Chapter 256: Puppet Horror
On the day of Xing Kangcheng's 60th birthday, the spring breeze was warm and the sun was rising, which seemed to be a good day set by heaven.
Chu Hemeng stood on the balcony and looked at the sunshine like egg yolks, sighed silently, and always felt that it was better for him not to go. But as soon as this thought came to mind, Xing Kangcheng's smiling face appeared in his mind, every time he saw her, he always had such a satisfied and happy smile, but she was not easy to refuse.
"Meng Meng! Meng Meng!"
Yuan Qi called her twice, she came back to her senses, turned around and saw a courier standing at the door behind her, Yuan Qi standing beside him.
After Chu Hemeng signed for the package, Yuan Qi closed the door and said with a smile: "It must be the dress that your Haodong sent you!"
Chu Hemeng pursed her lips, she had the same idea in her heart, but when she opened the package, she gasped suddenly, if Yuan Qi hadn't covered her mouth and screamed in horror first, she couldn't help but scream!
I saw a puppet doll lying quietly in the package, with long black hair and light brown pupils that were somewhat similar to Chu Hemeng, but the doll's heart was filled with an extra knife, dyeing the doll's snow-white skirt into a blood-red patch. It's like a threat, it's like a curse.
"I'll call the police!"
"Wait a minute!"
Chu Hemeng called out to Yuan Qi and hugged the puppet carefully, there was no note in the box, but on the back of the puppet, a line of small words was written in blood-red paint - "Leave Xing Haodong, otherwise this is your fate!a." β
"A, who is this A?" Yuan Qi said suddenly, "Could it be Han Chenyi?
Chu Hemeng's heart jumped, and he was trembling holding the puppet in his hand, if it was really Han Chenyi......
Ding dong!
The doorbell rang again at this time, and Yuan Qi could only stabilize his mind to open the door, which turned out to be another courier.
Chu Hemeng frowned, and after signing for it, he and Yuan Qi carefully opened the package. The box was obviously much larger, with neatly stacked dresses and high heels, as well as a note written by Xing Haodong himself. Chu Hemeng put down the note and took out the dress, and both of them were stunned.
The dress sent by Xing Haodong is exactly the same as the white dress stained red by blood on the puppet!
"Mengmeng! We must call the police! Don't go to the birthday banquet!"
"Now I'm even more curious!" Chu Hemeng gritted his teeth, slapped his palm on the table, and said categorically, "I want to see what kind of sacredness this A is, and he wants to kill me so much!"
Yuan Qi frowned and shook his head, and said, "No! It's too dangerous! At least inform Xing Haodong and ask him to increase the security of the birthday banquet!"
"Don't!" Chu Hemeng grabbed Yuan Qi in a panic, "Don't tell anyone, I don't want them to worry about me!"
"But ......"
"No, but, like you said, if Han Chenyi did all this, I believe that no matter how much he hates me, he won't hurt me!"
Yuan Qi frowned and said, "If it's not Han Chenyi, but someone else who hates you?"
"I'm going to find this guy out, too!"
Chu Hemeng said, his eyes fell on the puppet dyed red, although the sunlight outside the window was sacred and bright, but the room was dark and cold. This puppet of unknown origin was finally re-wrapped by Chu Hemeng and put it in the cabinet, Yuan Qi kept lying on the door and peeking, frowning, as if he was afraid that this puppet would become a ghost and ask for his life.
In the evening, the spring day was soaked in half of the sky like blood.
Chu Hemeng was wearing a snow-white long skirt, standing in front of the dressing mirror, looking at herself left and right, her waist-length hair hung down softly on her back, and she simply pinned a snow-white velvet flower, her light brown eyes seemed to be covered with a faint golden glow in the sun, with a little confusion, and she was as if the puppet had become, exactly the same.
When Yuan Qi ran in, she couldn't help but scream in fright, if she also inserted a big knife in Chu Hemeng's heart, she would completely think that Chu Hemeng was caught by the ghost of the puppet. Chu Hemeng pouted helplessly and said, "A puppet is a puppet, where did the ghost come from?"
Yuan Qi swallowed and said, "Xing Haodong's car is already downstairs. Are you really going?"
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger! I will come back safely!"
Chu Hemeng patted Yuan Qi on the shoulder, grabbed the clutch on the table, and went out.
Yuan Qi looked at her back helplessly, shivered, and felt that her back was inexplicably eerie and terrifying.
Downstairs, Xing Haodong was standing outside the car in a black dress, Chu Hemeng pretended that nothing had happened, and said with a light smile: "It's actually a long car, I'm not the protagonist of the birthday banquet!"
"You're indispensable for the birthday party! Get in the car......"
Xing Haodong gentlemanly opened the car door for Chu Hemeng, and the two sat side by side in the back row.
Chu Hemeng still couldn't help but think about the puppet, and all kinds of chats between Xing Haodong and her along the way, she was perfunctory.
