Chapter 008 The Last Bus Must Continue to Operate

I asked with a smile: Brother Chen, I have been bold since childhood, so feel free to speak your mind.

I asked Chen Wei Man, "Brother Chen, why must the No. 14 bus continue its route? Has something happened?"

After meeting that gentleman at a Western restaurant in the city, he mentioned that there has been no progress in the matter and that no investigation has yielded any results. I nodded, took the identification card, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then left

I was about to get out of the car, but just as I left the driver's seat, I was suddenly startled. The moment I looked at Chen Wei, every hair on my body stood on end

I thought to myself that at this moment, I should lay my cards on the table. However, I cannot be too direct in my approach. I said to Brother Chen, could you explain to me why parking is not allowed at the station?

The next day, I called the suit-clad gentleman and informed him that I still needed Ge Yu's ID card. He instructed me to meet him at a restaurant in the city.

If it is said that Ge Yu did not deceive me, then what the man in the suit said is completely nonsense. Ge Yu has never died, and she is not a ghost. So why would this man in the suit want to deceive me?

Ge Yu is a clever young lady. She approached me, clicking her red high heels, and asked, "Did I leave my ID card in your car?" I replied that I had been unable to find it.

If this move were to truly succeed, it would be utterly shocking! It can be described as a scheme within a scheme

In the entire passenger station, he is the supervisor who must stay here, while the other drivers are all in their thirties or forties and usually go home to stay, after all, they have wives and children. In this entire passenger station, only the two of us stay here. Chen Wei often finds it boring to drink alone, so he always drags me along to drink with him

I gritted my teeth and resolved that I must get to the bottom of this matter

Chen Wei was taken aback and asked: When you returned, was there anyone special who got on the bus?

No wonder that after six months of work, one can afford a private car, and after a year, a house. It seems that public buses must be operated, but it is indeed difficult to find drivers familiar with the Blue Star public transport system now

Chen Wei took a sip of liquor, smacked his lips, and said: "Xiao Liu, if you trust your brother Chen, don't ask about this matter. Sometimes knowing too much can be counterproductive. Don't you think so?"

How did he know about these matters

Chen Wei further stated: With such substantial assets, why does the company still retain this old-fashioned bus? I tell you, because this No. 14 bus must continue to operate! If no one drives it, a major incident will occur!

I nodded

I have always gotten off at the Academy Intersection, haven't you noticed? The Academy Intersection is in front of Meili City, which means that when I encountered the ghost wall that night, Ge Yu had already gotten off the car

I have a vague sense that this is a significant matter, and I cannot fully trust everything that everyone says, nor can I completely dismiss it; I can only rely on my own feelings to discern the truth.

This

This journey was quite stable, and I did not encounter any strange occurrences. After I drove back, I did not immediately get out of the car, but instead sat quietly in the vehicle, reflecting on m.hetushu.com. The last time I committed a taboo, I encountered a ghost wall, and then the man in the suit appeared, causing the ghost wall to disappear.

As I started the car, I turned to Ge Yu and smiled, saying: "Beautiful lady, there is no one in the car, why not sit next to me and chat for a while"

She grasped my hand again and placed it on her waist, asking: "Is it cold?" This slender and soft waist, I replied, "Not cold."

I was taken aback; was he really fainting? I shook Chen Wei and found that he didn't seem to be pretending. After all, we had drunk together many times. I noticed a peculiar aspect about Chen Wei: he had a low tolerance for alcohol, yet he was addicted to drinking, often getting drunk night after night

My mind was once again in disarray. After getting off the car, Chen Wei happened to return from the restroom, wrapped his arm around my shoulder, and insisted on going for a drink

I recalled the young man who handed me a cigarette; he once gave me a Crystal Palace brand cigarette, which indeed ceased production over a decade ago. Could it be that the young man is a ghost

While drinking, I asked him: "Brother Chen, today an elderly woman was burning joss paper in the middle of the road, and I almost hit her, so I stopped the car for a moment before reaching the station"

Unfortunately, my grandmother has already passed away, and I can no longer ascertain the specific appearance of the female ghost she encountered in the hospital during her lifetime

Wait a moment!

That ID card was not intentionally thrown onto the car by her; it was lost by her inadvertently. Moreover, she is not a ghost

Ge Yu walked over with a smile, took my hand, and asked: "Is it cold?" Her small hand was warm, and I replied, "Not cold."

We talked for a long time. When she got off at the intersection of Xueyuan Road, I told her that I would bring her my ID card in the next couple of days, and then I asked for her phone number. I wasn't trying to pursue her; I just wanted to get closer to her, to find a breakthrough from her, and see what was hidden behind it all.

