AMRWFA -Chapter 249 One Man Kills Seven People

Ruan Zhihe was anxious.

She quickly sent the name “Rong Zhenlong” to her teammates, asking them to find out which ward he was in, how his wife and child were doing, and whether there were any other victims…

Since she had only “heard” the name, she wasn’t even sure which characters it was made of—she could only hope her teammates would be capable enough.

Very soon, she didn’t need to worry anymore.

The man who had been lurking sneakily behind the greenery finally stepped out. He was clutching a worn-out bag, and something about him was obviously off.

The moment Ruan Yaoyao saw him, her first instinct was to tell Ruan Zhihe—【there was something wrong with this man. He had a knife in his bag and was planning to kill someone.】

He hadn’t acted yet?!

Ruan Zhihe felt a surge of relief. She immediately told Ruan Yaoyao to hide, then sent a second signal to her teammates—follow him first, observe the situation, and catch him in the act.

Rong Zhenlong was completely unaware. He glanced around, tucked the bag securely under his arm, avoided the nurses, and headed toward his wife’s ward.

Looking at the hospital’s luxurious facilities, resentment filled his heart. He was convinced the hospital must have scammed patients out of money to afford such a place—otherwise, where would they get the funds to build something so extravagant?

Wasn’t all this luxury just to squeeze money out of people?

His wife was staying in a single room. According to the hospital, this was a high-end private facility—patients needed a good environment to rest, so naturally they couldn’t be crowded together.

On the bed, his wife Bi Shaojie was sleeping soundly. Most women gained at least twenty or thirty pounds during pregnancy and childbirth, but his wife had actually become thinner after giving birth—she looked malnourished at a glance.

The baby’s crib beside her was empty.

Because of complications during childbirth, the baby had been placed in the ICU for emergency care and wouldn’t be out for at least three to five days.

The hospital knew they were struggling financially, so they hadn’t charged him extra, only billing him according to standard public hospital rates.

Clearly, Rong Zhenlong didn’t believe that at all—otherwise, none of this would be happening.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The more he thought, the more useless he found this woman. Back when his mother gave birth to him, she had done it right in the fields without any trouble at all—so why was this woman so problematic?

It had to be her fault.

And the hospital was scamming him too.

Rong Zhenlong took out a fruit knife from his bag. He had sharpened it himself—it was extremely sharp. Raising it high above his head, he brought it down with force…

By the time Ruan Yaoyao and Ruan Zhihe arrived, Rong Zhenlong had already been subdued by plainclothes officers.

Protected by Ruan Zhihe, Ruan Yaoyao watched from a distance.

The hospital staff—nurses and security—had all been alerted. Naturally, Bi Shaojie, lying in the maternity ward, was also awakened. She stared wide-eyed at the commotion filling the hospital, completely unaware of what was going on.

When someone explained the situation to her, she kept shaking her head.

“Impossible! My husband isn’t that kind of person. Are you mistaken?”

【He was literally holding a knife, and she still doesn’t believe it?!】

【Does Rong Zhenlong usually treat her that well? Why does she trust him so much?】

Ruan Yaoyao quickly flipped through Bi Shaojie’s “profile.” After reading it, her head started to ache.

【What kind of Wang Baochuan storyline is this?!】

【Rong Zhenlong treats her like crap. Right after marriage, he dumped her back in the countryside under the excuse of ‘filial piety’ to his parents.】

【Damn! Those are your parents—what does that have to do with Bi Shaojie?!】

【But Bi Shaojie has no backbone. Her mother-in-law controls her completely—whatever she’s told to do, she does. In scorching 30+ degree heat, she was sent out to weed the fields and even got heatstroke. Luckily, a passing neighbor found her and saved her.】

【And even then, her mother-in-law accused her of having an affair with that neighbor—otherwise, why would he save her instead of someone else?】

Ruan Yaoyao wanted to curse.

【He saved your daughter-in-law, and you still say something like that? Do you want her to die out there?!】

【Bi Shaojie has very low self-esteem because the Rong family ‘bought’ her for 50,000 yuan—the money was used for her younger brother’s marriage. She feels inferior because of it…】

【Her mother-in-law constantly uses that against her: “You cost my son 50,000 yuan—who has such an expensive daughter-in-law?”】

【…】

【If you think she’s expensive, then don’t marry her!】

【But Bi Shaojie actually agrees with it.】

【What are you agreeing to?! You didn’t even spend that money—what does it have to do with you?!】

【Back in her hometown, she suffered endlessly under a difficult mother-in-law. Her father-in-law was around, but useless—aside from farm work, he did nothing, acting like a hands-off patriarch. Sometimes he drank, and when he was in a bad mood, he beat his wife.】

【And when the mother-in-law got beaten, she vented her anger on Bi Shaojie.】

【…】

【That’s domestic violence, isn’t it?】

【It’s not like Bi Shaojie never got pregnant before. When Rong Zhenlong came back during holidays, they did sleep together. So yes, she had been pregnant…】

【But she didn’t know. She miscarried.】

【From exhaustion.】

【…】

Ruan Yaoyao had already lost count of how many times she had been left speechless. Even Ruan Zhihe didn’t know what to say anymore.

She used to think her own sisters had suffered enough—but now she realized there was always someone worse off.

Because of repeated miscarriages, Bi Shaojie gradually found it harder and harder to conceive. This gave the Rong family even more reason to insult her, calling her a hen that couldn’t lay eggs.

If the Rong family hadn’t been poor, her mother-in-law would have wanted to replace her entirely.

【As her in-laws got older, they said they had never been to a big city and wanted to see one. So Rong Zhenlong brought all three of them to the city, squeezing them into his rented room.】

【Inside the room, Bi Shaojie found a worn pair of women’s shoes, some old clothes, and even a lipstick. She had her suspicions, but Rong Zhenlong told her they were discarded items he picked up for her because they were still usable.】

【Bi Shaojie didn’t mind and was actually very happy.】

【Soon after, Rong Zhenlong complained that she did nothing at home all day and found her a cleaning job.】

【She never saw a single cent of her salary. Her mother-in-law bought all the groceries and claimed it was because Bi Shaojie worked too hard.】

【…】

【Wasn’t it actually to keep her from touching money? She never even got her wages—wake up, girl…】

【This time, she finally got good news—she felt like she had turned her life around and could finally sing with joy.】

【Of course, she didn’t get to celebrate. When her mother-in-law was pregnant back in the day, she still worked in the fields—so how could Bi Shaojie be so delicate? She only had a cleaning job, sheltered from wind and sun—wasn’t that already comfortable enough?】

Seeing Bi Shaojie wake up at six in the morning to prepare three meals a day, do laundry, clean the house, go to work, and only go to bed at midnight, Ruan Yaoyao was speechless.

【This is what you call “delicate”?】

【When I was pregnant, I had four maids, two drivers, two nutritionists, a yoga instructor, and—】

【Then what does that make me?】

Ruan Zhihe glanced at Ruan Yaoyao.

She hadn’t expected Aunt Xu to have lived in such luxury back then—so many people attending to her during pregnancy.

But thinking about the Xu family’s status, it suddenly made sense.

After all, it was Aunt Xu—being a little pampered was only natural!
