Holding the address she had painstakingly obtained from her relatives, Yue Jiu arrived at the foot of a tall office building, intending to find her adoptive father.
She had found out everything. It turned out that the original owner of this body's father was a rich man, and the original owner's mother met him while working at a casino. After they had sex, the original owner was born. However, the original owner's father already had a family, so the original owner's mother and this illegitimate daughter could only be given a sum of money and could not enter the family.
Yue Jiu Nian only learned about this news after returning to the original owner's maternal grandmother's house. However, the people in her grandmother's house were not good to the original owner and her mother. They were unwilling to help pay off gambling debts and just gave Yue Jiu Nian an address, leaving her to fend for herself.
Yue Jiu looked at the large characters on the tall building and went inside after confirming that she hadn't gone to the wrong place.
"Hello, I'm looking for the general manager here, Jiang Hu. Could you tell me which floor he's on?"
Yue Jiunian politely asked the pretty young lady at the front desk.
The pretty young lady just smiled and asked, "Do you have an appointment?"
An appointment? Yue Jiu thought to herself, "No wonder he's a big boss. You have to make an appointment to see him. But how could I possibly have an appointment? Does that mean I can't see anyone without one?"
"Um, haha, I didn't make an appointment, but I have something very important to discuss with Jiang Hu. Could you please take me to him, sister?"
The receptionist was very polite. She apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I can't take you upstairs since you don't have an appointment."
Yue Jiu was speechless. This kid was too dedicated. If he couldn't go up, how was he supposed to find someone? Or was he supposed to just wait here until his cheap dad got off work?
"Can I go up and find him myself?"
"I'm sorry, you can't go up without an appointment."
Finally, Yue Jiu Nian checked the time. It was lunchtime, and she was hungry. She thought she should go eat first and then come back to figure out what to do. So, Yue Jiu Nian said to the receptionist, "Sister, I'm going to eat first. I'll be back later."
The receptionist just smiled and said, "Take care."
Yue Jiu Nian took the money given to her by Yue Jiu Ling and traveled to B City. B City and J City are neighboring cities and are very close to each other. It only takes about two hours to get there by car. However, although the distance is not far, it costs a lot of money.
Because Yue Jiuling only gave Yue Jiunian a few hundred yuan, after deducting the transportation costs, if Yue Jiunian couldn't find the person within a day, then Yue Jiunian probably wouldn't be able to afford the cost of food and hotel accommodations.
"Oh, I'm so pitiful. I've lived for so long, and this is the first time I've been so poor. If it were before, I could rob or steal if I didn't have money, but in today's society governed by law, you can't do that."
Yue Jiu Nian sat in a small restaurant, eating fried rice while muttering to herself. She had originally thought that if things didn't work out, she would go to work to earn money, but the thought of her ID card still indicating that she was a minor gave her a headache.
The original owner was only seventeen years old and a high school student, and was about to face the college entrance examination. She had already called the school to say that she was sick and had to drop out. Although she didn't have to go to school anymore, she was also very distressed because she didn't have money.
After finishing lunch, Yue Jiu Nian planned to go back to the office building to wait for someone. She thought it would be best to resolve the matter today, otherwise it would be troublesome.
In fact, she had already made up her mind. If her cheap father, Jiang Hu, refused to acknowledge her or pay her, then he wouldn't be so hard to blame her for taking ruthless coercive action. She might rob him or kill those debt collectors. Although the human world is a society governed by law, that law still governs humans. She, a demon, would never abide by the rules!
Although doing bad things is wrong, who can do anything about it?
Having made up her mind, Yue Jiu Nian walked out of the restaurant. But as she walked, in a deserted alley, a disheveled woman suddenly rushed out from around the corner.
The woman's face was filled with terror. As she ran, she kept looking back in horror, as if she were looking at some kind of monstrous flood. She didn't notice the person in front of her for a moment, and then she bumped into Yue Jiu Nian with a 'bang!'
"Ouch~"
"ah!"
Yue Jiu Nian was so dizzy from the impact that she almost threw up the food she had just eaten. She was about to curse the clumsy guy who bumped into her when she was almost scared to death by what was in front of her!
"Holy crap! What the hell are you doing?!"
Just half a meter away from her, there was a fierce ghost dressed in bright red!
The vengeful ghost was terrifying; her face was covered in bloodstains, blood was constantly flowing from her missing eye sockets, and her mouth was rotten, revealing yellowed teeth and wriggling maggots inside!
Although Yue Jiunian wasn't human, she was almost scared to death when she suddenly saw this ghostly thing.
She frowned as she got up from the ground, took a few steps back, dusted herself off, and said to the red-clad female ghost with disgust:
"I'm telling you, that's enough! If you know you're ugly, don't come out and scare people. It's not your fault you're ugly, but it is your fault you come out and scare people. Look, you've scared me! Hurry up and pay me back!"
The woman in red had been standing still, staring at Yue Jiu Nian with her bloodshot eyes. But when she heard Yue Jiu Nian call her ugly, she became clearly angry. She tried to pounce on Yue Jiu Nian, but before she could get close, Yue Jiu Nian kicked her away!
The woman who bumped into Yue Jiu Nian fell down and was so terrified that she lay on the ground unable to get up until she saw Yue Jiu Nian kick the female ghost away, which surprised her and made her get up.
The woman was clearly terrified by the female ghost. Trembling, she walked to Yue Jiu Nian's side and said, "That...that ghost, did you kill her?"
Yue Jiu Nian looked at the female ghost who had been kicked to the corner of the wall and shook her head, saying, "She should be alive, right? But this ghost dares to come out in broad daylight, she must be quite a formidable character."
There is a difference between monsters and ghosts. Monsters achieve their power through long-term cultivation with the help of opportunities and the favor of the heavens. Ghosts, on the other hand, are people who gradually acquire ghost power after death. Their cultivation relies heavily on killing. Therefore, monsters always have a harder time cultivating than ghosts, but they are also more powerful. Ordinary ghosts are usually weaker than monsters.
Of course, there are also some exceptionally powerful individuals, such as the King of Hell or the Ghost King.
The red-clad female ghost that Yue Jiu Nian encountered today, who could come out in broad daylight, is considered a rather powerful and vengeful ghost. Ordinary ghosts dare not come out during the day because the sun's yang energy can cause significant harm to their ghostly forms.
