Chapter 223 Mother and Son
Her exposed skin was charred black, obviously she was burned to death.
Li Zhi's eyes then fell on her bulging belly, and then looked at the baby in her arms. It was indeed the mother and child.
It’s no wonder that the other party couldn’t solve the problem and could only lure her here temporarily.
The female ghost didn't say anything, but the baby in her arms suddenly opened his eyes and giggled, the sound was extremely shrill.
Li Zhi raised his hand and directly struck the ghost baby with a golden rune, making him shut up. "Don't disturb others in the middle of the night."
Ghost baby: “…”
The red-clothed ghost's expression tightened. She finally realized that she was not an ordinary person. She subconsciously took a step back and asked in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?"
Li Zhi folded his arms, raised his fair chin slightly, and replied: "I am here to help you."
The red-clothed female ghost was a little surprised, thinking that she was here to capture her. "Why are you helping me?"
"Because you always show up here so late at night, you've seriously disturbed the residents here. No one can sleep well at night." Li Zhi paused, his eyes fixed on the door of 401 behind her, and said, "The person who hurt you is your husband, right?"
The red-clothed female ghost was stunned when she heard this, then reacted, "How did you know?"
Li Zhi didn't answer her question and continued, "Your husband isn't in here. He deliberately led you here."
"But I can sense his presence inside..." said the female ghost in red.
"So I said he deliberately led you here," Li Zhi explained. "I've been inside Room 401. There were clothes stained with his scent, and there were talismans stuck to the inside of the door that could temporarily prevent you from entering. Those things made you mistakenly believe he was hiding in there."
"And I've asked around, and it seems your husband only showed up on the first day we rented this room, and he probably hasn't been here since."
"Apparently this is the place he used to lure you here and get rid of you."
The red-clothed ghost didn't completely believe what she said, "Then can you take me in to have a look?"
Li Zhi nodded, "Of course."
After she finished speaking, she stepped over the female ghost in red and walked directly through the wall into Room 401.
Li Zhi turned around, destroyed all the things on the door with a wave of his hand, and then reached out to open the door.
She looked at the female ghost in red standing outside the door and said, "Come in."
The female ghost in red could feel that the barrier that blocked her from entering had disappeared, and her vigilance towards Li Zhi dissipated a lot, and then she walked in.
Li Zhi closed the door, turned on the living room light, walked over to the sofa and sat down, "Take a look for yourself."
The female ghost in red didn't say anything and walked straight towards the master bedroom.
After taking a look around inside, she found that it was just as Li Zhi said. The aura she had been sensing came from the two pieces of clothing in the closet.
The red-clothed female ghost walked out of the room, stopped in front of Li Zhi, and asked, "Can you really help me?"
Li Zhi hummed, raised her hand and patted the seat next to her, motioning her to sit down, "No hurry, tell me about your story first."
The red-clothed ghost was silent for a few seconds, then slowly sat down beside her, holding the child. "My name is Yu Wei. When I was seven months pregnant, a month ago, a fire suddenly broke out in my house in the middle of the night. I was burned to death."
"After I became a ghost, it wasn't until I saw my husband Duan Qian and my supposed good friend Qiao Sisi together that I learned from them that the fire I thought was not an accident."
"Duan Qian took advantage of the fact that he was away on a business trip and the nanny and I were the only ones at home. He bribed the nanny and instructing her to set fire in the middle of the night while I was asleep."
Yu Wei paused, then lowered her eyes to look at the baby in her arms with a complicated expression. She slowly said, "Not only that, I also learned that the child in my belly might not be his. No wonder he was so cruel, not only ignoring his own child but also setting fire to us both."
"He and I have been together since high school. We went to Beijing together for college. After graduation, we started a company together. Our business has been doing better and better. We gradually took root in Beijing and bought a big house of our own."
"Qiao Sisi was also my college roommate. I saw that she hadn't found a suitable job after graduation, so I recruited her to our company."
"She is very beautiful and knows how to dress well. She was like a goddess in school and had many admirers."
"At the time, I was completely focused on my work, thinking only about making the company better and better and earning more money. So, I often neglected Duan Qian. I think that's when they hooked up."
"I still remember when Duan Qian first met her, he jokingly said, 'One day I'll dress up like her and show her to him.' I didn't think much of it at the time, but now I think about it, I'm afraid he's had other ideas since then."
"Later, the company secured a big deal, and we organized a celebration for all the employees. I was very happy that day, and I felt I was getting closer and closer to what I wanted. Because he was there, I had no worries. I drank quite a bit and got drunk."
"When I woke up in the middle of the night, I found myself not at home, but alone in a hotel room. I was naked and feeling unwell. It was obvious that I had just experienced that kind of thing."
"I naturally assumed I had done it with him while drunk, so after I got dressed and packed up, I called him and asked him where he had been."
"After two phone calls, he finally answered. He said he was a little hungry and had driven out for a midnight snack. He asked me what I wanted to eat and asked me to pack it up for me."
"Now I know that he didn't go out for a midnight snack at all, but was in the next room with Qiao Sisi."
At this point, the hatred in Yu Wei's eyes grew even stronger. "Not only that, the person who did that to me wasn't him, but Qiao Sisi took advantage of Duan Qian being at her place and found someone to have sex with me while I was drunk and unconscious. She even took pictures."
"Not long after that, I found out I was pregnant. Duan Qian was very happy when he first found out. After all, he thought the child was his, so he proposed to me. We got our marriage certificate and became a legal couple."
"But soon, I found that he was not so happy anymore."
"I didn't think much of it, thinking he had just become a father and hadn't fully adapted to his new role yet."
"One day, he suddenly told me to stay home and take care of my pregnancy, and that he would take care of all the company matters."
