I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 1141: Chapter 1140: She Killed Him

During the evening bonfire barbecue, Beisitian wasn’t very interested, yet she still took a walk nearby. Around the pitch-black edge of the lake, sure enough, there was a group of young people, drinking beer, and eating barbecued skewers. The scent of meat filled the air, mixed with the fragrance of cumin.

As she strolled by the lake, laughter reached her ears, although it was unclear how much of it was genuine joy, and some even sounded indulgent, a release of emotion.

”Didn’t you see, there’s something on the lake!” Mo Qinghe shouted, pointing at the lake surface. He quickly stood up and grabbed a burning stick, rushing over.

He stretched out the burning stick and did indeed see something in the water by the light of the fire. By now, quite a few people had followed him over.

”It’s a person!” Zhou Shengjie shouted, ”Quick! Pull them up!”

The water by the bank wasn’t very deep, but if there was an undercurrent, even someone who could swim would be swept into the lake. Not to mention, none of these people were particularly good swimmers.

That’s why Zhou Shengjie shouted for a long time without going down himself, and no one else moved either. In the end, it was Fei Yunqing who decided to go down.

”Wait.”

Just as Fei Yunqing was about to wade into the lake, a voice came from behind. Upon hearing it, he stopped and turned back.

Beisitian walked over from a short distance away, holding a rope in her hand. She handed it to him and said, ”Tie it around your waist and have someone hold the other end. It’ll be safer.”

Fei Yunqing took the rope, smiled, and said, ”Thank you!” Then he fastened it around his waist.

Zhou Shengjie glanced at Beisitian. It was best not to mess with this woman. She had even driven away the Zhou Family’s Quasi Great Power, let alone himself. Mo Qinghe nudged him with his elbow, and the two of them held onto one end of the rope.

Only then did Fei Yunqing wade into the water.

The person floating on the lake was motionless. Only part of their body was visible above the water, indicating slim chances of survival. Fei Yunqing gently grabbed the person and began leading them toward the shore.

The water in that area was already up to his waist, but fortunately, the ground beneath wasn’t too soft, so he could stand relatively steadily.

Watching Fei Yunqing walk back, You Hong’an shook his head almost imperceptibly.

”What? Did he do something wrong?”

You Hong’an knew Beisitian was standing beside him. At her question, he replied, ”Daring to go in when the situation was unclear; he’s not a reckless boy.”

”No wonder you didn’t go in,” Beisitian chuckled.

You Hong’an glanced at Beisitian. Under the firelight, her face was extraordinarily beautiful.

”That question is odd. Do I need to go in?” You Hong’an retorted.

Beisitian smiled without answering. There was indeed no need, but that wasn’t the point of her question.

Fei Yunqing quickly brought the person ashore, laying them flat on the ground. As the torch moved closer, a swollen face appeared before everyone. Despite the face being swollen beyond recognition, and tinged an abnormal pallor, it was still recognized at a glance.

”Uncle!” Zhou Shengjie exclaimed in shock.

He stared wide-eyed, unbelieving what he saw. His uncle, Zhou Xinghai, was dead!

”It’s impossible. I saw Uncle leave at four in the afternoon; how could he be dead now!” Zhou Shengjie’s face turned pale.

If previously the crowd had felt indignant and annoyed about being confined, now they were also filled with dread. They finally began to feel fear.

Zhou Shengjie stared blankly at Zhou Xinghai’s swollen body, then abruptly looked up at Beisitian behind the crowd. ”It was you! You did it! You bore a grudge and killed my uncle!”

Everyone’s gaze followed Zhou Shengjie’s voice, shifting to the figure at the back.
