal!

Seeing her lunch fly away, the consultant looked utterly bewildered.

No, what… this is my lunch!

After the seagull snatched it away, it circled the coast for a moment; just as the consultant was about to speak, a sharp whistle rang out, and the head wearing the hat suddenly dipped.

It hurts!!!

The seagull that stole the food flew back again; in the frame, its ruffling gray wings could be clearly seen, and among a flock of similar seagulls, its thuggish demeanor was fully displayed!

One might ask how it can be singled out among a flock of similar seagulls—this seagull has a heart-shaped patch on its head, very conspicuous.

After snatching, it low‑altitude circled, constantly looping around the consultant.

Ling Yue heard its voice: 'So big, when will you let Dad eat? Unfilial daughter!'

Thus came the maneuver of snatching it away and then throwing it back; by sheer coincidence, it accurately struck the consultant on the head, perfectly caught by her hat.

The livestream viewers were all startled by this incident.

【Is this the American seagull? It's practically a bully—the consultant is about to burst into tears!】

【What a deal, catching the bully in action—where are the police? Sweep away evil, fight crime!】

【Stroking chin, is Huoshao Xiaojie guilty of offending the seagull?】

Seeing this, the consultant almost cried without tears; she took a deep breath and finally spoke her purpose: 'I truly don't know what I did to offend it—this isn't the first time; every time I come here on vacation, that seagull flies over, ignores everyone else, and just follows me!'

If that were all, she might even be happy—this isn't a Disney princess, but the fact is, the seagull follows her around, squawking noisily, which she finds utterly intolerable.

You Su Huo Shao held up the hat: 'Host sister, please talk to it for me—don't let it follow me and peck me!'

After saying that, You Su Huo Shao immediately relaxed.

The seagull singles her out for special attention; she feels wronged too—whenever she comes here, that heart‑headed seagull will surely come, harassing her in various ways; even now, with her eyes closed, she can picture it.

And yet she has no choice but to come.

Wow.

The livestream viewers heard this, astonished, and began speculating: maybe the young lady unintentionally committed a crime against it, after all, seagulls bear grudges!

【Maybe this thuggish seagull's way of showing affection is just off?】

【Some still watched the commotion, thinking it's no big deal: 'Is it just pecking and harassing people? I saw foreign news before—someone just walked by and a seagull pooped on their head!'

【Holy cow, seagulls are terrifying—they actually launched an air raid!】

Looking at this, You Su Huo Shao actually felt she was lucky QWQ

She shook her head: No way, she's definitely been PUA'd by the seagull!

You Su Huo Shao gazed pitifully at Ling Yue; Ling Yue naturally understood what she meant, and coincidentally the culprit was standing on the railings by the shore, eyes sharp, fixed on You Su Huo Shao.

"Unfilial daughter! Unfilial daughter! Unfilial daughter!"

Before Ling Yue could ask, she heard this string of angry words, and instantly raised her eyebrows in surprise.

She instinctively felt that the seagull and You Su Huo Shao might indeed have some history, and she got straight to the point: 'Unfilial daughter? What's your relationship with her?'

The seagull jumped back in shock—amazed that a human could understand its words!

Immediately, it puffed out its chest proudly, unafraid.

It had long been familiar with this area, knowing this was a phone, a tool humans use to communicate, and the voice coming from it was also human.

Upon hearing Ling Yue's words, the seagull's sharp claws shuffled back and forth on the railing, its gray wings over a meter long flapping ruffledly: 'What relationship? I'm her dad!',,.
