Chapter 279: Hypocrites

"Hypocrite!" Pei Yue cursed at the gray car, held up the umbrella and turned around and walked into the vast rain curtain.

The picture in my memory became that under the five-story old-fashioned apartment where Pei Yue lived, a girl with a pretty face was walking from not far away, with a bright smile on her face.

"Teacher Pei Yue~" The girl ran to her happily, "Your home is so far away, I haven't been to Guanlin Old District before." ”

"Don't think I'm living in a humble place." Pei Yue smiled and took the girl upstairs, and the two of them talked and laughed, like a pair of intimate girlfriends.

The moment the door opened, the girl froze. The room is very basic, with little light and only a few simple pieces of furniture. And on the bed in the middle of the room lay an old man with gray hair and a withered face.

A dilapidated electric fan flickered towards the head of the bed, and Pei Yue took a wet towel from the bathroom and began to wipe the cheeks of the man on the bed.

After a while, she said quietly: "My father is often in a coma, and although he sometimes opens his eyes, he can't speak. ”

The girl's face showed a sad expression, and her lips twitched and asked, "Yes... Was it because of some accident? ”

"He used to be a taxi driver, and he once had an argument with a passenger, but he didn't expect it to turn into a fight," Pei Yue gently wiped his father's arm, his expression gloomy,

"Doesn't it sound ridiculous that my father was injured and sent to the hospital, but the other party was found not guilty?"

"Why is this happening?" The girl asked incredulously.

A cold light flashed in Pei Yue's eyes: "Because the person who injured my father was the son of a guy with an identity background, they easily covered up the crime." The conclusion was that there were no arguments, no fights, just that my father had an accident alone. ”

"It's too much!" The girl said indignantly.

"yes, that's excessive, isn't it?" Pei Yue said coldly, "After that, he fled abroad and lived a free life." ”

"What about the police? Can't they have a way either? The girl asked.

"Here's the problem," Pei Yue stared at the girl in front of her, and the corners of her mouth suddenly pulled out a sneer, "Compared to the person who injured my father, in fact, I hate more than the person who shielded the criminal for the sake of Mingzhe's life." ”

She looked at the girl and continued: "The police did not even investigate the scene, because it was an order from above. ”

"Upper?"

"That's right, it's your father," Pei Yue looked directly into the girl's eyes, saw shock, doubt and loss in them, and continued: "It was he who gave the order to his subordinates as if nothing had happened. ”

"Liar, Daddy... He's not that kind of person! The girl's face was pale, and even if she struggled inwardly, she couldn't ignore what she had seen.

"It's a pity, but these are facts, facts that your father will never admit to you, he is a hypocrite."

Pei Yue stretched out a hand and put it on the girl's shoulder, and the smile in her eyes grew, "However, I didn't expect to meet his daughter, it's really ironic." ”

Her hanging green silk brushed the girl's shoulder, "But Xiaoxiao, you don't have to worry that I will hate you." You're so good, you don't look like your father at all, I'm actually... Loved you very much. When the words fell, the soft lips fluttered on the girl's cheeks, and for a moment, the girl's pupils suddenly dilated.

What exactly does this woman want to do? Revenge? Star Swirl ends sharing memories and returns to Mr. X's apartment.

"What is this incident?" Mr. X's gaze shifts from the computer screen to Star Swirl's face, and the metal-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose give Star Swirl a feeling of scum.

"Avengers disguised as governesses." Star Swirl sums it up brilliantly.

Mr. X gave a faint "um", his expression was calm, and he didn't seem to be very interested in the content.

"For the time being, it will be classified as an energy event, but it remains to be seen whether it is related to the people in the apartment in Guanlin District."

"Don't get too far into it, it's impossible for all your dreams to be prophetic dreams." Mr. X understated.

Star Swirl walks up to him and meets his gaze. The black and white pupils are reflected in the blue eyes, like two rounds of moonlight in the abyss, one round blurred, the other round dark, close at hand and far away in the world.

"You don't want me to continue investigating the people in the Guanlin apartment?"

He raised his head slightly and held her hand, but there was a hint of fatigue in his expression: "Will you be disappointed if you find out that there is no result in the end?" ”

"Perhaps, but it's not the time yet." She gently let go of his fingers and turned back to her room.

"I'm tired, let's go rest first."

His brows furrowed slightly, and his palms still had residual warmth. He suddenly sensed that from now on she would move in a direction that was gradually detached from him, in an increasingly unpredictable manner.

---

Downstairs in the Guanlin apartment, Star Swirl wanders here unknowingly. The remnant sun of the dusk was like blood, reflecting on her contemplative countenance.

She suddenly heard someone calling her name, and when she came back to her senses, the man named Qin Mo was already standing in front of her.

"Why do you keep running here?" The man smiled slightly, and his eyes quietly turned under his thick long eyelashes.

"I... Something fell on Han Dongzhi's house. Star Swirl looked towards the fifth-floor window, where a vague figure flickered.

"It's a pity that they all went out just now," the smile in Qin Mo's eyes faded, "Why don't you go to my house and wait for them to come back?" ”

"No," Star Swirl refused, knowing full well that she couldn't trust strangers, "I'll just wait downstairs." ”

"Aren't you afraid of heat stroke when it's hot?" Qin Mo's eyes flickered slightly, "You're afraid of me, right?" ”

Star Swirl grimaced and said, "Mom said you can't talk to strangers. ”

Qin Mo pointed to the rooftop of the building, on which there was a scaffolding crawling with vines, "Go and wait there, it's cooler." ”

Star Swirl just wanted Qin Mo to leave quickly, but she didn't want to find Pei Yue's figure when her eyes fell on the rooftop, and then asked, "There seems to be a beautiful sister upstairs, do you know her?" ”

"Oh, the woman?" Qin Mo was thoughtful, the corners of his mouth curled and said, "I only know that she is a teacher, what, you are curious?" ”

"Teacher?" Star Swirl thought for a moment and clapped her hands, "No wonder I always thought she looked familiar." With that, Star Swirl trotted into the doorway, leaving Qin Mo behind.

Running all the way to the rooftop, Star Swirl stopped in front of the rooftop door out of breath, and gently pushed open a gap, Pei Yue's back fell into her eyes.

The energy lock vibrated violently, and Star Swirl turned on the possession function and reattached herself to Pei Yue, her hunch telling her that something was about to happen.

And a black shadow in the corridor behind him disappeared around the corner in a flash.
