Let's give space a touch of Chinese horror!

Chapter 46 The Second Gift

"Oh, it was you..."

Jiang Yi lowered her head and looked at the little boy standing beside her, who was not even as tall as her waist.

The little boy was so thin that you could see the shape of his shoulder blades and ribs through his clothes, like a small skeleton barely covered by skin.

He was wearing a dusty, worn-out short-sleeved T-shirt with a badly worn collar, and a pair of obviously ill-fitting brown overalls; his clothes were covered in mud spots and various dark and light grime stains, and there were several tears in the cuffs and hem.

His arms and legs, exposed outside his short-sleeved shirt and trousers, revealed only overly defined joints and bruises and scars covering his sallow, malnourished skin.

"elder sister……"

The little boy tilted his head back.

His face was small, with a pointed chin that made his eyes appear unusually large. His tawny hair, like dry straw, lay tangled on his forehead and around his ears, with suspicious, dried dark stains stuck in some places.

He held the filthy ball, his almost black eyes like two bottomless wells, staring intently at the woman in crimson: "Can you play with me?"

Let's play together!

"don't want."

The woman in crimson coldly rejected him.

The little boy was stunned.

It seemed to be the first time he had been rejected so decisively, so after staring blankly at Jiang Yi for a few seconds, his big, dark eyes suddenly narrowed, and emotions began to surge wildly within them.

Then, he curled his lip downwards and exclaimed, "Wow!"

A piercing, ear-tearing wail erupted from his small chest.

His body trembled violently, his thin shoulders heaving, making him look pitiful; but there were no tears in his eyes, only a raging, almost insane, resentment churning in his pupils.

The shrill, flat crying sounded like rusty iron scraping against glass, and even the lights in the room began to flicker in sync with his cries.

"Ugh...it's so noisy..."

As Jiang Yi listened to the wailing and crying around him, he began to consider the possibility of having the system put him back in.

Ugh……

She sighed deeply.

If she had known it would turn out like this, she wouldn't have scared Tan Yajun so much...

If this is the gift that person left for her...

Isn't this gift a little too noisy?

"System, can't we really put him back?" Jiang Yi asked for the umpteenth time.

"Host, it really can't be put back in." The system replied for what felt like the umpteenth time.

Ok……

Jiang Yi glanced at the little boy who seemed tireless from crying all this time, and finally gave in: "Alright, alright, stop crying..."

"I'll accompany you right away—"

As if suddenly remembering something, Jiang Yi abruptly changed the subject before she could finish speaking.

"I'll take you, let's go somewhere else to have fun..."

"The houses there are big, and there are lots of people to play with!"

……

"Boss! Boss!"

Luo Feng barged into Li Xingzhuo's office with great enthusiasm and plopped down in the chair opposite him without any hesitation: "Have you heard?!"

"Something terrible has happened to the Jiang family!"

"Oh?" Li Xingzhuo didn't even look up from the documents, responding flatly, "What happened?"

Luo Feng didn't mind his lukewarm reaction and started chattering away: "Didn't the Jiang family hold a banquet a few days ago? I heard from the people who went that it was incredibly exciting!"

"The wife of the second son of the Jiang family actually said at the banquet, in front of so many people, that their dead niece had come to seek revenge!"

Of course, Luo Feng now knows that the person he rescued from the space pirate ship is Jiang Yi, and that Jiang Yi has been staying with them all this time and hasn't left the room much, so he knows that the "revenge" thing is definitely a fabrication.

However, the word "revenge"... is quite nuanced.

Under what circumstances would the word "revenge" come into use?

Everyone present was shrewd and immediately realized that there must be something fishy about the death of the original heir of the Jiang family.

"Boss, you said... Oh, thank you."

Luo Feng picked up the water Li Jianglan brought him and took a sip to moisten his throat, which was a little dry from talking. "Have they done too many bad things?"

That's why, at the crucial moment, they unexpectedly crashed and burned.

He was initially disappointed that "Jiang Yi" missed the trip; now it seems that it's good that "Jiang Yi" didn't go back.

Li Xingzhuo had already heard Li Jianglan report this matter once.

Although Li Jianglan mentioned this to report that Jiang Yi had not yet used the quantum computer they sent, the Jiang family still suffered a setback.

Surprisingly, Li Xingzhuo showed no impatience.

After all, you never get tired of hearing about your enemy's downfall, no matter how many times you hear it.

"And there's more..."

Of course, Luo Feng wouldn't have come after only finding out this little bit of information that everyone already knew. "Then, it seems like even the heavens couldn't stand what the second son of the Jiang family had done, because the Jiang family has been plagued by bad luck lately!"

"I heard that the second son of the Jiang family's daughter fell into a coma after the banquet."

"I don't know how he fainted, but I heard he hit his head."

"Then there's the second son of the Jiang family. He's a little better off than Jiang Shuyue, except he's lame."

"But strangely enough, as soon as his leg is healed, he will fall again and break his leg again."

"It's said..." Luo Feng leaned closer mysteriously, "that every time Jiang Shu breaks his leg, it's in the same spot!"

"Isn't this strange?"

"I heard that after falling several times, Jiang Shu is now afraid to receive direct treatment and only uses a wheelchair when he goes out!"

"But that's nothing compared to what's really exciting!"

"It was Jiang Lifeng who announced it publicly: his wife has gone mad! Aren't these people supposed to be the most concerned about their image? How could this happen..."

"Heh..." Li Xingzhuo finally raised his head and let out a mocking laugh: "Of course he would say that Tan Yajun is crazy."

Otherwise, are they planning to keep Jiang Yi alive and admit that they killed her in order to climb the ranks?

"That's true." Luo Feng sighed, then immediately said with great interest, "You guys didn't see it! I ran into Jiang Lifeng outside just now, tsk tsk... he looked so haggard!"

"You can still see scratches on his face, supposedly from his crazy wife."

"I also heard someone ask him why he looked so pale, whether he hadn't slept well, and Jiang Lifeng said that he could always hear the sound of a ball bouncing at home at night."

"I think they've just done too many bad things!"

"I heard that the Jiang family's stock price has been falling recently."

Li Jianglan, who had listened to the whole thing, grunted and added, "No wonder I heard that the Jiang family has been trying to develop in the gaming industry recently." It turns out that they were in a hurry because their own company had run into trouble.

"Oh, right, right!"

Luo Feng then seemed to remember why he had come, and suddenly slapped his forehead, "I almost forgot!"

"Boss, I heard that the Jiang family has also contacted that game we've been eyeing, the one called 'Double Happiness'."

"Shouldn't we make a move?"
