Chapter 005: The Final Moments of Grandmother's Life

Upon opening it, there was a passage written on the top:

Will my grandmother's sudden myocardial infarction have anything to do with me

I was completely stunned. Seeing me in a daze, my grandmother said sternly: "Mingzi, what's wrong? Are you unhappy? Look at how beautiful that girl is with her thick eyebrows and big eyes, and she is willing to be with you, this poor boy. Why aren't you happy?"

Chen Wei chuckled in disbelief and said: Is it really necessary to resign over a minor issue? If there is an urgent matter, I can grant you a few more days off.

I appeared slightly pleased on the outside, but inwardly I was cursing. Even after working for half a year, I wouldn't accept a private jet. Counting the top three drivers, which one had a good ending

I hurriedly got off the bus and took a taxi directly to the central hospital. In the intensive care unit, I saw my grandmother; she was squinting, her face covered with an oxygen mask. She could no longer breathe on her own and required a ventilator to sustain her life

In childhood, I heard the elders say that just before a person dies, their vital energy is at its weakest, and they may see some unclean entities

This line of thinking is also incorrect, because when my grandmother passed away, I only called Chen Wei to request leave, and I only mentioned resigning today, specifically informing Chen Wei just ten minutes ago. During this time, we have been together, and this note was definitely not placed by him

I shouted loudly at the empty fields: Who the hell are you? If you have the guts, come out and confront me! Attacking an old lady, what the hell do you think you are!

Chen Wei and Tu Shu Leng asked: If everything is going well, why resign? Could it be due to family matters?

As for why the treatment of Bus 14 is so favorable, it may not be due to ghostly occurrences, but rather because there are now very few people who can drive such old-fashioned buses, making skilled drivers hard to come by, which in turn leads to better compensation

I nodded and said, "Brother Chen, that... I want to resign." I hesitated for a while, ultimately unable to find any excuse, so I decided to be straightforward.

"Mingzi, you need to come to the central hospital quickly. Your grandmother has suffered a sudden myocardial infarction, and this time she may not pull through." The call was from my father, his tone was not urgent, but it was filled with sorrow.

Before I could speak, Chen Wei began to talk incessantly, his words were like pearls, each sentence filled with meaning. Finally, he mysteriously smiled and said: Do you still remember when I mentioned the irregular distribution of benefits?

Bus No. 14, you must continue driving. If your body departs, let your soul take the wheel

My mood has improved significantly, and I have come to understand many things. The Buddha said, "Originally, there is nothing; where can dust settle?" Grandma has passed away, but in truth, she has gone to enjoy her blessings.

Upon returning to my dormitory, I began to pack my belongings, thinking to myself that if Chen Wei did not let me leave, I would simply walk away without my salary.

"Alright, let them in. I will give some instructions regarding the arrangements for the aftermath." Grandmother smiled at me and then glanced to my left.

The relatives in the ward and those in the picture book left with red eyes. My mother said: Your grandmother wants to talk to you alone

I walked out of the hospital room, and no one among my parents and relatives noticed me. After they rushed into the room, they quickly completed the discharge procedures and returned home

On the way back in the car, I kept thinking about what excuse to use to resign from Chen Wei. As I pondered, my phone suddenly rang

I nodded, and he said: after working for six months, the company will provide a private car; after working for one year, the company will provide a one-hundred-square-meter apartment. This is not just empty talk

I returned to the house store by car, and I hardly drank a sip of water. I went straight to Chen Wei's office, where he was filling out the vehicle dispatch form. Seeing me rush in anxiously, he looked up and asked: "Xiao Liu, what's the hurry? Have you taken care of things at home?"

My cheeks hurt, and I feel like crying. I walked to my grandmother's bedside, and she trembled as she raised her hand. I quickly grasped her withered palm, and she managed to squeeze out a smile, saying: "Mingzi, when will you find a partner?"

I said no, I have been occupied with other matters these past few days and cannot spare the time, which is why I am considering resigning

I glanced at the woman's ID card in the drawer, along with high heels, a ring, and a necklace. I thought to myself, why not just put these items on bus 14 and make a quick getaway with a high-profile exit.

