Chi Shen pulled out another little devil from Mr. Zhong's hand. This time he didn't crush the little devil to death directly, but handed it to several people.
No one answered, and they all looked at it in fear. Zhong Yi's aunt was the first to react: "Oh no, big brother!"
The other two also responded: "I'll go find my big brother. He doesn't like to use his phone."
"I'd better call my brother!"
Several people hurriedly began to notify Zhong Jingsong and asked Zhong Yi's aunt to take care of the old man here first, and ran out of the ward without stopping.
Zhong Yi and Chi Shen didn't know what happened before. They both looked at everything that happened so quickly with surprise. Perhaps because they felt that their family's attitude towards Chi Shen was not right, Zhong Yi said apologetically, "Grandpa must have had some problems before, so the uncles... weren't very nice. Sorry, I should have told them in advance."
Chi Shen didn't care about these things. He was more concerned about the little ghost in his hand. He asked curiously, "Is this how you, the Zhong family, treat your elders?"
"We didn't do this. We..." Zhong Yi's aunt had a worried look on her face. She paused and continued, "Someone came to see him before. We all thought that the old man would get better, but we didn't expect that he would use this method."
Chi Shen shook the little ghost in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face as he looked at the screaming little ghost.
At this time, Zhong Yi's aunt saw Chi Shen's smile and felt that he was happy because he saw a ghost. She had also seen Chi Shen catching ghosts like playing with them before, and the action was like he had caught a toy.
Zhong Yi's aunt looked at Zhong Yi again, as if she wanted to ask something, but in the end she didn't ask. She just sat quietly a little further away from the pool.
Then, she was very glad that she sat a little further away, because she clearly saw the shadow behind Chi Shen slowly condense into shape, and a handsome man in a suit with a cold expression walked out. He pushed his glasses and asked, "You can see me, why can't you spot these two ghosts?"
Now even Zhong Yi was silent. When he first came in, he indeed did not notice the two ghosts on his grandfather's body, but he also did not notice Ji Xingchen living in Chi Shen's shadow.
Several elders of the Zhong family noticed Ji Xingchen first, but they did not realize the trick on the old man. How could they think about it? It was strange.
Zhong Yi's aunt hesitated and said, "The old man doesn't look like a ghost at all."
Chi Shen nodded beside him: "Indeed, he looks normal, just like an ordinary vegetative person."
Zhong Yi's aunt was silent for a moment. She seemed to want to say something to refute Chi Shen, but she chose to give up and continued, "We have been waiting outside the ward. When that person came in, we didn't notice anything wrong."
"Is there a possibility?" Chi Shen said, "I mean, maybe you can't feel this kind of ghost."
Chi Shen handed the little ghost in his hand over again.
Zhong Yi's aunt hesitated for a moment, but still reached out her hand and touched the little ghost. Then she said strangely, "I can't feel the Yin energy."
Zhong Yi also added: "I can't feel it either."
Ji Xingchen didn't give them any face at all and said bluntly: "You have been studied thoroughly."
This was too much of a businessman's words. Zhong Yi's aunt didn't look too happy, but she still said, "Thank you so much this time... But how did you find these two ghosts?"
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him for the time being, Chi Shen happily put the remaining ghost into his bag and physically shut the ghost up. At this moment, he happily answered Zhong Yi's question: "The perspectives of humans and ghosts are different. They use some means to deceive people's senses, so you can't see it--"
Ji Xingchen interrupted Chi Shen calmly: "I reminded Chi Shen that from my perspective, I can see these two ghosts."
Chi Shen smiled and glanced at Ji Xingchen. Ji Xingchen's expression did not change and he continued, "I have said what I need to say."
Then, he disappeared again into the deep shadow of the pool.
Zhong Yi's aunt quickly figured out the connection. She murmured, "This is specially prepared to deceive us."
After saying that, she turned to look at Chi Shen again, and seeing that Ji Xingchen was gone, she asked anxiously, “Then, your ghost friend, can you tell what’s wrong with our old man?”
"Well..." Chi Shen turned his head and looked at the bed, "I suggest you check the old man's heart carefully. It's normal for him to have coronary heart disease when he's old."
While they were talking, another sound came from the hospital corridor.
As an inpatient building and a special ward, it is usually quiet here, so the sounds can be heard clearly.
"I'm sorry to trouble Brother Bai this time. It's just a matter concerning our family's classics. I still need to go back and discuss it with the elders. We alone cannot make the decision." said a more steady voice.
"I'm not in a hurry, but I don't know how long the old man can hold on. You'd better make arrangements quickly." said another voice.
Hearing this, Zhong Yi's aunt was already angry, and explained to Chi Shen: "Sorry, I have to go out to take care of some things."
The other voice was Bai Ximing's. Zhong Yi immediately looked at Chi Shen and quickly explained, "I know there is a conflict between you two. I wanted to bring you here at a different time, but I didn't expect him to come today."
Chi Shen saw Zhong Yi's nervous expression and thought that he was too serious. He laughed and said, "I really don't like my biological father, but you don't have to avoid him. I just don't like him, not that I don't want to see him. On the contrary, I am looking forward to my biological father's expression now."
As he spoke, Chi Shen walked to the door of the ward and reached out to open it.
