Chapter 32
Targeted by a Female Ghost
“Yunbao, that’s your mother’s calligraphy.” Gu Luo introduced it to her. The calligraphy was delicate and beautiful, and had its personal style. It was very beautiful. Yunbao reached out to touch the words on it, but she silently recited the incantation she had learned yesterday. Because just now, her master had asked her to pay attention to this monolith. Sure enough, after the incantation ended, a woman who had lost an arm appeared.
As the woman who had lost her arm appeared, a memory slowly appeared in front of her.
At that time, the woman was not yet handicapped. She was squatting beside the stone and carving words bit by bit. Due to Gu Luo’s high requirements, every stroke had to be done by hand. The woman complained as she worked.
“What kind of lousy job is this? The efficiency is so slow. How can I earn money? If I don’t have money, I won’t be able to pay my debts. Loan sharks don’t wait for people!”
The man, who had been working silently beside the woman, came over. “He Han, I have a job that pays quickly. Do you want to do it?”
He Han’s interest was piqued when she heard this. However, this man had just arrived at their construction site three days ago. He Han was a little worried. “It can’t be some kind of sex deal, right? I’m not that kind of person.” However, He Han was still a little curious.
“No.” The man leaned over again. “It’s just a very simple thing.” The man’s eyes looked left and right to make sure that no one was around before he leaned over. He took out a bag of powder from his pocket and said in a volume that only two people could hear, “The day after tomorrow, the CEO will treat us to a meal. Just add this to his water.”
In order to reward these workers, Gu Lin would mobilize people to treat them to a meal every month and he would also appear briefly to give a speech. As one of the few women among the workers, He Han was selected to toast on behalf of everyone.
“Don’t worry, this isn’t poison. It won’t kill anyone and it won’t be traced back to you.” The man was afraid that He Han wouldn’t agree, so he stretched out two fingers. “This amount after the matter is done.”
“Two thousand?” He Han thought that it was not worth it to risk losing her job or even going to jail for such a small amount of money. The man shook his head in disdain.
“Could it be 20,000 yuan?” He Han was interested. 20,000 yuan was already more than ten months of her salary.
The man still shook his head. “It’s 200,000.”
“200,000!” He Han shouted when she heard that. It would take her more than 10 years of hard work to save up that money. Now, she could easily get it. It would be a waste not to do such a good deal. He Han took the powder from the man and forgot her worries.
“Yunbao? Yunbao?” After Gu Luo finished the introduction, Yunbao was in a state of thought. No matter how he and Gu Zi called out, there was no reaction, which frightened the two of them.
“Ah.” Yunbao came back to her senses. Was the stone trying to tell her something? And who was that uncle? “Yunbao is fine.”
Yunbao looked at the woman who had appeared in front of her. It was obvious that she was the owner of that memory—He Han. However, she wanted to tell Yunbao something. That woman, or rather, the female ghost, was floating on the stone. Her face was pale and she was missing an arm as she looked at her silently.
“Yunbao, are you really alright?” Gu Luo touched Yunbao’s forehead, worried that she was not feeling well.
“Yes, yes. Third Uncle, Yunbao is fine!”
The three of them continued walking. Yunbao was still thinking about what had just happened.
“My good disciple, that female ghost followed you here.” Song Yun’s voice suddenly sounded. Yunbao was a little stiff. She slowly turned around and realized that the female ghost was really floating behind them. Her face turned pale.
Previously, Yunbao had treated that memory as a story and did not have much of a reaction. However, now that this female ghost was following her, she felt that it was real.
When Gu Zi saw Yunbao suddenly turn around and look at her, her expression was as if she had seen a ghost. She looked behind her suspiciously and saw nothing. Could it be that there was something on her face? Gu Zi quickly took out a mirror from her bag and looked at herself carefully. She was fine.
“Master, what does that female ghost want?” Yunbao spoke to Song Yun in her heart.
“That female ghost was framed. Although it was karma, it still didn’t end well…”
Yunbao seemed to be lost in thought.
Ye Yan had been busy at home for the entire morning just so that she could have a legitimate reason to go to the construction site to look for her husband and daughter at noon. She had asked the previous person and the matter had been handled perfectly without anyone noticing. Ye Yan naturally put her heart at ease and thought of a way to win Gu Lin back.
“Mom, I’ll bring food to Gu Lin in the afternoon.” Ye Yan saw Old Madam Gu sitting in the living room in a wheelchair and reading a book, so she specially explained.
“Mm,” Old Madam Gu replied. However, Ye Yan felt in her heart. She had always felt that Father and Mother Gu looked down on her background and did not like her children.
