Chapter 1091 The Returnee's Notes 165
Upon seeing a compressed file sent by an unknown account, Xiao Xiao tucked her mother in, then went outside to unzip and read it. When she discovered that it contained some evidence she desperately needed, her breath caught in her throat for a moment.
However, Xiao Xiao did not let her guard down, after all, she had received too many threatening text messages in this short period of time.
Who knows if this person is setting up bait to trick people into revealing information?
Xie Ning didn't expect a reply from Xiao Xiao. She would only be worried if Xiao Xiao truly trusted her because of this.
Because she could sense that things behind the scenes were not simple, and if Xiao Xiao was really naive, Xie Ning would have to consider whether to advise her to get out of this mess in time.
She did not want Xiao Xiao to pay for this with her life.
Xie Ning breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the other party's reply of "thank you" and then receiving no further messages. This meant that Xiao Xiao had not easily trusted the kindness of a stranger.
That's why she brought up the matter of Xiao's father, the ghost beside her.
Hopefully, Xiao Xiao can come and take her father home after this matter is resolved.
The fact that the ghost's soul was incomplete is likely because it lost some body tissue before it died, and this discovery may be useful to Xiao Xiao.
The sudden shift to the topic of ghosts and spirits made Xiao Xiao even more wary, but she couldn't help but feel a little shaken. What if it was true?
How could she let her father wander far from home?
Moreover, Xie Ning arranged to meet after everything was settled, which somewhat alleviated Xiao Xiao's suspicions.
The thought of seeing her father again brought tears to Xiao Xiao's eyes.
She's not actually a very strong person, but right now she's the only one who can handle things. Her mother has collapsed and is still bedridden.
My younger brother is in his final year of high school, so I can't let these things affect him. My younger sister is still young, just starting junior high.
With her parents away, she and her brother supported each other for a while. Her savings were almost gone, and the money she sent home to her younger siblings was borrowed from her roommate.
Although her roommates occasionally had conflicts, they were always willing to help her when she encountered problems, especially one of the girls from a relatively wealthy family, who was the one she bickered with the most.
Now, he lends her money without hesitation.
She remembers all of this. Even if she can't repay it in any way, every little bit is a kindness that she can't forget.
"Ding-dong—"
Xiao Xiao looked closely and saw that it was a message from Xie Ning and... a transfer. The amount was enough to make her feel at ease for a while and not have to worry about money anymore.
But she didn't dare accept it. After all, in her impression, Xie Ning wasn't wealthy. Even though Xia Ziyun said that Xie Ning had a rich relative, it didn't mean that Xie Ning himself was rich.
This money... is probably Xie Ning's scholarship money.
In the end, it was only after Xie Ning's strong persuasion that Xiao Xiao accepted a portion of the money, promising to return it as soon as she finished her business.
The chair beneath her was cold. Xiao Xiao lay down fully clothed, forcing herself to rest.
Night fell slowly like a giant black curtain, enveloping the entire city.
As the night deepened, the once bright lights began to go out one by one, as if swallowed by the heavy darkness.
At this moment, only a few scattered lights remain in the hospital, but their light seems so weak and powerless.
An eerie silence permeated the corridor, with only the occasional faint hum of medical equipment.
In this dimly lit environment, only the green safety indicator arrows on the wall still flashed conspicuously. Under the dim green light, instead of bringing any warmth or peace of mind, they made the already cold corridor feel even colder.
The arrows resembled indifferent eyes, silently observing everything, sending chills down one's spine.
Ouyang Lin only lit one incense stick in the toilet to attract the old ghost. As Xie Ning said, the old ghost's strength was not high, but his reaction speed was still very fast.
Even though he was tempted by the incense offerings, he only realized what was happening at the last minute before entering the formation. But by then it was too late, because Ouyang Lin had set up two formations: one inside and one outside. Even if he didn't enter the inner formation, he couldn't escape.
To Ouyang Lin's surprise, this old ghost's illusion technique was indeed powerful, but coincidentally, it was her weakness.
With a kick, Ouyang Lin sent the old ghost into the small formation, and then she put the red rope around the ghost's neck.
