Chapter 2 Strong Sales Pitch >

gleam. Young lady… please don’t come closer… don’t approach me…"Where to Ka'er, you lead the way...""Yes, Master Chen...""You can still call me Miss, just like you did when I was twenty-nine..." Chen..."Miss, let me tell you, I have a pair of bracelets here, they're waiting for their owner. Look how pitiful they are, nobody wants them. Just take them away, eh Hehe!" The thin, dark-skinned middle-aged man was the owner of those hands.

Chen Zixuan relaxed his whole body. It turned out to be a sales pitch, he thought it was some kind of weird old man, and almost threw a bag at his head.

“No, thank you!” Chen Zixuan hadn’t spoken in a long time. When she finally did, her throat felt scratchy. She moved to the right, trying to get past this middle-aged man. But this man was also a skilled one. He had seen through her plan and squeezed her wrist even harder, making her bones ache.

"What's going on Are you trying to force this on me This is too much! Let go of me, I don't need it!" Chen Zixuan's voice rose in pitch, the tearing pain in her throat making her even angrier. Her small face flushed red with excitement.

"Hey—I'm saying, miss, this is how you make me feel! I have no intentions towards you, you can rest assured! Old Zhong wouldn't be that bad, right Come on, put your suitcase down for a bit and come over here to try it on. It won't take you much time at all. Look, it really suits you!" As he spoke, the middle-aged man tried to force the bracelet onto her hand.

Chen Zi-xuan hated being forced into things, so she didn't even want to look at the bracelets. She pushed her suitcase away from the strange old man: "Mister, I don't want it. You keep it for yourself!"

“Hey, I’m telling you this girl, why are you running off Just put it on first, okay This is a treasure, from ancient times, very valuable! Come here, come here, put it on.” The middle-aged man tried to force her to wear the bracelet.

"Hey, old man, are you trying to pull a scam on me I won't fall for it, don't shove this at me!" Chen Zixuan struggled against the old man's grip while backing away.

"I said, you little girl, this is what your fiancee plans to buy here."

"My fiancé What's his last name" Chen Zixuan grabbed the older man's wrist, staring straight at him.

Oh, I'm embarrassed. Did I get this wrong I just said a random name and it was right! I thought the ring on his middle finger was just for decoration, but turns out he really has a fiancée. Well now, what's that guy's last name I have no idea.

"Surname, surname, surname Zhong, right Me, me and you share the same surname. Hehe." The old man's eyes darted left and right.

"Right, right, what did he tell you" Chen Zixuan was now completely oblivious to the old man's expression, only eager to ask about Yun Jie.

“You, you let go!” The middle-aged man was pinched and a little unhappy. He couldn't shake Chen Zixuan’s hand off. Sigh, he really didn't expect it, this girl really had a lot of strength when she got angry, there was no way to break free.

"I'm so sorry, sir. I don't know if you know my fiancé, but... well, I don't know where he is right now and I'm very worried about him. Did he say anything to you" Chen Zixuan hurriedly smiled apologetically.

Seeing Chen Zixuan ascend the path, the middle-aged man quickly put the bracelet on her hand and rubbed his hands together: "He said he's waiting for you ahead, asking you to go see him wearing this bracelet. Go quickly! I'll sell you the bracelet for 500."

Although she knew this old man was a scam artist, in Chen Zixuan's current state, she would give him any amount of money. As long as someone told her that Zhong Yunjie was still alive, even if it meant paying for peace of mind, she would do it.

"Alright, here's the money. Where is he If you lie to me, I'll come back and find you!" Chen Zixuan took out the money and shoved it into the old man's hand.

"Erm, I can't lie to you anymore, hehe. You go straight ahead first, left turn at the red light, right turn at the second intersection, then right again after crossing the street, he's there, no mistake."

“The hospital! I knew he wasn't dead! Thank you!” Chen Zixuan excitedly grasped the other hand of the old man, then quickly turned around and pulled her suitcase forward. Due to using too much force, her hand was scratched by the old man’s watch without realizing it, and the wound was deep, bleeding. She supported her fringe with that same hand, so the blood flowed down onto the bracelet and quickly disappeared, the bracelet faintly glowed because it was sunny day, and Chen Zixuan was immersed in ecstasy, she didn't pay attention at all.

"Was I cursed today or something Everything I said came true, haha, earned 500 for free! Huh Where did the blood come from What bad luck!" The middle-aged man wiped his watch and left.

"Mommy, mommy, look! That sister was taken away by a bright light, is she an alien" A child tugged on her mother's hand and cried out. The mother turned to look, but saw nothing: "It's broad daylight, what nonsense are you talking about Walk properly."

“Really, I’m not lying to you. That elder sister was wearing a white dress with hair so long and beautiful. She was just there, right there! I saw her, really saw her! She was even calling me!” The child's milky voice and clear eyes made the mother believe him. Watching the excited child gesticulate wildly, the mother felt a chill run down her spine.

Following the child's finger, the mother recalled a news report she had seen on TV a few days ago. According to eyewitnesses, an American boy had been taken away by a beam of light and then disappeared, seemingly from right here, at this very corner. The more she thought about it, the creepier it felt.

This is all about children being able to see things that adults can't. Could it really be true...

"Alright, that's enough. Let's go home!" Mom hurriedly picked up the child and rushed away from the place. What bad luck, to encounter a ghost even in broad daylight! Next time, she wouldn't take the shortcut. Mom silently noted the location in her mind.

Thus, the corner returned to its eerie stillness, as if nothing had happened. Even the leaves carried by the wind lay slowly on the ground...rst. Chen Zixuan, with the help of Twenty-Nine, climbed onto the carriage with a flushed face and awkward movements...In the carriage, Rui Tian sat calmly in the middle, his clothes without a wrinkle....
