The air seemed to freeze at that moment, and she only felt a chill on her back, as if something was blowing air at her. Cheng Wushuang's face turned pale and she pursed her lips, then suddenly turned around with great courage.

  "Hoo—!"

  Looking at the empty space behind her, Cheng Wushuang let out a sigh of relief, although her complexion was still not very good.

  "Where's the kid? Where is he?! I'm telling you, Little Zhang, next time you spout nonsense like that, you won't have to go to work anymore!"

  Cheng Yuexia was scolding with a sharp tongue, while fumbling around with her hands, which made her look a bit comical. But Secretary Zhang didn't find it amusing at all, now there's a huge question mark hanging over her head - couldn't the supervisor see that child?

  Otherwise she wouldn't know, that child has already climbed onto her back!

  Secretary Zhang's heart was actually more terrified than Cheng Wusuo, she and all the employees could see this child, but Cheng Wusuo insisted that she had never seen any child, the child must not be brought by her.

  Cheng Wushuang, as the head of the company, would not dare to lie openly. Therefore, there are only two possibilities for this matter: one is that Cheng Wushuang has gone mad, and the other is... they have seen a ghost!

  "It must be the boss who's gone mad, how can there possibly be ghosts in this world?!"

  As she thought about it, her heart felt much lighter, but when she looked back again, Cheng Wushuang and the child had already left.

  Because the clothes on her body were covered with mud prints, Cheng Wushuang had to take them off and rushed towards the elevator. As she passed by the work area, those strange gazes of the employees appeared in her eyes again, as if they had seen an unbelievable scene.

  "What are you looking at! Don't you know it's working hours!"

  Cheng Wushuang fiercely glared at the employees, and upon seeing this, everyone immediately withdrew their gaze. However, she could still hear some murmurs. She didn't bother to listen to what those people were saying anymore, and her footsteps quickened by a few paces.

  She finally arrived at the elevator, and fortunately, it had just stopped on this floor, and there was no one inside. There being no one inside was exactly what she had hoped to see; otherwise, she would have been subjected to that kind of gaze again.

  Actually, she had a suspicion in her heart that the so-called child might not exist at all. Was it just an excuse fabricated by the employees to intimidate her? Just like the idiom "three people make a tiger", making her think it was true.

  "It must be so, they deliberately use the same words, wanting to scare me away with ghostly talk. If I leave, they can do whatever they want in the company."

  Having figured this out, Cheng Wushuang was indeed less panicked than before, and even wanted to walk out of the elevator and go back to work. But thinking that his clothes were still dirty, he couldn't help but dismiss this idea, and calmly closed the elevator door.

  However, just as the elevator doors were about to close, a wide palm suddenly inserted into the gap, and then the elevator doors slowly opened again.

  "Huh?"

  Seeing the man coming in, Cheng Wushuang couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation. The man looked very familiar to her. Where had she seen him before?

  The man also looked at her with an inexplicable gaze after closing the elevator door, making the atmosphere in the elevator a bit awkward for a while. Finally, both of them started talking:

  "We..."

  This sentence was almost in unison, Cheng Wushuang became even more embarrassed, the man was fine, smiled with great elegance, and then said to her:

  "Ladies first."

  Cheng Wushuang smiled back at her and then heard her say:

  "You look very familiar, we may have met somewhere before."

  "This is natural, because we knew each other from the start."

  The man smiled slightly, but soon the smile on his face faded away:

  "But have to say, time really flies, in the blink of an eye we are all going to be thirty."

  "Who are you?"

  The way this man spoke seemed as if he was particularly familiar with her, but she thought for half a day and couldn't remember knowing him.

  Jian Cheng Wushuang didn't recognize himself, and the man let out a bitter laugh, shrugging his shoulders, then reminded him by saying:

  Qingfeng County.

  At the mention of "Qingfeng County", Cheng Wushuang's eyes widened in surprise as he stared at the man in front of him:

  "You were at that time..."

  "Life imprisonment." The man's eyes took on a nostalgic look as he muttered:

  "This nickname was given by you, and it's been nearly twenty years since we parted ways."

  Cheng Wushuang finally recognized the man in front of her, he was one of her playmates when she was a kid. It's no wonder she didn't have an impression of him, after all, she had left that place for over ten years, and the little brat back then had grown into a handsome man.

  "Yes, if you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have remembered, it just felt a bit familiar."

  At this point, Cheng Wushuang thought of something again:

  "By the way, what brings you here?"

  "Going to work, but it's just the second day after being transferred."

  "Really? Well, that's good because I have something to ask you. Although it's been many years since we last contacted each other, I think you won't deceive me."

  At these words, the man slightly hesitated and then nodded:

  "Of course, what would you like to ask?"

