I was attacked after my memory loss
Chapter 9
Which is worse, public opinion or haunting?
The old house is not in the city center, and it was already late when Cheng Xi arrived at the door.
Once inside the gate, everything remains the same.
The ivy almost covered the south wall of the small western building; in the garden full of flowers, there are still swings that he played on when he was a child.
The familiar yet unfamiliar scene in front of him made Cheng Xi feel mixed feelings.
Uncle Qin told him that he went to pay homage to his father that day, and when he went back, he went the wrong way, and was hit by an empty car that rushed out halfway and caused a car accident.
Cheng Xi felt very strange, why did he suddenly go to a completely strange road?
According to the monitoring screen of the cemetery, he didn't look very good when he entered the cemetery. After staying in the cemetery for a while, he went to another road in a daze...
What could distract him so much?And it happened to be able to match the time with the person who ambushed him...
Hiss—the head hurts again.
Cheng Xi rubbed his temples.Then open the door inside.
Everything in the house has not been changed, and it is still decorated when my father was alive.
His room is in the middle of the corridor on the right side of the second floor, and the left side of the stairs should be the study, guest room and reception room.
Originally, he wanted to go back to his room directly, but Cheng Xi wanted to go to the other side of the stairs to have a look.
The floor is covered with soft carpet, so you can't hear the sound when you walk on it.In addition, in the dead of night, the housekeepers and servants in the house must have fallen asleep, so the surrounding area became even quieter.
In the huge house, it seemed that he was the only one.
The night wind blows the milky white lace curtains, and under the moonlight, the black shadows fluctuate and sway on the carpet, as if the soul living in the old house occasionally comes out to let the wind out.
Cheng Xi didn't go to the study, but came to the door of the next guest room first.
Generally speaking, there are no guests at home, so the guest rooms are generally vacant, and the door facilities should not be old.
But on the facade of this room, Cheng Xi found that there was a mark that had been "carved" under the door.
It is said to be "carving", but it is actually graffiti by children. They use a carving knife to draw the shape of animals on the door panel one by one, and add a few illogical lines.
And on this "painting", there are two villains holding hands.
Cheng Xi guessed that he probably did it himself.
The room was not locked, and Cheng Xi easily pushed the door open and entered.
If it is true as what Uncle Qin said, there will be people around the house who will take care of it regularly, even the guest rooms will be clean.
What surprised him was that this room looked too clean, right?
Compared with his room, the guest room was much smaller, but it was unconventional and tidy. Even the quilt on the bed was folded squarely.
In addition to a small lamp on the desk, there are several small notes pressed under the glass.
The handwriting on the note is vigorous and powerful, and it only records the owner's daily work and rest time.
When he saw the column [Get up at five o'clock every morning], Cheng Xi was sure that this was definitely not him.
On the left side of the desk is a large bookcase with various types of books, most of which are related to finance.Take out a copy at random and open it, and you can see the notes carefully made by the owner of the handwriting.
After probably visiting here, Cheng Xi was going to put the book back to its original place.
But when I put the book down, I didn't hold it firmly, and the book fell to the ground, and a photo fell out at the same time.
"This is……"
Cheng Xi frowned and picked it up to examine it carefully.
The person in the photo is exactly him when he was a child.
Seven or eight years old, wearing cartoon denim overalls sitting on a swing in the garden, his hair was messed up by the wind, and he smiled brightly at the camera.
And behind him, there is another child helping to push the swing.
It's just that the position of the child's face was cut off with scissors, leaving a hole.
Not only that, but the entire photo was torn up and glued together with scotch tape.
Seeing this, Cheng Xi inexplicably felt his eye sockets sour, and his headache hit him again.
"Mr. Cheng, are you back?"
Suddenly, the voice at the door pulled him out of his negative emotions.It turned out that Aunt Wang, who had been working in the old house, came up to check when she heard something going on upstairs, only to find out that it was Cheng Xi who had returned.
"Oh...it's me. I want to ask you a question, the one who lives here...forget it."
I wanted to ask who lived here before, but Cheng Xi subconsciously felt that it would be better not to ask, so he stopped the car.
Aunt Wang saw that he was not in the right condition, so she asked concerned: "Mr. Cheng, do you want to invite the doctor to come and take a look?"
"I am fine."
Cheng Xi hasn't reached the point where she needs to see a doctor, but she always feels strange in her heart.
Since moving back, some things in the old house occasionally remind him of something.But the memories are too fragmented to be connected at all, so Cheng Xi can only treat them as invalid information.
And there is a very strange thing, that is, Cheng Xi has always felt that someone has been watching him secretly these days.He was not sure, but this feeling was always with him.
All these things made Cheng Xi want to move back to his previous residence the next day.
Unexpectedly, the next morning, he received several messages from Xu Xingzhi.
[Xi Ge, I'm sorry, woo woo woo, I was really wrong! ! 】
[I really didn't expect things to turn out like this]
[It's my fault that I didn't think clearly and hurt you, don't ignore me, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Cheng Xi was at a loss.
He didn't understand what was going on until he saw a breaking news on the Internet titled "Famous CEO cheated on popular actor Xu Xingzhi".
