Guan Rou sneered, ”You and I can't guarantee it. That porcelain bowl is evidence. If you sell it, it will be illegal. I have the right to arrest you!”
I whispered, ”I really didn't. That porcelain bowl broke and I buried it.”
”Forget it, I won't pursue this matter any further. I have something that I need your help with today.”
”What is it?”
”Don't you know how to catch ghosts? Why don't you help me? I have a friend. If something happens, help me take a look!”
I was a little surprised, then I wiped my mouth with a tissue. ”Officer Guan, are you joking with me?”
”What do you think makes you laugh?” I chuckled before my expression changed. ”No way, I'm in the field of funeral services. If your friend needs this sort of service, you can come and find me at any time.”
Guan Rou coldly said, ”You really don't want to help me?”
”No, I'm full. I'll go back first.” I got up and left the restaurant and strolled home. As soon as I opened the door, I felt a cold wind blowing against my face.
”Where did you go!” With a bang, the door was tightly shut. Tang Yufeng floated out from the spirit tablet and angrily glared at him with a ferocious expression. ”You dare to play a double game with me!”
Tang Yu Feng's expression changed. Her eyes were bleeding, her skin was starting to rot, and maggots began to crawl out of her mouth. ”Where's that ghost girl? Did you two do some shady business behind my back?!”
I was so scared that I hastily replied, ”Nope, how could I do anything to her? That female ghost is an evil spirit that wanted to harm my life. It was all thanks to the old master that I was saved. Otherwise, I would have died long ago.”
I told Tang Yufeng everything. Tang Yufeng's expression changed and returned back to her beautiful expression. She rolled her eyes at me and said, ”Why didn't you tell me earlier …” ”Why didn't you say so earlier? You better behave and don't let me find out that you're having an affair with another woman, or else I'll drink your blood and eat your flesh.”
”My dear grandaunt, how could I dare? Please spare me.”
”Get up …” ”Seeing you like this, I really don't know what my father is thinking. He wants me to marry you!” I sat on the sofa and poured a glass of water. ”Do you think I want to marry you? It was your father and my family's old man who insisted that I marry you.” What did you say... Do you mean that I have treated you unfairly?! ”
”No ….” ”No …” This mistress turned hostile just like that. She really had the face of a dog.
I turned and ran into the bathroom to take off my clothes. I couldn't afford to hide from her. I stood in front of the mirror and looked at myself in it. My face was haggard. That ghost lady from last night was really ruthless. Next time, I must be on guard against her.
”Bang …” What are you doing?! ”
I hastily wrapped a towel around my body and said in panic, ”My aunt, there's no need for you to be in such a rush. How about you go first?”
Tang Yu Feng pouted her lips as her face flushed red and said angrily: ”You … ”Go to hell!”
”Plop …” With a sound, I was knocked to the ground by a strong gust of wind, causing me to be sent flying backwards on all fours.
”Rascal …” Tang Yufeng turned around and closed the door. I didn't mess with her, but she must be crazy.
I forced myself to get up and take a shower before leaving the bathroom and returning to my bedroom to lie down on my bed. I rested very early tonight, and I woke up at dawn the next day.
Taiji Fist was performed in the courtyard.
”Master Tang, why are you up so early?” I went over and sat down on a nearby stone bench. Then I took a cup of tea from the stone table and drank it myself.
Tang Guofeng softly said, ”You're very early. Why have you come to find me so early?”
I hesitantly whispered, ”I don't really like the job I'm doing right now. You should just take it back.”
”What's wrong? Is it inappropriate or not?”
Tang Guofeng walked over and sat on the stone bench. He poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip, ”Then, what do you want to do?”
I thought about it and said, ”I want to do something else. I can't possibly do the business of the dead forever.”
Tang Guofeng smiled and said, ”Your family's old man specifically asked me to take care of you, but I admire men's ambition.”
”So you agree?”
Tang Guofeng softly said, ”I don't seem to have the right to comment on this matter.”
