Past Events Are Like Yesterday

  I was so scared that I couldn't speak, my mind went blank in an instant. I numbly turned my head to look at Ge Fei, I thought I must be covered in sweat now. Damn it, the air conditioner is on in this car, and I'm actually breaking out in a cold sweat from being scared.

  "It's probably from jumping off the top floor, let's report it first." Ge Fei's calmness was a complete contrast to his expression when he heard about Xue Lang's accident yesterday. It seemed like the person who died in front of us wasn't a human being, but just an ant.

  In the meantime, he had already taken out his mobile phone and dialed the number. In less than half an hour, both the ambulance and police car arrived.

  Then we continued to rush to Cuiminyuan, Ge Fei's indifferent expression made me feel a little strange, but at that time I didn't think much about it. I thought he was just because of too many experiences and seeing too much, so he became indifferent. At least, he still cared about Xue Lang, so he was still him.

  Perhaps I should have noticed that something was wrong with him at the time, but I didn't. I still entered Cuimiao Garden with him as if nothing had happened. Cuimiao Garden is still the same as before, without any change.

  As I stepped into the familiar elevator, my mood was somewhat heavy. However, I saw that Fang Zhi's mood was even heavier, in Fang Zhi's eyes, how could Ye Xiu be so excellent, so good, if she knew the truth.

  "Don't tell my sister..." Just as they stepped out of the elevator, Fang Zhi suddenly spoke up, her expression was very conflicted, and mostly painful.

  All these years, she never went back home to see Old Master Fang once, it was all because she was afraid that Old Master Fang would get hurt. According to her, after her sister was killed back then, she pretended to be controlled by He Lanxue and the others, and the harm they did to her sister was also for the sake of preserving her sister's soul.

  Before meeting Fang Zhi Ling, I still had some doubts about what Fang Zhi Xuan said, but after meeting Fang Zhi Ling... or rather, after meeting Fang Zhi Ling and He Yi Chu, it turned out that what Fang Zhi Xuan said was indeed true.

  I pulled out the key and inserted it into the lock, having not been here for many days, I don't know if the house is full of dust.

  "Hey! Why won't it open?" I turned it several times in a row, but the anti-theft door didn't respond at all.

  Ge Fei furrowed his brow and snatched the key from my hand, turning it several times, but the bright anti-theft door didn't respond at all. Ge Fei pulled out the key and asked me, "Did your landlord change the lock and rent it to someone else?"

  ”

  "It's impossible, my lease hasn't expired yet and the landlord won't rent it to someone else. Moreover, with those few big moms in the neighborhood who have a three-inch tongue that never gets rotten, and their spreading speed, this house is probably not going to be rented out." I immediately denied it.

  Ge Fei's face was filled with discontent: "Lin Si Jia, are you naive or stupid? In this day and age, what can't those black-hearted landlords do?"

  "But I've been gone for less than a month, how could it be rented out so quickly? Impossible!" I raised my tone, denying again.

  "Whatever, whatever. Let's just open the door first." Ge Fei said with a "I'm too lazy to bother with you" expression, while rummaging through his pocket and pulling out a card.

  Then I saw him lightly insert it, and the anti-theft door opened! Damn, that's an anti-theft door. I was surprised and puzzled: "Ge Fei... are you a professional thief?"

  "Are you kidding me? Haven't you seen the news? This broken anti-theft door can be opened with just a little effort, nothing to worry about. You should watch more news, geez... All day watching soap operas, your brain is getting worse and worse." Ge Fei was a person who had no other redeeming qualities except for being able to infuriate people with his words.

  And he didn't even give me a chance to speak, before I could say anything, he kicked the door open with a bang. Then he walked in with a very bad temper, I think his temper has been getting worse and worse lately, don't know what's wrong with him.

  "You've come... how was it? Fang Zhiyan, you've been running for a lifetime, but you still can't escape." We hadn't even entered the door when we heard He Yichu's voice.

  Fang Zhi's face changed, and he rushed in hastily. We three also followed him in a hurry. As soon as I entered the door, I was stunned by everything in front of me. The whole room was like a dog den, no... it couldn't be said to be a dog den, this was more like a murder scene. He Yichu stood beside the sofa with a cold smile, Fang Zhi's half-transparent soul lay on the ground, and after seeing Fang Zhi, bloody tears slowly flowed from his eyes, he opened his mouth as if wanting to say something but couldn't speak.

  At this moment, he looked no different from usual, but the evil spirit in his eyes made people inexplicably afraid. I couldn't help but take a step back, and Ge Fei pulled me back, whispering in my ear: "Don't be afraid, it's daytime now..."

  I raised my eyes to look at him, and Ge Fei had a gentle and elegant expression again. It's said that women can change their faces faster than flipping through books, but I think men are the same. Ge Fei's speed of changing his face is simply the speed of light.

  I didn't respond, I just slowly shifted my gaze to He Yi Chu, who walked out from behind the sofa with his arms around him, a sly smile floating on the corner of his mouth: "Zhi Pan, you weren't trying to escape, so why did you come back?"

  Fang Zhi Pan stood beside me, her hands clenched into fists, with fresh blood oozing out from between her fingers. Her beautiful eyes were filled with hatred, and her entire body was trembling. Transparent tears slid down from the corners of her eyes as she gritted her teeth and said: "You... what did you do to her? What exactly did you do to her? You promised me that if I followed your instructions, you would let her go! He Wei Chu, you bastard!"

