Chapter 48

(It’s here again…)

Lin Wu furrowed his brows slightly and turned his head back.

Behind him, there was a storage room not far away. The door of the storage room, which was originally painted red, was aged from the faded color. The door also wasn’t closed tightly, and there was a gap in-between.

And in the darkness behind the gap, he could clearly see a ghastly pale face with bloodshot eyes glaring at him. The eyes seemed as though they were about to protrude out.

They contained hatred and bitter resentment, and just a glance from it was enough to cause people to shiver with fear.

This was not the first time.

Ever since the matchmaker tied a red string on his wrist, there was only one female ghost that suddenly appeared around him. If he was right, that ghost should be his ‘new wife’.

Lin Wu had always been suspecting that maybe the female ghost’s obsession was to stay together with him forever. This was because she had been hiding in the dark and clearly viewing him with hatred, yet she didn’t act against him. So, no matter how much she hated him, she couldn’t kill him.

However, not only did the female ghost not hide away this time, it was glaring at him behind the storage door. It seemed that her hatred of him had increased.

Lin Wu’s heart couldn’t help but stir.

It was normal for a female ghost that was tormented by the matchmaker to hate him.

But why would her hatred of him increase?

Was it because he had done something that directly went against her obsession?

Lin Wu suddenly turned and glanced at Chen Ning. A guess involuntarily appeared in his heart.

“Teacher…you said that Pei Jianing has died?”

Chen Ning was dumbstruck and couldn’t help but ask, “Was it because of my ex-girlfriend? Xia Bing?”

Lin Wu leaned against the corridor’s window, whereby the corner of his eyes could see the storage room. He then asked, “On 10th June, or before that, did you break up with Xia Bing?”

The sensation of chill became more intense, and the resentment in the eyes hiding in the storage room grew deeper.

“How did you know?” Chen Ning had a puzzled look on his face. He then continued, “I remember very clearly it was on 10th June. That day, I overheard Xia Bing’s conversation with someone else on the phone. It was only then did I learn that she wanted to frame Pei Jianing. Hence, I broke up with her.”

Lin Wu shook his head and softly spoke, “It was precisely because you broke up with her that Xia Bing decided to find someone to break Pei Jianing’s legs. She then tossed her onto the road and caused her to die from being rammed by a car.”

As they spoke, Lin Wu cast another glance in the direction of the storage room.

The gap widened. The rays of light that entered the room from the gap made the ghastly pale face more terrifying and sinister. The hatred in those eyes was so full that they seemed to be overflowing, as though they wanted nothing more than to flood over and devour him.

If a look could kill, Lin Wu would most probably be diced into pieces and ground into meat paste.

“Xia Bing broke Pei Jianing’s legs?”

Chen Ning was stunned. After that, he shook his head in disbelief. “How can that be? Although Xia Bing was a little unruly, she wouldn’t have done such a cruel thing, right?”

“Even if she was soft-hearted toward you, it doesn’t mean she would act the same to others.”

Lin Wu glanced at him. “It’s fine if you don’t believe me. In any case, you are Xia Bing’s ex-boyfriend. After some time, the police should be looking for you to ask some questions. At that time, you will know whether what I said was the truth or not.”

Chen Ning fell silent. It was unknown what he was thinking or whether he was agreeing tacitly with Lin Wu’s words.

Lin Wu cast another glance at the storage room, but he started slightly.

The gap had widened to a large extent, but the female ghost in it had vanished.

Where did she go?

Lin Wu’s heart suddenly felt nervous.

“Teacher, I also didn’t expect that Xia Bing would actually be so extreme.” Chen Ning’s expression was heavy. “Why would she suddenly become like this?”

“Maybe it was because of her family upbringing.” Lin Wu shook his head.

“But…Xia Bing’s parents are all good people. Back then when they knew Zhang Yuqing was bullied by Xia Bing, they even took the initiative to apologize to Zhang Yuqing.” Chen Ning sighed and continued, “Maybe it was because they doted on Xia Bing too much, which led to this.”

“Xia Bing’s parents apologized to Zhang Yuqing?”

When Lin Wu heard this, he couldn’t help but believe his conjecture more.

Zhang Yuqing’s only friend was Pei Jianing. But when Pei Jianing was harmed and died due to Xia Bing, Zhang Yuqing didn’t dare to say the truth. It was as if she was afraid of something.

Earlier, he had thought that it was Xia Bing’s parents who had threatened Zhang Yuqing, and this was why Zhang Yuqing hadn’t dared to say the truth.

