After crawling out of the sewer, Chen Hao couldn’t help but sigh.

He was off to a bad start. The female ghost of the dismemberment case didn’t appear, and it wasn’t easy for him to meet another ghost, but that ghost had let go of his own obsessions. How am I supposed to help spirits? How can I obtain the reward?

Seems like this path of helping the spirits wasn’t as easy as he had imagined.

He didn’t hurry to leave either. Bearing in mind to do acts of kindness, Chen Hao effortfully returned the cover of the well back to its intended position before leaving the streets, prepared to proceed to the second location he had shortlisted.

Just as he was waiting for a bus by the roadside, a black car slowly stopped before him.

One glance and Chen Hao immediately recognized the model.

Mercedes Benz S359, with a price tag of over one million yuan. It was truly a luxury car.

Feeling rather envious, Chen Hao secretly wondered if he could one day buy such a luxury car with the help of those blessed magical artifacts.

But this wasn’t Chen Hao’s type. He still preferred SUVs, feeling that such cars felt more comfortable to drive in.

Just as he was thinking to himself, the car window of the luxury car suddenly rolled down, revealing the pretty face of a woman.

“Mr. Chen, where are you heading? Do you need me to give you a lift?” The woman asked with a smile.

Chen Hao was caught by surprise.

Eh, is she calling me?

Glancing left and right, he saw nobody else.

The woman smiled even more broadly. “Chen Hao, Mr. Chen, I’m speaking to you.”

Chen Hao raised an eyebrow and gazed at the woman doubtfully.

He was 200% certain that he didn’t know this woman. Moreover, in Stone City, he didn’t have any rich relatives or rich friends. How did this woman know his name was Chen Hao? From the looks of it, they were not bumping into each other by chance. It seemed like she had come to look for him deliberately.

Trouble!

Chen Hao said, “Sorry, I don’t know you.”

The woman introduced herself. “My name is Bai Ru. You don’t know me, but I know some things about Mr. Chen. Aren’t you curious how I know about you, Mr. Chen?”

Chen Hao smiled and replied, “Not curious.”

Then, Chen Hao stopped waiting for a bus and turned around to leave.

They were neither kin nor kith. Even a three-year-old kid wouldn’t believe she didn’t come with a motive.

Chen Hao’s unexpected response caught Bai Ru off guard. But very quickly, she managed to react. She hurriedly pushed open the car door and gave chase.

“Mr. Chen, do you need to keep people at a distance like this? I’m here to sincerely seek help.” Bai Ru walked alongside Chen Hao, not beating around the bush, and instead directly revealed her intention for being here.

Chen Hao’s gaze froze.

Seeking help? He was merely an ordinary university graduate who just started working a month ago. How was he capable of helping someone?

If anything, that would be the abilities he suddenly displayed.

“Did Zhou Gang tell you this?” Chen Hao’s tone grew cold.

If that was the case, there was no need to keep his friendship with Zhou Gang. A person who divulged his identity and information casually without his consent wasn’t a worthy partner.

Bai Ru blinked and said mischievously, “Captain Zhou isn’t the only person who knows a remarkable man like Mr. Chen.”

Chen Hao’s gaze flickered.
