Bai Ningning, a timid girl with a ghost-attracting physique, unexpectedly entered the Metaphysics University. Due to her cowardice and inability to catch ghosts, she became the academic bottom-feed...
Bai Ningning called an online taxi to Lianhuafang and waited by the roadside.
"Ms. Bai?" A luxury car stopped in front of her - it came from the Ninghua Financial parking lot. It was probably the senior executive who was negotiating with Lu Shi.
Chu Hanzhou thought he would never see Bai Ningning again, but unexpectedly, there was a ray of hope. As soon as he left the house, he ran into Bai Ningning on the roadside. He immediately asked the driver to stop and greeted her: "I am Chu Hanzhou, the general manager of Ninghua Finance."
Bai Ningning showed no expression: "Hello, what's going on?"
Chu Hanzhou took the initiative to show his goodwill: "Master Lu is exorcising ghosts for our company and will be busy for a while. Where are you going, Miss Bai? I can give you a ride."
Bai Ningning: "No, I called an online taxi."
[Can’t wait for the car, can only wait for the big brother]
[He's here! He's the scumbag villain number one!]
[Tagged as a wealthy CEO, but a scumbag, a small boss]
[I like gentlemen like Big Brother, not because he has hundreds of billions of assets]
【I just hi my husband】
Bai Ningning has become accustomed to the sudden barrage of comments, and she is even calm and composed, with her expression remaining unchanged.
Anyway, what they say may not be right, so just listen to them half-heartedly.
Bai Ningning looked at Chu Hanzhou: "Anything else?"
Chu Hanzhou knew when to stop, as if it was just a casual remark. He didn't bother to argue with her when she refused, but instead said, "I just reached a partnership with Master Lu. All my businesses will maintain friendly relations with Qingwei Mountain. You can call her to confirm..."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Ningning's phone rang. She raised her hand and walked to the side: "Sorry, I have to answer the phone."
It is an unfamiliar phone number, and the mark shows online car-hailing.
She picked up the phone, and the other party said, "Can you cancel your order? Lotus Square is quite far away. If you charter a car for the whole day, I can accompany you, but it's not cost-effective to go there just once, and I don't know how long you'll be there."
Bai Ningning: "Okay, I'll cancel."
The driver wanted to say something, but Bai Ningning hung up the phone and canceled the order.
She knew that the driver wanted her to bypass the platform and charter a car privately, but she had to be responsible for her own safety and decided to charter a car on another platform.
[Get in the car, get in the car, follow the big brother directly]
[I also want a brother like this woooo ...
[As long as Ningning gets on this car, she won’t have to worry about spending money in the future]
Bai Ningning: “…”
Seeing that the luxury car on the side of the road had not yet left, she walked over and asked politely, "What can I do for you? Just tell me."
Chu Hanzhou didn't seem unhappy about being ignored at all. He continued with the previous topic, "Master Lu said there's a mole in our company. I don't have any clues at the moment, and I'm about to investigate. I'd like to ask if you have any clues to provide."
He knew that Bai Ningning had been investigating Cheng Jingwu recently, and he intended to use this as an introduction to get Bai Ningning to ask him for help.
Bai Ningning happened to have a guess in her mind and asked, "Did this branch's performance surge at some point, then plummet a while ago?"
Chu Hanzhou: "Yes, I was sent by headquarters to investigate for this reason."
"Then you should start with Cheng Jingwu."
Bai Ningning wanted to remind him that Cheng Jingwu probably borrowed the company's luck to help his son prepare for the college entrance examination, but the metaphysical world only cares about ghosts and not people. They don't care about things that have already happened. At most, they will let everything return to the status quo - besides, the source of this sudden surge in luck may not be normal.
Bai Ningning stopped there, as Cheng Jingwu might have evaded taxes or embezzled public funds.
"Thank you." Seeing that she was unwilling to cooperate with his investigation, Chu Hanzhou offered another olive branch. "Your online car hasn't arrived yet. Do you need us to give you a ride?"
"No, thank you." Bai Ningning refused directly, and her defensive attitude was quite obvious.
"Good luck to you then."
Chu Hanzhou smiled and nodded, and asked the driver to drive away.
[Ningning——I hate you for being a piece of wood]
Ningning is really cautious. I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
[Everyone, please don't complain from a God's perspective. To Ningning, Big Brother is just a stranger they met for the first time.]
