Baili Xin took two steps back silently.
Father Fei did not wake up from his sleepwalking. He just turned at the stairs, turned around, and staggered down the stairs again.
This time he headed straight for the gate.
Amid s419m's frightened cry, Baili Xin silently followed behind Fei's father again.
Father Fei walked to the door, stretched out his right hand forward and then slowly pulled it back, making a gesture to open the door.
Perhaps someone walked in while he was sleeping, and the next moment Baili Xin noticed a trace of panic on the expressionless face of Fei's father.
His arms were crossed stiffly in front of him, his back slightly arched, his posture respectful and humble.
Father Fei opened his mouth, which moved slightly, and said something silently.
Baili Xin stared at Fei's father's mouth and tried to understand what he said through limited lip reading, but because Fei's father's mouth was just opening and closing mechanically, he didn't get any useful information from it.
Perhaps the sleeping guest had walked in from outside. Father Fei made a gesture to close the door again, and then walked to the sofa in the hall with a humble attitude.
He was sometimes respectful, sometimes fearful, and spoke cautiously and silently.
What you think about during the day, you dream about at night.
Some scientists say that dreams are the person's reflection of the real world.
Sleepwalking sometimes involves repeating actions that are imprinted in muscle memory, and sometimes involves replaying something that has had a huge impact on the individual.
Others want to do something but dare not do it in real life, and this may also occur during sleepwalking.
Of course, sleepwalking can also result in some bizarre and nonsensical behaviors, but the probability of such occurrence is not very high.
s419m: Who is he talking to? Is it Li Manyu? Judging from her expression, it doesn't seem like it.
If it wasn't Li Manyu, then it must be Fei Yinuo
Baili Xin: What if it's neither? Father Fei was afraid of Fei Yinuo, but it seems that he would not be as afraid of him as he is now.
s419m: Is there a third person
Baili Xin looked at Fei's father thoughtfully. Maybe.
It was unknown what Mr. Fei said to the person on the sofa. Then he walked to the place where the bouquet of roses was placed just now. He took the "rose vase" in his hand and walked to the sofa again.
Father Fei slightly hunched his shoulders and respectfully handed over the vase in his hands.
It should be the other person in the dream who took the vase. Then Father Fei stood up straight, his neck slowly turned in the air, his stiff gaze went all the way from the hall to the stairs, and finally his chin slowly lifted up, as if he was watching someone walking all the way from the hall to upstairs.
Perhaps the person in the dream walked to the third floor, and Father Fei returned to his initial stiff state and walked towards the second floor.
This time he did not give Baili Xin another thrilling surprise attack. After reaching the second floor, he went straight to his bedroom.
Mr. Fei's bedroom was slightly open, and soft, dim light leaked into the corridor from the gap in the door.
Baili Xin followed Fei's father all the way to the bedroom. When Fei's father pushed open the bedroom door, he looked inside and only followed in after making sure that there was no one on the bed.
It seems that Li Manyu is still in Da Zhuang's room and has not come back yet.
After returning to the bedroom, Mr. Fei went to bed obediently, covered himself with the quilt and closed his eyes.
Two minutes later, the sound of Fei's father's steady breathing and light snoring could be heard from the dim room.
On the bedside table on Fei's father's side, there was a dark brown glass medicine bottle and a white plastic medicine bottle. Baili Xin took the medicine bottle and took a look at it in the dim light of the night light.
Melatonin capsules are used to calm the nerves and help with sleep.
The other bottle was a painkiller that contained an addictive ingredient.
Many medicine bottles containing this ingredient are used to relieve severe pain from wounds, and some doctors will prescribe this painkiller to patients after surgery to relieve pain from surgical wounds.
Mr. Fei is drinking this medicine. Is there something wrong with his body
Mrs. Zhang once said that half a year ago, Fei's father fell seriously ill and the family business had to be handed over to Fei Yinuo.
Could it be that Mr. Fei has not yet fully recovered from his serious illness, so he needs painkillers to relieve the pain caused by the illness
The other side of the bed was empty, but there were signs that it had been turned over.
It seems that Li Manyu secretly left the room after Fei's father fell asleep.
Baili Xin was just about to check out Fei's father's bedroom when he heard faint footsteps outside the door.
The footsteps were light, but they were coming towards this side.
He quickly gave up his investigation and used the stealth card just as the owner of the footsteps opened the door.
…
Li Manyu quietly opened the door, and at the moment the door closed, a breeze seemed to blow past Wufeng's ears.
