Chapter 55 She's just like Jiang Caixia...

The newspaper reported that the good wife was being chased around and couldn't dodge, so she was hit several times.

The woman's brother glanced at Chu Ci, who had an arm in a sling, and came over with a broom.

Before he even got close, his vision blurred, and before he could react, she had already pinned him to the ground with one hand.

"Let me go! I'm calling the police!"

He lay face down on the ground, struggling desperately, shouting and questioning incessantly.

"Where did you take my sister?! Hand her over right now, or we're not done!"

Chu Ci looked down at his expression and sensed that he didn't want to lie anymore.

After a moment of silence, he spoke softly, "We came here to find your sister. As for where she is, we don't know."

After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment, "It's been more than two days since your sister met Wei Yong on a blind date. Haven't you gone to see her?"

The man, being held down, said irritably, "It's this day and age, it's perfectly normal for young men and women to go out and have fun on blind dates!"

It's a bit unusual that there's been no news for just two days.

He rolled his eyes at Chu Ci, who was holding him, "We thought she was just hanging out with Wei Yong, so we didn't pay any attention. But it's been two days and there's still no news. We were just about to go to Wei Yong's house to look for her after we finished eating."

Unexpectedly, it was Wei Yong's family who came first.

He said sarcastically, "That brat Wei Yong doesn't dare to come see us, so he sent you two women, one old and one young?"

“It’s not that he doesn’t want to come, it’s that he can’t come.” Chu Ci let go of him. “He’s possessed.”

"..."

The woman's brother was stunned. He got up from the ground, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Possessed by an evil spirit? What are the symptoms?"

Hong Kong has a strong culture of ghosts and gods, but it's still strange that he accepted it so quickly.

Chu Ci stared at him, not missing a single change in his expression.

"Do you know something?"

The woman's brother's expression changed, and he opened his mouth to say something, but was stopped by the woman's father.

"What do you know! We know nothing!"

His father grabbed his son, glared at him, and then turned to Chu Ci.

"Hand over my daughter right now, or we're not done!"

As he said this, he pulled his son and turned back.

The newspaper reporter's wife quickly chased after them, crying, "Hey! Don't go! What will happen to my son?!"

The family pulled the elderly man who was picking vegetables outside and the children who were playing inside, and then closed the door tightly.

No matter how much the newspaper's wife knocked on the door, he refused to come out to meet her again.

"Hey! Open the door! You know what's going on, right?"

"My son is in trouble now, you can't do this!"

However, all she received in response was the endless silence at the doorway.

Chu Ci pulled her along as she tried to climb over the wall.

"Go ask around the neighborhood. They have mouths; even if we can get in, there's nothing we can do if they won't tell us."

The newspaper reporter's wife climbed down from the wall, bowing her head and wiping away tears.

"What a heartless family! They're clearly hiding something from us, but they won't say a word!"

If she had known this family was like this, she would never have let her son go on a blind date with their daughter...

Chu Ci patted her shoulder and saw a nun in the distance. She went over to inquire, but it turned out that the nun was just a passerby who happened to be passing by.

After asking several people, they finally spotted a young woman playing with her daughter under a large tree.

When they asked about the family's daughter, the young woman sighed while holding her own daughter.

"You mean Xiaojuan? She's probably at the hospital over there visiting her boyfriend."

The woman gestured for them to turn their heads and look to the side.

In the distance stands a huge cross on the rooftop, which is very conspicuous.

Below the cross is the hospital's distinctive logo.

"Xiao Juan and her boyfriend were classmates, and they had a very good relationship. But her boyfriend was unlucky; he was in a car accident six months ago."

"It's been half a year, and she's still in a coma. Xiao Juan has to go to the hospital every day. Sigh...it's so pitiful."

The young woman shook her head regretfully.

The newspaper reported that the good wife was so shocked her eyes almost popped out.

What? She has a boyfriend?

Her reaction was so extreme that the young woman holding her daughter was puzzled.

"Yes, I just said that, they have a very good relationship."

The newspaper's reporter nearly fainted from anger. "She has a boyfriend, yet she went on a blind date with my son?!"

"..."

The young woman holding her daughter felt slightly embarrassed, then realized she had said the wrong thing.

She held her daughter and hesitated for a while before forcing a smile and trying to smooth things over.

"That young man was in a car accident, and he's been unconscious for half a year. He might die at any time."

"Xiao Juan is a loyal and kind girl, your son is definitely not at a disadvantage!"

Newspaper Good Wife: "..."

Her lips trembled with anger, and her chest heaved rapidly.

Even if she is loyal and righteous, she shouldn't extend that loyalty and righteousness to her son!

Seeing that she looked unwell, the woman holding her daughter realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly slipped away.

Chu Ci was quite angry after reading the newspaper. Fearing something might happen to her, he took the initiative to say:

"I'll go to the hospital myself, you rest here for a bit?"

"No need." Her eyes were red, and she refused through gritted teeth. "I'll go with you. I need to find her and get to the bottom of this!"

Their family treated her very politely, but what did this girl take them for!

What do you take her son for!