Xing Haodong finally couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"
"No, I just ...... I was a little nervous and afraid that my uncle wouldn't like my gift. β
Xing Haodong smiled lightly and shook Chu Hemeng's hand and said, "You are the best gift!"
Chu Hemeng smiled reluctantly, and the car had slowly stopped.
Although it was not the first time Chu Hemeng had come to the Xing family's mansion, she couldn't help but look left and right from the moment she got out of the car. There were crowds of people outside the door, and her eyes swept over their faces one by one, looking for anyone who might be "A".
"You're here!"
As soon as Xing Haodong and Chu Hemeng entered the door, Xing Kangcheng greeted them in great spirits.
Chu Hemeng took out a delicate small gift box from his clutch, held it to Xing Kangcheng with both hands, and said with a light smile: "A meager gift, I hope my uncle can like it!"
"That's so polite. β
After Xing Kangcheng took it, he opened the small gift box and saw that it was a delicate tie clip.
"I like this gift very much, can you help me put it on?"
Chu Hemeng walked up with a light smile and helped Xing Kangcheng pin the tie clip, as if they were a happy family.
Xiao Wei stood on the stairs and happened to witness this scene, the corners of her mouth were faintly unhappy, and she walked up quickly.
"Old man, it turns out that you are here!" Xiao Wei walked over with an exaggerated smile, "You see how filial your daughter is, I haven't contacted her, she actually called just now and said that she remembered that today is the old man's birthday, she just landed and is on her way!"
Xing Kangcheng raised his eyebrows lightly, stretched out his arm towards Chu Hemeng, and said with a smile: "Walk around with me, an old man!"
"Well, it's my pleasure. Chu Hemeng grabbed Xing Kangcheng's arm, didn't say much, and left.
Xiao Wei's face was flushed with anger, and when she turned around to look again, Xing Haodong had already chatted with a few businessmen around her.
If it goes on like this, is there still a place for her Xiao Wei? She snorted coldly and walked to the door with a swagger.
Xing Kangcheng introduced Chu Hemeng to everyone, as if this was his daughter-in-law. Although Chu Hemeng was smiling, he was already looking for clues of "A" everywhere. If this person was Han Chenyi, why didn't he be seen at the birthday banquet......?
"Old man Xing. β
Chu Hemeng's body trembled, and the "Could it be" in her heart hadn't followed, and Han Chenyi's voice came from behind her.
She turned around with Xing Kangcheng, and saw Han Chenyi standing in front of her in a straight suit and high spirits. It's just that Chu Hemeng's gaze couldn't help but fall on the female companion beside Han Chenyi, a very sweet girl who laughed sweeter than honey.
And Han Chenyi didn't look at Chu Hemeng at all, not half an eye.
"How is your father's body?" Xing Kangcheng asked politely.
Han Chenyi bowed slightly, "Thanks to Old Man Xing, my father is still worried that my father is on his way here, and he said that Old Man Xing is his good brother for many years and must come." β
Xing Kangcheng frowned slightly and changed the topic, "This young lady ......"
"I'm Jessica, congratulations to Mr. Xing on his birthday, may Mr. Xing be as blessed as the East China Sea and live longer than Nanshan!"
The sweet girl smiled excitedly, Chu Hemeng looked at her, not knowing if it was her own illusion, at this moment, Han Chenyi was a little embarrassed. But Jessica didn't seem to notice, and still said generously: "I'm Runzae's fiancΓ©e......"
"I've seen an acquaintance, I'm sorry!"
Han Chenyi interrupted Jessica's words, brushed Chu Hemeng's shoulder with a blue face, and left quickly.
At this moment, Chu Hemeng's heart couldn't tell whether it was relief or heaviness.
Xing Kangcheng looked at Chu Hemeng and said, "I remember that there is still something to do, I will go back to the study first, you must have a good time." β
"Uncle, don't be too tired. β
Xing Kangcheng nodded in response, and went upstairs with the support of the secretary, Chu Hemeng kept looking at his back.
Han Chenyi took Jessica to the corner with a dissatisfied expression.
Jessica couldn't stop lying coquettishly, "I want to eat that, it looks delicious......"
"I said, when I don't let you speak, aren't you allowed to speak?" Han Chenyi's tone was obviously reproachful.
Jessica pouted and smiled, "I didn't say anything wrong......"
"I want to be alone and do whatever you want. β
After speaking, Han Chenyi took out his arm from Jessica's arms, loosened his tie and walked out, but he didn't expect Chu Hemeng to come over at this time. The two stared at each other, Han Chenyi stiffened in an instant, Jessica stepped forward to hold his arm again, and said, "Okay, I won't eat, don't be angry!"
"How could I be mad at you?"
Han Chenyi put his arm around Jessica's slender waist and kissed Jessica on the lips in front of Chu Hemeng, making Jessica laugh with a jingle bell......
Chu Hemeng looked at the picture of Han Chenyi and Jessica kissing in front of him, his eyelashes trembled, and he was stunned in place at a loss.
