Zhang Jun smiled and said, “Not in the past, but we know each other now. I am Zhang Jun, a friend of your elder brother’s.” Lele acknowledged with an “Oh”, but then muttered to herself, “I do seem to know you though.”
Zhuang Wen was overwhelmed, and smile hadn’t faded from his face. He approached Zhang Jun and patted on his shoulder firmly. He tried to say something, but his tears almost welled up his eyes. After controlling his emotion, he sincerely said, “Bro, I couldn’t thank you more to express my gratitude. From now on, consider your problems as my problems, too!”
Even Lin Xian was shocked. She knew how much these words meant and was happy for Zhang Jun. To be fair, Zhuang Wen was always a cautious person. Now, he was sincerely grateful to Zhang Jun, and he would like to do him some favors in return.
In the past year, whenever he saw the helpless and horrified look on Lele’s face when she was mad, he felt great agony. After multiple unsuccessful treatments, he almost went crazy. He even paid handsomely for some so-called “Masters” to cure her.
Now that Lele had restored her health, he was finally relieved to have the burden removed from him. From his point of view, any form of gratitude would not be too much for Zhang Jun.
Zhang Jun smiled and said, “No one wants to see Lele suffer. It’s my pleasure to cure her, and I am obliged to do so. Don’t say such things now, bro, they make me feel uneasy.”
Zhuang Wen laughed and said, “Alright, you and Lin Xian are staying for the night. Let’s drink till we all pass out!”
Zhang Jun could understand the feelings of Zhuang Wen, and he laughed awkwardly as well, “I would really love to, but unfortunately, I’ve got something more important to deal with tomorrow, so I have to leave.”
He would have to treat Mr. Li from the capital tomorrow with Hua Buyi. He needed some rest to stay focused and avoid mistakes.
However, Lin Xian said, “Brother, it was such a joy that Lele had recovered. We should stay to celebrate, even though we might leave slightly earlier.” Zhang Jun thought for a while and figured that right, so he nodded without further refusing.
Zhuang Wen told Madam Wu to prepare dinner and called his parents immediately.
“What’s the matter, Zhuang Wen? Is Lele getting better?” A deep male voice came from the other side of the line. It was Zhuang Ziming, father of Zhuang Wen and Zhuang Lele and mayor of Donghai City.
“Father! Lele had recovered!” Zhuang Wen yelled excitingly.
“What? What did you say?” Zhuang Ziming who was reading the newspapers in the old mansion stood up quickly. He didn’t even notice knocking over the chair under him.
“I said Lele has recovered, completely!” Zhuang Wen laughed, “Father, bring mother here, and let’s celebrate together.”
“Alright, we’ll be right there!” Zhuang Ziming ended the call and ran towards the kitchen. After a while, a woman’s joyful weeping came from the kitchen.
In the dining room of Zhuang Wen’s house, various delicious food was served on the table as the guests gathered.
The old Zhuang couple and Zhuang Wen’s wife Shu Jie arrived one after another. The first thing they did when they came was to check if Lele had actually recovered. When they saw Lele’s naughty behavior, they were all relieved and made sure that Lele had come back to normal again.
Now, Zhang Jun was sitting at the prior seat. There was no way he could refuse when Zhuang Ziming and Zhuang Wen forced him into sitting here.
Zhuang Ziming was slightly chubby in his fifties, with a clean all-back hairstyle and white skin. He did not seem privileged as a government officer. He was generous, humorous and quite charismatic.
The father and the son of Zhuang family drank with Zhang Jun non-stop to thank him. Consequently, he drank a dozen shots of Baijiu and felt a bit dizzy.
Zhuang Ziming’s wife was Zhu Meiying, who worked in the City’s Human Resource Office. She sat next to Lele and wept non-stop as she saw her daughter recovered. Her gratitude to Zhang Jun was apparent.
After Zhu Meiying drank with Zhang Jun, she exclaimed, “Zhang, we all have to thank you. You have my word, if you need anything in the future, feel free to tell me.”
Zhang Jun laughed, “Auntie Zhu, you are too generous. I’m glad to help Lele.”
Shu Jie said as well, “This was not generous; it’s just that we want to thank you in any possible way.”
Shu Jie was not particularly pretty, but she was elegant and peaceful, like some rich ladies in the old times. After she finished, she continued to ask the question to which everyone wanted to know the answer, “Zhang Jun, what was the illness of our younger sister anyways? And how did you cure her?”
Zhang Jun fell into silence. It was not an easy question, for even he did not really know what happened for sure.
