Chapter 124

Pei Jing didn't pretend to be generous and say forgiving words. He just calmly handed the things in his hands to Yang Jun, "This is for Da Wei, you can take it. We won't go in. We'll come to see him another day."

"Okay, thanks for your kindness. When Da Wei gets better, I'll take him to your house to play." He didn't dare say he would let Pei Jing and Zhi Xia come to his house. Pei Jing's family was pregnant, and no one knew what kind of extreme reaction Shen Hongxing would have if she came again.

Pei Jing took Zhi Xia back to inquire about her.

After learning that Zhi Xia was fine, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Pei Meng came back after sending meals to Zhao Xin. Pei Jing didn't need to go to the dormitory now, so he went directly to squeeze with Zhao Xin.

At night, Pei Meng also learnt about the whole story of why Yang Dawei fell into the ice cave, and her heart was full of sorrow.

At dawn, Zhi Xia opened the door and just happened to see Shen Hongmei looking around on the road in front of Shen Hongxing's door.

She also saw Zhi Xia. Her gloomy complexion barely smiled, but it looked more pitiful.

Zhi Xia's eyes were downcast. When she looked up again, she moved her steps and walked towards Shen Hongmei.

She probably understood Zhi Xia's purpose and also moved her footsteps over here.

"You've come to see your sister and Da Wei, right?" Zhi Xia took the lead and said, "When we went to visit Da Wei yesterday, we just happened to hear that your brother-in-law was going to divorce your sister. She's not in a very good state. You'd better go see her."

When Shen Hongmei heard this, her already not very good complexion turned even paler, and her body also seemed to be shaking.

She reflexively turned around and wanted to go see Shen Hongxing, but she didn't know what she was thinking. She suddenly stopped in her tracks. After a while, she turned back, "I...I'm still busy with the Propaganda Group these days, and may not have time. Can you tell me how Da Wei is doing?"

"I heard he became silly. I didn't see anyone when I went over yesterday. I don't know the specifics either." Zhi Xia told the truth.

In fact, they all knew clearly that even if the Propaganda Group was busy, it would be impossible to not even have time to see people, let alone she was already at the door.

It was obvious that she didn't want to get close to Shen Hongxing anymore, or rather, she didn't dare to get close.

Zhi Xia was already guessing that perhaps Shen Hongmei didn't deliberately want to harm people, but was coerced by the thing in her body, and had completely lost control of herself.

Including her previous approach to Pei Jing, it was probably for some other purpose.

After all, according to Shen Hongmei's performance, she didn't really look like someone who loved Pei Jing but couldn't be with him.

Although she had already heard from others what had happened to her sister and nephew, when she heard it again from Zhi Xia’s mouth, Shen Hongmei was still very upset.

She didn't even dare to see them anymore. She was really afraid to see what her sister and Da Wei looked like, and could no longer bear their kindness to her.

Because only she herself knew that in all these events, she was the real culprit.

Her sister's drastic change in temper was her punishment for trying to escape the control system. The system had promised her that it would no longer hurt her family, but it broke its word.

Shen Hongmei knew that this was another warning from it to her.

When people are alive, they can't be completely without scruples. Shen Hongmei's biggest scruples were her loved ones, and it was also the system's handle on her.

She could make people not have good feelings for her so as not to get hurt, but how could her own flesh and blood relatives not have a little good feeling for her?

Shen Hongmei felt a fishy and sweet taste in her throat, as if something was stuck in her throat. She turned around wanting to flee.

Zhi Xia called to stop her, "Comrade Shen, I've heard about what happened to your sister. Aren't you surprised by her sudden, drastic change in mood?"

Shen Hongmei instinctively looked back, "What do you mean?" Zhi Xia walked over, looking straight into her eyes, "What I mean is that there are some things in this world that are not under human control, and I just happen to have some kind of special ability that may be able to help you resolve some troubles you want to get rid of."

The system in her mind that could notice everything in the outside world sensed something and was frantically jittering.

[Host, don't listen to her nonsense. Leave here now.]

Shen Hongmei ignored the system and tentatively asked, "Do you know what you're talking about? Aren't you afraid I'll report you for spreading superstition and supernatural powers in the army?"

"You can try it and see if anyone will believe your words." Zhi Xia was not in a hurry, because Shen Hongmei was the one who desperately wanted to get rid of these things. And with just the two of them talking, Zhi Xia believed that she, who had a guilty conscience, was the one who didn't dare speak nonsense. "You can think about it carefully. When you've thought it through, feel free to come find me anytime."

The urgency of the system in her mind made Shen Hongmei more certain that perhaps Zhi Xia really had some special abilities that could help her get rid of the system's control.

A ray of hope suddenly rose in Shen Hongmei's heart. She looked eagerly at Zhi Xia, "I..."

Just as she was about to reveal her secret, a strong electric current flowed through her whole body, instantly paralyzing her nerves. She fell down in front of Zhi Xia, convulsing ceaselessly. Zhi Xia hurriedly grabbed her wrist. At that moment, she also saw the plea in Shen Hongmei's eyes through the energy of the Transactioner.

Shen Hongxing happened to come out from the room at this time. Seeing this scene, she rushed over like crazy, "What are you doing? What have you done to my sister?"

Hearing these words and seeing Shen Hongxing's figure, Zhi Xia quickly let go of Shen Hongmei and took a few steps back, ready to defend herself in case Shen Hongxing rushed at her.

Pei Meng, who had just got up lazily, also saw this scene and hurriedly blocked in front of Zhi Xia. Fortunately, Shen Hongxing was worried about Shen Hongmei and hurried to check Shen Hongmei's condition.

Shen Hongmei was helped up by Shen Hongxing. Apart from her even paler complexion, nothing else could be seen.

Until she left leaning on Shen Hongxing, her eyes still glanced unnoticed in Zhi Xia's direction.

"Mengmeng, I'm a little dizzy. I'll go back to the room and lie down first. Just make some simple breakfast." Zhi Xia said.

Pei Meng thought Zhi Xia was frightened and hurriedly supported her, "Is it serious? Let me help you back first, then I'll call Uncle Pei to come back and take a look, okay?"

"These are all normal reactions during pregnancy. I just stood up too quickly and got dizzy. I'll be fine after lying down in the room for a while. Don't let him worry."

Girls tend to be anemic. Pei Meng also sometimes got dizzy when she got up too quickly, so she believed Zhi Xia's words.

On the other side, Shen Hongmei and the system finally reached a consensus again before the electric shock punishment finally ended.
