Chapter 088 Rose
"See you tomorrow then!" An Juesui looked at Ji Qifeng who was standing opposite him, his tone steady.
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Ji Qifeng nodded and said good night to him.
The two had just finished a day's work, and after saying hello at the door, they went home.
At midnight, dark clouds gathered in the sky. After a loud thunder, a crack was torn in the sky and heavy rain poured down.
Raindrops kept hitting the glass, the voice-controlled lights flickered with the thunder, and the sudden sound of footsteps was particularly abrupt.
The thin man whose face could not be seen took one step at a time up the stairs, heading towards the boundary between fantasy and reality. The red rose inserted on the side of the backpack was soaked with rain, making its color more vivid and embodying the fiery "love".
I walked lightly towards the door that I could never forget even in my dreams. I stopped in front of the door, with my eyes fixed on the cat-eye door mirror. The man lowered his head, and a sinister chuckle rang out through the mask in the empty space.
"It's not the right time yet, it will be soon..." He muttered to himself, his voice so soft that it was almost inaudible.
He changed direction and stopped in front of the side door of the stairwell. He skillfully took out the memory card of the camera that was always keeping an eye on the place for him, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
When I was about to replace the memory card and hide the camera again, the elevator not far away, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly started to work.
The man quickened his movements and at the same moment the elevator made a sound indicating it had reached a new floor, he stood up and walked towards the elevator.
A lady came towards them with an umbrella in her hand. She glanced at the person in front of her and walked towards the gate of the Ji family. The phone suddenly rang, and she picked up the call: "Bed 21? I'll be there right now."
She hurriedly saw the thin man had entered the elevator and the door was about to close. She hurriedly pressed the buttons several times, called the elevator, came in and said, "Excuse me."
The man lowered his head and said nothing.
Ji's mother was concerned about the patient, so she didn't think much about it and pressed the button.
Outside the wall, Ji Qifeng looked at the message his agent had just sent him, and became extremely anxious. He hurriedly opened the door and planned to chase out.
"Qifeng!" An Juesui also saw the news that Ji's mother might have run into the illegitimate child. Knowing that Ji Qifeng was anxious and worried that something might have happened to him, he followed.
In the lobby on the first floor, Wu Wen and other staff members were ready and waiting, intending to catch the man red-handed when he left. Unexpectedly, in the surveillance video, Ji's mother suddenly appeared and bumped into someone, catching everyone off guard.
In the elevator, Ji's mother looked at the changing floor numbers and suddenly remembered something. Only the Ji and An families lived on this floor, so why would a strange face appear there?
She frowned. Ji Qifeng seemed to have mentioned something a few days ago, but she was busy treating patients sent from a major accident. She had been working for almost twenty hours and was exhausted when she returned home.
I didn't have any impression of what Ji Qifeng said. They were nothing more than some jokes in the entertainment industry, and I didn't take them seriously. I just remember that he seemed to mention roses.
As Ji's mother was thinking this, she glanced at the man and happened to notice the red roses in his backpack, so she took a few more glances.
And it was these two glances that caused the trouble.
The moment the elevator door opened, the staff wanted to arrest the man directly, but they found that only Ji's mother was in the elevator, holding her abdomen in pain.
Wu Wen hurried forward to support her: "Auntie, how are you? Where is the person in the elevator?"
Mother Ji endured the pain and looked at the group of people in front of her: "Who are you... He suddenly hit me and got off the elevator on the fourth floor."
Upon hearing this, someone immediately rushed up the stairs to catch the man who had just attacked Ji's mother.
Wu Wenzhe quickly explained the situation to Ji's mother and asked someone to send her to the hospital.
After getting in the car, Ji's mother mentioned the name of a hospital that was a little far away. Assistant Xiao Liu, who was responsible for sending her, turned around and confirmed with her: "Auntie, there is a tertiary hospital nearby. It's the closest one."
The pain in her abdomen eased a little, and Ji's mother said, "I'm much better now. There are still patients waiting for me. Let's go."
Assistant Liu then remembered that Ji Qifeng's mother was a doctor, and she was traveling back and forth between the hospital and home so late at night, probably because of an emergency at work.
Not daring to delay for even a second, he stepped on the accelerator and drove steadily in the heavy rain to take Ji's mother to the hospital she mentioned.
On the other side, several footsteps were heard intermittently in the stairwell.
When Ji Qifeng rushed to the fourth floor, he saw several footprints with rain on them and hurriedly chased after them.
An Juesui followed closely behind him, and soon the two of them met several people who had caught up with them from the lobby on the first floor on the second floor.
“Where are the people…” The staff who caught up with them were also confused when they saw the two of them.
An Juesui stood between the second and third floors, looking around, and immediately noticed a rose petal lying at the side door of the third-floor stairwell.
He pointed in that direction and everyone walked over there with light steps.
When I opened the door, I didn't see the person. There was only a rose in the corner with only bare stems and leaves, and the petals were gone.
Just when they were feeling worried, they received a call from Wu Wen.
"Come down, the person has been caught." A noisy voice came from the other end of the microphone.
In the lobby on the first floor, through the foggy glass, the lights of the police cars flickered in the heavy rain, shining in from time to time.
The light was a bit dazzling, and the suppressed man squinted his eyes unconsciously. He saw An Juesui among the people who came, and his eyes were blatant: "You are here."
An Juesui felt as if ants were crawling on his body when he was looked at by him. The familiar feeling of nausea surged up again. He looked at the man intently, and suddenly several images appeared in his mind. His voice trembled a little: "It's you..."
An Juesui recognized him; it was not the first time he had seen this man.
The person who drew a rose gift during Wax&Wane's fan meeting, the person who participated in the Lucky 7 program as a staff member and verbally harassed and attacked Ji Qifeng, the person who came to the school cafeteria and claimed to be an alumnus and whose eyes made people extremely uncomfortable, are all the crazy stalker in front of him.
The images reappeared before his eyes uncontrollably. When he noticed that the man was holding a bunch of rose petals in his hand, An Juesui's face turned extremely ugly: "What else do you want to do?"
"Yes, it's me, this is..." The man pulled up a creepy smile and was about to say something when he suddenly saw Ji Qifeng rushing towards him and wanted to punch him.
"Ji Qifeng!" Wu Wen quickly stopped him. No matter how hateful it was, as public figures, they should never behave like this in public.
Some residents nearby had already been woken up and were here to watch the fun. If this punch went on, they would be taken back to the police station for violence and their case would be reported in the newspapers tomorrow.
Ji Qifeng, who was stopped, still clenched his fists, his hands shook uncontrollably, and his eyes were filled with anger. Can't artists express the emotions of ordinary people, or even do something when their most important relatives and friends are hurt?
If this is the case, then why is he being an idol? If he can't even protect the people around him, how can he bring happiness to others?
Several people worked together to stop Ji Qifeng with great difficulty. Then they heard that man seemed to be in a very happy mood and laughed crazily: "These are all gifts for you! My roses!"
