Deadly Twelve Days

Looking at Zheng Yuan's figure slowly dissipating like a light and shadow, a bitterness arose in my heart. Although I know that I might be being a little too emotional like this, as a walking yin, I can predict that the next things I see will be ghosts lingering in the mortal world because of various reasons. However, facing the miserable lives of others, it is really hard for me to not be moved.

I was silent for a long time. Finally, I slowly opened the door and let Hu Shuang and Jun Zi in.

"Mu Fan …" Jun'er looked at me with anticipation. I knew what she wanted to ask, so I lightly nodded. My mood had yet to recover from Zheng Yuan's incident.

Jun Zi was instantly overjoyed. She hurriedly ran to Zhang Qiang's bedside, and when she saw Zhang Qiang's serene face, her tears fell like rain, and she sobbed silently.

I didn't say much, but looked at Hu Shuang with a knowing smile, and didn't say anything to Jun'er before leaving the ward.

"You cured Zhang Qiang?" Hu Shuang looked at me with a puzzled expression.

I don't deny it, but to be honest, I'm really happy to be able to help Zhang Qiang.

"How is this possible? You actually have this kind of ability when writing code?" Hu Shuang heartlessly cried out, directly hurting my meager self-esteem.

Thus, my face darkened. I started to argue with Hu Shuang, "So what if you're writing code? Your ability to write code is great. Also, how do you know that I don't have any other skills?"

When Hu Shuang heard this, he giggled and grabbed my arm. The soft spot made my heart flutter. He looked at me with a smile and said, "That's right. You're not only a code writer. You're also a doctor. You specialize in treating lunatics."

However, the moment she said that, she seemed to recall something and quickly looked behind her. She was afraid that Zhang Qiang and Jun'er would hear her words, so she stuck out her tongue and made a face, appearing to be in a daze.

Although some sentiments, but at this time my mood is really not bad, Hu-Shuang returned to the company.

Since I had nothing to do in the afternoon, I just followed my original plan and designed a framework for Hu Shuang's dad's company. After that, it was very simple to fill in the code, and I didn't spend too much time waiting for the day to come.

As for Mighty, he didn't urge me to do anything. He just shut himself up in his office.

However, when I was about to get off work, my phone rang. I took it out and saw that it was a call from a stranger. At first, I thought it was a sales pitch or a scammer, so I didn't pick it up.

On the phone was a completely unfamiliar man's voice. He said very politely, "Is this Master Mu?"

I paused for a moment. Currently, the number of living people who know my identity are few in number. There's even more than one slap. Who is this person? How did he know my phone number? How did he know who I am?

So when I asked him who he was, he didn't say much and instead asked me, "Is the master free now? I want to see you. "

To tell the truth, I really didn't have the leisure to pay attention to him at a normal time, but due to my curiosity, I replied in a muddled manner. In the end, we agreed to meet at the Ocean Blue Coffee House.

I greeted Hu Shuang and said that I had to go out. Hu Shuang seemed exceptionally obedient and didn't ask any questions. Instead, he urged me to go back quickly, saying that he was waiting for me to eat together with him.

I smiled and rubbed her hair under the astonished gaze of my colleagues.

It had to be known that Hu Shuang was an existence that even bulls and bulls wouldn't dare to provoke. As for her background, all her colleagues knew about it and kept their distance from her.

Ocean Blue Coffee Shop wasn't far from here. It would only take me around ten to twenty minutes to walk there. There was still enough time anyway, so I bought a cup of milk tea and headed over there at a leisurely pace.

In my free time, I began to think about the phone call and what kind of person I was going to see.

By the time I finished my milk tea, I had already reached the entrance of the coffee shop. I found a seat near the window and sat down.

At this moment, a person ran out of the car. He was dressed properly, and his hair was combed neatly. He looked to be in his forties, but as soon as he got out of the car, he took out his phone and walked into the coffee shop.

A few seconds later, my phone rang. It was the same number as before.

I smiled knowingly and waved my cell phone at the middle-aged man standing at the front desk.

He looked at me with a slightly surprised expression, but it was only for a split-second. He then walked over with a smile and bent over while extending his hand. "Hello, Master Mu. My name is Sun Sheng."

As soon as I sat down, I asked him, "How do you know about me?"

"Oh, it was Director Liu who introduced him. He's a friend of mine." Sun Sheng looked like a seasoned veteran of the martial arts world. His manner and actions were generous, and he asked me, "What would you like to drink, Master?"

"Let's have a glass of water," I said casually. As a programmer, I only get to touch coffee, tea, or red cattle, which is why I don't even touch them if it's not necessary.

"Who is Director Liu?" I asked him again. When I said this, I searched through my mind and realized that I didn't know a boss with the surname Liu. There weren't many people with the surname Liu that I knew due to the small circle of activities.

"You don't know Master Liu Yunwen?" Sun Sheng appeared very surprised.

I smiled wryly and shook my head, thinking to myself, When did I become so famous that I didn't even know myself?

However, from the looks of it, there was no way to investigate it. Thinking that he must have some sort of motive for finding me after being introduced, I asked, "What business do you have with me?"

"Master, please take a look first." Saying this, Sun Sheng began to rummage through his handbag. Finally, he took out a photo and placed it in front of me.

I took the photo and looked at it. A boy about seven or eight years old was sitting on the sofa, making a face.

Judging from the background, this little boy should be in a house somewhere, and his family should be quite good. Whether it was the sofa he was sitting on, the decorations on the wall behind him, or the size of the house … all these meant that this boy's parents were very powerful.

However, this picture was very ordinary. There was nothing special about it.

I was prepared to return the photo to Sun Sheng, but after thinking about it, he probably intentionally gave it to me for a reason, and definitely not just for me to see.

Thinking of this, I carefully examined it a few more times before finally discovering a trace of an abnormality.

Behind the little boy's back was a lighter area that looked overexposed and out of place in the dark European style of the room.

Moreover, this area looked slightly larger than the little boy's head. It was oval in shape, and apart from this, there was nothing else unusual about it.

After confirming that nothing was amiss, I returned the photo to Sun Sheng's hand. Just as I was about to ask Sun Sheng for his intentions, my eyes swept over the photo again. Using the reflection from outside, I finally saw the shadow behind the boy.

I couldn't help but be surprised, but my face remained unchanged. I pretended to be unperturbed as I handed the photo to Sun Sheng and asked: "Who is this little boy?"

Sun Sheng took the photo and looked at it. His expression was somewhat complicated as he said in a low voice: "This is my son. His name is Sun Hu, and he's already seven and a half years old."

I nodded and began to think about whether I should tell Sun Sheng about the shadow, but then Sun Sheng asked me: "Did the master see anything?"

I hesitated a bit, but in the end, it didn't have much to do with me. Anyway, you were the one who came knocking on the door, so it didn't matter if I was right or wrong. I nodded and said, "When your son took this picture, there seemed to be something behind him."

Hearing this, Sun Sheng was overjoyed and became extremely excited. He grabbed my hand and said, "That's great! I didn't expect Master Mu to be able to see through me so quickly. My son can be saved."

His face was flushed and he was smiling excitedly. He grabbed my hand and used a lot of strength, causing me to be unable to pull back my hand even after several times.

Thus, I smiled awkwardly and whispered, "I was just lucky."

"Master Mu, don't be so modest, I've looked for many people, but none of them have realized it. You're the first person I've seen," Saying this, Sun Sheng once again rummaged through his small bag, and finally took out a leather envelope from inside and placed it in front of me. He said earnestly: "Master Mu, please save my son, this is the deposit of 10,000 yuan, we'll have to thank you again after the deal is completed."
