The male protagonist survives in the infinite game by supporting his wife

Chapter 133: Deceased Wife (21)

Separated by a wall, two worlds.

The corridor behind the wall was covered with dusty burgundy Persian-style carpet, and the patterns were barely discernible.

Shekh saw large spider webs in the corners of the wall, and the dust in the air was blown away by his footsteps.

Walking in this corridor is like swimming in a pond full of plankton, and the dust blowing in your face is so intense that you need to turn your head to avoid it.

She opened the door of a room, which contained a bed and furniture. "It's all dusty, and no one has used this place for a long time."

Shi Jinzhe wiped the dust on the table with his fingers. It felt very soft and smooth, and was different from the thick dust that contained various impurities.

"Shekh, smell this, does it smell like incense ash?"

Sheh approached with disdain and waited for two minutes before saying, "It smells very faintly of incense ash. It has been lying here for a long time and the smell has completely evaporated."

Shi Jinzhe clapped his hands twice to shake off the dust: "These are all completely abandoned rooms, but they still need to be distinguished. There must be secrets in this half of the corridor. Let's check it out."

The room was large and had several cabinets. Shi Jinzhe would open a drawer at the nearest location.

There were some peeling paint chips inside and nothing else.

Turn to the second page and you will see a few black rubber bands and black hairbands. They are the kind of mesh hairbands that female employees working at the counter wear to maintain their hairstyle and appearance.

The mesh elastic band is very convenient to hold the hair in a bun, but not many people use it now.

Further down, there was nothing in the third cabinet.

There are some coins in the fourth cabinet.

After searching through the wardrobe and desk, he turned to look at the bedside table.

"This room is fully furnished with a bed, sofa, coffee table, desk, and TV cabinet. It is quite different from other rooms in Peace Hotel."

"It doesn't look like an ordinary guest room. It looks more like someone has been living here for a long time." Sheh opened the bedside table. "Even the quality of the bedside table is better than the room we stayed in. This one has a door and the material is thicker."

"There's something inside." Shi Jinzhe took out a book from the bedside table. The cover was yellow, and the side that touched the wooden board was a little moldy, and the pages were stuck together.

"The Path to Educating a Genius - Find the Right Method, and You Can Cultivate the Best Students", author: Wang Luan.

Shi Jinzhe asked Sheh to hold the book for him, and then he opened the pages and started reading.

"This is a book I wrote based on my personal experience as a parent. My daughter is looking at..."

Sheh: “It’s Manager Zhang’s name.”

"It matches what Liu Run said, but it was not written by Manager Zhang, but by her mother Wang Luan." Shi Jinzhe continued reading.

After reading several pages in a row, I finally understood why everyone here felt sorry for Manager Zhang and thought it was not worth it for her to be a hotel manager.

Zhang Wang skipped grades and was admitted to the best university in the country at the age of twelve. Unlike other child prodigies, she was not only academically savvy but also had strong self-care abilities, and did not show the kind of forced maturity reported in the news.

He has perfect learning ability but no ability to live a normal life.

In the book, she is studious, optimistic and cheerful, polite to others, and organized in her work. She can be said to be the perfect child in the eyes of all parents.

When Wang Luan wrote this book, Zhang Wang was 20 years old and had completed half of his doctorate.

"This shouldn't be Wang Luan's boasting. I have managed a hotel before. Zhang Wang is very professional and has good business skills. She must have specially studied it."

"She's a very nice person, too." Sheh has never felt any malice from Manager Zhang. This person has almost no shortcomings.

I don't know what he was thinking about, but Shehe suddenly laughed, "Fortunately, the Cheng family didn't adopt a child prodigy like her, otherwise the shadow left by such a genius would have caused Cheng Youan to collapse on the first day he returned home, without having to wait for several months."

Shi Jinzhe was amused by her and continued reading.

"When she was 18, her father died for his bravery. She accepted the government commendation on her father's behalf. After she came back, she told me, 'Mom, I will study harder. Only by climbing higher can the perpetrators receive the punishment they deserve.'"

"I worked hard these years and quit my job to raise her. After her father passed away, I lost my source of income. My good friend felt sorry for me and bought me a room in the hotel she runs. Although it is a bit noisy to live with those guests, which is not good for the child's study, I am still very grateful for her help."

"The references to this friend and hotel are very clear. They are Lu Xiaohui and the Peace Hotel, and Wang Luan..."

"That bridesmaid." Sheh continued, "This room is where Wang Luan lived."

"This place is no different from half a home."

"But what she said..." Shekh turned the page back and thought about the words again:

"Don't you think it's a bit weird? It's like saying that Lu Xiaohui could have done better but didn't. Also, in Wang Luan's eyes, Lu Xiaohui's help was a kind of pity for her. This gratitude is not sincere at all."

"Are you trying to say that Wang Luan is a little inconsistent? That's because what she wrote contains some personal emotions, so it's a bit strange to read."

Shi Jinzhe asked Sheh to turn to the next page. "Look here, there's not much written about her parenting methods, but there is a lot written about her best friend's love life."

"My good friend Ms. Lu has been neglected by her husband for many years and has no children, so she likes my daughter Zhang Wang very much. She often says with envy that it would be great if she could have such an outstanding daughter."

"Wang Luan doesn't like Lu Xiaohui." Shehe said and then complained, "Can such a low-quality book be published? Then I can write it too."

Shi Jinzhe held back and said, "Shehe's fragmented character would be better to draw talismans instead of publishing a book. The sales will surely be good."

There was a moment of silence, and Sheh's sixth sense suddenly struck him: "Are you talking about me in your heart? I think I heard it."

……

Shi Jinzhe really wondered if she had some kind of mind-reading ability.

"I just said in my heart that your handwriting is special." He got back to the point: "Wang Luan is trying to gain a sense of superiority from Lu Xiaohui. Remember that photo? The bright red lipstick. She doesn't have low EQ, she just wants to outdo Lu Xiaohui."

Sheh was speechless: "What kind of friends are they?"

"It happened before." Shi Jinzhe said, "Wang Luan's dislike always shows up in the smallest details. I don't know what Lu Xiaohui would think if she found out. She might have been killed by Lu Xiaohui."

"What about Manager Zhang? She has lived in harmony with the murderer of her mother for several years. Could it be that she is waiting here for revenge? She also helped Lu Xiaohui do so many things to protect people. Wouldn't it be a greater blow to Lu Xiaohui if all these people died in the hotel?"

Shi Jinzhe put the book away and rubbed his temple with his thumb:

"I found that no matter how we push it, we can't get around Manager Zhang. The problem is that no matter how we look at it, it's hard for her to fit into the relationship between these three people..."
