Chapter 178 Promise to Help
"That's a matter for you police officers."
Before Zhong Nianyao could speak, Old Master Zhong spoke first, "Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with Yaoyao. You can't morally blackmail a girl who is still in college!"
No matter what, he just didn't agree with his granddaughter getting involved in such a dangerous thing. No matter how capable his granddaughter was, in his eyes, she was just a little girl.
Hearing Mr. Zhong's strong words, Luo Yong became anxious. He took a step forward and was about to speak, but was stopped by Han Xin beside him.
Han Xin shook his head at Luo Yong, then turned to look at Mr. Zhong and Zhong Nianyao, and said apologetically, "We weren't thoughtful enough. Sorry for disturbing you today, we'll be leaving now."
After saying that, he glanced at Zhong Nian Yao and planned to leave with Luo Yong.
The purpose of his coming today was indeed to ask Zhong Nianyao for help. Now, apart from asking Zhong Nianyao for help, they had no other choice.
However, he could understand Mr. Zhong's concerns. Apart from anything else, if his daughter were to be involved in this case now, he would absolutely not want to. Putting himself in his shoes, it was normal for Mr. Zhong to be unhappy.
"Wait a moment!"
Just when Han Xin and Luo Yong were about to leave, Zhong Nian Yao suddenly called them to stop.
The two of them were immediately delighted and quickly turned around to look at Zhong Nian Yao, their eyes filled with anxiety and expectation, hoping to hear the answer they wanted from the other person.
"Yaoyao!" Old Master Zhong shook his head disapprovingly.
As soon as Zhong Nianyao opened her mouth, he already knew what his granddaughter was planning to do. He was very disapproving. Although he didn't know what the case was like, he could tell from the two policemen that it was no ordinary case. Therefore, he definitely didn't want Zhong Nianyao to get involved.
"Grandpa, I've been involved in this matter for a long time." Zhong Nianyao said with a smile, "From the moment I sent out that talisman paper, I've been unable to escape from it. And-"
"They can't do this. If they continue like this, more people will die."
Mr. Zhong disagreed, his tone coaxing, "Yaoyao, this is very dangerous, don't go. If you really feel bored, then go traveling or go shopping!"
"If anything happens to you, how am I going to explain it to your dad?"
Listening to Mr. Zhong's coaxing tone, Zhong Nianyao smiled helplessly and then said, "Grandpa, you should know very well that with my current abilities, nothing will happen. You can rest assured."
Han Xin and Luo Yong were very nervous, fearing that Zhong Nianyao, who had finally agreed, would be persuaded by Mr. Zhong in the end.
Seeing that Mr. Zhong seemed to be about to say something, Zhong Nianyao quickly walked up to Han Xin and the others, and then said in a righteous and stern manner, "Captain Han, I think the situation is very urgent, so we should leave quickly!"
After saying that, without waiting for Mr. Zhong to say anything, Zhong Nianyao urged Han Xin and Luo Yong to leave with them.
Only Mr. Zhong was left alone in the reception room, jumping up and down in anger.
When he returned to the dining room, Mr. Zhong's face was still gloomy, as if someone owed him hundreds of millions.
When everyone saw Mr. Zhong's unpleasant expression, they couldn't help but wonder what had happened. However, no one dared to ask, and they could only continue to eat breakfast in silence.
Even Zhong Mengxuan, who wanted to laugh at Zhong Nian Yao, didn't dare to say anything at this moment, for fear that the anger would spread to herself.
Only Old Madam Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. She could see that although her husband's expression was gloomy, he didn't seem worried. This meant that nothing was wrong with her granddaughter. So, there was no need to worry too much.
As for what exactly happened, she would have to wait until after breakfast to find a chance to ask.
Meanwhile, Han Xin and Luo Yong, who had already left the Zhong family, hadn't fully recovered from their shock. In their daze, it seemed they had achieved their goal for the day.
Zhong Nianyao, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, asked directly, "Where are we going now?"
"Huh?" Han Xin was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted. He returned to normal and his expression became serious. "Ms. Zhong, where do you think we should start investigating now?"
They had absolutely no clue what was going on in this case. Furthermore, it was almost certain to be a paranormal incident, leaving them at a loss. So, he thought it would be best to seek professional advice.
After thinking for a moment, Zhong Nianyao said, "Why don't we go to the hospital to see the driver first? He's the latest victim, and if there are any clues left behind, he's the only one who could be the cause."
Soon, the three of them arrived at the hospital.
The taxi driver recognized Zhong Nianyao immediately upon seeing her. He was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. "Little girl, why are you here? I was planning to find you after I was discharged from the hospital and thank you properly."
"It was your talisman that saved me! Otherwise, I might have already died."
He hadn't expected that the girl he'd just picked up would be so secretive. When he first saw the talisman paper tucked inside the money, he had been planning to throw it away. But for some reason, he suddenly felt uneasy and ended up staying.
Fortunately, he stayed, otherwise he would not be lying in the hospital ward, but in the morgue.
He could hear that none of the previous victims were alive.
"You're lucky." Zhong Nianyao glanced at the driver and then said with a smile, "I'm not that capable of competing with the God of Hell for a life. The fact that you're able to survive is also your own good fortune."
"Driver, you must be a very kind person normally! You've done a lot of good deeds, and these are your blessings. That's why you were able to survive this time thanks to that talisman."
She merely played a facilitating role. Ultimately, it was because the driver was a kind person with a lot of good karma. Otherwise, even with that talisman, he wouldn't have survived the catastrophe.
