Chapter 1059 - Two Helpers [2 in 1] (2/2)

“What is it?”

“If there is an accident, I will give you the direction to run in. I will need you to take me and run in that direction without asking any question and without making any noise.”

“Okay.”

Perhaps Ying Chen was still dealing with the middle-aged man’s body—Chen Ge and Miss Dress did not run into him. The two successfully reached the third room from the left side stairs on the second floor. Knocking lightly on the door, Miss Dress called Ah Tong’s name softly, and then the door was soon opened.

“Weren’t you here not too long ago to take the medicine? Why are you here again?” The person who spoke sounded like a middle-aged man. His tone was even, as if he could not bring himself to be interested in anything.

“I have something that I need to ask you.” Miss Dress helped Chen Ge step into the room.

“Who is this? A blind person?”

“He just told me a story. I think it’s quite interesting. I thought you’d like to hear it as well.” Miss Dress had Chen Ge sit on the couch while Chen Ge was more concerned about whether they had closed the front door or not.

“Can I also hear the story?” Another voice came out from the room. The voice was about eighty percent similar to Ying Tong. Based purely on the voices, Ah Mu sounded like a kid about four years old, and the owner of this voice should be around seven or eight. The voice had lost its naivete, and it sounded softer in nature.

“Are you Ah Tong?” Chen Ge turned toward the source of the voice. Of course, all he could see was a screen of darkness, nothing else.

“Yes, do you know me?”

“Not only do I know you, I also know your mother and father,” Chen Ge said with a smile in his voice. “I need to discuss something with Miss Dress and Mr. Wood. Do you mind going back to your room for now?”

“Okay.” The boy was very obedient. Chen Ge paid close attention to the sound of the footsteps. After the boy walked away, Chen Ge whispered to Miss Dress, “Do you mind closing the door to his room? I do not think it is wise for him to hear what we are going to discuss.”

“I am sorry, but I cannot do that. The child suffers from claustrophobia. To help with his condition, I have removed all the doors in the house. The only door that remains is the front door.” Mr. Wood did not have a good attitude toward Chen Ge. He felt like he was a scam artist.

“That’s fine then. There is nothing we can do about it.”

Chen Ge repeated what he had told Miss Dress earlier to Mr. Wood.

After hearing everything Chen Ge had to say, Mr. Wood did not reply immediately. He was deep in thought for a long time. In the end, it was Ah Tong who ran out from his room. The boy had also heard what Chen Ge had to say. He pitied Ying Tong in the story, and he instinctually begged Mr. Wood to help Ying Tong.

“I still cannot trust you fully. What you hear can be false, and nothing is more trustworthy than what you see.” Even though Mr. Wood was a nice person, he could be ridiculously stubborn. Miss Dress’ earlier warning was not unfounded.

“What you can see with your eyes might be a front that someone purposely constructed to show you. His actual personality has already decayed and corrupted under his shining exterior.” To convince Mr. Wood, Chen Ge revealed another secret. “There is a middle-aged man living on the fourth floor. Ying Chen should have just killed him. The reason I can wander around the building so freely at the moment is because I know he is currently busy dealing with the dead body on the fourth floor.”

“I still think that is impossible unless you let me see the carcass with my eyes.”

“There is a headless body hidden under Ying Chen’s bed in his bedroom. If you do not believe me, you can go and see it for yourself, but I would advise you not to do so. Once you see the body, the next person that Ying Chen will target is you.”

Chen Ge must try his best to fight to gain Mr. Wood’s trust. If the man did not listen to him, there was a great chance that he would expose Chen Ge’s location to Ying Chen, and the situation would go seriously out of control. Chen Ge did not look like he was lying, and with Ah Tong putting in some good words for him, Mr. Wood eventually decided to compromise and temporarily placed his trust in Chen Ge, agreeing to help him find Ying Tong.

“No matter what, do not tell Ying Chen of my existence, and do not bring up the fact that we are trying to help Ying Tong. You guys have to try to act normal and give Ying Chen the illusion that the whole world is still isolating Ying Tong. Only then will we be able to survive.”

After leaving the facts, Chen Ge prepared to leave. He was in the hurry to find Miss Red.

“Ah Tong and Ah Mu are just like normal kids when they are not acting up. If anything, I feel like they are cuter and more obedient than normal children their age.” Chen Ge sighed under his breath, and then with Miss Dress holding him, he walked into the left staircase. “Which floor is Miss Red staying on?”

“Saturday.”

“The sixth floor?” Chen Ge frowned for the umpteenth time behind this door already. “Ying Chen might be still on the fourth floor dealing with the body. To get to the sixth floor, we will need to pass the fourth door. It will all be over if we are discovered by him. And sixth floor is very close to the seventh floor.”

His heart was beating wildly. Chen Ge felt like he was walking on a tightrope dangled between two cliffs. He moved up the steps, and Chen Ge and Miss Dress soon arrived on the third floor. When they were about to move toward the fourth floor, a wisp of a cat’s meow suddenly rang out.

“Stop moving!” Chen Ge grabbed at Miss Dress. “Ying Chen is on the fourth floor.”

“How do you know that?” Miss Dress whispered to ask, but Chen Ge did not answer. He held his breath and tried to focus on the direction of the cats. But strangely enough the calls of the cats did not grow louder or weaker. It felt like Ying Chen was standing at the same spot and had not moved.

“What is he up to?” Chen Ge leaned against the wall. “Is he hiding in a room, armed with the murder weapon, and waiting to jump those who walk past?”

Chen Ge signaled for Miss Dress to keep quiet. He climbed up to the fourth floor carefully. The cat’s calls still had not changed.

“Could the b*stard have perceived the fact that I have the ability to predict his location, and he is currently conducting some kind of experiment?”

The more he thought about it, the more unsettled he felt. Chen Ge pointed to the fourth floor. “Miss Dress, do you mind helping me see if Ying Chen is standing in the fourth-floor corridor?”

“No, the corridor is empty.”

“Okay, then we will hurry to the sixth floor.” Chen Ge pointed above them. He did not dare stay there for too long. For now, the plan was to reach Miss Red on the sixth floor and talk to her.
