Chapter 1 As a Surgeon

As a surgeon, Zhou Ze could easily detect the unusual nature of the corpse's death. So, those forensic doctors whose expertise aligned with his would obviously be able to discover it as well.

Therefore, in Zhou Ze's opinion, the creation of this car accident was actually very unsuccessful; it was merely "superficial" and couldn't stand scrutiny at all.

He wondered if these people had other tricks or means to perfectly complete this case into an accidental event, or were these people just "newbies"?

Of course, now was not the time to think about this question, because these people didn't seem to intend to continue the small talk.

"Grab them, then drive their car away."

The bus driver looked at the time; time was precious now.

Several of his men pounced directly. To them, a thin man plus two young women wouldn't be able to cause any trouble at all.

Bai Yingying tilted her head and looked at Zhou Ze, waiting for his order.

Doctor Lin stood in place. It was clear that she was nervous, but she didn't scream or shout. Being able to do this was already quite remarkable.

Most people, when faced with this situation, even those who usually prided themselves on being fearless, would probably kneel down and beg for mercy, shouting, "I didn't see anything."

"Don't kill anyone," Zhou Ze reminded.

"Haha." The bus driver laughed when he heard this.

Unfortunately, Zhou Ze's words weren't directed at him.

Bai Yingying responded with a "Got it!" and then rushed forward directly.

Zhou Ze took a step back, grabbed Doctor Lin's hand, and said, "It's okay, I'm here."

Bai Yingying, who was rushing ahead, almost staggered.

*I'm* charging forward,

And you actually have the leisure to be lovey-dovey back there?

Little mistress,

Oh, no, even maids have dignity!

Doctor Lin pursed her lips. She blamed herself and said, "I'm sorry."

It was she who stopped the car to save people, which led to everyone encountering this crisis, so she apologized.

"It's what I should do; it's a professional habit," Zhou Ze said with a wry smile. Last time at the cinema, he also rushed in like this. He could only say that some professional habits really couldn't be changed.

The female corpse had just been stuffed with dog food (a slang term for public displays of affection), and her attacks became unconsciously heavier.

"Little beauty, come on, Big Brother will take care of you."

A man opened his arms, preparing to hug this high school girl.

The boss didn't want them to kill people here, but was preparing to take them away. After all, this matter couldn't be delayed for too long.

However, his hands embraced empty air.

Immediately afterwards, his left arm was grabbed by the female corpse.

"Crack..."

"Crack..."

"Crack..."

Doctor Lin's body trembled as she heard it. Zhou Ze also found it a bit jarring.

He even felt that the "Miaocui Jiao" (a snack brand) commercial could definitely achieve a better sound effect here than the current advertisement.

Crunchy.

The man opened his mouth wide; he couldn't even scream in pain. The female corpse took another step forward and kicked the man's calf.

"Creak... creak... creak..."

Another three crisp sounds.

Kebi Ke (another snack brand) could also come and record the sound for their advertisement, Zhou Ze thought.

"I… damn…"

The man curled up on the ground. One arm was completely crippled, and the other leg was completely broken. He looked like a toad lying on the ground, only able to wail and squirm.

Zhou Ze didn't have the slightest bit of compassion. He didn't allow the female corpse to kill people because matters of the living world should be handled by the police. He believed that the country's judicial system would allow all evil to be brought to justice.

But these people in front of him were, after all, cold-blooded murderers, and they were also preparing to attack him. Zhou Ze didn't have such a burst of saintly compassion to feel that treating them this way was pitiful.

Who knows what they were planning to do to the three of them just now?

If he was still the doctor from his previous life, and the female corpse was just a high school girl, then who would pity them?

"Bang!"

"Clang!"

"Snap!"

The other two men were directly knocked down. It was the same; their bones were broken. Although not fatal, they were crippled.

From Zhou Ze's professional perspective, even if these three people on the ground were treated in the hospital, they would mostly be unable to take care of themselves for the rest of their lives.

The bus driver's phone fell and smashed on the ground.