But she didn't care. She just tiptoed into the room, turned around with a satisfied smile on her face, and closed the door.
When the door was closed, Li Manyu muttered softly, "The little wolfdog has good physical strength. I haven't been so happy for a long time."
…
Baili Xin quietly returned to his bedroom on the third floor. When he walked to the bed, the black liquid that should have remained on the sheets disappeared.
The bed was spotless, except for some messy wrinkles...
____________________________
The next day, Baili Xin got up very early.
The sun had just risen outside. When Baili Xin walked to the window and looked out, he found a figure standing in the garden.
The figure was standing near the rose bush where Fei's father picked flowers yesterday. The man had his back to Baili Xin and was standing straight.
He seemed to be aware of Baili Xin's gaze, and his body, which had been kept still, turned back and raised up, accurately meeting Baili Xin's eyes.
The sharp eye blade pierced through the air and went straight into Baili Xin's eyes.
It's Fenuo.
Fino was dressed in all black and looked up at Baili Xin.
Baili Xin discovered that Fei Yinuo seemed to like black clothes very much. From the first time he met him, Fei Yinuo always wore pure black, instead of black and white.
Pure black, black shirt, black tie, black suit, black leather shoes. Apart from this, he couldn't find any other color of clothes on Feynuo.
Fei Yinuo seemed unwilling to look at Baili Xin any longer, and looked away the next second.
Just then there was a knock on the door and a strange voice came: "Master, are you awake?"
Baili Xin had never heard this voice before. He walked over and opened the door, and found that the person who came was a woman who was slightly younger than Mrs. Zhang.
"Master, I'm here to clean the room." The man waved the cleaning tools in his hand as he spoke.
Baili Xin asked tentatively: "Sister Wang?"
The woman's eyes widened in surprise. "Master, you have lost your memory, right? How do you know me?"
Baili Xin explained: "I don't know you. I heard from Mrs. Zhang that the person who cleans my room is called 'Sister Wang', so I just guessed that you are Sister Wang."
Sister Wang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I am Sister Wang."
The woman carefully looked at Baili Xin from head to toe, "Master, I'm glad to see that you are okay."
She wiped her eyes and said, "I didn't expect to see you again. It's great."
Sister Wang seemed to have a closer relationship with the original owner than Sister Zhang. Baili Xin made room for Sister Wang and motioned for her to come in.
The woman was very hardworking. As soon as she entered the bedroom, she went to the bed, opened the curtains and opened the window for ventilation.
The bright sunshine outside instantly shone into the bedroom. Baili Xin was stung by the bright sunshine and instinctively squinted his eyes.
By the time he got used to the brightness, Sister Wang had already started wiping the windowsill.
Baili Xin walked to Sister Wang's side, and the tall black figure outside the window had disappeared.
"Sister Wang," Baili Xin pointed at the roses outside, "Who planted this rose garden?"
Sister Wang wiped the windowsill without stopping. She took a moment to glance at the rose garden and said, "That was planted by Mr. Fei because his wife likes roses."
"Ma'am, you mean my mother?"
Sister Wang: "Of course, besides your mother, who else is the lady of this family?"
"If you ask me, your mother really married the right person. When we servants chat privately, we are all very envious of your mother."
"Mr. Fei dug up a garden to please his wife and planted roses for her."
"Not only that, Mr. Fei would pick some roses himself and put them in a vase from time to time to surprise his wife."
Baili Xin looked at Sister Wang who knew everything and said, "What kind of person is Mr. Fei?"
"Although Mr. Fei is over 50 years old, he doesn't look his age at all. He looks like he's in his early 40s. He is not only good-looking, but also gentle and elegant. He is also very rich. Most importantly, Mr. Fei loves his wife very much."
"Mr. Fei is very caring towards us workers. He pays us more than others and doesn't ask us to do much work. Other servants usually work 24 hours a day, but Mr. Fei doesn't. He arranges an eight-hour shift for us and lets us go home at 5 p.m."
"In short, we often lament that there is such a perfect man as Mr. Fei in the world."
Baili Xin: "What kind of person is Li Manyu... I mean my mother?"
Sister Wang put down the rag in her hand, held her chin with one hand, and said seriously without hesitation: "Madam, she is a great beauty."
"She is very beautiful. As the saying goes, heroes are paired with beauties since ancient times. That's why she married Mr. Fei. The two of them are a perfect match made in heaven."
"Haha," Baili Xin laughed twice, "Sister Wang, why do you only say nice things? Are Mr. Fei and my mother really as good as you say? Don't lie to me."
