Chapter 126: Linking everything together (2/2)

“Yes!” I nodded vigorously. I could only trust Xialing now.

“One! Two! Three! Run!” Xialing counted. Then, we both ran for our lives.

A man’s body was definitely designed very differently from a female’s body. I was able to take larger steps and naturally, I was much faster than I used to be. Whereas, Xialing was huffing and puffing behind me.

“Y-...you’re running too fast!” She panted as she tried her best to catch up to me.

In no time, we ran out of the secret path. The moment we exited, the bright sunlight shone through the tree branches and into our eyes. My eyes were not used to the intense lighting. Everything seemed very hazy.

“Why are you still standing around? Hurry and get on!” Xialing rushed me to get into the car. I snapped out of my zone and sat in the passenger seat. She smoothly started to vehicle and we escaped.

Wasn’t this escape a bit too simple? There wasn’t anyone after us?… It was suspicious.

“Hahaha! We escaped! I’m so smart!”

Now, I could finally see Xialing’s face. She seemed very quick-witted and cute. She was chewing gum as she hummed a song while driving.

She was relaxed, but I wasn’t. “Let me process this. So you’re Xiazhi’s little sister. And Xiazhi is the ghost bodyguard outside my apartment, right?”

“Yup!”

“Then how come I have never seen you before?”

“You must ask my big bro about that...He was worried if you found out he has a sister who could see ghosts, you would tell me to take him away. So, he wouldn’t allow me to appear in front of you.”

“He said? You two are able to communicate?”

“Miss, not all supernatural people are like you. You don’t even know how to make basic communication. That’s so garbage… aiii.. Seriously, you’re wasting God’s gift!” Xialing sighed. “Anyhow, I promised him I would save you. He promised he will go and reincarnate as well. If he tries to change his mind, make sure you try to convince him, ok?”

“Xiazhi can reincarnate?”

“Of course! But he doesn’t want to leave you.” Xialing’s expression became more sullen, “I do want him to remain by my side, but I don’t want him to remain as a ghost forever…”

“What’s your relationship with Anson?”

“I was once his subordinate. But not anymore.” Xialing casually stated her betrayal.

“Why did you betray Anson?”

“Hey!! You can’t say it like that! I’m doing it for my brother!” Xialing emphasized.

“What is Anson’s motive?”

Xialing began to giggle. But I was clueless.

“Haha! You… haha… oh my god! I can’t handle this. Are you really stupid or acting stupid? At this point, you still can’t tell Anson’s motive?” Xialing shook her head, “I’m done.”

“Think about it. Why would Anson try his best to capture you and switch souls with you? Please, use your brain.” Xialing pointed at my head, “Think!”

“The thing I don’t understand is, he seems to recognize and knows Suyang. But Suyang has never talked about him before… The first time I met Anson was in Japan…”

*giggle* Xialing broke out in laughter again. I turned to look at her.

She explained, “Sorry. It’s just that you have Anson’s face right now but you’re analyzing Anson. You must understand why this is hilarious to me…”

Oh yeah. My biggest issue and problem is, how can I get my body back?

“Keep investigating. You’re almost there. I won’t laugh again! I swear!”

“Japan?” I recalled Grandmother Meng saying how Suyang’s parents died in Japan.At the time, it was the fault of Suyang’s playmate….could it be?

“So Anson’s target was Suyang all along? He is Suyang’s childhood friend?”

“You’ve finally figured it out!” Xialing smiled, “You weren’t as stupid as I thought!”

“So why is he trying to get him back in every possible means? He wants to fix the friendship as Lin Yixin?”

“Pshh! What friendship!? At this point, it’s definitely love!”

“Love?!”

“I guess Miss Yixin is still confused. Allow me to simplify it for you. Back then, Anson caused the death of Suyang’s parents. Afterwards, Suyang returned to China and cut off all ties with him. But there’s another secret that no one knows. Since childhood, Anson has loved Suyang. Think about it, now that he was the main culprit of Suyang’s parents’ death, how else could he return to Suyang’s side? Of course, he must use you! Get it?”

“How come you know so much?” As Suyang’s girlfriend, I didn’t even know this…

“I’ve already been working with Anson for 4 years! If I don’t even know this, my life must be a lie….” Xialing rolled her eyes at me.

4 years?! Yet, she betrayed Anson the moment her brother asked her to. I should be thankful to Xialing; even if she wasn’t doing it for me.

“So according to you, Anson has always loved Suyang. So, he plans to use my identity to be with him?...but he’s a man?!”

“Who says a man cannot love another man?”

True...

“Anyway, he’s not a man anymore! If you don’t stop him soon, who knows what he will do with your body.” Xialing smiled cunningly, “You know, Anson is ruthless. He’s a psycho that’s willing to do anything to get to his goal. Although I was his subordinate, I must admit that he is insane.”

Of course I knew. From the day he kidnapped me, I already knew when I saw his eyes flashed.
