Looking at the dozen missed calls on the phone, all of which were from Ah Wei, I was still sleepy. I continued to fiddle with my phone and opened WeChat. It was full of Ah Wei's messages. I clicked on them one by one and almost scared me to death!
"Hey! Where did you go! Hurry up and come over. I have something to do!”
She could feel Ah Wei's murderous aura through the phone! They had just formed an alliance yesterday, and today was already like this. After signing the contract, they were going to turn hostile and not recognize him anymore, right? Where did that Ah Wei who was flirting with girls yesterday go?
I tapped on Ah Wei's number. There was a beeping sound on the other end of the phone. No one picked up. I threw the phone back to the bed in a bad mood.
"You're in such a hurry and you're saying that something happened. You didn't pick up your calls. Don't let me know that you're still sleeping! Otherwise, I'll punish you in the name of the Alliance Master!”
After venting on the phone, she looked at her bedside watch. It was only 6:40, so it was still early to go to work. Since she was already up, she went to wash up and buy some breakfast. It had been a long time since she had a serious meal!
The door of Wei Wei's room was tightly shut. She should still be sleeping. I quietly walked out of the room and entered the bathroom. After quickly washing up, I changed into light clothes and went out. The morning air was so good! Although the temperature was already very low, there were still many people doing morning exercises on the street. Looking at the laughter and joy, he felt that the tension he had felt during this period of time had all been resolved!
When I arrived at the familiar entrance of the small shop, it was already packed with people eating breakfast. I was queuing up to buy buns when I heard two aunties chatting enthusiastically behind me. I originally didn't have the mood to listen to other people's gossip, but their conversation attracted my attention." Hey! Did you know? Yesterday, a body was lost at the city hospital!"
One of the aunties in flowery clothes said mysteriously. Although she had lowered her voice, I could still hear her clearly from the front.
"Hurry up and tell me what happened!"
Gossip was a woman's nature, especially for retired aunties like them. They liked to gossip about anything new. A lot of gossip and rumors came from their mouths and eventually became supernatural stories.
"My niece is a nurse at the city hospital and lives in the building opposite my house. She came back from her night shift this morning and happened to see me. I saw that the girl was out of her mind, so I asked a few more questions. In the end, she told me that a body was lost in the morgue when she was on duty last night! Their management had always been very strict. The old man guarding the door was telling the truth. He had not slept for the entire night, and he only had one key to his room. He had not touched the nest at all! But there was no corpse! Don't you think it's strange? Now that they had blocked the news, they were afraid that the family members would cause a ruckus and blow up the matter!”
Looking at the auntie in flowery clothes who was lying, I couldn't help but ask,
"Auntie, is what you said true? Throwing a corpse was a big deal! It's not easy to say!"
When she heard the questioning voice, the lady in the floral dress rolled her eyes at me and said unhappily," How can you say that? I'm already so old, and you can still speak nonsense! My niece works there and heard that old man tell them with her own ears! When he said that he was going to throw the corpse, he even encountered a gust of cold wind. Why would there be wind in the house? It was really strange! Let me see! It must be a zombie! Sigh, that's true. She's so young and gone just like that. She must be unwilling! He must have gone to find the person who killed him!”
The more I spoke, the more bizarre it became. Seeing that this auntie was not afraid of things getting out of hand, I continued to ask in order to clarify more." Who was the body that was lost? Young man? Or was he killed? What's going on, Auntie?"
Hearing my question, the auntie acted like she finally had an audience and began to talk non-stop." It's the little boy who died in the school a few days ago! The police said that it was an accidental death, but in the end, they didn't give anyone a chance to say anything! What could happen to such a young child in school? I think he was killed! He might even be a human trafficker! Human traffickers are so rampant these days. A few days ago, I was carrying my grandson in the square and heard that someone had lost a child here! Let me tell you, you have to be careful!”
As they talked, the aunties turned to the topic of looking after the children and no longer paid attention to me. I looked at them and probably couldn't get anything out of them. I bought a few buns and turned around to walk back, thinking to myself.
"The dead boy, because the police had already concluded that it was an accidental death, was temporarily stopped in the morgue of the city hospital, waiting for the family to handle the post-mortem procedures. It has only been one night and his body has been lost. Could it be!"
Thinking of this, I was shocked! She took out her phone and dialed Ah Wei's number again. This time, the call went through very quickly." Hello, Honey, I was wondering where you went. I couldn't find you. I'm so tired!”
"Who's your wife? Don't talk nonsense!"
"Don't worry, it'll happen sooner or later!"
After being teased by Ah Wei, I was speechless for a moment and forgot what I wanted to say." Stop fooling around. Let's get down to business. The child's body is missing!”
I said very seriously, but I didn't expect the other party to answer like this," I know! I stole it! He was lying in Sidi Bookstore right now!”
I cried out in shock.
"What?!"
On the other end, Ah Wei was obviously frightened by me. His voice was far away from the receiver as he said," Hey, don't make such a fuss, okay?! Last night, I wanted to go with you, but you refused to pick up the phone. That bad woman, Sidi, also refused to go with me, so I had to go alone! You don't know that this person has lost his soul! It was dead heavy! That little fatty exhausted me! It was so difficult for me to hide from the old man guarding the door and go in to carry that damned child out! If he was caught! I'm covered in mouths, I can't even explain myself!”
Ah Wei was still complaining over the phone!
"Why did you steal the corpse!"
Seeing that my scream had attracted a lot of attention, I quickly lowered my voice and asked," I can't explain it to you in a short time. Where are you now? Hurry up, there's something I need you to do!”
