Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Reason
06040303030303 After the middle-aged woman entered, I had a feeling of doubt in my heart, and I just wanted to get out of the car and follow him into the alley. Suddenly, the phone rang. I took a look and it was a call from the store. The clerk told me that there were some things in the store that I needed to deal with now, and asked me to go back quickly. Damn, there's something going on at this point. I cursed in my heart. I said go back right away and let him wait.
I finally had the opportunity to know what Tang Hui and that strange middle-aged woman were doing. Of course, I didn't give up lightly, and after hanging up the phone, I got out of the car and prepared to go to the alley. However, when I walked into the alley, I found that Tang Hui and the middle-aged woman were gone. They must have left when I answered the phone, and it was not easy to know the truth of the matter, but I didn't expect to miss the opportunity like this.
Although I regret it, there are still things waiting for me to solve in the store. I didn't stop, so I quickly drove back to the company. As soon as he arrived at the company, Li Wei called. I asked him how he was. Is it any better, he said that last night was his best sleep in recent times. I asked him if Chen Xin had called. He said that Chen Xin called him early this morning and scolded him on the phone.
I smiled, knowing in my heart that he must have been scolded a lot. "And what did she say later?" I asked.
"What else can I say, it's for me to come back as soon as possible." Li Wei said, his tone full of helplessness. I told him not to be in a hurry, and to rest for a few more days. He said he knew, but before hanging up the phone, he asked me about the store. I told him not to worry about this, just take good care of his body, and leave the affairs of the store to me for the time being.
After taking care of the things in the store, it was already seven o'clock in the evening when I returned home, and when I was about to open the door and enter the house, Aunt Wang on the other side came back. I greeted her warmly, Aunt Wang is a good person, so I respect her. She smiled and said a few words to me, and then I went our separate ways.
Tang Hui was sitting on the sofa watching TV, and there were a lot of peeled fruits on the table. "Are you back, have you eaten?" Tang Hui greeted him with a smile on her face. She gently hugged me and kissed me on the cheek. In the past, as long as she came back, Tang Hui would do this, before those strange things happened, whenever she came home and she did this, I would feel very warm, and the tiredness of the day would suddenly be half better.
But now I don't have the same feeling, I don't know why, looking at her smiling face, I actually feel hairy in my heart. And her kiss was no longer as warm as before, and the kiss she had just kissed had an indescribable strange chill.
"Well, I've eaten it outside." Try to make yourself as normal as possible, I replied.
"Then let's eat some fruit, I bought a lot of it today." She pointed to the peeled fruit on the table and said. I took a look and said that I would take a shower before eating, and that I had been busy all day, and I was covered in the smell of sweat.
When I went into the bathroom, I checked the floor of the bathtub and shower to find no blood stains or whitish dandruff before I started to take a shower. Halfway through the show, the water stopped, and I was a little angry. Damn, these properties are rubbish, we pay the property management fee on time every month, and they can even do something like a water outage.
Annoyed, I knocked the shower head a few times. "Giggle 060606060606" Just a few times after knocking, there was a terrifying strange sound in the head of the shower, like the sound of a plate jamming, and like laughter, in short, very weird.
I shuddered and took a few steps back because there was still a lot of soap foam on my body, and I almost fucking hit the bathtub when I slipped my foot. The horrible noise grew louder and louder, and the whole bathroom was filled with it. I turned pale with horror and looked at the showerhead, could this bathroom really be haunted? I thought to myself, goosebumps all over my body.
Because I was afraid, I called Tang Hui a few times, but Tang Hui outside the bathroom didn't answer me. As soon as I wanted to get up and run out of the bathroom, suddenly the strange sound stopped abruptly, and after a while, the shower head sprayed water again. The terrifying sound was gone, and the only sound in the bathroom was the sound of rushing water, as if nothing had happened.
Was it just the strange sound of water flowing through the pipes? Yes, it must be so, I must not scare myself, there are no ghosts in the world. After comforting myself like this, I quickly rinsed off all the soap foam on my body. Although I repeatedly reminded myself that I was fine, the terrifying sound just now had been buried deep in my mind and could not be dispersed, and I was not in the mood to take a good shower again. I turned off the water, wiped myself clean, and quickly got dressed and went out.
When I went out, the TV was still on, but Tang Hui didn't know where to go. "Xiaohui, Xiaohui?" I shouted a few times, but no one answered me. No wonder when I called her in the bathroom just now, no one spoke, it turned out that she went out. But where will she go at night?
Just as he was wondering, Tang Hui came back from outside, still carrying a large box in his hand. "Where have you been, what's in this big box?" I walked over to help her carry the suitcase.
