Du Lei's expression remained as calm as the abyss, without the slightest fluctuation. His eyes swept over Wu Shengli and Zhao Yuehua in turn.
He slowly spoke, "My little granddaughter is indeed unique in some ways, but these things cannot be publicized."
"This matter ends today."
Although Du Lei's voice was not loud, it revealed an unquestionable majesty.
Zhao Yuehua didn't expect Du Lei to say that, but after thinking about it, he felt it made sense.
After all, Du Lei is the head of a military region. If someone spreads the news that his family is involved in such feudal superstitions, it would probably bring him considerable negative impact.
Wu Shengli and Zhao Yuehua exchanged glances and reached a tacit understanding in an instant.
Zhao Yuehua quickly stated, "Commander Du, please rest assured. I will never leak a single word about this matter!"
However, compared with Zhao Yuehua's decisiveness, Wu Shengli seemed a little hesitant.
On the other hand, Wu Shengli spoke with some embarrassment.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally mustered up the courage to say, "Commander, I came here this time, firstly to visit you, and secondly to bring Old Zhao to meet you."
Having said this, he paused and continued, "However, I have one more unwelcome request. I hope to ask your little granddaughter for help again."
There was a hint of earnestness and helplessness in Wu Shengli's words, as if this request made him quite embarrassed.
Du Lei frowned slightly. He looked at Wu Shengli, trying to capture more information from his expression.
Seeing that Du Lei did not respond, Wu Shengli took a deep breath and seemed to be considering his words in his mind.
Then he said with a stiff upper lip: "Commander, we have recently encountered a difficult situation."
"This case involves the family of a leader. The pressure from above is enormous. We are really helpless."
"I am taking the liberty of interrupting you. I hope your granddaughter can lend a hand."
After saying that, he looked at Du Lei nervously, waiting for his response.
Although Du Lei didn't want Su Muxi to be too involved in these ghost stories, it was a good thing that she could help the police solve the case.
After a brief hesitation, he finally decided to go upstairs to find Su Muxi in person.
He said to Wu Shengli, "Xiao Wu, have a cup of tea and wait for a while. I'll be back soon."
Then he got up and went upstairs.
Wu Shengli watched Du Lei's back as he went upstairs, and knew that Du Lei was probably going to look for Su Muxi.
He knew very well that Du Lei's worries were not unnecessary. Many cases were often accompanied by blood and violence, and Su Muxi was just a child after all. It was indeed inappropriate to let her be involved in these things.
If there were any other choice, I would definitely not come here to bother you.
When Du Lei came upstairs, he happened to meet Aunt Lin coming out of the room.
Aunt Lin hurriedly said, "Commander, Xiaoxi accepted the envelope."
Du Lei nodded slightly to show that he understood.
"Okay, then go ahead and get busy. I'll chat with Xiaoxi for a while."
Du Lei walked to Su Muxi's door and was about to knock, but he saw that the door had been opened in advance, revealing Su Muxi's figure.
"Grandpa, come in quickly."
Du Lei looked at the cute little guy in front of him with a doting look on his face and asked softly, "Can you hear my voice?"
Su Muxi held Du Lei's hand tightly, looked up at him, and replied in a soft voice, "Yes."
Su Muxi took Du Lei's hand and looked up at him, "Yes."
Then, she blinked her bright eyes and asked curiously, "Grandpa, is there something you want to tell me?"
"Grandpa, do you have something to tell me?"
Du Lei walked into the room and sat down.
"Xiao Xi, Wu Shengli said that their police station has encountered a very difficult case and would like you to come over and help."
"This case is so difficult even for the police, I'm afraid it's quite complicated. Are you willing to go?"
Du Lei's tone was very gentle, and his eyes revealed his concern and love for Su Muxi.
Su Muxi could understand Du Lei's concerns.
She said seriously and firmly, "Grandpa, I know you're worried that I'm still young and that being exposed to too much darkness in human nature will affect my mental development."
Du Lei nodded silently in agreement.
But Su Muxi immediately said: "But grandpa, you don't have to worry too much."
"These things will not have much impact on me. I will maintain an optimistic and positive attitude and grow up happily."
"Also, by helping those in need or ghosts, I can accumulate merit, which is also very beneficial to my growth."
"My abilities have improved so much because I helped some people and ghosts and gained merit."
Her eyes were full of determination and confidence, as if assuring Du Lei that she could handle all difficulties and challenges.
Du Lei felt sincerely relieved and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Since this doesn't affect you, then come downstairs with me and see what Wu Shengli wants you to do for him."
As he spoke, Du Lei wanted to stand up, but was stopped by Su Muxi.
As for the fact that Du Lei asked Aunt Lin to deliver the thank-you gift to Zhao Yuehua but did not let her go downstairs to meet them, the clever Su Muxi had already seen through Du Lei's concerns.
She understood that due to Du Lei's special identity, what she did did make him feel a little embarrassed.
However, Su Muxi did not complain or feel dissatisfied at all.
Du Lei raised his eyebrows, looked at Su Muxi, and said calmly: "What's the problem? Tell me."
Su Muxi said softly with a hint of apology: "Grandpa, I know that what I did will definitely cause you some trouble. Will you be angry?"
