Chapter 37: Professor Song Remembers the Past

The video was actually less than two minutes long. A white “female ghost” flashed past in an instant, along with Han Xi Ping’s terrified scream.

At first glance it looked scary, but if you watched carefully, you could tell the “female ghost” was just someone in costume – and it was even a boy.

It was basically an insult to people’s intelligence.

Netizen: “I kind of feel like I’ve been offended.”

But Li Wen really was an internet celebrity. He already had a fan base, and by that point, the video had already surged into the trending section on social media.

Of course, the comments below were all the same, cursing, “You can tell it’s fake at a glance, and it’s such a cheap, lazy fake.”

Now this “haunted” video was right in front of her, and Song Li Na had to watch it. A bunch of bratty kids – if they were not trying to hype things up, then it was a prank.

But her expression froze.

Because it was South City Villa.

In that instant, that old incident in her mind became painfully clear again. It was a shadow she had never dared to touch in her life.

Impossible. No one knew about this!

Her face turned deathly pale. She did not know why, but at that moment, a strange chill suddenly rose across her skin.

Once that chill passed, all that was left was a bleeding scar!

Cold sweat poured down her, and she did not know how much strength it took to suppress the panic in her heart.

After a moment, Song Li Na finally let out a cold laugh, as if she had found a breakthrough. She said to Chen Xue Ru in a sinister voice, “Mrs. Jiang, since your eldest daughter doesn’t welcome me, there’s no need for me to stay as a guest. In the future, please discipline your eldest daughter properly. I’ll be leaving now.”

With that, she did not wait for Chen Xue Ru’s response and turned to leave.

Even though she tried hard to control herself, the chill in her heart only spread, as if it were going to swallow her whole.

But as soon as she reached the courtyard, Song Li Na saw that Jiang Shi Yue had followed her over, unhurriedly.

The girl still wore a smile, her clear almond eyes widening slightly as she asked in surprise, “Professor Song, do you not like this video? Don’t tell me you’re afraid of ghosts?” Her ending tone was soft and sweet, yet the words “afraid of ghosts” seemed to carry a hint of mockery.

“What exactly are you trying to do?” Song Li Na was completely enraged. She suddenly swung a hard slap. She forgot how poised and elegant she usually was, forgot that she was a graceful university professor. This time she used all her strength. It felt like the first time in her life she had lost control – no, it was… the second.

But Jiang Shi Yue easily caught her hand. In that instant, Song Li Na suddenly felt a bone-deep chill spread over her, as if it was slowly drilling into her skin along Jiang Shi Yue’s fingers.

If the chill in her heart just now had been a feeling born from panic…

Then this chill was frighteningly real, so real it was as if she had fallen into an icy pit.

Song Li Na shuddered uncontrollably.

Jiang Shi Yue calmly pushed her hand aside and then closed in on her, step by step.

That terror could no longer be held back. Song Li Na’s face grew even paler, and she instinctively backed away.

Jiang Shi Yue sighed. “Professor Song, I risked my life to save your daughter, but you repay kindness with hatred. Do you know a saying?”

As she spoke, Jiang Shi Yue’s slender, pale finger traced a slow circle over Song Li Na’s chest. “Good is repaid with good, evil is repaid with evil. It’s not that there is no retribution – the time just hasn’t come.”
