Chapter 1089 The Bewitched Person

Thanks to her father's memories, Ye Wanxi was able to relive the scene of her car accident in person, a rare opportunity.

The difference is that back then she was the one who was hit, but in this memory, the one she can empathize with is the one who hit her.

The accident occurred near a traffic light. In addition, Mr. He was already nervous and scared. Even though the voice repeatedly assured him that the person who was hit would not die, he was still very uneasy. Therefore, the car was not going particularly fast when it hit Ye Wanxi.

However, he was driving a truck, such a big vehicle. When it hits a person with flesh and blood, no matter how slow the speed, the person is still thrown into the air.

Upon seeing the blood spreading beneath the person who had been hit not far away, Mr. He was as if he had been pulled out of the water. He was covered in sweat, his hands were trembling uncontrollably, his heart was pounding, and his face was ashen.

All the surrounding sounds seemed to fade away at that moment, and his eyes could only see the figure lying on the ground.

Guilt and fear almost overwhelmed him in that instant, until the horn sounded again and again, and Mr. He finally came to his senses, his eyes red as he slammed his fist on the steering wheel.

What happened next was no surprise. Knowing that he only had one month to live, Mr. He began to work even harder than before, and even bought several insurance policies to leave more money for his daughter to protect her.

However, considering his profession and physical condition, only three contracts were ultimately signed.

Even with only these three payments, He Shunan still received a considerable amount of compensation after his death. As long as she didn't squander it, it would be enough for her to live comfortably for the next ten or twenty years.

It took Ye Wanxi a dozen seconds to process He's father's memories. When He Shunan found incense on the table and lit it, turning to look at the two of them, Ye Wanxi had already gotten the answer she wanted.

She didn't notice anything amiss, only gave the two of them a slightly complicated look before handing the incense sticks in her hand to Ye Wanxi and the other person.

Feng Tianyu did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Ye Wanxi.

Seeing this, Ye Wanxi took it and then shared some with the people around her.

After the three of them lit incense for Mr. He, they left the ancestral hall. After this experience, He Shunan's feelings towards the two of them became more and more complicated, but at least he was not as repulsed as before.

Even when the two were about to leave, he awkwardly added, "It's getting late, why don't you have dinner before you go?"

Her question startled both Ye Wanxi and He Shunan, who also felt a little regretful. The atmosphere among them suddenly became subtle.

Fortunately, Ye Wanxi only hesitated for a moment before politely declining with a smile: "No, we have something to do later and need to go back first."

Hearing this, He Shunan breathed a sigh of relief, but was also somewhat disappointed: "Then I won't keep you any longer."

"Okay, take care." Ye Wanxi politely said goodbye to her, then pulled Feng Tianyu away.

After taking only a few steps forward, he heard He Shunan's voice again from behind: "Wait."

Ye Wanxi turned to look at her in confusion: "Miss He, is there anything else?"

He Shunan pursed his lips, lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, "My dad has never harmed anyone in his life, nor has he ever thought of hurting anyone. You are the only one. During that time, I was not in good health, and he was busy making money, so we didn't have many opportunities to meet. Although he didn't say it, I know that he felt very guilty about hitting you."

"You're willing to come see him today and personally offer him incense; if he knew this in the afterlife, he would surely be very happy. So..."

He Shunan paused suddenly, then bowed in their direction: "Thank you."

Ye Wanxi looked at her slender figure hidden behind the small courtyard, and after a long silence, she whispered, "You're too kind."

After leaving Hejia Village, the two returned to City A as quickly as possible.

Feng Tianyu remained silent throughout, until the two returned home, at which point he couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you tell her?"

Feng Tianyu was referring to the matter of He's father exchanging his lifespan for He Shun'an's.

The person who received Father He's memories just now was Ye Wanxi, but Feng Tianyu held Ye Wanxi's hand the whole time. Although he didn't see as much as Ye Wanxi, or see it as clearly, he saw most of what he was supposed to see and heard quite a bit.

"Sometimes knowing too much isn't necessarily a good thing. There's a saying that goes, 'It's good to be a little confused in life.'"

Ye Wanxi paused for a moment, then pondered, "Shun'an, Shun'an, I think Mr. He named his daughter this way because he hoped she would have a smooth and peaceful life. If she knew that her life was bought with her father's life, it would be a huge burden on her heart for the rest of her life, making her live with the weight of a life lost. That's not what Mr. He wants to see."

Feng Tianyu frowned but didn't say anything. However, judging from his expression, he clearly did not agree with Ye Wanxi's statement.

Ye Wanxi knew what he was struggling with, and smiled gently, "This might sound a bit like being a saint, but in my opinion, Miss He is indeed innocent in this matter. She didn't know anything. Although she benefited, she also paid a price for it."

"As for Mr. He, although I can't forgive what he did, I don't hate him either. If it weren't him, it would have been someone else, and given the circumstances at the time, I couldn't escape this calamity."

Upon hearing this, Feng Tianyu's face darkened even further. He knew all along what Ye Wanxi was saying.

He immediately muttered through gritted teeth, "That guy..."

That's right, not only Ye Wanxi, but he also realized that the person who secretly instigated He's father to hit Ye Wanxi was none other than Wu, who had been hiding in the shadows all along.

Ye Wanxi sighed: "If it really is him, then the wild ghost that entered my body might really have been brought by him."

Unexpected, yet perfectly logical.

She didn't want her to have a good life, but she also couldn't let her die like that. Ye Wanxi had already guessed what was going on from the beginning.

But even though it's just speculation, once it's confirmed, there's still a bit of unease in my heart.

Feng Tianyu remained silent, but in his heart he was already planning that the next time they met, he would crush that guy's heart and not give him another chance to escape.

As the two were talking, Ye Wanxi's phone suddenly rang.

The sudden ringing of a cell phone interrupted their thoughts. Ye Wanxi looked down and discovered that the caller was the orphanage.

Ye Wanxi's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding suddenly arose within her.

She quickly answered the phone, and as soon as she put it to her ear, she heard Aunt Meng's panicked voice: "Wanxi, Zhuangzhuang is missing!"