Ge Yuzheng was about to move back when she suddenly froze. After a moment, she laughed charmingly and said: "You really took me for a ghost, didn't you? How amusing"

Seeing my foolish expression, she chuckled and said: "Would you like to touch my chest to verify if it's real?"

Who is deceiving me? What is hidden behind this?

"Uh, Ge Yu, you really aren't a ghost?" I asked tentatively, not knowing why this woman seemed to possess an enchanting quality. The scene from just now left me in a daze, lingering in my thoughts. I gradually found myself feeling less afraid.

At this point, Chen Wei collapsed onto the table, completely intoxicated and oblivious to his surroundings, snoring loudly.

Supporting Chen Wei back to his room, I returned to my own dormitory. Lying on my bed, I found it difficult to fall asleep. Chen Wei should not be a ghost; the accuracy of what he said tonight is still open to debate. However, I feel that he is a person with secrets, he must be!

Not right! I still view the situation too simply!

"Hey, Xiao Liu, what are you doing in the car? Come to my office in a bit, let's have a couple of drinks together." Chen Wei came out of the office to go to the restroom, and as he passed by the vehicle, he saw me sitting motionless in the driver's seat and called out from a distance.

Perhaps I was too engrossed at that moment? Or maybe I entered a delusion on m.hetushu.com?

As I reached into my pocket, I suddenly remembered that my ID card had been taken away by the man in the suit, so I said: Is your ID card missing?

At this point, Chen Wei sighed and then lowered his voice to say to me: "Xiao Liu, to be honest, everyone in the industry knows how strong the capabilities of our Dongfeng Yuntong Company are, right"

I thought to myself that after obtaining my ID card, I would directly contact Ge Yu, so I tidied myself up a bit and applied some hair gel

She walked to the back row, sat down, and crossed her legs in a very alluring manner, leaving me sitting in the driver's seat in a daze. I turned around and asked: How did you get out of the car that day?

I thought for a moment and said: This is not the case

If it is said that Ge Yu is deceiving me, throwing her ID card onto the car and then deliberately claiming that she lost it accidentally in order to strike up a conversation with me, what could be the purpose of such an action? Is she trying to pursue me? I don't believe that a goddess like her would be interested in a loser like me

Chen Wei must have spoken the truth after drinking

My mind is in disarray, and I slowly feel myself sinking into an unfathomable vortex. There must be some conspiracy at play here; perhaps one party is deceiving me, using me, or maybe both sides are deceiving me, while I remain completely in the dark.

Ge Yu indeed possesses a strong presence and exudes a goddess-like aura, as she confidently stepped into the passenger seat while wearing her small high heels

The reasoning is not without merit, but this statement is undoubtedly nonsense. I have been kept in the dark, much like a laboratory mouse subjected to experiments. Why don't you try experiencing this feeling yourself?

Are you deceiving me about my body and the books? I don't think that thing is a calcium tablet

For instance, the clothes being worn are styles from over a decade ago, the cigarettes being smoked are from a brand that was discontinued over a decade ago, or perhaps... no shadow? Chen Wei's expression was very serious

What makes a person special? In what way are they special

Could it be that Chen Wei is a ghost

She was taken aback and asked in surprise: How did you know my name is Ge Yu

I took this opportunity to extract all of Chen Wei's words. With bleary eyes, Chen Wei said: Ah, over a decade ago, something once happened on this bus...

I am just torn between whether the suit-clad gentleman or Ge Yu is deceiving me, while I have completely excluded Chen Wei from the situation. As the passenger transport supervisor, Chen Wei sits in the office all day without moving. He has never driven Bus 14, yet why does he advise me that we are not allowed to stop before the station? Moreover, why is there a limit of ten minutes for stopping at the coking plant?

I nodded mechanically as if enchanted, while Ge Yu, exuding a goddess-like aura, said: "What a beautiful thought"

Chen Wei finally felt relieved and said: Remember, you must stop at the station in the future; this is no joke

If we do not approach this matter with conventional thinking and consider it from a different perspective, it is possible that the man in the suit is actually a ghost. The phenomenon of being trapped in a ghostly loop could have been orchestrated by him. He first leads me into this ghostly loop, and when my nerves are on the brink of collapse, he then reveals himself to help me escape the loop, thereby gaining my trust

At present, I have faintly deduced some clues; there must be ghosts, and not just one. However, who they are remains unclear.

Are you trying to cheat me out of my money? I am very poor.
