"Damn it! Why are you so touchy?"
I was truly enraged this time. I grabbed the collar of the dazed Police Officer Xiao Fu and shouted, "Didn't your mother teach you not to mess with a girl's things?"
Police Officer Xiao Fu was so scared that he was completely numb. He didn't even know how he got slapped!
Above his head, A Jian stared menacingly at the two men in the room with a livid face.
"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry," Police Officer Xue quickly stepped forward to smooth things over. "He's just too young and doesn't know the seriousness of things."
"What seriousness could there be!"
Xiao Fu covered his swollen cheek and said, "They're just a few red ropes. It's all hocus - pocus and nonsense!"
I was almost boiling with anger.
That whirlwind was the soul - capturing technique performed by the little ghost's "father". The little ghost failed to complete his task, and I didn't even want to imagine what cruel punishment he would receive when he went back. The look of fear and pleading on his face was still vivid in my mind. I simply loathed this Police Officer Xiao Fu who had done something wrong but was still so self - righteous!
A Jian had already struck again. He grabbed Xiao Fu and slapped him twice more, then threw him against the wall. Even Wang Yingxiu, who had been invisible in the wall, walked out eerily.
"Assaulting a police officer!! How dare you assault a police officer?!"
Police Officer Xiao Fu finally came to his senses and tried desperately to get up from the ground, but he was held down by A Jian and couldn't move at all.
The room became even colder. Police Officer Xue quickly stood in front of Police Officer Xiao Fu.
"Little girl, it's all my apprentice's fault. Whatever you need to make up for this, just tell me."
In this situation, how could Police Officer Xue not notice something strange? When they received the call, they had already questioned Song Yixuan, and that guy clearly said that he was thrown out of the window by someone.
Now there was only me in the room. With my height and strength, it was certainly impossible for me to pick up a man over 1.8 meters tall and throw him out of the window.
Obviously, my helper was the invisible but omnipresent force in the room!
"You make up for it?!"
They were law - enforcers in the human world. How could they help me find the person who raised the little ghost?
Seeing that I was grinding my teeth in anger, Police Officer Xue sighed. He took out a pen from his pocket and wrote a phone number for me. "If you need any help in the future, just call me."
Seeing that I had no intention of taking it, he had to put the card on the table. He then slapped the stunned Police Officer Xiao Fu on the ground hard and said, "Apologize. Let's go."
"I... I!"
Xiao Fu still wanted to struggle, but Police Officer Xue pressed his head and made him bow to me. Then he dragged him out of my room.
"Wait a minute!"
Just as the two of them were about to go out, I still managed to suppress my anger and called them back.
"One for each of you!"
I stuffed two amulet bags for warding off evil into Police Officer Xue's hands. "Thank you for blocking that whirlwind for me just now."
That whirlwind just now carried evil qi, which would lower a person's fortune. This Police Officer Xue was already having a bad year, and they were doing such a dangerous job. I was afraid something might happen to them.
"Thank you," Police Officer Xue thanked me, but he put both amulets into his upper - pocket.
Now, it was already broad daylight. Watching the figures of the two police officers in the corridor gradually fade away, A Jian said in the shadow of the room, "Xiao He, actually you don't have to care about them..."
I pursed my lips and mumbled, "They're just two yellow amulets. They're not worth much."
...
Although the two yellow amulets weren't worth much, I still had to get on with my life.
When the news of Song Yixuan's injury started to spread on the Internet, I had just finished an interview with a small company and walked out of the building. At that moment, Wei Yuan's call came in. "Miss Du, you're really not being nice!"
In the WeChat call, Wei Yuan's voice was full of dissatisfaction. "You even let Song Yixuan go to your place? I don't even know your address yet!"
"What did you say?"
Walking on the street in the middle of summer, I suddenly felt a chill all over my body. "Song Yixuan. He wasn't sent by you... to my place?!"
Oh no!! I finally remembered why Song Yixuan's appearance had given me such a strange feeling!!
He said he was introduced by Wei Yuan, but Wei Yuan only had my phone number and didn't know my new address!
"Hello, hello!! Where are you?!! I'll come find you!"
Wei Yuan still sounded like a spoiled rich kid on the phone.
"Stay away from me!"
I hung up the phone with a "snap" and subconsciously looked around.
It was noon on a weekday. There weren't many people on the street, but I felt like I was being watched. It seemed as if there were invisible eyes constantly peering at me.
What was going on?!!
Song Yixuan had met Si Jiangchen before!!
Could it be that Si Jiangchen already knew my new residence and sent him there to spy on me?!!
No, that couldn't be right...
Although I had only met that guy a few times, based on his personality, if he knew where I was, he would probably come and arrest me right away!
My mind was in a complete mess when my phone rang again.
Without even looking, I directly muted the phone and stuffed it into my bag. Then I took out the ivory carving compass that Lu Dayong had given me and pointed it at the building where I had just had the interview.
This was the largest business district in the northern part of the capital. Countless business miracles were happening in each high - rise building.
The building I had just walked out of was called the Haiyue Building. It had 37 floors. The company I had an interview with was on the 29th floor. It was a small company with only six offices, a public relations company mainly engaged in business planning and marketing activities.
The reason I came here was that I had used the compass to locate the position of my grandpa, Du Wenzhong.
He was lying in the hospital. Only the seven souls that maintained his physical functions were in his body, while his three souls were missing.
These days, I had visited the underworld twice, but I still couldn't find any clues about my grandpa.
Searching for someone in the underworld was actually quite simple. As long as you knew the person's birth date and name, it was as easy as searching for a keyword in a computer.
So, I shifted my focus to the human world.
My grandpa was an old fortune - teller with no self - protection ability, but he had always been in good health. Thinking about it now, the sudden cerebral hemorrhage he suffered might not be a real illness. Instead, someone might have captured his three souls and imprisoned them somewhere in this world, just like they did with those little ghosts!
After wandering around the capital with the compass that Lu Dayong had given me for a few days, I finally detected the weak fluctuations of his soul body. It was somewhere in this 37 - story Haiyue Building!
I had once tried to go in directly to look for him, but the entry requirements for this kind of building were very strict. It was based on work appointments.
I didn't have any friends who worked in this kind of building!
After being kicked out twice, finally... I came up with an idea: to apply for a job!
There were many companies in the building. I found the companies with addresses here on the recruitment website and sent my resumes one by one. I was quite lucky. Three companies gave me interview opportunities. Finally, I could go into the building legitimately to look for clues about my grandpa's soul body.
However, I really underestimated a high - rise building.
The 37 - story building was like a piece of paper crumpled into a ball, with countless hidden spaces that I couldn't reach.
Today's Hanyu Planning was the last company I interviewed with, but I still couldn't accurately find Du Wenzhong's exact location...
I had to think of other ways!
