The adoptive father screamed and fell to the ground again, still yelling the word "bitch".
Li Shu was annoyed by the noise, so she knocked the man unconscious with a palm strike, and then began to collect the things from his body.
She took the wallet out of the man's trouser pocket, opened it and took out the only two hundred yuan left in it.
Then he slowly stood up, ignored him, and walked towards his room.
The room was not only small but also empty, with only a small bed that could accommodate one person and a small table.
There were folded clothes at the foot of the bed.
Li Shu picked up the washed-white towel hanging on the wall, walked to the kitchen outside, wet the towel with cold water, and began to wipe the dirt off her limbs and face.
After wiping it almost done, she returned to the room.
Just as I was about to change my clothes, my eyes suddenly fell on the small mirror on the table, and then I remembered that I had never seen what this body looked like.
Li Shu put down the clothes she had just picked up and walked towards the table. The next moment, her image appeared in the mirror.
Although the girl in the mirror had a face as pale as paper, her facial features could not hide her stunning beauty.
Especially those peach blossom eyes, when they turn slightly, a light flashes across them, with a bit of bewitching feeling, which is very seductive.
But his body is too thin and skinny, and it feels like a gust of wind will blow him down. He needs to be nourished.
Li Shu turned around, picked up the clean clothes on the bed and started changing.
After changing, he picked up his ID card from the desk drawer and walked out the door.
After taking two steps, he remembered the pinch marks on his neck, so he picked up the only thin jacket he had and put it on, zipping it up to the top to cover his entire neck.
After walking out of the room, Li Shu picked up her adoptive father's cell phone on the table and put it into her coat pocket. Then, without even looking at the middle-aged man lying unconscious on the ground, she stepped over his body and left without looking back.
…
On the other side, a private club in Beijing.
Huo Yandong pushed open the door of the box and walked in breathlessly. He picked up the bottle of wine on the coffee table and took two gulps directly from it.
He wiped the corner of his mouth, his face still a little frightened. He looked at the man leaning on the sofa and said, "Fuck you, Brother Yu, I fucking ran into a ghost on the road!"
Chen Yu took away his arm that was covering his eyes, lifted his eyelids and glanced at him. The corners of his deep eyes showed laziness, and his voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of nonchalance. "Then why are you still alive?"
Huo Yandong sat down next to him and took out his phone from his pocket. "I'm not kidding, I even took pictures!"
As she spoke, she took out the photos from the album and handed them to the man.
Shen Yu raised his eyebrows, sat up slightly, and took the phone from him.
The person in the photo was none other than Li Shu on her way home.
"What can a back figure tell you? Besides, the feet are touching the ground and there's a shadow on the ground. Are you sure this isn't a person?"
Huo Yandong scratched his hair. After hearing what Shen Yu said, he looked carefully at the photos he took and realized that he seemed to have misunderstood.
"No, Brother Yu, you don't know that I honked at her and she didn't react at all, and it was early in the morning, it was fucking scary..."
Chen Yu reached out and picked up the cigarette box and lighter on the table, took out a cigarette and bit it between his lips. He turned the lighter in his hand, and with a "click", a blue-purple flame ignited and lit the cigarette.
He took a deep breath, took out the cigarette and held it between his fingertips. His handsome features were somewhat distorted by the swirling smoke. "How's the matter I asked you to investigate going?"
Huo Yandong thought of the important matters and immediately forgot about the ghost girl. "I found out. The Ji family will bring your legitimate fiancée back tomorrow. Her name is Li Shu."
He paused, then added, "And it seems the Ji family wants to keep Ji Qianya by their side. Even if Li Shu, the real daughter who grew up in the slums, is brought back now and retrained, the gap between her and Ji Qianya over the past decade cannot be bridged immediately."
"But, Brother Yu, do you really want to listen to your grandfather and marry into the Ji family?"
Chen Yu flicked the ash from his fingertips, his brows and eyes lazy, "Let's talk later."
…
at the same time.
After Li Shu left home, she found a small hotel nearby that cost a few dozen yuan a night and checked in.
As for the Ji family coming to pick her up tomorrow, she was not worried at all.
After all, the Ji family is wealthy and powerful, so it's not difficult for them to find someone.
Moreover, she did not intentionally hide her whereabouts, so the other party could find out where she was with just a little investigation.
In the room, Li Shu took out her adoptive father's mobile phone from her pocket and unlocked the password with the memory of her original body.
She checked her WeChat balance, hmm, fifty yuan, just enough for her to order takeout.
After placing the order, Li Shu put down her phone and went straight to the bathroom to take a hot bath.
When she finished taking a shower and drying her hair, the phone on the table rang.
She picked up the phone and pressed the answer button. The delivery man's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hello, your takeaway has arrived."
Li Shu nodded, hung up the phone, and walked over to open the door.
She looked up at the delivery man at the door, who was a young man.
Li Shu reached out to take the takeaway and suddenly said, "I'll go home straight after I deliver this order."
"Huh?" The delivery man, who was about to leave, paused, ignoring the message of the delivery on his phone. He asked in a very good-tempered manner, "Little sister, what do you mean by that? Why do you want me to go home directly?"
"Wait a moment." Li Shu turned and went back to the room, leaving the delivery man standing at the door with a confused look on his face.
Less than two minutes later, she came over with a drawn talisman in her hand and handed it to him, "Keep it close to you, it can save your life in a critical moment."
Although the talisman was made with white paper and a black water-based pen, the effect is definitely not as good as that made with yellow paper and cinnabar, but it is sufficient.
The delivery man took the talisman and took a look at it. It was the first time he saw talisman with black words on it, so he found it quite novel.
I didn't really believe what she said in the first place, and now I think she's like a charlatan, but I didn't show it on my face.
He folded the talisman paper twice and put it in his trouser pocket, and said politely, "Thank you."
Then he left here.
…
On this side, after the delivery man walked out of the hotel, he looked at the order distributed to him on his mobile phone, and immediately rode his electric bike to the store to pick up the takeaway.
As for what Li Shu said to him, he had long forgotten it.
When the delivery man was riding his electric bike through an empty four-way intersection, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, but he didn't care. He turned right and continued riding.
But gradually he realized that something was wrong. How did he end up at this four-way intersection again?
He didn't believe it and tried a few more times, but found that he always ended up back at this four-way intersection.
The delivery man's heart tightened, a look of fear on his face. Could he have encountered the legendary ghost wall?!
