夜色老司机极品盛宴

Chapter 97 - Visitor

Yi Bing and Huo Ling passed by the prison cells and saw Rong Zhe and Ye Ting inside. Rong Zhe is still unconscious while Ye Ting was huddled in the corner and is trembling in fright.

"Ah Zhe… Ah Ting." Huo Ling called. "I didn\'t expect for you to be…" he said and lowered his head as his shoulder shook.

Yi Bing glanced at Huo Ling before he went to the side to give him some space and to open Di San\'s message. He sighed in relief when he read the message that the Soul Eaters were taken care of. He looked at Huo Ling and saw he\'s still standing in front of his friends\' cell in silence. He decided to remain on the side. "Oops – " he muttered when he almost bumped into an old man carrying his luggage. The old man came from the interrogation room.

Considering Huo Ling\'s current state, they\'ll go to the interrogation room later..

Inside the interrogation room.

"What the fck are you talking about?!" Lu Ming asked and his voice was raised. "Huo Ling is already dead! How can he set us up?!" he asked. "And no one would put their life at stake just to set up his friends!" he added.

"You have a point." Gu Xingfeng nodded. "However, you\'re really not his friends, right?" He asked.

"You - !" Xu Ke said as he glared at Gu Xingfeng. His sore point was hit, since he\'s the one who had been with Huo Ling the most, and was lying to Huo Ling the most. He clenched his fists.

"Then, tell me – " Gu Xingfeng said. "Huo Ling is so different from you five. One is a womanizer." He said. He\'s referring to Ye Ting. "One is a hopeless romantic." He was referring to Rong Zhe. "One is a coward." He looked at Lu Ming. "One is a hypocrite" he looked at Xu Ke. "And one is – " he said and looked at his phone\'s screen when the internet is exploding again. " – a big, fat liar." He said and smiled at Su Lin whose eyes widened and he looked at him in surprise. "Am I wrong?" he asked and raised his phone, showing them his phone\'s screen.

Their eyes widened and their jaw dropped when they saw Su Lin\'s scandalous photos with a middle-aged woman. "Ah Lin…" Lu Ming and Xu Ke muttered under their breath and they turned to Su Lin whose pale face became paler and he immediately turned his back on them to retch on the side.

"BLEAURGH!" Su Lin cried as he retched. His back is soaked in sweat.

Hao Baiyun looked at them in disbelief. He turned to whisper to Gu Xingfeng. "What the hell is all this?!" he hissed. "Did you…" he said as he stared at Gu Xingfeng.

"It\'s not me." Gu Xingfeng said. "When one would look into this case, they would say everything is a coincidence." He said. He\'s referring to each dirty secret of Huo Ling\'s friends being exposed. "However, not me." he smiled. "But if these are really just all coincidences, then it\'s really, really scary." He looked at his phone\'s screen as Su Lin\'s pictures with the middle-aged woman continued to increase. "It\'s as if the ghosts are at work." He laughed.

Hao Baiyun looked at Gu Xingfeng with a gaze as if he had gone silly. "What \'ghosts\'?" he asked and frowned. "You\'re really saying Huo Ling might be the one who\'s behind this?" he asked.

"Maybe. Maybe not." Gu Xingfeng sighed and turned to Hao Baiyun. "As Xu Ke said, Huo Ling didn\'t know his friends hated him, so how can he set them up?" he asked. "Also, where and when will he have time to do this? It\'s not like he can predict he will die, right?" he added.

"That\'s true." Hao Baiyun muttered. "Then, who could it be to do all these?" he asked. "Are these all just coincidences? And – " he said. " – who killed Huo Ling, which incited for these things to happen?" he asked.

Stable World, S City.

Hao Baiyun looked at Fei Xuli and the others\' report lying on his desk. The bizarre shapes of the monuments, the strange occurrences happening in different places… he pinched the space between his brows before he read Fei Xuli\'s summarized report. "Could there really be…" he muttered as he touched his chest and felt his beating heart. Even though there\'s nothing that happened to him today, but he felt very, very happy. Is it them? He thought. He\'s referring to the other Hao Baiyun whose emotions he felt lately. He wanted to communicate with him. Ask him what happened to the other Gu Xingfeng and also tell him about his dream. He knew, it\'s the other Gu Xingfeng who will die.

