Before leaving, Gu Jinghuai handed something to Tuantuan.
Tuantuan understood perfectly and didn't ask what he had given her.
Back home, Tuantuan went to her room and locked the door from the inside.
Xiao Mei floated down from above Tuan Tuan's head, landed next to Tuan Tuan, squatted down, and looked at the things she took out of her bag with Tuan Tuan.
[Aren't these the three ghost worms that Gu Jinghuai put away in the wonton shop?]
"Yes, Brother Jinghuai is keeping it for me."
Xiao Mei looked on in astonishment: "Gu Jinghuai is too smart!"
"Because the ghost worm said it would prove its worth, so let it prove it now."
The little milk ball released the first ghost worm, and then released the other three ghost worms as well.
When fellow villagers meet, their eyes well up with tears.
The four ghost insects whispered amongst themselves, oblivious to everyone else.
Why didn't you run away?
"Why are you trying to escape? Do you think you can get out? See that human cub over there? Don't let her cute and easy-going appearance fool you, she could kill you with one punch."
"Is it really that scary? I don't believe it."
"If you don't believe me, why didn't you run away? How come she brought you back?"
Ghost Bug: "..."
There is some dignity, but not much.
Xiao Mei curled her lip, looking disgusted: [A bunch of idiots, do you think we can't understand you?]
The ghost insects: "..."
She's a little cunning, but not much.
The ghost insects fell silent, each one lying face down on the table, utterly speechless.
The number one ghost worm quickly crawled in front of Tuan Tuan and said obsequiously, "My lord, now that my brothers are all here, let's begin our operation tonight. I can't wait to show you my skills, shall we?"
Other ghost insects: ? ?
What's going on?
Has the leader already defected to the enemy?
Tuan Tuan's big, bright eyes looked at the ghost worm that had stood upright, and poked it with her finger.
The ghost insect immediately relaxed completely, and was overjoyed: "Sir, do you think it's alright?"
The little girl smiled sweetly: "Okay."
The other ghosts couldn't believe that their leader had such a sycophantic side.
Such a sycophant, has he been poisoned?
Aren't they known for their ruthless killing, murder, and wickedness?
Obedience and the like are completely absent from their behavior!
The three ghost worms lay on one side, looking at their lackey leader, unsure of what to say.
In short: It's unbearable to watch.
...
When Meng Xiong learned that Meng Qi had lost 200 million, he felt dizzy and slumped into a chair.
Meng Qi, like a grandson, kept his head down and dared not speak.
“Dad, the Yang family is too strange. I seriously suspect that their research over the past six months has just been a show for us, a deliberate trap for us to fall into.”
Meng Xiong sneered and kicked his good-for-nothing son: "Do you think the Yang family are all idiots? Half a year of painstaking research, just to put on a show for you? How dare you!"
Meng Qi retorted, "But how could Yang Chengze develop a product that's even better than before in such a short time? Everyone says it's thanks to that little dumpling from the Yang family, but I don't believe it at all. He's just a child, how could he possibly have such courage and ability!"
"Are you stupid? Didn't Yang Chengze say that the fifth son of the Yang family was also involved? The Yang family is using that child as a shield to divert attention from Yang Junjie. You idiot, you don't even understand this!"
Meng Xiong: ? ?
It seems that's really the case?
"The Yang family portrayed themselves as doting on that kid named Tuantuan, but it turns out they wanted to use a child as a shield. Tsk, how ruthless!"
Meng Xiong slapped him across the face: "If you had that kind of heart, you wouldn't have been so easily fooled."
Meng Qi rubbed his sore face after being slapped: "Dad, didn't you send out the ghost worms? Why were they completely useless?"
When this matter was brought up, Meng Xiong suspected that there might be something wrong with the ghost insects.
Why are these ghost insects he's raised for so many years no longer obedient to him?
He lost four ghost worms, but he still has four left.
He tried to summon the four ghost worms back, but he couldn't summon any of them.
Meng Qi planned to go and check on the four ghost insects, and then have them summon the missing ghost insects back.
Meanwhile, in the vessel where the ghost insects live.
The four ghost insects returned, and after a conversation, the other four ghost insects followed suit.
Brother Ghost Bug happily led the way, crawling forward: "Pipi Bug, let's go!"
When Meng Xiong brought Meng Qi inside to see the ghost insects, they found that there weren't any left!
Meng Xiong clutched his heart, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, and then fainted.
Meng Qi was so frightened that he helped his elderly father and took him to the hospital.
...
Tuan Tuan and Gu Jinghuai were in a hidden spot, waiting to meet up with the ghost insect.
Along the way, they saw eight worms return, each one obediently entering Tuantuan's bag.
"Brother Jinghuai, let's go back."
Gu Jinghuai nodded and got into the ghost car with Tuantuan.
[Little dumpling, aren't your family worried about you coming out so late?]
"No way, the night is the domain of ghosts. Ghosts are afraid of me, so I'm definitely not afraid."
The little dumpling's reply was flawless, highlighting its sincerity.
The driver chuckled: "You're such a clever kid. This reminds me of the legends that originated from Ghost Street."
"What legend?"
A legend has long circulated in Ghost Street about a witch. It's said that when she appears, all sorts of good things are presented to her for her to choose from. Only after she has made her selection can normal trade take place in Ghost Street.
Ghost Street?
Tuantuan was curious but didn't understand, so Gu Jinghuai explained, "That's a place where humans and ghosts meet. You can find a lot of good things there, but you can also easily lose your life."
"Brother Jinghuai, are there any good foods on Ghost Street? Like the food streets in our world, do they sell things like jianbing (Chinese crepes), crayfish, yogurt cups, and roasted sweet potato noodles?"
The driver laughed heartily: "Little dumpling, you're too naive. You can't eat things sold there. If you do, you'll die!"
Tuantuan tried to dissuade her, saying, "There's nothing good to eat, and Tuantuan doesn't like it."
In the world of foodies, a street without snacks is simply not perfect.
Gu Jinghuai's phone rang. He answered it, and Gu Hongwen's anxious voice came from the other end.
"Jinghuai, where are you? Come back quickly! Something's happened! Something terrible has happened!"
Gu Jinghuai's smile vanished instantly, and he said urgently, "Grandpa, don't worry, I'll head back right now."
Gu Jinghuai gave the driver the address, and the driver didn't dare to delay. In a flash, the car sped off.
The ghost car flew over human vehicles at an incredible speed, arriving at the Gu family's house in no time.
Gu Jinghuai got out of the car, and Tuantuan followed him out.
“Brother Jinghuai, I’ll go with you to take a look.”
Without waiting for Gu Jinghuai's reply, fearing that he might disagree, Tuantuan went straight to the Gu family home.
Tuantuan ran very fast, and Gu Jinghuai followed her inside.
The driver exclaimed in amazement: "Even going to the underworld to be reincarnated wouldn't get you this fast!"
