Baby's Night Walk (XI)
Qi Meihe was really good to Wu Yihan. She transferred him to a ward with a living room, bathroom and balcony, and hired three nurses to take care of him in three shifts.
She asked Jiang Yu worriedly, "Master, tell me the truth about Xiao Wu. The guardian spirit I asked for told me in a dream that Xiao Wu was going to have a disaster recently. I was busy with work and didn't have time to tell him to be careful before something happened. Sigh..."
Yu Shu had a good first impression of Qi Meihe, but her good impression was shattered as soon as she spoke. She tried hard to speak in a girlish tone with a smoky Northeastern voice, which was quite artificial.
Yu Shu carefully observed her demeanor as she spoke; the nervousness was clearly a performance; he had seen it before. The patient's husband, having learned that his wife had died from an immune rejection reaction after surgery and that he would receive a large insurance payout, improvised a faux-pas of grief for the crowd.
But Yu Shu didn't know what to say. He just came here to take care of the little ghost. He couldn't cross the line and had no intention of asking about the relationship between a top star and the financial backer behind him.
In addition, Qi Meihe's words and actions are quite inconsistent. She mentioned that the guardian deity appeared in her dream. She knew that Wu Yihan would get into trouble but she didn't spend any money to protect her beloved little man.
How much of this concern is true and how much is false is self-evident.
Yu Shu gently pulled down the hem of Jiang Yu's clothes and gave him a look that said, "Boss Qi is more powerful than Boss Wu Yihan, be careful with your words and don't offend anyone."
Jiang Yu understood what he meant, turned around and put on a standard polite smile to Qi Meihe, and asked, "Do you know that Wu Yihan has a little ghost?"
Most people in the north would raise a guardian deity. Qi Meihe herself said that the guardian deity would appear in dreams. For a prominent figure like her, the guardian deity she would invite would be even more extraordinary. So logically speaking, if the guardian deity could predict danger in a dream, then she must know that he had raised a little ghost.
Both raising guardian spirits and ghosts are for the purpose of gaining benefits, so they are similar in nature, but one takes a slow approach with no harm, while the other achieves its goal quickly with mixed benefits and disadvantages.
The guardian deity should hate dirty things and should give Qi Meihe guidance to keep her away from Wu Yihan, who will affect her luck and fortune.
Qi Meihe was slightly stunned: "Master, if you hadn't told me just now, I really wouldn't have known. The guardian spirit only told me that the evil spirit had possessed Xiao Wu. I always thought that someone in their group was raising a little ghost and it affected him."
"How could he do such a stupid thing? You have to help him."
"Sister Qi, it's almost time." The assistant chose the right moment to interrupt and prevent Jiang Yu from continuing the topic.
"I'm so sorry." Qi Meihe looked back every few steps, her watery eyes filled with regret.
Those who don't know her might think she is very affectionate, but Yu Shu knows that although she is currently a single parent, her son is almost the same age as Wu Yihan. If she really wanted to treat him well, she would have given him a legal status so that he wouldn't have to continue to hang out in that circle full of troubles.
Some things are better left unsaid. Yu Shu pressed Jiang Yu's shoulder and asked him to bow slightly before sending him off.
After Qi Meihe walked away, a gust of cold wind blew in the room again. Yu Shu found an excuse to send the nurse away so that no more people could hear the following conversation.
A moment later, the sword-wielding guard and Ah Zhen appeared at the same time.
Ah Zhen actually never left, the Jinyiwei just came back.
Jiang Yu asked the Jinyiwei: "Have you found it?"
Upon hearing this, the Jinyiwei immediately knelt on one knee and saluted: "Found it, in the wall of his darkroom."
Yu Shu was confused by what he heard, and frowned slightly. He looked at Jiang Yu for an explanation.
According to Jiang Yu's arrangement, Azhen went to find the local ghosts to learn about the mother and child ghosts, while the Jinyiwei was responsible for investigating the old community.
