Chapter Twelve: The Strange Woman

  He slapped me in the face after looking at my body, this is a blatant humiliation. I blushed and questioned him: "What do you hit me for?"

  My fists are clenched tightly, ready to rush up and fight him at any time. He's too arrogant, just because he's handsome can he hit people casually? If I don't get an explanation today, this matter won't be over.

  Xiao Huan sneered: "What's the reason? Just because you almost killed Hua Hua last night, I'm being too lenient by just slapping you."

  "What's with all these flowers? Who is Huahua?" His words left me bewildered.

  Xiao Huan took a deep breath and didn't answer my question, coldly saying: "Since your family also has a master, we shouldn't interfere with your affairs. But as for the vengeful spirit's matter, you don't need to worry about it either. I advise you to go back and learn some real skills, otherwise, you won't even know how to die."

  Now I'm even more confused, is he afraid that I'll fight back, so he made up all these excuses? Xiao Hua turned around and was about to leave, but after being slapped by him, I wasn't willing to let him go, so I rushed over and grabbed onto him.

  But the door suddenly opened. Having stayed in this dimly lit room for a long time, when the bright light outside shone in, my eyes had an instant of discomfort and I blinked subconsciously.

  When I came to my senses, Xiao Hua had disappeared. I looked around in all directions and couldn't see his shadow anywhere. I was puzzled - did I just see a ghost in broad daylight? The police station's hall isn't small, even if he ran, it wouldn't be possible for him to disappear so quickly.

  The police station looks more comfortable during the day, although those police officers are not necessarily busy with official business, but they are all busy, looking at these busy figures, I have a sense of stability.

  For a moment, I even had the idea of staying at the police station. Because I didn't know what kind of danger I would encounter after leaving, and I didn't know how to face my future life.

  Ma Zhiguo walked over and waved his hand at me: "You can go now, remember to keep quiet on your way back, don't cause panic."

  "Has Wang Kun been found? Who was that man just now?"

  Ma Zhiguo looked at me with a puzzled glance: "This matter is beyond our control, everything has been handed over to Mr. Xiao for handling. Since you don't know him, I certainly can't tell you his identity."

  I won't accept this kind of answer, just going back like this, how am I supposed to face Wang Kun's family? And also the previous Xiaolan, although we didn't have much relationship, but that was also a human life, he actually also pushed it off saying he didn't know.

  As for Ren Binghua, Ma Zhiguo told me that she was taken away by Mr. Xiao. I suddenly understood why Xiao Hua slapped me just now, it turned out that Ren Binghua was the "Hua Hua" in his mouth.

  It has to be said that Xiao Huan's dressing and appearance are all very stylish, he is also quite handsome, standing with Ren Binghua, it really has a bit of a perfect match.

  I can understand his actions, if my girlfriend went out with another man in the middle of the night and almost got drowned, I would also be furious. But understanding is one thing, not hitting someone's face is basic human decency, doesn't he even know that?

  I don't know why, but hearing him call Ren Binghua "Hua Hua" so intimately and being so protective of her makes me feel a bit annoyed. Or maybe I'm just angry because Ren Binghua was hit.

  No matter what, it's best if I don't see him again, otherwise this slap will definitely be returned.

  Finally, I was almost driven out of the police station, wandering aimlessly on the street, and for a while, I didn't know where to go or what to do. I looked at my phone, which had run out of battery, and I didn't even know what time it was; I felt like I had lost touch with the world.

  The sun is in the due south, roughly at noon, the sunlight is scorching, and there are very few people on the streets. Whoever comes out at this time is either a loser or an idiot.

  I sighed, prepared to go back to the rental house to charge my phone, and then tell Wang Kun's parents about his disappearance. This thing can't be avoided, I don't dare think what kind of reaction his parents will have, probably they will resent me.

  When I returned to the rental house, opened the door, and was shocked. There was someone lying on the bed. It was Wang Kun, his snores were thunderous, and from time to time, there were grinding sounds.

  I stood there for a long time before I dared to walk to the bedside and tried to push Wang Kun. This dead fat man was sleeping soundly, ignoring me, turning over and continuing to snore.

  After confirming that he was still alive and in good shape, my anger suddenly surged to my forehead. The old man was locked in the interrogation room last night, cold and hungry, and I was worried about him all along. But he was fine, sneaking back quietly, sleeping so soundly that even when I opened the door and came in, he didn't wake up.

  "King Kun, you bastard, get out of here!" I kicked him twice without any courtesy.

  Wang Kun's body was too massive. I originally wanted to kick him off the bed, but he didn't budge. Instead, I almost strained my waist from using too much force.

  I got even angrier, picked up a cup of cold water, took a big mouthful, and spat it onto Wang Kun's face. He was finally startled awake, shouting loudly: "Damn it, did I fall into the river again?"

  "Get up, you bastard! I was searching for you in the river yesterday and got caught by the police until now. You're doing great, sleeping at home with a swollen face."

