Chapter 035 Jinjiang First Launch

"Dead?"

Hearing this, Huo Yuwei leaned forward, and a hint of emotion finally appeared in her cold eyes. Although she repeatedly claimed that she had not done these things, she still felt a little guilty after hearing the news of Zhao Xiaoai's death.

"How did she die?"

"He committed suicide by jumping off a building, just before the class reunion." Bai Mian's voice sounded somewhat sad.

"Huh..." Huo Yuwei breathed a sigh of relief. She leaned back in her chair and crossed her arms lazily. "Maybe something went wrong in life. It has nothing to do with me anyway."

"No, on the contrary," Bai Mian looked directly into Huo Yuwei's eyes, "She died because of you."

Huo Yuwei found this a little funny: "Even if I bullied her when I was a teenager, that's in the past. We were all children at that time and didn't know much. Master, think about it clearly. Zhao Xiaoai died at the age of thirty. Can you blame me for this?"

"You killed her," Bai Mian emphasized. "She has been living in the psychological shadow caused by you. This pressure accumulated day by day and finally crushed her."

"After graduating from vocational school, she found an ordinary job. Because of her experience in junior high school, she cut her long hair and kept only short hair that reached her ears. She never dared to grow it long again."

"Later, through an introduction, she met her future husband. This was perhaps a blessing in disguise. Her husband Pei Zhigang loved her very much and had been doing his best to take care of her and try to save her from the shadow of her past. In Zhao Xiaoai's repressed life, her husband became her only light."

"Zhao Xiaoai has a habit of having nightmares. Every night, she dreams of returning to the dormitory in junior high school. In her dreams, you cover her mouth and nose again and again, making it difficult for her to breathe. Every time her husband notices something wrong with her, he gently wakes her up, then holds her tightly in his arms and comforts her."

"Because she was afraid that her child would also suffer from school bullying, Zhao Xiaoai never dared to have a child. Her husband also respected her decision. For many years, they have been living together as a family."

Hearing this, Huo Yuwei rolled her eyes: "Isn't this good? Her husband treats her well, so she should just live a good life. Why does she have to seek her own death? If you ask me, it's because she is narrow-minded and holds on to the past, not appreciating her blessings!"

Bai Mian narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him, and suddenly asked: "Do you remember, before you got divorced, one time you went to a western restaurant to eat, and there was a woman outside staring at you for a long time."

Huo Yuwei thought back and said, "Yes, that's what happened. My ex-husband and I hadn't divorced yet and we were well off. It was a Sunday and I dressed up and went to a restaurant to order some red wine and snails. I ate and chatted with my bestie. We were having a great time when a passerby outside the restaurant suddenly stopped moving. She stared at me with a strange look in her eyes. I thought she was trying to sell me something, so I waved her away."

Bai Mian: "The person who was watching you that day was Zhao Xiaoai. It was this chance encounter that became the last straw that broke the camel's back."

"She saw you dressed up so beautifully and living such a comfortable life, which was totally unacceptable to her. What made her most sad was that you no longer remembered her."

Huo Yuwei burst out laughing: "She can't accept seeing that I'm living a good life. Isn't this jealousy? I was right. She is narrow-minded! She jumped off the building after seeing that I was living a life of a rich lady. But some of my classmates are CEOs! If she saw that, wouldn't she jump off the building ten times?"

Bai Mian sneered at Huo Yuwei and said, "Do you think she is as superficial as you are? What really makes her feel uncomfortable is that the evildoers live happily and forget their past, while the victims live the rest of their lives in the shadows. She cannot accept such an unfair reality. Life should not be like this."

Huo Yuwei was speechless after being told this by Bai Mian. She rubbed her hands and changed the subject: "Okay, Master, I am your client. Shouldn't you be speaking for me? Why are you criticizing me? You haven't answered the question I want to ask today. What's the matter with Jia Junwen who appeared out of nowhere? What's his relationship with the dead Zhao Xiaoai?"

"Actually, you should have guessed it by now," Bai Mian smiled, "Who else could this Jia Junwen be?"