He swallowed subconsciously,

Feeling that everything in front of him was so unreal.

He didn't bring a gun, because he was previously planning to face questioning and investigation from traffic police and the police, so naturally, he couldn't bring any contraband.

He originally thought that even if there were more "enthusiastic" people like Zhou Ze, the matter wouldn't change too much.

Even if there were changes, he would still be able to control them.

However, now the problem was very serious, because this girl walked up to him.

"I..." The bus driver's acting skills were excellent just now, but now he couldn't even speak.

"Bang!"

The female corpse reached out and directly flipped the bus driver onto the ground, stepping on his neck with one foot.

"Stop for a moment."

Zhou Ze shouted.

The female corpse stopped without asking why.

Zhou Ze walked forward, squatted down, reached out and patted the bus driver's stubble-covered face,

Then he felt that he was being superfluous, and wiped his hand on the female corpse's trouser leg.

This guy's face was so greasy.

"..." Female corpse.

"Do you have anyone else?"

What Zhou Ze had to consider now was how to solve all the potential troubles. He himself wasn't afraid of anything, but this matter couldn't be kept secret. What if the small fry were taken care of, but the big boss ran away, and the other party placed the target of revenge on Doctor Lin?

There was no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days.

Previously, the little loli said that there was a similar being to her in Rong City who was overstepping his bounds and acting as a judge. Zhou Ze naturally couldn't follow in his footsteps.

Although emotionally, Zhou Ze was indeed very fascinated by him, feeling that he was very awesome and had a lot of dreams.

But this matter had already affected his daily life; he had to personally make an end to it.

The female corpse directly smashed down on the bus driver's left arm.

"Creak..."

"Ahhh!!! It's gone, it's gone... There's only a few of us, we met while working... There's only a few of us; we were hired by the employer."

Zhou Ze nodded, then looked at the female corpse and said, "Is there any way to make them not remember this?"

Zhou Ze didn't want to cause trouble, or even be on the news.

The female corpse made a throat-slitting gesture.

Zhou Ze shook his head; he couldn't kill, at least, he couldn't kill them himself.

"Or, boss, you can stab them with your fingernails. It can make them confused for a while, like they're drunk, and then they'll have a blackout."

"How much should I stab?" Zhou Ze asked.

"Stab a little bit, otherwise they might really die. Also, I know you don't want to cause trouble. After you go back, burn all the remaining paper money you have; trouble won't come to your door.

But probably no one will throw money at the store entrance anymore."

Zhou Ze looked up at Doctor Lin in the distance, then silently walked to each of the thugs lying on the ground, and unobtrusively stabbed them one by one with the black fingernail that grew on his little finger. These people all trembled, foamed at the mouth, and then quickly lost consciousness.

But none of them were in mortal danger.

Looking around, there shouldn't be any cameras here, otherwise they wouldn't have chosen this place as the scene of the designed accident. Zhou Ze picked up one of their phones, dialed the police, and then threw the phone away.

After doing all this, Zhou Ze waved to Doctor Lin over there, and then sat back in Doctor Lin's car.

Doctor Lin also sat in the driver's seat.

"Drive away first; don't stop here," Zhou Ze reminded.

"Okay." Doctor Lin took a deep breath, then started the car.

"Don't tell anyone about this,"

Zhou Ze reminded as the car was driving.

"Why?" Doctor Lin was obviously a little unable to understand.

Zhou Ze pointed behind him,

"She's a successor of Taiji Bagua Palm (a martial art), because she accidentally crippled someone when sparring with others, so she fled to my place. She saved me just now, so our identities can't be exposed, otherwise she'll be arrested by the police."

The female corpse in the back rolled her eyes.

This was a lie.

Doctor Lin remained silent, not knowing if she really believed it, but just continued to drive silently.

The car still drove to the People's Hospital. For Doctor Lin, even if Zhou Ze didn't say to go there at the beginning, she would subconsciously drive there; after all, that was her workplace, and she could find a sense of security there.

