Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio

  Ye Jingchen was being polite to me, but I felt uneasy all over and dryly laughed: "Uh... nothing."

  I was puzzled, I heard someone say that seeing a ghost is not all considered to be neurosis? How come Ye Jingchen seems to believe it, and from his tone, he doesn't seem surprised at all.

  "What he just said, did you hear that...... I did indeed harm him in the past. However...... it wasn't intentional, do I look like a murderer to you?" Ye Jingchen suddenly changed the subject.

  I looked out and was afraid that Ge Fei would suddenly come in. Seeing that he didn't seem to have entered, I replied to Ye Jingchen: "It doesn't look like it."

  To be honest, I think it's simply too much, of course, I couldn't say that out loud.

  "So, tell me, have you encountered something tricky?" Ye Jingchen came back around, his purpose was this all along.

  I forced a laugh and said, "No... nothing..." Although Ye Jingchen was the general manager of our company, I wasn't familiar with him. Except for work-related matters, we hardly had any private interactions. Now that he suddenly showed such concern, I couldn't help but feel suspicious, wondering if he had an ulterior motive. Moreover, he had also harmed Ge Fei before.

  "Lin Sijia, you're in a very dangerous situation right now, don't you know?!" Ye Jingchen said with some urgency.

  I really regret answering his call, now I'm feeling anxious and uneasy, it's as if many people are going to harm me. I don't have delusions of persecution. Footsteps came from outside, I thought it must be Ge Fei coming back, before Ye Jingchen could finish speaking, he hung up the phone and deleted the call record at the same time.

  Ge Fei walked into the living room and naturally sat down beside me. I asked him, intentionally or unintentionally, "Who is it?"

  He lit a cigarette and took a deep drag, seeming somewhat displeased: "Jiang Man Yun, I really don't know how she found her way here."

  "Jiang Man Yun! You also have a leg with her!" I was so shocked that my eyeballs almost popped out, and I blurted out shamelessly.

  Jiang Manyun, she's the daughter of our company's chairman, that spoiled rich girl who always looks down on me.

  Ge Fei's face suddenly turned black: "What is meant by having a leg, is she single-mindedly good?"

  I snorted, imitating Ge Fei's tone when he usually scolded me: "Hey! Unrequited love, everyone has found their way to your doorstep? Let me tell you, if I were beaten as a third wheel, I..."

  "You... how are you!" Ge Fei spat out a mouthful of smoke and said with a hint of a smile.

  I waved away the smoke, gritted my teeth and said: "I'll castrate you!" The reason I'm so angry is that I know Jiang Man Yun's abilities all too well. She's gentle and lovely to men, but if she gets angry with a woman... haha... she'll definitely beat her half to death. Maybe I'm lucky, she doesn't like me, yet she didn't beat me half to death.

  I wasn't a quiet and gentle lady to begin with. When I was with Ge Fei before, I was just like this too, occasionally blurting out foul language.

  "Hey, are you kidding me? You want to castrate me and spend the rest of your life in loneliness? Hehe, if you're jealous, just say so! Am I right? I won't laugh at you. A handsome guy like me, charming and elegant, it's normal that you can't forget about me..." Ge Fei not only didn't get angry but instead started to boast with a smile on his face.

  I was speechless and glanced at him: "What did Jiang Man Yun want from you?"

  "She's actually looking for you!" Ge Fei said with a serious face.

  I was bewildered: "What does she want from me? Is it just because I didn't go to work that she came all the way here to beat me up? How did she know I was here? Did you tell her?"

  Ge Fei looked innocent: "Am I sick? She has confessed to me over a dozen times, and I don't even have time to avoid her. How would I tell her where I live?"

  "Ye Jingchen! It must be Ye Jingchen! He did it on purpose! What does he want to do? Ugh!" Before Ge Fei could finish speaking, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning deathly pale.

  I looked at him and saw that he was like a dying man. I was shocked and exclaimed, "Ge Fei! What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

  "Somebody... somebody has done something to Jiang Man Yun's body, trying to frame me for murder." Ge Fei said to me with difficulty.
