Chapter 209: Toxic BFF

　　Lu Fei had Huzi hold the pendant's glass bottle while he unfolded the red paper fragment.

　　In fact, it's not red paper; it's just stained with blood.

　　The fragments of paper were as big as a fingernail, with Zhou Yuyang's name and birth date written in very small characters on them, followed by a row of strange runes below.

　　"This is a fortune-borrowing talisman, and specifically one that borrows from blood fortune! It's this thing that caused you, Mr. Zhou, to have a car accident and almost cost you your life!" Lu Fei said with great certainty after examining it carefully.

　　Upon hearing this, everyone in the ward changed their expressions.

　　Zhou Yuyang turned pale, his heart completely chilled, and he looked at Ding Xiaoying helplessly.

　　"What do you have to say for yourself?"

　　"Yuyang, I didn't harm you!"

　　Ding Xiaoying's eyes welled up with tears, full of shock and grievance.

　　"This pendant was given to me by Meiyun. She said it could help me keep your heart. How could there be anything wrong with it?"

　　"It must be them. I heard there are some scammers who specifically..."

　　"The evidence is right in front of you, and you're still making excuses...I won't believe you anymore." Zhou Yuyang shook his head and painfully closed his eyes.

　　"Yuyang, I really didn't mean to harm you! I was just afraid you would leave me, so I wanted to use this pendant..." Ding Xiaoying desperately rushed to the bedside, tears falling one by one.

　　Seeing Zhou Yuyang's firm attitude, she finally realized the severity of the situation.

　　"Is there really something wrong with the necklace?"

　　Seeing the disdainful expressions of the others, her body went limp, as if she had been dealt a tremendous blow.

　　"I really didn't know it would turn out like this...Why would Meiyun do such a thing? I always considered her my best friend..."

　　She was at a loss, seeming genuinely unaware.

　　Lu Fei looked at her and said, "Mr. Zhou, the necklace was given to her by her friend, which Hu Zhi witnessed with his own eyes."

　　"So what? Maybe they're both in on it, trying to harm me?" Zhou Yuyang laughed sarcastically, "Every time she met that best friend of hers, she would come back and look at me with displeasure, always saying I wasn't good enough to her."

　　He looked at Ding Xiaoying coldly.

　　"Aren't all my recent misfortunes and the car accident caused by you all?"

　　"Not only did you take my luck, but you also want my life! How can your hearts be so cruel?"

　　"I've been good to you, even buying an engagement ring. What more could you possibly want?"

　　"An engagement ring? Weren't you just tired of me and planning to dump me?" Ding Xiaoying was stunned, looking at Zhou Yuyang in disbelief.

　　"When did I ever want to dump you? It's you who kept causing trouble, alright? I must have been out of my mind to keep tolerating you!" Zhou Yuyang was almost laughing in anger.

　　Ding Xiaoying was completely dumbfounded. After a while, she managed to say in a hoarse voice, "Why would Meiyun lie to me? She said that my family background is poor and that I have a leeching brother, making me unworthy of you. She said you would eventually leave me..."

　　"I don't want to hear another word from you." Zhou Yuyang took a deep breath and turned to look at Lu Fei, "Manager Lu, now that things are clear, can I get my luck back?"

　　"Of course, but we need to find the person who borrowed your luck, as your nail clippings and hair are with them," Lu Fei nodded and replied.

　　"You heard that, give me back my nail clippings and hair." Zhou Yuyang coldly extended his hand toward Ding Xiaoying, turning his head away, not wanting to look at her anymore.

　　"Yuyang, I didn't take them, really... I remember now, Meiyun came to our house, I never thought she would do something like this. Please, believe me..." Ding Xiaoying cried.

　　"Please, alright? Just give my hair back, and I won't pursue this! From now on, let's go our separate ways." Zhou Yuyang said irritably.

　　"I really don't have it..."

　　Ding Xiaoying just kept crying.

　　Zhou Yuyang was in a terrible mood.

　　Lu Fei, seeing that this situation couldn't go on, said, "President Zhou, there is actually a way to verify Miss Ding, but it depends on whether Miss Ding is willing to do it or not."

　　Although Ding Xiaoying was beautiful, she didn't look particularly intelligent.

　　Being pretty and having a good face are two different things.

　　Her eyes were slightly wide-set, her nose bridge was not high, and her ears were lower than her eyes, which gave the impression of someone who was not very smart and lacked initiative.

　　It was not out of the question that she might have been deceived and taken advantage of.

　　"What method?" Zhou Yuyang asked hurriedly.

　　Ding Xiaoying also stopped crying and looked at Lu Fei.

　　"I'm willing! As long as it can help Yuyang get his luck back and prove my innocence, I'm willing to do anything!"

　　"Get Mr. Zhou's fingernails and hair back from your best friend, but on the condition that you don't alert her. Can you do that?" Lu Fei said.

　　"Okay, I'll go right away!"

　　Ding Xiaoying wiped her tears and took a deep look at Zhou Yuyang.

　　"Yuyang, wait for me! I will definitely get your fingernails and hair back!"

　　With that, she hastily ran out of the ward.

　　Then Lu Fei gave Hu Zi a signal, telling him to follow quietly in case Ding Xiaoying tried any tricks.

　　Zhou Yuyang sighed bitterly.

　　The feeling of being betrayed by someone close to you is truly terrible. Why did such an unlucky thing happen to him?

　　Liu Fugui opened his mouth, wanting to offer some words of comfort, but he didn't know what to say.

　　Everyone remained silent.

　　"Mr. Lu, you must think I'm quite ridiculous, right? Believing in her time and time again." Zhou Yuyang spoke up first.

　　"You can't put it that way. Putting yourself in his shoes, no one would want their own girlfriend to be the one who hurts them. Giving her a chance is also giving yourself a chance."

　　Lu Fei said, handing the blood-dripping pendant to him.

　　"Mr. Zhou, this item is not an evil object, and Sinisterium Pawnshop does not accept it. You can handle it yourself."

　　"The purest love, hahaha..."

　　Zhou Yuyang laughed sarcastically and threw it directly into the trash bin.

　　In the evening.

　　Huzi returned first.

　　"Miss Ding is on her way! She went to an apartment and stayed there for the whole afternoon. She's rushing to the hospital now, I'm not sure if she got what she needed."

　　"Her best friend lives in that apartment." Zhou Yuyang couldn't help but feel nervous, looking out of the ward.

　　Ten minutes later.

　　Ding Xiaoying pushed open the door and walked in.

　　Her face was particularly pale, and she looked completely drained and haggard.

　　Everyone in the ward was staring at her.

　　She hung her head, not daring to meet anyone's gaze, and took a red cloth from her bag, placing it on the bed.

　　"Yuyang, this is for you."

　　Zhou Yuyang quickly unfolded the red cloth, revealing some fingernails and bits of hair inside.

　　"Manager Lu?"

　　His heart was racing as he nervously looked at Lu Fei.

　　These things could be easily faked, and without Lu Fei's confirmation, he did not dare to believe them easily.

　　"Burn them to find out."

　　Lu Fei had Hu Zi take these items to the bathroom and burn them, then flush the ashes down the toilet.

　　"Has my luck returned?" Zhou Yuyang did not feel any miraculous change.
