Chapter 31 “Song’s Strange Behavior”

This Translation is hosted on https://bcatranslation.com/

As Song read the letter that was meant for herself, those tears uncontrollably begun to roll down due to the burst of emotions swirling from within. This was the first and only clue to Chu Yun’s departure, and now she’s finally got it in her hands…..

This emotional scene didn’t escape the audience’s eye and caused a huge stir among the female populous. It doesn’t take much for a woman to know when it’s a love letter, especially one that holds so much importance. As such, the bond of kinship has been built in this moment among this female populous.

Now for the boys watching this broadcast, they honestly couldn’t relate to what Song was feeling right now. In their minds, they only had those treasures in their mind. The golden house, the tree that brings endless life and the pearl that glows in the dark, even a tiny piece if taken would worth millions so how could they not be moved to look?

Oh what the heck. Straight to the point, woman are emotional creatures while men are greedy scums that only has money in their eyeballs for this picture. Bias? Yes, but that’s how it’s going to be.

……..

Men chat:

“Shit, Chu Daddy actually said these things are all garbage, does he have to be so cruel to us?”

“Upstairs, have you forgotten what the first door said? The end of all rich’s, is a pile of garbage!”

“Is this what you call leveling? Even the things that the three scum houses connive after is nothing but garbage in Chu Daddy’s mouth.”

“Sorry, please don’t compare the three scum houses to my Chu Father’s name, they are unworthy!”

Girl Chat:

“You men are so inconsiderate, can you atleast talk about how sad Song is? I’m watching this with my daughter in the living room and we can’t stop crying for her right now.

“Sisters, we need to support each other for during these hard times, otherwise there will be no light in this world. Men only has eye for our bodies and nothing else, it makes me feel so dirty just listening to their greediness.”

“I’m going to slap my boyfriend when we meet up later for our date. I know he is watching this right now from his home.”

……

Naturally the disgruntled wave of insults between men and woman are only limited to a certain segment of the population and didn’t represent the entire viewership. So, the conversation eventually returned to the issue at hand after the hotheads had their say.

“So what exactly happened to Chu Daddy that made him change his plans?”

“Who knows, it must be very sudden to effect Chu Daddy so much. Look at the handwriting from the letter, it’s so chaotic at the last bit. He likely left and said nothing because he didn’t want to worry Song.”

“Chu Daddy, hurry back, didn’t you say you were omnipotent? Your treasures are being eyed by those rats from the three scum houses, are you just going to take it?”

“For some reason I got an inexplicable sadness growing inside of me after seeing this letter. I hope Chu Daddy can solve the problem soon, otherwise I will start crying too!”

“I dare say if My Chu Daddy were here from the start, the three scum houses would be nothing, just a fart needed to be let loose!”

……

Regarding Chu Yun being omnipotence, the viewers naturally didn’t believe it and leaned towards it being an exaggerated metaphor. However, they are convinced the guy stood at the top of this world though with what he possessed!

National Security Bureau.

The Second Elder’s face had grown a little disappointed after being riled up like everyone earlier. Not because of Chu Yun’s wealth, but because he couldn’t speak with the guy yet.

“Li Tianlong, did anything big happen on Valentine’s Day?”

“Absolutely not,” Li Tianlong shook his head firmly.

If there really was such a big event then the whole world would have exploded a long time ago, why would they be still sitting around like this?

Old Wang’s villa.

“Chu Yun is too inconsiderate. His so-called garbage are treasures normal people can only ever dream of achieving!” Old Wang cried after they all heaved a long sigh.

Old Horse follows up, “I know right? I’m really curious on who he is to be able to say such insane things….”

“The attitude in his words can’t be faked, it’s too inherently natural. Also, his background must be incredibly big, big enough to scare someone to death!” Old Pony states after analyzing the information in his head.

He didn’t want to imagine what else could be there because poverty limits his imagination. It’s not good for his health to be repeatedly surprised after jumping to conclusion.

“It’s a shame Chu Yun’s identity is still a mystery after this far into the broadcast.” Old Wang shook his head while making a longing face for what’s to come.

