1182 I Want to Make You Stay 60 (1/2)
Xiao Chenyang's eyes lit up and he said, ”I've never thought much about you in our previous lifetime. However, I'm starting to think that you've got some brains now.”
”I'm a little glad to hear that from you, just a little bit. And that's because you were indirectly saying that I didn't have any brains in my previous lifetime.”
”If you did, would you have jumped to your death? Shouldn't you have killed Xihou Jiaping first?”
She was at a loss for words. Had that event happened in this lifetime, she would have definitely killed Xihou Jiaping and would never have killed herself. She had no idea what she was thinking back then.
”Yes, I was really foolish in my previous lifetime. I'm going to visit the archeological team now. Rest well.”
”Wait a minute…”
An Xiaoning stopped in her tracks and asked, ”What's wrong?”
”I'd like to ask something of you.”
Staring at him calmly, she said, ”Go ahead. I'll help as long as it's within my means to.”
”I suddenly remembered that you're capable of fortune-telling. Can you read Erlan's birth characters, then?”
Staring at him, An Xiaoning said, ”I'd like to know what you're planning to do after you find out the outcome. Can you tell me?”
”If she's destined to marry Yan Ge or another man, I'll stop disrupting her life from now on. If she's destined to be with me for the rest of her life, I'll know what to do. I'll wait for her to come to me.”
An Xiaoning nodded and said, ”Alright, I'll answer you when I get back later.”
Xiao Chenyang said, ”Thank you.”
”You're welcome.”
She exited and rushed to the archeological research center in A City.
She would not have made her way there so early in the morning if it weren't because of an urgent matter.
She pulled up at the entrance in her red Ferrari. Before she even alighted, she heard Wang Jinsheng greeting her eagerly, ”Ms. An, you're finally here. We've been waiting for you.”
An Xiaoning alighted with her white purse and closed the door before locking her car. She then asked, ”You made me come all the way here without telling me the reason. Just what's going on?”
”If it weren't for something urgent, we wouldn't have dared to call you here bright and early in the morning. Come in, let's talk while we walk.”
An Xiaoning walked beside him toward the main entrance.
Wang Jinsheng said softly, ”It's a long story, and this matter arose because of a coffin we had found near the deep lake. The corpse inside the coffin is well preserved and completely intact. Given the humidity of the surrounding environment, it's basically impossible for the corpse to be so well preserved. Under humid conditions, corpses tend to decompose easily. What puzzled us the most was that there was a layer of glutinous rice coated around the corpse, and there were three amulets pasted on the corpse's forehead. The cement that was used to seal the coffin was also mixed with glutinous rice. We found it extremely abnormal and decided to call the police because we didn't dare to touch the items inside the coffin. The police then contacted the national relic authority, who sent their team to take a look at the corpse. Everyone was terrified and anxious. The residents nearby have also started spreading rumors, and they all think that it's a vampire. They've begun gossiping endlessly. The higher authority then told us to cremate it secretly. However, as soon as the orders were sent, we discovered that the national relic team members had all gone missing,” said Wang Jinsheng, who was clearly frightened.
”They've all gone missing?” An Xiaoning stopped in her tracks and looked at him calmly before asking, ”Do you guys think that it was the corpse's doing?”
