She struggled to free her shoulders from the zombie's embrace, but Lou Qianzong's grip tightened, and he spoke in that sinister yet gentle voice, "Niannian, didn't we agree to go have breakfast together?!"

"Who told you that?" Chu Nian wanted to say, but she found that she had lost her voice.

Zhou Qianqian's infatuated eyes were still fixed on Lou Qianzong, watching helplessly as he put Chu Nian in his arms and pushed her into the car before driving away.

Lou Qianzong, a giant zombie who has been asleep for four hundred years and just emerged from underground—can anyone tell me how he can drive? Drive a car?

This world is truly chaotic!

Watching Lou Qianzong's skillful operation, Chu Nianfeng was completely bewildered.

What frustrated her even more was that, in the rearview mirror, she saw Zhou Qianqian running after the car for a few steps. Her little maidservant followed closely behind, asking, "Miss, what's wrong?"

Zhou Qianqian murmured absentmindedly, "That person was so handsome... I've never seen anyone so handsome before..."

The maidservant said, "Yes, he really is quite handsome. And the woman standing next to him is also very beautiful. Is she his girlfriend? These two are truly a match made in heaven!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that her young mistress had turned around and was staring at her with a look of heartache and desolation.

"Miss... what's wrong now?" the maid asked, bewildered. Had she said something wrong again?

Zhou Qianqian turned and walked towards the Zhou mansion. The maid asked curiously, "Miss, weren't you going to have breakfast with Miss Chen?"

Zhou Qianqian said listlessly, "I don't want to go."

After walking a few steps, she remembered the people lying on the ground, including a servant from the Chen mansion, the kind that Chen Baiying didn't particularly like.

However, when she turned to look at Jiang Yuxuan, she found that the Taoist priests had already stood up together, and Jiang Yuxuan was respectfully supporting an old Taoist priest with a white beard.

"Aren't you the maid who cooks at the Chen mansion? What are you doing here? What happened? I remember this used to be a luxury apartment building," Zhou Qianqian asked Jiang Yuxuan.

The Taoist priests were quite frustrated because the grand formation they had formed through their combined efforts was broken by Chu Nian with a single talisman. Jiang Yuxuan had no interest in explaining anything to this worldly girl and silently followed the Taoist priests away.

Zhou Qianqian scoffed dismissively. If it weren't for the Chen family's reputation, she wouldn't have bothered to care about such a maid.

.

In the car, Chu Nian was silent for a moment, then asked, "Where do you want to take me after you pulled me into the car?"

Before she could finish speaking, Lou Qianzong turned the car around, pulled over to the side of the road, stopped, and said coldly, "Get out of the car."

Chu Nian was speechless, then asked, "What do you mean?"

Lou Qianzong turned his gaze over, a wicked smile playing on his lips, and said, "Are you really that clueless, or are you just pretending?"

Chu Nian was furious. Her lips twitched for a long time before she said, "So you pulled me into the car for breakfast, just so you could get me to shield you from that woman Zhou Qianqian?"

Lou Qianzong chuckled in response.

Chu Nian: "You're being too presumptuous. Even if she was attracted to your good looks at first sight, it doesn't necessarily mean she'll do anything to you later. As far as I know, this girl has always liked Chen Baiteng..." She paused, then emphasized, "Your boss!"

Lou Qianzong chuckled again and said, "You really know a lot." After saying that, he turned his head to look at Chu Nian. Although his smile was still unrestrained, Chu Nian could clearly see a strong sense of sinister intent in his smile and eyes, which made Chu Nian feel extremely cold and even began to feel cold air coming out from the back of his spine.

Chu Nian felt as if she were being penetrated by the other party's sinister intent, as if Lou Qianzong had already seen through everything about her.

Sigh, I don't know if it's because I'm sitting too close to this guy that I feel so much pressure. Chu Nian feels like her angina has flared up again.

She opened the car door somewhat hastily and quickly got out.

The car had already restarted and sped away, leaving her with a trail of exhaust fumes.

Chu Nian covered her mouth and nose and took several steps back: This guy has a handsome appearance, but his temperament is fickle and so annoying!

She sighed helplessly, thinking that the apartment the manager had rented for her had been destroyed and was now just ruins. She felt she had to report this to the authorities, so she hailed a rickshaw and went to the New Jue Nightclub.

The nightclub wasn't open at this time, but as soon as Chu Nian entered, she could still hear laughter and chatter coming from inside. The voices sounded quite familiar to her; they seemed to be the same voices that had just dumped her on the street and made her inhale exhaust fumes.

The other one should be Chen Boteng.

Although the story has only just begun, given that it is a female-centric novel, Chen Boteng should have already developed feelings for the female lead. At this point, he is paying attention to the female lead and marveling at her ability to catch ghosts and kill corpses. How come he is so friendly with the female lead's nemesis?

The two, one human and one corpse, were talking about something, yet they seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation. Chu Nian strongly suspected that the male protagonist, Chen Boteng, had been forcibly turned gay by that evil zombie.

Honestly, with Lou Qianzong's stunningly beautiful appearance and his wicked aura, even Chu Nian, an old witch who has traveled through several worlds, was a little infatuated with him. No wonder ordinary people in this world were amazed when they saw him.

Although she didn't want to face Lou Qianzong, Chu Nian still went inside and told Chen Boteng directly that her apartment had been bombed by the Maoshan Taoists.

Chen Baiteng wasn't surprised at all; he guessed he'd heard about it from Lou Qianzong. He simply said there was no need to worry about compensation, and that he would have the manager find her a new, suitable place to live.

Chu Nian noticed that he was in a hurry to get rid of her, so she wisely left. However, she couldn't help but eavesdrop on the conversation between the two people inside. As a result, she discovered that Chen Boteng was actually asking about the cause of death of Lou Qianzong and Luo Nian.

The Taoist priests all believed that Luo Nian was strangled to death by Chang Fenglin, but Chang Fenglin insisted to the Chen family that Luo Nian had committed suicide by hanging herself. It is not surprising that Chen Boteng, as an ordinary person, could not distinguish which version was true.

Strangely, he went to ask a zombie.

Of course, as a powerful zombie, he's quite adept at analyzing causes of death. But why does Chen Baiteng trust Lou Qianzong so much? Hasn't he heard the saying, "Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts"?

Lou Qianzong didn't tell him the answer directly, but instead explained the different signs that a body would show after being strangled versus hanging itself.

Chen Boteng said somewhat helplessly, "But I... haven't seen any marks on Miss Nian Nian's neck."

Lou Qianzong: "She covered it up with a special concealer." He chuckled as he spoke, "This kind of concealer technique is something that ordinary people, oh, including corpses, can't do."