"Why would I lie to you? Everything I said is true." Sister Wang said seriously, "If you don't believe me, you can ask anyone. Everyone says the same thing. Besides, Mr. Fei pays me a salary, and Madam is the mistress of this family. You are also Madam's son. I will definitely not say anything bad in front of you. If Madam and Mr. Fei hear about it, won't I lose such a good job?"
"I'm not stupid." Sister Wang lowered her head and muttered softly, "I can still tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal."
"What about Fenuo? What kind of person is he? Although I have lost my memory and don't remember anything, I can see that he doesn't like me very much."
Sister Wang then raised her head and said, "Well, I can understand this."
Baili Xin: "What do you mean?"
Sister Wang, who was always straightforward, was stuck at this moment. She bit her lip and hesitated, "Um, this, that... That is, Madam and Mr. Fei are in true love, but this true love is sometimes based on the sacrifice of others. When someone sacrifices, someone gets hurt. You understand this, right, Master?"
Baili Xin raised an eyebrow: "Are you saying that Li Man... my mother is a mistress?"
Sister Wang blushed in embarrassment, but still nodded honestly.
s419m: Wow! I see, I understand everything!
I wondered how Li Manyu could seduce Dazhuang so easily. It turned out that she was a habitual offender. She seduced Fei's father while his and his mother were still married, which led to their divorce. The family of the original wife fell apart because of Li Manyu's intervention. The original wife left and the mistress took over. It would be strange if Fei Yinuo didn't hate her.
No wonder after Fei Yinuo took over the company, Fei's father and Li Manyu's attitude towards Fei Yinuo was so subtle. How could it not be subtle? Fei Yinuo hated them both!
The original owner was the child of a mistress, so of course Fei Yinuo hated the original owner!
Damn, I was really deceived by Li Manyu, my host. Although she was afraid when I went to the police station to pick you up, she gave me a very gentle and generous feeling. I thought she was a decent person, but I didn't expect that you can only know her face but not her heart. She hides so deeply.
But we can't just scold her, Fei's father is not a good person either. What handsome and rich, what elegant and perfect, if he is so perfect, how could he cheat at such an old age? He is already half a century old, and he can still do such a thing, bah!
One is fickle, the other has a beastly heart. What a perfect match!
I guess the original owner was driven away by Fei Yinuo. After all, Fei Yinuo is in charge of the family now, and Fei's father and Li Manyu dare not say anything no matter what he thinks.
But what does this have to do with the ghost by the window and the secret of this room? Baili Xin replied in his mind, why were Li Manyu and Father Fei scared when they saw me at the police station
And your speculation just now is inconsistent. If the original owner was really driven away by Fei Yinuo, why did Fei's father and Li Manyu rush to the police station to bring me back if they were afraid of offending Fei Yinuo? Aren't they afraid of making Fei Yinuo even angrier
s419m: Because they had no other choice. You had already gone to the police station, and it was the police who called them. They were such prominent figures, could they say they didn't care about their son's life or death? They just left you at the police station and ignored you? How embarrassing it would be if the news got out? They took you back because of pressure and public opinion.
I guess Fei Yinuo treats you coldly because he knows he can't get rid of you in a short time.
Tsk tsk tsk, Fei Yinuo is seeking revenge. He has endured for so many years, and now that he is in power, he is taking revenge on all those who have hurt him.
The ghost who knocks on your door in the middle of the night and hurts you must be Fei Yinuo, he is the evil ghost.
And the man who bullied the original owner through the door might also be Fei Yinuo.
And doesn’t Feinuo have the key to the next room
This is the truth about the black shadow and the secret of this family, host!
Holy shit, I actually figured it out, I'm so awesome, host, please praise me!
… Baili Xin pinched his chin and thought, No, there must be some clues and information missing. If so, it can't explain why Father Fei and Li Manyu were terrified of me when they saw me in the police station.
s419m: This is easy to explain.
You think, Mr. Fei and Li Manyu must know that you were driven away by Fei Yinuo, right? The police called them to ask them to come and claim you. They were not afraid of you, but of Fei Yinuo's reaction after they brought you home.
Didn't Fei's father fall ill half a year ago? This illness now seemed very strange, maybe it was Fei Yinuo who caused it.
Baili Xin looked up at Sister Wang: "Sister Wang, I heard from Sister Zhang that Mr. Fei had a serious illness half a year ago. Do you know what the illness was?"
Sister Wang: "I know this. I heard about it from Sister Zhang. Mr. Fei is usually too busy with work. That night, he suddenly coughed up blood and passed out while working late at night. After diagnosis, he was diagnosed with sudden cor pulmonale."
