Chapter 27

In the morning, Feifei came back with breakfast and vegetables and fruits from the market. She glanced at the people at home and found that they were all still asleep.

She put breakfast on the table, took out a few apples and went to the kitchen to wash them.

The chatter of the old men and women in the community outside the window drifted into the room. Gu Yuan woke up in a daze, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a face very close to him.

She reached out and gently touched Lin An's forehead, eyes, and finally his soft lips.

Lin An said, "Is it fun?"

Gu Yuan smiled: "Sister An, are you awake?"

"Yeah." She looked at Gu Yuan and continued to ask: "Is my face like plasticine? I like to play with it."

Gu Yuan: "My hands are itchy, just pinch them."

Lin An raised his hand and ruffled her hair, causing Gu Yuan to stiffen slightly. She shrank back and retreated to the bedside: "Get up quickly, Sister An."

Lin An looked at her and said gently, "There should be breakfast on the table, go and have it."

Gu Yuan: "Okay, you should get up quickly too."

Gu Yuan and Du Jiajia were eating breakfast at the dining table. Lin An took a brush and wrote six big words "Shen Chenzhou" and "Shen Weiwei" on the paper.

Du Jiajia bit half a fried dough stick and ate while walking. When she came to Lin An and looked at these words, she suddenly said, “I know Shen Weiwei.”

Lin An: "Do you know him?"

Du Jiajia nodded: "I met her when I was a child. She lived over there with us. She liked us kids and often gave us food."

“But my mother scolded me when she saw me and wouldn’t let me eat the food she gave me.”

Lin An: "Do you know why?"

Feifei came out of the kitchen and asked, "Sir, isn't it recorded in the files?"

“There are only some clips. He deleted some parts, so it’s not very coherent.”

Lin An's lips curled up into a faint smile. He'd deleted it, but he didn't want to delete it all. The remaining parts were fragmented, didn't they feel awkward? What did he regard the files as? Was it their testimony? Did he still flip through them from time to time?

Feifei: "The contents of the file... can be deleted?"

"Sure." Lin An glanced at Feifei and smiled slightly, saying, "As long as you have enough strength, it's fine."

The teasing intention is obvious.

“…”

Feifei called out, "Sir."

Du Jiajia said: “My mother might know more, she used to be with Shen Weiwei.”

"Can you go back and ask?"

"I'll go back later."

Du Jiajia stayed at home for the whole morning and finally let her mother loose. A few hours later, she came back with Shen Weiwei’s past.

Du Jiajia: "This sister has a rich life experience. When she was young, she worked in a hair salon and was an 'alternative' streetwalker."

"I don't know how she became a good woman later on, but most people say she didn't become a good woman, she was kept by someone."

"But she got married not long after that. Her first husband was a small business owner at the time, but they divorced after only a month."

"The sisters at the salon all thought she would have a miserable life and tried to persuade her to come back, but she ended up arguing with them, and a few of them got angry and severed ties with her."

"She had a hard time after that, but her relationship with her neighbors improved a lot. When she walked on the street, neighbors would come up to her and say hello."

"After a period of hardship, she was spotted by Grandma Li's youngest son. They got married and opened a small shop. Their business became increasingly prosperous, and they gradually accumulated a considerable fortune."

"When Grandma Li talks about her, she smiles from ear to ear. Every time she chats with my mom and others, she says she is the lucky star of the family.

"After a few years, their family became better off and moved to the coast. They bought several houses there. The elderly and children moved there and sold the rooms in their hometown at a low price."

Feifei: "So lucky? Do you know their current address?"

Du Jiajia shook her head. "I don't know. They lost contact after they moved away. My mom and Grandma Li used to talk together, but after they moved, they can't be together anymore."

Lin An raised his hand and pressed his forehead. Feifei: "Sir, what's wrong with you?"

"Isn't it difficult to do it now that you already know the person's name?"

Feifei was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "I'm sorry, I didn't react for a moment."

Gu Yuan asked, "What's wrong?"

