Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: In the water

Is that so ...

  Bai Yanliang was already certain that the Jiang Li who had just escaped was the real Jiang Li.

  The reason for this is not because of the strange behaviour of Jiang Li, as he said to Li Yuejun just now.

  His suspicion of the 'Jiang Li' on the sofa had arisen from the moment that Jiang Li had appeared on the stairs.

  Not because he could see through the truth, but in Bai Yanliang's opinion, seeing an identical version of himself and running away was the human reaction.

  Obviously, that Jiang Li's reaction was very real.

  So, where was that Jiang Li hiding now?

  Right now, alone, she was very, very dangerous ...

  'Miss Li, could you please help me investigate something? I suddenly remembered that there is something very important that I need to do. 'Bai Yanliang smiled apologetically at Li Yuejun.

  Li Yuejun was stunned, she hadn't fully recovered from the information that Bai Yanliang had just revealed, that Jiang Li might be a 'ghost', when she heard his request.

  She looked at Bai Yanliang in a daze and subconsciously nodded her head.

  'Please ...'

  Bai Yanliang moved closer to Li Yuejun and whispered a few words to her, Li Yuejun's face became more and more odd, but she still nodded her head, only looking at Bai Yanliang with a somewhat strange look.

  'Then, see you at six.'

  Bai Yanliang waved his hand and walked towards a corner without looking back, Li Yuejun looked at his back, but her face was a little pale.

  After all, the place he went to ... was the emergency escape stairs ah.

  ...

  Staff rest area, toilet.

  Zhang Wen's hair was messy, her face was full of water stains, and the basin was also full of water, she was mentally lax in cupping the water one by one and letting it flow around.

  'Sister Wen ...'

  Zhang Wen paused in her movements and looked back, suddenly grinning, 'Little Jiang ah.'

  Jiang Chaojie was her colleague, but not just any colleague.

  This young man in his twenties had been pursuing her for almost a month.

  But ... there were some things Jiang Chaojie didn't know, for example, Zhang Wen had been Ding Lei's mistress.

  'Is something wrong?' Zhang Wen turned her head and stopped looking at him.

  'Sister Wen ... I ... actually ...' Jiang Chaojie's face was a little white and a little excited, 'I actually saw ... about the boss's wife ...'

  Zhang Wen's body stiffened, twisting her head and saying coldly, 'What are you babbling about?'

  Jiang Chaojie's face was strange, seemingly fearful and excited, 'I ... I understand ... Sister Wen, I know it's useless to say anything to you, but ... Sister Wen, you have to remember ... that I like you, I like you more than anyone else!'

  Jiang Chaojie left, and Zhang Wen wordlessly watched his back until he disappeared around the corner.

  Then, she bent down, her arm stiffly cupping the water and slapping it onto her face.

  Then, she hung her head expressionlessly and quietly looked at her blurred face in the pool.

  However ... the face in the pool was not her face at all!

  It was another woman ... with a puffy, white face and eyes full of resentment ...

  Zhang Wen grinned at the corner of her mouth, as if she had gone crazy, reaching out to touch the face on the water, and softly said, 'Qiao'er, don't be afraid, sister will help you take revenge ... Sister will definitely, help you take revenge ...'

  ...

  Wu Jiayi was a waitress.

  Zhang Xiaohong beside her was also.

  'The boss's wife has been missing for almost a week, and she hasn't been found yet, alas ...' Wu Jiayi whispered as she washed up.

  Many people didn't know that the waiters at Ruyi Inn had a two and a half hour break after lunch, everyone could do whatever they wanted as long as they didn't make any noise, which was already a very good deal.

  Of course, most people would use those two hours for their lunch break.

  Wu Jiayi did so, and so did Zhang Xiaohong.

  When she heard Wu Jiayi's words, Zhang Xiaohong was a bit disdainful. 'Hmph, if I say ah, missing or not, that menopausal old woman can't give birth to a child temper viciously, the boss all said it doesn't matter the small things caught by her words, it is inevitably a scolding, now missing, everyone's ears are clean.'

  'Hush ... behind the back can not say people bad words ...' Wu Jiayi put up a finger whispered.

  'You, you are just too soft.' Zhang Xiaohong took her own towel and said as she entered the house, 'I'm going to take a nap, see you later.'

  Wu Jiayi watched her figure disappear behind the door and shook her head slightly.

  At this time, she unintentionally glanced at the mirror on the wall of the washstand, only to see a dark shadow burrowing into Zhang Xiaohong's house.

  Frightened, she hurriedly rubbed her eyes and looked back at Zhang Xiaohong's room.

  There was no movement.

  'Am I ... too tired?'

  Wu Jiayi muttered, only feeling chills around her body, she hurriedly hugged her things and went back to the house.

  'Tsk ... strange.'

  Zhang Xiaohong tossed and turned, having trouble falling asleep no matter what.

  Moreover, it was now September, and September in Yingcheng could be the time when the autumn tigers were poisonous, but strangely enough, she felt chilled all over while sleeping in her bed today.

  For this reason, not only did she switch off the fan, she even covered a thin layer of quilt, but even so, she still felt cold to the bone.

  Zhang Xiaohong wrapped the quilt once again and finally felt that something was wrong.

  'Who wet my quilt?'

  She rolled over and climbed up, lifting the quilt and looking at her bed suspiciously.

  From the covers to the sheets, it turned out to be completely soaked!

  'Shit, who did this! Who threw water on my bed! Don't let old me catch you!' Zhang Xiaohong was in her thirties and had a very spirited nature, and immediately pointed at the wall and cursed, not knowing who she was cursing.

  However, when she got out of bed and stepped on the ground, there was a 'plop' sound.

  Zhang Xiaohong looked down suspiciously, suddenly dumbstruck.

  What ... is going on here?

  Why ... is there water everywhere in the house!

  'Could it be that the water pipe is broken?'

  Zhang Xiaohong twisted her head and looked around, looking everywhere for the source of the water flow.

  However, every place was searched all over, she surprisingly could not find where the water came from at all.

  Zhang Xiaohong began to be alarmed.

  Something is wrong ... to go out, to leave the room to do so!

  Zhang Xiaohong's mind popped up this idea, and then when she took a step, only to find things bizarre.

  The water under her feet was unexpectedly unusually heavy!

  Although it wasn't deep, just submerged up to Zhang Xiaohong's ankles, it was hard enough that she couldn't lift her legs!

  Zhang Xiaohong panicked, fear spreading rapidly like a lit fire, quickly filling her heart.

  'How ... what's going on ah! Help ah! Is there anyone out there who can hear this? Quickly save me!'

  Sharp female voice pierced the wall, it is reasonable to be able to travel a long way, and even the whole hotel building can be heard to be right.

  But ... at this moment, the world was incredibly quiet.

  Zhang Xiaohong was trembling, dripping water stains dripping down her thighs, this bizarre to the extreme everything has made her on the verge of collapse.

  At this moment, a drop of water quietly dripped onto her forehead, causing Zhang Xiaohong to be creeped out.

  She subconsciously raised her head and looked towards the ceiling.

  At once!

  Her eyes were incomparably huge, the blood colour on her face faded cleanly, and her throat whimpered no longer able to utter a word ...