Dear daughter, our little Mingming has always had a stubborn temperament since childhood. In the future, as you both live together, please pay more attention to him

My hand trembled, and the note fell to the ground. My breathing became increasingly heavy as I thought, who placed this note on my desk? Counting everyone in the bus station, the only person who could enter my dormitory is Chen Wei. He is the supervisor and has the dormitory key. Could it be that Chen Wei saw I wanted to leave and deliberately tried to scare me?

A tremor ran through my heart, and my arms began to shake; I even felt a chill running down my spine

I can't do it, I'll figure it out myself. I walked out of Chen Wei's office. At that moment, I felt that Chen Wei was quite unreliable.

22, huh? Oh, our little Ming is 26, hehe. A woman three years older brings wealth, and a man four years older brings noble offspring. Quite a match.

I called Chen Wei and briefly explained the situation. Without waiting for him to comfort me, I hung up the phone. My parents and relatives were busy arranging my grandmother's funeral, while I found myself alone in the boundless fields.

I found myself lost in thought, uncertain whether this was the result of a ghostly presence or merely a prank by others. The methods of murder are varied; for instance, Master Huang's sudden death could have been caused by an enemy secretly administering poison. As for Master Zhou's wife, it might have been a deliberate car accident. Regarding the first driver, it is possible that he dozed off and accidentally pressed the accelerator, leading to the death of a pregnant woman, and in an attempt to absolve himself, he insisted that the 14 bus had malfunctioned.

Now I cannot read the * picture * book, and I am curious if it could lead to loss of life. Among the first three drivers, it seems that Zhou Bingkun did not die, but in fact, his fate is the most tragic. He should have been the one to die, but out of love for his wife, he gave her a mysterious pearl necklace, resulting in her becoming his scapegoat

As soon as the call was connected, the first sentence I heard left me frozen in place

As I was tidying up, I caught a glimpse of an A4 sheet of paper placed on the table out of the corner of my eye. The paper was folded in half and positioned right in the center of the table. I was taken aback, looking around, thinking to myself that this paper was not placed here by me

Moreover, ever since I applied for the position of the No. 14 bus driver, my grandmother suddenly passed away from a myocardial infarction. I do not know whether this is related to the No. 14 bus, and I try my best to convince myself that this is merely a coincidence

My expression was unpredictable, and Chen Wei patted my shoulder, saying: "If you're tired, I'll give you another three days off. Go have some fun. Or how about Chen Ge takes you to the nightclub for a stroll? There are plenty of girls there, tsk tsk, each one more stunning than the last, with two bombs in front."

The inner struggle is relentless, and I earnestly advise myself, telling myself that as long as I do not see the so-called ghosts with my own eyes, I will not believe anything I hear!

I was taken aback at first, not understanding right away, thinking that my grandmother was asking me if I was in a relationship, as she has always been very concerned about this matter

I feel very helpless and terrified, and I do not know what will happen next. After observing a period of mourning at home for a week following my grandmother's passing, I finally returned to work.

Fortunately, I am neither married nor in a relationship. Although I am poor, I am not greedy. Whenever I come across unexpected valuables, I keep them, waiting for their rightful owner. Otherwise, I might not have survived to seek out Master Zhou.

Before I could respond, my grandmother tilted her head and looked to my left, asking: "My dear, how old are you this year"

Grandmother's tone was very stern, but in fact, she was quite happy. I thought that Grandmother was experiencing a moment of clarity, as she seemed confused, so I quickly nodded and said: Yes, I will treat her well

Grandmother was speaking to my left side from time to time, nodding and smiling occasionally. Finally, she extended her left hand, grasping at the air, and then reached out with her right hand to hold mine, subsequently bringing the two hands together

I took another look at the note; the handwriting on it was exceptionally elegant, while Chen Wei's handwriting was very messy, so it definitely was not written by Chen Wei

Grandmother has passed away. It is said that she left with a smile, and my parents and relatives do not understand why she was so happy

I do not know how long I scolded, but I squatted by the field and began to cry. I do not know whether my grandmother's death is related to me. From what my grandmother said, I feel that she was not confused before she left.

If we calculate this way, then any bus driver who has driven route 14 is destined to meet a fatal end

Mingzi, the girl has had a difficult life since childhood and wishes to live well with you, so you must treat her kindly