Baili Xin: "Cor pulmonale? This disease should be pulmonary heart disease, right? Mr. Fei has heart disease?"
Sister Wang shook her head: "No, Mr. Fei is usually very healthy. But I heard that it was because Mr. Fei had been working overtime late at night during that period, and he was overworked, which led to the development of cor pulmonale."
"Did you hear it from Aunt Zhang?" Baili Xin caught the key words in Sister Wang's words, "Why did you hear it from Aunt Zhang? How did Aunt Zhang know so much? Didn't she get off work at the same time as you guys?"
Sister Wang waved her hand and said, "Mrs. Zhang is different from us. She is an old lady in this family. She lives in this house, and Mrs. Zhang usually works the night shift, so she stays here at night. Mr. Fei is very busy at work, and he needs someone to serve tea and water. Mr. Fei doesn't want his wife to work so hard, so he keeps Mrs. Zhang here."
Baili Xin: "..."
Mrs. Zhang is indeed different from Sister Wang.
Mrs. Zhang, who works at night in this house, obviously knows much more than people like Sister Wang who work the day shift.
"Master," Sister Wang hesitated for two seconds but still advised warmly, "This family is different now. Ever since Mr. Fei got sick, the eldest master has been the one who speaks in the family. You should bow your head in front of the eldest master in the future, and don't provoke him again."
"I shouldn't have said these words, but I'm worried when I see you look confused," Sister Wang grabbed Baili Xin's hand, "I'm a servant, I don't have much education, but I also know one thing."
"When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head."
"Living under someone else's roof is just like that. There's nothing shameful about it."
Baili Xin looked at Sister Wang who was worried, "Did I often provoke Fei Yinuo in the past? How did I provoke him?"
Sister Wang: "Even though you know he hates you, you still deliberately get in front of him to show your presence."
"You had to follow the young master like a little dog no matter what he wanted to do. There were many times when I had to watch the young master get scared."
"For example, the young master went to play golf, and you don't know how to play, but you insisted on following him."
"Another time, you insisted on riding a horse, and the horse got scared and rushed around, almost throwing you off its back. Look at you, you almost got yourself killed and took the young master with you. The horse you were riding almost hit the young master. If he hadn't been quick to stop the horse, both of you would have had to stay in bed for several months!"
"What can I say, young master? You should be considerate of the eldest young master and stop being so willful." Sister Wang sighed. "A good family has been torn apart. He used to be a favored child of heaven, so naturally he is angry and resentful. Now the eldest young master has the final say in the family. If you continue to be so willful, Madam and Mr. Fei will not protect and pamper you as much as before."
Baili Xin suddenly raised his eyelids: "What did you say? Li, my mother and Mr. Fei used to spoil me?"
Sister Wang's eyes widened. "Of course, you are the Madam's biological son. Mr. Fei loves your mother so much, and of course they will give you all the good things. When you first came home, Mr. Fei was very nice to you. There were some things that the eldest master didn't have, so Mr. Fei gave them to you first after he got them, fearing that you would feel unfamiliar when you first came to this family."
Baili Xin's eyes flickered, and he turned his gaze to the flowerbed outside, where he saw a gardener pruning branches. "Sister Wang, did I like roses before?"
"Hey, you don't even remember your own preferences?" Sister Wang was a little surprised, but she still answered without hesitation, "You don't like roses, or rather, you seem to hate roses."
Prisin: "How do you know I hate roses?"
Sister Wang scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "Because one time I didn't know and accidentally brought the vase of roses that was sent to the lady's room to your room. As a result, you got very angry when you saw the roses and said that you hated roses the most. I will never forget it."
"Oh, I'm so sorry," Baili Xin closed her eyelids slightly, half covering her eyes that were twinkling with stars, "I must have lost control of my emotions at the time, that's why I got so angry, I didn't scare you, did I?"
Sister Wang didn't expect to receive an apology from the young master after such a long time. She laughed and shook her head, "It was my fault in the first place. I put the things in the wrong place first. If anyone wants to apologize, it should be me who should apologize to you, young master. Why are you apologizing to me instead?"
"There's one more thing I'm curious about, Sister Wang," Baili Xin took the initiative to bring the topic back on track, "I heard Sister Zhang briefly mention that the Fei family's business didn't seem to be very successful in the beginning. It was only after Li Manyu married into the Fei family that the Fei family's business made rapid progress."
"How did your career suddenly get better at that time? Do you know about this?"