It was the first time he wanted to watch a live broadcast considering his old age, and he doesn’t regret it. Every step has been a treasure hunt, full of excitement and the unknown. For those of his age that has one leg into the coffin, this incident was no different from being reinvigorated with life.

……

Fang Guofeng and the others spent several hours more after the discovery to scour the entire sky cave for more clues. They were hoping to find another door like before and open another room. Unfortunately for these investigators, they found nothing, thus bringing the event to a close for the day once night fell.

As for Guo Mingda of the National Museum who’s been eyeing the singer here and there, the art director repeatedly wanted to ask Song for sale of the Night Pearl and Sandalwood, but in the end, he just couldn’t bring himself to say it. They’re too valuable. Even if the museum had excellent security, the director couldn’t say confidently they wouldn’t be stolen by some thieves at night. Of course, there’s also the part of whether or not he could afford it with the funding under his disposal.

Many others were also in the same camp as Guo Mingda there. They wanted to procure the stuff here, but they knew it’s not the time to bother Song who was clearly bothered by the letter.

That night, countless people lost sleep over the event.

Some were disappointed more treasures weren’t discovered, some too enthusiastic to sleep, and some lamenting the fact they couldn’t buy the items. Of course, there’s also a minority of people in power worried about what the three great houses would do. Regardless of the woes, the whole internet was abuzz due to the broadcast.

Meanwhile inside Song’s home.

The singer’s three friends still didn’t leave yet after the departure of the others. They’ve been sitting on the sofa ready to comfort the lady of the house. However, unlike what they expected, Song’s following behavior left them all raising question marks over their heads.

For example, in order to not put anymore stress on the older sister, the three friends had prepared dinner together so Song wouldn’t have any weird thoughts of suicide with the knives in eye view. Yet, instead of losing her appetite like the three thought would happen, the older sister instead ate everything up with great enthusiasm.

This was a big red flag for the girls.

What’s going on here? Shouldn’t Sister Song lose her appetite and wash her face with tears like in the movies? Why is she able to eat so much? Wait, why are we the ones losing our appetite?

Unable to hold back her concern, it was Coco the school idol who finally asked: “Sister Song, are you okay?”

“?? Of course I’m fine.” Song responded with a smile, “Are you all full yet?”

“Uuuh, yes, we’re full…..”

“Then I’ll pack these dishes up.” Song went ahead and grabbed one of those takeout boxes and poured the leftovers inside.

Now this confused the three girls even more because they had no idea what the singer was planning to do with that. Regardless, it’s making them dreadfully uncomfortable inside.

How do we handle this situation?

They first looked at each other, then back to Song, then back at themselves before sighing heavily. In the end the girls chose to wait and see what’s going on before jumping to conclusion.

Song didn’t make any scene as she packed up the food with the container. However, the singer did head for the outside afterwards, which naturally worried the friends who promptly tailed her from the rear and out of sight.

Under the intense darkness of the night, one lady and three suspicious shadows moved in eerie silence without alerting anyone.

“Where is Sister Song going so late at night? It’s weird!” Spirit gulped after whispering her question.

“It’s over, it’s over, Sister Song wouldn’t have been possessed, right? I’ve read stories of these things happening. When one face a traumatic experience, their spirit is weakened and prone to ghosts taking over their bodies!” Coco starts making theories from the school stories she heard from the boys of her class.

Music hushes the youngest for the crazy theory, “If not, we can go up and ask Sister Song to stop and come home. It’s dangerous being out and alone this late at night.”

Coco immediately objects, “No, that’s the last thing we should do. What if she panics and starts running after we confront her?”

“Oh my, this is getting very serious. Brother-in-law’s disappearance must’ve been a major blow to Sister Song’s mental health. She might be having illusions or something….” Spirit starts to tear up from her own imagination.

Unaware of her followers, Song continued to walk away from her villa to a more isolated area of the gated community. It’s a rich neighborhood so there are plenty of grasses and flowers as well, just lacking in human presence due to the night and sparce habitants.

Finally, Song stopped at a bush and waited before issuing out a stretched out call: “Meow~”
