Tian Ling was eventually placed in a safe place.
When she woke up, she was terrified to see the unfamiliar place.
Lu Jing heard the noise and came to see her.
"Master Lu." Tian Ling was even more panicked when she saw Lu Jing: "Have you been arrested too?"
Lu Jing: “…”
Is he so bad that he deserves to be arrested?
Lu Jing was very sure that if Jiang Chunian were here, she would definitely not say such a thing.
Lu Jingdao: "This is the ninth department, it's very safe, don't worry."
Tian Ling came to her senses and said, "I wasn't arrested? But two people clearly took me away. I wanted to call for help, but they knocked me unconscious, so I couldn't even shout."
"Yes." Lu Jing said: "Miss Jiang saved you."
"So it was Master Jiang who saved me?" Tian Ling breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank her so much. Is she here now?"
"She has other things to deal with and will come over later." Lu Jing asked; "Do you feel unwell?"
Tian Ling felt it and shook her head: "No."
He then looked at Lu Jing and asked, "Did those people come here specifically to arrest me? Who are they? Why did they arrest me?"
"Because you're pregnant with a ghost," Lu Jing told her. "It's difficult for ghosts to conceive and give birth to children when they're with humans. On the contrary, humans become infected with ghost energy due to close contact with ghosts, which gradually erodes their yang energy and entangles them with yin energy, causing them to become weak and sickly, and eventually die. But you signed an agreement with the Hell Brothel, so you didn't become infected with ghost energy and even became pregnant with a ghost baby. This shows that your physique is very special. The people in the Hell Brothel not only want you to give birth to this ghost baby, but also want to study and use your physique to give birth to more ghost babies, so they're trying every possible way to capture you."
Tian Ling was terrified: "What should I do? Will you protect me?"
"Of course. We sent you here because this is the Ninth Department, a place dedicated to dealing with metaphysical events. There are powerful formations set up here, and there are Taoist priests with profound Taoism. It is impossible for them to break in and take you away, so you can stay here with peace of mind." Lu Jing comforted her.
"Okay." Tian Ling breathed a sigh of relief, then thought, "Oh, by the way, what did you just say about the brothel in hell? Are there brothels in hell?"
Lu Jing was also unclear: "We are still investigating this matter."
"So, was I sold to a brothel in hell, just like in the novel, and that's why I became a ghost prostitute?"
"Yes." Lu Jing asked again: "Do you remember who asked you to sign the agreement?"
Tian Ling smiled bitterly: "I really don't remember it."
"Have you signed any agreement? Have you not even put your fingerprints on it?" Lu Jing asked.
"Yes, no agreement has been signed and no fingerprints have been pressed." Tian Ling answered with certainty.
"This is impossible." Lu Jing felt very strange.
"Could there be a mistake?" Tian Ling asked.
"No." Lu Jing guided: "Think about it again, did you encounter any strange things three months ago? For example, when you were with friends or family, you suddenly fell asleep, or you got drunk and couldn't remember anything?"
This reminder made Tian Ling remember: "Now that you mention it, there really was such an incident."
"What's going on?" Lu Jing suddenly became alert.
"That was three months ago. One night our company went on a team-building trip, and we got back quite late. I was supposed to take a colleague's car back, because I had taken the same car when I left, but he wanted to take other colleagues, so there was no seat for me. In the end, I had to take our boss's car back."
"Were you the only one who came back in your boss's car?" Lu Jing asked.
"Not really. There was another colleague. He politely let me sit in the passenger seat while he sat in the back. Because his home was closer, our boss sent him home first and then sent me."
"Our boss is actually a very humorous person. He usually chats and laughs with his subordinates in the company. But maybe because I am a bit reserved, I didn't dare to talk to him. I was sitting in the passenger seat and it was super awkward. But luckily, another colleague of ours is more cheerful. He handled the entertainment for the boss by himself, so I didn't need to say anything. So I leaned against the car window and fell asleep without knowing when. When I woke up, my colleague had already gotten out of the car. The boss didn't know where I lived, so he woke me up."
Tian Ling: "I felt very embarrassed at the time, but looking back now, it seems like everything was wrong."
"Oh right." Tian Ling recalled, "I vaguely remember that when I got home, I noticed that my right thumb was unnaturally red while I was washing up. I was so sleepy at the time that I didn't think much about it and just washed up and went to bed. The next morning, I saw it and couldn't remember how it got there. Now I think about it, could it be that our boss set me up?"
Lu Jing frowned. "Your boss? To sign this kind of contract, you have to know the other party's birth date. Does your boss know yours?"
"Of course I can't know that." Tian Ling rejected the idea without a second thought. "I'm just going there to work, not for a blind date. Why would I tell the other person my birth date and time?"
If that's the case, then he's not her boss?
"Who could it be?" Tian Ling couldn't figure it out. "Apart from this time being a little strange, I really can't remember what else is wrong."
But Lu Jing felt that the matter might really be related to Tian Ling's boss.
As for the birth date, if one is interested and Tian Ling is not on guard, it should be possible to find out.
Anyway, this is also a direction.
"We will investigate these matters. You don't have to worry. Just wait for the results. If you remember anything, tell us." Lu Jingdao.
"Yeah." Tian Ling was silent for a moment: "I——"
"Do you have anything else to say?" Lu Jing asked.
"I don't want my parents to know about my situation, okay?" Tian Ling asked.
She has completely given up hope on her husband, but her parents don't know about this yet and she doesn't want them to know.
Lu Jing's phone rang. He answered it, then hung up and said to Tian Ling, "I'm afraid it's too late. Your parents have gone to the hospital to look for you. The hospital gave your parents my phone number. I asked them to wait there. I'll send someone to pick them up shortly."
"You may not want to see them right now, but I think it's best for you to have family around to take care of you in your current mental and physical state. This will also protect your parents."
Tian Ling had nothing to say: "Okay then."
"Then you should have a good rest. Your parents will be here soon."
