Chapter 78 Water Ghost Catches a Substitute
The yacht night was held by a luxury brand endorsed by Shen Luoyu on the river. Invited guests could enjoy the night view and delicious food on the luxurious yacht.
When the dinner started, Huo Shaoqing floated in front of the table, breathing in the aroma of the delicious food.
"It's not as delicious as the candles Wanwan bought for me."
Huo Shaoqing was a little bored and wanted to go find his second sister to play, but after floating around he couldn't find any trace of her. When he heard from the people next to him, he realized that the second daughter of the Huo family didn't come this time.
He was bored and wanted to play with someone.
Seeing Lu Beichen and Shen Luoyu were there, there was also a girl wearing a princess dress and a crystal crown next to him. She seemed to be Shen Luoyu's sixth sister, Shen Jiaojiao.
Seeing Shen Jiaojiao looking as proud as a peacock, Huo Shaoqing wanted to play a trick on her.
He floated over and was about to pull off the crystal crown when he heard exclamations from the crowd.
"Someone fell into the water!"
"Hurry up and save them!"
Huo Shaoqing quickly floated over to take a look, and the following scene surprised him.
The person who fell into the water was none other than Su Niannian, the youngest daughter of the owner of this luxury brand.
Su Niannian was struggling in the icy river water. Several people jumped in to save her but none of them could catch her.
Huo Shaoqing saw a dark shadow surging below Su Niannian. It was that dark shadow that grabbed Su Niannian's feet tightly, causing her to sink to the bottom of the water.
"Hey! Where did this water ghost come from!"
Huo Shaoqing was about to jump in when he suddenly remembered that he couldn't swim, so he stood on the deck of the yacht and pointed at the water ghost and cursed.
"If you dare to kill someone, I will let my Master Wanwan beat you to pieces!"
The water ghost heard the cursing and climbed up from behind Su Niannian.
It was a terrifying face that was swollen by water and looked like a giant. Its hair was as long and dense as seaweed, sticky and entangled around Su Niannian's body.
That bloated face was as pale as melted wax, and the eye sockets were so empty that it seemed as if there were no eyeballs. Only two pitch-black holes were left, staring straight at him, eerie and vicious to the extreme.
Even if Huo Shaoqing turned into a ghost, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine when he saw this kind of ghost.
Without hesitation, he grabbed a wine glass and smashed it.
"What are you looking at? If you look again, I'll hit you!"
In the panic, no one noticed that the wine glass hit the water ghost's head.
Seeing that more and more people jumped down, the water ghost had to get off Su Niannian's back.
A few minutes later.
Su Niannian was rescued, and the black handprints all over her body scared everyone present.
"W-What is that?"
"Nian Nian is a rich girl with a delicate body. It must be because everyone was so eager to save her that they accidentally grabbed her too hard and left the marks."
Although they said this, everyone present was shrouded in a cloud of doubt and fear.
How could someone leave so many handprints on a person just to save him?
There were more than one handprint, especially on the ankles, which were so dark and blue that they almost bled.
After this accident, the dinner was terminated immediately.
The unconscious Su Niannian was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, and the rest of the people were warned by the Su family that no one was allowed to tell anyone what happened on the yacht tonight.
We are all in the same circle, and the service staff have all signed confidentiality agreements, so no one dares to post this matter online.
Lu Beichen got off the yacht and called Shen Wan immediately.
Shen Wan was still sleeping with his phone turned off.
Lu Beichen had no choice but to wait outside Shanhai Bay for a whole night.
Huo Shaoqing took a ride home with him. As soon as he got home, he shouted to Zhang Xia that he saw a water ghost and that the youngest daughter of the Su family was almost taken away by the water ghost.
Ever since Zhang Xia met Huo Shaoqing, her curiosity for gossip has grown and she would search for news on her phone.
“I didn’t see any mention of Su Niannian falling into the water, but I did see Shen Luoyu’s fans scolding the organizers for organizing a shitty yacht night, which prevented them from seeing their idol’s stunning beauty.”
Huo Shaoqing's mouth twitched: "These fans really bring bad things to their idols and offend people."
Shen Luoyu knew about it, and was afraid of offending the luxury brand and being banned by the fashion circle. After learning that fans were making trouble under the official account of the luxury brand, she quickly posted a Weibo with a nine-square diagram to comfort the fans.
"Where's Wanwan? She hasn't woken up yet. When she wakes up, I'm going to tell her that it was me who saved Su Niannian today!"
Huo Shaoqing put his hands on his hips, looking very awesome.
The next day, five in the morning.
Chen Wan finally woke up, washed up and went downstairs, and saw Huo Shaoqing standing at the bottom of the stairs with his hands on his hips, as if he had been waiting for her for a long time.
"what?"
Huo Shaoqing told with a proud look on his face about the water ghost incident that happened on the yacht last night.
Chen Wan drank the porridge brought by Zhang Xia and said thoughtfully: "There are water ghosts in many waters. The water ghost last night must have wanted to capture Su Niannian as a substitute."
"substitute?"
Huo Shaoqing and Zhang Xia both came to the table and listened attentively to her popular science lecture.
"Ghosts who drowned in the water have extremely deep negative energy and resentment. That's why you said that seven or eight people tried to pull Su Niannian out yesterday but couldn't."
"A water ghost becomes very strong in the water, probably as strong as ten adult men combined."
"Water ghosts live underwater all year round. If they don't have a substitute, they can't reincarnate. Pulling and dragging are common methods used by water ghosts to catch a substitute. Of course, there are also tricks, such as guide fish. They don't catch just anyone. They have to look for a substitute that matches their destiny."
Chen Wan analyzed, "If Su Niannian's body was covered with ghost handprints, the water ghost would have wanted to capture her as a substitute. It was you who saved her life, and with so many people going into the water, the water ghost was unwilling to let her go."
Huo Shaoqing looked even more arrogant, and continued to put his hands on his hips: "I said I saved her!"
Chen Wan added: "If the water ghost in the river hates you, it can follow the water flow and come to you as long as there is water, and it will also go to find Su Niannian."
Huo Shaoqing put down his crossed hands, his voice trembling a little: "Ah? It still wants to come to me, I didn't kill it."
Chen Wan: "It finally found a replacement, but you messed it up. Do you think it will retaliate against you?"
"But in my opinion, it would look for Su Niannian."
Huo Shaoqing suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Lu Beichen seems to want to find you because of Su Niannian. He has been waiting outside Shanhai Bay for a whole night."
Chen Wan: “…”
Why didn’t you say it earlier!
If business comes to her door, of course she will take it.
After Chen Wan had eaten and drunk his fill, he packed his clothes, took his equipment and went out.
Lu Beichen's car was indeed parked on the side of the road.
When Shen Wan came forward to take a look, he saw that he was sleeping soundly in the driver's seat.
Water ghosts won't wait for anyone.
Shen Wan simply knocked on the car window to wake up Lu Beichen.
"Master Shen!" Lu Beichen got out of the car quickly, "My uncle's daughter had an accident last night..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Wan said with a smile: "I already know the whole story, just take me to the hospital to see Su Niannian."
Lu Beichen: “!!”
Master Shen is indeed a shrewd and calculating person... Bah, bah, bah, no, he is a prophet!
