Chapter 39 Make Peace

I opened my mouth but didn’t know what to say. A wave of warmth flowed through me despite knowing it may be a strategy Wen Jiubo was using to calm me down.

“And about before, I promise I will tell you who I am,” declared Wen Jiubo, “If I can fulfill this request safely and we can survive without getting hurt, I will tell you. Can you trust me again?”

I nodded while grumbling, “I didn’t quarrel with you, it’s you that went mental.”

Wen Jiubo had a big smile on his face. “Yes, it’s my fault. If I let you punch me will it make you feel better?”

Every time Wen Jiubo behaved like this, I felt frustrated. He always lost his temper and gave me the cold shoulder for no reason and apologized sincerely afterward. However, the moment I looked into his bright eyes, I forgot all my anger and curses only to end up forgiving him like a fool.

However, it was not the right time to be upset with him. Our priority should be to focus on finding out what happened on campus and finding those missing people.

“So, are you still angry with me?” Wen Jiubo talked to me like I was a child.

“Do you think everyone is as petty as you?” I replied, irritated.

“Good.” Wen Jiubo smiled a little before changing to a more severe facial expression. I was familiar with this look, it indicated that we were going to talk about something serious. “Let’s discuss the request. Can you tell me the whole story first? Although I’ve heard some from Liang Kaifeng’s father, I didn’t think he knew exactly what happened.”

I nodded. I still felt astonished when recalling my memories of the past few days.A peaceful campus turned into a center of mayhem.

“Em… Where should I begin?” I pondered. “It was mentioned that the haunting started at the girls’ dorm. Several girls heard the midnight knocking, but they saw different things after opening the door. Some saw a ghost face, others saw a female ghost, and still more saw nothing. All these girls passed out, and when they woke up, they found themselves lying on their bed without wounds. But none of their roommates heard any noises.”

“Hold on. They saw different things?” Wen Jiubo interrupted.

I nodded. “Yes, they did, according to the rumor.”

Wen Jiubo nodded. “Em, go on.”

“Then everyone who said they heard the knocking went missing, including Su Xiaoyun,” I continued, ” We don’t know where these missing people are. And then as you already know, Liang Kaifeng was found hanging from the ceiling. He was one of the people who claimed to see the ghost. That’s why we’re all worried about Su Xiaoyun…”

I took a deep breath before telling him the rest of the details of our investigation, including the story about the girl who committed suicide, which Zhou Lang heard from a junior female student.

“Oh? So two years ago there was a girl who still had breath after she died just like Liang Kaifeng?” Wen Jiubo seemed very interested.

I nodded. “What’s more, we were told that before this girl committed suicide, many people around her seemed to be cursed and suffered misfortunes one by one; a car accident, robbery, etc.”

“I see,” muttered Wen Jiubo.
