Chapter 385: Is Soone Impersonating?
“He said he won’t cancel the order, produce or pay compensation! The responsibility is on us!”
“Then forget it, let’s just leave it at that!”
“Ayun, I’m so sorry! It seems like this ‘pregnancy brain’ really lasts three years for ! I didn’t even clarify such a simple little detail and caused the company to suffer losses.”
“It’s okay! We just need to adjust the production line. Actually, Gu Yuanzhou once produced children’s clothing for a while, it’s just that he didn’t break into that market.”
“Alright then!”
Because the exhibition wasn’t very effective, we wrapped up and left in a hurry after just one day.
For so reason, I always felt like Ding Yinuo seed to be observing .
Just standing over by his exhibition booth, staring at .
That gaze was deep, incisive.
Looking at the person who used to be closest to , and now slowly becoming a stranger, I actually wanted to confront him and ask for clarity, but in the end, I chose silence.
Forget it!
Although Wenya has been urging to rent another apartnt in the city, I refused.
I still like the feeling of living on Beilu Hill.
I feel like this is where I belong.
On weekends when I don’t have to work, I like to stay here as well.
I moved the lounge chair to the backyard, to the spot near the mountain where a small patch of sunlight could reach.
I would lie there, sunbathing, and sotis I would fall asleep unintentionally and dream of so of the good old tis.
It was another afternoon…
When I woke up, I suddenly found an extra blanket on .
At first, I didn’t think it was strange, but on second thought, sothing wasn’t right.
Because it was sumr, all my blankets were put away in the closet, and I never took them out.
I certainly couldn’t have brought them to the courtyard.
How could this be possible?
My first reaction was to tell that soone had been in my house.
I grabbed the blanket and hurried into the living room.
But there was no one there, in the living room, in the bedroom, in the bathroom, all empty.
Even the breeze was blowing in through the windows, the curtains swaying, and flower petals from the vase scattering all over the floor, it didn’t seem like anyone had been there.
I walked quickly to the door and tried the lock with my hand, it was locked, and it wasn’t opened.
I sat down on the sofa and then called Wenya.
“Uh, I always feel like… there’s soone in my house?”
“I’ve warned you before, that area is too remote; if so pervert sneaked into your house, it wouldn’t be anything unusual.”
“No, Wenya, what I an is… I feel like he’s back!”
“Who’s back?”
I was silent for a while, “It’s Gu Yuanzhou! He’s back!”
“Hiss!!!”
After hearing this, Wenya gasped in shock.
If I had ntioned this na in the past, she would definitely have scolded harshly.
But this ti, she didn’t scold . She just steadied my nerves and then said,
“Dinner’s on tonight!”
“What’s the dinner for this ti?”
“Just co, there’s a surprise!”
Wenya’s cryptic words left a bit puzzled…
She said she was inviting to dinner, but these two ca over in just an hour, and it was only three or four in the afternoon.
“`
After Wenya entered the room, she pointed to the urn on the altar and spoke with a hint of panic.
“Ayun, can you find a cetery and bury him first? Otherwise, look, we’re too scared to co over at night. You know, I was quite afraid of him when he was alive. Now that he’s turned into a ghost, damn it, I get the sense that he’s out to get as soon as I co over, and my neck feels icy cold!”
I actually had a plan in my mind to find a suitable ti to bury Gu Yuanzhou.
But I couldn’t bring myself to make that decision.
Just like what happened during the day, I always had the eerie feeling that it was Gu Yuanzhou’s doing.
Therefore, there was a bit of irrational hope in that made feel, if I didn’t bury his ashes, it would feel like he was always by my side.
“Wenya, let think about it so more. I’ll go to the nunnery in a few days to talk to his aunt.”
“Fine, fine!”
Wenya was really afraid of Gu Yuanzhou.
She didn’t stand in the living room for a few seconds before she hastily escaped.
No matter how much I urged, she refused to co back in.
I cleaned up a bit and got on Su Peisheng’s car.
On the car, the two people were talking, but Su Peisheng stopped talking imdiately when he saw open the car door and get in.
“Uh, I heard it all, it’s okay, just keep talking, it’s about Song Shixiong’s case, right?”
Su Peisheng nodded,
“Yeah! Recently, we’ve received a lot of complaints. The old cases Song Shixiong was involved in… have all been dug up.”
“Oh, what cases?”
“Forced eviction in East River Village leading to the death of a villager. Illegal bribery causing a building to be substandard and collapse. Assisting a young master in sexual assault, making false testimonies to absolve him of the cri, resulting in the victim’s suicide… These cases, originally pointed at Gu Yuanzhou, are now found to be orchestrated by Song Shixiong.”
After listening to Su Peisheng, I just responded with an “Oh.”
When I collected these materials, it was only to prove that Gu Yuanzhou was a bad person. Unexpectedly, even these were done by Song Shixiong.
Wenya asked curiously, “Now that Gu Yuanzhou is gone, who’s helping him seek justice?”
“It could be soone anonymously submitting materials, but, the case is being handled by Zhou Chenming… He’s Gu Yuanzhou’s top lackey.”
Wenya said, “Gu Yuanzhou is no longer here, even if the case is overturned, that lawyer Zhou wouldn’t get paid, right? He’s working for nothing.”
I stared out the car window at the fleeting scenery, lost in deep thought.
If it was Zhou Chenming handling these cases, why wouldn’t he want to ntion Gu Yuanzhou in front of ?
“So what’s the deal with Song Shixiong’s case? When will it be over?”
“Not sure, because there are so many cases involved. Now so many victims’ complaints have been unearthed. I reckon it’s not sothing that can be sorted out quickly; it’ll take so ti!”
The car continued to move forward and soon stopped at the entrance to the hospital.
After getting out of the car, I looked at Wenya, “Why have we co to the hospital?”
Wenya, without hesitation, grabbed my hand and hurried inside, taking straight to Jia Musen’s clinic, “Doctor Jia, please take a look at her. This woman keeps having hallucinations, seeing people who have died.”
Jia Musen seed pleased to see , “Take a seat, sit down! Hallucinations, you say? No worries, I’ll give you an examination!”
“I really don’t have a sickness, oh my God, you guys…”
“Actually, you don’t need to be nervous. It’s very common for many people to have hallucinations of seeing the deceased after losing a loved one. It’s normal, and it can usually be treated with so dication. Really, you shouldn’t avoid seeking help for an illness.”
“I really don’t have an illness!”
“Wait, Ayun, all you need to do is let Doctor Jia examine you. If there’s nothing wrong, I’ll take you away imdiately, without any delay.”
To put Wenya at ease, I went along with Jia Musen’s examination.
After the examination, Jia Musen gave the diagnosis, “Strange, your current condition isn’t depression… Never mind, it’s all right! No dication needed. If you see hallucinations again, co find .”
After walking out of the hospital, Wenya was a bit more relieved, “It’s not like I wanted to make you see a doctor on purpose, but you always seeing Gu Yuanzhou isn’t good either. Since it’s not an illness, then maybe there are ghosts. I think you’d better hold a ritual to help him move on, so he won’t keep haunting you.”
“I’m speechless, what are you even thinking!”
Su Peisheng was more clear-headed, “Ghosts aren’t scary, what’s scary is living people pretending to be ghosts.”
I looked at him quizzically, “What do you an by that?”
“I an, maybe you should install a surveillance cara. Just as a precaution, in case soone is impersonating Gu Yuanzhou!”
“I don’t understand. If soone truly were impersonating him, what would be the point of doing that?”
