I can rewind time to prevent death

The mother and daughter lay side by side, not regaining consciousness for quite a while.

“No, this might… not be caused by your grandfather’s faked death yesterday, call the Exorcist,” Meng Yongshou told Meng Hang.

His gaze was unfocused, as if he was speaking to himself.

Meng Hang quickly nodded, “Right, Dad, call 4747 immediately.”

Meng Yongshou said nothing further and immediately walked to the bedside table, picking up the smartphone that was placed there.

After a moment’s thought, he swiftly dialed a series of numbers and put the phone to his ear.

Soon the call connected, and Meng Yongshou spoke into the phone. In less than a minute, he hung up.

Turning around, he saw his son staring at him in astonishment, “Dad, what are you doing?”

“Calling the Exorcist,” said Meng Yongshou.

Meng Hang exclaimed in surprise, “No, you dialed… the food delivery number, you just ordered takeout.”

“Nonsense,” Meng Yongshou became angry, “I don’t have time to joke with you right now. I have a contact in the city security system. I didn’t dial 4747 directly, because that would mean waiting in line, and who knows when it would be our turn. I just informed Uncle Jiang who works at the security bureau, and he will arrange it for us immediately.”

“No, no, Dad, you really did just dial the food delivery number,” Meng Hang gesticulated with his hands, “You ordered a serving of stir-fried rice noodles, light on the salt, and added a chicken leg.”

“What nonsense?!” Meng Yongshou’s eyes went round with fury as he glared at Meng Hang, “You little rascal, are you possessed by a Spirit Possession like your mother and sister?”

Seeing Meng Yongshou’s anger, Meng Hang immediately fell silent, standing aside and not daring to speak anymore.

After a moment, Meng Yongshou shifted his attention back to the unconscious Pan Ya and Meng Tingting, rushing downstairs to have the maid bring up a basin of hot water so he could apply hot compresses to Pan Ya and Meng Tingting’s heads with a towel.

Then he called the private doctor.

During this time, Meng Yongshou noticed his son had disappeared. Though he was just angry with him, he still worried that something had happened to Meng Hang. He went to his son’s bedroom to check but found no one there.

After asking the downstairs maid, nobody had seen the boy leave the house.

While circling the first floor, he finally heard someone talking in a low voice inside the maids’ bathroom.

There, in the bathroom where Meng Hang could not be found anywhere else, he was indeed hiding. Meng Hang had clearly seen that his father, Meng Yongshou, had not dialed 4747 or contacted his old friend for a shortcut; he had actually made a food delivery call.

His father definitely had a problem and even got angry after his own objections, so Meng Hang dared not mention it in front of him.

But since Meng Yongshou did not call 4747, he had to make the call himself, determined to report the strangenesses at home to the Exorcist.

Yet he didn’t dare to make the call in front of Meng Yongshou, fearing that his father, who seemed to be attached by a Possession Spirit, might harm him.

Therefore, Meng Hang chose to hide in the downstairs maids’ bathroom to make the call.

Unexpectedly, although he was hiding here, his father found him. Meng Yongshou couldn’t understand what his son was up to, acting so sneakily all of a sudden.

Right now, he silently put his ear to the bathroom door, holding his breath to listen to the sound inside.

Meng Hang quickly connected the call, looking back guiltily at the bathroom door, which he had locked from the inside, preventing anyone from entering.

As the call went through, the voice on the other end said, “Hello, welcome to ‘Full Yet?’ Takeout. Um, your previous delivery address has already been displayed, what would you like to order?”

Hearing the voice, Meng Hang felt nothing amiss, but he lowered his voice, as if speaking with an Exorcist, and said, “I’d like a bowl of Wang’s Beef Noodles, original broth please.”

Meng Yongshou: “…”

The voice on the phone replied, “Okay, sir, anything else you’d like to add?”

Meng Hang looked back cautiously once more at the bathroom entrance, then continued in a tone that was both solemn and pleading, “Less spicy, more green onions and garlic, and add a few slices of pickled vegetables.”

“Would you like to add an egg?”

“Add one.”

“Fried or marinated?”

“Marinated.”

After the call ended, Meng Hang pressed the hang-up button, thinking to himself that he had finally reported to the Exorcist.

He let out a long sigh of relief.

Outside the bathroom.

Meng Yongshou’s expression was just like Meng Hang’s from earlier, utterly dumbfounded, as he looked up.

At this moment, he felt a complex mix of emotions.

“This fool of a son, locking himself in the bathroom like a thief just to order a bowl of beef noodles with a marinated egg, what’s he thinking?”

Shortly after, Meng Yongshou heard Meng Hang start to urinate, so he quietly left and returned to the second floor.

Meanwhile, the maid was still applying hot towels to Pan Ya and Meng Tingting in the bedroom, but luckily, both had opened their eyes, and although they were both complaining of dizziness, at least they were conscious.

Soon after, Meng Hang came upstairs nonchalantly and entered the master bedroom.

“Where have you been just now?” Meng Yongshou asked on purpose.

He looked at his son with eyes that could hardly disguise the profound, coddling affection for someone he thought was intellectually challenged.

Meng Hang dodged his gaze as if consciously avoiding it and replied, “I stepped out into the yard for some fresh air.”

Just then, the private doctor arrived. As the Meng Family’s specially appointed doctor, he was very dedicated, always giving priority to the Meng family’s needs no matter how busy he was.

After all, the salary provided by the Meng family each month was not low, and who would want to fight with money?

Every time this Dr. Li came over, he would bring necessary medical equipment for physical examination and some emergency medicines in his car. Listening to heartbeats, taking blood pressure, and checking blood sugar could be done right there at home.
