Hospital 444-Chapter 494 - 21 Lu Mange (11)

Mang Ge’s expression was very ugly at this moment.

She had received news from the traffic police that the DUI offender had already been released from prison. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Since there were no fatalities in the case, the sentence was not harsh; the offender had performed well in prison, so he was granted early release. Before his release, his wife had divorced him. There was no clear information about where he went afterwards, but it was rumored that he had left to work out of town.

Thus, gaining further clues from this person was obviously not going to be easy.

In light of the current situation, what should she do?

However, the traffic police had told her something else.

In fact, although it was said that he was driving under the influence, he claimed that he had only had one beer and was nowhere near drunk.

The case was settled by the insurance company, and there wasn’t a serious incident, plus the driver himself didn’t have much in the way of assets to claim against, so Lu Mange eventually softened and didn’t seek a high civil compensation. Her parents’ appointed lawyer took care of the specifics, and as the court case was out of her area, she hardly ever attended the hearings.

As a result, she was unaware that the man had claimed in court that he lost control of the car because someone had appeared in front of his vehicle’s window.

This assertion seemed far-fetched, and the court naturally considered it a hallucination caused by intoxication.

Although he insisted he had only one beer, he fled the scene of the accident and was never tested for alcohol level, so there was no way to know how much he had drunk. Concerned that insisting on his claim might increase his sentence, he later recanted it in his statement.

This claim made Lu Mange acutely aware of a looming threat.

Looking at the box in her hand, she knew that maybe it was time for her to take proactive measures to resolve the current problem.

All the abnormalities with her husband, Li Zhixiao, obviously stemmed from that woman, Lin Lu.

So, she decided to give Lin Lu’s mother a call as well.

Because Lu Mange and Lin Lu were close friends, she had Lin Lu’s mother’s mobile number, especially when recalling the figure with a tattoo on her back that resembled her own, it made her feel it was necessary to start with Lin Lu.

Therefore, she dialed Lin Lu’s mother’s mobile number.

The call connected quickly: "Hello, is this Lin Lu’s mom?"

"Yes, hello, is this Mange?"

"Yes, it’s me. It’s about Lin Lu, I have a few questions to ask you."

"What, what happened to Lin Lu?"

"No, no, nothing. It’s just... I want to ask you a few questions."

"What is it actually, Mange?"

At this moment, Lu Mange became nervous. She picked up a glass of water beside her, took a sip, and moistened her throat.

She definitely couldn’t reveal the actual situation to Lin Lu’s mom, as all of this was too far-fetched; telling her everything would only make her think she was crazy. So...

"Lin Lu’s mom, listen to me, um, I wanted to ask about the tattoo on Lin Lu’s back... She told me that it was a hallucination she had when she was little. Not to hide it from you, but recently, Lin Lu..."

"What, has she relapsed?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Mange’s heart tightened.

Then, she had a sudden brainwave and simply said, "Right, she’s been having hallucinations recently..."

"At the time of your car accident, it was the same. When she first heard about your accident, she became like she was when she was a child, constantly hallucinating. You have no idea... her condition was terrible, always telling me strange things, claiming you were already dead..."

"What???"

"Back then, I lied to you, saying she had caught a serious cold, so I didn’t tell her about your car accident immediately. That’s why she was a week late in visiting you at the hospital. But that wasn’t true. Her condition was horrifying at that time. She actually told me she had attended your funeral, that she had personally confirmed your remains, and she even said that police were pulling out all stops in search of the real culprit... Oh yes, there was one occasion when she went to the hospital, but instead, she went to your husband’s ward."

"My husband’s... ward?"

"Yes. I was so surprised at the time because I had never told her which hospital you were in."

"Zhixiao never mentioned it to me!"

"He probably didn’t want to worry you, so he never told you, I guess. At the time, she barged into your husband’s ward, accusing him of not protecting you well enough, causing you to... Anyway, we only found out later and went to the hospital to take her back. A week after your car accident, Lin Lu... her mental state returned to normal,"

"Afterwards, she was normal again?"

"Yes, she was. But during her hallucinations, she would say things that were terrifying, enough to make our hair stand on end."

"Terrifying things? What, what did she say?"

"She said that when she went to the hospital, she saw that figure again. The tattoo on her back, that frightening figure..."

Hearing this, Lu Mange started to feel frightened inside.

Lin Lu had hallucinated that she herself had died?

And coincidentally, Zhixiao also said he died in the car accident that year?

What exactly is going on here?

Moreover, Lin Lu experienced hallucinations, and the driver responsible also had bizarre hallucinations...

Are all these coincidences, or?

Therefore, she decided to go look for Lin Lu, she wanted to know what exactly was happening.

"Mang Ge, what exactly happened to Lin Lu?"

She said to Lin Lu’s mother on the other end of the phone, "Lin Lu’s mom, Lin Lu is actually fine. I have a bit of an emergency right now, I’ll call you back in a while."

After hanging up the phone, she immediately walked toward Lin Lu’s home.

With the box, there shouldn’t be any significant trouble.

Malevolent Ghost...

If what that driver responsible for the accident was saying is true...

There was a "person" appearing in front of his car window...

That "person" triggered the accident...

And then, Lin Lu once again started to have the hallucinations she had as a child.

In her hallucinations, she saw herself dead.

The driver responsible for the accident, Lin Lu, and Zhixiao, did all three of them experience hallucinations?

All of this was clearly caused by the Malevolent Ghost!

Lu Mange became more certain of this.

If that’s the case, then Lin Lu herself is also a victim.

She needed to know the reason behind everything!

...

Upon arriving at the door of Lin Lu’s house, she immediately pressed the doorbell.

After the doorbell rang, she held the box tightly to her chest, getting ready.

Not long after, the door opened.

The one opening the door was...

Lin Lu!

"Mang Ge, what’s the matter with you? Why aren’t you answering my calls... What’s this box?"

"I have some things I want to talk to you about, Lin Lu."

"If you have something to say, come inside?"

"Let’s talk outside," Lu Mange dared not enter.

However, Lin Lu reached out her hand and dragged her inside.

"What are you talking about, come on in."

After being pulled in, Lin Lu quickly closed the door.

Lu Mange looked at Lin Lu, who was blocking the door.

This way, it would be very difficult to escape.

She clutched the box tightly.

Fortunately, it was daytime outside the window, which could give her some courage.

She had no choice but to slowly distance herself from Lin Lu and said, "Lin Lu, I just called your mom. She told me that when I had the car accident, you were not really down with a bad cold..."

"Back then." Lin Lu replied, "I indeed had some mental issues at that time. I’ve told you, haven’t I? As a child, I often had hallucinations, but I can’t remember what hallucinations I had back then. My parents didn’t talk much about it with me either."

"Your mother said that in your hallucinations, you saw me dead. She also said you attended my funeral."

Lu Mange clutched the box tightly and continued to ask, "What exactly..."

Just then, the box she was holding suddenly... sprang open!
