Great, It's the Pervy Neighbor. We're Doomed

Chapter 384: Becoming an Accomplice

"I am indeed the man in the white mask."Zhong Hui said calmly.

Jiang Ran said, "Think carefully about everything that happened today."

"Connecting the dots, I realized that every action taken today was actively proposed by Fatty."

"Visiting the ancient pagoda was his idea, creating an opportunity for you."

"After that, going to look for Wang Haoran and the other one who hadn't returned was also his suggestion, giving you another opportunity."

"So, what exactly is your grudge against Jiang Weixin?"

Zhong Hui, who had been a silent observer all day, said, "I don't have any particularly deep hatred for him. Although I often found him unpleasant, I certainly didn't reach the point of wanting to kill him."

"However, after that incident, my desire to kill him grew stronger and stronger."

He pointed at his own eyes.

Zhong Hui continued, "I'm nearsighted. Wearing glasses all the time was inconvenient, so I wanted to get laser eye surgery to get rid of them."

"Jiang Weixin somehow found out and recommended an ophthalmologist at a private hospital, saying this doctor was highly skilled, absolutely no problem, and did excellent work."

"I didn't think much about it at the time. I figured his recommendation should be good, considering how wealthy he is."

"But what was the result?"

"My eyes were ruined!"

Zhong Hui roared in fury, "After the surgery, these eyes of mine didn't see the world clearly like other people's do."

"Instead, I developed problems like distorted vision, severe double vision, and dry eye syndrome!!!"

"Do you know how utterly devastated I am every single day when I open my eyes? I can't even look at my phone properly! Because when I look at my phone, everything is double vision, distorted and warped. One glance and I feel like vomiting!"

"My entire life is over!"

"I went to confront that doctor, and he told me, 'The surgery was very successful. You just need some time to adjust.'"

"Fine. I adjusted for several months, but I was still stuck in this wretched state."

"I went to find him again, and he told me, 'All of this is just psychological!'"

"Hahaha! Psychological?!"

Zhong Hui gnashed his teeth, "He ruined my eyes, and he says it's psychological?!"

Wang Qingzhao spoke up at this point, "In that condition, regular prescription glasses wouldn't help anymore, right?"

"Right. Regular prescription glasses are useless now. They can't correct it."

Zhong Hui sneered.

"I can only wear expensive RGP lenses or scleral lenses, costing ten to twenty thousand a pair!!!"

"And these things need to be replaced with new ones every one or two years!"

"What's more, wearing them is really uncomfortable, and they don't fully correct the vision either. There are still some residual issues. It can't restore the feeling of wearing regular glasses!"

"In short! He completely destroyed my life!!!!"

Zhong Hui collapsed, falling to his knees.

Jiang Ran asked, "It seems that doctor was a quack. In that case, why would Jiang Weixin harm you? It can't be just for a referral commission, can it?!"

Zhong Hui looked up, a cold smile on his face, "That quack is Wang Haoran's relative. Simply put, Jiang Weixin was doing Wang Haoran a favor, and Wang Haoran got the commission."

Upon learning this, Jiang Ran suddenly became agitated and cursed loudly, "They're worse than animals! Jiang Weixin! And Wang Haoran! The lowest of the low!!!"

"To actually screw over a classmate like that!!!!"

Jiang Ran hadn't expected these two scoundrels to be this despicable.

Moreover, Jiang Ran always felt that these two probably had more enemies than just the people present.

They just got to them first.

Then, he said, "So, can you let me and Wang Qingzhao go?"

Zhong Hui suddenly understood. So Jiang Ran's furious cursing of Jiang Weixin and the other was a setup for this.

He shook his head, "No. The two of you already know the whole secret. You must die here."

"Of course, even if you didn't know, you'd still have to die here."

"After all, it's all your fault, Jiang Ran, for discovering our secret."

At this moment, Fatty suddenly exclaimed in alarm,

"Not good! That Liu Sha and Xu Ernian are both gone!"

Fatty remembered those two people and went to their tent, only to find it completely empty.

