False evidence

Chapter 105 Past Lives and Present Lives (Part 1)

Yan Fengwei sighed and said, "Silly girl, do you think he's a fool? I can tell you really like my brother. You're only saying this because you don't want him to be sad for you."

Pidan's smile turned bitter, and he struggled to raise his hand, placing his palm on my cheek:

"I didn't expect it to be so fast. Just pretend... just pretend today was a dream. When I'm being lifted into the ambulance, don't get in. Turn around, count to three, and the dream will end."

I grasped her other hand, which had already lost its warmth, and said in a hoarse voice:
"It's a dream, but once it begins, you'll never wake up unless you live out your whole life."

Before Pidan could say anything more, Yan Fengwei interrupted urgently:

"Alright, girl, stop talking. We'll be fine, okay? I haven't known Sanqi for long, but I can tell he's a loyal and manly guy. You have to hang in there for his sake!"

He wiped his eyes. "Actually, when it comes to men and women, it's just that kind of thing. But for some people, just one glance is enough for a lifetime. It's not something anyone can just forget. Take me and your sister-in-law, for example. Before I met her, I was quite the playboy. But the moment I saw her, I knew she was the one for me."

I've been with more than one woman, but I only have this one silly woman. When she gets sick or injured, I feel even worse than she does! At first, I was genuinely scared about this whole thing, but after watching the video and finding out she was infected too, I suddenly wasn't afraid anymore. I thought to myself, if I can't get over this, I'll die over her head.

If I die and become a ghost, I'll fight that bastard in the Wind-Listening Bottle to the death! It would be best if I could save my woman's life, but if we both die... then I'll wait for the next life, the life after that, and the life after that... I'll find her no matter what, and be with her again!

"Is everything you're saying true?" a voice asked.

Meng Zhen appeared outside the attic at some point. She was already small, and she was wrapped in a large raincoat as she stood in front of the extinguished brazier.

She had her head down, so I couldn't see her face clearly, but I could see her eyes were fixed on Yan Fengwei.

"You silly woman, what are you still doing standing outside like an idiot at this point? Hurry up and come in!"

As Yan Fengwei spoke, he tried to go over and pull her away.

I suddenly had a strange feeling, looked up at the digital clock on the wall, and suddenly exclaimed: "Don't go over there!"

Yan Fengwei stopped and looked at me with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?"

"She is not Meng Zhen!"

"What did you say?"

"Anyway... don't go over there!"

I can't explain why, because it was just a feeling.

My son, Pidan, suddenly fell ill. I was completely disoriented and spent a lot of time trying to get him to sleep. It was already past eleven o'clock.

Although it's not the 16th yet, I remember Old Bai saying:
The period from midnight (11 PM to 1 AM) is the time of day when Yin energy is at its strongest, and it is also the time when certain things are most likely to appear.

Yan Fengwei, being older and more experienced, though his expression was grim, still stood still and asked Meng Zhen:

Where did we first meet?

Meng Zhen sneered: "Fengcheng, Fengxia Alley."

Yan Fengwei was shocked: "You're not Xiao Zhen!"

"Hehe, I am Xiao Zhen, I always have been, but you have long forgotten."

"I don't care who you are, my wife and I have no grudge against you. If you just want to hurt someone, come at me, don't mess with my wife!"

Yan Fengwei clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, and the veins on his forehead bulged out.

I looked at the candles in the four corners of the room; they were unchanged. Then I looked at the candles and millet on the table; they were also perfectly normal. Although I couldn't see Meng Zhen's face clearly, I could tell from her tone of voice that she was no longer the original Meng Zhen, but had been possessed by an evil spirit!

The evil spirit in the bottle refused to follow the 'right path' I laid out, and instead went straight for Meng Zhen. This matter is unlikely to end well.

Pidan gently pinched my cheek and asked, "Is she the woman we saw?"

I quickly replied, "It should be. Actually, the fifth dimension I told you about... that was something I made up. The reason we were able to go to that place and see those things is because I learned physiognomy. Physiognomy... physiognomy only applies to people. If that woman wasn't involved in this matter, we wouldn't have been able to see her."

Pidan hummed in agreement and said weakly, "If you can, please help her. She's not human now, but I can sense that she committed suicide for the long-haired bald man... and even now, she still doesn't want to hurt him."

"She committed suicide because of me?"

My mind was completely focused on the preserved egg, but Yan Fengwei was calmer than me. He asked me, "Is what you said before true? But although I know there's a place called Fengcheng, I've never been there. I've really been bald since I was twenty and have never worn a wig."

As he asked his question, I suddenly noticed that there was a light shining in Pidan's eyes. Although it was still dim, it was much better than before.

My heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the evil spirit residing in this Wind Listening Bottle was a calamity for Yan Fengwei and his wife, but meant life for Pidan?

Thinking about this, I surprisingly calmed down, and recalling a detail, I raised my voice and said to the woman outside the door:
“I believe there is no hatred without a cause. You didn’t harm the previous homeowners, but you’re only targeting this couple. Is it because you really have a grudge against them?”

Yan Fengwei exclaimed urgently, "I have no grudge against her! We've never harmed anyone!"

"you shut up!"

“Go…” Pidan’s hand, which was pinching my face, slid down and gently pushed my chest. “Go help Baldy… and also help that poor woman.”

"Then wait for me."

I gritted my teeth, got up, and walked over to Yan Fengwei.

Even though the distance was reduced, it was still impossible to see Meng Zhen's face clearly.

“We burned paper money, lit candles, paved roads… You saw everything we did. You should know that we did all this just to help you.”

“I know, so I won’t hurt…you,” Meng Zhen replied.

She paused noticeably when she said that.

This suddenly gave me an indescribable sense of foreboding.

An inexplicable sense of oppression made me subconsciously speed up my speech: "I know you don't want to hurt Yan Fengwei, but if you don't want to harm anyone, why don't you go where you should be?"

Meng Zhen coldly replied, "Don't advise others to do good if you don't know the details. This matter has nothing to do with you. Since you know nothing about it, don't say anything more..."

"I know!"

I was eager to interrupt her. In a flash, I gritted my teeth and said, "I not only know what grudge you have with Yan Fengwei, but I also know some things you don't know!"

Meng Zhen sneered: "Mother Zhang is right. No man in the world can be trusted. People's mouths are just empty words. They will lie as soon as they want to achieve their goals."

As she spoke, she suddenly turned around and walked forward slowly, saying with deep resentment:

"Since men can't be relied on, I'll rely on myself. I will definitely get what I want, and I will make someone personally experience everything I've endured!"