The Jinyiwei had come back once before, and Jiang Yu asked him to find the body of the mother and son ghost.
I had prepared everything well for the little ghost and nothing went wrong, but I couldn't send him away.
Wu Yihan's resistance and dissatisfaction at that time were also very strange, as if she was just doing it for Feng Meng's sake. Jiang Yu couldn't help but become suspicious.
There are only two reasons why the ashes cannot be sent away: either the ashes have nothing to do with the mother and child ghosts, or the body is imprisoned and will come back no matter how many times it is sent.
The first scenario is obviously not true, so the only possibility left is the second one. Wu Yihan hid Wu Jiayi's body so that the regular ghost-sending ceremony could not send her away.
Jiang Yu explained the whole story to Yu Shu clearly and concisely.
Now that they know where the body is hidden, it will be much easier. They can just go there, break down the wall, dig out the body, and then send it away.
But Yu Shu thought for a moment, it was normal for the Jinyiwei to report the progress after finding the information Jiang Yu wanted, but Ah Zhen probably hadn't finished her words just now, and she left because Qi Meihe came so suddenly.
He said, "You, don't you have anything to say?"
Ah Zhen nodded slightly.
Wu Jiayi died of ciguatera toxin. She was not pregnant when she died. She only found out after her death that it was her boyfriend of seven years, the one who said he would give her a legitimate relationship, who killed her.
What happened later surprised all the wandering ghosts in the capital.
Since ancient times, only the family of the deceased would spend a lot of money to find a living person for ghost marriage. Today, I am fortunate enough to see a living person take the initiative to marry a dead person.
Wu Yihan killed Wu Jiayi and had a ghost marriage with her. All the old ghosts in Beijing had heard about it.
The ghosts were still speculating that Wu Yihan didn't know that the red snapper was poisonous, and indirectly killed Wu Jiayi, so in order to make up for his mistakes and to fulfill the promise he made, he took the initiative to have a ghost marriage.
But the truth is not that simple.
The first time he gave Wu Jiayi red snapper, she clearly expressed that she had symptoms of discomfort after eating it. If he really loved her that much, how could he keep giving it to her?
Even the private hospitals we went to had their statements arranged in advance.
All this is just because Wu Yihan feels that he is no longer the same as before, and Wu Jiayi is no longer of any use to him. He does not need a woman who will affect his career.
He may have loved deeply once, but he is not the kind of man who takes feelings to heart. He loves money and reputation more.
During that period, Wu Yihan had surprisingly good resources. He played the leading role in several TV series, made a guest appearance in Director Zhang's movies, became the Asian spokesperson for a certain brand, and appeared on the Paris Fashion Week and Cannes red carpet. He was extremely popular.
His personal resources are better than the entire group combined. He moved into a large flat in the second ring road of Beijing faster than his teammates and drove a customized supercar faster than his teammates.
All of this is inseparable from Qi Meihe.
She was the noble person Wu Yihan met during his elective period. Without her, Wu Yihan would have been just an ordinary member of a boy band.
"Do you really want to marry a dead person?" Wu Yihan looked at the stiff and pale corpse, bitterness welling up in her throat.
Under Qi Meihe's arrangement, Wu Yihan found someone to help claim Wu Jiayi's body and moved the body from the morgue back to his home.
Qi Meihe smiled coquettishly and nodded: "Yes, not only do you have to get married, but after the marriage you have to make her pregnant with your child. Then you can support them both. They will bless you with a bright future, from domestic to international."
Wu Yihan suspected that she had heard it wrong. Making a dead person pregnant?
Not only does he want a ghost marriage, but he also wants to do that kind of thing with the dead?!
Qi Meihe still smiled softly: "If you feel embarrassed, you don't have to do it. The guardian spirit I invited said that you are already a top star in China now. If you don't rush, it's only a matter of time before you go international."
She said it tactfully and left a way out, but she was sure that Wu Yihan was greedy and would definitely not be willing to take one more step on her own if she could achieve success overnight.
