Chapter 049 Jinjiang First Release
Dean Feng stared at Bai Mian in a daze. Suddenly, his eyes rolled back and he fell backwards and fainted. This scared all the children present. Several counseling teachers rushed forward to maintain order. Someone called the emergency number and the emergency personnel rushed to the scene and carried Dean Feng away.
The deputy director came over and said to Li Mo and his wife, "I'm very sorry, something unexpected happened. Our director Feng is usually in good health, and I don't know what happened today. However, even if she is not here, we can still go through the adoption procedures normally. Do you two want to do it today?"
"Of course." Li Mo nodded, firmly held Lingling's hand, and led her to the office.
After a while, the couple came out of the office holding the child. Shi Xingye had an adoption certificate in his hand. Li Mo looked at Qingqing's sparkling eyes and kissed her little face. At first, she didn't notice the child in the crowd, but after the gift-giving incident, she loved the child more and more.
"Master, thank you so much. You had already calculated the three divinations for today, but you still made an exception to help us." Li Mo said to Bai Mian gratefully.
Shi Xingye took out a bulging red envelope from his pocket: "Master, we can't let you come here for nothing. Here is a little gift from us. Please accept it!"
Bai Mian quickly waved his hand: "It's just a simple gesture, no need to be so polite."
Despite their repeated politeness, Bai Mian still refused to accept the red envelope. After all, she came here just to establish a good relationship. If she tried to gain some profit from it, things would become tainted. Seeing Bai Mian's firm attitude, Li Mo and his wife had no choice but to give up.
They came out of the orphanage and got in the car again. Mr. and Mrs. Li Mo first sent Bai Mian back to Ci Xin Tang, and then drove back to their home.
After Bai Mian returned to the store, Weng Xuhua and Gao Jin had already prepared the meal. The two elderly people were sitting at the dining table, smiling and waiting for her to eat. Bai Mian temporarily suppressed her worries, put on a relaxed expression, and finished dinner with the two elderly people and Yin Yin.
After dinner, Bai Mian returned to her room on the second floor. She sat at the table, solemnly stretched out her left hand, and placed two fingers of her right hand on her pulse.
She wants to check her own pulse.
This was the first time Bai Mian tried to check her own pulse after coming down the mountain. To be more precise, she wanted to check Zhou Xinyu's pulse. She used to think that Zhou Xinyu just died accidentally, so she was not curious about Zhou Xinyu's life. Now that she found something strange, she wanted to find out the truth.
However, Bai Mian was not completely sure. Now that she was the one occupying this body, she didn't know if she could still see Zhou Xinyu's fate by taking her pulse. She had no choice but to try.
Bai Mian closed her eyes and felt her own pulse carefully. Some scattered fragments appeared in her mind, and she saw Zhou Xinyu's past.
After an incense stick of time, Bai Mian opened his eyes, and the system's voice sounded as expected:
"Report to the host, you have gained 40 points of good karma today. The current good karma value is: 190."
In addition to the three fortune-tellings today, Bai Mian also received ten points for helping Li Mo and his wife adopt Xixi. She did not care about these, but took the initiative to make a request to the system:
"Ling Di, I want to awaken my next ability in advance."
Bai Mian wants to help Zhou Xinyu avenge herself, but she currently only has the ability to open her third eye, which is far from enough, so she needs to awaken the next ability in advance.
"Please wait a moment—"
The system started to work quickly: "It has been detected that the host has triggered a special event. The new skill has been activated for you in advance. Please check——"
A flash of light flashed on the tip of Bai Mian's right index finger, and the system's voice sounded immediately:
"Congratulations to the host for awakening the ability: Hypnosis. After unlocking this skill, as long as the host looks directly into the eyes of the target person and snaps his finger, the target person will enter a hypnotic state and obey all the host's instructions."
After she finished speaking, the system's voice disappeared. Bai Mian looked at her fingertips and thought for a moment. After a while, a complete revenge plan appeared in her mind.
She put on a gray-black coat, a pair of thin gloves, tiptoed downstairs, walked out of the Cixin Hall, and took a taxi to the orphanage. It was night time, the children had all gone to bed, and there was only one teacher on duty at the orphanage.
The teacher on duty was dozing off in the office. After seeing Bai Mian, she recognized that this was the fortune teller who had come during the day. Mr. and Mrs. Li Mo attached great importance to Bai Mian, so she did not dare to neglect him and immediately perked up to deal with Bai Mian.
"Master Bai, why are you here so late?" She greeted Bai Mian with a smile.
Bai Mian pretended to apologize and said, "Your dean fainted today. I felt very uneasy after returning home, so I wanted to ask about her condition. Could it be that she fainted because she saw me?"
