Song Qingshan said matter-of-factly, and even got more and more excited as he spoke: "Uncle thinks it's better to let this matter end here. Go to the police station and withdraw the charges. Our whole family will be grateful to you in the future."
Song Mian nodded, then laughed in exasperation at Song Qingshan: "As expected, a tree without bark will surely die, and a person without shame is invincible. Song Qingshan, you always manage to perfectly hit my sore spot."
Old Master Song glared at her: "Song Mian, don't push your luck! It's your good fortune that your uncle is willing to lower himself to speak politely to a junior like you. Don't go too far!"
Looking at Old Master Song's stern and harsh expression, Song Mian suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
Although she had long known that Old Master Song was biased and that he had never loved her, Song Mian still felt extremely disappointed when she looked at the old man.
Deep down, she does yearn for family affection.
Unfortunately, apart from her grandmother, there was no one in the entire Song family who deserved her pity.
Song Qingshan was still unwilling to give up and shamelessly moved closer to Song Mian: "Xiao Mian, look how insensible you are. You've made your grandfather so angry. Aren't you going to apologize to him right now?"
"I have nothing to apologize for. I've done nothing wrong. You're the ones who are making trouble!" Song Mian took a deep breath, and the sadness that had been weighing on her heart vanished completely. "It was Song Jinyan and Song Yuan who came to extort me first. All I did was protect my own interests. I did nothing wrong. If you want to blame someone, blame them."
"Fine, Song Mian, you've got guts!" Old Master Song flicked his sleeves and left with Song Qingshan.
As Song Mian watched the two figures disappear into the distance, a strong sense of powerlessness washed over her.
"Miss Song Mian!" Qi Yefeng rushed forward to support Song Mian, his eyes filled with undisguised concern: "Miss Song Mian, are you alright?"
Song Mian rubbed her aching temples and turned her head to find that not only Qi Yefeng, but also the bodyguards were looking at her with concern.
"Miss Song, don't worry, we're here to help you!"
Thinking that these bodyguards had been wholeheartedly looking out for her ever since Qi Yefeng sent them, Song Mian felt even more grateful to them.
"Don't worry, Mr. Qi, I've already asked Chief Ling Jiao for help. Her people will be responsible for protecting me from now on." Seeing the worried look on Qi Yefeng's face, Song Mian told him about the situation involving Ling Jiao and Yu Bai.
Inside the funeral shop, Qi Yefeng held a cup of fragrant milk tea, listening to Song Mian recount the entire process of her relationship with Yu Bai.
Qi Yefeng suddenly realized, "So the reason Yu Bai didn't open the door for us last time was because he was worried that we would see him as an oddball after we discovered his secret?"
Recalling Yu Bai's tense appearance before he fell into a coma, Song Mian felt very sorry for him: "I think it might be because of this. Actually, Yu Bai is also very pitiful. I heard Jiao Jiao say before that some people are born with sensitive constitutions and are easily targeted by ghosts."
Qi Yefeng took a sip of milk tea: "So, can these people who are haunted by ghosts also see ghosts in real life?"
Song Mian shook her head and said, "I don't know about that. But I know that Yu Bai has always been able to sense that someone is following him. However, apart from Chief Ling, it seems that no one else can understand him."
This reminded Song Mian of the time when she first encountered a ghost.
She was also very scared when she first met Jiaojiao.
Moreover, she was lucky enough to see ghosts through the system, and the ghosts she encountered were all relatively benign.
In contrast, the ghosts that haunted Yu Bai were not so kind; they were often vicious and wicked.
In addition, the people around him never believed in Yu Bai, so the pressure he faced was immense.
"When Jiaojiao and Mr. Chen arrive tonight, I'll ask for their opinions first, and then see if I can help Yu Bai." Having made up her mind, Song Mian waited for the night to fall.
After sunset, as night fell, Song Mian prepared various snacks in advance and sat at the table waiting for Lin Jiaojiao and the others to arrive.
Lin Jiaojiao brought not only Meng Yi this time, but also Chen Shubin.
The three ghosts and one person sat around the table, eating snacks and discussing things.
Song Mian quickly told the three ghosts the whole story, word for word.
All three ghosts stared intently at Song Mian, lost in thought.
Song Mian became somewhat nervous because of their reactions: "Why aren't you all saying anything?"
“I’m thinking about how I can persuade you not to get involved in this. Mr. Song, do you know how rare it is to be possessed by a ghost? Ordinary ghosts can’t even possess people, so the ghost you encountered this time must be at least a high-level ghost.” Meng Yi said seriously while eating instant noodles.
“Isn’t Mr. Chen also a high-level ghost? I’ve encountered high-level ghosts before, and I don’t think they’re anything to be afraid of,” Song Mian said matter-of-factly.
"To be precise, there are some differences. Just like when I helped you punish Song Jinyan before, I can occasionally do bad things to living people, but I can't keep bothering living people. Otherwise, even if I am a high-level ghost, I will be punished by the ghosts of the Ghost Realm Management Bureau."
Chen Shubin stuffed the potato chips in his hand into his mouth one by one: "And ghosts that can haunt the living are usually not simple. They may have had a lot of resentment in their previous life, or they may have had some kind of entanglement with this kid named Yu Bai in their previous life."
“I remember the ghost I saw. It seemed a bit neurotic… and it could possess Yu Bai’s body, which Yu Bai was very unwilling to have. Do you think it might be Yu Bai’s deceased parents who have come to haunt him?” Song Mian boldly guessed.
Lin Jiaojiao was the first to stand up and deny Song Mian's guess: "According to Chief Ling Jiao, Yu Bai's parents should be very loving. A loving couple would not not love their child. Being possessed by a ghost would have a very bad effect on the living. I think that even if Yu Bai's parents became ghosts, they would not be willing to see their child suffer."
"It's hard to say. When a person dies and becomes a ghost, they lose many of their past memories. Without memories, a ghost loses many of the emotions it had when it was alive. Especially since his mother committed suicide, she might have wanted to take her son to hell with her because she saw him living happily." Meng Yi stopped eating, as if he had thought of something, and the cold smile on his lips deepened.
"You haven't been ghosts long enough to have seen any vicious vengeful spirits, which is why you can say such naive things."
Seeing the wicked smile on Meng Yi's lips, Song Mian gave him a resounding flick on the forehead.
Meng Yi winced in pain, instantly losing her guard, and covered her translucent forehead: "Song Mian, you ambushed me again!"
"How many times have I told you? A child ghost should act like a child ghost. Don't always spout such childish lines." Ignoring Meng Yi's resentful gaze, Song Mian changed the subject: "Even if Yu Bai's parents are pestering him, why can't I persuade them to let him go?"