Suddenly, he reached for his phone. Before he knew it, he had called Gu Xingfeng. "Yes?" Gu Xingfeng immediately answered.

Hao Baiyun sharply inhaled when he heard his voice against his ear. "… nothing." He answered. "I accidentally pressed your number…" he said in a small voice.

Gu Xingfeng seemed to perceive his worry. "You\'re still thinking about them?" he asked him.

Hao Baiyun fell silent. "Yes." He answered after a while. "Afterall, the other you will…" die. He thought.

It\'s Gu Xingfeng\'s turn to become silent. "Ah Bai." He called before he took a deep breath. "Just call me whenever you want. I will always answer your call." He told him.

Hao Baiyun\'s eyes watered and he felt his nose soured. A warm smile appeared on his face as he lowered his head. "Thank you." He told him before he ended the call. He watched his tears fell on the documents. He can\'t help but worry and fear for the other him in the other world, since he knows that the Gu Xingfeng of the other him will die.

He took a deep breath to calm himself. He can\'t worry Gu Xingfeng. He has to solve this himself. Hao Baiyun… he thought, referring to his other self. You also have to do your best!

Normal World, S City Police Station, interrogation room.

Hao Baiyun sharply gasped when he felt his heart suddenly jerked inside his chest. He felt the urge to nod and say \'yes\'. What\'s going on with me? He thought and felt puzzled.

"What\'s wrong?" Gu Xingfeng whispered when he saw Hao Baiyun\'s brows are knit. "Do you feel uncomfortable?" he asked and remembered they did it this morning.

Hearing the question, how can Hao Baiyun not understand what Gu Xingfeng meant? His eyes widened in shock and he turned to glare at Gu Xingfeng. However, he felt his heart melted when he saw his worried expression. "I\'m fine." He told him. "I\'m just thinking who could be helping Huo Ling avenge his death." He explained.

"I already sent people to investigate the university." Gu Xingfeng said. "Huo Ling\'s close friends are these five. Other than that, they\'re his acquaintance he has a good relationship with. Also, the poison was found in a plastic bottle." He said as he took out the report from the forensic team.

"Anyone can give him a plastic bottle." Hao Baiyun said.

Gu Xingfeng nodded. "Thus, it might not be only Xu Ke." He said and looked at Xu Ke, Su Lin and Lu Ming who were standing on the side in silence.

Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door. "Chief." Jiang Xinduo called from outside. "Su Lin\'s mother is here." He said.

Su Lin\'s eyes widened. "Mom?!" he exclaimed.

"Let her in." Gu Xingfeng said.

The door opened and a woman came in. Her face is pale and she\'s slightly panting. "Mom!" Su Lin called and ran towards her.

"Lin-er…" Su Lin\'s mom called as she checked his body for wounds. She sighed in relief when she didn\'t see any. "Thank god you\'re safe." She said and smiled. "I\'m sorry I just arrived. Your father is working and your sister\'s at school, so I came." She explained and turned to Gu Xingfeng. "I apologize for arriving late. I am sick, so I can only come today." She told him.

Gu Xingfeng nodded. "Please have a seat." He told her.

"Uhm…" she said and looked like she was hesitating. "Can I speak with my son first?" she asked. Her gaze is pleasing. It must be something important.

"Xiao Ke." Gu Xingfeng called Ke Congyi.

"Yes!" Ke Congyi answered and turned to the mother and son. "Please follow me." he said as he led them to the adjacent room. Su Lin and his mother followed.

Xu Ke and Lu Ming watched the three people leave. They can\'t help but envy Su Lin since he has a parent to come to visit him. Lu Ming has his parents abroad and only Hao Baiyun visits him as his guardian. Meanwhile, Xu Ke has no one with him since he has no family.

Ke Congyi returned after he sent Su Lin and Su Lin\'s mom to the adjacent room. However, not long after and they heard Su Lin screamed while his mother cried. They can\'t clearly hear their conversation, but they know it isn\'t something good.
