Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1620 Yang Ji Is Missing (2)

When Feng Yuanlin heard Tang Yunming say that Yang Ji was missing, his face changed drastically. He forgot about the ghost story which Shuyan had just told him, and immediately told her about Yang Ji’s disappearance.

Seeing that Shuyan’s expression didn’t change and she didn’t look flustered, Feng Yuanlin’s face softened a little. Then, he found out from Tang Yunming exactly what happened.

Tang Yunming didn’t dare hide anything and immediately explained the matter clearly. He said that Yang Ji had received a call. According to the others, it was from Yuan Yuan, who wanted to meet with Yang Ji. Before Yang Ji left the police station, Xiao Shan and the other officers questioned him, but he didn’t tell them why he was going out, and also refused their protection.

Moreover, rather than say that Yang Ji and the others were being detained at the police station, they in fact were the ones who wanted to stay in the holding cell despite not having done anything wrong. So, even if they suddenly wanted to leave, that was their decision to make; they couldn’t be forced to stay.

So, when Yang Ji said he was leaving the police station, no one stopped him, and he refused to let anyone follow him to protect him.

He said that he would be back tonight, but there was no sign of him until now. Yang Ji’s friends called him out of worry, but his phone was turned off. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that something was wrong, and they were afraid that something had happened to Yang Ji.

Feng Yuanlin also knew that his men couldn’t be blamed for Yang Ji’s sudden disappearance, but he couldn’t suppress his anger. He immediately asked, “When did he leave?”

Tang Yunming said that Yang Ji left early in the afternoon, and Feng Yuanlin couldn’t help but want to curse. Yang Ji had left in the afternoon, and they were only calling him now?

But now wasn’t the time to berate them. After getting a handle on the situation, Feng Yuanlin immediately hung up and hurriedly drove back to the police station. He explained the matter to Shuyan. “Shuyan, did something happen to that Yang kid?”

Feng Yuanlin’s forehead was covered in sweat and he was very nervous. He was afraid that something had really happened to Yang Ji. This concerned the supernatural, and Feng Yuanlin was helpless. He could only look to Shuyan as the professional.

Chi Shuyan quickly replied, “Not yet. I gave that kid a Tracking Talisman, and I don’t sense anything wrong with him.” Seeing that Brother Feng was driving back to the police station, Chi Shuyan immediately said, “Brother Feng, turn right. I know where he is now!”

Shuyan’s words were simply a pleasant surprise. Feng Yuanlin immediately changed his mind about returning to the police station and drove according to Shuyan’s directions.

Yuan Yuan, Chai Qing and Huang Chong, who had parted ways with Yang Ji early in the morning, were still standing at the entrance of a cafe on South Road. Without waiting for Yuan Yuan to speak, Chai Qing and Huang Chong vied to curry favor with her as they both criticized Yang Ji. “Sister Yuan, what is Yang Ji trying to say? You kindly told him that something is going to happen to him, and you wanted to help him think of a way to avoid the calamity, but that Yang kid didn’t appreciate it! He even believes that conwoman. If something really happens to him, he deserves it!”

It was Chai Qing who gloated.

Chai Qing was now certain that she had the best relationship with Yuan Yuan, and the latter would definitely help her avoid calamity. Besides, it wasn’t her turn now to be in trouble. Chai Qing felt that since she was living with Sister Yuan now, Sister Yuan definitely wouldn’t stand by and do nothing if something happened to her. So, she wasn’t as worried as before about something happening to her. Instead, she seized the opportunity to curry favor with Yuan Yuan.

Seeing how Yang Ji didn’t appreciate Sister Yuan’s kindness, Chai Qing was very angry. Those who didn’t know better would think that it wasn’t Yuan Yuan who had been offended, but Chai Qing.

In addition, that Chi woman had belittled her in front of Brother Xia last time. Chai Qing remembered this grudge, but had yet to find a chance to take revenge, so she could only take her anger out on Yang Ji. Who asked Yang Ji to believe that Chi woman but not Sister Yuan? Yang Ji would regret it sooner or later. This kid would probably be dead after tonight.

Sister Yuan had just predicted that something would happen to this kid soon, and that he would die especially tragically. Not only did Chai Qing not sympathize with Yang Ji, she gloated and was glad that it wasn’t her turn to die next.

She had never had a good relationship with Yang Ji. In the past, he always defended Yan Liling, and even secretly mocked Chai Qing for liking Brother Xia; even if Yang Ji really died, Chai Qing had no sympathy for him at all.

