Reborn as His Intellectually Disabled Wife-Chapter 92: Riding the Coattails of a Dead Man’s Popularity

Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Riding the Coattails of a Dead Man’s Popularity

Even if Xiong Kaishuo had been given ten brains, he would never have imagined that everything Shi Mei did was an act!

Previously, when Xie Fangfang had exhausted all her efforts to explain to everyone that Shi Mei wasn’t a fool, even Xiong Kaishuo thought Xie Fangfang was slandering and framing Shi Mei.

At that time, he thought Xie Fangfang was pitifully stupid.

After all, who would believe such a lie?

But it was only when the same thing happened to himself that Xiong Kaishuo realized what Xie Fangfang had felt back then.

Absolutely no one believed his words.

Xiong Kaishuo regretted his past actions.

If only he had taken Xie Fangfang’s words to heart a little and had been a bit more vigilant against Shi Mei, things wouldn’t have turned out this way now.

He could only blame Shi Mei for acting too convincingly!

"Hello, Mr. Xiong," a nurse came in, wearing a medical mask and holding a syringe, "I’m here to give you some anti-inflammatory and pain relief medicine."

The intense pain between Xiong Kaishuo’s legs had eased a lot due to the anesthetic.

But since the effects of the anesthetic were limited, Xiong Kaishuo felt the pain coming back in waves.

Hearing her words, he urged, "Hurry up, it’s killing me!"

Without another word, the nurse injected the clear liquid from the syringe into the short tube next to the IV.

Xiong Kaishuo yawned and said groggily, "Wake me up when Miss Bai arrives and let those police officers call me."

The nurse didn’t make a sound and just pushed the cart and left.

Xiong Kaishuo soon fell asleep.

But probably not even he could have imagined that once he fell asleep, he would never wake up again.

Xiong Kaishuo died suddenly without warning.

An intern nurse had entered the wrong room and administered the wrong medication, which caused a severe reaction with the drugs Xiong Kaishuo was already on, leading to respiratory failure and his immediate death despite resuscitation efforts.

This was an extremely serious medical accident.

After making headlines everywhere, it wasn’t long before another version began circulating among acquaintances.

Rumor had it that Xiong Kaishuo had offended someone, and thus he was retaliated against and murdered.

Otherwise, how could he have been so unlucky?

However, who exactly he had offended remained unknown.

-

Shi Mei got a huge shock when she heard the news of Xiong Kaishuo’s death.

Subconsciously, she thought of Shi Lingyan.

Could it have been Shi Lingyan’s doing?

No, that’s impossible.

Such filthy tactics were beneath Shi Lingyan.

But how could Xiong Kaishuo just drop dead out of the blue?

Was it really just a stroke of bad luck?

If it was just a medical accident, that was one thing.

But if someone had intentionally plotted a murder...

Then the problem was serious.

Closing the news page, Shi Mei unintentionally stumbled upon another new message.

"Behind the Scenes Star secretly recruiting—could you be the next superstar? Click to participate—"

She clicked in, and it was a live interview.

Host: "Miss Bai, I heard that you’ve been preparing ’Behind the Scenes Star’ for a long time. Despite your ill health, why do you insist on continuing with this program? Is it because of your good friend, Tang Wu?"

In the video, Bai Yuejie’s face was made up exquisitely, making her appear much less ill.

"Yes," she said with a gentle smile and in a soft voice, "Xiao Wu was a person full of dreams. She once told me that she wanted to reignite the glory of Xia Country’s music scene, and that we could do a show together called ’Behind the Scenes Star’. Unfortunately, Xiao Wu passed away before she could start, and now," she said, her expression tinged with sadness, "most of the concept for the show was Xiao Wu’s. I’m simply fulfilling her last wish, to carry on and expand on her vision."

The host looked admiring, "That’s truly remarkable, to go to such lengths for a friend’s last wish. If Tang Wu has a spirit below, she would surely be proud of you!"
