Chapter 74: Starting the Investigation
After the phone turned on, when she opened the chat list again, Darling Yuqi was gone.
The other party had completely become a silent knight in the rain, guarding behind her.
Clearly, the other party had completely given up on probing.
When they were chatting using the Darling Yuqi account, there had been countless probes in between. If Bai Cha had revealed even a little bit, she should have been killed.
Fortunately, it seemed she had temporarily cleared the stage, and the other party wouldn’t probe her anymore, but would continue to observe her.
Bai Cha stared blankly at her phone.
Sighing inwardly.
So, love must be honest.
No matter what kind of love, it can’t withstand misunderstandings.
Oh, but she wasn’t an honest person.
She lied without batting an eye.
After spacing out for a while, Bai Cha finally opened the roommates’ group chat.
[gbx]: Do you guys remember my ex-boyfriend?
She could finally ask about information openly.
Someone in the group quickly replied.
[Huang Jingyi 1.15]: Who could forget? Your scumbag ex-boyfriend was the absolute worst!
[Wang Siyao 9.1]: Why suddenly bring up your ex-boyfriend? He wouldn’t be asking you for money again, would he? Didn’t you delete him?
[Zhang Lining 6.7]: If I remember correctly, he still owes you money, right?
[gbx]: He seems to be dead.
[Huang Jingyi 1.15]: ?
[Wang Siyao 9.1]: ??
[Zhang Lining 6.7]: What do you mean? Is he really dead or are you cursing him?
[gbx]: He’s really dead, it should have been at least a year.
[Zhang Lining 6.7]: Holy crap??
[Huang Jingyi 1.15]: Hahahaha, good riddance! Serves him right!
[Wang Siyao 9.1]: Wow, that’s karma, right? How did he die? Tell us so the sisters can laugh, even though it’s a bit morally questionable.
[Wang Siyao 9.1]: Knocking on wood fish.gif
[Zhang Lining 6.7]: Hahahaha! You’re so mean!
[Huang Jingyi 1.15]: Let me knock on the wood fish a thousand times first, I’m afraid I’ll laugh every time I think about this!
The corners of Bai Cha’s mouth couldn’t help but curve up slightly. But soon she thought of her ex-boyfriend’s situation, and her expression became serious.
[gbx]: Don’t laugh yet, I’m telling you this because it seems like he’s haunting me.
[Huang Jingyi 1.15]: ??
[Huang Jingyi 1.15]: Is it what I think it is? Holy crap, what’s wrong with that idiot? How does he have the nerve? Damn it! That bastard can’t even rest in peace after dying!
[Bai Cha]: “…”
Okay, so that’s why Gu Baixue loved to rant so easily. The whole dorm was probably like this.
[Wang Siyao 9.1]: Damn it, really? If it’s true, holy crap, that’s disgusting! What’s he haunting you for? Does he want you to give him money again?
[gbx]: If it was just money, it would be easy. He wants me to be with him.
[gbx]: Listen to me first.
Several roommates almost exploded, but they did manage to restrain themselves.
[Zhang Lining 6.7]: Tell us!
[gbx]: This matter is definitely not simple. Do you guys remember my ex-boyfriend’s name? How old was he? What did he look like? Where did he live?
[gbx]: I don’t know why, but I can’t remember anything at all.
When sending this message, Bai Cha had already thought of several countermeasures.
If her roommates could directly provide information, that would be best. She would just pretend that she was being deceived by a ghost and didn’t know anything.
If her roommates also didn’t remember, then wasn’t that convenient? She had bet right.
[Wang Siyao 9.1]: Hmm, wait a minute…
[Wang Siyao 9.1]: I don’t seem to remember either.
[Zhang Lining 6.7]: I can’t remember either, not at all. I have no impression of him. It’s so strange.
[Huang Jingyi 1.15]: Me too, whenever I try to think about it, my mind goes blank, as if there was never such a person. Holy crap, that’s scary!!
[Wang Siyao 9.1]: No, what’s going on?
[gbx]: I don’t know. I only know that he’s haunting me in my dreams and can even appear in reality.
[gbx]: He also gave me a birthday gift, a crystal ball with four small animals inside. That thing is quite eerie. I only realized something was wrong after receiving that thing.
After a pause, Bai Cha subconsciously looked behind her.
Finally, she lowered her eyes and typed a line in the chat box, then deleted it again.
In the end, she still didn’t tell them about Darling Yuqi.
[gbx]: In short, I want to investigate what exactly is going on with this matter. I think if it’s not just me who has forgotten his name, then maybe finding out what his name is will solve the problem.
The message she sent was a bit too risky.
Could Gu Baixue have guessed this?
If she had to explain it, it wasn’t impossible. After being stimulated, a person could suddenly become alert.
[gbx]: So I’m asking you guys to help me investigate. Let me know if you have any news. But I need to go deal with my own matters first.
[Wang Siyao 9.1]: What’s wrong on your end? What happened?
Bai Cha was slightly silent, then picked up her phone and sent a voice message.
[gbx]: “It’s a long story, and I really don’t have the energy to type. My dad passed away.”
[gbx]: “I’m going to go sort out his belongings. I’ll have to ask you guys to help me investigate first. I’m so tired, and I have a feeling that something might happen to me in the next few days.”
Her voice was hoarse and nasal, completely unrecognizable from her original voice. This was why she dared to use voice messages. Her tone was full of exhaustion, the utter numbness after a series of emotional ups and downs. Bringing up the matter no longer caused her to break down instantly.
“And… besides that ex-boyfriend, there’s another person…”
Bai Cha didn’t send this voice message, choosing to cancel it.
She stared at her phone screen in silence for a long time, finally checking the battery level.
It was enough for her to take a taxi.
Bai Cha then unplugged the charging cable, thanked the staff, and left with her phone.
The roommates in the group chat all comforted her and promised to help her investigate immediately.
Bai Cha said thank you again, hailed a taxi, and got in.
She closed her eyes to rest after getting in the car. Of course, she knew the raincoat man was sitting beside her.
[Ah… suddenly feels like a new chapter has begun, but I don’t know anything]
[It is]
[So she suddenly found four roommates to help? Is the Darling Yuqi thing over?]
[Don’t know… maybe it’s temporarily safe, but what’s the deal with that ex-boyfriend?]
[The streamer is sleeping with her eyes closed again and again and again and again. Seriously, I’m going to cry. Isn’t she afraid of closing her eyes and never waking up again?]
[Maybe she’s not necessarily sleeping. Maybe she’s taking the opportunity to mentally plan the plot. I think she’s quite dedicated to her acting. Only when she’s sleeping does she have time to think about other things, right?]
[The dedication is real. I feel like I’m watching a suspense drama]
Bai Cha certainly knew she was dedicated.
She wasn’t closing her eyes to plan the plot either; she was genuinely taking the opportunity to rest.
Soon, they arrived.
Led by someone, Bai Cha saw Gu Baixue’s father’s belongings.
Among them was a raincoat, black and stained with mud, carefully stored in a vacuum bag.
Ah, so it was acting time again?
But if the father and daughter were to recognize each other, she wouldn’t know anything about Gu Baixue’s interactions with her father when she was little.
Tsk, this game was full of traps.
