Li Wenyi paused at Song Yan's question she did not understand what the latter meant but she carefully thought over the happenings of her company for the past few months and the more she thought the more her eyes widened as her entire face turned pale.

She nodded her head and then hurriedly looked at Song Yan before she licked her lips and replied, " There have been some weird happenings around the company lately, I did not pay attention to them before because I thought that I was only having a bit of bad luck but now that I think about it carefully something weird is happening."

" I had many assistants before I returned to the country but one by one they silently resigned or simply went missing when I contacted them I found out that they have either died or they committed suicide," now that Li Wenyi was talking about the  incidents that happened in the past few months, her entire body started to quiver as she licked her lips to moisten them even more and swallowed hard before she continued speaking, " I did think that it was really weird and Mu Ruyue even asked me to invite a master in the company to see what was going on but you already know that in such times it is really impossible for me to do so."

" People will blame me for spreading social superstition if I was to do something like this and what's more I am a public figure I will have to think twice before doing anything which was why I did not invite the master to the company because I thought that the media outlets will definitely cause trouble for me."

Li Wenyi did not think much about the accidental deaths because everything that happened was backed with solid evidence and there was also the fact that those who have killed themselves left their suicide notes behind. This was the reason why she has never thought more about it but now that Song Yan was telling her that something was wrong with all those deaths, Li Wenyi could not shiver at the thought. Those people who were working for her had been with her for many years, it would be a lie if she was to say that she was not saddened by their deaths, she was really upset when she realised that they were gone but there was absolutely nothing that she could do about it which was why she dropped the matter after the police officers handed her concrete evidence.

" Yan Yan, do you think that something is up with that portrait?" Li Wenyi asked her. Her forehead was covered with cold sweat and her palms were also sweating rather profusely, she had a lot of questions that she wanted to ask Song Yan but she decided that she would wait for Song Yan to answer her first question. She knew that Song Yan deliberately asked her about the death of those people who have gone missing in the past few months.

An absurd thought was forming in her head but she refused to accept it there was no way that was possible, right? Li Wenyi could still be considered a woman whose heart was made of stone, even though she realised that the portrait in her company seemed to have invited some sort of devil inside her company, she kept close control of her emotions and did not show anything on her face.

Seeing that Li Wenyi's face was getting more and more twisted because of all the thoughts that were running through her head, Song Yan pursed her lips and then carefully thought over her questions before she asked, " You said that the portrait was sent over to you by a fan? Have you ever tried to trace back the person who sent it over, I mean you should have at least penned a thank you note to his address or something of the sort?"

Li Wenyi thought it over but then she shook her head. " I did try to send a thank you note to that man but it turns out that he has already moved from the place where he used to live after a week of that portrait being sent, the return gift that was sent over to his place was returned by the postal company."

" But how is that linked with what is happening?"

"It's linked to this case very closely sister in law," Song Yan continued to speak as she leaned back on the couch and then smiled at Li Wenyi who was looking at her in confusion. " You don't think that it's weird that a man who was moving from his address to another house, despite being busy remembered to send you a gift just because his wife liked the dress you made? And even if he sent the portrait despite being in a hurry, don't you think that the man would have written his present address on the letter? Why was it that despite being your fan he made such a big mistake when he knew that you wouldn't have accepted the gift without sending one back?"

Li Wenyi's company was willing to accept any gift but at the same time they made sure that they would send return gifts to their well-wishers this was something that everyone knew, if the person who sent the portrait was really her fan then he would have never made such a mistake because every piece of clothing that Li Wenyi made was sold like hot cakes in the market which was why those fans would never miss a chance to get their hands on a gift that was sent by Li Wenyi.

" Maybe they missed writing their new address?" This was a common mistake, after all, if someone was moving to a new place writing their old address by habit was completely natural.

" Oh it's highly possible that they might have forgotten to write the latest address but …" Song Yan deliberately lowered her voice as she said, " Why would they send you a portrait that makes the wishes of others come true?"
