Chapter 169 Falling into a Trap
"This is..." Shan Yun frowned slightly. She subconsciously felt a little repulsed by this strange man who came with her sister. If she had to give a reason, it was probably because she really didn't like the gloomy look in this man's eyes.
After being interrupted by my sister, I forgot to ask what Ning Hanqi meant by what he just said.
"I asked him to help you solve your current predicament. His surname is Zhang." The Shan family's sister said to the seemingly ordinary man, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Zhang."
"No trouble." The man surnamed Zhang had a string of Buddhist beads hanging on his wrist. Each bead was engraved with Sanskrit, but these Sanskrit words were filled with red liquid, which inexplicably gave people a weird and uncomfortable feeling.
Of course the cup wouldn't fall down by itself, and the culprit huddled in the corner like a child who had done something wrong.
The main reason is that Xia Yingnuan’s mind is in a mess now. After all, she just learned a secret that she didn’t know during her lifetime.
Senior... likes me?
Like, like...
Xia Yingnuan had a dull expression, but the corners of her mouth couldn't be controlled from turning upwards, even if she tried to pull them back with her hands.
In fact, she had never told anyone, including her best friend Qian Youyu, that a long time ago, when they met for the first time, and when the senior student pulled her and her suitcase out of the ditch, she knew at the first sight that he was her first secret crush in life.
That time... It was really embarrassing when I think about it. Their first meeting was not as beautiful as a fairy tale, but she ended up losing face.
Thinking back to when the university had just started, her parents were too busy as usual to send her off. The family driver's wife had just given birth and needed to be taken care of, so she didn't ask anyone to go with her. Anyway, the school was in the city, so the self-reliant Xia Xiaonuan dragged two large suitcases to school alone.
When she thought about it, she felt that she was so stupid at that time. It was so dangerous. What if she fell headfirst on a rock?
My senior said the same thing to me. She ignored her high-end suit and went into the ditch to pull myself out. Seeing that I was frightened and crying pitifully, she stayed with me for a long time.
Later, the senior sister attended the opening ceremony as a specially invited alumnus of the school. Only then did she know that the kind and beautiful sister was a senior sister who was several years older than her. She had a very powerful status and was occasionally invited to give lectures to students of the School of Economics and Management.
As for herself, she was from the School of Arts, and in order to see her senior classmates, she shamelessly competed with students from the School of Business and Management for a seat every now and then.
And at the bottom of her suitcase, there is still a thick stack of love letters that she dared not send out.
However, the disgusting things her parents did later made her feel more and more ashamed, and she gradually realized the gap between herself and the other party in all aspects. Moreover, there were too many outstanding people around the senior sister at that time, so she hid this secret love in her heart, and her usual communication was limited to the identity of senior sister and junior sister.
Until her family ran into problems, the company was facing bankruptcy, and her parents wanted to marry her to an older man, she jumped directly from the second floor of her villa and tried to escape.
As expected, she sprained her ankle, and as she was limping out, she happened to bump into her senior.
It was her senior who found her, took her home, found a doctor to treat her foot, and finally... gave her a prenuptial agreement...
She thought... that was because the senior sister felt sorry for her, so the senior sister used her marriage to save her and completely pulled her out of the suffocating quagmire. Her parents no longer had any means to control her... or everything was blocked by the senior sister.
Thanks to the kindness of her senior, Xia Yingnuan, no matter how carefree she was, did not dare to ask for more. She hesitated about some things until today.
But! On the eighth day after her death, she learned from others that her senior also liked her!
If she were still alive, she would immediately dig out her inventory and recite a ten-thousand-word love letter to her senior on the spot. Of course, she has to do this kind of confession herself!
Xia Yingnuan's sparkling eyes fell on Ning Hanqi, hoping to get a positive answer from her, but...
"Don't talk nonsense!" Ning Hanqi's tone was more serious than Xia Yingnuan had ever heard before, even a little impatient.
"..." Was it just nonsense? Xia Yingnuan felt like her mood had suddenly plummeted to the bottom, like a roller coaster ride.
But Lan Yujing understood what Ning Hanqi meant. She said, "If you don't want me to go to your wife's grave to complain, you must let me help you with what you do!"
The misunderstood Xia Yingnuan was like a salted fish that had lost its dreams, hanging on the window, with her head and half of her body outside. She needed the cold wind to clear her mind.
Shameful! She actually thought that the senior liked her... Fortunately, she was in a soul state that no one could see, otherwise if she really confessed her feelings, she could just jump right from here.
"Hey! We can talk about anything! Don't move!"
There was a noisy sound coming from below the hospital. Xia Yingnuan didn't pay attention at first, after all, no one could see her. She was still there grieving, but the shouting below never stopped, which was very annoying. From the content... it seemed like someone was going to commit suicide?
It’s so good to be alive, don’t be too pessimistic.
With the idea that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, Xia Yingnuan raised her head to see who wanted to jump off the building. Maybe she could help someone at the critical moment.
But she was stunned when she saw the person below her. Why was it the heroine, Kou Zishu?! And the direction she was looking at... no matter how she looked, it was always herself!
Aaaaah! The bandage on her left eye has come off!
Kou Zishu thought that the "person" was going to jump off the building to commit suicide. Seeing that the other party was still standing there, he judged the location and immediately rushed to the inpatient department and knocked hard on the door of the high-level VIP ward.
