Chapter 162 New Type of Theft
"You'd better tell the truth, or I'll never believe you again!" Deng Xiuzhen stared at Qin Yanlin, her eyes brimming with emotion.
Qin Yanlin thought for a moment and chose to tell the truth: "Do you remember the time I was injured and unconscious? I had a very long dream that time. In the dream, after you and I came up from the countryside, we opened an electronics store together."
To earn more money, I worked like crazy, and I didn't want to hire anyone, whether it was for purchasing or unloading goods.
Due to long-term overwork and irregular eating habits, I developed a serious illness. Then I died at a young age.
After I died, for some reason, I didn't see the legendary Black and White Impermanence, nor did I see the River of Oblivion, the Bridge of Helplessness, Meng Po, or anything like that.
I've been floating around you the whole time. I can't see the sunlight, so I can only stay at home.
I see several unfilial children, and I see you suffering, yet I am powerless to help.
Every time you're alone at home and say things like, "If only I were alive, if only we could grow old together healthy and safe," my heart aches...
Then on that day, when you went out, I was actually able to go out with you!
I saw you fall and wanted to help you up, but before I could even get close, I vanished into the darkness.
After walking in the dark for a very long time, I suddenly saw a light, and then I woke up.
When I woke up, you didn't want me anymore.
I asked them, and they told me what had happened…
Deng Xiuzhen was stunned:
I am reborn.
What is this, Qin Yanlin? Soul transmigration? Soul return?
It's not like a soul transfer; he is himself, his thoughts are his own, and his experiences are his own.
If it is a soul returning home, it will not remember the foolish things it did.
Or, as he claims, he was in the dark when he did the foolish thing. What about that period of his life? Who was Qin Yanlin during that time?
Who will pay the price for that mistake?
"Xiuzhen?" Qin Yanlin asked cautiously, his heart filled with trepidation.
Deng Xiuzhen was in a state of utter confusion. Without saying a word, she turned and left.
Qin Yanlin watched Deng Xiuzhen's retreating figure, hesitant to follow, yet unwilling to remain still, his mind filled with conflicting emotions.
Two little people, A and B, were arguing in Deng Xiuzhen's mind.
A said: He's lying to you, trying to cover up the mistakes he made in the past. You can't forgive him!
B said: He has no reason to lie to you. He simply returned to his original state after that coma. Otherwise, how could he not know about stocks and real estate?
A said: He didn't know? Then how did he start a construction company?
B said: If he knew, why would he object to you buying land? Why not use the money you make from your company to buy land and stocks?
……
A said: Even if he later returned to his original body, his original self still cheated! This behavior is unforgivable!
B said: That was something someone else did, so you can't blame him!
A said: "It's him! He's the one who cheated! His heart is back, but his body has been unfaithful. A person who has cheated is a despicable person and cannot be forgiven!"
B said: Okay, even if it was his mistake, you have a long life ahead of you, you'll have to find someone else to live with, right? Is the man you find next necessarily better than this one?
Perhaps what you're looking for is something others don't want anymore. Instead of looking for something others don't want, it's better to follow this person who knows their mistakes and tries to correct them.
A said: "Can't I live alone? Why do I have to find someone else?"
B said: You don't have to look for him, but why do you want to punish yourself for the rest of your life because of the mistakes he made?
Can't you just treat this as a new one you found, and a really good one at that?
……
In the end, Deng Xiuzhen listened to Yi's advice and decided to treat the former Qin Yanlin and the current Qin Yanlin as two different people.
The previous Qin Yanlin was a scumbag, but the current Qin Yanlin treats me well, so I might try to get to know him.
Having calmed herself down, Deng Xiuzhen slept soundly.
When Deng Xiuzhen opened the door in the morning, she saw Qin Yanlin standing there, looking haggard and pitifully staring at her with dark circles under his eyes.
"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Deng Xiuzhen's goodwill towards Qin Yanlin increased even more.
"Yeah, I was worried you wouldn't want me anymore, I was so worried I couldn't sleep all night." Qin Yanlin hadn't rested well, and the cold made his voice a little hoarse.
"I didn't sleep well last night, so there's no rush to go to the shop today. You should get some sleep first. I'll go out and buy two pears and some water chestnuts to boil into a drink for you; it'll be good for your throat."
"Huh?" Qin Yanlin was momentarily stunned, but when he realized what was happening, he jumped for joy and readily agreed.
When I got home, I quickly climbed into bed and tried to sleep, but I was too excited and couldn't fall asleep.
When Deng Xiuzhen returned with the groceries, he was still there, flipping and turning the pancakes, too excited to be sleepy at all.
He simply got up, grabbed a kettle, and dragged Deng Xiuzhen to the shop.
The two arrived at the store and found a tricycle parked in front, fully loaded with goods. A person wearing a hat and mask was carrying things out of the store.
Upon seeing Qin Yanlin and the others, they remained calm, unhurriedly getting into the car and preparing to drive away.
Qin Yanlin and Deng Xiuzhen didn't react for a moment and instinctively tried to flag down the car.
At this moment, Zhu Shanshan came out of the store, saying: "Mr. Qin, Auntie, you've arrived?"
The two agreed and asked, "What's this person doing? Is he carrying our store's goods?"
"Yes, didn't you ask him to come and load it? Look, this is the packing list you wrote, right?" Zhu Shanshan said, taking out a piece of paper.
Qin Yanlin took it and saw that it really was his own handwriting.
But I didn't do this business, and I didn't write such a list.
Realizing something was wrong, he immediately turned around.
The tricycle was moving forward, but because there were many people on the street, it hadn't gone far.
Stop! Stop!
Qin Yanlin chased after him while shouting.
The man turned around upon hearing the sound and saw that Qin Yanlin was chasing after him. He quickly sped up and ran away.
Thud, crack!
With a loud thud and the screeching of car brakes, the tricycle was thrown into the air, and the driver was thrown out.
When Qin Yanlin ran over, the scene was a complete mess.
The tricycle driver had a large hole in the back of his head, and blood was gushing out. His waist was against a stone block, and his body was bent in a strange position.
An ambulance and traffic police arrived quickly, and paramedics pronounced the driver dead at the scene before driving away in the ambulance.
Traffic police have apprehended the truck driver and are handling the scene.
The horrific scene made Qin Yanlin lose interest in investigating the goods, and he turned around and went back to the shop.
The store was almost half empty. Zhu Shanshan was explaining to Deng Xiuzhen that she came to work on time, but Deng Xiuzhen and Qin Yanlin hadn't come, so she was waiting at the door.
Then this person came with a packing list and asked her to ship the goods, saying he was in a hurry.
She said the boss hadn't come, so the door couldn't be opened.
Then the other party said that Qin Yanlin gave him the key.
He took out his key and opened the door in an instant.
With the key and the list provided, Zhu Shanshan believed them and shipped the goods according to the list.
