Chapter 27 It Wasn't Him
It was five days later when Yu Zhi saw Song Nuan again. She looked exhausted and no one knew where she had come from.
Song Nuan was holding a suitcase, which was what Yu Zhi wanted.
Yu Zhi noticed that she was wearing a ring on her finger. It was an X-shaped ruby ring, which looked very unique.
Yu Zhi casually said, "The ring is quite unique."
Song Nuan paused, then said: "Thank you."
She opened the suitcase in front of Yu Zhi, and a small pistol lay quietly inside. The white gun body was carved with lavender vines. It was hard to tell what it was, but it looked strange and beautiful.
"I can't carry that box of bullets, but you can pick it up anytime at X Nightclub. Just tell the bartender what you're looking for."
Yu Zhi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "Night club? You run it."
If you can safely let someone hand over something like this, it means that at least the person has a controlling stake and is the biggest shareholder.
Song Nuan didn't hide it and said politely: "If you are interested, I will give you a card when the time comes."
Yu Zhi refused without a second thought: "No, no, my husband at home is very strict."
Song Nuan looked a little surprised and glanced at her up and down: "Are you married?"
Because Yu Zhi looked to be in her early twenties, pretty and bright, the perfect age for a woman, Song Nuan didn't expect that with her personality, she would be tied to someone so quickly.
"Yes, it's my first love."
Song Nuan was even more surprised, because Yu Zhi looked like she had many exes, but she actually had such a pure love affair.
She didn't know what to say for a moment: "It's fine."
Song Nuan picked up a small box next to the pistol, opened it and placed it next to Yu Zhi. Inside was a glass tube of transparent liquid and a syringe.
"This is what you want. One shot will work immediately, but if you're not in good physical condition, I suggest you control the dosage because the side effects are quite severe and you might not be able to handle it."
This thing is usually used by Song Nuan during interrogation. It is a very cheap tool in her system store, so she did not receive any extra benefits from Yu Zhi.
Yu Zhizhen was finding this colleague increasingly pleasing to the eye: "You're such a nice person."
Song Nuan, who was inexplicably given the nice guy card, was blocked by Yu Zhi and didn't know what to say.
**
In the top-floor office of the Bangs Consortium headquarters.
Pei Yuezhou slumped on the sofa, his long legs crossed, his slender fingers casually holding a cigarette. Thin smoke seeped out from between his lips and teeth, enveloping his outstanding facial features.
His voice was a little hoarse from the smoke: "Are you sure this isn't an act?"
Lin Zhi stood before him, holding an iPad with the newly transmitted medical report: "The doctor has confirmed that Pei Qingsong is indeed unconscious. Even when our people mentioned his precious son in front of him, he didn't react at all."
Pei Yuezhou suddenly smiled, his slightly narrowed eyes full of mockery: "What a pity! If he knew that the son he had tried so hard to hide had now become a gambler who was like a walking corpse, I wonder how funny his expression would be."
They only recently found out about Pei Wangzhi in Southeast Asia. After finding him, they discovered that his life was even worse than his father's. He was addicted to drugs and was lying on the dilapidated streets, living a life of hunger.
It's really a waste that his father prepared a large sum of money for him and paved the way for such a long time, but it didn't take long for him to fail like this.
Sure enough, mud is mud after all.
Lin Zhi: "Don't worry, sir. I've had someone repeatedly play Pei Wangzhi's recent situation in front of him. Whether he's really crazy or not, he'll definitely react after watching it more often."
Pei Yuezhou shook off the cigarette ash, but his mind inexplicably emerged the scene of Pei Wangzhi trembling and protecting him from a vicious dog when he was a child.
With the previous example of his hypocritical father as a warning, Pei Yuezhou couldn't tell how much sincerity was in Pei Wangzhi's friendship.
"Send Pei Wangzhi to a drug rehabilitation center."
He lowered his eyes slightly. Lin Zhi couldn't understand what he was thinking at the moment, but Lin Zhi was very surprised: "Just let him go like this?"
He thought that given his master's personality, letting it go was already the greatest mercy, but he didn't expect that he would actually help Pei Wangzhi.
Lin Zhi suspected he had misunderstood and asked, "Do you want some 'special care'?"
Pei Yuezhou heard Lin Zhi's subtext, he leaned back and said calmly: "No need."
Even until he left with the iPad, the look of disbelief on Lin Zhi's face had not disappeared.
Could it be that their husband had encountered some good things recently, so he was in an especially good mood? Or was it that his wife's love had finally touched him, making him decide to be less malicious towards the world?
**
When Yu Zhi came to the mental hospital again, she found that the road was smooth. The doctors and nurses were like NPCs in the game world. After seeing her face, they automatically ignored her.
Even when entering, there is someone to help open the door by scanning your face.
[Oh no, it seems your husband gave you specific instructions. Then why don't we come quietly at a different time? Otherwise, Pei Qingsong will definitely suspect you if he suddenly wakes up.]