Bai Mian asked knowingly, and the teacher on duty hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Look at what you said, how could it be possible! You and Dean Feng don't know each other, how could she faint after just one look at you? Don't worry, this has nothing to do with you!"
Bai Mian pressed on: "Then why did Dean Feng faint? The more you don't tell me, the more uneasy I feel. So, what hospital is Dean Feng in? I'll buy a fruit basket and go see her!"
"Oh, don't go!" The teacher on duty immediately stopped him. Seeing Bai Mian was so persistent, she had to tell the truth, "Master Bai, to be honest with you, I'm a newcomer, and I don't know the details, but I heard our colleagues talking about the reason why Dean Feng fainted."
"They said you look a lot like a former student here. That girl was going to be 18 soon and was about to leave the orphanage, but for some unknown reason, she died in an accident. Her funeral was handled by our director. When you came today, Director Feng thought he had seen a ghost when he first saw you! Now, he fainted."
"Director Feng is still in the hospital. She just woke up and the doctor told her to have a good rest. If you go to visit her, she will be even more frightened. You must not go. Go home. This has nothing to do with you!"
After the teacher on duty finished speaking, she thought Bai Mian would leave, but unexpectedly, Bai Mian walked up to her, looked directly into her eyes, and snapped his fingers at her. She instantly lost consciousness.
"Sleep, sleep, have a good dream, you haven't seen anyone tonight."
Bai Mian whispered in her ear that the teacher on duty staggered to the desk like a puppet being controlled, bent over and fell asleep.
After she fell asleep, Bai Mian turned on the office computer on the table, entered the orphanage's internal system, opened the work groups one by one, read the group notifications, and found out the hospital where Director Feng was.
After getting the information she wanted, Bai Mian turned off the computer and left the office. She wore gloves throughout the operation and did not leave any fingerprints. She also noticed that the orphanage's surveillance had been broken for a long time and was just a decoration.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Bai Mian's lips. She wrapped her coat tightly around her and strode out of the orphanage.
After nightfall, the entire Qingshui Town becomes quiet, with only one place still noisy, that is Fangcao Street in Qingshui Town. This street is full of nightclubs, and you can hear noisy DJ dance music as soon as you step in.
In a KTV called "Dahlia", several men were surrounding a gorgeously dressed woman and forcing her to drink. The woman was drunk to the point of being unconscious and sitting powerlessly on the sofa. Just as the men were preparing to attack her, she suddenly began to convulse all over and vomit violently, vomiting all over the box. The men pushed her out in disgust and asked her to vomit outside.
The woman walked drunkenly to the door of the KTV, squatted on the ground, put her fingers into her throat and cleared her throat, then vomited skillfully. After vomiting, her eyes suddenly became much clearer, and she was completely different from just now. Obviously, she was pretending to be drunk just now, just to prevent those stupid men from taking advantage of her. As a nightclub hostess, she was already very familiar with this routine.
She thought back to the male customers just now, smiled contemptuously, lit a cigarette and took a deep puff. She had coaxed those men into buying so much alcohol, and those men would not let her go just like that. She only had time for this cigarette.
In the smoke that was sometimes thick and sometimes thin, a gray-black figure approached her. The woman squatting on the ground didn't pay any attention and moved aside, secretly complaining in her heart that she had never seen anyone dressed so poorly in a nightclub.
The gray-black figure kicked the cap of the beer bottle on the ground and kicked the cap to the woman's feet. The woman noticed this provocative move and tilted her head to look at the figure.
The figure also noticed her gaze, took off his hat, and revealed his face.
The moment she saw this face, the woman was distracted slightly, and the cigarette between her fingers fell, landing on her feet and burning her.
"Ouch!" The woman cried out instinctively, flicked the half-smoked cigarette off her feet, and turned her attention back to the person who came.
The woman's lips moved a few times, and she thought for a long time before she said the name: "...Zhou...Zhou Xinyu?!"
Bai Mian neither confirmed nor denied it, but looked at her quietly with deathly eyes.
The woman stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Bai Mian, then sat down on the ground, holding her stomach and laughing crazily:
"Zhou Xinyu, how could I see you? Didn't you die a long time ago? It seems I really drank too much today. Ugh, I need to go vomit again."
The woman cleared her throat again, and there was nothing left to vomit. Bai Mian was still standing in front of her, looking at her coldly. The woman realized something was wrong, and said tremblingly:
"No, you are not my illusion... You are real! Zhou Xinyu, are you still alive? How could you still be alive? I saw you with my own eyes..."
At this point, the woman stopped talking immediately. She glared at Bai Mian with hatred, and Bai Mian said the next words for her: "You saw me fall off the cliff and die, right?"
The woman looked at Bai Mian in confusion and took a few steps back. Bai Mian walked forward, put his lips close to her ear, and said coldly:
"Or rather, you pushed me off the cliff with your own hands and killed me alive..."
