Chapter 117 is similar to the scene with the policewoman.
Old Huang slowly walked towards the elevator entrance, and Chen Cheng also began to push the door. A green light flashed on the doorknob, and two "beep" sounds were heard before the heavy door was finally pushed open.
"This is Hong Kong after all; even the door to a morgue is electromagnetic!"
Chen Cheng murmured softly.
"What did you say"?
"I didn't say anything, please forgive any impolite remarks!"
Liao Jingjing gently closed the door, put her hands together, and said in Cantonese, "Don't be offended by my impropriety, don't be offended by my impropriety!"
Chen Cheng walked to the morgue number six, reached out and pulled hard. The pull-out panel, emitting a chilling aura, came out. However, due to the height and angle, he couldn't see the whole thing. He looked around and saw a trolley for pushing corpses. He walked over and was about to pull the trolley over when Liao Jingjing, who was standing behind him, saw the withered legs and feet on the pull-out panel. She exclaimed "Ah!" and quickly covered her mouth, but the fear in her eyes was evident.
"I told you, if you come along, you'll be responsible for the consequences!"
Chen Cheng pushed the cart to the front of the morgue.
Liao Jingjing hadn't even seen the full picture of the corpse yet, and she suppressed her fear and retorted, "I, I wasn't too scared, it's just, it just felt so cold!"
Of course it's cold inside, it's practically a freezer! The weather in Hong Kong is warm like spring, so Liao Jingjing was only wearing a thin sweater and jeans. It would be strange if she wasn't cold!
Chen Cheng didn't say anything, but instead lifted the mummified corpse with both hands and carried it flat out of the freezer. It felt like it only weighed a few dozen kilograms and he didn't feel any weight at all.
"Ah! What are you doing?!"
Liao Jingjing screamed again.
However, she only felt relieved when she saw Chen Cheng carry the body onto the cart. Chen Cheng ignored her and turned around the cart to look at the wound on the corpse's neck. Suddenly, a completely mummified corpse appeared before Liao Jingjing's eyes—skin and bones, the skin on the face taut, the mouth and eyes wide open…
After a one-second pause, a piercing scream came from Liao Jingjing's mouth again. Before Chen Cheng could scold her, the power went out again with a "click"!
The morgue was plunged into endless darkness in an instant. It was cold, chilling, and pitch black. Liao Jingjing was so terrified that her heart almost stopped beating!
"Ah! Help! Help!"
She screamed, waving her hands helplessly, as if trying to drive away the darkness before her!
Just then, a familiar voice rang in her ears, like heavenly music: "Don't shout, it's just a power outage, the power will be back on soon!"
Liao Jingjing grabbed at the sound as if she had found a lifeline. She reached for a warm arm and hugged Chen Cheng tightly, burying her head in his chest. She felt that this embrace was the safest place in the world, without a doubt!
Chen Cheng was held tightly by her like an octopus, unable to push her away or move. He could only sigh, his hands hanging down, standing there like a wooden stake.
After calming down a bit, Liao Jingjing felt a chill run down her spine. Remembering the mummified corpse she had just seen, she became agitated again: "Hold me tight, please hold me tight, I'm scared, please, sob sob sob!"
As she was talking, she suddenly started crying.
Helpless, Chen Cheng had no choice but to raise his hands and hug her waist, which made Liao Jingjing feel much safer!
"How could this happen? Waaah, I'm so scared, waaah, I'll never come to a place like this again, I'll never come back, waaah!"
"It's alright, it's just a power outage, what's there to be afraid of!"
Chen Cheng comforted her.
"Waaah, thank you, I'll never be willful again, waaah..."
Two minutes later, with a "click," the lights on the ceiling came on again, illuminating the entire morgue!
"Hello, the phone is ringing!"
Liao Jingjing remained tightly embracing him.
"Hey, it's back on, you don't need to be scared anymore!"
She held on tightly, showing no intention of letting go.
Helpless, Chen Cheng could only slowly pry open her arms.
"No, please, no, waaaaah!"
"Liao Jingjing, wake up!"
Chen Cheng suddenly shouted, startling Liao Jingjing. She slowly raised her head and saw the light. Contrary to Chen Cheng's expectations, she did not immediately leave his embrace, but instead buried her head in his chest again.
This left Chen Cheng both amused and exasperated. He slowly and forcefully pried her hands apart, saying, "Let me go quickly. Let me finish examining the body so we can leave as soon as possible. If we wait any longer, the power might go out again!"
Liao Jingjing was startled by his words and cautiously let go of him. Chen Cheng saw that her face was covered in tears like a little kitten, and her hair was all messed up. He was both annoyed and amused.
After breaking free from her, Chen Cheng turned to examine the corpse, but Liao Jingjing hugged him from behind again, trembling. Chen Cheng knew this was a kind of dependence caused by extreme fear, but being hugged from behind made it inconvenient for him to examine the wounds. Moreover, her large breasts rubbed against his back, sending strange sensations through him. But he couldn't care less about anything else and could only carefully examine the wounds on the corpse's neck. Then he took out a small pair of scissors from his bag, cut off a lock of hair from the corpse, wrapped it in talisman paper, and only after doing all this did he forcefully pry open the hands that were hugging him!
"No, no!"
"Okay, I'll get on with my work first, then we'll leave here!"
Chen Cheng forcibly pushed her away, took out a soul-soothing talisman, lit it, and then touched it between her eyebrows. She regained some calm, but she was still terrified.
Taking this opportunity, Chen Cheng lifted the body, placed it on the sliding panel, and pushed it into the morgue. Only then did he pull the bewildered Liao Jingjing and quickly walk out.
As the two stepped out of the elevator, Liao Jingjing finally came to her senses and recalled the scene from just now. Just as she was about to say something, the power went out again with a "click"!
At this moment, Liao Jingjing swallowed back what she wanted to say.
When Zhao Yunlu arrived at the car, she was startled to see Liao Jingjing looking disheveled and distraught. Then she noticed the wet patch on Chen Cheng's shirt and immediately guessed what was going on.
"Jingjing, what's wrong? Did he bully you?"
As the chairman's assistant and secretary, she still acted as if she cared a lot about Liao Jingjing.
After a pause, Liao Jingjing came to her senses and said, "I'm fine. It was just that the power suddenly went out in the morgue, which scared me."
After saying that, he turned around and got into a car.
What were the findings?
After getting into the car, the white-haired old man turned his head and asked.
"As expected, the fatal wounds were the four puncture wounds on his neck and the bruises on his arms. He was probably grabbed from behind and his arms were tightly gripped before he bit his neck and sucked his blood to death."
"Are the legends of vampires true?"
"The probability is very high. Some of the demons in our area that have become spirits also use human blood as nourishment in order to quickly repair their chains!"
"Any plans?"
"Not yet, we'll talk about it when we get back!"
The old man with white hair looked at Chen Cheng and smiled, a rare occurrence on his face. "Let me gossip a bit. What did you do to that rich heiress?"
Chen Cheng rolled his eyes at him: "What do you mean, what did I do to her? I warned her not to go with me, but she insisted on going. As a result, she was terrified when she saw the dried corpse. What's worse, the power went out at the crucial moment."
"So what's going on here?"
The old man with white hair pointed to the tear stains on his chest.
"You really gossip to the end, don't you?"
"Haha, watch out, your policewoman might handcuff you and beat you up if she finds out!"
"How would she know if you didn't tell her?"
"Hahaha"!
They both laughed at the same time.
