Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day. 🙂
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Chp9. part2
The veteran officer chuckled to himself. When the captain looked at him, his expression immediately turned serious. “Captain, according to my analysis, the premonition of the building collapsing was probably a coincidence. I observed carefully just now, when Xiao Wang attacked, Tong Jia was completely unprepared. If she had a super-strong sixth sense, she wouldn’t have been so easily subdued, and wouldn’t have found an opportunity to retaliate.”
The hip-hop young man, Xiao Wang, nodded in agreement. “My sudden attack caught her off guard, instinctive reactions are usually the most genuine.”
The captain lowered his eyes in deep thought, then looked up after a moment. “She said a female colleague called the operator to report it. Who was that person?”
Early spring, the weather was still chilly, a cool breeze blowing.
Yun Xin bought a large bag of snacks at the small supermarket next to her rented apartment. On her way home, she saw a familiar figure standing in front of her apartment complex.
Meanwhile, the other person saw her too.
“Want to chat?” Tong Jia said.
It sounded like a question, but it left no room for refusal. Yun Xin silently followed.
When Tong Jia found a bench in a nearby park and sat down, she took a can of coffee out of her bag. “Want some?”
Tong Jia silently took it and sat down at one end of the bench.
Yun Xin opened a bottle of milk tea for herself and sat down at the other end of the bench.
“The boss has been arrested,” Tong Jia told Yun Xin. “He might be sentenced, and might not get out for over ten years.”
Having read the police report on the cause of the accident, Yun Xin said, “He deserves it.”
It’s said that professionals who reviewed the architectural plans predicted the building would collapse sooner or later.
To save money, they tampered with the construction, causing so many deaths. If the boss doesn’t go to jail, who will?
“When I was in the police station, many people came to see me. Some said they thanked me for saving them and gave me a check as a reward. Others offered me a new job-high pay, easy work, close to home, no overtime, a free luxury car upon joining, and an apartment after ten years. Besides that, quite a few reporters wanted to interview me,” Tong Jia added.
“That’s great,” Yun Xin congratulated her. “Fame, money, a new job- you have it all at once. It wasn’t for nothing that you risked breaking the law by making a false police report.”
Tong Jia remained silent.
After leaving the police station, the first thing she did was go home and take a shower, and the second was to find Yun Xin. She even called the manager to ask for the address Yun Xin had filled out when she joined the company.
Luckily, the paper document was buried in the building collapse, but the manager had an electronic copy on his home computer; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to find Yun Xin…
“Speak, what do you want?” Yun Xin didn’t want to sit there in the cold wind too long and encouraged her to speak.
So Tong Jia asked directly, “From beginning to end, were you just acting?”
For a moment, the air seemed to fall silent.
Yun Xin paused. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
“It wasn’t me who could foresee danger, it was you.” Tong Jia was furious at the mention of this. “My ability ‘Insight’ is to see through lies and perceive the truth of events. In other words, my subconscious didn’t sense danger, but rather judged that what you said was true, which is why I was afraid.”
“It was the same with Wang Ze, and it was the same with the hotel collapse. You deliberately acted very anxious in front of me, and I believed you, even going so far as to make a false police report.”
“So in the end, I was just a tool for calling the police?”
Tong Jia felt increasingly aggrieved.
“How can this be called acting?” Yun Xin knew she couldn’t hide it anymore when she heard the words “ability,” “Insight,” and “perceiving the truth of events.”
She stopped denying it, instead saying, “People naturally have many faces. One face for strangers, another for familiar people. One face for friends, another for family. One face when interacting with others, another when alone.”
“In an emergency, knowing which face to use to get by, you’ll unconsciously switch. It’s not deliberate deception, just a survival instinct.”
Tong Jia, who had just put on a show for the police to regain her freedom as quickly as possible, was speechless.
She couldn’t help but wonder- if she scolded Yun Xin now, would she be scolding herself too?
“Besides, I didn’t expect you to make a false police report. I just wanted to call you out and find a legitimate reason to call the police…” Yun Xin looked innocent.
Tong Jia, “???”
The culprit was me?
Tong Jia calmed herself for a moment, then asked, “After the hotel building collapsed, my eyes seem to have developed problems. I occasionally see strange things. What about you? Do you have similar symptoms?”
She was referring to the transparent panel.
Because she couldn’t easily mention it to others, she spoke vaguely.
Yun Xin replied, “I’ve been like that before. But it’s okay, just pretend you can’t see it, and life goes on as usual.”
Tong Jia’s anger, which had just subsided, flared up again. She said aggressively, “If you keep talking like this, I’ll only give you a third of the reward I was originally planning to split!”
They were both ordinary workers, originally, they would have received 250,000 yuan split, but because she had angered her, it instantly shrank to 170,000 yuan. Wouldn’t the other party be heartbroken if they knew?
Tong Jia was just feeling a sense of satisfaction at her successful prank when Yun Xin said, “You can keep it all for yourself. I inherited a fortune of hundreds of millions; I don’t need this.”
Tong Jia, “…”
Forget it, just end this world.