Huang Chong wanted to curry favor with Yuan Yuan, but unlike Chai Qing, he had a good relationship with Yang Ji. They had always been good friends. After Yang Ji left, Yuan Yuan really didn’t plan to interfere and help Yang Ji at all. Huang Chong panicked a little and immediately put in a good word for Yang Ji. “Sister Yuan, no matter what, Yang Ji is our good friend. Something will happen to him soon, so you must help him. You used to have the best relationship with Sister Liling. If she were still alive, she definitely wouldn’t want anything to happen to Yang Ji.”

Huang Chong was only focused on putting in a good word for Yang Ji, and didn’t see Yuan Yuan’s face stiffen and turn quite unsightly when he mentioned Yan Liling.

Huang Chong continued to beg, “Sister Yuan, I beg you to help Yang Ji. Nothing can happen to him!”

Seeing that Yuan Yuan didn’t speak, Huang Chong wanted to beg again, but Chai Qing interrupted him. “Huang Chong, how can you make things difficult for Sister Yuan like this just for Yang Ji’s sake? Besides, Sister Yuan asked that Yang kid out just now to tell him about her prediction, but he didn’t appreciate it. How else do you want Sister Yuan to help him?”

Huang Chong was rendered speechless by Chai Qing’s selfishness, and his heart turned cold. He simply ignored her and continued to look at Yuan Yuan pleadingly, hoping that she would soften a little for Sister Liling’s sake.

Although Yuan Yuan enjoyed Huang Chong’s pleading very much at that moment, she was very dissatisfied when she thought of Yang Ji’s earlier attitude. Besides, she had the same thoughts as Chai Qing. In the past, Yang Ji, this rascal, defended Yan Liling, for fear that others would poach her or ‘bully’ her. How good Yang Ji had been to Yan Liling in the past was how much he disgusted Yuan Yuan now.

Now, she just wanted to enjoy Yang Ji’s humble pleading. As for helping him, she didn’t think much of it. Yang Ji was doomed to die.

Everything was fine as long as nothing happened to Mingcheng; it had nothing to do with her if the others all died.

Thinking this, Yuan Yuan’s lips curled up into a strange smile, but she shook her head regretfully and said to Huang Chong, “Huang Chong, you saw Yang Ji’s attitude earlier. I do want to help him, but like Chai Qing said, he doesn’t want my help, so I can’t do anything. Okay, let’s go back first!”

Huang Chong was still in disbelief when he heard Yuan Yuan’s refusal. Thinking of how Yang Ji was about to die, he couldn’t help but feel a little sad. It was just that it wasn’t his own turn yet.

As for Yuan Yuan’s attitude, Huang Chong couldn’t say for sure if she would help him in the future.

Huang Chong felt that he was thinking too much. Before they left, he couldn’t help but ask with trembling lips, “Sister Yuan, will Yang Ji really… die tonight?”

Yuan Yuan had an annoyed expression, as if she didn’t care about Yang Ji’s life at all. She said impatiently, “Even if he dies, he was asking for it. He believed in someone else and not me.”

It was clear that Yuan Yuan didn’t plan to talk to Huang Chong about Yang Ji’s life and death anymore. Taking advantage of this moment, Chai Qing immediately said all sorts of good things to curry favor with Yuan Yuan.

Only then did Yuan Yuan’s expression soften, and the three of them got into the car and left together.

Yang Ji, who returned home in a daze, was still deathly white, as if he had suffered an especially huge blow. He lay on his bed. The lights in the house were on, and he wasn’t in a hurry to take a shower.

In fact, Yang Ji had already regretted it as soon as he came back. He regretted that he wasn’t at the police station. The house was very empty. The sky outside was dark and only a few faint lights were on. Yang Ji didn’t feel safe at all.

Cold sweat broke out on Yang Ji’s forehead. He took out his phone to call the others, but when he touched his pocket, he realized that his phone wasn’t there. Did he lose it somewhere?

Just then, Yang Ji vaguely heard the door shut with a bang, which flustered him. Wait, he clearly remembered closing the door when he came home.

The more Yang Ji thought about it, the more scared he became. Thinking of Yuan Yuan’s prediction, Yang Ji’s heart tightened for a moment. He suppressed his nerves and touched the talismans which the Master had given to him in his pocket with a shaky hand. Only then did Yang Ji relax a little. No, he didn’t want to die. He had to call the Master immediately!
