Midnight Bookstore

Chapter 63

Three days had passed since he rejected Wang Ke. Zhou Ze had originally forgotten about that matter. These few days, Bai Yingying would go to Xu Qinglang’s store to play computer games when she had nothing to do, while Xu Qinglang would go to the bookstore to chat with Zhou Ze and read the newspapers.

Before Chief Zhao left, he had told Xu Qinglang that it was best not to spend time laying around, and Xu Qinglang had agreed.

Right.

It was true that laziness did not allow success.

But…

Being lazy was very comfortable.

Xu Qinglang was still a degenerate. In the past three days, other than Zhou Ze eating and him eating, his restaurant had never been crowded. He did not even activate his takeaway app. It was always in a status of ‘closed’.

At noon, Zhou Ze had just finished his lunch with strawberry juice when he saw a familiar red car pulling over.

This made Zhou Ze speechless. It had only been three days, and this woman was going to do her hair again?

If too much was done to the hair, it would easily damage it.

In no time, the woman stopped the car and Wang Ke got down from the car as well.

Wang Ke jogged over to Zhou Ze, and then he gazed at Zhou Ze and said, “Help me.”

Simple.

It was also very direct.

Just these two words.

Without the previous introduction, it meant that the name was directly related to the previous topic—the split personality patient who had her ‘mother’ living inside her.

“The situation has gotten worse. Her personality has started to become disordered,” Wang Ke said hurriedly. “You’ve to help me.”

Zhou Ze shrugged.

The meaning was simple—’sorry, I still don’t want to get involved in this.’

The simple problem of one plus one equals two had caused an even more serious problem. This was a man-made disaster, not a natural disaster.

Among them, Wang Ke, who was considerate of the investors’ standpoint, lost his integrity as a doctor.

“I don’t have time.” Zhou Ze pointed at his bookstore. “I need to look after the store.”

He thought about rejecting Wang Ke. All he needed was an excuse and a reason. Even if that reason and excuse were lame, it did not matter.

“How much do you earn in a day? I’ll pay you ten times more,” Wang Ke spoke directly.

“Come with me. I think you can help. She almost committed suicide last night. If she had not been discovered earlier, she would already be a dead body!”

Zhou Ze was in pain.

His neighbor was richer than him.

His wife was richer than him.

His own maid was richer than him.

His childhood friend then said that he would give her ten times the amount of revenue he earned every day.

It was very sad.

Zhou Ze was so hurt that he wanted to ask him to help him check if he was born poor. Why was he so poor in both lifetimes?

“This is sentiment. The price cannot be measured.” Zhou Ze really did not want to go. He was a surgeon, and honestly, he only knew a little about psychology.

“Come with me, help me!”

Wang Ke grabbed Zhou Ze’s hand.

This made Zhou Ze a little uncomfortable.

Even Xu Qinglang, that man who was even more beautiful than a woman, had never done such a thing to him. He immediately took a step back and intended to withdraw his hand, but Wang Ke held his hand tightly instead.

Zhou Ze frowned slightly.

How could he be so forceful?

Just as Zhou Ze was about to get angry,

Wang Ke suddenly lowered his voice and said,

“Ah Ze, help me!”

Zhou Ze suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared fixedly at Wang Ke.

What did he just call me?

Wang Ke took deep breaths without end and said, “If this matter isn’t resolved, then my career will be finished. I won’t lie to you. I was the one who suggested that my investor choose to protect both his personalities. I told him that I had the ability to make proper treatment and arrangements.”

Now, I’m panicking. I’m helpless. I can only rely on you. ”

“What did you call me just now?” Zhou Ze lowered his voice.

Xu Qinglang happened to walk out of the shop to smoke. He saw the two men outside grabbing each other’s hands and whispering to each other.

He sucked in a breath of cold air and felt his teeth hurt. He sighed.

“It’s harmful to the culture.”

Wang Ke’s wife and Bai Yingying stood at the side, and they found it slightly difficult to understand when they saw their men speak so intimately.

“Ah Ze, help me.”

Wang Ke repeated.

He could tell.

He had noticed it long ago.

But he kept playing dumb.

Or rather, he was not confident, and this discovery and deduction was too shocking. However, at this moment, he could only hope for Zhou Ze’s help.

Zhou Ze bit his lip, raised his head, and nodded.

He agreed.

He had no choice but to agree.

Just like when he went to Wang Ke’s house to look for Wang Ke and directly told him Zhou Ze’s name, Wang Ke directly put down the most important work in his hands to treat his illness.

Right now,

After Wang Ke spoke his name, he wasn’t Xu Le anymore, and he was Zhou Ze instead, so there was no room for refusal.

As childhood friends who grew up together at the orphanage, even though they stopped contacting each other after their studies ended and started to work in their own fields, the memory of growing up together and encouraging each other still existed.

“Let’s go. Get in.”