Huo Yuwei frowned: "Master, please stop telling riddles, okay? I'm not here to play a guessing game with you!"

Seeing that Huo Yuwei still didn't understand, Bai Mian had to give her a further hint:

"Just before the class reunion, Zhao Xiaoai committed suicide by jumping off a building, leaving her husband alone, with nothing to rely on in the world."

"At this time, there was only one thing left in his mind, and that was to avenge his wife."

"Oh, I understand!" Huo Yuwei slammed the table and shouted, "The man who came after me is Zhao Xiaoai's husband, and Jia Junwen is Pei Zhigang!"

Bai Mian nodded, and Huo Yuwei patted her chest in fear: "It's terrible, this man is here for revenge, and he has been lurking beside me for so long, I almost got married to him, fortunately I found out his flaws and exposed him in advance, otherwise he would have succeeded!"

Huo Yuwei stood up and was about to leave: "Master, thank you so much for helping me escape this disaster. I'm going home now and throwing away all the things he gave me! No, I'm not going back to the low-rent housing, I'm going to move to another place!"

"Actually," Bai Mian looked up at Huo Yuwei, "you didn't escape this disaster."

"What?" Huo Yuwei was petrified. She asked in disbelief, "Master, what did you say?"

Bai Mian opened his thin lips and repeated what he had just said: "You didn't escape this disaster. He has already succeeded in his revenge."

Huo Yuwei sat down on the chair, completely dumbfounded. She asked in disbelief, "What revenge did he take? Am I not sitting here perfectly fine?"

Bai Mian: "Have you noticed that you have been coughing since you first came in?"

Huo Yuwei asked cautiously: "What's wrong with coughing? Isn't it just a cold? Who hasn't had a cold?"

Bai Mian shook his head: "That's not a cold, it's fibrosis in your lungs."

Upon hearing this word, Weng Xuhua silently closed his eyes with a "hopeless" expression on his face.

Huo Yuwei was confused: "Pulmonary fibrosis... What is that? Forget it, who cares what it is. If what you said is true, and I have a serious illness, then can't I just go to the hospital? Medicine is so advanced now, as long as it is discovered and treated early, what can't be cured?"

Huo Yuwei said this with a relaxed look on her face. She thought Bai Mian was just trying to scare her. After all, she could run and jump like nothing had happened. There was no sign of anything wrong.

Bai Mian said calmly: "Your lung fibrosis is caused by pesticides. This condition is irreversible. With the current level of medical technology, no one can cure you."

"Pesticides?" Huo Yuwei didn't believe Bai Mian any more. "How could I possibly drink pesticides? Even if I don't know about pesticides, I've read the news. Nowadays, pesticides are made extremely bitter to prevent people from accidentally eating them. They make people want to stay away from them after smelling them. It's impossible to mix them in food. I'm not stupid, so why would I drink pesticides? I think you're just making up a story, right?"

Bai Mian: "Even you know that pesticides have a strong smell. Pei Zhigang certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to let you drink them. He delivered the pesticides into your body through breathing. During the time he lived with you, he had already ensured that you inhaled enough pesticides. So he disappeared from your world and stopped replying to your messages because there was no need. His goal had been achieved."

"breathe?"

Huo Yuwei wanted to refute, but suddenly she thought of something. Her smiling face turned extremely pale in an instant. She trembled and said, "An air humidifier... There is also an air humidifier in the set of electrical appliances he gave me. He changes the water in the humidifier every day. Could it be that he added pesticides to the air humidifier?"

Lame brother helped analyze: "Pesticides have such a strong smell, even if they are added to the air humidifier, you can still smell it, right?"

Huo Yuwei shook her head in despair: "No, I only turn on the air humidifier before going to bed. He comes to add water to the humidifier every night. I am fast asleep at that time, so how can I smell what the air smells like? It's strange to say, since living with him, I sleep very deeply every night. I thought it was the effect of love before, but now it seems that he must have given me sleeping pills!"

