C19 (1/2)

Ah!” I grabbed my head and screamed.

The master picked me up off the ground

”Disciple!” ”Don't be afraid, they've already been chased away!” Only now did I notice that the chill from earlier was gone, as was Feng Tian Yu's voice.

I did my best to suppress my trembling hands as I looked at my master. ”Master …” ”Thank you very much.”

Seeing me so frightened, Master knew that he wouldn't be able to comfort me at this time. He could only pull me along and quickly walk out of the door.

”Don't worry about that. Today, the police department is treating us to a meal. Let's give them a good beating first!”

I forcefully smiled. ”Yes, master. Please don't worry, I've eaten too much!”

My master and I got out of the car below the Ankang Grand Hotel. A rather familiar face was waiting for us at the entrance. As I walked in, I realized that this was the police officer who was guarding the crematorium during the day.

When we entered Zhu Xuan's private room, we discovered that it was already filled with people waiting for us.

”I've made everyone wait for a long time. My master and my disciple have been caught up in some mundane affairs. I am truly sorry.”

”Grandmaster Xia, you're in serious trouble. Today's matter is all thanks to you. Besides, we've only just arrived, are we waiting or not?”

”That's right, Grandmaster Xia, hurry up and sit down!” A room full of people modestly came and went, so what could I eat? I quickly smiled and pulled my master into a seat.

Not long after I sat down, the dishes started to be served one after another. As I ate, I listened to the conversation between my master and the police officer beside him. It turned out that the one who was sitting next to my master at the start was the captain of the city's police department.

Today, this ghost had caused them quite a bit of trouble, and it wasn't easy for them to rely on my master to solve the problem.

”Master, this ghost … Do you know the motive? ”Although the solution to this case cannot be announced to the public, there are still a lot of people who are aware of the situation. These few days, several large magazines and media have been eyeing our Public Security Bureau. Take a look at this …”

”Captain Long, this question is a bit troublesome. Although my disciple and I accepted this ghost, there are many things that I still have questions about. I'll give you an answer in a few days. ”

Hearing him say this, Captain Long was sure that things weren't as simple as he thought. Although it wasn't the first time he worked together with this Master Xia to solve a case, he was still a layman on this kind of case, so he could only give up and wait a few days before coming back to ask more details.

”How should I address this disciple of Master Xia?”

Captain Long already knew the general situation that he wanted to know, so he relaxed and communicated with them. He brought a cup of wine to my side.

”My surname is Lin. Lin Xiaoyin, nice to meet you.” I clinked my glass with Captain Long's and drank it all in one gulp.

”Alright!” Captain Long also finished the wine in his cup and poured it down before looking at me and saying, ”Miss Lin is indeed a woman of character. She is so generous that it is difficult for us to meet her. She is indeed Master Xia's disciple!”

I smiled as I shook my head, filling my cup to the brim.

”Captain Long sure is funny. I still need you to take care of me in the future!” After saying that, I drank my wine in one gulp. Master looked at me for a moment and seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

When the surrounding policemen saw that I was drinking one cup after another, the atmosphere suddenly became lively. They all came to toast me. I drank it all without any hesitation.

He was drinking with these people numbly, but his mind was clear and thinking about something rare.
