Chapter 203: Want Him
"During these four years, I don't know how Gu Yu's adoptive parents found him. The couple came many times and made trouble many times. I clearly remember how they held a bottle of wine and forced Gu Yu to give them money. I also clearly remember the scene on the overpass that day when his adoptive parents fell into the river..."
Feng Zhibai picked up a piece of tripe, as if he was listening to a storyteller, his expression changing unpredictably with what Fang Ning said.
When she heard her say that Gu Yu's parents fell into the river, her hand shook and the tripe fell into the pot.
Chen Xiaodao picked up some vegetables and put them in the non-spicy pot. He raised his voice in confusion, "Did Gu Yu's adoptive parents commit suicide? On the Qinghai Overpass?"
Fang Ning shook her head, a pale face creeping up on her face: "It wasn't suicide, it was a slip."
"That morning, his adoptive parents called Gu Yu and said they were on the overpass and that if Gu Yu didn't go, they would jump into the river and commit suicide. Gu Yu was afraid that they would really jump into the river, so he asked me for leave. I was afraid that his adoptive parents would do something to him, so I hurried after them. But when I got there, I only saw that his adoptive parents slipped off the bridge and fell into the river. To be precise, it was not suicide, but an accidental fall."
She held her head, her face grim. "I will never forget the scene at that time, let alone Gu Yu's heart-wrenching screams."
Feng Zhibai didn't know when tears welled up in his eyes.
She picked up the tripe with her chopsticks and cried, "How pitiful the baby is."
He pulled out a handkerchief and casually wiped the corners of his eyes.
Lao Mitou had picked up his chopsticks, but put them down silently after hearing what Fang Ning said.
"Gu Yu's fate is very tragic. It's the most miserable and painful fate I've ever seen. He has few relatives, no love, and all kinds of bad luck. The most pitiful thing is that he died young. God is blind to torture such a poor child."
"Master? What did you just say?"
Fang Ning thought he had misheard and looked up at Lao Mitou in surprise.
"Oh, I said Gu Yu's fate is not good."
He picked up the chopsticks again and put the dishes on the table into the pot: "To be honest, the three of us are actually here to save Gu Yu."
"ah?"
What does it mean to save the orphans?
She was a little confused.
Chen Xiaodao slid the vegetables he had picked out without even looking up: "Didn't you say he was possessed by a ghost? That's what we're dealing with."
As if hearing something incredible, Fang Ning's eyes widened and he screamed, "You, are you guys here to catch ghosts?"
"wrong!"
As soon as he said that, Feng Zhibai raised the chopsticks in his hand and made a wrong gesture.
“NONONO.”
Slamming her chopsticks on the table, she rummaged through her pockets and solemnly pulled out a business card, shoving it in front of Fang Ning. "Please don't call us ghost catchers. Allow me to introduce myself."
Feng Zhibai stood up, patting his clothes. A familiar smile flashed across his face, and he spoke in a gentle yet high-pitched voice, "I'm Feng Xianzhi, the executive owner of 'Yidian Poshi'. Our business includes drawing talismans, catching ghosts and zombies, and feng shui, fortune-telling, and housework. Our reputation has stood for tens of billions of years. Miss Fang, you can trust us unconditionally at 'Yidian Poshi'."
Looking at Feng Zhibai, whose image suddenly became taller, Fang Ning twitched his eyes and looked at the card that was pushed in front of him.
It is a business card with white letters on a black background.
All the words on the business card were very small, with only the large characters "Executive Manager Feng Zhibai" standing out.
It is obvious that the others are not important, this line of big characters is more important.
Looking up at Feng Zhibai, Chen Xiaodao actually felt inexplicably proud.
Patting his thigh, he stood up, imitating Feng Zhibai's behavior. "I'm the main force of 'One Shop Po Shi', a professional Taoist priest named Chen Xiaodao. You can call me Chen Xiaotianshi!"
"I'm the manager of 'Yidian Poshi', the fortune teller, Old Man Mi. Miss Fang, you can call me Mi Banxian."
Old Mitou raised his hands exaggeratedly and couldn't wait to introduce himself, fearing that he would be outdone by the two of them.
