Reborn back to the time before I sold my blood to support my scumbag boyfriend's college educat

In the middle of the night, the phone rang at Pei Shizhou's house, waking not only Pei Shizhou but also Xia Yichu, who groggily opened her eyes.

"Shizhou, what time is it?"

Xia Yichu felt like she hadn't slept for more than a few hours. Pei Shizhou turned on the light and picked up the watch from the bedside table to check.

"Around 2 PM"

"Who's calling in the middle of the night? Go outside and answer the phone."

Xia Yichu said worriedly, "Something must have happened, otherwise, no one would call in the middle of the night."

"Okay, don't get up, I'll go."

After Pei Shizhou left, Xia Yichu ignored his words, quickly got up, washed her face, and then went out. She happened to run into Pei Shizhou returning from a phone call; his expression remained unchanged.

"Shizhou"

Xia Yichu called his name softly, and although Pei Shizhou didn't show any expression, she could still sense from him that he wasn't in a good mood.

Pei Feng is dead.

Pei Shizhou said something that shocked Xia Yichu: they had seen Pei Feng around four or five o'clock, how could he have died in just a few hours?

It took Xia Yichu a while to react, and she quickly asked, "When did this happen? How could he be dead?"

"It must have been about two hours ago, but the exact details are still unclear. Xiao Chu, I need to go to the Pei family."

Xia Zhiheng just called, asking Pei Shizhou to come over immediately; they are still investigating the scene at the Pei family's residence.

"Wait for me, I'll go with you."

After saying that, Xia Yichu went to her room to change out of her pajamas. Pei Shizhou didn't stop her and went to change his clothes as well.

It took the two of them forty minutes to arrive at the Pei family home. The Pei family home was brightly lit, and several police cars were parked at the entrance.

When they arrived, two policemen were carrying out a stretcher covered with a white sheet. It must have been Pei Feng. The two men stopped in front of Pei Feng.

At this moment, Xia Zhiheng came out and said, "Shizhou, please accept my condolences. When we arrived, Pei Feng had already stopped breathing. The doctor said he died from blood loss."

That evening, he received a call and came to the scene. After the doctor confirmed that Pei Feng was dead, Xia Zhiheng immediately called Pei Shizhou.

Who did it?

Pei Shizhou had his suspicions, but he couldn't help asking anyway. He didn't believe Feng Yarou wasn't behind this. That woman was cunning and ruthless.

He'd do anything for money, but Pei Shizhou showed no sympathy for Pei Feng; this was his retribution.

Pei Feng's neighbor said he was woken up in the middle of the night by the sounds of beatings and cursing from the Pei family. He had just come out of his house when he heard the screams. Then he saw several people running out of Pei Feng's house in a hurry.

Before he could go over to see what had happened, he saw Chen Xinjun covered in blood running at the back. Terrified, he quickly went home, locked the door, and then called the police.

Our men went to the Chen family to arrest people after Pei Feng's neighbor reported it to the police. We just received news that the Chen brothers haven't returned home; they've probably fled.

Pei Shizhou nodded without saying anything more, then lifted the white sheet covering Pei Feng. His eyes were wide open, and his face was completely bloodless. He was covered in blood, a truly gruesome sight.

"Preliminary assessment indicates he died from being stabbed more than twenty times. Pei Feng, he..."

Before Xia Zhiheng could finish speaking, Xia Yichu covered her mouth from the side.

"vomit…"

Seeing Pei Feng's miserable state, Xia Yichu covered her mouth and couldn't help but gag. She quickly ran to the side, but after gagging for a long time, nothing came out.

"Xiao Chu, are you alright?"

Pei Shizhou went over and gently patted her back, feeling guilty at the same time, wishing he hadn't lifted Pei Feng's white cloth.

At this moment, Xia Zhiheng walked over with a bottle of water, opened it, and handed it to Xia Yichu. Even though he had served in the army before, he still felt uncomfortable when he first encountered such a crime scene.

"Here, Xiao Chu, drink some water and calm down."

Xia Yichu took the water and drank it. She had always been brave since childhood, especially after dying once herself. She wasn't afraid of what she saw, except for the momentary nausea she felt from the smell of blood.

"How are you? Are you feeling any better?"