The hospital was not close to their location; in fact, it was quite far.

In order to get there as quickly as possible, the newspaper's wife chose the expensive taxi service without thinking twice.

Once inside the hospital, her intelligence kicked in, and she went straight to the hospital reception desk and asked:

"Miss, my nephew was in a car accident six months ago and has been in a coma. I'm his aunt. Which ward is he in?"

The nurse clearly had a strong impression of the person she was talking about; without even checking any information, she pointed behind her:

"The inpatient ward is behind, room 3017 on the third floor."

Having obtained the exact address, the newspaper's wife rushed over in a menacing manner.

Pushing open the door, there were only two unconscious patients inside; Xiao Juan was not there.

She didn't find Xiao Juan, but Chu Ci saw a familiar person here.

She walked to the bed at the far end of the ward and leaned closer to look at the young girl lying quietly on the bed.

The girl was no more than twenty years old, with delicate features and a typical baby face.

If she opened her eyes, she must be a very lively and beautiful woman.

She recognized her at a glance; this was the woman she had seen standing behind Wei Yong in the elevator when he first encountered the evil spirit.

No, it should be called a female ghost.

The newspaper's wife went out to look for Xiao Juan, but couldn't find her anywhere.

Seeing Chu Ci standing by the hospital bed, looking down at the unfamiliar female patient, he walked over and asked:

"Master, do you know him?"

Chu Ci nodded. "I've seen her with Wei Yong before."

"ah?"

The newspaper's good wife quickly came over to take a look and found that she was a very pretty girl.

She thought about it carefully, but couldn't remember when she had seen the child before.

"I don't know her... Master, when did you see her with A-Yong?"

"The day before yesterday was the day Zhang the scoundrel's mother came to make trouble."

The newspaper reporter was even more puzzled. "That day? I don't remember ever seeing her..."

"You can't see her; she came up in the elevator with you."

Newspaper Good Wife: "..."

Realizing what Chu Ci meant, she was taken aback.

I felt all the hairs on my back stand up, a chill ran from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, and my hair went numb.

"I...that..."

She swallowed hard, her eyes darting back to the hospital bed.

"Master, is it because of her that my Ah Yong..."

"no."

Chu Ci shook his head firmly.

“I’ve met her before. At that time, she was just following behind Wei Yong and didn’t mean to hurt him.”

Therefore, she is more inclined to believe that the culprit is Xiao Juan.

After searching all afternoon without finding Xiao Juan, Chu Ci patted his wife, Liang, on the shoulder.

"Aunt Hua, let's go to your house first. I'll help Wei Yong deal with this first, and then I'll look up some information tonight to see how to find Xiao Juan."

The newspaper reported that the good wife was exhausted and worried, but had no other choice.

"That's all we can do for now."

After calming Wei Yong down again, Chu Ci hurriedly went home and retrieved the "Shortcut Manual".

She happened to be reading the chapter on "finding people" yesterday, which explains how to deduce the exact location of a person by observing their facial features.

After finding this chapter, she read it twice, and then closed her eyes to recall the faces of Xiao Juan's father and brother.

Just as something flashed through her mind, the soul-summoning bell in the living room suddenly rang.

Chu Ci opened her eyes, thinking it was Jiang Caixia again.

She remembered Shen Zaikun saying that Qian Hui and Jiang Yuan had recanted their testimonies, and wanted to see Jiang Caixia's reaction.

But when they went outside, they found not only Jiang Caixia, but also the unconscious woman they had seen during the day.

No, she should be a female ghost now.

The female ghost had a cold, baby-faced expression. She held the sobbing Jiang Caixia in her hand, looking very malevolent.

But her fierceness wasn't due to the fierceness of a ghost, but rather because she had a bad temper.

They were aggressive, and their eyes seemed to be ready to fight anyone at any moment.

Chu Ci was stunned. Before he could say anything, Jiang Caixia burst into tears and spoke first:

"Aci, please save me quickly!"

"I don't even know her. She came up to me and started hitting me. I'm going to be beaten to death by her..."

She wasn't exaggerating.

Jiang Caixia was held in the female ghost's hand, and her entire spirit body became much fainter.

Faced with Jiang Caixia's accusations, the female ghost with the baby face scoffed coldly and decisively tossed her aside, as if she were throwing away a piece of trash.

Jiang Caixia tried to pry it open with her hands and feet, but the female ghost stepped on her ankle.

The female ghost teased her like a cat playing with a mouse until Jiang Caixia lay on the ground, sobbing resignedly. Only then did she let Jiang Caixia leave, her interest waning.

Chu Ci watched Jiang Caixia disappear into the darkness.

Although she disliked Jiang Caixia's submissive personality, she also disliked her being bullied by ghosts like this.

Just as she was thinking of finding a ghost messenger that night to take her to be reincarnated, she suddenly felt a probing gaze fall on her.

She looked up and saw the female ghost staring at her.

Seeing Chu Ci looking over, the female ghost smiled, revealing two dimples at the corners of her lips.

"She's your friend? You're a pretty famous master, how come you have some idiot as a friend?"

