All my words can be summed up in one sentence: "Baby."
The female ghost suddenly heard Xiao Zhang's voice, and her trembling body froze instantly. I could see the female ghost's face filled with mixed emotions, but she still didn't dare to turn around and look at Xiao Zhang.
"Baby!" With that, Xiao Zhang's fear seemed to vanish completely. He took a few steps forward and stood in front of the female ghost.
The female ghost quickly lowered her head, not wanting Xiao Zhang to see her face.
"Baby." Tears welled up in Xiao Zhang's eyes. She reached out to touch Xiao Zhang's face, but her hand passed right through the female ghost's body.
"How could this be?" Xiao Zhang looked at his hands and tried several more times, but he still couldn't touch the female ghost.
Xiao Zhang collapsed to the ground in despair, desperately trying to hold back his tears.
"I..." The female ghost finally raised her head and looked at Xiao Zhang, her eyes filled with tears.
The female ghost must have resentment towards Xiao Zhang, but she still loves him. Otherwise, with her abilities, Xiao Zhang would have died long ago and would never be alive to see me.
The female ghost probably can't be reincarnated. Looking at the yin energy on her body, I know she has already killed someone.
"Baby, what happened to you? Where have you been this past year? Who is responsible for your suffering?"
"I..." The female ghost bit her lip, unsure of what to say.
"Baby, say something! Are you trying to drive me crazy?!" Xiao Zhang tried to reach out and grab the female ghost's arm, but he couldn't touch it no matter what he did.
In his anxiety, Xiao Zhang started pounding the floor.
"Xiao Zhang, go back to your room first, I'll ask her for you." I could tell from the situation that the female ghost would never tell Xiao Zhang anything.
After I finished speaking, I nudged You and told her to take Xiao Zhang back to the bedroom first, since some things are easier for girls to say to each other.
Reluctantly, I led You into the bedroom. After closing the door for them, I turned around and looked at the pitiful female ghost kneeling on the ground.
The female ghost looked at me warily again, not daring to resist.
"You've killed someone?" I asked calmly, squatting down next to the female ghost.
The female ghost was taken aback, surprised that I knew.
"If your child can be reincarnated after being handed over to the underworld, then it's hard to say."
The female ghost's face indeed showed a tense expression as she tightly hugged her child.
"If you want leniency, you'd better tell me everything, so I can put in a good word for you with the underworld." After saying that, I waited patiently for the female ghost to speak.
The female ghost lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment before speaking, "My name is Lin Xiaoyun, and I'm Zhang Peng's girlfriend. A year ago..." The female ghost gritted her teeth and continued, "A year ago, I received a call from my hometown saying that my grandmother needed surgery and that it would cost 200,000 yuan. But where was I, a poor college graduate, supposed to get 200,000 yuan?"
Two hundred thousand? I glanced at the tightly closed door. Something's not right. Xiao Zhang is very rich. Surely he can come up with two hundred thousand.
Didn't you ask Xiao Zhang for it?
A hint of resentment flashed across Lin Xiaoyun's face as she looked up and said, "I had no idea Zhang Peng was rich at the time. I thought he was a poor college student like me."
This is... this is awkward. I can understand Xiao Zhang's actions; he's also worried that the girl is only after his money.
Lin Xiaoyun then began to slowly recount, "At that time, I was extremely anxious. Coincidentally, a relatively wealthy man named Li Qiang kept harassing me, repeatedly asking me to give him money to do things with him. I had refused before, but I was really short of money. I wanted to save my grandmother, so I..."
"You slept with Li Qiang?" Xiao Zhang suddenly burst out of the door, his face grim, and pointed at the child in Lin Xiaoyun's arms, saying, "Is this child also Li Qiang's?"
Looking at Xiao Zhang's angry expression, I realized that the shock of being cheated on had dispelled his fear. Yesterday, he was so scared by the little ghost that he couldn't get up, but today he dared to question it loudly.
Lin Xiaoyun was also surprised that Xiao Zhang would suddenly rush out. Her expression froze for a moment, then she said fiercely, "Yes, that's right." After saying that, she turned her head away and ignored Xiao Zhang.
Xiao Zhang angrily pointed at Lin Xiaoyun, wanting to say something, but I stopped him with a look.
"After I agreed to Li Qiang's request, he did give me the money, which I sent back. I originally intended to cut ties with Li Qiang completely, but I didn't expect to be threatened by him instead. He said he filmed my sex tape and if I didn't listen to him, he would send the video to my boyfriend." Lin Xiaoyun's calm emotions fluctuated again as she said this, while Xiao Zhang, standing to the side, gritted his teeth in anger.
“During that time, I was constantly being forced by Li Qiang. A year ago, I couldn’t take it anymore, so I had an argument with Li Qiang, and he raped and murdered me. He then dismembered my body and disposed of it. To this day, I don’t know where my body is, and the police have never solved the case.” Lin Xiaoyun sighed and stopped talking after saying this.
"So you killed Li Qiang?"
"Mm." Lin Xiaoyun nodded gently.
"Did you kill Li Qiang?" Xiao Zhang muttered to himself. "No wonder his death was so suspicious."
"Do you know Li Qiang?" Judging from Xiao Zhang's expression, he obviously did.
Xiao Zhang's face turned pale, his fists clenched, and he looked at Lin Xiaoyun with heartache. "I know him, it's all my fault." Xiao Zhang closed his eyes, but when he opened them again, his eyes were still filled with undisguised resentment. "Damn Li Qiang! If I had known he was this kind of person, I shouldn't have gone to him in the first place! I!" As he spoke, Xiao Zhang slapped himself across the face.
"Xiaoyun, it's all my fault." Xiao Zhang knelt in front of Lin Xiaoyun and confessed.
Lin Xiaoyun looked at Xiao Zhang, her eyes filled with resentment, but even more so with reluctance.
Xiao Zhang slapped his own face repeatedly, repenting.
Lin Xiaoyun couldn't bear it any longer and said softly, "It's also your fault. You... you were also deceived by Li Qiang."
Xiao Zhang finally couldn't hold back and started wailing.
"What... what exactly happened?" I looked at Xiao Zhang, who was crying loudly, and my mind was a little confused.
Xiao Zhang held back her tears and said haltingly, "Xiaoyun and I have been together for a while now, and I was thinking about whether to tell Xiaoyun about my situation. Li Qiang is a friend of mine, and he said that many girls from other places are gold diggers who are only after money. He asked me to test the waters for him, and if it wasn't true, he would tell Xiaoyun about my situation."
When Xiao Zhang said that, I immediately understood.
“I didn’t want to agree at first, but I couldn’t resist Li Qiang’s persuasion. I also wanted to test Xiaoyun myself.” At this point, Li Qiang looked at Xiaoyun with guilt. “After I gave Li Qiang Xiaoyun’s contact information, he helped me test her. He said it would take some time.”
"Later, I couldn't wait any longer, so I went to ask Li Qiang. Li Qiang said that Xiao Yun was fine. I was so happy that I didn't know what to do. I was thinking about how to tell Xiao Yun about my family situation when Xiao Yun disappeared."
That Li Qiang is really despicable!
