Chapter 26 She even greeted you
When Grandma Huang received the call, she immediately broke out in a cold sweat, her heart pounding, and she curled up into a ball, like a tightly tightened old rag.
Grandpa Huang was startled by her pale face, "Old lady, what's wrong with you? What did Hongyuan say?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Grandma Huang shook her head, trying to control her mixed emotions and make her wrinkled face look relaxed. Then she said to her little granddaughter who was looking at her worriedly, "Xiao He, do you miss Grandma Bai?"
"The last time we saw her was..." Grandma Huang pretended to not remember, and patted her head with a bitter face, "Grandma is really old and useless. When was the last time our Xiao He saw Grandma Bai?"
Grandpa Huang's face turned pale and his tone was cold: "Old woman, what nonsense are you talking about! Didn't Mrs. Bai long ago--"
Before he could finish his words, Grandma Huang blocked his words with a look that urged him to stay calm.
"The last time you saw Grandma Bai? Wasn't it three days ago? Grandma, you forgot." Huang He recalled the scene of that day, her tone tinged with joy, "I remember that day, I was playing with the wooden puppy that Grandma Bai gave me under the big tree. After a while, Grandma Bai also came. She greeted you, but you were busy talking to Grandpa at that time, so you didn't answer Grandma Bai..."
Huang He paused and said, "That day, Grandma Bai was dressed very differently from usual. She wore a dress with many longevity patterns on it... It looked like something someone on TV would wear."
Grandma Huang's expression changed completely.
With a longevity pattern... isn't that a shroud?
And three days ago was exactly the seventh night of the death of the old lady surnamed Bai!
Grandpa Huang, who was standing by, was so shocked by what his granddaughter said that his face turned pale and he was speechless for a long time.
In the end, Grandma Huang only had time to comfort her granddaughter with a few words before the nurses in the ICU ward asked her to leave the ward on the grounds that visiting hours were over.
The two were anxious and stood in the changing room, talking while taking off their isolation suits.
"Old man... Master Qi was right. Our Xiaohe was targeted by that damn old lady Bai! She always told me that she wanted to adopt Xiaohe as her granddaughter. I know what she was thinking. It's because her son is infertile... I never thought that she would do something like taking our Xiaohe away after her death!" Grandma Huang was so angry that she wanted to rush to Old Lady Bai's house and smash her spirit tablet to vent her anger.
But...can Xiao He be saved in this way?
"Let's go home first and see what the master says, okay?" Grandpa Huang helped Grandma Huang, who was so angry that she had difficulty breathing, to calm down the anger in her chest and carefully helped her walk out.
What they didn't know was that their conversation was recorded by a young boy with dyed blond hair, black-framed glasses, and several pimples, who was pretending to take off his isolation suit behind them.
The boy recognized Qi Gu the moment he saw him.
Recently, his girlfriend has been possessed by some evil spirit and has been sending him highlight clips of Qi Gu's rituals all day long. She also said that Qi Gu is very handsome and that she wants to go to Fu'ai Temple to see him and burn some incense to pray for love.
The boy thought to himself, who else could be your soulmate except me?
I was very dissatisfied.
In addition, his girlfriend often praises other men, which makes the boy very angry. He didn't even watch Qi Gu's video. He unilaterally judged that his girlfriend just had a low IQ and was deceived by online marketing and video special effects.
I've been holding my breath.
Until today, when he was dragged by his parents to visit a relative he was not very familiar with who was admitted to the ICU, he discovered that Qi Gu had also come to the ICU ward, and from their conversation, it seemed that Qi Gu was invited by the family to take care of things.
The boy immediately came up with an idea and decided to secretly record the evidence and upload it online to expose Qi Gu's deceitful character!
He replayed the video, showing the anxious and painful tone of the old couple, edited it slightly with the two videos he had secretly filmed before, wrote an exaggerated title, and directly posted the video online.
Laozi Long Aotian: This charlatan looks familiar. He has deceived people into coming to the ICU. Should he do some good deeds? #video#
When the video was first released, not many people watched it. However, with the recent popularity of Qi Gu, someone soon recognized that the young master wearing a mask was Qi Gu. For a while, the comments were mixed, and the onlookers were so excited that it seemed like the New Year.
[Why is this melon guy here again? He must have won the lottery, right? This trending search never stops]
[How many hits can you get if you buy trending searches like this, Mueller]
[The news of the wanted criminal being caught a few days ago was hyped up so much, but I feel it was probably just a special effect and coincidence. Maybe Qi Gu already knew that the place was where the bodies were hidden, and deliberately went there with the program crew to create a gimmick]
[It’s really a coincidence…]
[Didn’t fans say before that the official media had already confirmed it? 】
[The official media confirmed the case of the grandparents being stabbed by a thief, not the murder case]
[Oh my goodness, so these are all fans’ routines and rhetoric, right?]
[He bought so much marketing before just to screw with the metaphysical master’s persona and trick rich people into begging him. What a good plan.]
[Oh my god, if you say that...]
[What a scheming man]
…
Of course, it’s not that there aren’t fans and people who have received favors from Qi Gu in the past who speak up for Qi Gu. It’s just that although Qi Gu now has more fans than before, compared with the Internet spectators, their fans are just a drop in the bucket. There’s no way they can win a war of words of this magnitude.
For a while, countless anti-counterfeiting bloggers who wanted to take advantage of the popularity rushed out to take screenshots of the live video frame by frame, saying that the lighting looked wrong here and there, and that it must be a prop/special effect, etc. Their arguments were well-reasoned and made people outside the circle stunned.
As a result, netizens cursed even more fiercely.
[Oh my god, this is really too mean. The little girl is already in the ICU, and the parents are already sad enough, but he still lied to them]
[I don’t even dare to imagine how painful it would be for parents to have hope and then despair…]
[Ahhh blogger, can you please help call the police and arrest him quickly! 】
[I really can't stand seeing this kind of scene, it's so uncomfortable, the ICU environment is so depressing]
[So no one doubted why the blogger still had the mood to secretly take photos of Qi Gu when his family was in the ICU?]
When “Laozi Long Aotian” saw the news, he quickly responded righteously: [It was a relative of mine who was admitted to the ICU, not my family. I filmed this to expose Qi Gu’s ugly face and didn’t want more poor people to be deceived. Sigh, the Internet nowadays, I didn’t expect to be misunderstood like this.]
As soon as this statement was made, netizens immediately praised the blogger for his righteousness, and the netizen who questioned Laozi Long Aotian was quickly criticized and deleted his comment and closed private messages.