Yu Zhi didn't take it too seriously: "Who can say for sure when a mentally ill person will wake up? Besides, given Pei Qingsong's condition, who would believe him even if he sold me out?"
Rather than absurd facts, people are more willing to believe things that seem reasonable on the surface, even if they are fabricated illusions.
When Xiaoshui heard this, she realized that this was indeed the case, so she stopped trying to persuade her.
Yu Zhi arrived at Pei Qingsong's floor without any obstruction. The bodyguards stationed on both sides greeted her tactfully: "Hello, Madam."
Someone else came forward to open the door for her.
This is much less stressful than the first time I came here.
As soon as Yu Zhi entered the door, she met a pair of unfocused eyes. Pei Qingsong's hair had turned a lot whiter, and he looked worse than the last time she saw him.
He was sitting cross-legged on the bed, drooling, and a video was playing on a huge screen in front of him.
Yu Zhi looked at it curiously for a few seconds, but was stunned on the spot.
The protagonist of the video is Pei Wangzhi, Pei Qingsong's son. She had met him once when she was just dating Pei Yuezhou.
Pei Wangzhi is not as ambitious as the other younger generations of the Pei family. He is completely a second-generation rich kid who has been taught badly. He always maxes out his credit card before the end of the month and begs Pei Yuezhou for help. In any case, Yu Zhi's first impression of him is not very good.
In the picture, he looked emaciated and huddled in a corner, as if he was ill, but Yu Zhi could tell that he was a drug addict.
Because Yu Zhi once handled a case in which she helped local high-ranking officials take down a criminal gang, she had seen too many people like this during that time.
He also personally pulled a boy who was about to go astray back from hell.
If she hadn't been reluctant to interfere in the boy's life, his later outcome would probably not be much better than Pei Wangzhi's current situation.
Xiaoshui sighed helplessly: [Master Host, you're still talking about that. You were fined by the bureau for meddling in other people's business that time.]
Yu Zhi still couldn't figure out one thing: "In the past, when I was meddling in other people's affairs, the bureau always turned a blind eye. Why did I get punished that time?"
Xiaoshui didn't respond out of guilt. In fact, it had never told Yu Zhi one thing, because the world where it was doing the mission was the same world where Yu Zhi originally lived, but it was overseas.
The reason they couldn't intervene too much was because they were returning to the past. A single word could potentially change the course of the future, hence the Bureau's outrage at Yu Zhi's willfulness.
Fortunately, the boy was just an insignificant person, otherwise the consequences would have been more serious.
Yu Zhi didn't pay much attention to this matter and quickly passed it over.
She walked towards Pei Qingsong, and before she got close, she could already smell a strong smell of urine mixed with other strange odors, which almost made her vomit out the small cake she had eaten with Song Nuan when she met her.
Xiaoshui quickly turned off the empathy mode with her: [It's really painful. ]
Yu Zhi suppressed her nausea and injected him with half a dose of medicine.
Originally, she wanted to wait and see Pei Qingsong wake up, and then say a few unpleasant words to hurt his feelings, but Yu Zhi really couldn't stay any longer, so she put away the medicine box and left the room.
Although there was a strong smell of disinfectant in the corridor, which was not pleasant, it made Yu Zhi feel that her nose was greatly relieved.
As soon as the door closed, Pei Qingsong heard a painful roar at the top of his lungs: "Ah - Pei Yuezhou! If you have anything to say, come at me, you lunatic! You lunatic! My son -"
There was also the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground.
When the bodyguards heard the sound, they hurried in to check.
He quickly called Lin Zhi and observed Pei Qingsong's condition while reporting the situation: "Mr. Lin, Pei Qingsong seems to have regained consciousness. He was so angry that he vomited blood after seeing the video. Yes, yes, the wife just passed away. Don't worry, the wife is not frightened..."
Yu Zhi didn't stop for a moment, turned a deaf ear to the noise behind her, and left the area in her high heels.
If nothing unexpected happens, this will probably be her last time to see Pei Qingsong.
What do you think about Pei Wangzhi's situation?
Isn't it always the case that the next generation will suffer the consequences? Xiaoshui always felt that it seemed a bit cruel.
"It's impossible that A Yue was the one who caused Pei Wangzhi to end up like this."
"Are you so sure? You've been absent from his life for seven years. What he's become now might not be what you see with your own eyes. Don't forget what Shen Luoyin said to you a few days ago."
Xiaoshui was not targeting Pei Yuezhou, but was too afraid that Yu Zhi would fall into a trap.
Yu Zhi: "I can't explain it to you clearly, but I just can't do it."
**
On the other side, Pei Yuezhou, after hearing Lin Zhi's report, just sat in his office chair in silence. His eyes swept across the photo frame at hand and fixed on Yu Zhi's bright smile. His eyes softened a little.
"Sir, I always feel that something is not right. Do you want to check it out?"
He whispered back, “No.”
But it sounded like he was in a better mood than before.
Lin Zhi thought so too. After all, it could help Pei Qingsong face the cruel reality soberly, which made him feel refreshed just thinking about it.
