Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Chu Yan, who was squatting on the ground and burning paper money, stood up and walked behind Lu Sheng.
The young man was expressionless at first. When he saw him, fear immediately appeared on his face and he even took a few steps back.
However, when his gaze landed on Pei Yan’s family, his expression became extremely ferocious.
Lu Sheng said lightly, “You insisted on not entering the cycle of reincarnation because you wanted the Pei family to die without descendants. However, you know very well who was in the wrong back then.”
Pei Jiayou and Yao Bingxin could not see the young man, but they could tell from Lu Sheng’s stare that he was in front.
Upon hearing Lu Sheng’s words, the young man suddenly turned around and glared at Lu Sheng. “His father was the one who caused our family to die without descendants first.”
Lu Sheng frowned. “So, what do you want?”
The young man roared, “I want that old man’s grandson’s life!”
Lu Sheng nodded. “Okay, he’s here. Take it if you want.”
Then, she looked at Yao Bingxin and Pei Jiayou. The duo understood and hurriedly cried, “If you want, take our lives. Let my son off!”
‘Pei Yan”s expression was mechanical at first, but then it revealed a terrified expression.
“Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!”
Pei Jiayou and Yao Bingxin were shocked. They did not expect the paper figurine to not only transform into Pei Yan’s looks, but also speak.
The duo could not help but admire Lu Sheng.
In this era, few people believed in ghosts and deities.
Hence, such a young and capable person was indeed admirable.
“Haha. Hahaha!”
The young man looked up and laughed crazily. He grabbed ‘Pei Yan’ by the neck and flung ‘him’ aside.
With a bang, blood splattered everywhere.
“Ah—!”
Although they knew that it was not the real Pei Yan, Pei Jiayou and Yao Bingxin could not help but scream when they saw that scene.
“Dead. He’s dead. Hahaha—”
The young man continued laughing maniacally, and the resentment in his body gradually dissipated.
After a while, he turned around and strode away.
After the young man walked away, the wind stopped.
‘Pei Yan’, who had fallen to the ground, instantly returned to being a paper figurine. The blood on the ground also disappeared instantly.
Pei Jiayou and Yao Bingxin’s legs gave way and they almost fell to the ground.
Chu Yan looked at Lu Sheng and saw that her expression was still indifferent, as if these were very normal to her.
“Lu… Lu Sheng, will he come back again?”
After calming down, Pei Jiayou asked Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng said in a low voice, “Don’t worry, he won’t come back again.”
Once the resentment dissipated, he would be quickly discovered by the ghosts of the Netherworld.
“Uncle, Auntie, get someone to remove these items.”
“Okay, okay!”
Yao Bingxin nodded and hurried back to the front courtyard to get someone to clean up.
Lu Sheng walked to a corner, picked up the Soundproof Talisman, and threw it into the basin of paper money.
After returning to the front hall, Lu Sheng hurriedly got Chu Yan to call Pei Yan.
Soon, Pei Yan went downstairs.
Yao Bingxin and Pei Jiayou looked at him. When they thought of the paper figurine’s fate just now, they felt a lingering fear.
“Done with the ritual?” Pei Yan looked at them and asked, “Did you see that thing? What did it look like?”
“Are you sure you want to see it?” Chu Yan asked faintly.
Pei Yan thought for a while and nodded. “To be honest, I do want to see it.”
Chu Yan nodded. He took out his phone and showed him the photos and video he secretly took just now.
After seeing it, Pei Yan did not dare to sleep alone and insisted that Chu Yan stay behind to accompany him.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yan ignored him and even kept his phone calmly.
Pei Jiayou gave Lu Sheng and Chu Yan two big red packets and personally sent them out.
Halfway through, he suddenly looked at Lu Sheng and said, “Lu Sheng, Uncle wants to ask you for a favor.”
Pei Jiayou did not expect Lu Sheng to be so capable despite her young age.
He did not believe in these previously. Even before Lu Sheng did the ritual, he was still doubtful.
However, ever since he witnessed Lu Sheng transform a paper figurine into a real person, he had no choice but to believe her.
“Uncle, please speak!”
Lu Sheng, who received the red packet, was in a good mood. She smiled.
“It’s like this. Uncle has a friend who’s from another country. He kept saying that his neck hurts, so he went to the hospital for a full body checkup. He even stayed in the hospital for observation for a week. His illness is still very serious, but the doctor can’t tell anything. Can you help Uncle take a look and see if he has a problem in this aspect too?”
