Chapter 59: The Unlucky Star 06

  Gu Yin didn't intend to pay attention to Shen Wei at all, but instead stared at Xie Zhe with a calm expression. More latest chapters visit: . Xie Zhe put away the tense atmosphere from before and smiled normally, calmly exchanging gazes with Gu Yin.

  Qin Fei crouched inside the bar, looking up at Gu Yin standing outside. After a while, he felt his neck and wanted to stand up, but found that his arm was still being held by Shen Wei.

  "Xian Wei, let go." Qin Fei turned his head and said to Xian Wei.

  Qin Fei spoke up, and Shen Wei hastily let go.

  Qin Fei stood up and then reached out to pull Shen Wei up.

  Shen Wei stood up and moved his slightly numb feet, then turned his head to see Gu Yin standing at the bar, silently staring at him with an unpleased gaze.

  Shen Wei glared back and said in a low, husky voice: "What are you looking at!"

  Gu Yan raised his eyelids.

  Shen Wei shifted her gaze away from Gu Yin and quietly moved herself behind Qin Fei.

  Qin Fei looked at Shen Wei and Xie Zhe beside him, he completely didn't understand why these two people would have such a 'violent' reaction to Gu Yin's 'sex' orientation after knowing that Gu Yin lived with him.

  Shen Wei's usual 'sex' personality would have such a reaction, Qin Fei was not surprised, what surprised him was Xie Zhe's attitude. Xie Zhe rarely showed clear hostility towards people, but in that instant, he indeed showed hostility towards Gu Yin.

  These two people did not have any discriminatory thoughts towards homosexuality, and when they found out that Jiang Xu was gay, they only expressed a little surprise. Later on, they climbed the Yunfeng together with Jiang Xu and got along very happily.

  However, when it comes to Jiang Xu, it was determined that Gu Yin is of the same 'sex' love, because at that time Jiang Xu said he liked Gu Yin, and Gu Yin did not speak out.

  "Are you guys saying that Gu Yin likes men just because of that one sentence from Jiang Xu? Gu Yin has never said he likes men." Qin Fei said to the two people beside him, while giving Gu Yin a look, hinting for him to follow his words.

  "He didn't refute it at the time, can't that prove anything?" Shen Wei rolled her eyes.

  "But he has never admitted it."

  Shen Wei looked at Gu Yin with suspicion and asked bluntly: "You really don't like men?"

  Her eyes fell on Qin Fei, "No, I like men, it's just that the one I like isn't named Jiang Xu."

  "Boss! Did you hear that?"

  Qin Fei: "......"

  Gu Yin lowered her eyelids and hid the dimness in her eyes.

  Xie Zhe likes Qin Fei, it's the same kind of liking. This person is hidden extremely deeply, he isn't the first time seeing Xie Zhe, but previously there was no way to see this sign from him, if not for hearing what he just said to Qin Fei, seeing the obvious hostile gaze when looking at him, perhaps until now he still wouldn't discover Xie Zhe's feelings towards Qin Fei.

  Qin Fei was having a headache over the contradictions between his own employees and roommates when Song 'Meng' and Zhou Jun came, bringing their entrusted person Ye Cheng.

  Song 'Meng' first greeted Qin Fei and Gu Yin, then pushed Ye Cheng to a more inner position, sat down at the bar with a plop, and shouted towards Shen Wei: "Little Weiwei, I want milk tea!"

  Shen Wei stared at Ye Cheng, who was wearing sunglasses, and felt that this person was very familiar, but couldn't remember where she had seen him before. After hearing Song 'Meng's' shout, she gave him a displeased glance and turned to go make milk tea.

  "What does Old Zhou want?" Xie Zhe asked.

  "Let's go have some Oolong tea." Zhou Jun said.

  "Can it be canned?"

  "Let's go."

  "What about you, sir? Would you like something to drink?" Xie Zhe looked at Ye Cheng, who was surrounded by an aura of low pressure.

  Ye Cheng looked around the book bar and found that except for the people gathered in front of the counter, there was no one else. He then took off his sunglasses. Qin Fei noticed that after not seeing him for a few days, Ye Cheng, who originally just looked tired, now looked haggard, with bloodshot eyes and obvious dark circles under his eyes.

  Ye Cheng pressed his brow and then said to Xie Zhe: "Let's get the iron, thanks."

  As soon as Ye Cheng's words fell, a loud crash was heard. The cup of milk tea that Shen Wei had placed in front of Song Meng violently collided with the bar table, spilling its contents and scattering them around the cup. But Shen Wei didn't seem to care about the spilled milk tea at all, her eyes fixed intently on Ye Cheng.

  Song 'Meng': "Xiao Weiwei, milk tea spilled..."

  "You're Ye Cheng! The Heavenly King of Songs, Ye Cheng!" Shen Wei ignored Song 'Meng', her eyes shining as she stared at Ye Cheng.

  Song 'Meng': "Little Weiwei, my milk tea..."

  Shen Wei waved open Song 'Meng' that chubby paw, adjusted the expression on her face, and gave Ye Cheng a dignified yet reserved smile. "Want to take the iron? Please wait."

  Ye Cheng nodded: "Okay, thank you."

  "Hey! I want milk tea..." Song Meng shouted at Shen Wei, but Shen Wei had already turned around to grind coffee.

  Xie Zhe took a glance at Song 'Meng', handed him a pack of tissues, "She can't hear you anymore, wipe yourself clean."