The car drove into the People's Hospital parking lot, and all three got out of the car.

Doctor Lin didn't ask where Zhou Ze was going. She couldn't imagine that the place Zhou Ze wanted to go to was actually the emergency room. She just walked forward silently.

The female corpse leaned close to Zhou Ze's ear and said, "Are you still confessing your feelings tonight?"

She was very smart. From the details such as Lin Wanqiu buying Zhou Ze's house before his death, she had actually deduced many inside stories.

"It's not a Qiong Yao drama (referring to melodramatic romance novels and TV series), why would I do something so sentimental?" Zhou Ze shrugged.

Although there was a small interlude on the road that made Doctor Lin still a little absent-minded, Zhou Ze didn't intend to give up his original plan.

Such a woman, and also the legal wife of his current body,

Not telling her the truth so she can sleep peacefully with him at night,

Would he be out of his mind?

Hiding and concealing, twists and turns, tearful and moving, and then hysterical, that was the routine that Aunt Qiong Yao liked. He, Zhou Ze, didn't like it.

Doctor Lin sat down on a long chair at the parking lot exit. Zhou Ze sat down beside her.

The female corpse very tactfully didn't come over.

The two sat together.

Lin Wanqiu took a deep breath. Her pretty face looked even more exquisite in the moonlight.

Zhou Ze admired her from the side.

Having such a beautiful woman, and still such a good-looking wife,

Constantly missing himself, who had been dead for more than half a year,

The sense of accomplishment was really bursting.

"Is what happened just now really okay?" Doctor Lin was obviously not completely divorced from what had just happened.

"We didn't do anything wrong, right?" Zhou Ze comforted her.

Doctor Lin nodded.

"Just like those very brave anti-drug police, they will also hide their identities, and their families will do the same. This is to ensure their safety; this is the great sacrifice they have made."

"So, you're afraid of retaliation?"

"Yeah."

"Okay, I understand." Doctor Lin nodded.

Zhou Ze raised his hand, preparing to hug the woman, and then the "moment to witness a miracle" would come. As a result, Doctor Lin spoke first:

"What exactly is your relationship with her?

Xu Le, please answer me seriously. This time, no matter what you answer, I will believe you." Doctor Lin looked at Zhou Ze and asked, "I will forgive everything."

"There's really nothing going on," Zhou Ze said with a wry smile. He could only say that both times were too coincidental.

Doctor Lin was silent again. Just as Zhou Ze was about to speak, Doctor Lin took the initiative to reach out and grasped Zhou Ze's hand. Zhou Ze was stunned for a moment.

"Xu Le, I'm sorry to you. I've always loved another man. You should have already discovered it; otherwise, you wouldn't have appeared in that house.

Although I and that man are innocent, I admit that I had a spiritual affair. I'm sorry to you, because you are my nominal husband."

"It doesn't..."

Zhou Ze was just about to speak when Doctor Lin spoke again:

"I've figured out our matter.

I'll give you two choices.

One, we get divorced. I'll compensate you one million yuan myself. The bookstore is also yours."

"What divorce?" Zhou Ze said.

"Two, I will try to forget that man, and I will steadily choose to live with you, and be your... true wife, to make up for what I owed you before.

Xu Le, I am willing to try, to give you everything I have, and fulfill the duties and responsibilities of a wife."

When she said these words, Doctor Lin's eyes were red. She resigned herself to fate.

"Okay... Hey, wait a minute."

Zhou Ze's mind was a little unable to turn around for a while. This relationship was a bit messy. He had to sort it out first. Then Zhou Ze finally understood the details, and was so angry that he immediately stood up and pointed at Doctor Lin, somewhat recklessly saying:

"No way,

You have to keep cheating!"

"..." Doctor Lin.

"Pfft..." The female corpse in the distance, pretending to be looking at the scenery but actually eavesdropping on gossip with her extraordinary hearing, directly burst out laughing,

Then she squatted down while clutching her stomach,

"Hahahaha, I'm laughing so hard my stomach hurts!"
