Chapter 70: Director Rui (2/2)

“That’s because you’re wearing a wool coat! It’s summer! What kind of person wears a wool coat indoors?!” I was so flabbergasted by Grandmother Meng’s silly brain that I wanted to crash my head against the wall. If it weren’t for the fact I needed her help, I would say a lot more. But I suppressed it all as I gently touched my head to silently cheer myself on, “Good! Good job! You’re doing well!”

“Today, I came because I have something I need you to help me with.”

“I know, you only come when you need help.”

Now that she said this, I felt sort of guilty.

“Umm, are you annoyed at me?”

Grandmother Meng shook her head, “It’s not like I have anything to do at home. Plus, I’ve had contacts with spirits all my life. Anyway, what fun stuff do you have for me today?”

Fun…? Ok there….

“Do you remember body possessing thing you’ve done for me before? I want to do it again!”

“Last time, a spirit almost screwed you over, and you still want to try again?”

Grandmother Meng was referring to the Xu Weishan incident. Xu Weishan had wanted to replace me. At the time, I was really scared. But I can’t let one bad experience rule my life.

“That was an accident. This time, I must figure out what had happened through his memories. So, this is the only option. Plus, I have you here with me, right?” I made a heart shape with my hands. “I trust you.”

“After your previous experience, you do know that even if you do this, you may not know the whole truth. You’re only able to read his thoughts after sharing the body.”

“I know. You’ve already mentioned this. But I have no other choice, so I can only request for your service! Please help me once more!”

“I can help you, but tell me what it’s for?”

There should be no harm in telling Grandmother Meng right?

“Are you aware of the Lu Wenxue incident that had shocked the nation?”

“Lu Wenxue? How come you have ties with him?”

“Uh…..*explains*... so naturally…” I stammered.

“Are you aware of how dangerous this situation is? No! I will not let you take part! I do not approve!” Grandmother Meng refused as she turned her seat around and faced her back at me.

I could tell Grandmother Meng had analyzed the situation. She was really different from the mass. Although she didn’t know the truth, she didn’t blindly choose to believe the public opinion.

Since Grandmother Meng was unwilling to help, I had to use my ultimate weapon.

“Suyang has already taken part in this case. In order to help him, I must figure out everything before he does. You also know there’s a conspiracy going on. But we don’t know what the conspiracy is.”

“Xiao Su? How did he get involved in this case?”

“I must help him! He is in too much danger on his own. The longer he is involved in this case, the more danger he will be in. So, the only way to come to a quicker conclusion is with your help.”

“You….” Grandmother Meng sighed and didn’t say anything else. It appeared she had silently agreed to my request.

As expected, the moment I mention Suyang, she had nothing else to say.

“Thank you!” I looked at my watch, “It’s only noon? I made an appointment with him to meet here at 7pm. Since I have 7 hours, I will stay here to complete the mission your precious grandson gave me!”

“Xiao Su? What type of mission did he give you?”

“Don’t mention it. The moment I think of it, I feel so irritated. Suyang actually demanded me to go to the aquarium to take pictures of every single species and write a description for each. I have to create a power-point presentation for him too. He purposely wants to make my life difficult.”

Grandmother Meng burst into laughter, “As expected of my grandson, he really has fresh ideas to mess with someone. I think he is personally making your life difficult because he doesn’t want you to participate in dangerous events with him.”

“Yeah….” I can’t believe she could say this in such a carefree manner. I hopelessly shook my head. The Su descendants were truly something else.

So, I focus on creating my power-point and in no time, it was already 6:30pm.

Surprisingly, I got the hang of this useless assignment and more or less completed it. Then, I waited for Lu Wenxue.
