Miss Ghost was extremely confident that Pei Xingcheng would definitely accept her deal. It was a good deal and there was no reason for him to reject her.
Today, after realizing that someone was after Pei Xingcheng and this person wanted to kill him, she realized the reason behind her existence. She understood that their car accident was planned, and this person would not give up until he/she took Pei Xingcheng's life.
She was in this ghost form to save him. She was here for him.
Hence, she chose to propose this deal to him so that he would accept her existence in his life. As for the other part of the deal, the part where he would help her to get information about her, she was simply bluffing.
Because the doctor had forbidden anybody to tell him about her, she was sure that Big Brother would destroy every piece of information about her. Hence, there was no chance that Pei Xingcheng woudl be able to find anything about her.
"No! I refuse!"
Miss Ghost smiled knowingly, "I knew you would agree - wait, what? You refuse? Why?"
"Because I don't make deals with a ghost," he said simply.
"But you need me," she continued to press her point unhappily.
Pei Xingcheng shook his head. "You think I need you, but I don't. I have my big brother. He is a very powerful man and I am sure he would do everything to find out about the person who wants to kill me. With him being there for me, I don't need anybody's help."
Immediately, Miss Ghost's face fell and she didn't know how to make him agree to her deal. " Look, Xingcheng - "
"Miss Ghost," he interrupted her with a sigh. "Look, I thank you for helping me and saving my life, but that's it. I am sorry, I don't need your help. But for saving my life, I can do something for you. If you want, I can find information about you and help you. Maybe, in that way, your spirit can find peace and rest."
Miss Ghost didn't know what to say. He was not ready to agree with her. His face was smiling but the firmness in his eyes made her realize that he was not going to change his mind. She opened her mouth, trying to persuade him again, when suddenly the door flew open and a person rushed inside the room.
On seeing the person enter, Miss Ghost vanished from the room, leaving Pei Xingcheng all alone.
Seeing her gone, Pei Xingcheng felt a little ache in his heart but before he could think about that, his worried brother hugged him tightly. "Xingcheng, how are you? Are you okay? What happened?"
He broke the hug and looked up and down at his brother. "Are you hurt somewhere? Are you fine?"
Pei Xingcheng patted his elder brother's arm to calm him down. "Elder brother, calm down. I am fine. I am fine. Nothing happened to me."
Pei Qinshan was relieved to hear his brother's words, yet he called for the doctors to come in and give him a thorough checkup. Pei Xingcheng wanted to refuse but when he noticed his elder brother standing in front of him in his pajamas, with sweat covering his forehead and fear and concern masking his face, he relented silently.
The doctors came in and began their work.
After checking him thoroughly, they informed him that everything was fine and Pei Xingcheng wasn't hurt. Hearing that, Pei Qinshan was highly relieved but then his anger came up. He was highly upset to know about the hospital authorities and security.
To think that someone would pretend to be a nurse, enter his brother's room, and try to kill him made him angry. He looked at his younger brother and touched his head. "Xingcheng, did you see the assassin's face?"
"No, elder brother. He was wearing a mask," Pei Xingcheng answered.
"Did he say something else?"
"He said that someone hired him to kill me and he would come again for me."
Pei Qinshan cursed under his breath. When he thought of what happened two days ago and their loss, a dark current flashed through his eyes. That was no accident. It was a pre-planned murder. Somebody out there had hired an assassin to kill his brother.
Who could this be? Who hated his younger brother?
Suddenly, an image of a person flashed in his mind. No! His mind refused to accept that. It can't be her. No, she promised that she would never harm him. But, he knew how much she hated him.
Did she keep her promise? Or did she break it?
Pei Qinshan's heart dimmed and he hoped that the person behind Pei Xingcheng's accident would be someone else, and not her. If it turned out to be her, he didn't know how he would deal with her and face Pei Xingcheng. He would be broken into two parts.
Pei Xingcheng noticed the dark look on his brother's face and couldn't help but ask. "Elder brother, what are you thinking? You okay?"
Pei Qinshan gave him a weak smile.
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door. "Come in," Pei Qinshan ordered.
A bodyguard came inside the room holding a laptop and place it right in front of his boss. "Boss, this is the footage that you wanted to see."
Pei Qinshan nodded and looked at the screen. The bodyguards began to play the video, and soon Pei Xingcheng's room appeared on the screen. The bodyguard moved the cursor a little ahead and right there on the screen, Pei Xingchneg was sleeping on his bed. A moment later, he woke up, walked over to fill his glass, and was staring out the window.
"Brother, right at this time, that assassin will enter my room," Pei Xingcheng pointed out.
Everyone glued their eyes to the screen, waiting for the assassin to appear when suddenly, the screen went black. The bodyguard panicked and tried to look around, but nothing happened. The rest of the footage was just a black screen with white dotted lines on it.
