Chapter 0999 – Foster Care
Every child chosen by the Underworld Fetus had a cripple in them, Chen Ge should be no exception, except for the fact that what he had lost might be different from other children.
Memories, shadows, and even his parents, Chen Ge had lost so much that he couldn’t be sure himself.
”There are still seven nights left, the truth is getting closer to me.”
Leaving the Western Suburb Peizhi Academy, Chen Ge returned to the New Century Paradise, things had been taken care of and he now needed to take a good rest.
After eight o’clock in the evening, Chen Ge’s cell phone suddenly vibrated, “Jiang Ming” sent him a message.
”I’ve arrived home.”
This was the signal that the cell phone ghost, Men Nan, and Chen Ge had agreed upon, and after Chen Ge received it, he stuffed all the employees he could take with him into his backpack and ran out of the haunted house.
At nine o’clock in the evening Chen Ge arrived at the center of the city, he didn’t go directly to the neighborhood where Jiang Ming lived, but ate at a nearby restaurant.
At 10:30 pm, Chen Ge received a message from Jiang Ming for the second time.
Only then did he move, slowly walking towards Jiang Ming’s neighborhood.
Yesterday, he had already stepped on the spot and knew where the dead spots of the surveillance were.
At 11:20 p.m., Chen Ge received a message from Jiang Ming for the third time, and he immediately took action, directly over the fence into the middle of the neighborhood, the whole set of actions in one fell swoop, only took a few seconds.
Chen Ge carried his backpack towards a certain building, and at the same time, Jiang Ming ran out of the building in a hurry, heading to the underground parking lot of the district.
After Jiang Ming drove away, Chen Ge walked to the entrance of the residential building, the security door installed at the building was opened from the inside, and Men Nan poked his head out, “The plan went well, Jiang Ming has been completely fooled by the cell phone ghost.”
”The child is already asleep, right?”
”En, take me upstairs.”
Chen Ge’s entire plan was very simple, after that child in Jiang Ming’s house went to sleep, the cell phone ghost would mimic Jiang Jiu and give him all sorts of commands through Jiang Ming’s cell phone, making him run around tonight.
”The building and his house use all combination locks, I already memorized the combination when he opened the door.” Men Nan led Chen Ge to the fourth floor and opened the door to his room.
”Wait a moment.” Chen Ge took out the prepared shoe covers and gloves from his backpack and put them on before entering the house.
Although this was one of the top upscale neighborhoods in Hanyang River, Jiang Ming’s house was decorated in a very average way, with many of the furniture being worn and old, which didn’t go well with the overall style, and gave people the impression as if they had intentionally placed those old pieces of furniture in the most conspicuous places.
”All day today, Jiang Jiu didn’t contact Jiang Ming, he behaved normally, just like an ordinary Paradise employee.”
”Is there any information about that child in Jiang Ming’s cell phone? For example, who is the child’s mother, and when did the child start having problems with both ears?” Chen Ge whispered.
”The cell phone is clean, there aren’t any clues, and I can’t find any photos related to that child.”
”It’s equivalent to saying that the existence of that child is a secret, if Jiang Ming’s ex-girlfriend didn’t see it unintentionally, I’m afraid that no one would know that Jiang Ming’s family has a child with the same name as him.”
”It can be understood that way.”
All the information about the child was blank, Chen Ge could only rummage around the house for clues, and in order to save time, he released Old Zhou San as well.
There were no lights on in the house, and a dark shadow was flickering.
After a few minutes, Chen Ge really did make a discovery, he found a crumpled up letter in the garbage can in the study.
The content of the letter was probably that the sender needed more money, and if he didn’t give it, he was going to pick up the child and not let the child continue to live here.
”Using the child as a bargaining chip?” Chen Ge looked at the letter paper, “The child is living with Jiang Ming, but I can’t find any information related to the child’s mother, could the one who sent this letter be the child’s mother? Is the child Jiang Ming’s biological child?”
Chen Ge and the staff all stood in the study, they had nothing else to gain but this letter.
”Regardless of whether it’s biological or not, there must be things in this house that can prove the child’s identity, did Jiang Ming put these things in Jiang Jiu’s place? Or is there a secret room in the house?”
After searching again, Old Zhou finally found a hidden safe behind the bookshelves.
For Chen Ge, he didn’t need to open the safe to take out the contents, he only needed to let his employees enter the safe to check it out.
After ten seconds or so, Old Zhou climbed out from the crack of the safe: ”This child is not related to Jiang Ming or Jiang Jiu, he is someone else’s foster child in their home, and there is a foster care agreement in the safe. As long as that couple agrees to let the child live here, Jiang Jiu will pay them five thousand dollars every month. Looking at the signature, the child’s real father is called Jiang Dawu.”
”Any other findings?”
”There is a clay sculpture in the safe with the word Jiang Ming written on it, so we can be sure that Jiang Ming is one of the children chosen by the Underworld Fetus. Also in the safe was the child’s identification, his real name is Jiang Ming, instead that employee from the Virtual Future Paradise changed his name.” Old Zhou rationalized his thoughts, “Jiang Jiu’s godson’s original name was Jiang Wei, it was only from the time Jiang Ming was fostered in his home that he changed his name to Jiang Ming.”
”Why would an adult change his name to be the same as a child? Could it be that he wanted to use it to take away what belonged to Jiang Ming? There’s nothing to take away from that child, except for the scourge of the Underworld Fetus.” There was no love in the world without a reason, Jiang Jiu must have wanted something from the child, which was why he kept it in his home.
”Maybe Jiang Jiu is trying to count on the Underworld Tire, he wants to be the Underworld Tire’s father.” Old Zhou analyzed.
”Both Jiang Jiu and that evil soul in Jia Ming’s body were left behind by the Underworld Tire, he shouldn’t have the guts to disrupt the Underworld Tire’s layout.” Chen Ge thought from his own perspective, as long as a normal person should not choose to get involved with the Underworld Tire.
”That’s not certain, in case Jiang Jiu underestimated the terror of the Underworld Tire and the Underworld Tire underestimated the greed of the living.”
”Makes sense.” Chen Ge nodded appreciatively at Lao Zhou, he felt that Lao Zhou’s future was unlimited, “The cell phone ghost’s trick of transferring the tiger away from the mountain can only be used once, when it’s dawn, Jiang Ming and Jiang Jiu will surely find out about the problem after they meet and communicate, so we only have this one chance tonight.”
There were no other clues in the house, so Chen Ge decided to personally go and take a look at the child.
Gently pushed open the bedroom door, Chen Ge looked toward the house, the little boy has fallen asleep, he did not realize that at this time there are more “people” in the house.
In order to prevent Jiang Ming from suddenly waking up and being scared, Chen Ge put Lao Zhou and the others into the comic book, and only entered the hut with Men Nan.
On the surface, the child looked very ordinary, no different from any other child, and could not be associated with the dreadful fetus of the underworld.
Chen Ge and Men Nan went to the window and they waited until zero midnight.
The room slowly changed, and a door silently appeared next to the boy’s bed.