"I don't have time. I need to go to work! Do you think it's you! Why don't you help me apply for an alliance salary or something? I'll immediately resign!”
You only know how to order me around all day! At least I'm the leader and the boss!
"Alright, alright! Then come over after work. I'll cook for you and wait for you! Give me a kiss!"
Ah Wei probably knew that I would scold him back, so he hung up the phone before me. I smiled and shook my head. I suddenly realized that after all these things, I couldn't be angry with him anymore.
"Cook for me, don't poison me to death!
As she thought about this, a warm feeling rose in her heart.
When I got home, Weiwei had already woken up and was washing her face and brushing her teeth. When she saw me coming back, she was still holding a bun in her hand. She pounced on me." Darling, you're the best! Muah!"
He snatched the bun from my hand and started eating it in big mouthfuls. I smiled at him and walked into the kitchen to get a glass of milk. I heated it up in the microwave and drank it while asking Weiwei," How's the boy in your school?" Where was his brother? Did you find it?"
With a big bun in her mouth, Wei Wei said in confusion," Yesterday, I saw them discussing in the group, but there was no result. But it's strange. That child transferred to school three years ago, but his brother has only been here for less than a month. According to his mother, it's because his brother got sick and has been resting in his hometown. He only recently came to our school to study with his brother, so no one knows much about that brother. We haven't found him yet. We don't know where he went."”
"Then do any of your classmates know where that child likes to go?”
" I asked. It's a child's nature to easily integrate into a group and make new friends. Although the child has only been here for less than a month, he should have a few classmates to chat with.
Hearing my question, Weiwei shook her head and said,"No, that child is quite independent. I even taught his class once and asked that child to answer questions. He stood up and didn't say anything. He just stood there. It's quite strange. His brother is the opposite. He's good at studying and is also an active member of the school.”
After Weiwei finished eating the buns, she took her bag and was about to leave. She turned around and said to me," I'm leaving. I have to bring the children to self-study today. I'm leaving!" Come back early tonight!"
Before I could say goodbye, Weiwei left in a hurry. I sat on the sofa and finished her remaining buns. I also prepared something and changed into my work suit before going out. As I came out early today, there were not many people on the subway. I found a seat in the corner and stood by the side. This was my habit. From this seat, I could see the people in the car when there were not many people. I could see all kinds of people doing their own things. It was also a very interesting thing.
I was lost in my thoughts when I suddenly sensed a familiar scent. It was the sweet scent from the last time in Sidi's bookstore. Right, Sidi called it The Fool's Fragrance. I searched for it carefully. Although I could smell it, it wasn't as strong as the scent I smelled from Sidi. It just flashed by and disappeared. I remembered Sidi's words that different scents could help me distinguish some things and some people. I suddenly remembered the crystal spirit pendulum that Sidi gave me. I followed Si Di's instructions and kept it with me. I imitated the way Si Di held the spirit pendulum that day. There were very few people in the car, and most of them were either sleeping or looking down at their phones. No one noticed my movements. I slowly searched for that smell again. Although it was very faint, I still caught it. It was the girl sitting closest to me. I slowly walked over and pretended to change my position. I leaned diagonally against the girl. The girl was looking down at her phone seriously and scrolling through her WeChat Moments. She didn't notice that I was approaching her. I slowly lowered the spirit pendulum and watched as the small crystal pendant began to move slowly. It was getting faster and faster. The closer it got to the girl, the bigger the movement. I immediately grabbed the spirit pendulum back into my hand and thought,
"There must be something wrong with this girl!”
He stole a glance at the tag on the girl's neck. It should be the access card of the office. On it was written," employee number A303, Aili ". Then he looked at the company name," Tiansheng International "!
Isn't that the name of the luxurious building opposite us?
I was surprised and remembered what Ah Wei said to me in the cafe that day." The Cheng family members have the ability to control the soul to live forever!”
Could it be that the dark forces referred to them? Ah Wei said that if the three families formed an alliance, then the Cheng family should be allies. Cheng Tiansheng was a famous entrepreneur who had participated in many big projects in the city and could often be seen on television. He was also a great philanthropist who had given his life. After his son Cheng Yang returned from abroad, he showed his extraordinary talent. In just a few years, he had become an independent family in Tiansheng Group. How could such a family have anything to do with the devil who stole people's names?
As she thought about it, the bus was about to stop. The girl stood up and got off in a hurry. I followed her, but because our company was separated by a road, she went in the opposite direction. Looking at his receding figure, my heart was filled with doubts. If it was really as Ah Wei said, the person who was going against the Cheng family, could we really do it alone?
After a busy day, the clock pointed to 5 o'clock. I was about to pack my things and leave when the manager came over and clapped his hands to announce a piece of exciting news to everyone! Because of everyone's hard work, our company has won the big project that the boss said. We can take a good rest for the time being, and everyone can get a big red packet! It was too wonderful!
After the manager finished his announcement, he walked over to me and said," Xuanyi, this project needs some external communication. We just need to send some information and help coordinate the time. It's not a big deal, so I'll have to trouble you. Look at us, we're either aunties or old men. After looking at it, you're the only suitable young lady!”
The manager seemed to be asking me for help, but he was actually assigning tasks. I quickly answered," It's all work. I'll do a good job, manager. Don't worry!”
It's not bad to have external contacts. In the future, I don't have to come to the company every day to clock in. I have a lot more freedom. I looked at the thick documents in my hand. On it was printed,"Tiansheng Corporation". The corners of my mouth curled up slightly."Cheng family, I have plenty of opportunities to understand everything in the future!"”#