Wang Ke impatiently opened the door for Zhou Ze, and Zhou Ze got into the car.

Wang Ke and Zhou Ze sat in the back seat while the woman drove.

For a long time, no one spoke in the car.

This made the woman who was driving feel pressured, but she did not ask much.

Zhou Ze opened the car window and let the wind in.

“How did you find out?”

“We grew up together, and we have our habits, habits, and actions.” As he spoke, Wang Ke stretched out his finger and knocked his head.” Moreover, I’m in this profession.”

Zhou Ze’s lips curled into a smile and he did not say anything else.

Wang Ke continued. “Help me deal with this matter. I won’t reminisce with you, I won’t contact you again, and I won’t disturb you again. I don’t have any other curiosity.”

You have to trust me on this. ”

“Are you still… the old you?” Zhou Ze asked.

“Last time, someone called Xu Le knocked on my door in the middle of the night and said that it was Zhou Ze who introduced him. What did I do?”

Zhou Ze nodded.

After a while, Zhou Ze said, “I’m a surgeon.”

‘ It means nothing if you ask me to come. I’ m not a psychiatrist. ‘

Unless the girl committed suicide again, it would not be a problem for him to participate in the rescue. However, he really could not do anything else.

Wang Ke glanced at his wife, who was driving, and lowered his voice as he said, “I’ve long suspected that she’s not just suffering from a split personality.”

“Oh?” Zhou Ze was stunned.

Then he understood the meaning.

What was so similar to ‘split personality’?

Ghost Possession!

No wonder Wang Ke had come looking for me last time and said that my second personality was able to link up with his second personality.

Fuck.

This implied:

You ghosts can communicate with ghosts!

F*ck!

…

This was Tong City’s highest-end residential area. It was situated at the foot of Wolf Mountain, and it was a high-end villa. When the car drove in, the security guards at the entrance saluted the person inside the car.

This reminded Zhou Ze of the neighborhood that he had lived in in his previous life. At night, the old guards at the guardhouse basically skipped work to sleep.

Wang Ke was naturally unaware that Zhou Ze was enduring the torment of the gap between the rich and poor in his heart, and he thought that Zhou Ze was slightly depressed because he’d seen through his identity.

The car entered the villa, and a young man walked over. He was the butler.

“Doctor Wang, Mr. Zheng has already lost his temper,” the butler reminded.

“Did something happen to Miss Zheng again?” Wang Ke’s expression turned solemn.

“No… that kind of…” The young butler was at a loss for words. In the end, he could only say,” It’s not life-threatening. This is not suicide. ”

Wang Ke and Zhou Ze got out of the car and went up the stairs to the second floor. Wang Ke’s wife did not follow them.

There were many rooms on the second floor, and they were all covered with a red carpet. The villa was large, but the decoration did not look too shabby or luxurious. This showed that the owner was not an upstart. On the contrary, he should be a very stylish person.

After turning a corner, Zhou Ze saw a middle-aged man with white hair standing at the door of a bedroom. The man had a cigar in his hand, and he looked worried.

When he saw Wang Ke and Zhou Ze walk over, a wisp of rage flashed in his eyes, but it vanished in an instant, and then he revealed a warm and helpless smile as he said,

“Doctor Wang, Pingping…”

“What’s wrong, Mr. Zheng?” Wang Ke was slightly anxious as well.

He was the doctor in charge of treating Zheng Pingping. Now that things had come to this, it was hard for him to escape the blame. Furthermore, he knew very well that the rich businessman before him was definitely unhappy with him. However, he knew that there was no point in getting angry at this time, so he had been restraining himself.

“See for yourself.”

Mr. Zheng signaled the two young men at the door to open the bedroom door, and Wang Ke and Zhou Ze walked in.

There were two nannies looking after them, and in the middle was a young girl wearing a dress with a cloth wrapped around her arm. She was dancing, and she was singing the ‘children’s play’.

Wang Ke had an astounded expression.

“How did this happen?”

Zhou Ze noticed that the girl’s wrist was bandaged. She had probably tried to cut her wrist to commit suicide, but she did not die.

The girl was jumping up and down, and she seemed to have noticed the two people that had entered the room as well. She immediately raised her pitch, waved the cloth in her hand, pointed at Wang Ke, and sang.

“He was alone and had overcome his parents.

A lifetime of hard work and hard work, all for nothing.

“In the end, I will be separated from my family, betrayed, and abandoned!”

The girl sang as she flicked her sleeves to cover her tears, as if she was grieving.

Wang Ke was slightly dazed, and he didn’t know what he was singing.

But Zhou Ze understood.

The girl waved her sleeves at Zhou Ze and sang,

“I’ve been alone and helpless since I was young. I’ve been living in fear and anxiety.

“When I climbed up the ladder, I ended up falling to the netherworld. What a pity…”

As they sang,

“Shh…”

The girl suddenly stopped.
