Chapter 448: Chapter 449: Mr. Shi’s Criminal Detective Rival
Where in the world do all these bizarre incidents come from...
Yet once such a peculiar thought took root in his brain, it seemed impossible to eradicate.
The idea burrowed deeper into his mind.
Shi Lingyan knew that, in reality, it was just a form of psychological suggestion.
Because he hoped for a certain outcome, his brain automatically extended thoughts in that direction, causing his guesses to delve deeper and deeper.
Rationality told him that he should stop fantasizing.
After all, the greater the hope, the greater the letdown if it turned out that the reality wasn’t as he wished, slapping him squarely in the face.
But he couldn’t help harboring a sliver of hope.
What if he was lucky and really stumbled upon such an otherworldly incident?
Engrossed in his own thoughts, Shi Lingyan hadn’t spoken for a long time. Bao Gui knew he must have thought of something.
But if Bao Gui knew his thoughts at the moment, he probably wouldn’t be able to stop laughing.
After a long time, Shi Lingyan finally spoke, "I need to find her."
Bao Gui ’heh’ed with laughter, "So, knowing she got hurt trying to save you, you finally can’t resist, huh?"
Shi Lingyan remained silent.
Gratitude was one thing, but the main reason was those bizarre thoughts whirling in his heart.
He had to know whether his speculation was correct.
If he was wrong, then he would simply accept he had thought too much.
But what if he really was lucky and guessed right?
These ideas, though bizarre, were not impossible, were they?
At this point, Shi Lingyan was growing impatient.
Suddenly, the study room door was knocked upon, and Grandma Shi walked in.
Seeing Shi Lingyan sitting in front of the computer with a pile of documents before him, she became agitated, "The doctors have all said you need to rest well. Here you are, thinking about work all the time. If your health worsens, what will you do?"
Grandma Shi approached and covered up the documents in front of him, "Go on, get out of here. No entering the study until you’re fully recovered. Go sit outside!"
Bao Gui, already aware of Grandma Shi’s sternness, couldn’t help but feel a bit of sympathy for Shi Lingyan and snickered to himself.
Shi Lingyan had no choice, "We’re just chatting."
"Who are you fooling?" Grandma Shi glowered at him, "Chatting? Not a word said in half a day. Hmph!"
Bao Gui coughed lightly, "Grandma Shi, honestly, these aren’t work-related. They’re about Brother Shi’s car accident."
Car accident?
Grandma Shi was somewhat suspicious, "The police are handling these matters. Why trouble yourselves over it? Now, go on, outside."
Shi Lingyan had no alternative, especially since there were some things he preferred Grandma Shi not to know. After a moment’s thought, he still took Bao Gui to his room.
Upon entering Shi Lingyan’s room, Bao Gui’s eyes immediately caught sight of the Peppa Pig hung near the desk lamp, "You’ve been divorced from Shi Mei for so long, yet you haven’t taken this down. Isn’t it because you can’t forget her?"
Bao Gui knew him too well, "If you want to find her, hurry up. I heard Gao Lian is planning to take a vacation—a three to five-day break. He might go to Imperial City to reconnect with Shi Mei."
Shi Lingyan’s brows furrowed, "Is Gao Lian close to her?"
"They talk on the phone every day, what do you think?" Bao Gui said mysteriously, "I heard it’s not just during the day, but even after returning to the dorm at night. And do you know what’s even more frightening?"
"Out with it."
