At that moment, whether it was Feng Yuanlin, Xiao Ningjin or the others, they were all scared out of their wits by Chi Shuyan. Feng Yuanlin naturally trusted Shuyan deeply and didn’t doubt her words at all. At the thought that someone would die, his face was very solemn. He couldn’t care less about the others, and immediately made a call to deal with the matter.
As for the others, they were really curious as to how godly Master Chi was, especially Wei Panyang, whose eyes were practically brimming with curiosity.
Chi Shuyan thought of the girl just now and sighed in her heart. Fine, she had said and done everything she could. As for whether the girl could live or not, that would depend on her luck.
Wei Panyang suddenly said, “I think I saw that girl before in the hospital!”
He had a deep impression of the girl because his mother had nagged about it. She said that there was a girl a few floors below them who was unfilial. Her father was still hospitalized and they couldn’t afford the hospital fees, but that girl was dressed in branded clothes.
Wei Panyang had seen the girl once before, when his mother took him to the attending doctor’s office. His mother had pointed out the young lady and given him a meaningful look. His mother had also warned him that when he married in the future, he had to look at a girl’s character and not just her looks. At that time, he had taken a few more looks at the girl and saw that she was indeed carrying a branded bag. The jewelry she wore was all branded and expensive, so he didn’t have a good impression of her.
After ending the call, Feng Yuanlin suddenly walked over. “Shuyan, what you just said, is it that serious?”
Thinking of Shuyan’s abilities, however, Feng Yuanlin felt that it was a dumb question. He subconsciously wanted to take a taxi and follow the car, but it had long driven away. Feeling a little regretful, Feng Yuanlin glanced at the boys and suddenly asked, “Did anyone see the license plate number of that car just now?”
Who would look at a license plate for no reason? Everyone fell silent.
It had been an urgent matter just now, and Chi Shuyan had been too busy stopping the car from driving away to look at the license plate number. So, she really couldn’t answer Brother Feng’s question either.
Feng Yuanlin sighed and said, “It’s fine. I’ll get the hospital to pull up the surveillance footage later!”
However, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to save the girl in time.
Yuanlin didn’t have a good impression of that girl. Although he hadn’t gone over just now, he had seen that she seemed to have a very bad temper and had almost slammed the door on Shuyan’s arm, simply misunderstanding the latter’s good intentions.
If it were an ordinary girl, even if she might not have listened, her attitude wouldn’t have been so bad, and things wouldn’t have gone so badly. It could only be said that she had brought it on herself.
Xiao Ningjin asked curiously, “Master Chi, will something really happen to that woman?”
As soon as Xiao Ningjin asked the question, the others also looked at Chi Shuyan. Chi Shuyan didn’t want this young lady’s matter to affect them. She was about to speak, when a tall, imposing man got out of the car not far away. His deep voice rang out. “Shuyan!”
This was the first time the man had called her name. Chi Shuyan was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked in Qi Zhenbai’s direction. She was afraid of the man waiting too long, so she said to Xiao Ningjin and the others, “Don’t think too much about this. Think about your own matter! Carry my talismans on you at all times, or you’ll have to bear the consequences yourself!”
In the end, Chi Shuyan said to Feng Yuanlin, “Brother Feng, I’ll go back first. Let me know immediately if there’s any news. I’ll see if I can take a few days off tomorrow afternoon. I’ll go to Swan Lake myself first!”
Feng Yuanlin nodded. “Go, Zhenbai is waiting for you!”
Xiao Ningjin and the others shuddered at Chi Shuyan’s warning and exhortation. They hurriedly touched the talismans which Master Chi had given to them. After confirming that the talismans were in their pockets, they heaved sighs of relief. They then looked curiously at the tall and imposing man not far away. Because of the light, they couldn’t see his face clearly, but they vaguely sensed that he wasn’t an ordinary person.
If it were any other time, the group of boys probably wouldn’t be able to avoid gossiping. They were a little curious now, but when they thought about their situation, they really weren’t in the mood to gossip.
Seeing Master Chi get into the car with the tall man, Xiao Ningjin and the others withdrew their gazes and looked at Feng Yuanlin.
Feng Yuanlin said, “It’s best if you all stay together tonight and take care of each other. If anything happens to any one of you, the rest will know. Don’t use the washroom outside after midnight. Just use the washroom in the ward.”
Feng Yuanlin didn’t forget to remind Wei Panyang to give those talismans to Father and Mother Wei.
“I can’t accompany you brats tonight. After midnight, don’t go out or open the door!”
Xiao Ningjin and the others immediately nodded in agreement. They were very apprehensive and their faces were pale. It was only when they touched the talismans that their expressions improved a little.
In the car, Chi Shuyan was still thinking about how Xiao Ningjin and the others had provoked a great ghost, and about that girl. For a moment, she didn’t speak. She leaned her head against the car window and looked pensive.
“What happened?” The man’s tone was quite cold, but Chi Shuyan could hear some concern in it.
Chi Shuyan suppressed her thoughts and looked at the man next to her. Her heart couldn’t help but soften. She did want to tell him that she might be leaving tomorrow, but she didn’t know if she could go since her leave hadn’t been approved yet.
At the thought of taking leave, Chi Shuyan felt very guilty. It hadn’t been long since school started, and she had already applied for leave many times. It would be difficult for Counselor Zhang if she asked for leave again.
But if she didn’t do so, she wouldn’t be at ease until the matter of the great ghost was resolved.
Chi Shuyan didn’t want the man in front of her to worry, so she shook her head and said, “It’s fine! It’s just a small matter!”
Qi Zhenbai didn’t ask any more questions. Chi Shuyan looked at the familiar, handsome, and sharp face, and suddenly thought of how she had crossed the line with Brother Feng, and how she had waited for the man’s reply. Every time she thought of this, Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but feel very guilty. She looked at him a few more times and gritted her teeth. “Well… have you thought about what happened? Can you give me an answer?”
Chi Shuyan finally plucked up the courage to say this. The man didn’t say anything for a long time, and when she looked at him, he gave her a sharp inscrutable gaze.
Chi Shuyan: …
What was with this look? Was he going to forgive her for forcing herself on Brother Feng or not?
Seeing that the man didn’t speak for a long time, Chi Shuyan could only grit her teeth and explain again, “That… I really don’t have any ulterior motives toward Brother Feng. Don’t think too much. Even if I took advantage of Brother Feng, it was because I was drunk and my alcohol tolerance wasn’t good!”
Chi Shuyan realized that the more she explained, the darker the man’s face became.
Before she could speak again, she heard the man say, “Hm? I’m not curious about your alcohol tolerance, but I’m curious about what you think about ‘a man marrying into your family.’ As long as I’m unwilling, can you simply let another man become a son-in-law of your family, or be your man?”
The man’s tone grew deeper toward the end, and there was even a hint of coldness and anger in his eyes!
