Chi Shen did not go home directly as he wished.
As one of the parties involved in what happened tonight, Chi Shen went back to the Special Security Bureau with Xu Jiayuan and Yuan Yiping to take a statement.
Chi Shen had nothing to hide about what happened tonight. After all, everyone in the Special Security Bureau heard it. So he just added some details. However, there was a problem that he still had to explain clearly.
So what is that pale ghost face, where did it come from, and why is it helping Chi Shen?
Because of this, Chi Shen brought Gui Lian into the Special Security Bureau as well. Gui Lian looked at the room full of Special Security Bureau employees and began to tremble.
The Special Security Bureau gave Gui Lian a very grand treatment, much more grand than the ones given to Lu Xiangyang and Bai Ran. There were portraits of the Three Pure Ones guarding outside the door, and a dozen Special Security Bureau employees were watching inside and outside the door, all of them fully armed. Soul-soothing incense was burning in the room, allowing Gui Lian to truly experience what it was like to be treated like a super evil ghost.
In such an environment, Guilian answered tremblingly, without reservation except for the question about the depth of the pool.
After hearing this, Yuan Yiping felt strange: "You met him at the company and became friends."
"Yes, yes." Ghost Face nodded.
Yuan Yiping looked at Chi Shen in confusion.
Chi Shen felt that Yuan Yiping might want him to explain, so he smiled and said, "Maybe it's because my sincerity and kindness touched him, so he is willing to be friends with me."
When he said this, Xu Jiayuan looked at him with horror, his expression twisted for a moment. He had always thought that Chi Shen was joking with him at night, but he didn't expect that this guy would actually be serious?
"Sincerity... and kindness?" Yuan Yiping looked at Chi Shen with a strange look, as if he felt that this word had nothing to do with ghosts. He was silent for a moment and said, "If you want to be friends with a wandering soul, then I have no objection. Most wandering souls are still rational, but as for evil spirits, maybe you don't know them well and think you can communicate with them, but in fact most of them have lost their rationality and only remember their obsessions when they died. They will do some unpredictable and hurtful things. If you offend them carelessly, they will go berserk."
Hearing Yuan Yiping say this, Gui Lian was the first to be unhappy. He jumped up and said, "Who are you saying is irrational?"
Yuan Yiping looked at him for two seconds and asked a question: "Name?"
Gui Lian was stuck, and after a long while he replied weakly: "I forgot..."
Yuan Yiping spread his hands.
Ghost Face also gave up arguing.
At this time, Chi Shen said politely: "Even so, he is still my friend. If he hurts me, it is the consequence I should bear."
Gui Lian suddenly turned around, and a hint of emotion flashed across his gloomy face. Although he felt that Chi Shen's words actually meant that even if he wanted to hurt me, I had the ability to get rid of him before that, but when he heard this, Gui Lian felt inexplicably moved and even wanted to cry.
Yuan Yiping's expression also changed. He asked, "You know your life is in danger, but you still want to be friends with him?"
Chi Shen nodded.
Yuan Yiping asked again: "He is not even human, are you still sure?"
Chi Shen said sincerely: "I'm sure."
"Okay," Yuan Yiping frowned, but he still said, "Then go sign an informed consent agreement and you can take him back temporarily."
Chi Shen smiled and said, "Thank you."
It was already late at night when Chi Shen came back from the Special Security Bureau, and he prepared to go back to the old house to sleep.
When he stepped out of the Special Security Bureau and took two steps, a dark shadow came up behind him and merged into his shadow.
Chi Shen did not review what happened tonight. For him, the money was in hand and Bai Ran paid the price, that was enough. He did not care about other things. But at this time he still asked: "Did you call the police?"
Ji Xingchen replied in the shadows: "Yes."
"I just wanted them to be held responsible for what they did, but you just want them to die." Chi Shen's voice was very relaxed, and he was not angry at all for Ji Xingchen's presumptuous behavior.
Chi Shen's shadow was silent. He seemed to be thinking about something. After a long while, the man in the shadow continued, "I think it would be faster to solve it all at once. If you don't like it..."
"No." Chi Shen interrupted him and agreed, "Well done, keep going next time."
At this time, Chi Shen had already walked to the bus stop and was waiting for the bus.
A black figure emerged from behind him, almost sticking to his back. The figure wearing glasses leaned forward slightly, observing his expression from the side. Seeing the relaxed and happy expression that was not at all false, Ji Xingchen suddenly curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled.
"good."
There were a few people standing sparsely in the station, but none of them could see the black figure behind Chi Shen. When they heard Chi Shen talking, they just thought he was wearing a Bluetooth headset and making a phone call, and no one paid attention.
The ghost face on Chi Shen's shoulder suddenly had a question at this moment: "If the Special Security Bureau didn't come, and Bai Ran was really protected by them under the name of house arrest, what would you do?"
Chi Shen smiled and said, "Maybe... he will give Lu Xiangyang a chance to kill his enemy?"
Ji Xingchen's eyes moved slightly when he looked at Chi Shen, but he didn't say anything.
"But it's also good to let him accept the punishment of the law," Chi Shen continued, "I'm not a messenger of justice. This identity doesn't suit me. People like Yuan Yiping are more suitable for this role."
"As for me..." Chi Shen looked at the colorful lights in the downtown area of Gangcheng, and smiled softly. "For the rest of my life, I just want to do a suitable job, earn enough money for retirement, and then find an 18th-tier city to retire and finally die in my own house."
They chatted for a few sentences when the bus arrived. Chi Shen took the two ghosts on the bus and slowly swayed towards the old house.
