Since the incident where she was doused with a bucket of filth at the office building entrance, Chiang Qing had been taking sick leave and hadn't gone to work for some days, staying at home in a daze every day.
Today, however, she sensed something was off. Lu Shufen, who was going out for an inspection, came to her room beforehand, saying all sorts of random things like she should take good care of her health, not overthink, that her health is the most important thing, and then, finally, she hugged Chiang Qing and cried.
This made Chiang Qing feel extremely strange. She thought Lu Shufen's expression was too odd, as if she were looking at a pitiable pet, both compassionate and reluctant.
Why, why would her mother show such a strange expression?
The house was very quiet, a quiet that carried a trace of eeriness, making Chiang Qing feel quite uneasy and sense danger.
