125 Shaken Nerves (2/2)
”Then all of you can leave first.” She seemed determined to continue waiting.
Without hesitation, Ma Jianguo turned to leave by himself. Pan Zhenghui could not possibly leave An Xiaoning alone here since she was someone whom they painstakingly invited.
But Ma Jianguo had taken only a few steps when a gust of strong wind came blowing from behind, leaving him blown down on the ground.
”Quick, squat down!”
Everyone squatted down in an orderly fashion, with both their hands supporting themselves by pressing on the muddy ground. When the wind had passed, An Xiaoning stood up, looking at a faint figure who had appeared and was sitting by the grave mound, back-faced.
”You really did not go and reincarnate. Why are you still hanging around the living world?”
”Hehehehehe…”
A voice that brought chills to one's spine sounded, and, although the few could not see the figure, they were terrified upon hearing this voice.
With one hand clutching his police uniform, Pan Zhenghui's whole body trembled with fright as he lay on the ground. On the other hand, Ma Jianguo, who had gotten quite a lot of mud into his mouth, crawled towards the other four.
”Don't you already know why, cousin? Why are you asking me?”
An Xiaoning asked, ”Did Shi Shaochuan's parents die because of you?”
”So what if they did or didn't? If not for this bunch of useless police, all these won't have happened. I will make everyone who had used money to settle this matter die, they better watch out.” As soon as she finished speaking, another gust of strong wind started blowing. An Xiaoning looked up and saw that the figure at the grave mount had disappeared.
She let out a sigh. Although she had already expected it, knowing the truth still gave one the urge to sigh.
Turning as she flashed the torch, she saw the other four. Other than the two armed officers, Pan Zhenghui and Ma Jianguo's postures were really unsightly.
”Let's go now.”
The group hurriedly followed behind her. When Pan Zhenghui was standing up, he almost lost his balance and fell back down, but luckily, Gong Le was agile and held onto him immediately.
On the way back, there was complete silence in the car. No one uttered a word at all.
After a long while of driving, Ma Jianguo finally said, ”I really got a huge shock just now. I think we need to find a priest to get rid of her. Otherwise, I really do not dare to think of what will happen. An old man like me has believed in science for so many years, I really didn't think that I'll be able to see such a thing.”
”No, we can't do that,” An Xiaoning interjected over him. ”Do you really think Wang Fangfang, who has such deep grievances, can be easily handled like that?”
”Then what do you suggest?”
An Xiaoning hesitated for a moment and replied pensively, ”The one who created the problem should be the one to solve it. We should get Shi Shaochuan to ask for forgiveness and send her away.”
The thought of it angered Pan Zhenghui. ”It's all Shi Shaochuan's fault, I heard her words just now loud and clear. She said she'll make all those who used money to handle this matter die. Why do I feel that the next one would be Shi Shaochuan's grandmother?”
”Let's head back to the police station. We should get a change of clothes and go to the Shi residence.”
”Okay.”
”Boss, someone is calling again!” The sudden chiming of her ringtone jolted the other four. An Xiaoning answered it, ”Hello.”
”When are you coming back?” Jin Qingyan inquired.
”Maybe about two more hours, you can sleep first.”
”Can't you settle it tomorrow?” Jin Qingyan pressed her. ”Come back soon.”
”I know.” She ended the line.
”Xiaoning, your ringtone is really special.” Pan Zhenghui chuckled.
”I'm used to it already, can't be bothered to change it.”
The car headed to the police station first, and, after they got a change of clothes, they made their way to the Shi residence together.
The Shi family was in the midst of conducting a funeral. Seeing that An Xiaoning had arrived, Shi Shaochuan immediately questioned, ”What are you doing here?”