If you encounter a stranger on the street who invites you into a car, be sure to learn from Ningning! Firmly refuse the other person!
[But this is my biological brother. Didn’t Ningning reject a great opportunity?]
We know from a bird's-eye view that this is the older brother, but Ningning doesn't know. And who says a brother is always good to his sister? What if he wants to use Ningning's special physique to do something bad?
Bai Ningning ignored the quarrel in the barrage. After talking with Chu Hanzhou, she changed her mind and decided to go upstairs to find Lu Shi. If Chu Hanzhou did not lie to her, then Cheng Jingwu was suspected of changing his fate by borrowing his luck. There might be a dangerous formation in his idle villa. She could not take the risk without permission.
When Bai Ningning found Lu, she briefly mentioned her suspicions: "Can you check the scores of Cheng Jingwu's two sons' mock exams and college entrance exams? I suspect Cheng Jingwu used the Ghost Gathering Formation to make a deal with someone, using luck to help his sons get good scores on the college entrance exam."
Lu Shi was using a compass to search for any ghosts that might have remained in the building. When he heard her say that, he casually asked, "Where did you deduce that?"
Bai Ningning: "Because it's very strange. I just ran into Mr. Chu downstairs. He said that Ninghua Finance's performance suddenly soared at a certain time, but then plummeted a while ago. It happened to be before the college entrance examination, and Cheng Jingwu had two sons taking the exam. I think there is a problem."
Lu Shi paused slightly when she heard "Boss Chu," then continued with her work. After Bai Ningning finished speaking, she asked, "What did you talk about with Mr. Chu?"
Bai Ningning blinked. "That's all. Then he asked me where I was going and offered to give me a ride, but I declined. The online taxi driver called me and said it wasn't cost-effective to go to Lianhua Square and asked me to cancel the order. That's why I came to see you."
Didn't Chu Hanzhou say he had established a friendly cooperative relationship with Lu Shi? Lu Shi was indeed helping Ninghua Finance exorcise the evil spirits, but her attitude didn't seem friendly at all...
Lu Shi's tone softened considerably: "It's right to refuse. There's something wrong with this guy. Stay away from him. Next time you see him, take a detour."
Bai Ningning nodded obediently: "Okay, Cheng Jingwu's matter..."
Lu Shi handed her the phone. "Go through the system process and ask Master for your account number. He has the authority to check your scores. After that, I'll go with you to Cheng Jingwu's house. Maybe we'll get something."
"Okay." Bai Ningning got the promise she wanted and smiled happily. She operated her mobile phone while following Lu Shi without raising her head, just like the automatic following in the game.
Bai Ningning got the permission, but was worried about the query system, so she asked Lu Shi for help: "Senior sister, I don't know the name or school. Can you ask Sister Juan for me?"
She didn't want to reveal the fact that she could suddenly see ghosts. Not to mention whether this ability was stable or not, if she could really see ghosts, it would prove that her spiritual orifice was about to open - it also meant that she would most likely be sent into the soul-transforming formation by Yuan Xiushuo.
She had to escape from Qingwei Mountain before being discovered.
Lu Shi summoned Ma Juan and asked him the names and schools of his twin sons.
Ma Juan looked at Bai Ningning, but Bai Ningning pretended not to see her and stared at Lu Shi.
Lu Shi repeated, "They are both from Beiyang No. 1 Middle School. One is called Cheng Annan and the other is called Cheng Anbei."
Ma Juan added: "Safety is the same as safety in the north, south, east, west and north."
Bai Ningning seemed not to hear her, and asked as she spoke, "Which words?"
Ma Juan looked at Bai Ningning in confusion, thinking that she couldn't see her again.
Lu Shi: "An means safety, and north and south means direction."
"I found out...hiss, huh?" Bai Ningning suddenly took a breath in confusion. "The two brothers' grades were similar. Their first and second mock exam scores were not high, around 300 or 400 points. But in the third mock exam, they suddenly scored over 600 points. Their college entrance exam scores were also over 600 points."
Lu Shi asked Sister Juan to return the card and asked Bai Ningning, "What are the results of the final exams for the first and second year of high school?"
Bai Ningning: "Very poor, I doubt it will even get a certificate."
Lu Shi's eyes lit up, and he found a breakthrough: "Where's the map? Let me see it."
Bai Ningning gave her the map: "These circles were drawn by Sister Juan."
This is another map she prepared. It is made up of circles drawn in green, with no distinction between dotted and solid lines.