In Bai Hengqing's house, although they had just experienced such a major event as the destruction of the formation, Bai Ximing, as the patriarch of the family, did not preside over the repairs, but paced anxiously in Bai Hengqing's study.
Xu Xiuyun sat aside, crying, and the tissues she used to wipe her tears filled the entire trash can.
"Although Bai Ran is not my biological child, he is so well-behaved. I have raised him for so long, and I still have feelings for him," Xu Xiuyun cried gracefully, and her voice was still gentle. She whispered softly, "Now he has been taken away by the Special Security Bureau. Can you think of a way?"
Bai Ximing said in a low voice: "Why are you still thinking about this piece of trash at this time! If you can't get it out, don't you know what the Special Security Bureau is? Don't even think about something like Bai Ran admitted himself!"
Xu Xiuyun pulled the tissue, her gentle eyes revealed a hint of ferocity: "Then we can try another way to get him out."
Bai Ximing immediately said: "He has to stay alive now, don't think about anything else."
Xu Xiuyun wiped her tears and sighed, "There are still two years left."
After saying this, Bai Ximing looked even more annoyed. He walked around the study twice, then suddenly turned around and said, "If Bai Ran can't get out in two years, then we should find a way to get Chi Shen back. Although the time is a bit tight, let's give it a try. Maybe two years will be enough!"
Xu Xiuyun wiped her tears again: "It's a pity that twenty years of planning have been wasted. I still want to love Bai Ran for a few more years."
Bai Ximing looked at her several more times and found that she was sincerely crying for Bai Ran, and he became a little annoyed.
After a while, Bai Hengqing arrived and they met in the study to discuss what would happen tonight.
As soon as Bai Hengqing arrived, he wanted to finalize the issue of the successor. Bai Ximing had the same idea, so the two began to talk.
Although Bai Hengqing had just been choked by Chi Shen for a short time, as a bloodline theorist, he still insisted on his own opinion: "I think Chi Shen is a promising person, we have to find him back. As for his lack of identification with the Bai family, that's okay, we can teach him slowly in the future."
Bai Ximing was obviously very irritable. He said, "I also agree that someone with the blood of the Chang family should inherit, but Second Uncle, he doesn't want to come back."
Seeing Bai Ximing so decisive and easy to talk to, Bai Hengqing looked at Bai Ximing several times with a scrutinizing gaze, but he didn't see any results in the end, and only said: "He doesn't want to come back to the Bai family now. It's because of what Bai Ran did that he hates the Bai family. We need to change his mind about the Bai family and let him know what kind of life he can live when he comes back. He lived a hard life before. As long as he comes back, he can get rid of that kind of life forever. I think a poor person like him should be willing to do so."
Bai Ximing hesitated for a while after hearing this, and nodded, thinking that Bai Hengqing's words made sense. Wasn't Chi Shen going back to the Bai family for this? As for the poor, he thought he understood them best, so after a little temptation, he followed.
Xu Xiuyun thought more than Bai Ximing. After all, she had more contact with Chi Shen. She asked: "If he is not moved by the temptation of money, what should we do?"
"Then it's not up to him." Bai Hengqing smiled. "He has lived in my Bai family's old house for so long. If it's been thirty days, we can use the Bai family rules to tie him up and tell him that he will inherit the Bai family if he lives in the old house for thirty days."
At this point, Bai Ximing thought of something and asked, "Has Wenqin been contacted?"
Bai Hengqing smiled confidently, "I've contacted him. He will be back after he finishes dealing with the affairs of the imperial capital. The time... will be around the time when he completes thirty days of living in Chi Shen. By then, we can take care of the affairs of the old house at the same time."
Now, even Bai Ximing started laughing, while Xu Xiuyun wiped her tears and sighed softly beside her.
Chi Shen had just returned from the old house where the plot was committed. He said hello to his friends in the house, then washed up and prepared to rest.
Before going to bed, he found that Bai Ximing still had no intention of defaulting on the debt, so he transferred the money to his account. Chi Shen kept his own savings of more than 40,000 yuan and transferred the rest to the old lady's family.
A few minutes later, Chi Shen's phone rang. It was the old lady's family calling. They asked what happened to the money. Chi Shen didn't want them to know about the insidiousness and cunningness of the other world, so he just said that it was a donation from a kind-hearted person and asked them to accept it.
The old lady's family accepted the money with many thanks, and repeatedly asked Chi Shen whether he had kept their share of the money. Only after receiving Chi Shen's affirmative answer three times did they hang up the phone.
After finishing the call, Chi Shen looked at Ji Xingchen, who was floating beside him and seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly asked, "Why do you think the gap between people is so big?"
Ji Xingchen looked at him calmly from behind his glasses and replied, "There is diversity in living things, and so are humans."
Chi Shen was amused by his serious joke. He handed the phone to Ji Xingchen with a smile and prepared to go to bed. Before going to bed, he found that the bed was still too hard and there was a musty smell in the house that could not be cleaned up, making it uncomfortable to sleep.
Now that the savings are back in his hands, it seems he can put moving out of the old house on the agenda.
"Help me find a house. We'll move next week!" Chi Shen patted the creaking bed and said to Ji Xingchen, "Just pick the house you like. I believe in your vision. Oh, remember, you want a balcony facing south where you can get some sun."
Ji Xingchen nodded: "Okay."
Ghost Face, who was staying at the old house, couldn't help but complain: "Actually, you're just too lazy to choose, so just give it all to Glasses!"
Ji Xingchen pushed up his glasses, a murderous look flashed across the lenses, and he suggested to Chi Shen: "Tomorrow we must ask Yuan Yiping how to exorcise the ghosts."
Chi Shen lay on the bed and replied lazily: "Definitely."
