Chapter Seventy: Brain Burning

  Liu Weimin's words set my brain on fire, and I couldn't keep up with the rhythm. It was just a subconscious question to him. Since we didn't know the old Chinese doctor, why would his name be in that notebook?

  But what Liu Weimin said next made me dizzy and half of my brain cells died.

  "Nonsense! I burned his notes on the spot after reading them, how could another one pop up?"

  I asked him if it was an old Chinese doctor's notes, but he said no?

  I said you don't have a door on your mouth, one second ago we didn't know each other, the next second you've seen his laptop.

  I actually told Kang Jiuxiang that I had more or less figured out Liu Weimin's temperament, and this was not an empty statement. This old man seemed to be indifferent to other people's disrespect, and it wasn't the first time I had coldly ridiculed him as long as I didn't go against his wishes. All the other trivial matters were irrelevant.

  Liu Weimin was not angry at all. On the contrary, he sneered at me: "You've also seen Nalan Yuqing, can you say that you two know each other? As for the note, I can give you evidence. That old Chinese doctor couldn't have written those words asking me to save his life, because the one who killed him was me! Now do you believe it?"

  I casually mentioned this and felt like I was about to collapse, so I told him to wait a bit while I lit a cigarette to calm down.

  Liu Weimin continued: "That's how it is, I killed him for a reason, and he was writing a letter to you at the time, but not as a warning, but as a confession. Now it seems that someone has tampered with it. If Jian Bai hadn't died, I would have suspected that he was sowing discord, but he's dead, so there's no way to explain the person who impersonated me...". Liu Weimin suddenly exclaimed: "Could it be that he really didn't die? No, impossible, definitely not possible, he can't fool my eyes."

  Liu Weimin muttered to himself, at first I listened and analyzed, later I put the phone on the table, smoking gloomily, when he called me again, I heard him say: "I'll handle this matter, you don't need to worry about it, talk about you Wang Zhen, originally I didn't expect to hear your voice again, and if it was half an hour later, this call wouldn't have gotten through, it's also a fate, whether you believe it or not, I want to apologize to you."

  I let out a cold snort, and Liu Weimin sighed, "You're too heartless. Don't forget that I followed you to rescue Wenjing, although it almost got you killed, but I really had no choice. From now on, we won't meet again. Follow your master and study well. Xu Qi may not have much real skill, but his abacus skills are still pretty good!"

  I asked him, what's he plotting, what is Xu Qi planning?

  Liu Weimin smiled wryly: "You're a man who was bitten by a snake and is afraid of the rope for ten years, what kind of abacus can he play? I'm saying that his accounting skills are very impressive, I estimate he's too ashamed to tell you, back when Zhang Yuangui stepped down, the illegitimate son took over as the Heavenly Master, but instead handed over the financial power of the Heavenly Master's mansion to the legitimate eldest son, who is now the elder brother. Now it seems like a fat job, but at that time, the high and mighty eldest son became the steward of his younger brother, going down the mountain every day to collect rent, only to be ridiculed by others. Later, it was passed down to Xu Qi's line, in short, he's just a businessman, following him will at least guarantee you food and clothing, haha."

  It turned out to be like this, on the way home from Xiaomei's house, I was still thinking that if I were really a living person, whether Xu Qi couldn't see it or deliberately concealed it. At this time, after listening to Liu Weimin say it, I finally felt at ease about Xu Qi. Seeing Liu Weimin in a good mood, I hurriedly asked: "Old man, from what you mean, won't you bother me again in the future?"

  Liu Weimin said don't worry about it, he has something important to attend to and really doesn't have the time to play with me.

  I said since it's like this, can you give me some answers to my doubts?

  Liu Weimin told me to go ahead and ask, so I asked if I was still a living person now.

  Liu Weimin said two words: "Guess!"

  I rolled my eyes and asked again, the half corpse in Tian Shi's coffin looked very similar to him, who was it exactly?

  "Guess again!"

  "What secret do I have after all? Why can my blood open a coffin?"

  "Keep guessing!"

  I said you're no fun like this, Liu Weimin laughed for a while and told me that apart from the previous three questions, I could ask one more question and he would answer it, so I should think carefully.

  I have many things I want to know, most of which are just out of curiosity. Since I can only ask one question, let's ask something related. I said: "Alright, don't ever come looking for me again, but what if that fake Liu Weimin contacts me?"

  Liu Weimin said with a sigh, "You're on your own, I won't let him appear, but I have to leave soon. If he contacts you, there are only two possibilities: either I couldn't handle it or I didn't have time to deal with him, so you'll have to rely on yourself. Here's what I'll do - I'll send you some things that are the results of my research on the Water Book over the years. If you can master it, you'll be the new Water Book Master, at least able to handle ordinary monsters and ghosts. With a bit of luck, you might even be able to rescue Xiao Bai."

  I said how did you know Shuixiu again? Didn't I read it for you that night?

  Liu Weimin said that what he saw was a water scripture prayer, while I saw twenty-four words and a ghost face, which is why I recited it. The mysterious part has no explanation, he said the time will come, and everyone will meet again by fate.

