Chapter 6: Buried Excitement
After Shi Ling finished speaking, she felt that speculating about other people's family affairs was inappropriate. She immediately bit her tongue to stop herself and said awkwardly, "I've watched too many melodramatic dramas about wealthy families. I'm just guessing."
Gu Yang smiled nonchalantly, "It's okay. It doesn't matter."
Compared to the troubles at home, Gu Yang was more concerned about Shi Ling's mental state. "Can you still hear the plants talking to you now?"
"No, the plants in my house can't talk. But now I not only have hallucinations frequently, but I can also hear the hallucinations talking to me. Doctor Gu Yang, has my condition worsened?" Shi Ling was a little worried.
Gu Yang asked gently, "What did you see?"
Shi Ling recounted to Gu Yang what happened today with the woman on Brother Frog's shoulder.
Gu Yang: "You said you were scared?"
Shi Ling nodded.
Gu Yang looked at her with a complicated expression: "Perhaps you haven't noticed that you are actually very excited when you talk about this."
Shi Ling was slightly stunned.
Is it the excitement hidden deep within the fear?
Shi Ling covered her face in fear, "Am I a hidden psychopath?"
Gu Yang was amused by her exaggerated expression. "There may be only a fine line between madness and genius. Perhaps behind those surface fears and the excitement buried deep within is your real world."
Shi Ling seemed to understand but not quite.
Gu Yang probably guessed what was going on with Shi Ling, but saying too much now would only make Shi Ling speculate. She gave Shi Ling a meaningful look and said, "After I finish dealing with the affairs in the capital, I'll find time to give you a deep hypnosis session so you can see the true world deep within."
Shi Ling nodded obediently: "Yeah!"
…
After saying goodbye to Gu Yang, Shi Ling received a call from the police station.
Shi Ling recalled how she had angrily called the police to report Frog Brother at noon. When she heard that she was asked to go to the police station, she immediately backed down: "I'm sorry, officer, I didn't mean to make a false report. I wasn't thinking straight, and I thought I was seeing a ghost!"
The police officer opposite said, "What did you say? Miss Shi Ling, your report helped us find Meng Qi's body and the murderer. The family wants to thank you in person."
Shi Ling: “Ah???!”
…
Half an hour later, at Yuncheng Police Station.
A pair of haggard-looking middle-aged parents expressed their gratitude to Shi Ling profusely.
Mother Meng held Shi Ling's hand tightly, tears streaming down her face. "Miss Shi, I heard that you helped us find Xiaoqi and her murderer. Thank you so much!"
Meng Qi has been missing for more than a year, and they have long accepted the fact that their daughter is no longer alive.
I persisted, just to find my daughter, bring her home, and bring the murderer to justice.
Unfortunately, there was no clue for a long time. Unexpectedly, just when they were in despair, the police told them that Meng Qi and the murderer had been found.
"Miss Shi, this is 100,000 yuan in cash. We originally posted a missing person notice. If anyone can help us find Xiaoqi, we will give them 100,000 yuan as a reward."
In Mr. Meng's wrinkled hands was a large bundle of money, a large bundle of red and green money, obviously the hard-earned money saved by migrant workers.
Shi Ling looked at him sadly, "I can't accept it. You can use this money for your retirement."
Shi Ling had already learned from the police that the couple were migrant workers and Meng Qi was their only daughter. She was a top student admitted to Yuncheng University and was the hope of the whole family.
Father Meng's face was terrifyingly serious, and his voice was heavy: "Take it! Miss Shi, I know you sympathize with us. Although we are not well-educated, we must keep our promises. We know this principle."
Mother Meng also wiped away her tears and said, "Miss Shi, just take it. This is what you deserve. Only when you take it will we feel at ease."
Shi Ling took the 100,000 yuan and felt it was extremely heavy.
She saw Meng Qi crying like a tearful person behind Meng's father and mother.