This included her being a witness. Zhang Yuqing had forcibly endured much terror before she finally agreed to become a witness.

Now that he thought carefully about it, Pei Jianing had saved Zhang Yuqing. Maybe…the reason for Zhang Yuqing’s terror wasn’t Pei Jianing.

From the looks of things now, it might have very well been Xia Bing!

Lin Wu had guessed that since Xia Bing most probably didn’t have any especially strong obsession or resentment, she wouldn’t become a ghost after her death. Hence, he had never thought that his ‘new wife’ would be Xia Bing.

After all, Xia Bing caused Pei Jianing to die. This was why Pei Jianing had taken revenge and killed her after becoming a malicious ghost. This was retribution as Xia Bing deserved to die.

Now, he had another guess…Xia Bing’s obsession might very well be Chen Ning!

After being dumped by Chen Ning, she, an underaged girl, could actually be deranged enough to break the legs of a classmate. After that, she even tossed her classmate onto the road. From this, one could tell how intense her obsession with Chen Ning was.

This obsession caused Xia Bing to become a ghost.

No wonder Xia Bing would hate Lin Wu so much. After all, he was exposing all her evil acts to the guy she loved. Her hatred of him would naturally increase.

“Teacher, what’s wrong?”

Chen Ning saw Lin Wu’s expression flickering and couldn’t help but ask.

“Nothing.” Lin Wu drew in a deep breath and shook his head, yet he felt a little scared in his heart.

Xiao Qin had said before that if female ghosts only had the obsession to stay with him forever, no matter how much they hated him, they couldn’t kill him.

But if they had other obsessions to support their existence and if they hated him too much, they might very well choose to sever a part of their ‘flesh’ and discard their obsession of staying together with him. At that time, they might kill him.

Right now, he was completely shitting on Xia Bing before the guy Xia Bing loved. In that case, Xia Bing…

Lin Wu’s heart grew a little cold. He couldn’t help but curse silently… he must have been drunk! What happened to him exactly in the future? Why would a female ghost like Xia Bing even become his wife?

“Cough, Student Chen Ning.”

After that, Lin Wu revealed a smile and friendly said, “Let’s walk together. I can send you home if you want.”

“Thank you, teacher.” Chen Ning didn’t suspect anything and nodded straight-forwardly.

“Alright.” Lin Wu heaved a sigh of relief silently in his heart.

Since Xia Bing’s obsession was Chen Ning, as long as Lin Wu was together with him, Xia Bing most probably wouldn’t act, right?

Lin Wu then chatted with Chen Ning about matters of no significance as they walked down the stairs. Very soon, they reached the entrance of the mathematics building.

“My car is nearby, over in that direction.”

After pointing at a direction, Lin Wu stepped out of the entrance of the mathematics building. The stone in his heart was also placed down.

Why? To guard against the unexpected, he drove his car into the campus today.

At this moment…

“Chen Ning! Don’t be in a hurry to leave, you have to take your test paper first!” A loud shout suddenly rang out from above.

Lin Wu inclined his head. From class three on the third floor, a male student with a crew cut stuck his head out of the window and shouted to Chen Ning.

“Oh, I was too anxious to ask about Zhang Yuqing’s circumstances and have forgotten it.”

Chen Ning clapped his hand to his forehead and hurriedly spoke to Lin Wu, “Teacher, I will be heading up to take the test paper, why don’t you leave first?”

After speaking, he rapidly turned and ran back up the mathematics building.

Lin Wu started slightly. He was thinking to call out and say that he would go together with Chen Ning. But he changed his mind all of a sudden. In any case, his car wasn’t far away. He would reach it after walking for tens of meters. Also, Xia Bing might not dare to act.

After drawing a deep breath, Lin Wu hurriedly walked in the direction of his car.

As long as he reached the 10-meter radius of his car, Pei Jianing would be able to protect him.

Just when he took a step out…

A black shadow suddenly fell from the sky, abruptly falling on the ground before Lin Wu.

BANG!

A tall female student with slightly dark skin fell down headfirst. Her head ruthlessly smashed onto the ground, and the crisp sounds of bones breaking could be heard!

Lin Wu’s pupils narrowed as he subconsciously took a few steps back.

After that, the girl’s body twitched as she pulled herself up. However, her legs were already completely broken; she basically had no way to stand up.

She struggled to raise her ghastly pale and malevolent face. While bleeding from all seven apertures and twitching continuously, she stared maniacally at Lin Wu with a look of bitter resentment!

It was none other than Xia Bing!
