Chapter 47: Human or Ghost 2

1336 Words
The sky gradually darkened, and Dong Qing quickened her pace. Perhaps her father and grandmother were still waiting for her to come back for dinner. Her phone in her pocket rang, who could it be? Dong Qing took out her phone and saw an unfamiliar number. After hesitating for a moment, she answered it and put the phone to her ear, feeling nervous. She guessed it was Mo Sen. Unexpectedly: "Dong Qing, it's me, I'm Deng Wei."Looking at her phone, what was Deng Wei calling for? His voice sounded strange, as if he was going through some kind of torture.Before Dong Qing could even respond, Deng Wei cried out in fear, "Dong Qing, save me, they want to kill me, save me."Dong Qing didn't know how to respond. What was Deng Wei doing and why would someone want to kill him? Even if someone was trying to kill him, he should call the police, what use was it to call her? She couldn't save him.Just as she was about to tell him to call the police, a rough and bold male voice came through the phone, "Deng Wei is your boyfriend, right? He borrowed 1 million with high interest from me, and now it's time for him to pay back. He said he doesn't have the money, what do you think we should do? Bring 2 million to save him, otherwise, don't blame me... hehe, you're smart, you know what I mean. Don't call the police, we have people inside. If you act foolishly, you can wait to collect his body. You have half an hour to come to Nan Gangluo River Forest."Before Dong Qing could say anything, the call was abruptly ended. Dong Qing's heart sank. 2 million, where was she supposed to get that from? Was she supposed to rob a bank? What did Deng Wei need 1 million for? Why was he coming to her now? She wanted to just hang up and pretend she didn't receive the call, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. Despite everything that happened between them, they were still classmates.But as soon as she thought about Deng Wei being in Nan Gangluo River Forest, Dong Qing felt a chill run down her spine. That was a place where the city executed death row inmates and buried them in a mass grave. Some superstitious old people said they saw ghosts in Nan Gangluo River Forest, and some even heard them crying.With determination, Dong Qing decided she had to go there no matter what. She took out her phone and called Gezi. She wasn't stupid enough to go and get herself killed. Those people could kill Deng Wei, and even if she brought money, they could still harm her. After a while, Gezi finally answered the call.Dong Qing urgently said, "Gezi, Deng Wei is in danger. I don't know the details, and there's no time. The other side doesn't want us to call the police. I'm going to check it out now. You go to the 'Rui Tian' hotel and find a man named Mo Sen, the guy we met at the party last night. Tell him I'm in danger and ask for his help. I don't think he'll refuse. Then you bring him to Nan Gangluo River Forest. Hurry, Gezi."Before Gezi could say anything, Dong Qing hung up. The other side only gave half an hour, and she had already wasted a third of it. She waved for a taxi, but as soon as the driver heard where she wanted to go, he refused. She couldn't waste any more time. As soon as a car approached, Dong Qing quickly got in and told the driver where to go. As expected, the driver had a pained expression and said, "Miss, it's already dark. I have a family to support. Please spare me." Dongqing spoke kindly, "I have urgent matters to attend to. I won't make you drive all the way. When we get close, I'll get off and walk. I'll pay you double the fare, is that okay?"The driver was moved by Dongqing's anxious expression and the promise of double fare. Dongqing took the opportunity to say, "I really have urgent matters and I won't let you take me all the way. You can consider it as doing a good deed, okay?"After saying that, Dongqing took out the money for the fare and handed it to the driver. The driver sighed, "I'm not afraid of ghosts, but you might not know that there are often robbers in that area. Miss, I can only take you to the turn, is that okay? If not, you'll have to find another car."Saying that, the driver tried to return the money to Dongqing."It's okay, thank you so much." Dongqing was afraid that the driver would change his mind after hearing about the robbers, so she quickly thanked him.It's fine to be dropped off at the turn, the rest of the way shouldn't be too far. She could probably jog the rest of the way.After getting off the car, Dongqing asked the driver for directions. The driver looked around and said anxiously, "Just keep walking along this road and you'll see a forest." With that, he stepped on the gas and drove away.As the driver left, Dongqing was left alone in the dark night. She calmed herself down and followed the route the driver had given her.It was a hot and stuffy summer night, and the sound of cicadas in the distance made Dongqing even more anxious. She wanted to turn back, but there were no cars in sight, so she had no choice but to keep going. As she got closer to the abandoned cemetery, Dongqing could hear her own heartbeat and prayed for Gexi to quickly inform Mosen and for Mosen to come and save her. She took out her phone to call Gexi, but she was afraid of wasting his time. She regretted not knowing Mosen's phone number. Gexi, please hurry.Finally, she arrived at Nangang Forest. Standing outside the forest, Dongqing was too scared to enter. The forest was dark and she couldn't see her surroundings. The wind blew, making a rustling sound, like ghosts crying. Dongqing stood on the path outside the forest, waiting for Mosen to arrive before going in. But it seemed like the other person knew she was there, and her phone in her pocket started ringing.Reluctantly, Dongqing answered the call. The music from her phone made her feel like a lonely ghost. "Just put it next to your ear: "Did you bring the money?" "No, but someone will bring it soon, just wait." Dong Qing wanted to delay time, according to her calculations, Mo Sen should be on his way here with people."Come in first, don't try anything funny." The other party said in a sinister tone.Hanging up the phone, Dong Qing looked around and wanted to stall for a while longer, when suddenly two dark figures rushed out from the woods. She almost fainted again, biting her lip to hold on. The dark figures slowly approached, and Dong Qing saw that they were two people, but she knew that these two were even darker than ghosts.The other party didn't speak, one of them turned and walked towards the woods, while the other walked behind Dong Qing. She had no choice but to follow them into the dark forest.These two were very familiar with everything in the forest, and Dong Qing followed them further and further away from the road. After walking for a while, they arrived at an open area, leaving one of them to watch her while the other continued walking ahead. It was so dark that Dong Qing couldn't see anything beyond half a meter. She wondered if Mo Sen would be able to find her. What if he couldn't? Would she die here without anyone knowing? Dong Qing began to suspect if this was all orchestrated by Deng Wei to get revenge for her mocking him at the banquet last night."
