Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1623 Something Happened to Yuan Yuan

The three went downstairs. Feng Yuanlin was also a bit stumped when he saw how Shuyan looked like she really wanted to take Yang Ji home. Taking advantage of the moment Yang Ji was getting into the car, Feng Yuanlin immediately winked at Shuyan and asked, “Shuyan, is it really okay to take him back?”

Chi Shuyan nodded and said, “It’s not a big problem; it’s just that I still have classes and other things to do during the day, and there’s nothing for him to do in my place.”

She had long set up the Seven Stars Array outside the villa, so she wasn’t afraid that something would dare enter and harm him. At the same time, Chi Shuyan also understood that bringing Yang Ji back was the best strategy. If she let him stay at the police station or somewhere else, something might happen again.

Feng Yuanlin had the same thought, but he was afraid that this kid would get restless if he had to stay at Shuyan’s place the whole time, so he simply suggested, “How about I keep an eye on him at the police station during the day, and you can come and take him back in the evening?” After a pause, he thought of Zhenbai and how Shuyan would suddenly be bringing another man back. His friend wouldn’t misunderstand, right?

Feng Yuanlin felt that given Zhenbai’s character, he wouldn’t make a big fuss.

Chi Shuyan was also quite satisfied with Brother Feng’s thorough arrangements.

Before getting into the car, Feng Yuanlin couldn’t help but mention the doll that had appeared on Yang Ji’s table last night.

Feng Yuanlin had heard a lot of ghost stories featuring dolls before. After last night, Feng Yuanlin had a vague guess as to what these brats had provoked, and had many questions in his heart.

But thinking about how Yang Ji was with them, Feng Yuanlin could only get into the car with Shuyan first. He didn’t expect Shuyan to go home instead of going to the police station with them.

Feng Yuanlin: …

“Shuyan, why are you going home now? I’ll send you to school later,” Feng Yuanlin said.

“Brother Feng, I didn’t go home last night. Zhenbai is still waiting for me at home. He told me to go back first.” Chi Shuyan had received the man’s message early in the morning, and still decided to go home.

This couple was so clingy that Feng Yuanlin was too tired to complain anymore, and he could only watch Shuyan take a taxi and leave first.

As soon as Shuyan left, Feng Yuanlin got into the car. Yang Ji was stumped. He watched Master Chi leave and asked anxiously, “Director Feng, Master… does Master have something else to do?”

Feng Yuanlin also knew how anxious this kid was, so he nodded and said, “Mm, Shuyan has to go home and see her husband before she goes to school.” After a pause, Feng Yuanlin complained again, “They’re really different now that they’re married. This couple is so clingy… Tsk, tsk, is it really so amazing to have a husband?!”

Feng Yuanlin didn’t know that his tone was quite resentful at that moment. Yang Ji’s expression was very strange when he heard this. For a moment, he held back his words and didn’t say anything. Instead, he widened his eyes and asked curiously, “Wait, Director Feng, the Master is married? So young?”

It was as if Feng Yuanlin had found a kindred spirit – he immediately nodded as he drove. “That’s right, is there a need to be in such a hurry to get married?”

He also knew that it had most likely been Zhenbai’s idea to get the marriage certificates so soon. He had felt before that it was Zhenbai who had been all over Shuyan. Looking at Shuyan now, it seemed the feelings were returned.

Feng Yuanlin was especially envious and hateful of the couple’s good relationship.

Yang Ji was completely shocked that Master Chi was already married and had a husband. At the same time, he was also shocked that Master Chi was actually a student.

Yang Ji was shocked and then curious, which made him forget his fear from last night. His focus was completely on Master Chi’s marriage and studies. For example, who was Master Chi’s husband? What did he do? Also, Master Chi was still studying. Which school was she from?

On the way, it was as if Feng Yuanlin could finally vent. Yang Ji learned that although Master Chi was still young, she really was already married. As for her husband, he was a very good childhood friend of Director Feng’s. Not only that, Master Chi got along very well with her husband, and was a first-year student at a top university.

Yang Ji was utterly amazed at all this information about Master Chi. He didn’t expect this Master Chi to be a top student and to really have gotten married early.

Yang Ji couldn’t help but recall how Chai Qing criticized Master Chi for having certain intentions toward Xia Mingcheng. Chai Qing had been cryptic about it, but her meaning was clear to Yang Ji, who had half-believed it. After all, Xia Mingcheng was very outstanding in terms of looks, family background, and abilities. It wouldn’t be strange if Master Chi really took a fancy to him.

