CHAPTER 342: CHAPTER 342: I LOVE YOU (116)

***

In the morning when Gu Lili woke up, it was already bright outside.

She opened her eyes and the lingering scenes flashed through her mind, instantly her face turned pale.

But as she sat up, she was taken aback.

Long Yubei was sleeping on the sofa, and her clothes were intact.

Was it all a dream?

Her body didn’t feel any discomfort.

There was no pain in her waist or legs.

Gu Lili was somewhat unable to distinguish between reality and her dreams.

"Long Yubei."

"Hmm?"

"Did you climb into my bed last night?"

Long Yubei sat up and looked at her, "Do you want me to climb into your bed? I can do it right now."

Gu Lili frowned, she had such a dream last night?

She dreamed he was so gentle, and she even called him husband, it seems it really was a dream.

"What’s with the blush? Could it be you dreamed of us having a wild time?"

She gave him a cold look, denying it, "Certainly not."

Long Yubei’s mouth curved slightly upwards, "It’s good that you didn’t, but I’m available anytime if you need."

"I don’t need it..."

She put on her slippers and went to wash up.

Long Yubei sat there, in a very good mood.

While Gu Lili was washing up, those scenes kept revolving in her mind.

The more she thought, the more she felt indeed she was a woman who had been without a man for a while and hence, started having such dreams.

...

After breakfast, the sun came out, and the two sat in the courtyard basking in the sun.

Basking in the sun during winter really made one feel lazy.

Gu Lili lay in the chair looking at the news on her phone, the headline news recently was about the collapse of the newly built Chunjiang Bridge in City A.

Initially, she thought it was just shoddy construction, but after reading the news content, Gu Lili found it very suspicious.

Especially when some parents were crying at the bridge, convinced that their children were used as live stakes.

The so-called live stakes phrase means a tradition before construction, which involves burying two children alive within the project to ensure its successful completion.

This is because they fear disrupting the fengshui and angering the dead souls of the area, so they use such methods to suppress evil.

"Look at this." Gu Lili handed her phone to Long Yubei.

After seeing it, Long Yubei remained calm, "I am aware of this tradition."

"Did your group also do this when you were investing in developing commercial housing?"

"No, we didn’t. That’s too cruel."

"I’m going to look at this Chunjiang Bridge, do you want to come with? If you don’t go, just stay at home."

"What are you going for?"

"To see if it really was live staking." Gu Lili was furious about such acts. "If it really was so, I want to ask the person responsible why he didn’t bury his own child there."

"I’ll go with you, but I won’t leave the car, otherwise, it would be problematic if it hits the news."

"You stay at home."

Gu Lili didn’t let him come, she went alone.

At the site of the bridge collapse, many journalists and members of the public were gathered, with heart-wrenching cries of screaming, obviously the children’s parents.

Gu Lili felt that since the parents believed their children were used as live stakes, there must be evidence, it couldn’t be a wild guess.

She put on a mask and squeezed into the crowd.

A large number of police had arrived to maintain order among the crowd.

Gu Lili saw one of the children’s mothers cry until she fainted, and another had a hoarse voice, she felt compelled that she must take this matter into her own hands!

She abruptly took off her mask from her face and shouted loudly, "Quiet down!"

Everyone simultaneously looked at her.

Gu Lili walked further inside, the officers saw her but did not stop her.