"Okay." Wu Yihan gritted his teeth.
But Wu Yihan had no idea that what she raised was not a guardian deity at all, but also a little ghost, and a little ghost with double pupils.
She saw from the beginning the ruthlessness of Wu Yihan, who was ruthless and didn't care about his relatives or old friendships, so she was willing to spend a little money to support him, just for this moment.
Even the method of using red snapper to poison Wu Jiayi was her idea. When the autopsy showed ciguatera toxin, they could only say that they were not sure how to identify this unpopular and rare poison and it was accidentally ingested.
She had been planning for so long, not because she liked Wu Yihan that much, but because she needed him as a chess piece. The little ghost with double pupils only needed to eat the baby conceived from the corpse of a ghost marriage once, and she wouldn't have to worry about how to satisfy the little ghost for a very long time.
This is why there is an urn room, and why Wu Jiayi, who turned into a ghost, has a big hole in her stomach.
So, in the final analysis, Qi Meihe was only doing it for herself, and she didn't have much feelings for Wu Yihan at all.
After listening to Ah Zhen's detailed description, Yu Shu's mind automatically replayed Qi Meihe's feigned sadness and he couldn't help but take a deep breath: "No wonder she had that expression."
As Yu Shu was speaking, he left a message on the hospital's online service station, saying that they had something to do and had to leave first, and asked the nurse to come over occasionally to check on the situation. The nurse would not need to come when the caregiver returned.
Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows with interest and asked knowingly, "What expression?"
"Just deliberately show us a sad expression." Yu Shu typed the last word, raised his head and pouted.
"Really? I didn't see it." Jiang Yu waved his hand, indicating that the two ghosts had completed their mission and could go back to rest.
Yu Shu thought for a few seconds and tried his best to imitate, with his eyelids half-closed and brows furrowed, then he blinked his eyes and fluttered his eyelashes deliberately, bit his lower lip, and turned the corners of his mouth slightly downwards.
He tried his best to imitate, but unfortunately he only had a handsome and delicate face but no acting talent.
But in Jiang Yu's eyes, it had another flavor, not sadness but more like a wronged plea.
"Not at all." Jiang Yu smiled.
"You clearly saw it, and you still say you didn't see it? Are you kidding me?!" Yu Shu pointed at Jiang Yu's nose and said angrily.
Jiang Yu raised his head, and the tip of his nose just touched Yu Shu's warm and soft fingertips. He said in a light tone: "Wow, you actually found it."
Yu Shu closed his eyes for several seconds, took a deep breath, and kept repeating in his mind: It's okay, it's okay, Jiang Yu just deserves a beating.
When he opened his eyes again, Jiang Yu was already standing at the door of the ward, looking back at him.
"Leave."
Jiang Yu didn't tell him where he was going, but Yu Shu knew he was going to Wu Yihan's house, breaking down the wall, digging up the body, and sending the little ghost away. He sent a text message to Feng Meng, who had a spare key to Wu Yihan's house, asking her to come and help open the door.
The boy's voice echoed through the ward, like an invisible hand, pushing Yu Shu's legs out. The two shadows, like a pair of double figures, stood side by side, and as they stepped out of the room, they seemed to become the shadows of the floor tiles.
"But the ghost baby in that community doesn't seem to have anything to do with Wu Yihan." The scenery outside the window flashed by, and the lights dragged out long tails in the night. Yu Shu leaned against the glass in a daze and suddenly said.
The driver turned the steering wheel to drift and turn, and Yu Shu fell in the other direction due to the force, and his forehead fell on Jiang Yu's shoulder.
He looked up and saw Jiang Yu lowering his eyebrows. Their eyes met at a close distance. In the dim light, they could vaguely see their own reflections in each other's eyes.
Jiang Yu's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know why, but he pretended to be calm and turned his gaze away. He leaned close to Yu Shu's ear, and his whisper tickled Yu Shu's ear like a feather: "Qi Meihe is the big boss of the surrogacy den."