Pei Shizhou asked worriedly. Xia Zhiheng glanced at him but didn't say anything. Now he knows how to worry? Why didn't he consider Xiao Chu's feelings when he lifted the white cloth?

"I'm fine, much better."

As long as she stays far away and doesn't smell the strong stench of blood, Xia Yichu will be fine.

"Xiao Chu, I'll take you home. Shi Zhou is going to the police station to give a statement."

"Brother Zhiheng, no need. I'll take Xiaochu back and then go to the police station. It won't take long."

Pei Shizhou wouldn't feel comfortable sending Xia Yichu back now, and he certainly wouldn't neglect Xia Yichu for the sake of that nominal father.

"Okay, then take good care of Xiao Chu, I'm going to get busy."

After Xia Zhiheng finished speaking, he drove away. He was very busy because of the murder.

"Xiao Chu, come on, I'll take you home."

"it is good"

The two got into the car, and Xia Yichu asked, "Do you need me to drive? I only felt nauseous because of the smell of blood, but I'm fine."

Xia Yichu was unaware of Pei Shizhou's feelings for Pei Feng, but even strangers would feel some remorse upon seeing Pei Feng's death.

"No need. Pei Feng is a familiar stranger to me. Sit down and let me know if you feel uncomfortable."

"Um"

Xia Yichu didn't try to persuade him further, and the two remained silent the entire way home. This time, Pei Shizhou drove rather slowly, taking an hour to get home.

However, he didn't stop when he passed his own house, but stopped when he reached Xia Yichu's courtyard house.

Lin's parents and Lin Xingcheng live here. Pei Shizhou was worried about leaving Xia Yichu alone at home, so he had no choice but to send her here.

"Shizhou, it's the middle of the night, don't bother my aunt and uncle. Let's go back! I'm not scared, you don't need to worry about me."

"Xiao Chu, be good and get out of the car. I'm worried about you being home alone by yourself."

Just as Pei Shizhou got out of the car and walked over to help Xia Yichu out, the front door of the house opened; it was Lin Xingcheng who opened it.

Hearing the sound of a car coming from outside his house, Lin Xingcheng woke up and went out to check.

Seeing that it was Xia Yichu and Pei Shizhou, I wonder what they were doing at their doorstep.

"Xiao Cheng, you've come at the right time. Xiao Chu was a little frightened. Please take good care of her for me. I have to go out for a bit."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xingcheng tensed up and immediately went over to examine Xia Yichu. Although there was a moon tonight, it wasn't very bright, and he couldn't clearly see the expression on Xia Yichu's face.

But seeing that she didn't seem to want anything to happen, and since Pei Shizhou was going out anyway, it was probably nothing serious.

"I'm fine, Xiao Cheng, don't listen to Shi Zhou's nonsense. Shi Zhou, hurry up and go to the police station, don't worry about me."

Pei Shizhou nodded, and after getting into the car, he rolled down the window and said to Xia Yichu, "Take care of yourself, call me if anything happens."

"Okay, go ahead!"

After Pei Shizhou left, Xia Yichu and Lin Xingcheng walked home together. The two of them walked carefully towards Lin Xingcheng's room, as if on cue.

"Speak! What happened?"

Xia Yichu had nothing to hide and told Pei Feng everything in detail.

"What did your brother-in-law mean when he said you were frightened?"

"It wasn't that I was frightened, it's just that the smell of blood made me uncomfortable. You know I've always been very brave since I was little. When Grandma Wang next door passed away, I couldn't sleep because I was curious, so I sneaked over and touched Grandma Wang's face."

Another time, when we went up the mountain together, we broke someone's urn containing ashes. I…”

"Stop, don't say anymore, I believe you."

Lin Xingcheng quickly interrupted Xia Yichu. Although these things happened when he was seven or eight years old, Lin Xingcheng still felt a little scared when he thought about them now.

Xia Yichu touched the face of a dead person, and when she got home, she told Lin Xingcheng about the feeling of touching Grandma Wang. That was the first time Lin Xingcheng had avoided Xia Yichu for several days in a row, and wouldn't let Xia Yichu touch him.

There was also the matter of the urn. She accidentally broke someone's urn, and around seven or eight o'clock in the evening, she went up the mountain to offer incense and beg for forgiveness.