  Just about to get rid of the gloom brought by the old man, but I suddenly felt a little lost: "Well, goodbye then. Can I ask where you're going?"

  Liu Weimin smiled and said with a heroic tone: "Go die!"

  I finally ended the call and deleted his phone number without saying another word, feeling a sudden sense of relief throughout my body. But then strong curiosity emerged, wanting to know the truth about everything, including Liu Weimin's destination for this trip. I didn't go back to sleep until drowsiness overcame me. As soon as I lay down, Wenjing sneaked over quietly and refused to listen to my persuasion, insisting on staying in my bed. In the end, I had no choice but to let her stay.

  Time flies like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, it's already the day when Wenjing is leaving. I'm so happy that I almost cry, this dead girl isn't leaving yet, I'm about to castrate myself.

  I always thought she was a quiet and introverted girl, obedient to me in every way. But after her heart opened up, it was like a floodgate had been lifted, and I couldn't take it anymore. I reckon it's all because of that stupid idea Yu Mo gave her. When I lose my temper, she cries; when I try to reason with her gently, she takes advantage of me and gets clingy, almost driving me crazy.

  The university Wen Jing reported to was the one where Qin Feng went to further his studies in business administration. Three days before school started, Qin Feng came back and took her away. Originally I wanted to follow them to see her off, but You Mo had been pestering me all day to go with him to look for coffins everywhere, and I definitely couldn't shake him off if I went to Beijing. And since Qin Feng and he had a complete falling out, it ended in nothing.

  During this time, I contacted Xu Qi several times. He was also surprised by the things about my body and just said to study it again. I asked him to bring Kang Jiuxiang over, and Xu Qi asked for the reason. He specifically returned to Guan Cun Village and then told me that Kang Jiuxiang was very calm, could give me an explanation, and could also let me take out my anger on her. After thinking about it, I said forget it, and let her fend for herself.

  Liu Weimin promised to send me the Water Margin manuscript, but it never arrived. I waited for a few days and then forgot about it. Liu Weimin, who had hired me, also didn't contact me again. When I went to withdraw money from the bank card he gave me, the account name was indeed Liu Weimin. In the end, I don't even know which one of them is impersonating the other.

  Yu Wu, who had been determined to dig up the coffin, also became quiet, quietly eerie. I asked him in a roundabout way, but he just waved his hand and said not to mention it again. Since he still lived with the old Chinese doctor, I thought of matchmaking him with Xiao Mei. I secretly told Xiao Mei that Yu Wu's dream lover would never appear again, and if she was willing, I would give Yu Wu a hint.

  Xiao Mei said to me, "As a friend, I can ignore his face, but why should I marry a man who has ruined his appearance? He's been delaying the skin graft surgery, and apart from psychological issues, I couldn't find any other reason."

  This sentence reminded me, but I didn't expect it was already too late. That morning, Xiaomei called and said that Youmo had gone missing, leaving behind a letter with only a dozen or so words.

  "King Zhen, I'm going to find Little White Sister now. You're just a piece of crap, you won't help me, but someone else will!"

  I was so shocked that I couldn't cry, and I never thought that a well-intentioned concealment would lead to such a huge misunderstanding. I wanted to explain but couldn't get in touch with him. Xiao Mei asked her police friend for help and secretly searched for You Wu without telling his family members. Finally, they found out that You Wu had gotten into an unlicensed white sedan at the entrance of the community, but didn't know where he went.

  I contacted Xu Qi, he said this matter is highly suspicious, especially since he had never been taught the evil door of that coffin before, yet he still firmly believed someone could help him, it's possible that he was being used by others.

  Xu Qi will think of a way, so I won't be anxious, but I've been rushing around at home for several days, constantly calling You Wu's phone, but didn't expect this autumn to be a season of many things.

  Qin Feng called first and asked vaguely. Wen Jing said that I have a master who is the Taoist priest of Mount Longhu, is this true?

  "I said yes, and Qin Feng said: 'Then call Master over for a trip. Something has happened in Wenjing's apartment, and she is not doing well now!'"

  Something that requires a Taoist priest to handle... I suddenly got angry, wouldn't she be possessed by a ghost again? Is she born to attract ghosts or what?

  After hanging up, I was about to contact Xu Qi, but unexpectedly, a call came in first. It was Liu Weimin's, claiming to be Dao Xie, and also the Liu Weimin who had hired me. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said: "Wang Zhen, little friend, your cousin is called Wenjing, right?"

  I was stunned and asked him how he knew!

  "This person said: 'I've checked your and You Wu's train tickets, and also looked into your family background. It's quite simple. When your cousin arrived in Beijing, I was keeping an eye on her at all times. Originally, we were going to contact you these past few days, but something came up with your cousin, so it was delayed for a few days. You'd best come over once.'"

  I asked him what happened, he just said let's talk about it in person, if we don't meet in person then there is nothing to talk about.

  Then I rushed out and called Xu Qi, he asked me to hurry over first, he would come find me as soon as possible.

  After buying the train ticket, I received another call from a courier brother. After receiving the unsigned express package, I found that it was not Liu Weimin's promised Water Margin notes, but a letter with three words on the first line: Come to Beijing quickly. The signature was still three words: You understand!