Outside the corridor, Zhong Yi's aunt was saying something. Bai Ximing's face was not looking good. He explained in a tough tone: "This is some secret technique of our Bai family. You can't feel the Yin energy because I have used the Bai family secret technique to deal with those ghosts. They will not cause any harm to people. I have already used the Bai family secret technique, but you still doubt me. Then go find someone else!"
After saying this, he turned around and seemed to want to leave immediately.
"Dad," Chi Shen's voice suddenly rang out in the hospital corridor, with a smile on his face, "What a coincidence, you're in the hospital too."
Bai Ximing was obviously shocked when he heard Chi Shen's voice. He immediately straightened his expression, turned to look at Chi Shen, and said with a smile: "Xiao Shen, why are you here too?"
Zhong Jingsong was already beside him and asked, "Brother Bai, what's going on?"
Just now, Zhong Yi's aunt rushed out to question him, and Zhong Jingsong on the side also understood the whole story. It might be because this was the life-saving straw he begged for in the imperial capital, or it might be because he thought that a big family like the Bai family was trustworthy. When he heard the truth at this moment, he still couldn't believe it, and was shocked and asked Bai Ximing again.
Bai Ximing ignored him and looked at Chi Shen: "Are you satisfied with the gift I gave you a few days ago? I have a lot of them. Do you want to take a look?"
"Okay." Chi Shen agreed happily.
Hearing this, Bai Ximing breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and said, "Then I won't delay today. I'll leave first."
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.
"But Dad, you left something here."
Chi Shen stretched out his hand from his pocket, holding a little ghost in his hand.
When Bai Ximing saw the little ghost, his expression changed, but he quickly recovered and said with a dry laugh: "Xiao Shen, this is not mine, you made a mistake."
"Oh, really?" Chi Shen let go of his hand.
The little ghost fell lightly from Chi Shen's hand. As soon as it landed, it quickly rushed towards Bai Ximing, hugged Bai Ximing's thigh, and cried aggrievedly.
Everyone present looked at the little devil and then at Bai Ximing.
Although Zhong Yi didn't know what was going on, he felt that he needed to do something at this time.
——For example, fulfilling his duties as a special security police officer.
So Zhong Yi took out the special handcuffs and walked up to Bai Ximing: "You are suspected of raising a ghost, please come with me."
Bai Ximing obviously didn't want to cooperate, but Zhong Yi had seen this kind of thing many times, so he read out the consequences of not cooperating, and with the help of his elders, he finally took Bai Ximing away.
But when he left, Bai Ximing gave Chi Shen a meaningful look.
Chi Shen watched him leave with a smile.
After they walked away in the hospital corridor, Chi Shen returned to Mr. Zhong's ward. He stood in front of Mr. Zhong's bed for a moment and suddenly asked, "How long do you think he will stay in there this time?"
Ji Xingchen's voice came from the shadows: "It won't be long."
"It will indeed take some time," Chi Shen said, "Although I don't quite understand the various rules, but judging from what Yuan Yiping said, this is going to be a very troublesome matter."
As he spoke, Chi Shen reached out and touched Mr. Zhong's body, and pulled out a brown thread from the top of Mr. Zhong's head.
The thread was like a living thing, twisting and struggling when it was pulled. At the same time, Mr. Zhong's body began to twitch. When it was completely pulled out, the thread suddenly lost its life and became not much different from an ordinary sewing thread. Mr. Zhong's body also stopped twitching and returned to its previous gray appearance.
"It's a pretty interesting little thing," Chi Shen put away the brown thread and walked out slowly, "The rest is up to them."
The people from the Zhong family did not leave for long. After all, their old man was still here. In less than a minute, Zhong Yi's aunt came back. Not long after, the two elders who went to find Zhong Jingsong also came back. The three of them found that the ward was empty.
"Zhong Yi's friend just left like that?" asked an elder of the Zhong family.
Zhong Yi's sister-in-law said, "Just leave without even saying hello to us."
"What about Dad?"
Zhong Yi's aunt thought about it for a while and remembered: "He said before that he wanted to check Dad's heart carefully."
One person was a little anxious. He was deceived by Bai Ximing. The old man's condition seemed to be getting worse and worse. He said, "Hasn't this examination been done before? There is nothing wrong with Dad's health!"
"Let's check it again, just in case... maybe?"
The few of them looked at each other, asked for the opinion of their eldest brother who had just returned, and sent Mr. Zhong to continue.
At this time, Chi Shen had already arrived at the entrance of the hospital's subway station, using his mobile phone to check how to take the subway back.
Zhong Yi definitely didn't have time to send him off, so he walked around the hospital garden, preparing to collect materials for the garden decoration and go back to decorate his own small terrace. When he came out, he saw the Special Security Bureau's car parked in front of the hospital. They looked quite busy, so Chi Shen didn't go to disturb them.
"Don't you want to be thanked by them?" Ji Xingchen's voice appeared in the shadow, as if ringing in Chi Shen's ears.
Chi Shen raised his hand and subconsciously touched his ear. He felt his ear was a little itchy. He replied, "It will definitely be very troublesome. There are too many elders. It will take a long time to call them one by one. I'd better go first. I came here just to thank Zhong Yi for driving us to Gangcheng No. 11 Middle School and to help out."
Ji Xingchen didn't say anything else.
Instead, Chi Shen smiled and said, "Is there anything you want to eat? Let's go eat something delicious later."
