Chapter 307 - Thats not really wise (1/2)

When Callum arrived at Ghost's house to pick him up, he was stunned when he saw Ghost walking down the stairs in a jet black slim fit three-piece suit with a silver tie clip. He was only joking when he told Ghost to dress up and so, he was pleasantly surprised that the man actually put on an effort despite him saying no previously.

Grandfather Luo was standing at the top of the stairs with a smile on his face while Butler Douglas watched on.

From the bottom of the stairs, Callum bowed politely to Grandfather Luo before saying loudly, "I might keep him out until late at night."

"It's fine! You are a good boy! Go out and enjoy! Don't forget to help my Guang Ying find a girlfriend!" said Grandfather Luo happily. He hoped that Ghost would bring back a girlfriend as soon as possible. Hopefully before the God of Death claimed his life.

"A girlfriend?" thought Butler Douglas as he watched Ghost and Callum entering the car. He knew that those two were more than just friends but for Ghost's sake, he did not say anything to Grandfather Luo.

Once they were out of the gate, Callum asked questioningly, "A girlfriend?"

"You try and tell your grandfather that you are going out on a date with a guy and see what he would say," said Ghost annoyingly. Ever since he told his grandfather that he was going out with Callum, he had to deal with his overly excited grandfather for the entire day. Somehow, Grandfather Luo thought that Ghost had a girl that he liked and he kept pestering him for an answer.

Before he could even leave the house, Ghost was already tired from the incessant questions from his well-meaning grandfather.

With a smirk, Callum pointed out, "You said date..."

When Ghost glared at him, Callum immediately dropped the smirk.

After a while, he took a quick glance at Ghost's hair before saying, "I like your hair by the way. Why did you dye it back to grey?"

"I need to make a statement," said Ghost as he stared out of the window.

"What statement?" asked Callum.

When Ghost did not answer, Callum did not press on. He knew the pain that Ghost went through before and he also knew that the man next to him kept a lot of things locked up in his heart. All he could do was to wait patiently for him to open up.

The driver who followed him the other day, Wang Yu, sent him all the reports that he and his friends sent to Mrs. Luo before. In addition, Callum went through Ghost's medical reports and school histories.

Glancing at Ghost's left hand, Callum felt a slight pain in his own left hand. Upon further research, he managed to make the connection between Ghost's accident and Luo Yin being transferred mid-term.

He went through his old yearbook and when he saw Luo Yin's photo, it triggered his memory of talking to Young Luo Yin about the 'grey-haired girl'. After a little talk with Ghost's old classmates, he found out that Luo Yin used to bully his older brother and that he would make sure that everybody did the same thing as him.

According to Ghost's old classmates, they were too afraid of Luo Yin to say no, and thus, they would pretend that Ghost was invisible so that they would not have to actively bully him. It angered Callum to know that Luo Yin could be so cruel towards his own older brother and he wished that he knew Ghost back then.

Callum knew that he played a role in Ghost's "accident". Based on Luo Yin's temperament, he knew that it was because he was searching for Ghost that Luo Yin acted cruelly. He researched all the way back to Ghost's first year with the Luo Family.

During the first year, Ghost was doing fine in his studies. He constantly beat Luo Yin who was the top of the class and he managed to maintain his position as No.1 easily. It was around the second term of the year, when he was around 11 years old, that his results deteriorated so badly that he went from the top of the class to the bottom of the barrel. Callum also found out that Ghost's hair turned grey after a terrible fever.

He had a feeling that the Luo Family had something to do with it but no matter how he searched, he could not find anything. To help him expedite the matter, he had asked his cousin, Shenlong Yuan, to help.

He knew that Mrs. Luo's family had some connections with the underground world. If she did anything under the table, it was only a matter of time before Shenlong Yuan came back to him.
