Chapter 40
Boom boom boom.
"Come in." President Hua looked at the documents handed to her by her subordinates. When she heard the knock on the door, she let someone in. It was her secretary, holding a microphone.
"Mr. Hua, it's the agent calling." The secretary was a little embarrassed and asked for instructions nervously.
"Didn't I tell you that you don't need to approach that agent when he calls you from now on?" Mr. Hua gave the order again without even looking up.
"No, Mr. Hua, the agent said they have the news you need, the news you have always wanted. Please be sure to notify you." The secretary didn't know whether this was just a trick by the agent or it was really important.
Mr. Hua stopped flipping through the documents in his hand. He had contacted his agent a few days ago in order to buy the villa in Guifa City that had been vacant for a long time.
Speaking of that villa, it was the saddest thing in her life. Her only child disappeared in that villa and never appeared again. She didn't know where to find him.
In those days, people didn't pay much attention to children. She only had this one child at the time, and there was no requirement to monitor the child around the clock. He was just like any other child, and most of the time he was left alone.
It wasn't until her child disappeared that her world fell apart. She was filled with so much regret and heartbreak. She was in a daze every day, looking for her child. Her condition was very bad, almost abnormal. She couldn't wait for a call from the kidnappers or any news.
Later, there was really no other way, so her husband took her away from the city. In order to relieve her mental stress, he helped her with her career. She slowly got out of there, but later divorced her husband. She has been alone ever since, devoting all her energy to her career, which is how she has everything she has now.
The house in Guifa City was in her name, and the agent called with this message. What important news could this be? Could it be something that had been bothering her for years? Finally, news about her child?
"Put the phone in." She'd received plenty of similar, seemingly plausible messages over the years. Each one was either a scam, a mistake, or simply a scam. But she never gave up. She wanted to know where her child was and whether he was doing well. Even if they didn't recognize each other, just a glimpse would be enough.
"Hello." She had encountered this kind of thing many times, so she was not as excited as at the beginning. Now she was very calm, basically without any ripples. This might be another deception. The agent wanted to buy the house from her and would do anything to achieve his goal, which made her very angry.
"Hello, Ms. Hua." The voice of the agent came from the other end of the phone.
"I hope the information you provided is true, otherwise you will receive a lawyer's letter." Mr. Hua's tone was cold.
"Hey, I'm really interested in the villa you have, but I won't joke with you about this. We are all parents. Although I was just a child back then, I definitely understand your feelings now." The agent's smooth talk was fully displayed on Liu Hai.
"Sister, I won't lie to you. The person who wants to buy your house this time is not simple. I can't tell you his specific identity, but he must be quite capable. He came down from the mountain and took a fancy to your house. I introduced other houses to him, but he refused to accept them."
President Hua frowned as she listened. She had seen this kind of smooth talk, the kind that made things seem alive, a lot in her business life. She wanted to hang up the phone. "It's not that I can't get this house from you, so I explained the whole story to him. He said without a word, "Go find him and he'll tell you where the child is."
This sounded even more like a liar, and Mr. Hua didn't believe a word of it.
"Seriously, please trust me this once. This family is truly remarkable. They can definitely fulfill your long-cherished wish. They're not short of money at all. I guarantee they're not scammers. If they are, you can send me to jail and I'll plead guilty in court." Liu Hai risked his life, "You know my address too. If you send a lawyer's letter, I won't be able to escape."
Ms. Hua closed her eyes, lost in thought. She'd been waiting for this news for years. Was he a liar? So be it. It wouldn't hurt to hear him again after all these years. She opened her eyes, her face grave. She called, "Okay, I'll go see him. Three days from now, in Guifa City. Where's the exact address?" She needed to finish her work so she could leave the vast Hua family.
"Then let's meet in three days, at your villa at 8168 Jinshuize District." This was all decided in advance by Liu Hai. Worried, he reminded her again, "You must come."
Ms. Hua was in a complicated mood. She had always avoided that place, but the other party actually made an appointment there. Without the correct information, she might retaliate.
——————————————
That night, Rong Zhou, in a state of being out of spirit, pulled the child to stand on the steps in front of the villa, looking at the dark night outside. The street lights in the distance could only illuminate a piece of land not far away.
"Uncle, will my mother come tomorrow?" The little boy has completely regained his childish fair and round complexion. Except for his pale skin, he is no different from an ordinary child.
"Yes, when your mother comes tomorrow, she will dig up this step and find you." The child didn't even know where his own body was buried. He just couldn't leave this area. The location of the body was discovered by Rong Zhou through spirit-seeking.
"That's great." The child's wish was to find his mother. He had been waiting in the darkness for so many years, and now that his wish was fulfilled, his resentment dissipated.
Children’s wishes are always touching. Rong Zhou couldn’t help but say, “As a reward for calling me into this world, I can help you fulfill another wish.” This child is the anchor point for their positioning in the dimensional space.
"Really?" The already round and dark eyes widened even wider, almost scary in size, and stared straight at Rong Zhou with their dark eyes.
"Yes." Rong Zhou would certainly not be frightened by the creepy visual effect in front of him, "You have to think carefully and can only make one wish." No matter what wish the child made, Rong Zhou has the ability to help him fulfill it. Even if he wants to come back to life, Rong Zhou can use energy to rebuild a body for him.
The little boy immediately smiled happily: "Being hurt is very painful. I hope that friend who often comes to accompany me at night will not get hurt again. He gets hurt every time he comes. Although he can't see me, he cries with me. I will find my mother and won't cry anymore. I hope he can laugh like me."
"Really? Your wish is great. Uncle will help you fulfill it." In this dark villa, two shadows invisible to strangers made an agreement between them.
Rong Zhou was moved. The soul of the ghostly child in front of him was so beautiful, emitting a soft light, which dispelled a lot of the darkness swirling in his body.
Little kids are such cute things.
