“Then forget it, let’s just leave it at that!”

“Ayun, I’m so sorry! It seems like this ‘pregnancy brain’ really lasts three years for me! I didn’t even clarify such a simple little detail and caused the company to suffer losses.”

“It’s okay! We just need to adjust the production line. Actually, Gu Yuanzhou once produced children’s clothing for a while, it’s just that he didn’t break into that market.”

“Alright then!”

Because the exhibition wasn’t very effective, we wrapped up and left in a hurry after just one day.

For some reason, I always felt like Ding Yinuo seemed to be observing me.

Just standing over by his exhibition booth, staring at me.

That gaze was deep, incisive.

Looking at the person who used to be closest to me, and now slowly becoming a stranger, I actually wanted to confront him and ask for clarity, but in the end, I chose silence.

Forget it!

Although Wenya has been urging me to rent another apartment in the city, I refused.

I still like the feeling of living on Beilu Hill.

I feel like this is where I belong.

On weekends when I don’t have to work, I like to stay here as well.

I moved the lounge chair to the backyard, to the spot near the mountain where a small patch of sunlight could reach.

I would lie there, sunbathing, and sometimes I would fall asleep unintentionally and dream of some of the good old times.

It was another afternoon…

When I woke up, I suddenly found an extra blanket on me.

At first, I didn’t think it was strange, but on second thought, something wasn’t right.

Because it was summer, all my blankets were put away in the closet, and I never took them out.

I certainly couldn’t have brought them to the courtyard.

How could this be possible?

My first reaction was to tell me that someone had been in my house.

I grabbed the blanket and hurried into the living room.

But there was no one there, in the living room, in the bedroom, in the bathroom, all empty.

Even the breeze was blowing in through the windows, the curtains swaying, and flower petals from the vase scattering all over the floor, it didn’t seem like anyone had been there.

I walked quickly to the door and tried the lock with my hand, it was locked, and it wasn’t opened.

I sat down on the sofa and then called Wenya.

“Uh, I always feel like… there’s someone in my house?”

“I’ve warned you before, that area is too remote; if some pervert sneaked into your house, it wouldn’t be anything unusual.”

“No, Wenya, what I mean is… I feel like he’s back!”

“Who’s back?”

I was silent for a while, “It’s Gu Yuanzhou! He’s back!”

“Hiss!!!”

After hearing this, Wenya gasped in shock.

If I had mentioned this name in the past, she would definitely have scolded me harshly.

But this time, she didn’t scold me. She just steadied my nerves and then said,

“Dinner’s on me tonight!”

“What’s the dinner for this time?”

“Just come, there’s a surprise!”

Wenya’s cryptic words left me a bit puzzled…

She said she was inviting me to dinner, but these two came over in just an hour, and it was only three or four in the afternoon.

“`

After Wenya entered the room, she pointed to the urn on the altar and spoke with a hint of panic.

“Ayun, can you find a cemetery and bury him first? Otherwise, look, we’re too scared to come over at night. You know, I was quite afraid of him when he was alive. Now that he’s turned into a ghost, damn it, I get the sense that he’s out to get me as soon as I come over, and my neck feels icy cold!”

I actually had a plan in my mind to find a suitable time to bury Gu Yuanzhou.

But I couldn’t bring myself to make that decision.

Just like what happened during the day, I always had the eerie feeling that it was Gu Yuanzhou’s doing.

Therefore, there was a bit of irrational hope in me that made me feel, if I didn’t bury his ashes, it would feel like he was always by my side.

“Wenya, let me think about it some more. I’ll go to the nunnery in a few days to talk to his aunt.”

“Fine, fine!”

Wenya was really afraid of Gu Yuanzhou.

She didn’t stand in the living room for a few seconds before she hastily escaped.

No matter how much I urged, she refused to come back in.

I cleaned up a bit and got on Su Peisheng’s car.

On the car, the two people were talking, but Su Peisheng stopped talking immediately when he saw me open the car door and get in.

“Uh, I heard it all, it’s okay, just keep talking, it’s about Song Shixiong’s case, right?”

Su Peisheng nodded,

“Yeah! Recently, we’ve received a lot of complaints. The old cases Song Shixiong was involved in… have all been dug up.”

“Oh, what cases?”

“Forced eviction in East River Village leading to the death of a villager. Illegal bribery causing a building to be substandard and collapse. Assisting a young master in sexual assault, making false testimonies to absolve him of the crime, resulting in the victim’s suicide… These cases, originally pointed at Gu Yuanzhou, are now found to be orchestrated by Song Shixiong.”

After listening to Su Peisheng, I just responded with an “Oh.”

When I collected these materials, it was only to prove that Gu Yuanzhou was a bad person. Unexpectedly, even these were done by Song Shixiong.

Wenya asked curiously, “Now that Gu Yuanzhou is gone, who’s helping him seek justice?”

“It could be someone anonymously submitting materials, but, the case is being handled by Zhou Chenming… He’s Gu Yuanzhou’s top lackey.”

Wenya said, “Gu Yuanzhou is no longer here, even if the case is overturned, that lawyer Zhou wouldn’t get paid, right? He’s working for nothing.”

I stared out the car window at the fleeting scenery, lost in deep thought.

If it was Zhou Chenming handling these cases, why wouldn’t he want to mention Gu Yuanzhou in front of me?

“So what’s the deal with Song Shixiong’s case? When will it be over?”

“Not sure, because there are so many cases involved. Now so many victims’ complaints have been unearthed. I reckon it’s not something that can be sorted out quickly; it’ll take some time!”

The car continued to move forward and soon stopped at the entrance to the hospital.

After getting out of the car, I looked at Wenya, “Why have we come to the hospital?”

Wenya, without hesitation, grabbed my hand and hurried me inside, taking me straight to Jia Musen’s clinic, “Doctor Jia, please take a look at her. This woman keeps having hallucinations, seeing people who have died.”

Jia Musen seemed pleased to see me, “Take a seat, sit down! Hallucinations, you say? No worries, I’ll give you an examination!”

“I really don’t have a sickness, oh my God, you guys…”

“Actually, you don’t need to be nervous. It’s very common for many people to have hallucinations of seeing the deceased after losing a loved one. It’s normal, and it can usually be treated with some medication. Really, you shouldn’t avoid seeking help for an illness.”

“I really don’t have an illness!”

“Wait, Ayun, all you need to do is let Doctor Jia examine you. If there’s nothing wrong, I’ll take you away immediately, without any delay.”

To put Wenya at ease, I went along with Jia Musen’s examination.

After the examination, Jia Musen gave me the diagnosis, “Strange, your current condition isn’t depression… Never mind, it’s all right! No medication needed. If you see hallucinations again, come find me.”

After walking out of the hospital, Wenya was a bit more relieved, “It’s not like I wanted to make you see a doctor on purpose, but you always seeing Gu Yuanzhou isn’t good either. Since it’s not an illness, then maybe there are ghosts. I think you’d better hold a ritual to help him move on, so he won’t keep haunting you.”

“I’m speechless, what are you even thinking!”

Su Peisheng was more clear-headed, “Ghosts aren’t scary, what’s scary is living people pretending to be ghosts.”

I looked at him quizzically, “What do you mean by that?”

“I mean, maybe you should install a surveillance camera. Just as a precaution, in case someone is impersonating Gu Yuanzhou!”

“I don’t understand. If someone truly were impersonating him, what would be the point of doing that?”

“`