  Regarding the thief who ambushed Ye Cheng, Song 'Meng' and Zhou Jun have been tailing him for almost 24 hours these past few days, yet they still haven't found a single clue related to the culprit. Ye Cheng has also been experiencing unexpected events during the day and having nightmares at night. He's tried all sorts of methods, reliable or not, but his situation hasn't changed one bit. All he can do now is pin his hopes on Song 'Meng' and the others making a breakthrough.

  At this time of the year, there were basically no customers in the book bar. Song 'Meng' and Zhou Jun sat at the counter, chatting with Shen Wei and others. Gu Yin was not interested in their topic, so he sat back in Qin Fei's exclusive seat. Qin Fei picked two books from the bookshelf, handed one to Gu Yin, then sat down opposite him, flipping through the remaining book, occasionally exchanging a few words with Song 'Meng' and others.

  Ye Cheng couldn't bear the exhaustion, after finishing his coffee, Zhou Jun had wanted to let Ye Cheng go upstairs to their detective agency's room to sleep. But Ye Cheng didn't want to be alone, and directly found a quiet corner in the bookstore's reading area, where he lay down to take a nap.

  Ye Cheng thought he wouldn't be able to sleep for long and would wake up from a nightmare as usual. But unexpectedly, he slept all the way until lunchtime. After having lunch with Qin Fei and others, his afternoon nap was unusually peaceful; not only did nightmares not appear, but also those occasional unexpected events didn't happen during his waking hours. Ye Cheng spent an entire day without any unexpected events in the book bar, and he thought this was simply a miracle.

  So——

  For several days in a row, Ye Cheng came to the book bar and stayed for a whole day. Sometimes Song 'Meng' and Zhou Jun came with him, sometimes he came alone. As long as he was in the book bar, those annoying things that bothered him would not happen again, even if he fell asleep, he wouldn't have nightmares.

  The calm days in the book bar made Song Meng and Zhou Jun, who had witnessed the thrilling life of also declining god possession, feel unbelievable.

  On this day, Gu Yin accompanied Qin Fei to handle the annual inspection of business licenses. Xie Zhe was absent due to personal matters. Shen Wei, who was on duty, leaned on the bar and gazed at Ye Cheng in the reading area with a lovesick expression. Meanwhile, Song Meng, Zhou Jun, and Ye Cheng sat together discussing the case entrusted by Ye Cheng.

  "Lao Zhou, what reason did you say made that person who ambushed Ye Cheng not dare to approach the book?" Song 'Meng' asked Zhou Jun.

  "I think it's because of this book, the feng shui is good." Ye Cheng said.

  "Don't be so gullible, okay?" Song Meng shot a glance at Ye Cheng.

  "I also think the feng shui here is good." Zhou Jun followed up by saying.

  "Old Zhou!" Song Meng shouted in discontent.

  "Fatso, I think Ye Cheng is more like a jinx," said Zhou Jun. "You've also seen the things that have happened to him these days, they don't seem humanly possible. That time when the stone fell from mid-air and almost hit Ye Cheng's head, you saw it too, there were no tall buildings around, nor was there anything suspicious in the air, yet the stone fell vertically from such a high place... In short, something fishy is definitely going on."

  Song 'Meng': "But Gu Da Shen said..."

  "Perhaps it was something that even Lian Yu didn't know about that had followed him."

  Song 'Meng' walked over and whispered: "What is that thing?"

  Zhou Jun stretched out his hand and pushed open his brain, "How do I know? I'm not in this line!"

  "Hmph!" Song 'Meng' pouted, leaning his body back and curling himself up on the sofa.

  Zhou Jun picked up his teacup, just about to take a sip, when he suddenly heard a faint, subtle sound, like the friction of metal.

  Zhou Jun furrowed his brow and asked, "What sound?"

  "Is there any sound?" Song 'Meng' was bewildered.

  At this moment, the lamp on Ye Cheng's head suddenly fell off and heavily hit his head.

  ……

  Qin Fei and Gu Yin returned to the book bar, Shen Wei's face turned pale, and she pulled Qin Fei to tell him incoherently that Ye Cheng had been hit by a lamp that fell from the reading area, bleeding profusely, and was sent to the hospital by Song 'Meng' and Zhou Jun.

  Qin Fei comforted Shen Wei's emotions and let her go home to rest first. After closing the door of Shu Ba, Qin Fei rushed to the hospital where Ye Cheng was with Gu Yin.

  When he arrived at the hospital, Ye Chengren was still unconscious, with thick gauze wrapped around his head, lying on the hospital bed. Song Meng and Zhou Jun stood beside his bed, their faces solemn.

  "How is Ye Cheng doing?" Qin Fei walked into the ward and asked somewhat anxiously.

  "Don't worry, it's just a scratch on the head, some blood was shed, might be a slight concussion, nothing major." Zhou Jun said to Qin Fei.

  Qin Fei looked at him suspiciously, Zhou Jun's serious expression had not faded, and telling him that there was no big problem really didn't have much persuasive power.

  "Qin Fei, what we're worried about isn't Ye Cheng's injury, but the nature of this incident might not be something ordinary people can handle." Zhou Jun looked at Gu Yin behind Qin Fei. "That lamp that fell from the ceiling and injured Ye Cheng wasn't because the old hanger broke off, but because five screws were unscrewed before it fell."

  Zhou Jun took out a bunch of paper towels from his pocket, opened the paper towel to show Qin Fei and Gu Yin the five screws inside. "These five screws are all new, and there is no sign of rust on each screw thread, so we can rule out the possibility that the screws were loose. In other words, these five screws were unscrewed and fell off at the scene. And this kind of thing, it's absolutely impossible for a person to do without being detected."