Hearing this news, the short guy and the others grew tense, "Damn, we forgot about those two! They must have seen what we did! If they spill the beans, we'll all be eating prison food!!!!"

Everyone was panicking, except for Zhong Hui, who waved his hand dismissively.

"Don't be afraid. Those two won't talk about what happened today."

Fatty was puzzled, "Why?"

Zhong Hui explained, "Those two, didn't you think they were both a bit odd? They came to this Qingfeng Mountain definitely not for hiking, not for tourism or as backpackers. They absolutely have some ulterior motive."

"So, rest assured. I guarantee it myself. It's fine. Those two will definitely not talk about what happened today."

Everyone was half-convinced, half-doubting, but thinking that Zhong Hui was also on this sinking ship, they'd all go down together if it came to that.

"So, next, it's time to deal with these two."

Zhong Hui's gaze returned to Jiang Ran and Wang Qingzhao.

In the "I Want to Be the Treasure King" live stream room.

Bomb King first sent an emoji of someone picking their nose in the live stream room.

Then he typed: [That's it? That's it? That's it?]

[This is what you call raising the stakes? He's about to die at the hands of his university classmates. Hilarious.]

Middle-aged Uncle was quite calm: [Don't worry. Jiang Ran can turn danger into safety even in extremely perilous situations. This little situation is nothing.]

Bomb King: [Hmph, boasting.]

...

Back at the campsite on the summit of Qingfeng Mountain.

Facing the imminent life-and-death crisis.

Jiang Ran, lying on the ground, squirmed like an eel and said excitedly, "Don't kill us! We can join you!"

Zhong Hui said, "Join us? How?"

Jiang Ran said, "Jiang Weixin is dead, but there's still Wang Haoran."

"Let Qingzhao and I both take action, participate in killing Wang Haoran. Wouldn't that mean we participated, becoming accomplices?! Then we'd all be in this together!!!"

Zhong Hui listened to this idea without saying a word.

The others also remained silent.

Fatty spoke up at this point, "Seems... not entirely impossible. This way, they'd be murderers too, and naturally wouldn't leak anything."

Jiang Ran couldn't help but nod, "Exactly! That's right!!!"

Zhong Hui looked at the others. Under the light of the outdoor camping light, their expressions varied, each lost in their own thoughts.

Zhong Hui said, "Who agrees? Who opposes?"

No one spoke.

He said again, "Those who oppose, step forward?!"

Seeing that no one stepped forward to oppose, Zhong Hui said, "Since that's the case, then we'll let you become our accomplices. Get on the boat together."

"Jiang Ran, I'm sorry for hitting your head earlier."

Zhong Hui extended a hand, wanting to help Jiang Ran up, but Jiang Ran shook his head, "Let me lie here a bit longer! Also, do any of you have bandages?"

It seemed no one had brought bandages, or perhaps these people didn't care about the injury on Jiang Ran's head.

They were more concerned about how to deal with Wang Haoran next.

Originally, the method to deal with Wang Haoran was simple: just throw him off the cliff and let him fall to his death.

But because of Jiang Ran's interference, that was definitely not an option anymore.

Also, they needed Jiang Ran and Wang Qingzhao to join, so they definitely had to personally finish him off.

"Since that's the case, I absolutely cannot let Wang Haoran die so comfortably."

A dark glint flashed in his eyes.

Fatty asked Zhong Hui to help him untie the ropes binding Wang Haoran.

Then they bound Wang Haoran again, in a spread-eagle position reminiscent of being drawn and quartered, using ropes.

Five ropes were looped around his neck, hands, and feet. The connection and anchoring points for all five ropes were all tent pegs.

After completing this, Fatty used a bottle of mineral water to wake up Wang Haoran, who had been knocked out by the sedative.

Seeing this, Jiang Ran asked, "So you really did put sedative in that pot of mung bean soup."

Zhong Hui looked back and said, "Think too much. There was no sedative in the mung bean soup or the food I made."

"Because the initial target wasn't you guys, only the remaining Wang Haoran. So Wang Haoran passed out because Fatty tampered with the bottle of water in his tent."
