Chapter 48 Something Has Emerged

She has to see it with her own eyes?

Yun Shu squatted on the ground, tugged at her hair, and felt like dying. "I'll give you your money back. Come to my shop and see for yourselves!"

The platform takes half of the money we tipped you. If you want to return it to us, you'll have to pay it back in full, otherwise you'll lose half!

[Yun Shu, I've done a quick calculation for you; you'll only lose a few hundred thousand.]

"..."

In her previous life, Yun Shu was the Grand Preceptor of the State, born into a prestigious family, and would never do anything so outrageous.

But in this life, she was no longer some grand master; she was just an ordinary person troubled by money.

After hesitating for a while, Yun Shu finally said, "I need to ask him if he agrees. If he doesn't agree, then forget it. I'll just return the money to you."

There are no problems, go ask them.

I bet a bag of spicy strips that Lu Shijing would definitely agree.

[Haha, you guys are teasing Yun Shu on purpose, aren't you! But when President Lu first appeared on camera, the way he looked at Yun Shu, I knew they had something going on!]

Yun Shu got up and went inside, put her phone away, and stared at Lu Shijing for a long time.

Lu Shijing found her behavior strange and stared at her, but neither of them spoke.

Yun Shu thought about it and felt that it wasn't good for Mu Qing to see such a private matter, so she pulled Mu Qing outside and locked her in the door.

Mu Qing: ?

Yun Shu comforted him, "Wait here for three minutes, and I'll let you in right away."

Before Mu Qing could react, Yun Shu locked the glass door.

"Huh? No, Yunshu, what are you trying to do to A-Jing! Why are you locking me out here? It's so late at night, it's dangerous for a handsome young man like me to be out here. What if the ghost bride carries me away!"

Yun Shu's calm voice came through, "You will not be in danger. Lu Shijing is here, and the Ghost Bride will only target him."

"..."

That would be best!

Mu Qing peeked through the glass door and saw Yun Shu walk up to Lu Shijing.

Lu Shijing was sitting with his back to the door when he suddenly stood up. Yun Shu stood opposite him, her fair face slightly flushed.

Yun Shu coughed awkwardly, "Lift up your clothes, I... I'll just check if there's anything else wrong with your body."

Lu Shijing looked down at her, his long, narrow, and cold eyes scrutinizing her. "What could possibly be wrong with my body?"

Yun Shu forced herself to say, "There are ghosts in this house. Ghostly energy can invade your body. If there is residual ghostly energy in your body and it is not cleared away, it will affect your health."

Lu Shijing was dressed casually today, wearing a dark black hoodie. He nodded upon hearing this, then took off his shirt. "See?"

Yun Shu: "..."

Mu Qing: !!!

Yun Shu's face flushed red. She quickly glanced at his abdomen, then immediately lowered her head. "Okay...okay, you can put it on now!"

He suddenly took a step forward, very close to her. "Weren't you supposed to be clearing away the ghostly energy?"

Yun Shu quickly covered her eyes with her hands. "The ghosts here have been suppressed. There's no ghostly aura on you for now. I can tell just by looking at you. There's no need to do anything else!"

Lu Shijing saw her red ears, said nothing, turned around and went to get his clothes to put back on.

After Lu Shijing finished dressing, Yun Shu pretended that nothing had happened, took her phone and went to the corner of the room, pretending to tidy up her things.

The live stream chat was filled with comments.

Does he really have eight-pack abs?!

[Just now Yun Shu seemed to be saying something about putting on clothes, so Lu Shijing took off his clothes?]

[Yun Shu, look at you, so pathetic! He took off his clothes and let you take a look, and you actually looked? Why don't you just touch him!]

Seeing the offensive comments, Yun Shu was speechless for a while before saying in a very soft voice, "He has eight-pack abs, I saw it with my own eyes, please stop talking about it."

[Yay! I won the bet!]

[Holy crap, CEO Lu looks sickly, but he's got a great physique!]

"Aaaaaah! A ghost!"

Suddenly, Mu Qing's scream came from outside the door. Yun Shu and Lu Shijing turned their heads at the same time and saw a figure reflected in the glass door next to Mu Qing.

Wrapped in yellow cloth and wearing a red veil on her head.

It was the ghost bride.

Mu Qing was peeking through the glass door, trying to see what the young couple was up to behind her back, when suddenly she saw a shadow next to her.

"The Ghost Bride!"

Mu Qing jumped up in fright and ran away, forgetting to call Yun Shu to open the door for him. Moreover, the ghost bride's shadow was right on the glass door, and he didn't dare to go near it at all.

As Mu Qing turned and ran, the ghost bride's shadow on the glass door moved to the ground and kept chasing after Mu Qing's shadow, scaring him so much that he ran and howled.

"Ahhh... Stop chasing me! I won't give in to you, I want to live a few more years!"

"Mu Qing!"

Lu Shijing immediately opened the door and chased after him.

He was very fast and soon caught up with Mu Qing, but the ghost bride's shadow on the ground continued to chase Mu Qing, ignoring him completely.

Suddenly, Lu Shijing noticed a flash of eerie blue light above the ghost bride's shadow.

"Mu Qing, stop running! The one chasing you isn't a ghost!"

Yun Shu also came out of the house.

She was still holding her phone when she shone it on the second floor across the street and captured a peculiar light source.

Mu Qing was on the verge of a breakdown, running and yelling, "What do you mean she's not a ghost? She can turn into a shadow and keep chasing me, how can she not be a ghost! You two were having your love affair inside while locking me out, and now I'm being targeted by a ghost! I'm asking you, don't you two have any conscience?!"

Yun Shu: "..."

Lu Shijing: "..."

Yun Shu wanted to explain, but Mu Qing kept running further and further away, so she had no choice but to chase after her.

When Lu Shijing saw Yun Shu chasing after Mu Qing, he turned around and went in another direction. That intersection led to the second floor of the building across the street.

"Mu Qing, that's not a ghost! Lu Shijing is right next to you. With his ability to attract ghosts, the ghost bride would be unable to resist rushing towards him. How could he possibly be chasing you! Wake up!"

Yun Shu finally caught up with Mu Qing, grabbed him tightly, and stopped him from running around again.

Mu Qing had no choice but to close her eyes tightly, point at the ground and say, "Then tell me, what is this thing if not a ghost! It can still chase me!"

Yun Shu's eyes darkened slightly. "It's a projection. Someone deliberately put a projection of the ghost bride here to scare away people who come here to investigate."

Not long after Yun Shu finished speaking, the shadow of the ghost bride on the ground disappeared. She looked up and vaguely saw a figure flash by in a room on the second floor opposite.

The person clearly wanted to leave, but a tall figure appeared behind the curtain and punched the person to the ground.

Yun Shu said to Mu Qing, "Let's go back to the shop first. Lu Shijing has caught that person."

"real?"

Mu Qing opened his eyes in fear, and when he no longer saw the ghostly figure on the ground, his mood calmed down a little.

They went back to the store first.

Not long after, Lu Shijing came over with a young man, who was holding a small projector.

Mu Qing was furious when she saw this person. "So, it was you who was pretending to be a ghost to scare people! You were the murderer who killed five women here two years ago, weren't you!"

The man glanced at Lu Shijing fearfully, clearly terrified of being beaten, and quickly said, "It wasn't me, it wasn't me, I didn't kill anyone, I was just doing a job for money!"

"He definitely didn't kill him."

Yun Shu's voice came through; she could tell just by looking at his face, "The person who asked you to do this is the real murderer. Who exactly is he?"
