Chapter 1639 - 1639 Matryoshka Doll
1639 Matryoshka Doll
Chi Shuyan had initially planned to leave after sorting Yang Ji out, but Yang Ji had gotten into a scuffle with Xia Mingcheng and not only revealed the inside story of Yan Liling’s death, but that Yuan Yuan was also involved; she had no choice but to stay for the time being.
Fortunately, she could still take one study period off. Counselor Zhang didn’t ask much and approved it. Afraid that Yang Ji and Xia Mingcheng would come to blows again on the street, she simply had everyone return to the private room in the cafe, and specially treated Yang Ji and the others to coffee.
After Yang Ji finished his cup of coffee, he finally remembered Master Chi and Director Feng. It seemed he had revealed something he shouldn’t have. Yang Ji was apologetic, but didn’t regret it. If Xia Mingcheng really married that Yuan woman one day, he would probably vomit blood.
Yang Ji sat facing Xia Mingcheng while the others sat next to him. Thinking of Xia Mingcheng and Yuan Yuan getting together, the anger in his heart increased and his face turned very unsightly.
!!
Xia Mingcheng’s face was also very unsightly and dark. Seeing that Yang Ji didn’t speak for a long while, he finally couldn’t help but ask, “What… did you mean just now?”
“It doesn’t matter what I mean. What’s important is, will you let Liling down?” Yang Ji said resentfully.
w.a.n.g Jinyang, Yi Junzhong and Li Xiaoyan originally wanted to stop the fight, but as soon as Yan Liling’s name came out, the private room fell silent, and no one dared to interrupt easily.
Chi Shuyan facepalmed at Yang Ji’s jealousy. Feng Yuanlin also looked helpless. In the end, Chi Shuyan could only tell Yang Ji to calm down before he explained the truth.
Yan Liling had been targeted and killed by that Yuan woman because of Xia Mingcheng. When Yan Liling noticed something was wrong, she had wanted to ask Master Chi for help, but was stopped by that Yuan woman, who persuaded her to look for another Master. This Master was found by that Yuan woman, and Liling was killed a few days later.
This fact obviously shocked Xia Mingcheng and also deeply shocked w.a.n.g Jinyang and Yi Junzhong, mainly because they had never suspected Yuan Yuan at all. In addition, when Liling was still alive, Yuan Yuan could be said to be one of her closest friends, so they had never suspected that Liling’s death had anything to do with Yuan Yuan.
As for Li Xiaoyan, her expression was very normal, as if Yang Ji’s words were within her expectations. She just frowned, deep in thought.
Xia Mingcheng’s lips still trembled in disbelief. He didn’t believe that Yuan Yuan liked him, nor did he want to believe that his girlfriend had been killed because of him.
But Yang Ji’s tone was too confident, which made Xia Mingcheng feel very uncertain.
If Liling really had been killed because of him… Xia Mingcheng really couldn’t bear the truth. He subconsciously denied it and suddenly stood up and raised his voice. “Impossible, impossible, she can’t like me. My mother said before that she wanted to matchmake me and Yuan Yuan, but Yuan Yuan rejected her. She can’t like me.”
Yang Ji snorted. “Whether that Yuan person likes you or not, you know it yourself! I don’t believe you haven’t suspected it!”
Yang Ji’s last sentence directly dealt a blow to Xia Mingcheng. He fell into a dead silence and his face froze. He sat motionless, like a wax sculpture. There was no expression on his face.
Watching Yang Ji and Xia Mingcheng settle old scores, Chi Shuyan felt it shouldn’t be a big problem. Taking advantage of the moment, she whispered a few words in Brother Feng’s ear, then softly pulled open the door of the private room and left for school.
When Yang Ji came back to his senses after he was done arguing with Xia Mingcheng, he realized that Master Chi wasn’t around. Yang Ji’s first reaction was panic; he was afraid that Master Chi was angry at him for leaking information to settle an old grudge.
He immediately stopped arguing with Xia Mingcheng and asked Director Feng anxiously, “Director Feng, where’s Master Chi?”
Feng Yuanlin heaved a sigh of relief when he thought that this kid was finally done. To be honest, he could understand the anger in Yang Ji’s heart, but this kid was really impulsive and hot-headed. It was just that his words were all about getting revenge for Yan Liling; honestly, it was quite laudable. Feng Yuanlin pinched the s.p.a.ce between his eyebrows. Seeing how anxious Yang Ji was, he could only sigh and say, “Shuyan still has cla.s.s. She went back to school first!”
