Extreme Vigilance
Chapter 35 - 35 35th section Difficult to distinguish between true and false
?35: 35th section: Difficult to distinguish between true and false 35: 35th section: Difficult to distinguish between true and false Hu Jiasheng, I’ve been waiting for your arrival!
With that crisp and sharp voice echoing, “Manager Song” suddenly lunged at Xun Jiasheng.
Xun Jiasheng was frozen in fear.
When he heard the name “Hu Jiasheng”, he thought the ghost woman had mispronounced his family name.
He didn’t realize the ghost was attacking him until he saw “Manager Song” lunging at him.
He didn’t take anything from the ghost woman’s household!
On the contrary, he had always been protecting the ghost woman, doing everything he could to ease her troubles.
He never thought that she would suddenly attack him, and that he would be her target.
The ghost woman was waiting for him?
Why was she waiting for him?
Had she been playing the song “When Will You Return?” all these years, just waiting for his arrival?
It wasn’t until he was knocked down by “Manager Song” and saw her wrathful hand reaching for his neck, that Xun Jiasheng realized what was happening in this life or death situation.
He quickly grabbed “Manager Song’s” hands and struggled, “Butterfly, you’ve got the wrong person, I am Xun Jiasheng.”
The crowd was stunned by the bizarre scene before them.
Initially shocked, they then saw Xun Jiasheng in danger and subconsciously stepped forward.
After all, they were all in the same boat.
Qi Xin suddenly said, “The ghost woman needs to reincarnate.
She must resolve old grudges.
We should hear her out.”
The crowd was stunned.
They saw Xun Jiasheng forcefully holding “Manager Song’s” hands.
Although the situation was dangerous, he wasn’t in immediate danger of losing his life, so they all hesitated.
Sweat was pouring from Xun Jiasheng’s forehead, and his face was flushed with effort.
He realized that he had offended Qi Xin before, and now Qi Xin was kicking him when he’s down.
But at this moment, he didn’t have the energy to hold a grudge.
“Butterfly, I am Xun Jiasheng, look closely, I am Xun Jiasheng, not your husband!”
“You are Xun Jiasheng, but you are also Hu Jiasheng!”
“Manager Song’s” eyes shone brightly, as if she could see through Xun Jiasheng’s flesh and soul, “The moment you stepped in here, I knew you were my husband!”
For the first time, Xun Jiasheng felt the pain of being targeted by a ghost woman.
He felt that her power was growing stronger.
He was struggling to hold her hands apart and couldn’t speak anymore.
Sweat was pouring down “Manager Song’s” forehead.
She cackled, “Do you see?
These are the same drops of water from when I was drowned.”
“I didn’t…
harm you.” Xun Jiasheng managed to croak out.
The people watching were also confused.
Even if Xun Jiasheng really was Miss Butterfly’s husband, he just disappeared.
There was no reason for Miss Butterfly to seek revenge on her husband.
“Manager Song’s” explanation enlightened them.
“Do you really think I don’t know?
You have always felt guilty towards me and wanted to get rid of me, but you didn’t want the world to see you as a fickle person.
You used to sweetly call me ‘little Butterfly’ and spoil me.
You even vowed under the bright moon that we would grow old together and never part.
But you still changed, you wanted to survive, so you instigated me to sell myself to that big shot.
After I had sacrificed myself for you, you felt that I was dirty and unworthy of you.
Although you left me an address, it was all pretense.
You never thought that I would remember our vows and come looking for you one day.
You despised me and wanted to leave me, but you feared my entanglement.
You were afraid that if you left me, and if I came looking for you again, it would make you even more uncomfortable.
So, you thought of a murderous one-off solution.
You intentionally stained the bed with blood and pretended to disappear.
You knew that those foolish villagers would assume I had committed adultery and harmed my own husband, and you wanted me dead!”
“Manager Song’s” words tumbled out rapidly, without pause.
She had undoubtedly turned over this thought in her mind many times over the years.
Upon hearing this, the crowd felt a chilling disgust – Xun Jiasheng was detestable enough as it was, let alone his previous life.
Tie Zheng, seeing Xun Jiasheng going white-eyed and gasping for breath under the ghost woman’s strangulation, hesitated and said, “Miss Butterfly, your husband Hu Jiasheng is despicable, but we are not entirely sure if President Xun is the reincarnate of your husband, are we?”
“There’s no need for certainty.” The one who spoke was actually Jin Xin, who crossed his arms with deep disgust in his eyes.
“People like him are harmful to others no matter who they are.
Miss Butterfly is just executing justice on behalf of the heavens!”
“Well said.” Qi Xin clapped his hands and said, “I fully agree with President Jin.
Besides…
if we want to leave this place, should we not let Miss Butterfly fulfill her wish?”
His words were extremely persuasive, and Feng Jingye and Zhou Dewei, who had been hesitating, did not move anymore.
Hai Mingzhu thought of Shen Yue’s comments about how despicable Xun Jiasheng was and felt that what Jin Xin and Qi Xin said made a lot of sense – why keep a person like that alive just to waste resources?
But watching Xun Jiasheng being choked by the ghost woman made her feel uncomfortable.
She decided to turn to Shen Yue for advice, “Advisor Shen, what do you think?”
Shen Yue had been frowning all this while.
Upon hearing this, he stepped forward as if preparing to act.
Suddenly, Xun Jiasheng struggled and called out, “Little Butterfly.”
Upon hearing this, “Manager Song’s” eyes flickered, seemingly touched by the familiar term of endearment.
Her grip on Xun Jiasheng’s neck loosened a bit, and seizing this rare opportunity, Xun Jiasheng, with tears streaming down his face, choked out, “Little Butterfly, I know I’ve wronged you.”
“Manager Song’s” grip loosened somewhat more, her voice still frosty, “You now know that you have wronged me?” Sёar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
“It’s all my fault.”
Tears streamed down “Xun Jiasheng’s” face like a faucet turned on full blast.
“I’m not human, I’m a beast!
For my own life, I shouldn’t have asked you to sacrifice yourself.
When you sacrificed yourself for me, I was for a while unable to accept it and blamed you for not maintaining your chastity.
When you came to find me after much hardship, I was truly afraid.
I was not afraid of the rumors and slander, but because I knew I wasn’t worthy of being with you.
I was afraid you would see through my despicable nature and then leave me.”
The hall was filled with a cold, eerie wind.
The singing had stopped, and “Xun Jiasheng’s” voice of repentance echoed through the hall, astonishing everyone.
Most of the people in the hall had already accepted that Xun Jiasheng was the reincarnation of Hu Jiasheng, Miss Butterfly’s husband.
But witnessing Xun Jiasheng’s moment of repentance and transformation still took them by surprise.
“Manager Song” gritted her teeth and said, “Then why did you harm me?”
“I had no choice, listen to me!”
As Xun Jiasheng spoke, he felt the hand that was strangling his neck loosening its grip.
All at once, he pushed “Manager Song” away and, rolling and crawling to one side, he croaked out, “Hold her down!
She’s a vengeful, venomous woman.
Even if I die, none of you will be spared!”
“Manager Song” was furious.
She hadn’t expected Xun Jiasheng to be so cunning.
As she regained her footing and was about to pounce on Xun Jiasheng again, Shen Yue suddenly stepped forward and pressed a button on his phone aimed at “Manager Song’s” temple.
“Manager Song” paused for a moment, her eyes rolled back, and she slowly collapsed.
The next moment, a shrill scream came from outside the hall.
