Chapter 133: Coming up with a plan (2/2)

”Of course!” Suddenly, the gentle hand turned into a harsh punch. I was punched in the head. ”You have no heart! I have helped you so much and you never once came to see me!?! I need to beat you up! You're a rude child!”

”Grandmother Meng! Calm down!” I was trying to avoid her vicious attack as I begged for mercy. ”It's not that I didn't want to see you. It's because....”

”Because of what?”

”I have no face....”

”Silly child. Why not? Is it because of what I said to you previously? I'm telling you! I still meant what I said. I won't agree to your relationship with Suyang!”

”I know! Initially, I was planning to leave.” At this point, I secretly peeked at Suyang. He seemed mad.

On the contrary, Grandmother Meng beamed. She grabbed onto my hands. ”Really? You are going to leave?”

”Yes.”

”It's not a condition for me to switch your soul back?”

”Grandmother Meng. I would never use Suyang as a condition for anything.” I sincerely replied.

”Good! Since you're such a good girl, I'll help you get your body back no matter what! Honestly, when the child came to see me with your appearance, I already knew it was him.”

”How did you figure it out?”

What? I thought it was very strange. Both Grandmother Meng and Suyang could tell the difference between me and Anson?

”Haven't you forgotten? I have been in contact with ghosts all my life. I don't only see the outer appearance. Instead, I see the souls too. I can immediately tell when the soul and the physical appearance don't match. Plus, the child's aura is bad. I couldn't even pretend not to know.”

”Wow. You're so pro. Unlike me....” I whispered to myself.

Grandmother Meng didn't hear me. ”What did you say?”

”Right now, the bigger question is, how can we swap the souls?” Suyang brought us back on topic.

”In order to swap souls, both parties' physical bodies and souls must be present. Or else things could go very wrong. I heard that the child is still in the hospital. But if we go to the hospital, there will be way too many people interrupting. It will not work.”

”But we can't take Anson out! There's a police officer watching over him.”

”Can you guys discuss with Sheyu and let Anson out for.....” I looked at Grandmother Meng.

”An hour!” Grandmother Meng stated.

”An hour! Can she let Anson go for an hour? Plus, right now, the person lying on the bed is not Anson. It's 'Lin Yixin'! Didn't she say that as long as we don't want to pursue charges, she'll be fine? Lin Yixin doesn't have any criminal records! If Sheyu is in charge, she would be ok with it, right?” I asked hopefully.

”Don't even bother. Sheyu is so stubborn. She won't let anyone get close to Lin Yixin until after she's awake. Sheyu refuses to release ‘Lin Yixin’ until she personally closes the case and has a written record.”

I nervously bit my lip. ”If Anson wakes up, he'll definitely send my physical body to jail by making up or admitting to all sorts of crimes! By the time he wakes up, it'll be too late!”

Suddenly, I thought of something. ”Where is Xialing?”

”I'm not sure. Ever since she escaped with Huaze Yuxiang, we haven't heard from them. Honestly, I don't even know if she was on our side or Anson's. How could she have fallen into his own trap as his subordinate...?”

”I'm quite sure Xialing was clueless at the time. Anson isn't a simple person to deal with. But since Xialing was his subordinate for so many years, she must be quite of value. Perhaps she could help us.”

”Yixin has a point.” Grandmother Meng coolly pointed at me. ”Honestly, there are very few garbage supernatural people like her.”

Grandmother Meng, your words hurt...!

”We need to find Xialing to help us!”

”But she's missing. How could we find her?”

”Although she's missing, I have a way to contact her... ”I went over to the door and happened to see Xiazhi doing push-ups. I made eye contact with him and said, ”Xiazhi, do you know where your sister is?”

Xiazhi froze and remained in the same position as he observed me. He was stunned. Then, the corner of his mouth curved into a smile.

”Hey! What's wrong? Does my face frighten you?” I waved my hand in front of him.

Xiazhi shook his head.

”Could you help me locate her? I really have something important I need to discuss with her!” I pressed my palms together in a begging position.

Xiazhi understood my words and nodded. Then, he vanished. I think he went to find his sister. If Xiazhi spoke up for me, Xialing should be willing to help me.
