Chapter 209: Chapter of Haunting Memories
by xennovelChapter 209: The Deceased is a ‘Green Tea’ Persona
Interrogation Room – A young man sits rigidly in the interrogation chair.
Yu Shaoyang, Male, 27, from Bin City – a taxi driver…
“These past few years, I’ve been plagued by nightmares. Even if I move to a new place, replace my furniture, or even marry and have kids, I can’t shake her memory. Once the lights go out at night, her dark, hidden silhouettes flood my vision and haunt my mind…”
“She… is insidious. She suffocates me, terrifies me, and keeps my nerves on edge…”
“Especially lately—when I close my eyes, I see blood dripping from the ceiling. It falls on my face, my body, everywhere around me…”
“And then her severed leg appears before me. Her dismembered hand too – I can even feel their chilling coldness. I see the fragmented bones, the jagged texture of flesh cut by an electric saw, and the bright red nail polish on her fingers and toes…”
“Then I saw her face. It floated before me just as it did when she was alive. At the cut open neck, blood dripped relentlessly from the severed head…”
“I know these are just dreams, but they are terrifyingly vivid. And I keep having them… I’m on the brink of collapse. I can’t take it anymore!”
Yu Shaoyang’s face twisted in agony, as if on the verge of a mental breakdown, his eyes blazing red as he roared.
Indeed, his eyes were a deep, unsettling red.
The network of capillaries on his whites rose up, covered by countless streaks of blood.
This made Yu Shaoyang’s eyes appear all the more red…
Watching him, Xiao Yu remained calm.
This phenomenon is actually easy to explain.
Guilty conscience!
Much like how some ordinary people occasionally recall their shameful deeds.
The same goes for guilty thoughts.
Those who commit heinous acts tend to have those memories etched in their minds, too hard to forget.
People are swayed by virtue but can also be governed by sin.
In extreme cases, such guilt can drive an ordinary person to madness!
“So, are the ghost stories over?”
Xiao Yu spoke coolly, “Then, why did you kill your… ex-girlfriend?”
“She was nothing but a ‘Green Tea’ – a total tramp.”
Anger and an indescribable madness flashed across Yu Shaoyang’s face as he continued, “She always came off as so innocent and harmless, almost pitiful. Her words, delivered in the gentlest manner, always hit the hardest. Once she got what she wanted, even those she used were moved to tears, completely entranced by her… Yes, I was too pathetic, too stupid, too naive!”
Xiao Yu laughed, “Ha!”
“Naive? Pathetic? Innocent?”
Was it really like that?
As a man, Xiao Yu knew that no sane man could be that oblivious.
It only goes to show that some women have an exceptionally high emotional IQ – a level far beyond the ordinary.
They know exactly what a man’s weaknesses are and how to exploit their own strengths.
A double-edged attack with amplified effects!
But ‘Green Tea’ women have one very clear trait.
They wouldn’t bully a man with no money, nor would they target a man with nothing to his name.
You see the point!
So, who exactly is Yu Shaoyang?
A taxi driver!
Would a ‘Green Tea’ woman fall for a taxi driver?
Xiao Yu reviewed the information on the Tablet.
The suspected victim.
Wang Mei, Female, 24 (age at the time of disappearance), from Bincheng, unemployed, frequently seen at bars and nightclubs.
According to the police investigation, her family reported that before she vanished, Wang Mei had been involved with several men in ambiguous relationships…
Key point: Wang Mei only ever had one boyfriend – Yu Shaoyang.
They met in college, their hometowns sharing the same city.
Eventually, they became a couple.
They spent a solid four years together until Wang Mei’s disappearance!
I have to say, some women just seem born to be ‘Green Tea’.
According to the investigation…
During college, Wang Mei secretly maintained improper relationships with many guys.
After graduation…
She became even more brazen and reckless.
Regularly seen frequenting bars and nightclubs with various men.
Her hotel room logs showed over 130 check-ins.
And more than twenty different men sharing the room!
After Xiao Yu finished reading the investigation report, his head was spinning.
Wang Mei was something else, absolutely off the charts.
As the saying goes,
“Girl, your bed is always busy!”
In other words…
Ever since Wang Mei got together with Yu Shaoyang again,
strange changes began taking over his mind.
Like a vast, thriving meadow that is constantly watered, growing lush and vibrant!
But… Xiao Yu sneered.
Back to the point – no man is truly naive.
Not just a few years into a relationship,
even after a short year or two, any man would notice something was off, right?
So how did Yu Shaoyang manage to stay with Wang Mei for four whole years?
“I love her. I really do.”
Yu Shaoyang’s face contorted in pain. “She was my first woman. We even planned to get married after graduation. But in our first year together, I noticed she was surrounded by other men. I secretly saw her messages… I knew she was in contact with many guys. We fought countless times, and she promised to cut ties… Yet, after four years, not only did she refuse to change, but…”
“But what?” Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes.
“One time, a friend of mine said he saw her in a hotel.”
Yu Shaoyang erupted in anger, “I went to the hotel, banged on the room door and found not just her… but three men inside!”
Xiao Yu: …
I’m convinced!
But still…
Xiao Yu asked coldly, “So why didn’t you break up with her?”
“I tried – it was over.”
Yu Shaoyang, clearly in torment, continued, “I did break up with her, but she clung to me, even causing a scene at my home. Whenever I went on a blind date, she’d deliberately sabotage it… I just couldn’t stand it anymore…”
“Wait a minute.”
Xiao Yu frowned, “Are you saying that after the breakup, she kept trying to reconcile?”
“No, not to get back together. She was just out to make trouble.”
Yu Shaoyang fumed, “She did it on purpose. She can’t stand to see me succeed!”
Something’s off… From this point on, Xiao Yu’s mind began racing.
What exactly wasn’t adding up?
Where were the discrepancies?
