Chapter 28 (2/2)

Chen Hao was startled. “So bad? Then, isn’t it impossible to find Li Meng’s mother’s information now?”

Zhou Gang shook his head and said, “Very hard. Compared to this Zhao Yuan’s case of more than a hundred years ago, Li Meng’s matter is more troublesome. Because when Li Meng’s father fled back then, he changed to a different name outside and rarely revealed his information. What we know is that Li Meng’s father hid in Qingzhou, but Qingzhou is such a huge place with a population in the millions. We don’t even know if his mother is a local. If not, it’s really like fishing for a needle in a haystack. Hopes of finding her are extremely slim.”

Chen Hao’s countenance changed.

He had made a promise. It would be troublesome if it couldn’t be done.

The reason an obsession was called an obsession was that it was as good as a lock binding the ghost. Once the ghost told his obsession, if it couldn’t be done, that ghost would probably go crazy and could easily transform into a ferocious ghost.

Chen Hao paused for a moment before asking, “How crazy is Li Meng’s father?”

Zhou Gang said with a sigh, “Delirious. Shoots off his mouth. Basically a goner. He’s now trapped in a mental hospital and waiting for death.”

Chen Hao clenched his teeth and said, “Go and investigate Zhao Yuan’s family first. I’ll go and look for Li Meng’s father and think of a solution.”

After agreeing on their plans, Zhou Gang asked Yang Hui to come out.

“Have they left?” Yang Hui asked cautiously.

Zhou Gang nodded, with excitement still lingering in his eyes.

“I’ve really expanded my horizons today, my three moral outlooks nearly collapsed.”

Chen Hao said with a smile, “Don’t say this, Brother Zhou. Every civilization has a unique mark. For us China, our Daoism culture has a long history. Even in today’s technologically-advanced world, everyone still has respect and awe for the heavens. It could be said that our three moral outlooks also encompasses information about ghosts and demons. Else, that instant where you saw the ghost, you wouldn’t have been so composed.”

Zhou Gang considered his words for a moment, then nodded. “You’re right, Hao’zi. I liked to act as Sun Wukong when I was little and also enjoyed listening to the Eight Immortals legend. I had always been curious about the gods, it’s just that I had never seen one before, so I was doubtful. Now that I finally saw a ghost, I felt so astounded.”

“Err, does that affect our family?” Yang Hui was a woman, after all, so her focus was different.

Chen Hao said, “Don’t worry, Sister-in-law. These two ghosts are sensible and know not to leave their dark energy in the house. But this also reminds me. After I settle the matters of these two ghosts, I’ll help Sister-in-law construct a blessed magical artifact that protects the house. So that no ghosts will dare come near here.”

The overjoyed Yang Hui quickly nodded. “Thanks for the trouble, Hao’zi. Aiyah, the food has turned cold. I’ll go and heat it up for you. And also make some food for Blackie.”

It was fine after that. They ate and drank, and the black cat finally got a taste of good food, which nearly made it shed tears of joy.

Ah, it was not easy. To obtain a meal it had to be played around by a little brat, and the little brat nearly tore off a few of its whiskers.

After eating and drinking, with Tongtong looking unwilling to part, with much trepidation, the black cat urged Chen Hao to leave.

After getting back to his rented apartment, Chen Hao bathed then laid on his bed and started looking up information on Li Meng’s family on his phone.

Li Meng had drowned to death, and Stone City had reported on this before, so he easily found this news. He then saw some related comments.

After taking a look at the comments, Chen Hao sighed. Many of the comments were written by people familiar with Li Meng, and some were very detailed. The pitiful state of Li Meng’s family also attracted much sympathy.

But after understanding what Li Meng’s grandfather had done, Chen Hao felt that where there was a cause, there would be a consequence. The younger generation reaped the fruits of what the older generation sowed. Likewise, the younger generation suffered retribution for the evil deeds done by the older generation.