  In the end, Fang Zhi Xi was almost hysterical. It could be seen that she cared about this younger sister very much. And Fang Zhi Ling seemed to have also known the truth, the pain in her eyes became more and more intense, she wanted to say something but couldn't open her mouth.

  He slowly walked to Fang Zhi's front, the tenderness in his eyes was so obvious, but more of it was that kind of evil spirit from the evil spirit: "Are you obedient? If you are obedient, why did you seal yourself in a photo album for five years? If you are obedient, how could you abandon our daughter for so many years without care?"

  "I just don't want to harm anyone!" Fang Zhiyan said, enunciating each word slowly, as if intentionally lowering her voice. As for why she had mentioned "daughter" earlier, Fang Zhiyan's body had clearly trembled at the time.

  "Why are you smiling so wistfully? You're lying! You don't want to abandon our daughter just because she's the child of us, not the child of you and He Lan Ye. In the past when you stayed by my side, you said it was for your sister, for your father. Don't dare say you never thought of avenging He Lan Ye, there were several times when you wanted to kill me!"

  Fang Zhi smiled coldly and said: "So, you all knew."

  "Yes, I do hate you. I hate you for causing Helan brother's death! I hate you! If it weren't for you, Helan brother wouldn't have died. So, I want to kill you, but I'm very clear that if I kill you, my sister will never see the light of day again."

  "You think I killed He Lan Ye? Yes, at first I hated him. I was resentful. He was just a shallow and stinky Taoist priest, but you...you willingly followed him. You even came close to me on purpose for his sake, wanting my life! Do you think I didn't know? I'm telling you, I knew everything!" He Yi Chu said this with tears in his eyes, looking completely different from the day before.

  I somehow felt a little sympathy for him, although he was a zombie, but... if Fang Zhiyuan had really approached him with the intention of taking his life back then, it would indeed be somewhat cruel.

  After hearing He Yi's words, Fang suddenly knew that Wang's face turned pale and silent for a moment before answering: "Yes, at first, I approached you... indeed it was to... Brother He Lan needed to make a name for himself at the time, so I... But later on, I didn't harm you, and I also advised Brother He Lan. He said he wouldn't hurt you. He didn't hurt you, why did you kill him? Why?"

  "Do you really think I killed him?" He Yichu's eyes were filled with an even deeper sorrow: "I have never harmed him, even when he wanted to kill me, I let him go time and time again, because I promised you... But do you know what he did? He killed Qing'er, Qing'er was innocent, Qing'er was my only family member, she didn't understand anything, she had just woken up, although she was a zombie, but she never harmed anyone. Why did He Lan Ye kill her?! Just because we are zombies, does that mean we deserve to die?!"

  What he said made me inexplicably uncomfortable, and I even felt that what happened back then was indeed excessive. From what he said, the one called Qing Er should be his sister. Thinking about it, it's really pitiful.

  Fang Zhi was silent for a long time, with a hint of guilt: "I didn't know about this matter, I didn't think he would kill Qing Er. Sorry..."

  Fang Zhi's tone was no longer as tough as before, and between words, she closed her eyes, tears streaming down from the corners of her eyes, continuously.

  "The ones who wronged you are me and He Lan, brother. Whatever anger you have, direct it at me if you must. Why did you harm my sister? You were so cruel to her; she's innocent, just like Qing Er." As soon as he mentioned Fang Zhi Ling, Fang Zhi Wan's confidence slightly increased.

  "What's so funny? You think I'm easy to deal with? If I had made a move, you would have been dead thirty years ago. You wouldn't have achieved your current level of cultivation. Do you think I don't know that you've been working tirelessly to kill me? Do you think I'm unaware?

  And let me tell you, He Lan Ye was killed by his own brother, He Lan Xue. He Lan Xue practiced dark magic, absorbing human souls to increase his power. When he found out that He Lan Ye had the zombie blood and Qing Er's blood, he killed him to obtain it for himself, using it to enhance his own cultivation.

  He Lan Xue became a zombie because he absorbed Qing Er's blood. Zombie blood is like ice; if not for the love between two people, one would surely die, or else become a demon. That was their own doing, and had nothing to do with me. But you... in your heart, I've never been a good person, have I?"

  This finally made him furious, his grievances turned into flames of anger, and at this moment he completely exploded.

  Fang Zhi's body shook violently, this time even more severely than before. He stared blankly at He Yi Chu, speechless and silent.

  Fang Zhi Ling, who was lying on the ground, also had a shocked expression, with blood-red tears rolling down even more fiercely. Now I understand, roughly why the person he liked at first was Fang Zhi Wan, and Fang Zhi Ling was just someone he intentionally got close to in order to threaten Fang Zhi Wan.

  Earlier, Fang Zhi Ling started with a gentle tone, but now she must be in a lot of pain. Her fiancé doesn't love her, and the person who is persecuting her is also the one she loves the most. This must be a devastating blow, perhaps her spiritual pillar has completely collapsed at this moment.

  I looked at He Yi Chu today and he didn't seem like he was going to fight, so I poked Ge Fei and asked him in a low voice: "Hey, what do we do now?"

  Ge Fei didn't respond, his gaze drifted to the weak and frail Fang Zhi Ling, as if letting me hear what she had to say. To everyone's surprise, Fang Zhi Ling actually moved, struggling to get up from the ground with tears in her eyes, asking He Yi Chu: "If you loved my sister, why did you name the magazine 'Ai Ling', why?"
