Chapter 27 (2/2)

”Co-workers?” I couldn't help raising my voice

”That's right, co-workers You, and this ferret” Wen Jiubo pointed at me, then pointed at Bai ”I've already previously said that Bai's cultivation wasn't enough Trying to turn himself into that old y from me As repayain So, just treat him as your shi+di[1]”

So when Wen Jiubo had told Grandma Li that the 'payment has already been made', he meant this

”Who wants a weasel for a shi+di! You really are such a tightwad It's not enough to just exploit e you with abuse” I couldn't help ridiculing him, ”Also, what can a weasel even do?”

Bai smacked me in the face with his paw ”Weasel this, weasel that, I already said I'ot us a case and it's only my first day!”

”Oh? A case?” Wen Jiubo looked soht? What sort of case?”

Bai searched left and right and then soed to actually pull out a sheet of paper fro it to Wen Jiubo

Wen Jiubo unfolded the note and I went to his side to look, curious

It was ale ritten in a messy, haphazard manner:

Little ferret:

hello! The teachers at school always say that you need to say 'hello' when you start a letter Little ferret, recently I've had a very troubling problem, but I also don't have anyone to talk to, thus I can only talk to you about it We live in a very big house, inside there'sWe're a very happy fa treatin our house recently My rooht There are also people who coht as well I woke up once at night and saw a black shadow hovering next to my

Little ferret, I' and I really wish you can help me!

That was the entirety of the letter's contents Fro, it seemed like it ritten by a child

”Ahem It's like this” Bai cleared his throat, ”After I used up my cultivation last tith Not far from that place lived a family and I would often steal so one of these tiirl had two sht years I guess as a sort of repayo and play with the little girl and she would also feedto me about how her house was haunted and then wrote irl, how could I bear for her to be harassed by ghosts? So, I brought this letter to Mr Wen, as he'll definitely have some ideas on what to do”

”It see in that body” Wen Jiubo nodded thoughtfully ”You're being spoilt quite thoroughly”

”Oi!” Bai made an unhappy cry of dissatisfaction

”This case does seeh, I'll accept it” Wen Jiubo picked up the note, but then suddenly changed the subject ”However, I'll be away from Yan City for the next couple of days on business”

”Business? What business?” I asked reflexively

I didn't expect Wen Jiubo to givewith the barest hint of a s to miss me?”

My face heated up ”Who would ed

Wen Jiubo didn't get angry, he merely smiled and said, ”So, in the next couple of days, it's up to the two of you to do soation on our case!”

”Why are you throwing this mess to me —”

Wen Jiubo raised a finger, cutting me off ”If you the two of you can solve this case before I return, you'll each get a third of the reward money”

”That's what you say every tirily

”Whether you're able to achieve it is completely up to you” Wen Jiubo sood

However, in the end, as I still didn't have enough guts to say no, I ended up agreeing to Wen Jiubo's terirl's home
