Gu Jinghuai's actions left Gao Jianyun speechless and enraged Sun Hao.
"mom!"
Sun Hao walked over, pulled his mother aside, and prepared to take her to take a cold shower.
The little girl stood up and took Sun Hao's hand: "She's not your mother."
"Tuantuan, what are you saying? How could this not be my mom!"
Sun Hao broke free from Tuan Tuan's grasp, still desperately trying to help his mother.
Tuan Tuan stuck the talisman in his hand to his mother's body. At that moment, Sun Hao's mother let out a scream, and her face began to fester.
Gu Jinghuai: "Uncle Gao, close the door."
Gao Jianyun quickly pulled the roller shutter closed to avoid startling passersby.
Fortunately, it wasn't mealtime, and the place was relatively secluded, so no one saw us.
Sun Hao watched as his mother's skin began to peel off, piece by piece, until it fell to the ground, revealing a face covered in pustules, a sight that was nauseating.
Tuantuan explained, "Little brother, she's not your mother, she's a ghost."
Sun Hao still couldn't believe what he was seeing. How could his mother have turned into a ghost?
Gu Jinghuai threw all the wontons on the table onto the ground. As the bowls and spoons shattered, the wontons fell to the ground, and several threadworms crawled out of them.
Gao Jianyun: !!
"Sun Hao, what are you doing! You're not trying to treat us to wontons, you're clearly trying to kill us!"
Sun Hao stood there dumbfounded, looking at his mother beside him and then at the nematodes on the ground.
At this moment, there was nothing he didn't understand: his mother was possessed by a ghost, or had been killed by a ghost.
The thing standing next to him wasn't a person, but a ghost.
Just as the ghost was about to make its move after revealing its true form, Gu Jinghuai thrust his sword forward.
The peach wood sword pierced the ghost's heart, and before it could even unleash its power, it was killed by the peach wood sword and vanished into nothingness.
Gao Jianyun: ? ?
How did Gu Jinghuai become so capable?
This single sword thrust actually defeated the ghost that had revealed its true form.
Sun Hao slumped into a chair, shaking his head, his eyes brimming with tears: "Impossible... This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
How did his mother get killed by a ghost?
A wave of sadness washed over Sun Hao, and he stared at the vanished ghost with red eyes.
"Tuantuan, can I see my mom one last time? I... I haven't said goodbye to my mom yet. She must have so much to say to me."
Gu Jinghuai's handsome face was covered with a layer of coldness as he said in a businesslike tone, "Her soul is gone too."
Tuantuan raised her head and met Gu Jinghuai's calm eyes. She pursed her cherry lips and remained silent.
Sun Hao covered his face and wept. Gao Jianyun sat beside him and comforted him: "Young man, you have to look forward. Although you won't see your mother one last time, she would definitely want you to live well and be healthy and happy. As for the ghost that killed your mother, Jing Huai has already dealt with it, which can be considered revenge for your mother."
Tears streamed from between Sun Hao's fingers. Gao Jianyun handed him two tissues and went to comfort him.
Gu Jinghuai and Tuantuan squatted on the ground together, looking at the ghost insects.
Gu Jinghuai casually picked up a jar, put a few ghost worms inside, put the lid on, and stood up, saying, "Uncle Gao, I'll take these nematodes with me. I'll have my grandfather take a look and see how best to destroy them."
"Alright, you can take them. Even if you send these ghost worms to the Paranormal Bureau, I don't think they'll be able to handle them properly. We don't want things to backfire and we'll be in big trouble."
Gao Jianyun felt troubled when he talked about the people in the Paranormal Bureau.
Why can't you assign him a few more capable colleagues like Tuantuan and Gu Jinghuai?
Gu Jinghuai found a few plastic bags, put the can inside, wrapped it twice more, and carried it in his hand.
Sun Hao wasn't in a good mood, so Tuantuan gave him a lollipop she was carrying and comforted him for a while.
When Yang Jinchuan called, the little girl was talking to Sun Hao.
"Dad, Tuantuan is with Brother Jinghuai and Uncle Gao. We'll go back in a bit."
Yang Jinchuan: "Where are you? Dad will come pick you up."
As soon as Tuantuan heard this, she knew that her father must have something important to tell her.
Gao Jianyun stayed behind to accompany Sun Hao, while Tuantuan and Gu Jinghuai joined Yang Jinchuan.
...
In a hospital ward.
Yang Nanqiao looked at his old friend lying in the hospital bed, with black strangulation marks on his neck, a shocking sight.
"Old Yang, you were so close to not seeing me again," the old man said with a chuckle.
"Old Ren, you still like to joke. We agreed to live a few more years to spend more time with the children. Didn't you say your granddaughter is very cute? When are you going to bring her out to meet my granddaughter? Let me tell you, my granddaughter is very cute. Everyone who sees her loves her."
Ren Zhongyuan curled his lip: "Old Yang, you're still so exaggerated. That's your granddaughter. Even if she's ugly, you'd still say she's beautiful. Who would think their own child is ugly?"
"Old Ren, if you don't believe me, just wait and see my granddaughter. I told you my wife was beautiful, but you didn't believe me. Now that you see her, why are you all over her?"
Ren Zhongyuan: "..."
Why does this old man Yang always like to expose his shortcomings?
A true hero doesn't dwell on past glories!
He also wanted to pursue Wan Yunzhi back then, but they were a perfect couple and their relationship was very close, so he came to terms with reality.
If we can't be lovers, let's be friends.
Once you become friends, you'll be friends for life.
"Just wait, when my granddaughter comes over, don't you dare slap me in the face."