Lan Yujing opened the door and saw Kou Zishu, who was panting, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"What's the matter with you asking me? Can't you see that someone is about to jump off the building?!" Kou Zishu was so anxious that he didn't care about his attitude.
"Jump off the building? There are only me and the other patients in the ward. No one wants to jump off the building. Did you find the wrong person?" Lan Yujing looked puzzled.
As a result, Kou Zishu fell into self-doubt. Did she really make the wrong choice?
"Is it convenient for me to go in and take a look? I'm a policeman." Kou Zishu opened his ID to prove his identity and showed that he had no ill intentions.
Lan Yujing frowned and turned back to ask Ning Hanqi. After getting a positive answer, he stepped aside to let Kou Zishu in.
How strange...
Kou Zishu opened the window and observed the location. She was sure that this was the place where she had just seen the woman hanging outside.
"That's right, this is it..." Kou Zishu looked around the entire ward with sharp eyes, trying to find any trace of a third person, but there was none.
"What are you looking for, Miss Police? Our patient still needs to rest."
"Sorry, I just saw a woman hanging from this window and thought she was going to jump off the building, so I got a little anxious?"
"What?" Lan Yujing's eyes were filled with confusion, surprise, and horror.
There was only confusion in the patient's eyes. From this aspect, there was nothing abnormal between the two people.
Wait, this patient looks so familiar...it's Director Ning's sister! They really look alike!
Kou Zishu stood up straight reflexively and said to Ning Hanqi, "Sorry to bother you!"
"It doesn't matter."
Kou Zishu left with full of doubts, leaving Lan Yujing with infinite fear.
"Is that guy a little crazy? A woman hanging on the window, it's like a ghost story... Lao Ning, why don't you change the ward? I feel like it's suddenly a little cold here."
At this moment, Xia Yingnuan quietly crawled out from under the bed, crossed the ward and caught up with Kou Zishu.
How strange...
Kou Zishu was very sure that she was not mistaken. She had always been the best in all training in her previous team, including shooting training. Her eyesight was unmatched in the entire team, and it was even more impossible for such a big person to be mistaken.
"Glaglag..." Not far away, a nurse was pushing a cart forward. Kou Zishu subconsciously prepared to avoid her, but she found that except herself, no one was avoiding the nurse!
Kou Zishu was about to speak when suddenly a cold hand covered her mouth.
"Don't talk, if you don't want to be taken away as a psychopath."
"Go forward. Don't be surprised no matter what happens. If you can't accept it, you can move aside."
A mysterious voice sounded from behind her, and Kou Zishu was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. If it was an enemy just now, it would be enough to take her life!
Fortunately, the other party had no ill intentions...
Just as she thought of this, Kou Zishu suddenly opened her eyes wide, because she saw the nurse pushing the cart passing through the bodies of all the people who met her head-on.
"Don't look at her, move forward." The mysterious voice reminded again, and this time, the cold hand covering her mouth disappeared.
Kou Zishu walked forward cautiously. This time, she followed the instructions of the mysterious voice carefully and did not look away.
When she brushed past the nurse, Kou Zishu felt herself enveloped by a cold aura, just like the strange thing she encountered last time when she caught a tomb robber.
No! The clothes this nurse is wearing and her car are definitely not products of this era!
When the sound of the nurse pushing the cart gradually faded away, the mysterious voice appeared again.
"Let's find a place where there's no one."
"Who are you?" Kou Zishu was very wary of the person who had never shown up behind her.
"Puff!" The mysterious man suddenly laughed. "Alright, alright, stop talking. Didn't you see how he was looking at you?"
Kou Zishu raised her head and saw a person not far away looking at her with strange eyes. Kou Zishu's face turned red immediately and she left in a hurry.
After hurriedly returning to the car, Kou Zishu sat in the driver's seat.
"are u there?"
"Yes~"
A frivolous voice suddenly appeared beside him, and Kou Zishu almost pulled the steering wheel off.
I don't know when a young woman sat in the passenger seat, and I even felt that she looked familiar.
"You are the one who was about to jump off the building!"
"Haha... Miss Kou, I'm not going to jump off the building, you misunderstood!"
"That action is very dangerous! Even if you don't intend to jump off the building, if you accidentally fall, it will be too late to regret!" Kou Zishu habitually entered the teaching mode.
"Okay, Miss Police, I know I was wrong." Xia Yingnuan subconsciously cowed the police, but she realized the next second that something was wrong! This was not the original plan! How could she be manipulated by the heroine?
"Then...what was that just now? And who are you?" Kou Zishu's eyes were sharp, with a sense of oppression.
"Well, well... I'm just a cute and innocent ghost~"
Xia Yingnuan tried hard to open her eyes wide, hoping that the policewoman could see the innocence in her eyes.
The day hasn't even ended yet, how come they are all dead?
There is a strange force that is draining the vitality of these plants. These plants died so quickly, one can imagine what would happen to the humans staying here. Shan Yun made the right decision to let the employees go home.
Shan Yun frowned, "Master Zhang, I'm counting on you."
"Let the second young lady take me to see the areas where she thinks there are problems." Zhang Xu was still worried that Shan Yun's "inspiration" would cause trouble for him.
Of course Shan Yun couldn't sense anything, but after coming in, Xia Yingnuan could already sense the source of some dirt. Ning Hanqi then gave Shan Yun a hint.