But now that he heard from Director Feng that Master Chi was married and had an extremely good relationship with her husband, Yang Ji was fed up with Chai Qing, who loved to gossip and talk nonsense.

Perhaps Master Chi had just been looking curiously at Xia Mingcheng, but who would have thought that in Chai Qing’s eyes, Master Chi had fallen for him? The more Yang Ji thought of how Chai Qing had made things up about Master Chi in front of them, the more he felt that she was a meddlesome woman.

She really shouldn’t think that everyone else was stupid and she was the only smart one. Practically everyone knew about her feelings for Xia Mingcheng; they just didn’t want to embarrass her.

He had pretended not to hear her casual ridicule in the past, but Master Chi was his savior now. No matter how Chai Qing mocked her, he had to give that woman a proper talking-to.

The two returned to the police station. Before they got out of the car, Feng Yuanlin explained to Yang Ji that Shuyan would pick him up in the evening.

Yang Ji was flattered. He was curious about Master Chi’s place and her husband. At the same time, his heart, which had been in his throat, completely settled.

Since Yang Ji was fine, Feng Yuanlin took him back to the holding cell. Wang Jinyang, Yi Junzhong and Li Xiaoyan were simply delighted to see that Yang Ji had returned to the police station unscathed.

Ever since Yang Ji received Yuan Yuan’s call last night, the three of them had been a little apprehensive, afraid that something would happen to him. Besides, the Master had said before that Yang Ji would be the next one to encounter trouble, so when they saw that Yang Ji was alive, the three of them were very excited and happy.

They all stepped forward excitedly to greet Yang Ji.

Yang Ji was especially glad and excited at the thought of escaping death last night. He was also very happy to see the three of them now. He said gratefully to Wang Jinyang, “Jinyang, thank you. Fortunately, you answered my call last night and told Master and Director Feng my address! Otherwise, I would have died!”

Wang Jinyang was excited that Yang Ji was fine, but was a bit confused when he suddenly heard his words. What call? He hadn’t received any call from Yang Ji at all last night.

Wang Jinyang’s expression was strange, and so were Yi Junzhong and Li Xiaoyan’s. After all, they had been together. If Wang Jinyang really had received a call from Yang Ji, how could the two of them not know?

The two immediately asked Wang Jinyang, “Jinyang, when did your call get through to Yang Ji last night?”

Wang Jinyang was puzzled and stupefied. “Yang Ji’s phone was switched off last night. How could my calls get through?”

After listening to Wang Jinyang, Yahg Ji increasingly felt that something was wrong. He thought of how Master Chi and Director Feng had also been stumped after listening to him at breakfast. Could it be that he really hadn’t gotten through to Wang Jinyang last night?

But he had clearly said a lot to Jinyang last night.

Yang Ji didn’t believe him. After confirming again, he gave an approximate time. “No, Jinyang, I used the landline in my apartment to call you last night. You said that you would immediately let Master Chi know!”

Not only didn’t Wang Jinyang have any memory of this, Yang Ji’s words made Wang Jinyang, Yi Junzhong and Li Xiaoyan’s hair stand on end.

Wang Jinyang cautiously confirmed with Yang Ji, “Yang Ji, are you sure you didn’t dream about calling me last night? I really didn’t receive any call from you, let alone talk to you. If you don’t believe me, ask Junzhong and Xiaoyan.” After a pause, Wang Jinyang simply called him Brother Ji. “Brother Ji, don’t scare me. I’m timid and can’t take a scare!”

Yang Ji still wanted to talk about it, but suddenly remembered the constant rustling that he had heard over the phone last night. Jinyang’s voice had also seemed a little off, and his tone was a little sharp.

The more Yang Ji thought about things, the more he felt like a duck that had been grabbed by the neck. He couldn’t utter a word, and his face changed drastically as he swayed on the spot. A cold chill ran down his spine.

Feng Yuanlin stood at the door and listened to the boys’ conversation. He could be considered to have a fair bit of experience in this field now, and guessed that it really wasn’t Wang Jinyang who had picked up the call – it probably hadn’t been a ‘person’ at all. He immediately looked at Yang Ji sympathetically.

At that moment, it wasn’t just Yang Ji who was in shock. The other three were also alarmed. Then, a clear ringtone rang out, scaring everyone. Yi Junzhong came back to his senses after a while and immediately picked up the call. He heard Chai Qing’s anxious voice. “Brother Yi, something happened to Sister Yuan. Come to the hospital to see her!”