Feifei sighed and shook her head: "Nothing, nothing."

Gu Yuan: “…”

Feifei closed her eyes, and the grass and trees outside the window seemed to be awakened, flowing with a layer of faint light invisible to humans. The light flickered, silently responding to her questions, and expanded in circles.

After a while, she opened her eyes. Lin An: "Where?"

Feifei: "Anshun."

Du Jiajia: "It's near the sea."

Feifei asked again: "Are you really going?"

Du Jiajia: "Don't leave me."

"I didn't say I was going to leave you behind. Go change your clothes." Feifei turned around and said, "Gu Yuan, now that you've finished eating, go change your clothes too."

Gu Yuan nodded, and the two of them changed their clothes. Du Jiajia even came out dragging a suitcase.

Feifei: "Do you think this is a trip?"

Du Jiajia: "I'm not like you guys. I can't just wave my hands and my clothes will become clean and change their appearance. I have to bring a few more clothes with me."

Feifei: "Whatever you want."

Du Jiajia: "Then how are we going to get there? Plane, high-speed rail, or train? I'll buy tickets for everyone."

Feifei: "Don't bother."

A silver-white halo slowly spread out, and when the light faded, several people had teleported into a forest.

Du Jiajia frantically grabbed the handle of her suitcase and tripped, falling backwards. Feifei quickly caught her, frowning and complaining, "Why don't you find a flat surface?"

"This place is remote and deserted, so there's no need to waste effort erasing the witnesses' memories."

"I'd rather go through the trouble of this."

"The residential area you built is full of high-rise buildings. It would be very troublesome and a waste of time to move it to a busy place." Feifei said, picking up her suitcase.

Du Jiajia: "Thank you."

Feifei: “No need.”

They walked through the grove. Lin An, who was walking in front, glanced at the surveillance cameras on the side of the road and looked ahead. A silver-white light flashed in her eyes, and all the surveillance screens in the area went black in an instant.

They walked along the sidewalk for a long time, and Du Jiajia's feet felt a little sore. She couldn't help but ask, "Aren't we there yet?"

"Almost." Feifei looked at her and asked, "Are you tired?"

Du Jiajia hummed. Feifei said, "If you don't exercise all day, and the only exercise you get is going to the supermarket, your physical fitness will only continue to decline."

Du Jiajia: "I don't have time to exercise. How can I have the time? In order to stay with you all the time, I can only study all the time. I study in my free time."

After walking for about ten minutes, the destination community finally appeared in front of us. The gatehouse of the community was very grand, and several security guards were guarding the door, as if to stop deliverymen.

They didn't go in directly. Du Jiajia was so tired that she sat down on the curb. Gu Yuan sat next to her. Lin An leaned against the tree trunk. Feifei watched the people coming in and out of the community.

After a while, Du Jiajia saw one of the people entering the community and said, "It seems to be her."

Feifei: "Sir, if I'm not mistaken, that woman is cursed. It's just that the curse is very strange, layered, and I can't see it clearly."

Lin An raised the corner of his lips: "It's a very strange curse, but we found the right person."

Du Jiajia stood up and walked to the security guard. Gu Yuan and the others followed her and they all came to the gate of the community.

Du Jiajia: "Uncle, do you know the woman in the white dress who just entered the community?"

The security guard first looked her up and down, then glanced at Gu Yuan and the others behind her and asked, "What is your relationship with her?"

Du Jiajia smiled and replied, "My grandma and the elderly people in her family are old acquaintances. This time she asked me to come over to see them, but I'm not sure if it's her."

The security guard relaxed a little upon hearing this and said with a smile, "She's the owner of Building No. 1. The lady who owns that house is very kind and often sends fruit to people like us."

He paused and offered, "Are you looking for her? If you need help, I can help you contact her."

Du Jiajia quickly said, "Is it really possible? You have her cell phone number."

The security guard smiled and said, "It's OK. If she's someone we know, it's easy. We often help her, and she often brings us things. We're all friends."
