Chapter 351: Chapter 287: Pleading (4400 words)_3

And if a completely unrelated third party were to look at the situation, they would think both parties were at fault, both deserving of their fates. Some people with more extreme views might even blame all the wrongdoing on Bao Jie, simply because she was “asking for it.”

However, for Bao Jie, she only had one sentence to say to Zhou Jiajie, which was “Every cause has its effect, your retribution is me.”

Eventually, Yan Junze broke the silence, “Let’s go back. Your son should be growing up now. I believe he will surely pay back this debt of affection; you should believe in him too.”

The couple outside the door were so angry they were speechless.

Yan Junze added, “I’ll repeat what I said. Go back and tell him, first let go, then accept. Captain Wang, could you please close the door for me? Thank you.”

Wang Tao immediately shut the door from the outside.

Zhou Guhua and his spouse did not linger any longer. They turned around and left with gloomy faces.

Yuan Lison escorted them to their car but did not know what to say, as after all, it was their family affair.

Outside of Tianmeng University, in the luxurious rental apartment of a certain community.

Relatives of the Zhou family were sitting in groups outside the living room. These relatives were very close to Zhou Guhua and Zhou Jiajie, which was why they had been waiting here all this time.

However, even though they were sitting in the living room, these people occasionally let out a whiff of fear, casting glances towards the bedroom. After shivering from the chill, they would then look away and slightly bow their heads.

The whole room was filled with a chilling coldness as if a draft of cold air blew in from an unknown place, finding its way under everyone’s collars no matter how many layers of clothing they wore.

A slightly braver man went to stand at the entrance to the corridor leading to the bedroom and listened for a moment. He came back shaking his head, saying, “There’s no sound from inside, Jiajie must be asleep.”

“Mhm, he should be tired,” a middle-aged woman nodded in agreement.

However, barely had her words fallen when a scream of uncontrollable terror emitted from the bedroom. The voice was hoarse, feeble, strained as if it were the last struggle of a person on the brink of death, ready to give out at any moment.

The people outside the living room shuddered upon hearing this familiar sound, a sound they had grown all too accustomed to over the past days, sounding almost every couple of hours.

Yet no one dared to push open the bedroom door to check.

About five or six minutes later, Zhou Jiajie’s parents hurried back. As the couple entered, the others stood up, their eyes filled with sycophancy as they looked at Zhou Guhua.

“How is it? How is Jiajie?” Zhou Jiajie’s mother asked with concern.

“It’s the same as before,” the brave man replied.

“Let’s go in and see.”

So far, only Zhou Guhua and his wife dared to muster up the courage to enter the bedroom and stay with their son, although there were several instances where Zhou Jiajie’s mother had been scared unconscious by Bao Jie.

After Zhou Guhua made the suggestion, his wife said nothing. Though she was trembling like a sieve, she still clung to her husband’s arm, and both of them walked tentatively toward the bedroom.

The others stood at the entrance of the corridor, watching the couple with eyes wide with fright.

Arriving at the bedroom door, Zhou Guhua glanced at his wife, took a deep breath, and twisted the doorknob, gently pushing open the door.

The bedroom light was on, their son curled up on the bed, the bedding in utter disarray. Zhou Jiajie kept his head buried deep beneath the pillow, not even lifting his head upon hearing the door open.

The couple did not enter the bedroom immediately but peeked inside from the doorway, not seeing that woman’s shadow.

Just then, the head of a woman suddenly appeared in front of them, hanging upside down from the ceiling near the door, her hair disheveled, and her eyes coldly staring at them.

The couple shuddered in fright, Zhou Jiajie’s mother quickly covering her mouth to stifle a scream.

The upside-down woman’s head slowly tilted to one side, and, like a spider, she used her hands and feet to crawl into the room from the ceiling, down the wall, and onto the bed by the wall.
