I can rewind time to prevent death

Chapter 350: Chapter 287: Pleading (4400 words)_2

Looking at the situation now, Yuan Lison feared that Yan Junze would be displeased with him, rendering all his previous efforts to ingratiate himself a complete waste.

Of course, Yan Junze didn’t think so. He calmly opened the door to the bedroom and lay down on the bed after entering.

Wang Tao didn’t feel it was appropriate to follow him in, so he stood at the door to block for him.

Before long, Zhou Guhua and his wife ascended the stairs. Despite being out of breath, they moved quickly. Yuan Lison followed behind them with a gloomy face, casting occasional glances at the couple.

Wang Tao stretched out his hand to stop Zhou Guhua and his wife at the door, pretending not to recognize who they were, “Excuse me, what are you doing here?”

Zhou Guhua didn’t answer him. Instead, he stood at the doorway and looked around inside the room. Upon seeing only Yan Junze lying on the bed, he asked, “Excuse me, are you Yan Junze?”

Yan Junze, half-reclining, didn’t bother with small talk and responded directly, “You might as well go back, no need to say more. Zhou Jiajie brought this upon himself; nobody else is to blame for this matter.”

Zhou Guhua was taken aback and momentarily lost for words.

Wang Tao and Yuan Lison, standing at the doorway, pricked up their ears to listen carefully, and a big gossip symbol seemed to appear in their minds. Who says men don’t love gossip? It’s just a matter of timing.

Only Zhou Jiajie’s mother immediately retorted, “How can you say no one else is to blame? Young man, let’s reason this out. Does it take just one hand to clap? It’s said that there is no love without hate. Doesn’t that girl Bao Jie bear any responsibility?”

“Right, you are correct.” Yan Junze sat up, turned towards the door and said, “Bao Jie indeed had her faults; she brought it upon herself. But that’s only in our view. For the person involved, she has also spent days hating herself, several times trying to leave Zhou Jiajie, but what did your son do in the end?”

Pausing for a moment, Yan Junze continued, “Every time Bao Jie resolved to give up and leave Zhou Jiajie for good, your son would act like a ‘prodigal son’ who suddenly became good to her, reigniting her hope, even at the cost of various gifts to win back her love so that she could continue to treat him as before.”

Zhou Jiajie’s mother was stunned.

Yan Junze went on to say, “Let me put it this way, everyone knows dogs are very loyal to humans. For instance, if you raise a dog, and every time you cut it, then feed it and nurse its wounds, treating it well. After some time you cut it again, repeating the steps over and over, until finally, the dog doesn’t know whether to hate you or love you. There are only three possible outcomes: the dog goes mad, it kills its owner, or it commits suicide. Clearly, Bao Jie chose the latter.”

After hearing this, Wang Tao and Yuan Lison seemed to understand the situation, but they didn’t know why Zhou Jiajie’s parents were seeking out Yan Junze now.

“Regardless…” Zhou Guhua said, “My son already realizes his mistake. He’s just someone who erred, not a murderer. He shouldn’t have to suffer so much torment. Do you know how he has been these past few days? He has become inhuman, on the brink of mental collapse, to the point where even we can barely recognize him.”

“Damn, what the hell did Yan Junze do to that guy Zhou Jiajie?” Wang Tao felt bewildered hearing this.

Yuan Lison had the same thought, but neither felt it was their place to speak.

Yan Junze shrugged his shoulders: “I’ve already let him go. As long as he allows Bao Jie to truly feel loved, she will leave the very next moment she feels it. And she will never appear again.”

Those words turned Wang Tao and Yuan Lison pale in an instant, the two exchanging glances, suddenly feeling a chill run down their spines.

After talking for so long, it seemed that the suicidal girl turned into a strangeness, haunting this guy named Zhou Jiajie.

“He is so scared of that strangeness that he is about to die; how can he love? Tell me, how can he love?” Zhou Jiajie’s mother was nearly hysterical, her voice becoming shrill.

By this time, other people from the dormitory had come out to watch the excitement, whispering among themselves.@@novelbin@@

Yan Junze spread his hands, somewhat helpless: “That means he hasn’t fully realized and is still resisting. Tell him to let go first, then accept. If he can do that, Bao Jie might leave for good today instead of clinging on without end.”

“Do you think this could work?” Zhou Guhua said in a tone, seeking a compromise, “We could… cancel that… ban and seek other exorcists.”

Yan Junze shrugged: “Sorry, I didn’t impose that ban. You can go and talk to Captain Huo Zhisen.”

“We’ve already approached Huo Zhisen,” Zhou Guhua said urgently. “He told us the same thing, only he told us to come to you.”

“I see,” Yan Junze said with a tight-lipped smile, then fell silent.

The scene quieted down, with the couple outside the door looking earnestly at Yan Junze. But Zhou Guhua was very smart. He knew that at this time, neither status nor wealth should be used as a means of negotiation.

Because to an exorcist like Yan Junze, status, power, and wealth may very well be the least of his concerns, and mentioning them might even backfire.

After about five minutes of silence with neither the couple leaving nor Yan Junze speaking any further, Wang Tao and Yuan Lison stood there not knowing what to say. However, they had somewhat figured out the whole situation.

Both felt that it wasn’t clear-cut who was entirely right or wrong. From Yan Junze’s perspective, even considering the relationship with Zhou Dali and their past as schoolmates, he would side with Bao Jie.