  I'm so angry I could burst, if I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have called the police and wouldn't have gotten into all that trouble. Wang Kun chuckled twice and explained a lot to me.

  It turned out that the dead fat man fell into the river last night and drifted directly to the downstream riverbank with the current. He knew he had messed up Ren Binghua's affairs, so he didn't dare go back to find her, and instead went to Xiaolan's place where I was unconscious.

  But Xiao Lan disappeared from that time on, Wang Kun didn't see her, nor did he see me, and thought I had taken her away first, and secretly scolded me for being unrighteous.

  I thought carefully, and I reckon that when Wang Kun returned to where Xiao Lan was unconscious, I happened to jump into the river to look for him. Under Ren Binghua's command, not only did I fail to find him, but I also inexplicably touched a female corpse that had already rotted away.

  Things got a bit messy afterwards, Wang Kun came back and didn't see me, called me but couldn't get through, thought I went out with Xiao Lan to have fun, he himself slept soundly all the way until now.

  I scolded and grumbled for a while, but after I calmed down, I actually felt that it wasn't Fatso's fault. He didn't know I went to look for him, nor did he know I was locked up in the police station.

  Although things are too bumpy, fortunately he is still alive, otherwise I will feel guilty for a lifetime. After all, this matter was caused by me, and Wang Kun was involved in it, very innocent.

  "Alright, go take a bath and cool off, you stink." Wang Kun said with a smile.

  I glared at him with a scowl: "Isn't all this for your sake? I ended up like this because of you. Get lost, don't bother me."

  There are several factories in the upper reaches of the Hong River, and the river water is not clean to begin with. Adding that rotting corpse, my clothes on me are all carrying a fishy smell. Just now, when I was walking on the street, there were still flies flying towards me.

  I rushed to the bathroom to take a shower, changed my clothes and threw the old ones directly into the trash can. Under Wang Kun's inquiry, I roughly told him about last night's experience.

  After listening, Wang Kun furrowed his brow, not knowing what he was thinking. I was really too tired, didn't sleep well in the interrogation room, my waist and back ached, my body leaned to one side, lying on the bed, ready to take a nap first.

  "Wu Tian, you mean that Ren Binghua has a boyfriend now?" Wang Kun choked for half a day before squeezing out this sentence.

  "Get out of here!"

  I was so angry that I kicked him again, and with a dry mouth, I said a lot of things. He just remembered that I casually mentioned one sentence: Xiao Hua might be Ren Binghua's boyfriend. Even if Ren Binghua has a girlfriend, it has nothing to do with him at all.

  Xiao Huan's outfit is very fitting, and his temperament isn't bad either. He should be the legendary rich handsome guy. Having a boyfriend like him, unless Ren Binghua is blind, Wang Kun wouldn't have any chance.

  As soon as I mentioned Xiao Huan, I suddenly remembered the nonsense he said to me in the interrogation room. Why did he take a look at my chest and say that there was a master in my family?

  My grandfather and father are all of average height, about 1.8 meters tall, just like me. But what he said must not be referring to height, which makes it a bit hard for me to understand.

  I don't have anything special on my chest, just an irregular red birthmark the size of a thumb, which I've had since I can remember. I stared at my chest for a moment, completely clueless, and could only take Xiao Hua's words as nonsense.

  As soon as I lay down, my eyelids started fighting, and I slept for a long time. I must have had many dreams, but when I woke up, all the scenes in my dream were forgotten, and I only remembered that there was a woman crying.

  When I woke up, the sky outside the window had already darkened. Wang Kun was sitting on the bed with his laptop, typing away. Seeing that I was awake, he asked me to wait for another half hour, and after finishing writing, we would go out together to eat something good to make up for it.

  It seems that he has received several hundred yuan in manuscript fees, and can afford to splurge this time. I know that when he is typing, he doesn't like to be distracted, so he takes out his mobile phone to play with it himself.

  After I got back, I plugged in my phone to charge it, and now it's fully charged. When I opened the phone, there were several missed calls and a text message, all from Ren Binghua.

  After taking a glance at the message content, Ren Binghua told us that it's best for the two of us to find something our parents gave us, such as jade pendants or whatever, and wear them on our bodies to ward off evil spirits.

  I had thought of giving her a call to ask about the situation, but after hesitating for a while, I gave up. It's better if we don't have any more encounters, vengeful spirits and all that, I never want to run into her again in this lifetime.

  Anyway, that Xiao Hua was so arrogant and said I didn't need to worry about this matter anymore. Ma Zhi Guo also promised me that I wouldn't be in danger again, everything had nothing to do with me, why should I still go stir up trouble?

  About half an hour passed, I put away my phone and turned to urge Wang Kun. A black shadow blocked my way, I impatiently stretched out my hand to push: "Finish writing and hurry up, brother is almost starving, today must make a big deal of you."

  But the hand that stretched out did not touch anything, and instead suddenly became extremely cold. I couldn't help but shiver, lifted my head, a disheveled woman with a dark complexion, seven orifices oozing blood, stood straight in front of me.