Fang Ning looked at the three of them, who seemed both reliable and unreliable, and laughed awkwardly. He flipped the business cards up and down for a long time before speaking softly.
"Hmm... Although it's a little too plausible, I'll still reluctantly believe it."
"Hey, don't look at us like this, we three are actually serious people."
Sitting down again, Feng Zhibai swung his sleeves and continued to pick up food with his chopsticks: "So, you think the ghosts haunting Gu Yu now are his adoptive parents?"
Fang Ning put the business card back in his pocket and nodded without hesitation while looking at the Gudong hotpot. "Yes, Gu Yu told me that a month ago, he had a recurring dream about his adoptive parents coming back to find him, calling him to the overpass every night. Gu Yu was very scared at first and told me about it. I didn't understand and couldn't help, and I wanted to find someone to take a look, but I had no channels. I thought something was wrong, but for a long time, nothing happened to Gu Yu! We both thought it was just a dream, nothing serious, so we didn't pay much attention to it."
"Until one day, over a month ago, when he didn't ask for leave or come to work, I knew something must have happened to him. I called him, but no one answered. I sent him a message, but no one replied. I couldn't find him, so I called the police, and they told me he was on the overpass and about to jump into the river to commit suicide. I rushed there, but when I arrived, he had already been taken away. That night, I was worried and went to the hospital to look for him, but the doctor told me that the police had taken him away. I went to the police station again, but they said he was out of their custody. I couldn't find him, so I went to his rented house and waited until the evening of the next day."
Feng Zhibai and the other two sat in three directions.
When they heard what Fang Ning said, they all looked at her at the same time.
What is coincidence?
This is called coincidence!
When Fang Ning arrived at the overpass, Gu Yu had already been rescued by Chen Xiaodao and sent to the hospital.
That night they wanted to summon Gu Yu's soul, so a few people dragged him to the overpass. However, Fang Ning came right after they left, and for some unknown reason they didn't meet him.
When Fang Ning went to the police station to look for someone, Gu Yu had already been dragged home by the three of them.
This is a coincidence, the probability of such a coincidence existing in reality is extremely low!
“There is no coincidence in the world.”
Feng Zhibai uttered a sigh of regret while sucking on the meat.
"What a coincidence."
Chen Xiaodao imitated her and shook his head.
Old Mitou also put down his chopsticks: "It couldn't be more coincidental."
Fang Ning had no idea what they were talking about. He took a sip of water and continued, "Although Gu Yu hasn't told me about his adoptive parents in the past few months, I can tell he must have dreamed about them again. So his decision to jump into the river today actually has nothing to do with you. It's because his adoptive parents kept looking for him, and the fear and despair accumulated over time, leading to an emotional outburst. It has nothing to do with you."
After saying this, she looked at Feng Zhibai and the other two very carefully and seriously: "If you are really masters, I would like to ask you to help her. I will pay for it."
She felt so sorry for Gu Yu.
Although I don't have the ability to help him, I might as well try my best to help him.
"Money is a small matter. I will definitely help you, but I have a request."
Seeing that they were talking about serious matters, Feng Zhibai's smile disappeared from his face and he became serious.
Fang Ning noticed her disparity and said seriously, "As long as I can do it, I promise you."
"Don't you want to hear what the request is? Perhaps this request is too much for you."
"I know you are not bad people. Gu Yu's life is harder and more tiring than mine. I hope he can live a better life than me."
"Good! I like people like you who sacrifice yourself for others and have good intentions." Clapping her hands, she laughed with satisfaction: "My request is very simple. I want Gu Yu. Are you willing to give it to me?"
Gu Yu is hiding a secret and is always haunted by resentful ghosts. Such a person must have a special fate. She is uneasy about leaving him with other people, and she must keep him by her side to feel at ease.
As if he had guessed Feng Zhibai's thoughts, Fang Ning agreed without hesitation.
"Give."
"You really give it?"
Lao Mi Tou and Chen Xiaodao didn't expect her to be so straightforward!
Fang Ning smiled. "He's worked for me for four years. He's twenty-one years old now. He's suffered so much, it's time for him to move on to a better life. If you can help him, I'll give it to you."