Lu Shi stared at the map, reached out to Bai Ningning for a pen, and asked, "Where are we now?"
Bai Ningning opened the navigation software on her phone and handed it to her: "Look for it yourself, I'm a bit directionally challenged."
She has an excellent memory, except for directions.
Lu Shi took a black pen and circled the location of Ninghua Finance. He then picked out a few green circles and circled them again with a black pen. Among them were the two villas that Bai Ningning felt were problematic.
Lu Shi sighed at the map: "It's a huge city formation. No wonder the ghost energy is so strong."
Bai Ningning: "Ah? But they... I mean the freshmen this year, they all said that the ghost aura is very weak, so don't worry about it."
Lu Shi: "They are idiots."
It was visible to the naked eye that Lu Shi was becoming increasingly irritable.
Bai Ningning asked: "When will Mimi come back?"
Before they entered Ninghua Finance, Lu Shi let the cat out to explore the distribution of ghost energy in Beiyang City.
Lu Shi is in two different states when there is a cat and when there is no cat. When the cat is around her, she is always smiling and very easy to talk to; but as long as she is away from the cat for a while, both she and the cat will become quite irritable.
The people on Qingwei Mountain have some strange problems. Some people say that it is because of these defects that they have the opportunity to open their spiritual orifices to make up for them.
Lu Shi glanced at the time and said, "I'll be back by dinner time. I'll finish this first. You stay here."
"Okay." Bai Ningning stepped aside to watch the barrage fight.
The barrage of comments seems to have gone on for several rounds, ranging from whether to refuse advances from unfamiliar people, to the sweetness and saltiness of rice dumplings, to the sweetness and saltiness of tofu pudding, and now they have started to argue about which city has more delicious food.
At dinner time, in a private room, Bai Ningning and Lu Shi sat at the two ends of the dining table, with the menu in front of Bai Ningning and the map in front of Lu Shi.
Bai Ningning spent a long time watching the barrage of comments about food, so much so that now she's greedy for everything she sees.
Mimi used her cat paws to point out the areas with heavier ghost auras on the map, which coincidentally coincided with the areas circled with black pen on the map.
Lu Shi stared at the Lotus Square Villa area on the map, which had been stepped on twice by the cat, and said to Bai Ningning, "Your IQ is incredible. You clearly haven't opened your spiritual acupoints, so how did you manage to reach the area with the heaviest ghost energy? It's a good thing you didn't go there by yourself. If you had gone by yourself..."
Bai Ningning: "Would you like some chicken wings? Okay."
"?"
When Lu Shi looked up, he found that Bai Ningning was ordering the dishes very seriously, ticking and circling the items on the menu as if she was doing homework.
Lu Shi snatched the menu away: "Still thinking about chicken wings! You almost got eaten by a ghost!"
"Don't you want chicken wings?"
Bai Ningning blinked blankly, then looked at Mimi, who had a fierce look in her eyes, and asked in confusion: "Fake cat?"
How come the cat and its owner are reunited, but why are both the man and the cat still so grumpy?
Mimi was so angry that her fur exploded, and she pounced on her - stupid human, how dare you question this meow?!
Bai Ningning quickly lifted Mimi up and avoided its claws: "Have you been vaccinated? Don't scratch me."
Bai Ningning discovered that Mimi in her eyes still did not have yin-yang eyes, and both eyes were a beautiful sapphire blue.
This meant she couldn't see ghosts again.
Lu Shi suddenly said, "By the way, Lu Yu said she told you another fortune."
"?"
Bai Ningning was puzzled: "Have I offended her in any way recently?"
Lu Shi was amused by her reaction and said, "She suggested that I always take you with me when I go out, saying that there will be a lot of evil spirits surrounding you recently."
Bai Ningning silently took the menu back: "It's okay as long as there are no ghosts around now, let me eat first."
Lu Shi gossiped with her casually: "I heard that someone sneaked into the forbidden area a few days ago. Master is investigating. I don't know who was so desperate to run into the forbidden area."
Bai Ningning paused as she ticked the menu, then quickly returned to her original position, as if casually gossiping: "What will happen if we're discovered?"
Lu Shi: "Maybe he will die."
"Oh." Bai Ningning handed her the pen. "I've ordered everything I wanted to eat. Check to see if there's anything I missed."
Lu Shi: “?”
Bai Ningning: “?”
