Chapter 153: Definitely Possessed
Chapter 153: Definitely Possessed
Xiao Cheng was testing her, but Chu He didn't know and thought he was just curious.
He casually said, "Maybe I saw it when I was a child, but I can't remember it clearly."
She remembered that when she was trying to escape from the kidnappers and run away for her life, Xiao Su happened to appear and save her.
But that memory had always been hazy, on the edge of oblivion. Just now, it suddenly became clear, and she remembered Xiao Su's face.
"Can't remember? What about me? Maybe we met when we were kids?"
Before she finished speaking, Chu He's face had turned pale. She didn't understand why she had such a reaction. Her memories flooded back: the fear and panic of that night, Xiao Su's face, and... blood and a blurred face?
"I feel a little unwell. Tell your grandpa, I'm leaving first."
After saying that, she turned and rushed out.
Xiao Cheng stood there with a gloomy face. His back felt tight and began to pull at his nerves, making him feel pain but also awake.
Since leaving the second-hand bookstore, the two have started to get along like strangers again, not disturbing or interfering with each other.
Three days passed like this, and Chu He returned to the Chu family. He asked his eldest brother Chu Feng about the details of the kidnapping, but his brother's story was flawless and logically sound, leaving no room for doubt.
When he was kidnapped, his parents happened to be abroad. When they rushed back after hearing the news, it was already a few days later. The matter had already been handled low-key. The police did not reveal much, only saying that it was an accident and the suspect had been shot dead on the spot.
At that time, the Chu Group was facing a business crisis and its competition with the Xiao family was at its peak. His parents suspected that the kidnapping was related to the Xiao family.
But just a few days after the kidnapping, news broke that Xiao Cheng, the second young master of the Xiao family, had killed three people due to excessive self-defense. The entire Wancheng was discussing this matter, and the Chu family also shifted their attention to it.
Both families were in a sensitive period, and if the news of the kidnapping were to be spread, it would likely cause a bigger disturbance. In addition, Chu He was not injured, so the kidnapping incident was handled quickly and low-key, and the Chu family did not pursue it further.
In the gallery, in the restroom.
Chu He vomited so much that everything was dark and her mind was confused.
What's wrong with her? She wants to go into that old bookstore with Xiao Cheng. She must be possessed by evil spirits.
Ever since she saw the photo of Xiao Cheng and Xiao Su, her memory had become obsessed, bringing her back to the things she least wanted to recall. Bloody images and a pair of fierce, bloodthirsty eyes would flash through her mind from time to time, making her scalp numb, dizzy, nauseous, and uncontrollable panic.
"vomit……"
After another bout of dry heaving, Chu He collapsed on the toilet, all her strength drained from her body.
Meng Qi hurried into the bathroom in high heels.
He walked over with a worried look on his face, and seeing Chu He's unhappy expression, he patted her on the back.
"How are you? Are you feeling better? I've noticed you've been running to the bathroom these past couple of days, and you look pale when you come out. You wouldn't vomit for days after eating something bad, would you?"
"It's okay. I feel much better after vomiting."
As he was speaking, the phone in his hand started ringing again. Meng Qi then remembered and quickly handed the phone to Chu He.
"Your phone keeps ringing. I think it's Xiao Cheng calling. I wonder if it's urgent. Please answer it quickly."
Chu He stood up, leaning against the wall. Her legs were weak. She walked to the washbasin and rinsed her mouth with cold water. Then she slowly took the phone and swiped to answer it.
On the other end of the phone, Xiao Cheng's voice was low and went straight to the point.
"There's a party tonight, you come with me."