  "Have colleagues ever discussed me in private? Such as playing a prank to scare me, or thinking of ways to force me to leave. It's that kind of conspiracy, wanting to drive me away..."

  "I've never heard of it, but today someone was discussing the child you brought with you. To be honest, I was very surprised when I saw him, and I didn't even know you were already married and had children."

  "What! You saw that kid too?"

  "Yes, I caught a glimpse of you when I arrived this morning, and saw that you were walking ahead with a little kid by your side, then you went into the office."

  Cheng Wushuang's face suddenly turned ugly again, she stared at the man's eyes and asked word by word:

  "You swore you didn't cheat on me!"

  The man was taken aback by Cheng Wushuang's sudden change in expression, but still instinctively replied:

  "I swear."

  Upon hearing the man's solemn reply, all the blood drained from Cheng Wushuang's face.

  "What's wrong? That child... is there something wrong with him?"

  Jian Cheng Wushuang's face looked extremely unsightly, and the man asked another concerned question.

  "I don't have kids at all!"

  The elevator door suddenly opened, and Cheng Wushuang pushed the man away, storming out. The man looked at Cheng Wushuang's receding back, his heart filled with doubt and even more regret.

  Suddenly, a blurry figure appeared in his line of sight. It was a dirty little kid who had run over from somewhere and actually caught up with Cheng Wushuang, who was walking ahead, and climbed onto her back in just two or three steps.

  Just as the two were about to disappear, the child turned his head and looked at him, this glance made his hair stand on end.

  "That child... I feel like I've seen her somewhere before. Didn't she say she didn't have any children? Then why is she letting such a dirty kid climb all over her? And with a kid that big, she doesn't look like she's exerting herself at all!"

  The more the man thought about it, the stranger he felt. Cheng Wushuang was at most thirty years old, while the child looked to be eleven or twelve years old. Even if you calculated the time, it was impossible for that child to be Cheng Wushuang's.

  He didn't know why he was thinking so much, maybe he still missed Musou. He remembered the promise he made when he was a kid, to find Musou when he grew up and make her his wife.

  "Haha, I'm really naive."

  The man smiled bitterly and shook his head, then quickly left as well.

  As soon as Cheng Wushuang came out of the building, she regretted it. She and Wu Qi could be considered old acquaintances after all these years, and running into each other again was a very fateful coincidence. But instead, she had vaguely vented her anger at him, and in the end, they parted ways on bad terms.

  It's been so many years since we last met, we should have found a place to catch up, but she...

  "It's all because of that kid! I must find out who that kid is!"

  As soon as she thought of this, she suddenly lost all interest and simply opened the car door and got in. Earlier in the elevator, Wu did not actively mention the child, it seemed that the child was not by her side at that time.

  She suddenly felt that it might be better to call the police, what if the child mistook her for his own mother? But she didn't know what the child looked like, and reporting it would be useless without a description.

  As she was thinking, she had already started the car, but just as she was about to step on the accelerator, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of something.

  Those are the shoes! The ones she threw away in the trash can that morning!

  How could it... how could it appear again on her passenger seat?

  Wait! The child's shoes, the invisible child!

  Cheng Wushuang suddenly thought of something, she was scared and screamed loudly, opening the car door, her hands and feet were busy throwing out that shoe. Then, she stepped on the accelerator and drove the car away like a frightened bird.

  At the same time, on this side of the crowd.

  The bus sped along the endless highway with a roar of engines, and it was already the third day that Xiao Mo and others had spent on the bus. In other words, they were getting close to the next event.

  "Are we just going to sit here quietly? Don't you plan on holding a battle strategy meeting?"

  Li Shuai suddenly broke the silence in the car and suggested to Zhang Tianyi and Lao Gao, after all, these two people are old hands at solving cases.

  Zhang Tianyi did not respond, apparently without that elegance, and as for Lao Gao, he looked at Li Shuai with a sarcastic face, it can be seen that he has never had this habit.

  Xiao Mo had long expected this situation, Li Shuai and Lao Gao only told them some things similar to rules, as for experience, preparation and other things, they never mentioned too much.

  "How boring!"

  Li Shuai grumbled and sat back beside Xiao Mo, seeing this, the rotten Taoist priest smiled and comforted him:

  "You think we're a combat squad or something, and now you want to hold an emergency meeting."

  "You know what? I really did think so, otherwise why would we all gather together?"

  "What can we discuss by holding a meeting? We don't know anything about what's going to happen next!"

  Xiao Mengqian laughed twice, he also wanted to prepare thoroughly, but Xin Yan's premonition was only useful in the event, so now they could only stare blankly out of the window.

  Just as the three were talking, Old Gao, who was driving, suddenly reminded them:

  "Everyone get ready, we've arrived at the location of this event!"
