When Shu Mai heard this, she sat there blankly for a long time, thinking frantically in her mind about what could have secretly stolen her life.
After thinking for a while, she spoke in disbelief.
"Could it be the gift box I brought back from the beach?"
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her suspicion was correct!
Because her nightmare started that night at the beach.
I thought I would be back to normal after leaving the beach villa, but I didn't feel any better after returning home.
The only time she slept well was when she returned to her father's house.
And she was able to fall asleep while resting outside, wasn’t it because the gift box was not with her?
Thinking of this, Shu Mai felt terrified and confused at the same time.
The things were given to him by that girl, she was his friend, and Shu Mai thought they had a good relationship, so she wouldn't hurt him like this, right?
The main reason was that Shu Mai always felt that the girl was powerful and influential, and he was just a small worker, so there was no need for her to treat him like this.
So maybe she actually didn't know there was something wrong with the gift box?
Lin Xi didn't comment upon hearing this, and only said, "If it's convenient, could you take me to have a look?"
Whether there is something wrong with the gift box or not, she has to see it with her own eyes to confirm.
Shu Mai naturally couldn't refuse, so while Lin Xi was free at the moment, she immediately took Lin Xi to her rental house.
Half an hour later, the two stood at the door of Shumai's rental house.
Before she even entered the door, she saw wisps of evil energy coming out from the cracks in the door.
When the door opened, Lin Xi saw the small rectangular box at a glance.
She asked Shumai, "Have you ever opened the box?"
Shumai shook his head.
When she came back, she was tired and sleepy, so she put the box aside. She had originally planned to take some time to see what was inside, but then she started suffering from insomnia and nightmares, and she had long forgotten about the box.
If it weren't for what Lin Xi said just now, she probably wouldn't have thought of this box.
Looking at the box, Shu Mai felt complicated.
"Master, is this the thing?"
In fact, when Lin Xi walked in and took the box, Schumann knew it must be this thing.
Since it was Lin Xi's first time entering her house, she certainly had no idea where the box was.
But she found the gift box accurately.
It can be seen that there is indeed something in this gift box.
The reason why she asked another question was just because she was holding on to the last bit of hope and her trust in the girl.
But with Lin Xi's nod, that last glimmer of hope disappeared.
Lin Xi weighed the gift box and asked Shu Mai.
"Can you open it?"
Shu Nai replied in a low voice.
"Open it."
Lin Xi quickly opened the gift box and found a very beautiful flower specimen inside. The specimen was well wrapped and looked lifelike, just like a real flower.
But no matter how similar it is, it is not real, but a dead flower.
In addition to the flower specimens that are exquisite enough to be exhibited, there is also a bookmark with a message from the gift owner.
The most important thing is that Shu Mai’s name is on the bookmark, and it seems that it was written specifically for Shu Mai.
If this incident had not happened before, when Shumai saw this bookmark and the message, she might have simply thought that the person who gave her the gift was a warm and thoughtful person who would write a message for every gift.
But now, she had to think more.
Did she really write a special message in each person's gift, or was it just hers?
The flower specimens represent the air of withering and decay, while Shu Mai's name is on the bookmark. Putting these two things together, the meaning is beyond Lin Ximing's words.
However, if we want to break the current situation, it is not enough to simply destroy things.
Destroying what you have in your hand only means that you will not be able to continue to steal your life.
As for those that have been stolen, they still have to be retrieved from the other party.
Schumann naturally wanted to take back his own life, so he begged Lin Xi for help.
When you are young, you may feel that living a few more years is not that important, or you may not have any concept of it. But when you get old, living one more month or even one more day becomes a luxury.
This was also the feeling that Schumann gradually developed after his father grew old.
If she lived a few more years, she could take care of her father for a few more years. If she died before her father, Schumann simply couldn't bear to think about how painful her father would be.
Therefore, she must get back the life span that was stolen!
Although Lin Xi and Shu Mai are still not 100% sure whether that girl is the mastermind behind the incident, they can only start with her now.
So Lin Xi asked Shu Mai to contact her, and it would be best if he could ask the girl out for a meeting.
Shu Mai nodded and said yes, then he considered sending a message to the girl.
At the same time, in a foreign holiday resort.
Jiang Jie and her friend were lying on beach chairs basking in the sun. The not-so-strong sunlight felt particularly comfortable on their bodies.
A little sister next to her looked at Jiang Jie and asked her.
"By the way, Xiao Jie, is your grandfather feeling better?"
They have known each other since childhood. Even if their fathers are competitors, they are in the same circle and they still have to observe basic courtesy.
As for Jiang Jie's grandfather, he is a well-known figure to all the younger generations.
After all, he is an example of someone who started from scratch. Now, the elders in the family occasionally mention the glorious deeds of Grandpa Jiang Jie.
Moreover, Grandpa Jiang Jie is not only courageous and capable, but his lifespan and health seem to be longer than those of people of the same age.
He is already 98 years old this year. The older generations of his age have long since passed away. Only Jiang Jie's grandfather has to go to the hospital every few days, but he always comes out safe and sound after staying in the hospital for two days.
So the little sister just asked casually, and she knew that Jiang Jie's grandfather probably wouldn't have any problems this time.
Sure enough, she soon heard Jiang Jie say, "It's okay. My grandfather is a lucky man, there will be no problem."
When the little sister heard this, she immediately said, "Grandpa Jiang is really amazing. It looks like he will live to be a hundred years old."
Jiang Jie frowned when she heard that.
Her grandfather is already 98 years old this year. When she says he lives a hundred years, doesn't that mean she is saying that he can only live for two more years?
Her grandfather could live much longer than this!
"Ah, that's not what I meant. I meant that Grandpa Jiang will surely be blessed with great fortune and a long life!"
It’s all because they are used to saying “live a long life”.
But when you think about it, you can't blame her. After all, she has never seen anyone around her live to be a hundred years old. She has seen it on the news and in videos, but they are not people they know.
Among the people she knew, Jiang Jie's grandfather was the longest-lived.
I really don’t know how he did it. Other elderly people of the same generation also had regular physical examinations and had special rehabilitation teams, but in the end, he still passed away.
"Xiao Jie, could you recommend the treatment team your grandfather usually works with? I'd like them to treat my grandparents as well."
In fact, the elderly in the family are no longer just family members for a family like theirs. They are also the mainstay of the group and the company.
If it is not necessary, they will try their best to conceal the news of the illness of the elderly in the family, for fear that it will affect the company.
