Chapter 676: There’s a Ghost in the Dormitory (Part Two)

“Ah Ying, didn’t you hear the crying? It’s a woman’s cry. She was even talking.” Yuan Ting looked like she was crazy and was about to collapse.

Zhu Cuiying scolded, “You’re crazy. There’s no sound!”

With that, she fell asleep.

Yuan Ting thought that she had heard wrongly. She curled up under the blanket and was about to fall asleep when the sound rang again. Yuan Ting was so frightened that her soul was about to leave her body. She had no time to analyze where the sound came from. Yuan Ting was really afraid. She lifted the blanket and ran to the bed next door, shaking Zhu Cuiying awake.

Zhu Cuiying was especially impatient and asked her, “Are you crazy?”

Yuan Ting asked her nervously, “Ah Ying, listen. Did you hear that? That woman is still crying!” Yuan Ting did not dare to admit that the crying woman’s voice sounded especially like Ji Yue.

Zhu Cuiying pricked up her ears and listened before saying, “No.”

Yuan Ting’s face turned completely pale.

“How could that be! That voice is clearly still there. Listen more!” Zhu Cuiying scolded her for being crazy and fell asleep without caring about her. Yuan Ting was really going crazy. She could not care less and ran to knock on the door. As she knocked on the door, she asked the police on duty outside for help.

“Save me! Save me! There’s a ghost in my room!”

In the middle of the night, many curses came from the same building.

A few minutes later, the prison police arrived at their prison in exasperation. At that moment, the voice disappeared. They searched the room but could not find the so-called ghost or any suspicious items. They criticized Yuan Ting one last time before leaving.

The next day at work, whenever Yuan Ting saw someone, she would say that there was a ghost in her room. Everyone treated her as a lunatic, and no one believed her words.

After several days, something strange happened in Yuan Ting’s prison.

Sometimes, in the middle of the night, she would hear Ji Yue’s cries. When she was bathing, she would hear Ji Yue’slaughter again. There was even once when she woke up from her sleep and saw the word ‘death’ carved on her chest. She did not even know when it was carved!

Yuan Ting cried as she found the prison guards and showed them the word ‘death’ on her chest. When they saw the word ‘death’, the police actually thought that Yuan Ting’s spirit in prison had been agitated and could not accept the cruel reality, so she became crazy. It was a masterpiece carved by herself.

No one believed Yuan Ting’s words. Everyone treated her as a lunatic. As time passed, even Yuan Ting suspected that she was crazy.

…

The winter had already passed, and the footsteps of spring stepped into Junyang City.

On a sunny day, after lunch, Han Bing took off his thick winter clothes and changed into a thin jacket and short jacket. Cai Jie asked him where he was going, but he only said that he was going to meet an old friend. Cai Jie asked him if he was coming back for dinner.

After thinking about it, Han Bing said, “Probably not.”

“Okay.”

Han Bing did not call the driver. He drove to the women’s prison himself. His visit made the prison police officer who came to receive him feel uneasy. Han Bing saw that the police officer was uncomfortable and said, “I’m just here to visit. Comrade, you don’t have to be nervous.”

Hearing Han Bing’s words, the prison police officer was still nervous.

“Secretary Han, sit here and wait for a while. I’ve already informed the people inside to look for her.” Even though Han Bing had already retired, everyone still habitually called him Secretary Han when they saw him.

“Yeah.”

Han Bing’s identity was different. Just as he sat down, the prison police officer who served him brought him a cup of tea. “It might take a while. Secretary Han, have a cup of tea first.”

“Okay, thanks.”

The policeman was also smart. He did not stay for long before closing the door and leaving.

Han Bing was not the only one who came to visit his relatives and friends today. However, after he entered, the meeting room was cleared, leaving him alone.

Yuan Ting’s name sounded on the radio in the prison factory building.

Yuan Ting stopped what she was doing and was brought to the meeting room by the police. Along the way, Yuan Ting wondered who wanted to see her. Was it the old lover who had taken care of her for many years, or the younger generation friends she had made in the entertainment industry?

She was actually quite surprised. After the things she had done were exposed, she had already become a malignant tumor in the entertainment industry. Which of the juniors who had once fawned on her still dared to interact with her? They were afraid that mentioning her name would affect their future.

Yuan Ting had been living poorly recently and had been suspicious of everything. She even thought that Ji Yue’s ghost had come to see her.

“She’s here.”

Yuan Ting entered the meeting room. There were many small cubicles in the meeting room. Yuan Ting entered the inner room and realized that she was alone in the room. She walked in and saw that there was no one in the house opposite. Only when she reached the innermost part did Yuan Ting see the person sitting on the chair clearly.

It was actually Han Bing.

Yuan Ting was stunned when she saw Han Bing.

Han Bing looked up as if he had sensed something. When he saw Yuan Ting, his gaze was a little dazed. Yuan Ting had only been in prison for more than a month. She looked like she had aged a few years. Where’s any trace of her past charm and beauty?

However, Han Bing had always hated this person. Seeing her end up like this, he was calm.

Yuan Ting smiled sadly and sat down on the chair.

After staring at Yuan Ting for a moment, Han Bing picked up the walkie-talkie on the high platform in front of him. Yuan Ting narrowed her eyes and stretched out her slightly aged right hand to pick up the walkie-talkie. Yuan Ting’s lips moved, but she did not speak. Han Bing was also silent.

Yuan Ting looked at the person opposite her and thought about her youth.

When she was young, she did love Han Bing very much.

At that time, Han Bing’s family was poor, but he was more arrogant than everyone else. He was good-looking, had a limitless future, and was an upright person. Such a person attracted the most attention of an unfaithful eldest daughter like Yuan Ting. Yuan Ting had been chaotic since she was in her teens. Her father had power and status, and doted on her. As such, she had developed a lawless personality.

When she was young, she had taken a fancy to that boy. With just a confession, she could get anyone she wanted, but Han Bing was like an iron plate. Yuan Ting was infuriated, but she liked him even more. She knew about Han Bing and the Ji family’s fifth daughter, but the Ji family was a medical family. No matter how famous their family was, Yuan Ting was not afraid.

Yuan Ting relied on her power, appearance, and figure to often harass Han Bing. However, Han Bing was completely unmoved. He only had eyes for the Ji family’s fifth daughter. Yuan Ting could not stand that Ji Yue. She looked like a delicate white lotus, and Yuan Ting was annoyed just by looking at her.

During that period of time, she had done a lot of bad things to separate Han Bing and Ji Yue, but that foolish Ji Yue actually believed in Han Bing’s intentions without a doubt, never suspecting him. Since she was unable to stir up their relationship, Yuan Ting could only beg her father to take action.
