Chapter 75: Bloody Letter (1)
Wang Chuan wondered in his mind. A gift? Who sent it? Ye Sui? Apart from Ye Sui, Wang Chuan never thought there would be a second person to make their president so happy.
Besides, he had just mentioned a few words and felt the President glow like spring.
Wang Chuan continued, “This person must be very visionary, choosing it so carefully.” In this situation, even if Ye Sui sent a grass, the President would still treat it as a precious treasure.
Chen Shu glanced at Wang Chuan approvingly and said, “Is that so?”
Wang Chuan immediately gave an affirmative answer, “Absolutely. That person must have thought about President Chen’s preference; otherwise, how could it be so appropriate?”
Chen Shu listened to Wang Chuan, nodded in satisfaction, and especially praised him, “You have done a good job recently.”
The flattered Wang Chuan walked out of the office with sloppy footsteps, thinking that Chen Shu was not as cold president as he seemed.
Because he received so many compliments from Chen Shu in one day, Wang Chuan worked hard even at work. He also frightened Cheng Sheng, who thought he was possessed by a ghost.
Ye Sui didn’t know that she could keep Chen Shu’s good mood for such a long time just by giving him a small gift.
When Ye Sui returned from work at night, Chen Shu was already home.
Ye Sui immediately looked at the time on the phone; it was clearly not eight o’clock. Why did Chen Shu come home now?
“You came back very early today.” Ye Sui went to the kitchen to pick up a glass of water and took a sip.
Chen Shu looked down at his new tie as if implying something, then answered Ye Sui’s question, “There was nothing to do today, so I came back early.”
Yet, Chen Shu glanced at his study subconsciously. His desk was still piled with documents brought back from the company. Since he was distracted during the day, there was still much work to be done.
“Oh, so that’s why.” Ye Sui nodded suddenly.
Fortunately, Ye Sui did not have the habit of going to his study. However, a shadow of guilt flashed in Chen Shu’s eyes.
Ye Sui’s eyes fell on Chen Shu’s tie. She thought that he had just returned home, so he still wore the clothes when he went out without changing.
In fact, Chen Shu had come back much earlier. He didn’t change his suit on purpose, wanting to let Ye Sui take a look again. Since Ye Sui went out early in the morning and the two of them did not meet, he failed to show her the tie he was going to wear for work.
Ye Sui was more satisfied with the tie the more she looked at it. She really chose right, but it was even better when Chen Shu wore it.
Ye Sui pointed at the tie and said, “This tie really suits you.”
Chen Shu was just waiting for Ye Sui to say that again. His lips hooked up, and he smiled. “You have a good eye.”
If Ye Sui knew that just some of her words would make Chen Shu so happy, she would promise to say hundreds of praises without repetition.
Ye Sui would even boast three times a day.
Knock, knock!
Suddenly, a sudden knock on the door sounded, and Ye Sui froze for a moment, but nothing happened.
Knock, knock!
After hesitating for a few seconds, the knock on the door rang again, with some haste this time.
Ye Sui put down the cup, got up from the sofa, walked to the door, and said to Chen Shu, “I’ll open the door.”
Chen Shu quickly took over her and walked straight to the door. “You wait here. I’ll go.”
Chen Shu didn’t open the door immediately. He first glanced outside through the peephole and then opened the door. Ye Sui also took a step to take a look.
There was no one outside the door, and there was only one corridor extending to the end. There was no one. It seemed that the knocking on the door before was just their imagination.
Chapter 75: Bloody Letter (2)
There was no one. It seemed that the knocking on the door before was just their imagination.
The lights were on in the corridor, and it was brightly lit. Even the air seemed to be still.
Ye Sui lowered her head inadvertently and found a letter lying in front of the door. Its envelope looked somewhat yellowish.
When Chen Shu bent over to pick it up, he was immediately stopped by Ye Sui. “Wait! I’ll bring gloves.”
The scene just now was too strange. What if there was something dirty on the envelope? What would she do? She didn’t want Chen Shu to take risks.
Ye Sui put on rubber gloves and awkwardly opened the envelope. As soon as she did so, she exclaimed and threw away the letter in her hand.
Only one sentence was written on the white paper: “Help me.”
These characters were not written in ordinary ink but in dark red color. The words were reflecting on the paper, so strong that they could not be dissolved, as if they were written in blood.
Chen Shu frowned and picked up the paper on the floor. Ye Sui immediately grabbed him and stepped back subconsciously.
“Don’t pick it up; I’ll throw it away.” Ye Sui’s tone was a little flustered.
Ye Sui was afraid that Chen Shu would do something stupid. She endured her fear and quickly threw the letter and envelope into the trash, tying the garbage bag tightly.
Looking at Ye Sui worriedly, Chen Shu suggested, “I’ll go to the security room to check things out. You wait for me at home, and don’t open the door.”
Ye Sui hurriedly shook her head. “No, no, I want to go with you.”
Ye Sui didn’t want to stay at home alone. She put on a big scarf, followed Chen Shu closely, and went to the security room together.
The security guard in the control room recognized Chen Shu. He only roughly remembered that this young couple had moved here recently.
Chen Shu directly asked, “Can you take a look at the surveillance around 7:50 pm?” When opening the door, Chen Shu had paid particular attention to the time.
The guard replayed the surveillance as he asked. Chen Shu and Ye Sui leaned slightly together and looked closely.
