C56 (1/2)

Looking at the anxious faces of the few who responded, I let out a light sigh. The heavy burden in my heart was finally lifted. It was a lie to say that there was no beating the drum in my heart, but I didn't expect that it would go so smoothly and that it would even surprise me.

”How is it?” ZhangYu urgently asked me, but also seemed to be afraid of what was inside. She pointed her finger inside, but her voice kept getting softer and softer until it was completely silent.

I understood them so well that I nodded slightly, feeling a tiredness I had never felt before.

Perhaps, this is what the nameless ghost lady left me at the end. How can I relax after countless negative emotions flow through my heart?

Of course, in the current situation, this was not a big deal. The sadness still lingering in his heart could only be slowly digested when he was alone.

The three of them looked at each other in disbelief. Then, they looked into Xiaoru's room and saw that her dress had turned to dust. They heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Xiao Yue immediately exclaimed and almost clapped her hands to celebrate. She quickly said, ”As long as it's settled, I'll bring the money over to you then.”

”Wait.” Zhang Yu didn't know why she was so crazy, but she actually stopped Xiao Yue. Glancing at me, she said with a smile, ”It's not that I don't trust you, but I'll have to wait until we see the results first.”

I was stunned for a moment. To be honest, this girl seemed to be very carefree and had a lot of foresight.

I couldn't be bothered with them and nodded my head with a smile. ”That's fine. I'll head back first. I'll return the money when you've confirmed that you're fine.”

”Aren't you afraid that I'll run, Master Mu?” Xiao Yue narrowed her eyes and looked at me strangely.

I smiled and pretended to be mysterious as I looked at the few of them. ”You all have forgotten what I do. Since I have the ability to give away these things, I also have the ability to invite them. Do you all want to try?”

With that, the few of them shuddered.

”Tsk, if you really have the time, then invite me. Anyway, when the time comes, you'll have to spend some time to send it away. What's there to be afraid of?” Zhang Yu grinned and took out his phone, placing it in front of me and asked, ”Do you have any on WeChat? I'll transfer the funds to you then.”

”No problem.” I chuckled. I didn't pay much attention to this matter. This first batch of business went so smoothly that the amount of money I earned instead became unimportant.

When I walked out of the three's residence, it was already early in the morning. The temperature was a little low, so I unknowingly tightened my clothes and found a platform to wait for the train. This place was really off to the side, and there weren't many people around at this time, so in order to warm up, I jogged all the way to the city center.

I was out of breath from the run, and after more than half an hour, I finally reached the city. I bent down to catch my breath, then sauntered over to my store.

The street light was cold, and I couldn't help but think of Hu Shuang. I didn't know if this little girl fell asleep or not, but I took out my phone and was about to give her a call, but it was already past one in the morning. This call would disturb her sweet dreams, so I shook my head and put my phone back in my pocket.

However, at this moment, I felt a chill on my wrist. The ghost lady dressed in red immediately ran out from the bracelet. Her face was a little purple. When I saw this, I was immediately startled.

”He's nearby.” The ghost girl's voice was cold, and black gas swirled around her. I saw that she seemed like she was about to explode, so I quickly held her back, afraid that she would go berserk if this didn't work out.

However, from her words, I didn't know who the ”he” she spoke of was.

”Wait for me, I'll go find him.” As soon as the ghost lady's voice sounded, she turned into a gust of cold wind and disappeared from my sight, not even giving me any time to ask about her.

I sighed, thinking that this woman was really a mysterious being. Where am I supposed to go to wait now that I don't know what she is doing? In the shop, or here?

Thinking about this, I simply couldn't be bothered and shook my head as I walked towards my own store. However, as soon as I arrived, I discovered that the door was covered in a large amount of blood red paint and there was a pungent smell of paint coming from afar.

When I saw this scene, I immediately got angry. Needless to say, this must have been done by Brother Fei and his bunch. Other than using such despicable methods, they have no other abilities.

I pinched my nose and gritted my teeth as I opened the door. After seeing that there were no abnormalities in the shop, I relaxed.