“Since Uncle Pei has already asked, how can I not help?” Lu Sheng smiled and said, “Do you want me to go over now?”
Pei Jiayou nodded. “It’s alright to go over now. Uncle’ll give him a call first.”
Lu Sheng nodded slightly.
After Pei Jiayou walked to the side to make a call, Lu Sheng looked at Chu Yan and asked, “Chu Yan, do you want to go home or go with us?”
No longer Senior Chu?
Chu Yan asked in his heart, but he said lightly, “There’s no one at home. It doesn’t matter if I go back early or late.”
“Me too.”
Lu Sheng sighed softly. “My father and uncle only come back half a month later every time they go on a business trip.”
“Where’s your mother?”
Lu Sheng said in a low voice, “She’s no longer around.”
Her impression of her mother was only left with the picture she stole from Lu Zhou.
“Sorry,” Chu Yan apologized softly.
“It’s nothing.” Lu Sheng smiled faintly and said, “My mother was gone ever since I had my memories.”
Hence, her feelings for her mother were faint.
“Well, Lu Sheng, Uncle has already called that friend of mine. He said we should go over now.”
Chu Yan was about to say something when Pei Jiayou suddenly walked over and spoke.
“Does Uncle Pei’s friend live in this district too?” Lu Sheng asked.
Pei Jiayou shook his head. “No, he’s just here to discuss business. He’s staying in a hotel.”
“Uncle Pei, I’ll go with you,” Chu Yan said.
Pei Jiayou looked at him and remembered what he said in the backyard today. He knew that Chu Yan had some skills and hurriedly nodded. “Okay, let’s go together. Wait here now. Uncle will go and drive.”
“Where are you driving to?”
Yao Bingxin and Pei Yan were standing at the entrance to send them off, but they did not follow them because Pei Jiayou had something to say to Lu Sheng.
However, when Pei Yan saw them stop, he hesitated for a while before walking over.
In the end, he heard his father say that he wanted to drive.
He suggested to Pei Jiayou, “Dad, I’ll send them off. Or, they can drive my car back.”
“No need. You’ve just gotten out of this situation. It’s better to walk less at night. Go back quickly.”
Pei Jiayou patted his shoulder and drove off.
Lu Sheng smiled and said, “Uncle is right. Pei Yan, you should rest early.”
“Pei Yan?” Pei Yan was stunned. “Junior, didn’t you call me Senior just now? Why you change your way of addressing me so quickly?”
Chu Yan smiled.
He felt that it was quite nice for Lu Sheng to call Pei Yan by his name directly. It sounded better.
Lu Sheng said, “I’m not your real junior. Moreover, I’m older than you.”
“That’s true.”
Pei Yan pouted and asked Chu Yan, “Hey, Chu Yan, are you really not going to stay and accompany me?”
The video was of ‘him’, and the person in the photo was the young man.
Thankfully, that young man looked very blurry and his face could not be seen clearly. Otherwise, he would be even scarier.
Chu Yan glanced at him disdainfully and stood at the side with his hands in his pockets. He did not speak.
“Why would a man be afraid of these things?” Lu Sheng sneered. “Don’t worry, put on the talisman I gave you. I guarantee that all the demons and ghosts will stay away from you.”
“Xiao Sheng, Xiao Yan, get in the car.”
On the other side, Pei Jiayou had already driven the car over.
“Take care then. I won’t send you off!”
After speaking to the duo, Pei Yan looked at Pei Jiayou and said, “Dad, drive slowly. Be careful!”
“Got it. Go back quickly.”
Pei Jiayou looked at him helplessly and nodded at Yao Bingxin before leaving.
The three of them reached a five-star hotel quickly. After confirming their identities, they rode the elevator to the sixth floor.
Pei Jiayou knocked on the door of room number 666.
Soon, the door opened and a plump middle-aged man stood outside, warmly inviting the three of them in.
After sitting down, the man scanned Chu Yan and Lu Sheng before asking suspiciously, “Old Pei, didn’t you say that you would invite an expert to treat me? Where is he?”
As he spoke, he rubbed his neck a few more times.
The bruises around his eyes also proved that he did not sleep well.
“Didn’t I bring her for you?” Pei Jiayou chuckled and said to Lu Sheng, “Lu Sheng, quickly take a look at him and see if there’s a problem.”
Lu Sheng nodded. “There’s indeed a problem, but it’s not a big problem.”
“Not a big problem?”