This writer is a bit level, obviously there is only one photo of them having dinner together, but he said it as if he had made Xu Xingzhi's unspoken rules hundreds of times.
As soon as the news came out, Xu Xingzhi's fans were the first to get angry.
"What's the matter with that boss? He's already getting married and he dragged us Xing Xing out to have dinner alone. What's his intention?"
"Choose such a place, he is not afraid of being photographed as our star!"
"Does his fiancee know? Don't make us Xing Xing do three?"
There are tens of thousands of similar comments.
But not long after the news came out, Xu Xingzhi took the initiative to refute the rumors.
[We just went out for dinner among friends, not what everyone thinks.Please also give us a little more personal space, thank you. 】
After Xu Xingzhi personally denied it, the fans calmed down.
"Wuuuuuuu Xing Xingxing said we are friends and we believe it!"
"Xing Xing said that he and Mr. Cheng are just friends, please don't speculate and take care of yourself, thank you."
"I'm □□, actually, I think Xing Xing and Cheng Xi are a good match..."
The last comment is outrageous, and what is even more frightening is that there are hundreds of comments below that are all "it's over, I actually think so".
Leaving aside this wave of unexpected developments, what made Cheng Xi even more troublesome was that after the relationship between him and Xu Xingzhi was clarified, the public's attention actually turned to Lin Ke.
[The identity of the fiancee of the president of Cheng's Group is a mystery, is there really someone? 】
The topic intensified, and it directly involved whether Cheng Xi deliberately fabricated a single persona, but in fact there was no such thing as a fiancée.
This is the first time Cheng Xi has encountered such a public opinion turmoil.
In fact, if you want to solve it, it is very simple.As long as he and Lin Ke perform publicly to prove that their relationship does exist, the public opinion will soon dissipate.
but……
"Uncle Qin, it's me."
"Hey, you finally answered the phone. Have you read the morning news? Should I contact Mr. Lin now and ask him..."
"no need."
"what?"
Cheng Xi leaned against the French window, looking into the distance thoughtfully.
"Don't drag him in."
Uncle Qin asked anxiously: "Why? We only need Mr. Lin..."
"Uncle Qin," Cheng Xi interrupted him, "my engagement with Lin Ke is fake, right?"
"Yes but……!"
"Then what was said on the Internet is also true, maybe I did something wrong in the past, and now I should be responsible for it, and I can't pull him out to give me a back."
It was the first time Uncle Qin heard Cheng Xi say that, and he was filled with emotion for a while.I don't know if it's because of Cheng Xi's memory loss, or if Cheng Xi is really different from before in some aspects.
But the truth is not as simple as Cheng Xi thought.
Uncle Qin: "Mr. Cheng, what are you going to do?"
"Do what you have to do."
Cheng Xi's eyes gradually turned cold when he thought of the news and what happened last night.
"Also, find out who spread the news, I will not let him go."
This news made a lot of noise on the Internet, and Lin Ke must have known about it.If this matter is implemented on his head, although it will not cause a lot of losses, it will also bring a certain degree of negative impact on the company.
But seeing that there was no message from him on the phone, Cheng Xi smiled self-deprecatingly.
It was true that he did not do well yesterday, and he lost his temper at Lin Ke for no reason.He has no position to blame Lin Ke for not accepting his help, and it is understandable for Lin Ke to turn his back on him now.
He himself didn't understand why he seemed to be a different person when he met Lin Ke.
Because of this unexpected incident, Cheng Xi's "moving plan" was delayed for another day.
As a result, at night, something strange appeared in the house again.
The Cheng family's house is very old, so there is no bathroom on the second floor, so if you want to wash up, you have to go to the first floor.
It was late at night and everyone was resting, so a few small lights were turned on in the whole house.
The dim warm light elongated the shadows of the objects in the room, as if the black and enchanting "hands" "flicked" Cheng Xi who was going upstairs one by one.
While wiping her hair with a towel, Cheng Xi prepared to turn back to her room.
But when he stepped on the last step, the lights in the entire corridor suddenly flickered.
"Ok?"
Cheng Xi looked up and found that there was nothing wrong with the light, it seemed that there was only a small problem with the wiring.
But in the next second, Cheng Xi caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye, and suddenly there was a piece of darkness on the corridor over the study.
It wasn't that the light in the corridor over there was broken, but it was more like a room suddenly turned off the light, so the surroundings returned to the previous light again.
But... he was the only one living on the entire second floor.
In an instant, Cheng Xi's goosebumps popped up.
Is it my father's former study?
But just now he didn't see any servants and aunts coming out of it.
Could it be... a guest room?
The photo of the child without a face suddenly appeared in front of Cheng Xi's eyes.
Cheng Xi was so shocked that he didn't dare to move at all.
And just when he was about to call the security guard, a cluster of sparks suddenly lit up outside the floor-to-ceiling window in front of him!
The old house is not in the city center, and it was already late when Cheng Xi arrived at the door.
Once inside the gate, everything remains the same.
The ivy almost covered the south wall of the small western building; in the garden full of flowers, there are still swings that he played on when he was a child.
