"My eyes!! I can't see!"
As the little ghost bared its teeth and covered Mrs. Sun's eyes, she instantly groped around blindly like a blind person.
Wenwen, who was beside her, was splashed all over with the thick cream soup. Her pink thousand - layer cake dress studded with shiny rhinestones was in a complete mess.
"Mommy!! Ahh! My dress is dirty!"
Sure enough, a child's emotions were easily swayed by unexpected events. Just now, she was scared of the ugly little "friend" on her mother's head. The next second, she got angry because her new dress was soiled.
She tried to grab Mrs. Sun's hand, but was mercilessly flung aside. Mrs. Sun couldn't see at the moment. When suddenly grabbed by someone, she instinctively flung the person away.
Wenwen staggered and almost cried.
Suddenly seeing me and Si Tong looking at them as if watching a good show, she immediately flew into a rage and reached out her hands to scratch at Si Tong's face.
"Bad luck star! Who asked you to eat in the same restaurant as us?!"
A child's nails were thin and sharp. If she scratched Si Tong, there would definitely be several bloodstains. I quickly reached out to block Wenwen's little hand that was about to scratch Si Tong. Unexpectedly, her original target was not Si Tong but me.
While I was bending down and lowering my head, Wenwen's fingers scratched four red bloodstains on my neck.
"What's the use of a little nanny looking so good - looking!"
Wenwen proudly tossed her head and stretched out her chubby little hand again. "I missed just now. Let me scratch your face!"
Si Tong finally reacted at this moment. She jumped off the chair and pushed hard on Wenwen's shoulder, sending her staggering and sitting down on the ground with a thud.
"Ahh..."
She immediately wailed and burst into tears.
The high - end restaurant instantly became as chaotic as a children's playground. Some customers had already complained about our table, and the restaurant manager trotted over.
"What's going on?"
Instead of asking us customers directly, he frowned and glared at the waiter.
"Manager, it's... it's Mrs. Sun."
The waiter didn't dare to say in front of the regular customer that Mrs. Sun had suddenly gone crazy and shouted. She pointed at Mrs. Sun, who was gradually calming down, and whispered to the manager, "She said... there's a ghost in our restaurant..."
"Nonsense!"
The manager instinctively retorted.
Sheraton was a luxury hotel with a reputation of several decades. If there were rumors of a haunted hotel, their hotel's image would probably be greatly damaged!
Mrs. Sun could see the surrounding scenery again at this time. Because the little ghost saw that I was injured, it had already rushed menacingly to the top of Wenwen's head, the one who had scratched me. It bared its teeth and stared menacingly at the chubby girl. As long as I gave the order, it could make her fall downstairs by herself.
I quickly shook my head.
Mrs. Sun was still in a state of shock. Her hair, which was originally neatly groomed, was now in a mess like a chicken coop. She touched her head and face, then glanced at the window glass. Immediately, she let out a scream and rushed towards Wenwen, beating her head wildly. "There's a ghost!! You still say there's no ghost in your restaurant! Look! Look!"
Wenwen wailed even louder from being beaten by her mother. The crying when she was pushed by Si Tong just now was mostly for show.
But now she was really being beaten mercilessly by her mother. Her little face was black and blue. This time, she was really wailing bitterly.
The manager and the waiter were even more confused. They tried to stop Mrs. Sun while protecting Wenwen.
"Mrs. Sun, look clearly. This is your daughter!"
The manager's hand in front of Wenwen's head was scratched several times by Mrs. Sun. He cursed under his breath that this was a crazy woman!
"Hey?"
Just as the commotion in the hall was reaching a fever pitch, a group of people walked down the spiral staircase leading to the third floor. A young man in a moon - white Tang suit who was in the middle stopped. "There's someone here raising a little ghost!"
I was startled and quickly looked up. I saw Du Peiyun, who looked like an otherworldly immortal, being surrounded by a group of people. He was looking at me with a hostile look in his eyes.
"Husband!!"
Mrs. Sun, who was chasing and beating her daughter, also saw the group of people on the stairs. She cried out to the middle - aged man standing behind Du Peiyun in the crowd, "There's a ghost! A ghost is haunting our daughter!"
The middle - aged man was wearing a suit and looked like a leader in a government department. When he saw his wife and daughter being watched like a circus show below, his face instantly turned extremely ugly.
"What's wrong with you? Can't even have a meal in peace!"
Although he was clearly scolding his wife and daughter, the restaurant manager was sweating profusely.
This Mrs. Sun was the wife of the middle - aged man, Sun Liren. Although Sun Liren held a certain position, in the capital where high - ranking officials abounded, he was just the deputy director of the Religious Affairs Bureau and couldn't compare with the big shots at all. However, he was a special figure.
The more powerful the people in China were, the more they believed in fortune - telling.
Those in power always looked for capable people and strange hermits in the world to tell their fortunes.
How to find these capable people and strange hermits all over the country?
Naturally, they had to ask the leaders of the Religious Affairs Bureau for help... Since Lin Fangyu died in a car accident three years ago, the position of the director of the Religious Affairs Bureau had been vacant, and so far, no suitable candidate had been found.
The big shots above wanted to find a more powerful person to replace the Lin family and take charge of the Religious Affairs Bureau.
Originally, they had their eyes on the Lu family in Runan. However, the Lu family was in constant internal strife, and many of their direct descendants had died in the far - north areas in previous years. After being greatly weakened, they politely declined the invitation to join the Religious Affairs Bureau.
The Du family in Northern Henan was not the top choice of the big shots at first. Since the direct descendants of the Du family were almost completely massacred a hundred years ago, only a very distant branch had survived. They were originally from the corpse - driving business and couldn't be put on the table.
However, later, no one knew what kind of profit exchange the clan leader of the Du family had with those big shots. The big shots actually initially agreed to let Du Peiyun take a post in the Religious Affairs Bureau. Now they were just here for a meal to get in touch with Deputy Director Sun Liren.
Sun Liren's scolding of his wife and daughter not only made the restaurant manager turn pale, but also made the people following Du Peiyun couldn't help but speak up.
"Humph! How dare you let a ghost commit violence in broad daylight!"
A guy in a blue Taoist robe, looking indignant, said to Sun Liren, "Director Sun, don't worry. It's just a low - level little ghost. Let me go and subdue it!"
Saying that, he actually flipped over the railing and landed in front of us. He reached out his hand, made a magic gesture, and grabbed at the little ghost on Wenwen's head.
How could I let him catch the little ghost?
I quickly stepped forward and stood between him and Wenwen.
"You witch! Raising a little ghost and still daring to act wildly here. Do you really think there are no masters in the capital?"
The Taoist priest snorted when he saw a little girl like me daring to stop him from doing justice for the heavens. He immediately slapped me hard on the chest!
