Du Xiaolan's complaints made me laugh. She always vented her grievances to the bride after every job.
I said some comforting words, and Du Xiaolan sighed, saying, "You don't know. When I mentioned Fei Xueming, the bride's expression was so proud, as if she had found the best man in the world."
I asked with a smile, "Really? What did she say?"
"She said she used all means to snatch Fei Xueming from someone else. It was all thanks to an accident two years ago; otherwise, Fei Xueming would have been married to someone else long ago." Du Xiaolan vividly described, "But I don't think the bride is a good person. She looks good with makeup, but when it's removed, you would not see a pretty picture."
Honestly, I had listened to Du Xiaolan slander others to the point of ear fatigue, but today was the first time I heard her mock someone so much.
Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly remembered what He Tingyun's son, Xiao He, had said. The accident two years ago was not an accident, but was deliberately caused by someone.
He Tingyun also said that her brakes failed when she turned, which obviously was not a simple coincidence.
Now, with Du Xiaolan's vivid description of the bride at today's wedding, along with He Tingyun's series of unusual behaviors at the cemetery today, I felt even more uneasy.
When the traffic light was red, I quickly turned around. Du Xiaolan asked me puzzled why, and I said I had forgotten to bring something.
No spirit would want their own happiness taken away by someone else, and everything she said today was likely to deceive me.
Regardless of whether she would act today, I had to stay by Fei Xueming's side, or a perfectly fine person today might end up as a corpse tomorrow.
It was already the busy time of the evening rush hour. The lanes out of the city were very smooth, but the lanes entering the city were heavily congested.
Du Xiaolan seemed not to want to go back anymore and suggested that I come back to pick something up the next day. I didn't respond, and we waited for almost an hour before it cleared up.
When we arrived at Fei Xueming's new house, it was already after seven o'clock. Du Xiaolan asked me what I had forgotten at someone else's house. I didn't say a word, knocked on the door hard, and after a while, the door opened.
There was no one in the new house making a fuss in the bridal chamber. When Fei Xueming saw me, he hesitated for a moment and then asked with an unnatural smile, "Is there something wrong?"
"I forgot a procedure," I smiled, and Fei Xueming glanced around, then turned to let me and Du Xiaolan in.
The living room was already well decorated, all in festive red.
I cast a glance around and asked with a hint of confusion, "Where's the bride?"
"Do you need anything?" Fei Xuemin's attitude was somewhat cold, completely different from before.
Now at their house, afraid he might throw us out, I couldn't mention anything else and instead glanced at the bridal chamber, saying, "Our company has a rule that after the wedding, we need to take a photo with the newlyweds for commemoration."
I made up this rule, and the brainless Du Xiaolan did not cooperate with me at all; instead, she looked at me with confusion on her face.
I signaled to her, but she still didn't understand.
Fei Xuemin waved his hand and said, "No need, our matters don’t need to be complicated like this."
"It's not troublesome, just standing together to take a photo is enough," I said as I took out the camera.
"No need!" Fei Xuemin's face turned ugly. Pointing to the door, he said to me, "If there's nothing else, you may leave first. It's already dark outside."
What I least wanted to see had already happened before my eyes. As I was about to leave, I heard a faint "whimpering" sound coming from the bathroom.
Halting my steps, I looked over and asked, "Can I use your bathroom?"
Fei Xuemin became nervous all of a sudden. Before he could speak, I walked over confidently.
The closer I got, the clearer the "whimpering" sound became. My hand fell on the door handle, and just as Fei Xuemin said, "There's someone inside," I had already opened the door.
Curled up in the bathtub inside the bathroom was a woman, her hands and feet tightly bound. Seeing me, her fully made-up face was full of terror as she continued to whimper at me.
This woman was the bride. At this moment, she appeared in the bathtub in this state, and I instantly realized that Fei Xuemin was going to kill her!
I turned to look at Fei Xuemin, his face extremely ugly, as he clenched his fists and stepped towards me.
In terms of size, I was completely not his match. Du Xiaolan hurriedly came to my side to try to stop Fei Xuemin, but it was useless.
Just as I prepared to put up a fierce struggle, Fei Xuemin suddenly flew over to the side.
This sudden scene really surprised me. Before I could react, I heard a chilling voice coming from the doorway, "Fei Xuemin, I swore that as long as you got married, I would personally kill you."
A cold wind blew through the room as I looked over and saw He Tingyun's long hair flying. The previously dry clothes were now spotted with water stains, and her face was covered with continuous water streaks.
I swallowed hard, and Du Xiaolan exclaimed and quickly ran to my side.
At this moment, her resentment was very strong. Her originally pale face had turned dark, as if she could crush and obliterate us at any moment.
I nervously edged closer to the wall, with Yu Rubing's umbrella still in the car. If I had it with me, I wouldn't need to fear the already crazed He Tingyun.
"Cough, cough!" Fei Xuemin got up from the ground, coughing violently. He looked at He Tingyun without fear, but rather with excitement, "Tingyun, I knew you would come out to see me. I'm ready, do you like this new body in the bathroom?"
I sighed inwardly; Fei Xuemin had gone insane. He actually wanted to help He Tingyun possess the bride's body.
"Fei Xuemin, shut up!" He Tingyun sneered repeatedly, and the room suddenly became much colder. She extended her hands, with razor-sharp nails pointing at Fei Xuemin, and said coldly, "Two years ago, you did something in the car, today I will take your life!"
"Listen to the cloud, it wasn't me who tampered with your car!" Fei Xuemin covered his chest and walked towards He Tingyun, saying, "After your accident, I knew someone had tampered with it, and after investigating, I finally found the real culprit!"
"Don't try to deceive me. Daring to act but not admitting it, it doesn't matter if I die, but my child, he isn't even a year old. How could your heart be so ruthless? He is your own flesh and blood!" He Tingyun shouted and quickly rushed over, grabbing Fei Xuemin's neck and lifting him up.
