Eighties Sweetheart Wife

Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Haven’t you noticed that she’s different from normal people?

Old Master Gu’s expression changed erratically, his hands trembled slightly, yet there was still determination in his eyes.

Yes, people had died, but the truth and justice had not. He had to give an explanation to Murong Feng and Su Miaolian.

Although the result was as such,

it had also given Old Master Gu a goal.

Otherwise, grandpa would certainly owe Murong Feng his life.

But now, there was Su Miaolian.

Gu Jin thought for a moment, then asked, "...So, are we still moving?"

Old Master Gu’s eyes bulged, "I don’t have the thick skin to go back on my word."

Although they were scolded, the three of them couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief in unison.

Regardless of anything, it seemed that the old master was starting to recover.

Next, the investigation would continue.

-----------------

Qu Limei sensed that something was wrong, because Su Miaolian, who was like a pile of rotten meat, was collected by some people, but she was not clear about exactly who they were.

But when Su Miaolian was harmed, it was Shangguan Yunqi who helped her.

Now, Shangguan Yunqi was inside, and after those two had kidnapped Su Miaolian back then, they disappeared without a trace.

She had written a letter of guarantee for Shangguan Yunqi, certifying that she had nothing to do with this matter. She really regretted it now.

Back then, she was too kind-hearted and soft; she should have killed that vile woman to avoid any future problems.

However, she couldn’t speak, nor could she write. She figured she couldn’t come up with anything reasonable, and besides, regarding the affair of those years, she wasn’t worried even back then, let alone thirty years later. Where was the evidence?

There was no proof from the dead.

All had died cleanly; where would one find the evidence.

Unless she spoke out herself.

But she wasn’t senile, how could she possibly speak out?

She prepared the psychotropic incense, handed it to Shangguan Wan, and got back the letter of guarantee. She scrutinized it again and again, making sure there were no mistakes, then set it ablaze, turning it to ash.

She warned Loo Zhiguo to keep his mouth shut, or else, no one would get out unscathed.

She also had something on Loo Zhiguo.

The psychotropic incense had been delivered; it was time to notify Xia Zhi to seek out Song Yunuan.

Xia Zhi’s face was dark with anger, wishing he could kill these two people.

He went to Shangguan Wan’s house and pointed at her, cursing, "You ungrateful wretch, there’s not a single good person in your Shangguan family. I came to visit you with good intentions, yet you helped others to plot against me. Shangguan Wan, I’m telling you, if I’m pushed to the brink, I’ll take you down with me."

Shangguan Wan cried fiercely, "Why are you cursing at me like this? What does this have to do with me? I didn’t feed you anything. It’s all your hallucination. Didn’t you also go to the hospital for a check-up? What did they find?

Second Aunt Zhang said you have hysteria; then it’s hysteria.

There’s something I haven’t told you yet, actually, you and your siblings are all living on borrowed time. Only because some elements changed, the danger is still present. This hysteria is just the beginning.

Second Aunt Zhang wants to treat your illness, and she needs to make many sacrifices.

Song Yunuan is a very strange person, haven’t you noticed she’s not like normal people?

How does she know many things that even the parties involved don’t? And if it weren’t for her, your aunt wouldn’t have gone to prison. Your family wouldn’t have turned out this way either.

Besides, we didn’t intend to harm her, we just wanted to ask her a few questions, and we guarantee it won’t implicate you in the slightest.

This is also the rule in Xuanmen from Second Aunt. One deed repays another; isn’t my promise enough?"

Xia Zhi’s hands were trembling.

He felt that thing again, moving all over his body.

Sweat formed on his forehead and his back as well.

The sweater he was wearing seemed as though it had been soaked through.

That feeling was truly worse than death.

Suddenly, Xia Zhi pressed a spot on his wrist and said viciously to Shangguan Wan, "I have something here, a bug that runs amok. Dare you touch it?"

Little Nuan was terrified and stood by, trembling all over with tears streaming down her face.

Shangguan Wan had no hesitation and stepped forward.

