Chapter 786 - 784: The Bullet Screen Scam 6

But she forced herself to stay inside the room and locked the door from the inside. In an emergency, she dialed Shen Muzhi’s number mentioned in the bullet screen.

While waiting for Shen Muzhi, Shao Yifan came knocking at the door, asking if she was okay. It’s because of this that she somewhat believed the assertions from the bullet screen; the noises at night were likely arranged by the butler.

However, after checking, she found no evidence at all.

Moreover, one incident can’t prove anything. Unconsciously, she started to suspect the butler more, not even realizing that she was being influenced by the bullet screen, gradually leaning towards the Shen Family.

Later, a series of events made her completely believe that the Shen Family were the ones who genuinely cared about her.

In the end, she woke up one day to find herself sent to a mental institution.

Of course, by that time she had married Shen Muzhi.

At that time, she even recalled her wedding day with Shen Muzhi, where the bullet screen was full of blessings and congratulations for her, and they said the adaptation was good with such a conclusion, really reluctant to part.

She felt everything seemed like a dream.

Relating to her own encounter, she truly became somewhat mentally disturbed all of a sudden.

Yet, she was clearly aware that she was calculated by someone with deliberate intent.

Even though the Shen Family visited her with faces full of worry and concern, she no longer believed them at all.

She still thought that she had no mental problems, but the more she insisted she wasn’t ill, the more others thought she was, impossible to prove otherwise.

"Is it not to your taste?" Chen Qing had been watching Ah Chen, seeing she ate little, she asked with concern, "If there’s anything you like, you must tell me, alright? I and your mother are good friends, consider this as your home, you don’t have to be too polite."

Ah Chen nodded: "It’s quite delicious, just not very hungry."

After dinner, Chen Qing looked around and couldn’t help but ask, "Where’s the eldest and the third one?"

Sitting on the sofa, Shen Muzhi raised his head and replied indifferently, "Maybe went upstairs to play games."

He glanced at Ah Chen and then said, "Are you going to send Xiao Chen back? I’ll send Xiao Chen."

The villas of the two families were not far apart, just a few minutes’ walk.

"That third one..." Chen Qing shook her head with a bitter smile, "Alright, you send Xiao Chen back, the third one is really unreliable."

"Xiao Chen, let Brother Muzhi send you back, then Auntie will help teach Shen Muyang a lesson later. Running upstairs to play games right after dinner, what kind of behavior is that, really don’t know when he’ll grow up." Chen Qing looked helpless yet frustrated.

Ah Chen naturally said nothing more.

Shen Muzhi picked up her backpack, and she followed beside him.

The short journey of a few minutes passed quickly, with almost no conversation until they reached the front of the Qiao Family Villa.

"Do you have my number?" Shen Muzhi asked in a casual tone.

Ah Chen shook her head, then Shen Muzhi reached out to her, signaling for her to take out her phone.

Ah Chen handed the phone to him but did not unlock it.

Shen Muzhi took the phone and glanced at it, obviously noticing this too, paused for a moment, then took out his own phone and asked for Ah Chen’s phone number.

Ah Chen took her phone back while reciting her phone number.

Soon, Shen Muzhi’s call came in, and she made a note.

"If there’s anything in the future, you can call this number."

"Alright, Brother Muzhi take care." Ah Chen responded, turned around, and went into the Qiao Family Villa with her backpack and phone.

[Shen Muzhi, from those bullet screen hints, will I choose to marry him someday? Really? He’s quite good-looking, but not my type.]

Shen Muzhi, who had just turned to leave, suddenly stopped, instinctively looking at Ah Chen who was just about to enter the door, his eyes filled with unstoppable amazement.

Where did the voice he just heard come from?

The voice somewhat resembled Qiao Chen’s, but thinking carefully, there’s a bit of difference.

Shen Muzhi looked perplexed, and soon thought of a possibility, could it be a mind’s voice? Could something so ridiculous happen? His first thought was whether it could be a conspiracy.

His mind was somewhat chaotic, feeling for the first time a bit at a loss.

"Xiao Chen." Finally, he called out to Ah Chen who was stepping through the door.

Ah Chen turned her head and smiled, "Brother Muzhi, is there anything else? But it’s so late, I should rest; otherwise, I should invite you in for a visit."

[The bullet screen said some situations would arise tonight, maybe the butler would play tricks to scare me, letting Shao Yifan save the damsel in distress. Not sure the exact time or how they would scare me. The bullet screen suggests the Shen Family can be trusted, should I ask Shen Family for help then?]

Shen Muzhi almost changed his expression, quickly lowering his eyes to steady his mind, avoiding showing any peculiar expression.

After Qiao Chen said that line, another voice appeared, and at that time her mouth indeed did not move, tightly closed, unlike ventriloquism. If it’s ventriloquism, the mouth usually won’t be closed completely.

She also didn’t make any other moves, it shouldn’t be a recorded playback.

Moreover, he had made another preparation just now, secretly started recording on his phone.

If it’s a mind’s voice, when he plays the recording later, it certainly wouldn’t contain the thought segment, if it’s not a mind’s voice, the recording definitely would reveal it.

Shen Muzhi took a deep breath, saying, "It’s nothing, Muyang just has a playful nature, don’t mind what happened earlier, okay, go home and rest."

"Okay, Brother Muzhi." Ah Chen replied with a smile.

Meanwhile, Shen Muzhi again heard the familiar voice: [Quite polite and courteous, but still not my type as of now, what I like is...]

Yet no voice followed.

Shen Muzhi was now rather confused, deciding not to overcomplicate things, he turned and paced quickly towards his home, unable to keep his expression composed, his steps hastening, rushing into his room after returning home. Taking a deep breath, he fetched his phone, opened the previous recording.

"Xiao Chen."

"Brother Muzhi, anything else? But it’s so late, should rest; otherwise, I should invite you in for a visit."

"It’s nothing, Muyang just has a playful nature, don’t mind what happened earlier, okay, go home and rest."

"Okay, Brother Muzhi."

None! None of the slightly different two lines he heard it recorded.

So, did he really hear Qiao Chen’s mindspeak earlier?

Shen Muzhi looked shocked, turned off the phone, got up and headed towards Shen Zhenxiong’s study.

Seeing it was him, Shen Zhenxiong was somewhat surprised: "The person was delivered?"

"She was." Shen Muzhi’s expression still uncertain, making Shen Zhenxiong curious.

"Did anything happen?"

"I seemed to have heard Xiao Chen’s mindspeak." Saying this, Shen Muzhi’s face still bore the shock.

With those words, Shen Zhenxiong even thought Shen Muzhi was joking.

Yet his eldest son didn’t appear to be joking.

"Are you certain it was mindspeak?"

Shen Muzhi nodded, confirmed, then recounted the previous events entirely.

"Let’s go to a psychiatric department tomorrow, and we’ll see about the rest." Eventually, Shen Zhenxiong suggested.

Such an occurrence was indeed too absurd, he was more worried that his eldest son might have a mental issue, better to treat it early if there was.

Even without Shen Zhenxiong’s mention, Shen Muzhi also had this thought, so far he’s the only one who heard it, unable to prove if he had auditory hallucinations or the reality, visiting psychiatric department seemed safer.

If there’s an illness, treat it early.