“Stop here.” The video was still, the time just pointing to 7:49. There was no one in the hallway, and no figure even passed by.
Then the video started playing. The next second, the door opened, and Chen Shu came out from inside. There was no one outside.
Chen Shu: “Can you look back again?”
At 7: 49, both Ye Sui and Chen Shu noticed that an envelope had appeared out of thin air on the ground.
The couple looked at each other and did not speak. They also did not elaborate it to the security guard, just casually finding an excuse to leave the security room.
“No one put it, right?” Ye Sui said in a low voice in the elevator.
Chen Shu looked at Ye Sui. She did not dare to leave him by even half a meter, standing firmly beside him.
Chen Shu narrowed his eyes. His voice turned soft and soothing. “If you are afraid, you can come to my room at any time.”
“I’m used to it, don’t worry.” Having her thoughts read, Ye Sui spoke stiffly.
When Ye Sui returned to her room, Chen Shu’s eyes first stayed on Ye Sui’s closed door for a while and then went to his study room.
He had much to do tonight and would be awake all night. If Ye Sui was scared, he would find it in time.
At 3:00 am
Chen Shu’s study room was still lit, and Ye Sui had already gone to sleep. Since he was at home, she was not as scared as before.
Knock, knock, knock-!
On the top 14th floor, a window was knocked. No one expected someone to knock on the window from the outside. Hence, Ye Sui did not open her eyes. She just rolled over and continued to sleep.
Knock, knock, knock-!
It seemed that someone continued knocking on the window without minding the time. With the sound of knocking, the window also vibrated slightly.
Ye Sui woke up instantly. The incomer outside saw Ye Sui wake up, and suddenly, the knocking on the window became louder. The window was even opened up a slit, and the wind rolled up the curtains.
Ye Sui immediately got up from the bed, and subconsciously shouted, “Chen Shu!”
Chapter 75: Bloody Letter (3)
Ye Sui immediately got up from the bed, and subconsciously shouted, “Chen Shu!”
A few seconds later, the sound of hurried footsteps approached. The door was pulled open, and Chen Shu appeared outside.
The lights in the living room were on, and the soft light dispelled the darkness in the room in an instant. Chen Shu saw Ye Sui wrapped in the quilt and sitting blankly on the bed. He reached out and pressed the switch directly.
At that moment, the whole room brightened up.
Chen Shu walked quickly to Ye Sui’s bed with a grave expression, “What’s wrong?”
Ye Sui pointed to the knocked window. “Someone was knocking on the window.” Right that instant, someone started to knock on the window again, proving her words.
Chen Shu just wanted to go to the window, but Ye Sui immediately got up from the bed and said to him, “I’ll go with you.”
As he approached the window, Ye Sui saw a dark shadow outside, hazy and indistinct.
Chen Shu had always been courageous. He opened the window without any scruples. The window suddenly opened with a bang as if something had been hit.
Ye Sui frowned doubtfully. “Did you hear?”
Chen Shu gave her a strange look. “What voice?”
While talking, Ye Sui and Chen Shu heard the sound of knocking on the window again. It was especially scary on a dark night.
“Come again.” Ye Sui pointed out the window, and the dark shadow appeared again. It was impossible for it to be a human. How could an ordinary person be outside the 14th story in the middle of the night?
Chen Shu once again opened the window, and a loud bang accompanied by a sudden scream followed.
Ah-!
The sound grew farther and farther away, finally dissolving into a point that faded away, and the black shadow disappeared.
Ye Sui thought that as long as Chen Shu was involved, his every action would cause substantial damage to the ghost. The ghost just now… should have been fanned down by the window.
“Chen Shu, I have to say…” Ye Sui looked at Chen Shu with complicated eyes. “You are really amazing.”
Chen Shu was not only not tired after staying up most of the night, but he was also in high spirits. He smiled and said, “Is that ghost still there?”
Because when the ghosts met Chen Shu, their abilities would drop sharply, suffering a big loss. It caused Ye Sui to forget the existence of the ghost outside the window.
Ye Sui looked out. “It’s coming!”
When Chen Shu was about to touch the window, a hand appeared at the edge of the window sill. “Wait, Hero, save my life!”
Ye Sui was cursing in her heart. Are you still alive?
A chubby ghost crept in through the window. He hid in a corner, scared of Chen Shu’s appearance.
Ye Sui: “What are you doing, knocking at my window in the middle of the night?”
The chubby ghost was somewhat embarrassed: “I am a fan of Chang Ying, so I don’t like you as Chang Ying’s doppelganger. I just wanted to scare you.”
Ye Sui’s eyes squinted. “Did you also put the letter at the door? Did you want to frighten me on purpose?”
The ghost motioned with his hand at once, fearing that Chen Shu might look for trouble. “It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me! It was another female ghost. It had nothing to do with me. Please explain it to your husband.”
The window-climbing ghost did not know the identity of the female ghost.
Ye Sui retold the story of the chubby ghost to Chen Shu. Afterward, he looked in the direction of her vision just now. “Can you go then? Go through the window.”
The ghost who climbed up the window grievously withdrew his footsteps, avoiding Chen Shu and walking towards the window. He didn’t expect Chang Ying’s look-alike to have such a terrible husband.
As long as Ye Sui’s husband was by her side, neither human nor ghost could get near. Even Chang Ying still chose to concede; she could win over Ye Sui.
Ye Sui watched the ghost leave and couldn’t help but think: if the female ghost was not scaring her, did she really need help?
