Chapter 59 (1/2)

Upon reaching Zhou Gang’s house, he knocked. Zhou Gang quickly opened the door for him, as if long waiting for him to arrive.

“How is it? Is Tongtong alright?” Chen Hao anxiously enquired.

Zhou Gang replied, “She cried for a while after being scared. Your sister-in-law finally coaxed her to sleep a while ago. Oh, and the jade Buddha which you gave Tongtong suddenly broke. Is something wrong?”

What?

Chen Hao’s expression changed visibly.

He gave the jade Buddha to Tongtong because that was a magical artifact that could ward off evil spirits. This also meant that as long as dark spirits did not take the initiative to go near her, nothing would happen. For the jade Buddha to shatter meant that not only did it try to get close to her, but it even tried to harm her.

His expression turned ugly instantly. Chen Hao went into the bedroom silently and saw Yang Hui coaxing the child.

Seeing Chen Hao, Yang Hui was about to stand up, but Chen Hao stopped her and instead went over to carefully observe.

The little girl’s cute face was tear-stained and she was still sniffing. It was evident that she was really frightened.

The black cat beside Chen Hao jumped onto the bed as it quietly observed the little girl as well. It did not meow, and a strange glint flashed across its eyes.

At this time, Chen Hao saw the cracked jade Buddha.

Yang Hui cherished this item. Even if it was shattered into pieces, she still gathered them and placed them by Tongtong’s side.

It was a pity that she didn’t know that the jade Buddha lost its effects the moment it shattered.

A cold glint flashed across Chen Hao’s eyes.

From the signs of how the jade Buddha broke, he could tell that the headless female ghost wanted to possess Tongtong but was repelled by the jade Buddha. The jade Buddha broke and the headless female ghost was pushed away as well.

Although it didn’t seem like it did much harm, Chen Hao knew that for a child as young as Tongtong with a weak constitution, if the ferocious ghost possessed her, the consequence would be similar to that of murder.

For it to try its hands on such a young child, even if it was a wronged ghost, it deserved to die.

Chen Hao took out another jade Buddha from his bag and placed it in Yang Hui’s hands. “Sister-in-law, this is a magical artifact which I made recently. It has a better effect than the previous one. If you bring this around, nothing will happen to Tongtong.”

Yang Hui was elated. When she received it, she replied with gratitude, “Hao’zi, thank you very much.”

Chen Hao gave a slight smile. “You don’t have to be this polite. Sister-in-law, take care of Tongtong. I will go settle that unclean thing which came uninvited.”

After speaking, Chen Hao turned to leave the bedroom.

The black cat stared at Tongtong for a while more before it hopped off the bed and ran out as well.

Upon reaching the living room, Chen Hao circled the perimeter. The dark energy had yet to dissipate, but he couldn’t feel the presence of the ghost in this area. Evidently, it was injured by the jade Buddha and escaped.

Turning to Zhou Gang, he said, “Brother Zhou, take good care of Sister-in-law and Tongtong. I will settle this dirty thing.”