She pressed her hand onto the spot Xia Zhi pointed to, and the little bugs roaming around just happened to fit into her palm: "Look, there’s nothing, absolutely nothing!"

Xia Zhi scrutinized Shangguan Wan’s expression and realized she seemed completely unaware, not like she was lying.

Could it really just be his illusion?

But why on earth would it ask him to go find Song Yunuan?

Xia Zhi’s gaze darkened as he stared intently at these two people.

After a long moment, enduring the creepy sensation of the bugs roaming everywhere, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I will go find Song Yunuan right now and bring her to you. And you must break my illusion."

Second Aunt Zhang softened her expression.

Speaking to him gently, she said, "Don’t worry, as long as you bring the girl, I guarantee to perform a ritual to shatter your illusion.

It’s truly just to ask her some questions. She is now at the Wutong District; if you go there, you will be able to see her."

It wasn’t that it had to be Xia Zhi, Second Aunt Zhang wouldn’t say.

But she had cast a divination for herself a while ago.

To see Song Yunuan and obtain what she wanted, it indeed had to be Xia Zhi who made the approach.

Because the divination showed that only Xia Zhi could bring Song Yunuan to her.

Although she did not know why, she had to follow what the divination indicated.

At this moment, Second Aunt Zhang also was curious as to how Xia Zhi could possibly trick that sharp and cunning dead girl, Song Yunuan, to come over.

Xia Zhi actually saw Song Yunuan right at the entrance of the Wutong District.

She was playing jump rope with a group of children at the gate of the district.

Xia Zhi was a bit nervous.

Then he said to Song Yunuan that he had some words to speak with her alone.

Song Yunuan looked at Xia Zhi in surprise, but she did not send him away; instead, she took him to Second Grandpa’s house.

When it was just the two of them, Xia Zhi looked at Song Yunuan’s relaxed expression, thought of her impressive achievements, and suddenly his mind exploded.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead, voice trembling as he pleaded with Song Yunuan, "Little Nuan, can you save me?"

This indeed gave Song Yunuan a start.

Blinking her eyes, she asked, "Where is this coming from?"

Xia Zhi, pale-faced, watched the bug that had just crawled down from his shoulder under the skin of his wrist, puzzled as to why the bug would roam around even when others were present.

He grabbed his own wrist tightly, showing Song Yunuan the back of his hand with an obvious shake in his voice, "You... you see... is there a worm crawling under the skin on my hand back, or inside the vein?"

Song Yunuan examined his demeanor carefully and then looked at Xia Zhi’s calm hand back, asking curiously, "Where is it?"

"Above my thumb, does it appear to be bulging?"

Song Yunuan’s eyes roved around: "Have you been to the hospital for a check-up?"

"I’ve been checked, and there’s nothing there. I even took anti-parasitic medicine, to no avail. Second Aunt Zhang said it’s an illusion. It’s... it’s moving again... ah..."

Xia Zhi let out a trembling cry of alarm.

Song Yunuan narrowed her eyes, however.

Second Aunt Zhang?

Xia Zhi didn’t care anymore, speaking hurriedly, "Little Nuan, I’m not a good person, but after you took care of me once, I really don’t dare to mess with you. My father and my sister also won’t let me provoke you.

But that Second Aunt Zhang told me to trick you into the house where she and Shangguan Wan are staying; she said they just want to ask some questions and promised they won’t hurt you.

I don’t believe her, and Shangguan Wan isn’t a good person either. If I really trick you over there, you might end up killing me.

I thought it over and decided to tell you the truth.

I won’t trick you into going there, and you shouldn’t go either. They are up to no good.

But I really am afflicted. Little Nuan, you’re so powerful... can you help me get rid of this illusion?"

Song Yunuan was indeed taken aback, but she blinked her eyes and said in a soft voice, "It’s not an illusion. Right where you pointed, there really is a worm moving back and forth under your skin."

Xia Zhi felt everything go black before his eyes and collapsed to the ground, completely drained of strength...
