Excessive ferocity due to caution

Zhao Yi shook his head and clicked his tongue:

"Whether you deserved it or not is not for me to decide... But someone like you who was soft-hearted and cared about your family in life, even if you made a heartless decision to run away with your boyfriend, you will never live happily. Your terrible family will always be an insurmountable obstacle in your heart."

"It was fate's cruel joke that you were born into such a mean and acrimonious family, yet you blame it all on your own choices. That's incredibly arrogant."

"You...what right do you have to decide all of this?"

Upon hearing this, the female ghost fell into deep thought.

At one time, many of her friends tried to persuade her, but their advice was too cliché, nothing more than tired old platitudes.

She knows all these worldly truths by heart, yet she still can't live her life well.

Zhao Yi's mockery just now had a profound awakening for the female ghost.

yes……

What kind of personality does she have...?

What kind of family were you born into...?

How could she possibly decide that herself?

Ultimately, she was just an ordinary person. Faced with the choices of fate, how much trouble could her resistance stir up?

Even if she really runs away with her boyfriend, given her personality, would she really be able to stand idly by after knowing that her family would be ruined because of her choice?

In a short period of time, the female ghost thought of many things.

It was as if she had experienced her past decades all over again.

But this time, she seemed unusually relaxed.

Zhao Yi helped her reconcile with him.

Most of the resentment on his body dissipated.

"And you?"

Why are you here?

The female ghost began to feel curious about the mysterious man beside her.

The latter, without changing his expression, heated his palm with a candle and calmly said:

"I shouldn't be here."

"That's why I want to leave now."

"Can you help me?"

The female ghost shook her head:

"You can't get out."

"No one can leave the 2188 Building alive."

Zhao Yi asked:

Why?

Female ghost:

"When the company contract is signed, the soul imprint of every employee is imprinted into that contract."

"If you don't get the contract, you'll just walk out of the company... and you'll die."

Zhao Yi remembered the brave man he had seen last night.

In order to break out of the company, he almost abandoned everything... including his mind.

"On the other hand, if I got that contract, would I be able to just walk away without a care in the world?"

The female ghost laughed, a pure and unadulterated mockery:

"If it were that easy, there wouldn't be so many wandering ghosts in this junkyard."

Zhao Yi:

"Like that guy with the broken sword?"

The smile on the female ghost's face vanished, replaced by fear and respect.

"No, Qu Yousi is a special case."

"He went to the thirteenth floor."

Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow, and the starlight cast a faint slanting glow on his brow.

What's on the 13th floor of the 2188 Building?

The female ghost shook her head:

Nobody knows.

Zhao Yi shrugged:

"Okay, let's change the question. How do I get the files?"

The female ghost replied:

"The files are in the archives... There are many security personnel guarding that place, and you can't go in without authorization."

"And the authority was in the hands of the archivist, Meng Cunhua."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi immediately replied:

"Meng Cunhua?"

"Isn't he the manager of the 2188 Building?"

A look of surprise appeared on the female ghost's face:

"The steward?"

"That scumbag actually became the general manager?"

Zhao Yi was also quite surprised:

"How so?"

The female ghost pointed at the withered woman's body on the ground, and the ghost baby's mother said angrily:

"Jiang Youyou got pregnant because of Meng Cunhua!"

"When Meng Cunhua saw that Jiang Youyou was beautiful, he harbored evil intentions and took the initiative to seduce her. Jiang Youyou was still young and came from a small town, so she didn't have much of a sense of caution. In addition, she saw that Meng Cunhua was young and promising, and she quickly fell in love with him..."

"Who would have thought that after Meng Cunhua learned that Jiang Youyou was pregnant, his entire personality changed. All his previous vows of eternal love turned out to be worthless, and he kept trying to get Jiang Youyou to have an abortion..."

"When Jiang Youyou refused, Meng Cunhua placed her under house arrest and used various means to force her to submit..."

As the female ghost finished speaking, the ghost baby, who clearly knew about this, began to bar its teeth and scramble wildly across the ground!

A pair of cold, resentful eyes gazed at the brightly lit building.

With murderous intent.

With resentment.

P.S.: I'm sleepy, going to bed now. This chapter is really short, I know.

Go ahead and curse!

Anyway, I'm thick-skinned, hmph!

Good night!!
