Chapter 643 [(*^▽^*)]

They had just seen a news report from ten minutes ago about two people fighting and getting injured, not far from the shopping mall.

In the end, both of them died from injuries sustained in the attack, not from the rules. So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, they might both return as evil spirits.

So how does one seek revenge? Is it to find the evil spirit that the other party has transformed into? If two evil spirits fight, who is stronger?

Lin Leyou located Jiang Changdong's position again and found that he was still in the same residential building. Xue Rui's house was thoroughly checked inside and out, including the ventilation and drainage pipes, but there was no one there.

Of course, it's possible that the other party used props to hide themselves, staying in Xue Rui's house and waiting for them to come to them. Lin Leyou himself was a little worried that there might be some props hidden in the house, which they could activate and kill once they went in.

The two of them sat there for two hours, which wasn't a very long time, since the old men next door were constantly playing chess and the players would change from time to time.

Just then, a woman walked towards them.

Lin Leyou wasn't worried about being ambushed at all. He had already put his gold-plated defensive gear on him, and Xue Rui was so close that the protective shield would definitely protect him when it appeared.

"You two young men, do you have some time?"

Lin Leyou looked up from his phone and glanced at her. She was a woman in her forties, very well-maintained, and looked like she was under thirty.

"What's up?"

The woman was a little embarrassed. "I bought a lot of things and wanted to carry them upstairs, but I didn't expect I wouldn't have the strength. I wonder if you could help me out?"

Lin Leyou: "Isn't there an elevator?"

The woman said, "She just helped me carry it to the elevator."

Xue Rui grabbed Lin Leyou's hand and said, "If you can't carry it, just carry it over in several trips. It's very simple. Why bother asking us for help? We're busy."

After saying that, he continued to show Lin Leyou the real-time news updates on his phone, as well as some forums and online communities. Although these were not official, they were incredibly fast at updating!

If something happens somewhere, someone will take photos and videos on the spot, upload them, and start telling the story of what happened. Although it's not a formal process, the speed at which they obtain intelligence information is much faster than the official process.

Moreover, they don't report many things that are considered minor by the authorities.

The woman probably hadn't expected Xue Rui to be so rude. She was a little embarrassed. "No... I'm sorry, I just twisted my ankle a little while I was shopping in high heels earlier, so I asked someone for help."

Lin Leyou and Xue Rui realized that this woman was after them.

"In that case, we'll help you out a little, okay? We can just carry it to the elevator, right?"

The woman nodded. "Yes, that's fine, thank you."

The two followed her to a car. Looking at the trunk full of things, they both fell silent for a while, and the woman seemed a little embarrassed.

"Um... thank you so much for your help."

Lin Leyou nodded nonchalantly, "It's nothing, it's just..."

The woman looked at him. "What?"

Lin Leyou's gaze fell on her feet. "Didn't you say you sprained your ankle? Why are you still walking in high heels? You're walking quite steadily, it doesn't look like you sprained your ankle."

The woman paused slightly, then took two steps back somewhat awkwardly. "No, it looks fine, but it still hurts when I put pressure on it. I'm not changing my shoes because I don't have any other shoes to wear right now."

Lin Leyou suddenly blurted out, "So you drive in high heels?"

The woman opened her mouth as if to say something, but she had just said that she hadn't changed her shoes. If she denied it now, would she be driving barefoot?

She looked a little awkward. "Well... I didn't have time to take it when I left home. Okay, young man, don't ask anymore. Just help me put my things upstairs."

Lin Leyou and Xue Rui remained standing behind the car, showing no sign of reaching for anything.

He looked around, especially at the residential building next door. Jiang Changdong was inside, but he didn't know where he was hiding. Did this woman who had appeared now have anything to do with Jiang Changdong?

To say there was no connection, and that they simply happened to be passing by and noticed the two young boys playing on their phones under the shade of a tree, is something even they themselves don't believe.

Lin Leyou suddenly laughed, "Auntie, can you only wear high heels?"

The woman stared at Lin Leyou with wide eyes, then smiled and said, "Young man, what are you saying? I wear slippers at home."

Lin Leyou blinked. "Huh? Auntie, what are you explaining to me? I was just saying it casually."

The woman's expression was somewhat off, but she tried her best to maintain a calm demeanor. However, her slightly trembling eyes betrayed her. If nothing unexpected happened, one of her personal rules for dying was that she could only wear high heels.