The man raised his voice immediately. He looked at Pei Jiayou, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “Old Pei, are you sure you’re not teasing me? This child? How old is she? What can she know?”
“You can’t say that,” Pei Jiayou said. “Let the child finish speaking first.”
“Okay, okay.”
The man looked at her perfunctorily and asked, “Then, why did you say that?”
He had been tortured for half a month and could not eat or sleep well.
He only weighed one hundred and fifty pounds now.
The pain in his neck was unbearable.
He went to the hospital to take an X-ray but they said that there was no problem. Then, he went to find a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor to take a look. He underwent Gua sha and massage, but they did not seem to be effective.
He was so troubled that he wanted to go to the capital tomorrow to take a look. Unexpectedly, Pei Jiayou suddenly called and said that he will be bringing an expert over to take a look.
To be honest, he was quite surprised when he heard Pei Jiayou mention this.
After all, Pei Jiayou did not believe in these things.
He thought that he could try, but did not expect Pei Jiayou to bring two children over.
“You’re driving a second-hand car, right?” Lu Sheng suddenly asked.
The man was stunned and said in surprise, “How did you know I drove a second-hand car?”
His brother-in-law bought that car from someone else. It was a second-hand Porsche.
When he came for the business trip, his car happened to run out of gas. Afraid that it would be too late, he borrowed his brother-in-law’s car and left his own car for him to drive.
He had not even told Pei Jiayou about this. How did this girl know?
Moreover, he did not think that Lu Sheng would specially go to the hotel’s underground garage to check on his car to deceive him.
Lu Sheng nodded slightly. “That’s right then.”
The man frowned and asked in confusion, “What do you mean? Is there a problem with that second-hand car?”
“Of course there’s a problem,” Lu Sheng said lightly. “The owner wanted to change to another new car because he killed someone with this car you’re driving now.”
“What?”
The man was shocked. Then, he mumbled, “No wonder. When my brother-in-law bought the car back then, he said that the car had been driving for less than half a year. That person wanted to exchange for a new car, so he sold it to him cheaply. I knew it. A car worth more than two million yuan was reduced to a million yuan in less than half a year. So, it was because he killed someone!”
“So, his neck hurts because of those things?” Pei Jiayou asked thoughtfully.
“Yes.”
Lu Sheng nodded. “The person following him was the person who was killed. As he did not know who hit him back then, he could only follow this car.”
As she spoke, she looked at the man who was rubbing his arms and continued, “Perhaps because this uncle’s brother-in-law has strong Yang energy, this ghost can’t follow him. As this uncle can’t sleep from tossing and turning, his health is poor, and his Yang energy is weak, this ghost followed him.”
“Is… is that ghost here?”
The man swallowed and looked terrified.
“He hid at the corner of the closet when he saw us coming in.”
As Lu Sheng spoke, she smiled and glanced at Chu Yan.
The ghost was staring at Chu Yan. It was obvious that he was very afraid of Chu Yan.
“Then… Is there any way to chase it away?” the man asked with a pale face.
Lu Sheng explained, “He actually didn’t want your life. He was just hungry. No one summoned his soul for him, so he couldn’t go anywhere. No one gave him food. Also, because of his obsession, he wanted to find the murderer, so he kept following this car.”
“Then… What should we do now?” the man asked.
Lu Sheng said, “Go to the market tomorrow morning to buy a cooked chicken, some paper money, and incense. Place the cooked chicken beside your car, light the incense, and burn the paper money. Then, he will leave himself.”
The man nodded frantically. “Okay, I’ll try it tomorrow morning!”
Lu Sheng smiled and nodded.
The three of them sat for a while. The man gave Lu Sheng a small red packet and promised that if her method was effective, he would give her a big one. He even took down Lu Sheng’s phone number.
Lu Sheng smiled. Before leaving, she glanced at the ghost before leaving with Pei Jiayou and Chu Yan.
The next day, Lu Sheng was lying on the sofa chatting with Chu Yan when an unfamiliar number called.
She was about to refuse when she suddenly thought of that man and picked up.
“Hello, are you Old Pei’s niece?”
As expected, it was that man.
“Uncle Guan, it’s me.”
When they returned last night, Pei Jiayou had introduced the man to them. He said that his surname was Guan and his name was Guan Xin. He was from City A.
“I’m meeting your Uncle Pei. See if you and that boy are free and come over for a meal.”
“Okay, I understand!”
Lu Sheng had just hung up when Guan Xin sent a message over.. It was the address of a restaurant.