Seeing me, Tang Hui was a little surprised, and her face was a little flustered. "You, you've taken a shower, so fast?" Division of the Association.
"Well, come and give it to me." I was about to take the box from her, but she didn't want to give it to me, and she looked nervous, as if there was something unsightly in the box.
"No, it's not heavy, you just took a shower, don't get dirty again." She insisted on not giving it to me and carried the box into the kitchen.
I wondered and sat down on the couch, and in a moment she came out of the kitchen. I took a few bites of fruit and asked her what the box contained, and she said it was a kitchen utensil sent by a friend. I knew that Tang Hui liked to ask friends to help her buy some good kitchen utensils, so I didn't ask any more.
When I was tuning the TV channel, I happened to tune in to the TV to broadcast a news. According to the police investigation, it was found that a huge baby selling gang may be committing the crime, running around all over the country to commit crimes, and making money by selling babies.
"It's really inhumane, can they feel at ease when they make this money?" I lamented in my heart that human nature has been annihilated, and now people are really trying to make money, and they do anything that hurts nature and reason.
The parents of the missing babies on TV were crying in despair, and it was sympathetic to the news. inadvertently glanced at Tang Hui who was sitting next to him, and found that Tang Hui's face was pale and looked very strange. The expression was like pain, remorse, and fear.
I wondered and asked her what was wrong, and she shook her head and said it was okay. After a while, she said something faintly, not very comfortable, and then walked into the bedroom. Her face didn't look good, and I was a little worried and wanted to follow the bedroom, but as soon as I opened the door, I heard her sobbing quietly in the bedroom. I was about to push open the door and stopped, standing at the door and looking at Tang Hui lying on the bed, she was crying very sadly.
What's wrong, is it because of the news of baby trafficking just now? Her sudden crying made me wonder, but after thinking for a while, she was probably too emotional, and she couldn't help crying when she saw those poor parents. With a sigh, I closed the door.
In the past two days, I will take time to go to the hotel at noon to see Li Wei, this kid looks a lot better, and the haggard on his face is gone. And he was in a good mood, saying that he was very comfortable living here, and the only bad thing was that Chen Xin would call him three or four times a day to ask him when he would go back. Sometimes, just halfway through the talk, Chen Xin would lose his temper.
"Otherwise, I'll go back tonight, I'm afraid that if I continue to stay, Chen Xin will kill me then." He said nervously, probably thinking about Chen Xin's fierce appearance in his mind, and a lot of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
Seeing him like this, I scolded him a few times, saying that he was too cowardly. "You just stay a few more days, and I'll help you talk about it more over there." Because I haven't figured out the reason for the change between Tang Hui and Chen Xin, I don't want Li Wei to go back so early. Seeing that I was so insistent, Li Wei reluctantly agreed.
What I didn't expect was that in the afternoon of the same day, Chen Xin came to the company to make trouble. In the afternoon, when I was sitting in the office, Chen Xin walked in angrily, pointed at me and asked me where Li Wei was on a business trip and when he would come back. When I saw Chen Xin, I was surprised, because she didn't look like the Chen Xin I knew, not only did she become a lot more beautiful, but her skin was too good to say.
Her changes reminded me of Tang Hui, both of them have been getting pretty in weird ways lately. And Chen Xin's temper seems to be more irritable than before, just look at the way she is angry at this time.
She glared at me fiercely, as if she was going to eat me. Seeing her like this, I remembered that when I refused Tang Hui to do that, Tang Hui also had such a terrifying expression.
I didn't dare to provoke her, I forced a smile and said that Li Wei was coming back, so let her not worry. Chen Xin scolded me with a cold face before leaving, and I didn't dare to breathe when I was scolded by her. When she was gone, I breathed a sigh of relief. Paralyzed, this woman is too terrifying, I don't know how Li Wei can stand her.
When I went back in the evening, I met Aunt Wang again.
"Xiao Chen, have you and Xiaohui adopted a child?" For no reason, Aunt Wang suddenly asked.
I wondered, I didn't understand why she asked. "No, what's wrong?"
"That's strange, when I went downstairs today, I seemed to hear a baby crying from your room." Seeing that I looked puzzled, she hurriedly said again. "But it may also be that I misheard, people are old, and sometimes their ears are useless." After saying that, she sighed, opened the door and went into the house, leaving me standing in the corridor with a stomach full of questions.
"The cry of a baby?"
I don't know why, I suddenly remembered Tang Hui's expression when she saw the news of the baby trafficking gang last night, why did she show that expression?