Of course, there might be an exception, which is... that this woman is faking it.

Lin Leyou said, "Oh dear, Auntie, you're sweating. Should we take you home to rest? It must hurt a lot to wear high heels after spraining your ankle, right? And you still have to walk..."

She quickly waved her hand, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine now. Please help me take my things upstairs so I can go home and rest. Thank you so much!"

Stop wasting time.

"It'll be almost noon soon, let me cook you lunch and treat you to a meal."

Lin Leyou looked innocent. "Auntie, have you forgotten that as an adult, you can't eat food given by strangers?"

These past few days, he's been extremely careful when he eats with Xue Rui. No matter what the food is, they either pay for it together so they can eat together, or they eat separately and never mix it together.

The woman was taken aback when she heard what he said, as if she had just remembered the fifth rule: you can't eat food given to you by others. She seemed quite relieved.

Lin Leyou made a subtle gesture of looking to the side, and Xue Rui immediately understood and stepped in front of him to completely block the woman's view. Lin Leyou then took out a prop from behind him and repositioned himself.

The location was still Jiang Changdong in the residential building, and this distant position had not moved at all. In other words, he had been in the same place since just now, and perhaps even maintained the same posture.

Lin Leyou quickly put away his props. It was strange; if he was hiding inside the residential building, why wasn't he moving? Unless he wasn't inside, but outside.

They can't see him simply because he's invisible. If he wants to leave, he needs to move, and moving might break his invisibility, making him visible to those who are always outside.

So the woman's plan was to lure them inside the building so they couldn't see outside, giving Jiang Changdong a chance to escape without being discovered.

So here's the question: what's the relationship between this woman and Jiang Changdong? They look to be about the same age, could they be husband and wife?

The woman said, "I'm so sorry, I was confused. I misspoke. I'm so sorry..."

She then asked, somewhat embarrassed, "Can you help me now? I need to go home and cook later."

Lin Leyou blinked. "I'm a little tired, so I won't help you. Honey, please help this auntie instead."

Xue Rui agreed without hesitation, "No problem."

He then reached into the trunk and took things out. Both his hands were full of things, and the trunk was now a third empty.

He picked up his things, turned around, and walked into the building. The woman ignored Xue Rui and looked at Lin Leyou. She noticed that Lin Leyou was just standing there, showing no intention of making a move.

She was probably about to say something when Lin Leyou interrupted her without any politeness, "By the way, Auntie, we've been chatting for so long, and I still don't know your name."

The woman let out a long sigh, "Me...I..."

She reached out and wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead, looking anxious, but it was unclear what she was anxious about.

After waiting for a while, Xue Rui came out of the residential building without saying hello. He took things directly from the trunk, taking about a third of them this time, which meant that the woman didn't have much time left.

Lin Leyou noticed that the woman looked anxious as she watched Xue Rui's retreating figure, and asked again, "Auntie, why don't you say anything? Is it inconvenient for you to say?"

The woman snapped back to reality. "Huh? What... Oh, I'm Qiu Bai..."

Lin Leyou, "Huh? Qiu Bai?"

The woman seemed to realize something, and her whole body trembled. Then she said, "Autumn in autumn, white in white."

Lin Leyou smiled and nodded, "So it's Aunt Qiu Bai. Okay, I understand. By the way... Auntie, did you live here before? I've never seen you here before."

At this moment, Xue Rui came out again. His arrival attracted all the women's attention. This was the third time! Wasn't this the last time? No! She had to think of a solution quickly.

So Lin Leyou was left aside once again, but this time Xue Rui didn't take all the remaining items. Instead, he deliberately left one item behind, as if he couldn't carry it all. But Lin Leyou could tell at a glance that he had left it on purpose to keep the woman from exploding.

Lin Leyou actually knew who Qiu Bai was the moment she uttered those two words.

Jiang Changdong's wife, and the mother of Jiang Xiaming and Jiang Xiayue, is a woman named Qiu Baiyu.

It was this woman who, together with her husband Jiang Changdong, bribed Zhou Wanwan, a clerical worker at the Bureau of Public Order, to leak her information to Jiang Changdong, almost causing him to be stabbed to death by Jiang Changdong outside the amusement park gate.

He had never met Qiu Baiyu, but he remembered the woman's name very clearly. Lin Leyou told Xue Rui about the woman's identity through the black jade ring.

Xue Rui: "Wait."