At this point, Huo Yuwei finally believed Bai Mian's words. She took out her cell phone and searched the term "pulmonary fibrosis", which brought up a flood of news reports. Every report told her that she was doomed.

Huo Yuwei panicked all of a sudden. She knelt down in front of Bai Mian with a thud, grabbed Bai Mian's hand and begged, "Master, I believe you. What you said is true. Please, save me. Help me think of a solution. I'm still young, only in my thirties. I can't die like this. I still have a great life ahead of me! Aren't you a master of metaphysics? The doctor can't save me, but you must have a way. Please use metaphysics to save me!"

Bai Mian took back his hand: "Sorry, there's nothing I can do."

After hearing what Bai Mian said, Huo Yuwei simply lay on the ground and started to tease people: "If you don't save me, I will stay here and not leave. I am a living person dying here, let's see if you will panic or not!"

Bai Mian shrugged: "Don't worry, you won't die immediately. You only inhaled a small amount of pesticide. You still have a long time to live."

Huo Yuwei screamed crazily: "Giving me pulmonary fibrosis and letting me live for another year or two, is this a good thing? This is clearly torturing me on purpose! I can't even breathe anymore, what's the point of living? No matter how many more years I live, it's just suffering! Pei Zhigang is such a vicious bastard!"

Bai Mian tilted his head and looked at Huo Yuwei on the ground: "Vicious? It seems to be no different from what you did back then. You made Zhao Xiaoai fall into suffocation day after day, and he just retaliated in her own way."

"Why did he choose this method?" Huo Yuwei slapped the ground with all her strength. "How vicious! He actually used such a slow and torturous method. I would rather he stab me to death! This damn Pei Zhigang, he made my life worse than death, I will not let him have an easy life either. Where is he now? I want to find him, I want to report him to the police, and have him sentenced to death!"

Bai Mian: "He doesn't need to be sentenced to death. He is already dead. He committed suicide by taking poison in his old home, lying next to the photo of his late wife."

Lame Brother slapped his thigh and said, "This guy! Why is he so depressed?"

Bai Mian sighed lightly: "He is not depressed, but he wants to end his pain as soon as possible. After all, he chose this way of revenge. In the process of implementation, he will inevitably inhale pesticides. His lungs have already become fibrotic. From the beginning, he wanted to die with Huo Yuwei."

"It's so tragic..." Lame Brother was depressed for a moment.

Huo Yuwei was lying on the ground, her whole body seemed to be out of the body. She listened quietly to Bai Mian's analysis, and every word she heard was despair. Before entering the store, she was breathing smoothly, but after knowing the truth, she didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but her breathing began to become difficult, as if a large handful of black and shiny hair was slowly growing in her lungs, entwining and spreading...

"This man is a murderer, but he is also a sentimental person," lame brother sighed, "He bid farewell to this world in such a decisive way. Regardless of whether this plan succeeds or not, he doesn't plan to live anymore. Perhaps, after losing his lover, this world has no meaning to him anymore."

Bai Mian nodded. "As early as Zhao Xiaoai's funeral, Pei Zhigang wanted to go with her. However, when he was sorting out his wife's belongings, he found his wife's cell phone and saw an invitation to a class reunion on it. So a revenge plan came to his mind. Since he was going to die anyway, he planned to take the person who killed his wife to hell with him before he left."

Everyone was silent for a while, and Bai Mian said to Huo Yuwei: "By the way, by the way, your two 'subordinates' now have pulmonary fibrosis. Pei Zhigang pretended to be..."

Before Bai Mian could finish his words, Huo Yuwei burst into a scream. She covered her ears and ran out of Ci Xin Hall, and no one knew where she went.

Lame Brother looked at her from behind and laughed, "How can she care about her two subordinates? I'm afraid she only cares about her own life now! Look at how anxious she is, I guess she went to the hospital to register."

"Irreversible is irreversible. Going to many hospitals is a waste of effort."

Bai Mian stood up, poured out the cold tea in the cup, and ended the conversation.