After thinking for a while, he said slowly, “Lele must have been in a trauma that some drastic horror was carved in her brain. The horror hides within her sub-conscious and would appear from time to time, which leads to her madness.”
After seeing the others looking confused, he explained further, “Let me put it this way. It’s like there’s a monster in Lele’s mind. The monster hides itself usually but comes out to haunt her from time to time. The time when the monster appears is the time that Lele has the attacks.”
Zhu Meiying frowned, “But, Lele did not suffer horrors ever since she was born. We love her dearly like a little princess, we won’t let that happen to her.”
Zhang Jun thought for a while and realized a possibility, thinking that he could enter Lele’s sub-conscious. After a moment of hesitation, he said, “It might not have actually happened. It might be in a dream.”
“A dream?” Everyone was amazed.
Zhang Jun was not a doctor. It was uneasy for him to explain so much. Consequently, he smiled and said, “I can’t determine the specific reason for that. Anyways, I have killed the monster in her once and for all.”
Zhuang Ziming exclaimed, “Zhang Jun, you have such fantastic therapy skills at such a young age, how respectable is that! We’ve consulted many doctors and professionals over the year, but none of them could cure Lele. They all say that Lele had mental problems and gave her suppressive medication, but it didn’t really work.”
Zhuang Wen interrupted bluntly, “There have been someone. That Master Sun can suppress the emotions of Lele, but he asked for too much and we can’t satisfy him.”
Knowing that there’s some Master Sun in this, Zhang Jun was curious and asked for the details.
Apparently, after half a year of Lele’s illness, a mid-aged man alleged to be Sun Wuji approached the family proactively and said that he could cure Lele. The Zhuang family was suspicious at first but they turned to believe him after seeing that he’s able to suppress the illness.
However, even though he could suppress it, he was not willing to cure it. He requested Zhuang Ziming to satisfy his few requirements to cure Lele’s madness.
Zhuang Ziming was extremely cautious, given that he’s able to be a provincial officer, and naturally this time he was cautious, too. She did not want her daughter to suffer from illness anymore, but he did not promise that man immediately.
After hearing this, Zhang Jun asked curiously, “Mr. Zhuang, what did that man ask for?”
Zhuang Ziming put the glass down and looked gloomy. He said, “Sun Wuji asked me to promote two nobodies to key officers in the bureau, and to suppress a vice-chairperson of a bureau in two years. To be frank, each of these matters is difficult for me and it would risk a ton.”
“More importantly, I realized there was something fishy. Being an ordinary person, why would he intervene with politics? For the least, this person deliberately uses Lele to achieve his target.”
Zhang Jun was shocked. He came with a thought, “This might not be a coincidence. Once Lele got sick, that Sun Wuji turned up with the requests. Perhaps Lele’s illness is related to him?”
Thinking of this, he became serious and said, “Mr. Zhuang, you need to be careful of that Sun Wuji. This man is quite sophisticated. He might be the reason for Lele’s illness.”
Zhuang Wen was triggered. He held his fists and said, “I was suspecting him as well. However, I realized that Lele never had any contact with him previously. He did not have the chance to do anything. So, I did not find out in detail. Now that you say it, did you discover anything?”
Zhang Jun sighed, “I’m not sure. I’ll ask Mr. Hua when I meet him tomorrow. He is really good at therapies. He must be able to see the truth.”
The dinner lasted till ten p.m. Lin Xian held the half-drunk Zhang Jun while Li Hu drove them back to the hotel.
Back at the hotel suite, Zhang Jun lied on the sofa lazily and stared at the ceiling. He was reviewing the past day. Discovering another see-through ability, mental X-ray, really surprised him.
Seeing Zhang Jun like that, Lin Xian felt a bit weird. She pinched Zhang Jun’s cheek and smiled, “Bro, you are getting more mysterious now. I can’t see through you anymore.”
Zhang Jun laughed, “Then give me a closer look.” He looked at the chest of Lin Xian, seeing the two white and round boobs. His heart beat strongly, as well as his dick. Lin Xian rolled her eyes. She did not give him further chances to admire her body as she went for the shower.
Zhang Ju sighed. With such a great beauty with him, how could he just watch but not touch? However, when he saw the dumb Li Hu standing in the living room, he smiled bitterly and lost lust.
Back to when Zhang Jun killed the ugly monster in Lele’s mind, a man with red face and white clothes was sitting with his legs folded in a dark room somewhere in the west suburb of Donghai.
Suddenly, evil wind blew in the sealed room. The man in white shook and seemed like he was in pain. He breathed heavily and opened his eyes, looking fierce. “Who is it that breaks my curse? Asshole! Wait till I find you and I will make living even worse than death for you.”
