"Didn't you say you wouldn't help?" Zero looked at Leng Yue from inside the space, speechless.

"Oh, I just wanted to demonstrate to you what it means to be slapped in the face." Leng Yue calmly looked at the book.

“Yueyue,” Zero said after a moment of silence.

"Huh?" Leng Yue replied.

"Why do I have this feeling that your skin is getting thicker and thicker?" Zero comments.

"Is that so?" Leng Yue calmly flipped through the book. "That's not your imagination, that's the truth!"

Leng Yue's quick admission surprised Ling. Ling looked around the space for a while, and after confirming that the person hadn't been switched, she asked, "Yueyue, when did you become... um, so... so unlike yourself?"

"It doesn't look like me, does it?" Leng Yue touched her face and picked up a small mirror to look at herself. "Although this face isn't mine, the eyes are mine, that's right!"

"Why did you agree to help him?" Zero felt that she wouldn't get any answers even if she continued to dwell on the previous question, so she simply changed the subject.

"Why did you agree?" Leng Yue put down her book, looked at Tang Liangfeng who was hiding in the corner, obediently acting like a wooden doll—no, a wooden ghost—and pondered for a while. "I guess I'm still bored!"

"Bored? How could that be? We haven't even done the mission yet!" Zero was puzzled. She had just arrived and hadn't solved anything, so how could she be bored?

"Ah, I just find this mission so boring." Leng Yue thought for a moment, "Do you really think Leng Kang will go abroad?"

Zero was stumped. "Why not?"

“Think about it, we’ve analyzed this before. Leng Kang has a wife and kids, a warm bed, and a decent life. Why would he be so foolish as to run off to that godforsaken place for so-called double wages? Unless he’s out of his mind!” Leng Yue concluded. “So, I think under normal circumstances, Leng Kang would never go abroad.”

While many people believe that the grass is always greener on the other side, this only applies to more advanced and developed countries. After all, such countries have more advanced technology, making them more attractive to talents like Leng Kang.

However, in the story, Leng Kang goes to a developing country in Southeast Asia. Anyone with common sense, let alone a programmer, would know that such places don't offer high salaries. Moreover, as a programmer, how could Leng Kang not realize that the more underdeveloped a place is, the less demand there is for such high-end technology?

How could any company in a place like this possibly offer him double the salary? It's obviously a scam!

"Could it be that he's blinded by greed?" Zero just searched online, and this was the explanation given, which he simply used directly.

"Maybe, but you've already published the news, and Leng Kang should have seen it by now. If he's still so stubborn, then I'll step in again." Leng Yue suddenly thought that, for multiple layers of protection, she could take a roundabout approach. "By the way, remember to make sure the entire Leng family sees this news. Make sure every single one of them sees it, understand?"

“That’s easy. I didn’t make up that news story. I actually found the post from a victim who was scammed before. I just edited it, posted it anonymously, and expanded its reach.” Zero One was quite proud of himself when he said this; it was something he excelled at.

Leng Yue hadn't expected this and praised her, "You've thought of everything. Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you."

Zero ran off as soon as he heard that, happily going to work.

"Miss Leng Yue, when can you burn paper money for me?" Tang Liangfeng waited in the corner for a long time but Leng Yue didn't say anything, so he could only shamelessly step forward again.

Leng Yue glanced at him. "Why didn't you think of 'asking' me for help when you were scaring me before? Now you know?"

Leng Yue was deliberately giving Tang Liangfeng the cold shoulder; after all, he clearly needed her help but still had such a nasty attitude. She was alright, because she had used an exorcism talisman and wasn't frightened. But what about the original owner? Wasn't his behavior just bullying her?

"Miss Leng, I was wrong. I was blind to your greatness before. I'm sorry! Please forgive me." Tang Liangfeng said, bowing deeply to Leng Yue.

Leng Yue remained seated, accepting Tang Liangfeng's apology without moving, but offered no words of forgiveness. She wasn't the one who had been bullied; what was there for her to forgive? She accepted Tang Liangfeng's bow purely because she wanted to help him.

"It's just about burning paper money, why didn't you say so earlier? Why make such a big fuss?" Leng Yue thought that if Tang Liangfeng hadn't acted recklessly, the original owner might not have refused.

Tang Liangfeng scratched his head sheepishly, "I was worried that you wouldn't agree, Miss Leng, so I thought I'd make a fuss like this, and you'd definitely find a way to handle it. Isn't that how it's done in folk customs? Whenever there's something supernatural or strange in the family, people burn some paper money for the dead."

"Heh, and what happened? In the end, you scared him so much that he ended up in a mental hospital again." Leng Yue was speechless. "What era are we living in now? How many people still do things the way they used to? Besides, if my family were more traditional and conservative, it would be fine, but as you can see, nobody believes what I say. If things get too out of hand, he'll just end up in a mental hospital."

The Leng family are all highly educated people who believe in science. How could you possibly expect them to believe in such superstition? It can only be said that Tang Liangfeng not only used the wrong method, but also chose the wrong family!

"I didn't know that before! Besides, spirits like us need to find people with compatible magnetic fields, and you're the person whose magnetic field is most compatible with me." Tang Liangfeng is a new ghost, and his actions are mostly based on instinct. After seeing Leng Yue, he was attracted by the aura emanating from her and followed her home. It can only be described as a coincidence!

"There's such a saying?" This was Leng Yue's first time communicating with a spirit, and also the first time she had heard of such a theory.

"How much paper money do we need to burn?" Leng Yue felt it was best to send this spirit away as soon as possible; it didn't seem right for it to stay by her side all the time.

"The more the better," Tang Liangfeng said without any politeness.

"You're quite greedy. I never knew a ghost could be so money-grubbing!" Leng Yue couldn't help but complain. "Were you also a money-grubbing person when you were alive?"

Tang Liangfeng shook his head. "I'm not sure, but it shouldn't be, right?"

"By the way, what exactly do you need the paper money for?" Leng Yue asked again. When Tang Liangfeng asked for paper money before, Leng Yue didn't want to help, so she didn't ask. Later, he coaxed her into agreeing, and then Ling mocked her. So she forgot about it, but now she finally remembered to ask again.

"I want to be reincarnated to bribe the underworld officials," Tang Liangfeng said without hiding anything. "I just died, so I won't be able to be reincarnated without spending money. Besides, I also want to be born into a good family in my next life."

Hearing this, Leng Yue was speechless. He'd only just died and he was already thinking about the afterlife; how prescient!

She was now quite curious about what kind of person Tang Liangfeng was when he was alive!
