I'm Investigating妖怪Cases in the Human Realm

As a fake half-demon, Yue Jiuling feels that living in the human realm is actually pretty good. However, this is only true if she can retrieve her original body and separated soul. There's no c...

Chapter 437 Self-Reliance

Yue Jiuzai said, "We won't go out. Jiu Nian, you keep an eye on them."

"Okay, I understand. If you need anything, just let us know. I'll head out now, bye-bye."

Bye-bye~

Yue Jiuxing and Yue Jiuyue quickly got ready and changed into their outdoor clothes. For convenience, they still conjured up physical forms and changed their appearances.

Inside a coffee shop, a fat man with bandages wrapped around his head was waiting for someone. Before long, the person he was waiting for arrived.

Yue Jiu Nian led Yue Jiu Xing and Yue Jiu Yue into the coffee shop, and as soon as they entered, they saw the particularly noticeable fat man.

"Hey, what happened to your head? It was fine yesterday!"

As soon as Yue Jiuxing saw the fat man's head, he pointed at it and said, "You unlucky bastard, you're really unlucky."

Even now, the fat man is still seen as dark and gloomy in their eyes, so Yue Jiuxing calls him "Unlucky Guy".

Upon hearing Yue Jiuxing's words, the fat man smiled bitterly and said, "Sigh, I really am unlucky. Yesterday, I finally managed to borrow money from you guys to take a taxi home, but when I got back, I found that my wife had left me a note saying that she wanted to break up with me and had taken all the money I had saved over the years. When I was going down the stairs, I was hit on the head by a flowerpot that fell from upstairs. I'm so unlucky."

"Is your money gone forever?"

Upon hearing Fatty say that the money had been taken away, Yue Jiuyue became very nervous, because she was afraid that Fatty would not have enough money to pay them.

The fat man said, "This is my second marriage. Actually, we haven't registered our marriage yet. My ex-wife is living in another city with her child. I only got together with her last year. I made some money doing business over the past few years, but business is bad this year and I have nothing to do."

My wife complained that I didn't have much money and we argued all the time. I never imagined she'd run off with a former business partner and all that money! If someone I know hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known they'd been seeing each other behind my back for so long!

The fat man was still quite angry when he talked about this. He said he had over 100,000 yuan, which he planned to use to open a shop, but he never expected that his wife would take it all and even cheat on him.

He came to find Yue Jiu Nian and the others because they had actually guessed that he would be cheated on yesterday, so he wanted to ask them for help to get rid of his bad luck.

"Actually, I'm asking you for help because I want to get rid of bad luck. A friend of mine said that I've been plagued by bad luck lately, and the best thing to do is to find a master to perform a ritual. That's why I thought of you. I don't know if you'd be willing to help me. I'll pay you back once I get my money back."

The fat man said sincerely, "I've already reported it to the police, and they said they'll help me get my money back."

"Hmm, actually, it's not that we can't get rid of bad luck, but wouldn't it take a long time for the police to help you get your money back? Why don't we help you instead?"

Yue Jiuxing thought for a moment, then suddenly chuckled and said, "Hehe~ Your wife is so wicked, we can't stand her either. Let us help you get your money back."

Yue Jiuyue grinned slyly and said, "That's right, hehe, this way we can get the money back quickly and without bothering the police!"

Yue Jiu Nian listened to Yue Jiu Yue and Yue Jiu Xing's conversation without saying a word. She was only there to help them make money and keep an eye on them to prevent them from causing trouble. She generally wouldn't get involved in anything else.

"Do you have any other way to get her to send the money back? That would be wonderful! Do you have any ideas?"

The fat man was very happy when he heard what they said.

Yue Jiuxing glanced at Yue Jiunian, then asked, "Can I use unconventional methods? Don't worry, it won't cause any trouble."

Yue Jiuyue also applied, saying, "Jiunian, just let us have some fun~"

"Alright, you guys be careful, don't go too far."

Yue Jiu Nian had already guessed what they were planning to do, so she reluctantly agreed.

"Yay! Jiu Nian is the best!"

"Hehe, Jiu Nian, don't worry, I'll definitely share the money with you once I make it!"

"Hehe, then I'll wait and see. If there's no share for me, then I'll show you what I'm made of."

Yue Jiu raised an eyebrow at the two troublemakers, letting them whisper and discuss their plans.