She pinched the end of her hair, curling her lip in disgust, "That idiot goes to her door every day crying, saying he ruined her brother..."

“I heard from people that it was clearly her brother who tricked her into selling herself, and even after he died, he helped the murderer cover it up with the police for money.”

"Even after all this, she still thinks it's all her fault. I don't know how her mother raised such a good daughter."

She sneered twice, her fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

"I really didn't hit her hard enough. I should have twisted that stupid head off!"

She talked to herself for a long time, but didn't hear Chu Ci's reply, and wasn't annoyed.

"Hello, my name is Zhuang Jingxuan."

Her eyes formed crescent moons, and her voice was clear and lively; she didn't sound like the ghost who had brutally beaten Jiang Caixia to death at all.

Chu Ci: "..."

She pursed her lips. "Chu Ci."

“I know, everyone says you are a master.”

Zhuang Jingxuan stretched her shoulders outside the door and sighed.

"Sigh, lying in bed all day, my limbs are going to atrophy."

She stretched and yawned to herself, then turned her head away.

"I thought you would have a lot of questions for me, why aren't you saying anything?"

Chu Ci stared at her intently, her voice calm.

“I thought you came home from the hospital with me because you had something to say to me.”

Zhuang Jingxuan: "..."

Her expression froze, and she pursed her lips.

"Alright, since you've put it that way, I'll get straight to the point."

She raised her chin, her eyes haughty.

"At eleven o'clock, the Xiao Juan you're looking for will appear at the hospital."

"Take Wei Yong's mother with you to arrest her. Oh, and call the police too!"

Why call the police?

"Of course we should arrest her and put her in jail! Otherwise, after she gets out, she'll keep hurting people for that scumbag!"

Zhuang Jingxuan was so angry that she jumped up and down: "Do you know that the man she likes is a complete scumbag!"

Do you know why I'm in the same hospital room as him, and we're both unconscious?

"It's not because we're both unconscious that we're sharing a hospital room, but because he's two-timing us!"

"He went on a date with me, and on his way back he got into a car accident, which is why we ended up in the same hospital room!"

"And this damned scumbag, that idiot Xu Juan still wants to prolong his life!"

She paced around the corridor, yelling, "Bitch! Idiot! Useless! Blind and stupid fool! Just as stupid as Jiang Caixia!"

Her curses echoed through the narrow corridor.

"Luckily you didn't let that unlucky bastard Wei Yong run into the wall and die back then, otherwise that scumbag would be alive and kicking right now!"

Chu Ci was relieved that no one could hear her, and was also surprised that the couple that others felt sorry for actually had such a truth.

So when she saw Zhuang Jingxuan crying at Wei Yong in the elevator, it wasn't because she had any relationship with Wei Yong, but purely because of her despair at the impending resurrection of scum?

She looked at Zhuang Jingxuan, who was spinning around in anger, and asked, "You just said that Xu Juan wants to prolong her boyfriend's life. How?"

"A life for a life!" Zhuang Jingxuan knew quite a bit. "That Xu Juan has a master she knows who loves evil and unorthodox methods. He even said he wanted to take Xu Juan as his disciple..."

Before she could finish speaking, she started cursing again.

"I knew it! Why did that scoundrel take Xu Juan in? They're birds of a feather! They're destined to be master and disciple!"

Upon hearing that the other party even had a master, Chu Ci hesitated.

She's just an ordinary person with fairly accurate fortune telling skills right now. If you asked her to have a one-on-one consultation with a professional, she'd probably just be a doormat.

She hesitated, and then the system, which hadn't appeared for a long time, suddenly popped up.

[Phase Two: Spiritual Medium's Incense Shop]

[Rescue Wei Yong and stop Xu Juan]

[Task Reward: Quick Guide to Comprehensive Psychic Skills]

Chu Ci stared at the rewards section, his breath catching in his throat.

The "Quick Guide to Fortune Telling" is already quite useful, but this "Quick Guide to Comprehensive Medium Literacy" is clearly more advanced.

But you can't risk your life for a reward.

She nodded. "I understand. I'll pack up and head over."

Zhuang Jingxuan was overjoyed and waved to her, "Master, you said it yourself, don't forget! You must stop that scum from coming back to life!"

Chu Ci nodded in agreement.

But she still needs to think about what specific preparations to make.

-

At 10:30 p.m., Chu Ci brought the newspaper and the Liang couple to the hospital.

As soon as the three arrived, they saw several uniformed police officers not far away.

The newspaper reporter paused, then cautiously tugged at Chu Ci's sleeve.

"Master, you called the police?"

Would it work to have the police catch ghosts?

Chu Ci understood his meaning and shook her head with a smile, "They're not here to help catch ghosts, they're here to catch Xu Juan."

The couple thought that suing Xu Juan had harmed their son, which made them even more uncertain.

"Master, is there any evidence for this?"

Even if there is evidence, would the police admit it?

Chu Ci shook his head, gesturing for them to look behind him.

The couple turned around and saw Xu Juan and her family walking towards them with mournful faces and heavy steps.

Xu Juan's mother even came over with tears in her eyes.
