Director Xiao looked at the two of them and shook his head. He quickly looked at Gu Mingtai with an embarrassed look on his face. "Comrade Gu, let me make it short. There's been trouble at home again these past few days. My family keeps seeing my deceased nephew walking around the house, and he's scared several family members away. My father knows your abilities, so he'd like you to come back and help me out."
Gu Mingtai was silent for a while, and finally nodded slightly at him.
"That's great, thank you, Comrade Gu." Director Xiao immediately expressed his gratitude.
"Why do you help outsiders and not us family members? Are you still a member of our Nie family?" Gu Wanzhen, who had been paying attention to this side, walked forward dissatisfiedly and pointed at Gu Mingtai and accused him.
At this time, Gu Wanzhen looked like she had aged several years. She had applied countless layers of powder to cover up her ugly face, which was as white as a ghost.
"Mom." Nie Junyou frowned and shouted at her unhappily.
Gu Wanzhen immediately turned around and said angrily, "Did I say something wrong? Isn't he from our Nie family? Look at him, you treat him as your elder brother, but he doesn't treat you as his younger brother. My good son, wake up and stop trying to curry favor with others."
Nie Junyou's face turned red after what she said, but because the person who said that was his mother, he suppressed the anger in his heart.
Finally, Nie Guiming couldn't stand it any longer and yelled at Gu Wanzhen, "Shut up!"
Nie Guiming walked over with the support of Nie Junyou.
This was the first time Gu Mingtai looked at him up close. Upon seeing him, his slightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed and a look of understanding appeared on his face.
Gu Wanzhen took a step back, a bit of fear on her face, but with reluctance in her eyes. "Dad, you saw what happened just now. We clearly came here to ask him for help, but he only helped the Xiao family and not us, the Nie family. Does he still regard you as his grandfather?"
Zhang Meng, who was standing by, had been gritting her teeth. If Gu Mingtai hadn't held her back, she would have definitely taught this woman surnamed Gu a lesson.
Now that Gu Mingtai finally had no time to bother her, he had to teach her a lesson. "Mrs. Nie, have you been sleeping well at home these days?"
Looking at her pair of dark and heavy eye sockets, Zhang Meng felt a sense of accomplishment.
This is the fate of bullying her man. Gu Wanzhen, who was enjoying the provocation, looked at Zhang Meng in a daze.
Seeing that she seemed to have no idea what she was talking about, Zhang Meng curled her lips and kindly reminded her, "Mrs. Nie, haven't you seen some things you shouldn't have seen these days? I want to ask you, are those things beautiful?"
All of a sudden, Gu Wanzhen's expression changed, and she looked at Zhang Meng with shock and fear.
"So it was you who made me become like that. You bitch, it was you who harmed me." He was ready to rush over with gritted teeth.
Zhang Meng sneered, "If you're not afraid of seeing something even scarier, just come and hit me."
Gu Wanzhen rushed a few steps and was so scared that she stopped abruptly. She looked at Zhang Meng with horror, as if she had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.
She didn't want to see anything more terrifying. No one knew how she had survived the past two nights.
In the past, she loved the comfortable feeling of sleeping after dark, but now, she was most afraid of the dark, because as long as it was dark, she could see things that others could not see - ghosts, ghosts who died in various ways, some hanged themselves, with their tongues sticking out, asking her to play with them, and some were hit by cars, with either arms or legs missing, which was so scary.
Thinking of the horrible things she had seen, Gu Wanzhen felt her legs starting to tremble again.
Seeing her reaction, Zhang Meng felt much more satisfied. She slowly walked up to her and whispered in her ear, "This is just a small lesson for you. I'm telling you, you'd better control your mouth and stop scolding my man. My man is not someone who can be scolded by anyone. If I hear you throwing dirty water on him or scolding him harshly again, I will let you keep company with those ghosts forever."
Gu Wanzhen was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and she subconsciously took a step back.
Gu Mingtai, who was talking to the Nie family, looked over here. Seeing this situation, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he quickly turned his head back to continue dealing with Nie Junyou, who was like a sticky plaster.
"I've made it very clear. Your grandfather's condition isn't a disease. He brought it upon himself. As for why he became like this, you can ask him yourself."
When Nie Guiming was pointed out, a look of panic flashed across his face. He glanced around and felt very guilty.
Nie Junyou, who was fully focused on talking to Gu Mingtai, naturally missed his performance.
"Brother, if you don't want to treat grandpa, just say so. Why do you have to say such things to slander grandpa?"
Nie Junyou was very angry, thinking that Gu Mingtai said these things just because he didn't want to treat his grandfather.
Gu Mingtai's face darkened. Since Nie Junyou couldn't convince him, he might as well go straight to the person involved.
"You're not going to say a word, are you? Do you really want me to tell you everything about how you got this disease?" He stared coldly at Nie Guiming who was leaning on Nie Junyou.
Nie Guiming rolled his eyes a few times, struggled for a while, and looked at Gu Mingtai pitifully, "Junming, I know you hate grandpa, but grandpa doesn't blame you."
Seeing that he was like a dead pig that was not afraid of hot water, Gu Mingtai sneered angrily and said through gritted teeth, "Alright, alright, since you are not afraid anymore, then I don't need to give you face. Your illness is simply the result of the backlash of some evil magic you used. If I am not mistaken, it is because you raised a little ghost. Now that the little ghost is dead, you, as the owner, have lost a few drops of blood and your health is not as good as before."
