After seeing off the five leaders, Zhang Meng, with a happy face, returned to the Liao family's hall and was stopped by Mr. Liao and his grandson.
At this time, the grandfather and grandson pressed her on the sofa and interrogated her strictly.
"Tell me, Zhang Meng, what are you planning? I told you to leave, but you refused to leave and insisted on going in." Liao Qingting asked in a pretended fierce tone.
Zhang Meng pursed her lips and smiled, then immediately confessed, "It's nothing, actually. Elder Dong did give Gu Mingtai and me a case-handling team, but the funding was so limited. When I heard you talk about the power of these five families, I thought of a way to have the best of both worlds. That is, I can recruit people and find funding to solve the problem of this team. Kill two birds with one stone, isn't that great?"
Old Master Liao suddenly smiled and pointed at Zhang Meng, saying, "You little girl, I was worried about you just now, but it seems my worries were in vain. You naughty girl, you learned bad things from that stinky monk Jingchen."
At this moment, an unhappy voice floated down from upstairs, "Who is scolding me behind my back? Shameless, if you have the guts, scold me to my face. What's the point of scolding me behind my back?"
Old Master Liao's expression froze. He slowly raised his head and looked at Monk Jingchen who was coming down the stairs. "You stinky monk, you didn't come down until I told you to, but you came down as soon as I told you to. Are you eavesdropping on our conversation from behind?"
Monk Jingchen came downstairs, stood in front of him, and snorted softly, "That's because you have a guilty conscience."
For a moment, the Liao family hall became a battlefield for the two old men to quarrel.
Zhang Meng and Liao Qingting looked at each other, then secretly climbed up the stairs and gave this place to the two old men.
Today, Gu Mingtai went out early and came back late again, and he didn't get home until almost 11:30 in the evening.
Zhang Meng, who had been mentally prepared for this, was looking at the alchemy secret book in his hand. When he heard someone opening the door, he immediately put down the book and looked towards the door.
Soon, I saw a man who looked exhausted.
"Why are you so late again? Have you eaten?" Zhang Meng asked as she came over to help him take off his military uniform.
After taking off his military uniform, Gu Mingtai hung it up, took her hand and walked to the sofa to sit down, "I've eaten. I ate with Ye Shiping and the others."
Only then did Zhang Meng give up the urge to make him a midnight snack.
"Everything is going well today. Did you get rid of the evil baby spirit?" He knew this because last night the couple talked about what they were going to do today.
Zhang Meng nodded and pointed to her backpack. "I've put it on top of the paper ingot. I promised it that when I pick a good time, I'll surpass it and reincarnate."
At this point, Zhang Meng suddenly grabbed his hand with excitement, "Gu Mingtai, I have good news for you. We may have funding."
Gu Mingtai's eyes immediately lit up, "How did you do that?"
Zhang Meng immediately chuckled and with a cunning expression began to talk about her battle of will and courage with the five family leaders in the Liao family after she came back today.
"Well done!" Gu Mingtai said happily.
Zhang Meng chuckled again and said, "Gu Mingtai, what kind of side test do you think we should come up with? Also, how many people should we recruit from these five families to join the team?"
Gu Mingtai touched his chin and smiled complacently, "That's easy. Just train those people the same way we trained Ye Shiping and the others before. As for the number of people, just tell them to have each of the five families send two people. Then we can pick five people to join our ghost-hunting team."
When Zhang Meng heard his plan, she immediately looked at him with admiration, "Hubby, you're getting smarter and smarter. What can I do? I like you more and more!"
Gu Mingtai snorted proudly and picked her up sideways.
Zhang Meng was so scared that she grabbed his arm tightly, "Ah! What are you doing? Put me down!"
Gu Mingtai stared at her with blazing eyes, lowered his head and whispered softly in her ear, "Wife, your calling me husband makes me feel weak all over, and there's a fire in my heart that I want to vent. You started this fire, so it's only fair that you put it out."
Zhang Meng was stunned after hearing what he said.
When she came to her senses, they were both lying on the bed, his hands already moving up her clothes.
Zhang Meng was so scared that she quickly reached out and grabbed his hand that was about to do something inappropriate, "No, you haven't showered yet, go take a shower first!"
His hand stopped halfway through the movement, and his eyes, which seemed to be on fire, first stared at her.
After a long while, Zhang Meng finally heard him sigh helplessly. Then she saw his hand gently scratching the tip of her nose. He looked at her with a doting yet helpless expression and said, "Okay, I'll go take a shower first. You wait here for me. I'll be back soon."
He knew that the little woman in front of him was very clean.
If he did the kind of thing that husband and wife did with her without taking a shower this time, he was sure that she would not let him get close to her for the next month or half a month.
Hearing that he finally agreed to take a shower first, Zhang Meng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately raised her face to him and said, "Okay, I will lie on the bed and wait for you, but you can take your time to wash, there is no rush, wash it clean."
Gu Mingtai looked at the mischievous look on her face, lowered his head and kissed her forehead forcefully, then said to her with a dangerous expression, "Just wait and see how I'm going to deal with you after I finish washing you."
Before she could react, he immediately went downstairs to take a shower.
Twenty minutes later, Gu Mingtai, who had just finished taking a shower and was ready to work, immediately noticed something was wrong with the room as it was too quiet.
