While asleep, Jiangli’s soul seed to split in two halves, one half asleep, the other half alert, listening to everything happening outside.
She heard that ever since Zhao Wenhua joined the company, she hadn’t stopped.
All the colleagues, when they saw her, treated her like a helper—one mont asking her to warm up a cup of coffee, another asking her to pour a glass of hot water, and another asking her to help organize so docunts.
Even when not working, Zhao Wenhua was still busy, like a spinning top that never stopped.
But she never resisted; whatever others asked her to do, she’d at most say "okay," then obediently follow orders, like a puppet who didn’t know what resistance ant.
Such people are the easiest to manipulate.
Jiangli had heard others call her na, heard her movents at her seat, able to discern where she sat and what her na was.
In this small company, it was easy to find Zhao Wenhua.
Zhao Wenhua seed infuriated by what Jiangli said, her eyes turned red with grievance, her plain face devoid of makeup looked pale and haggard, clearly showing great pressure and an unsatisfactory life.
At this mont, with reddened eyes, she seed to be on the verge of collapse as though greatly wronged.
Xia Xin, seeing this, was a bit worried Zhao Wenhua might flip the table.
However, Zhao Wenhua rely choked up a bit, took a few deep breaths, and hoarsely said: "This place had an accident before, didn’t you know?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Xin felt a bit of heartache.
This person indeed seed easy to bully, yet also very pitiable.
It felt as if she could swallow any grievance silently.
"I just joined the company, isn’t it normal not to know these things?" Jiangli raised an eyebrow.
Zhao Wenhua, looking angry and scared, glanced at her and imdiately lowered her head, softly saying: "It’s said that not long after the building was completed, there was a serious accident. There weren’t many companies in this building back then, most floors were empty, then... for so reason, an accident happened and the elevator fell, with five people inside—all dead."
Jiangli asked, "When did this happen?"
Zhao Wenhua whispered: "About... ten years ago? At that ti, Minghe Plaza had just been completed..."
Jiangli narrowed her eyes slightly, "After that incident, has anything similar happened here again?"
Zhao Wenhua shook her head: "No..."
Xia Xin’s heart leaped, and he speculated quietly from behind Jiangli: "Old ancestor, did soone co to set up a suppression array after that accident, which is why no accidents have happened these years?"
Jiangli touched her chin and shook her head slightly, not denying, but having no definite guess.
Fu Shiyan kept staring at Jiangli, not looking at Zhao Wenhua at all.
Jiangli could feel a gaze fixed on her, but she didn’t respond.
She chose to ignore it, directly looking at Zhao Wenhua, and asked again: "After the first elevator accident, have any other strange things occurred in the building?"
Zhao Wenhua said: "I, I don’t know, I only joined the company five years ago... how could I know if there were any weird things before that?"
Jiangli pressed: "What about in the five years since you joined?"
Zhao Wenhua clenched her hands tightly, "In these five years... there have indeed been so things in this building..."
Xia Xin imdiately asked: "What things?"
Zhao Wenhua said: "I, I heard from the cleaning lady that every ti she finishes cleaning at night and plans to leave, she always hears a woman crying in the building..."
Jiangli raised an eyebrow, "A woman’s cry?"
Zhao Wenhua nodded: "Yes, a woman crying... it’s really frightening..."
She seed a bit scared, hugging her arms with a sowhat terrified expression.
Jiangli stared at her reaction and asked, "Have you heard it yourself?"
