Chapter Twenty Investigation

  Xiao Yan looked out the window in horror at the white figure that floated forever, 'she' had a strange smile and a resentful gaze staring straight at Xiao Yan, her ferocious and terrifying face made Xiao Yan's heart throb.

  Xiao Yan didn't blink, but the figure suddenly flashed and disappeared again, as if it had never appeared on that quiet corridor. Only the eerie smile and resentful eyes were left, etched in Xiao Yan's mind.

  Xiao Yan swore that she didn't blink, but still couldn't see how 'she' disappeared in front of her eyes, as if moving instantly, without leaving any trace.

  It took Xiaoyan a while to regain her composure, staring blankly at her textbook as she adjusted her breathing in an attempt to calm herself down.

  Ye Chen, who had been staring at Xiao Yan, of course saw her expression clearly and looked out the window at the empty corridor, becoming even more puzzled. As a materialist, he didn't believe in any "ghost" stories. But how could Xiao Yan's strange behavior be explained? Ye Chen realized that things weren't so simple and couldn't just sit back and do nothing. He was worried about Xiao Yan, if she continued like this, what would happen.

  No matter who is manipulating everything behind the scenes, Ye Chen will dig 'her' out and show no mercy. He absolutely won't allow anyone to hurt even a single hair on Xiaoyan's head.

  After school, Ye Chen sent Xiao Yan home as usual, but instead of going home himself, he entered a bar.

  The dim blue tone inside the bar matches its name "Blues" perfectly. Upon entering, instead of loud DJ music, elegant Western classical songs are playing. There aren't many people, all chatting and sipping wine in comfort. Unlike ordinary bars' noise and excitement, it's uniquely serene and elegant, attracting a group of people who prefer quietness.

  Ye Chen walked into the bar and his eyes kept shifting, as if he was looking for someone. Suddenly, he locked onto a figure and smiled as he walked towards him.

  Ye Chen sat down in a swivel chair next to the bar and asked the waiter for a special cocktail.

  "Master Ye Da Shao, why did you suddenly think of looking for me today?" A man in a black shirt next to Ye Chen said, under the blue light, his serious face showed a hint of playfulness, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, exuding an air of evil charm.

  "Now that you've said this, are you not allowing me to look for you and reminisce about old times?" Ye Chen quietly sipped the wine in his hand, smiling as he slowly swirled the cup.

  "You're really something. No one enters the Three Treasures Hall for no reason, and you think we don't understand each other?" The man sneered and joked.

  "Hey, Hyun-ah oppa, can't you just give me some face and let it go? Don't say anything if you see something," Yoochun said, putting down the wine cup in his hand.

  Zhang Xianhao is Ye Chen's childhood playmate, and their relationship has remained good even after five years. To Ye Chen, Zhang Xianhao is both a friend and an older brother figure. This year, Zhang Xianhao graduated from police academy with excellent grades and joined the criminal investigation team as a detective.

  "Stop beating around the bush and tell me, what do you need my help with?"

  "I've mentioned Xiaoyan to you before, recently she's been acting strangely, saying that she 'bumped into a ghost'. I also asked her mother about it, and the situation is indeed strange. Do you think this matter is related to ghosts or humans?" Ye Chen said directly without beating around the bush.

  Xian Huang sneered with a slight smile, "Whether it's human or ghost, can't you just investigate and find out?"

  Ye Chen's face lit up with delight

  "What else can make you fall over a policeman? By saying so, I take it that you have agreed?"

  "We need to investigate this privately, don't alarm the snake by hitting the grass. Tell me about the details of what happened." Xianhuan's serious face returned as if he was handling a case again.

  Ye Chen told Xianhuan all about what had happened and what he knew and heard, afraid of missing any useful details.

  The two of them chatted for a long time at the bar, and finally Xianhuan promised 'Don't worry, I've got it covered.' Only then did Yechen feel at ease leaving.

  As night deepens, it's hard to say whether it's human or ghost, perhaps it's not that simple.