Yang Ji had really forgotten that Master Chi was a student, and his eyebrows twitched. The others were also shocked when they heard this, but Feng Yuanlin’s reason didn’t comfort Yang Ji at all. Yang Ji was really worried that Master Chi was angry with him, and he said anxiously, “Director Feng, just… just… just now, was Master Chi angry with me?”
“Don’t think too much. Shuyan just went to school, but the two of you should resolve your issues as soon as possible. After that, come back with me to the police station!” After saying that, Feng Yuanlin looked at the absent-minded and pained Xia Mingcheng and hinted, “Mr. Xia, what Yang Ji revealed today is a secret. I hope you don’t reveal it to anyone else yet, and don’t make Miss Yuan suspicious!”
He said this to Xia Mingcheng, but his eyes swept over w.a.n.g Jinyang, Yi Junzhong and Li Xiaoyan. The three immediately understood and expressed that they would keep it a secret.
Feng Yuanlin continued, “Since everyone knows about this, you should also know that this Miss Yuan probably isn’t as good a person as you think. Please try not to be alone with her as much as possible in the future. If anything happens, I can’t take responsibility. Of course, if this Miss Yuan contacts any of you again, please let us know immediately.”
Everyone took Feng Yuanlin’s words to heart. Compared with Yuan Yuan, who was hiding half the truth, everyone was more willing to trust Director Feng as a police officer.
That night, as expected, Yuan Yuan had the same nightmare after she went back home, and she woke up late at night.
Although it was the same dream, Yuan Yuan was really scared out of her wits this time, when the dream froze on the final scene of her face and brain being torn out.
She was so scared that her face was deathly white and she was covered in sweat. Her heart turned cold and the chill that ran up from the bottoms of her feet made her s.h.i.+ver.
Her hands trembled as she hurriedly turned on the light. The bright light seemed to bring her back to life, and her mood settled a little. She gasped and looked around in bewilderment. After confirming that there was nothing, she sighed with relief. Still, when she couldn’t find the source of her uneasiness, and coupled with the fact that she didn’t have a good temper, Yuan Yuan couldn’t take it anymore, and directly swept everything off the table that was next to the bed.
The things fell to the floor and shattered into pieces.
How could this be? How could this be?
This was the second time she had this nightmare, and Yuan Yuan felt even more uneasy. She didn’t feel safe at all, and had a feeling that if she continued having this nightmare and didn’t do anything about it, that would be her end.
How could she accept this?
She didn’t want to die.
Not only did she finally have some ‘abilities,’ she also had to achieve her goal. Recently, Mother Xia had been insisting on matchmaking her with Mingcheng, and said that Mingcheng would definitely agree to marry her sooner or later. Since Mother Xia was so confident, Yuan Yuan naturally ‘relented’ a little.
Seeing that she was about to achieve her goal, how could she die? How could she die?
She couldn’t accept it, she really couldn’t accept it. The more Yuan Yuan thought about it, the more hideous and terrifying her face became. It hadn’t been easy for her to get rid of everyone in her way. Yan Liling and Lin Dong were dead; how could she die now?
Anyone who wanted her to die could die first!
Yuan Yuan gritted her teeth and called out the name “Yang Ji.” There was the rusty taste of blood in her mouth. Not only did Yuan Yuan not cry out in pain, her eyes suddenly zeroed in on a safe not far away, and a strange and terrifying smile appeared on her face.
Chai Qing and Huang Chong heard the commotion and immediately rushed to the door to knock. Chai Qing hurriedly asked, “Sister Yuan, are… are you okay? Sister Yuan!”
Huang Chong was also worried that something had happened to Yuan Yuan like before, so he simply kicked the door open. He really kicked the door open, and the two of them rushed in together. Yuan Yuan obviously didn’t expect the two of them to suddenly come in. Her face changed drastically and she suddenly scrambled to turn around. It was just that the two of them came in too quickly, and Yuan Yuan’s left hand accidentally hit the dressing table. She groaned in pain, and something clattered to the floor.
From where they were standing, Chai Qing and Huang Chong vaguely saw a matryoshka doll fall at Yuan Yuan’s feet. Huang Chong was curious and wanted to ask what it was, so he walked over to help pick it up, but Yuan Yuan was already scrambling to pick it up first. She looked at the two of them with a furious and cold face, and her gaze was especially terrifying.
“Get lost!”
