Chapter Twenty Who's Taking Care of Chubby

  Based on Xiao Hua's theory, no matter who has had an abortion, they will feel uneasy and worry about being avenged by the vengeful spirit. What's more, Hou Guanjun witnessed terrifying scenes tonight that others can't experience in their lifetime, so it's natural for him to have a heavy heart.

  Xiao Huan then carefully explained that this kind of thing is not something everyone will encounter. According to him, reincarnation does exist, but the souls who are able to be reborn have mostly forgotten their past experiences and do not harbor resentment.

  Nothing is absolute, and it's possible that some special circumstances will occur, causing certain reincarnated souls to still harbor attachments. If such a situation arises, it will definitely erupt.

  We can't judge whether his words are right or wrong, but in this regard, he is obviously more authoritative than any of us. After some persuasion, Hou Guanjun's emotions stabilized a lot.

  "Go back and take good care of your girlfriend. There's a saying in the folk that both big and small postpartum periods will hurt one's vitality, it's not an absurd talk. The probability of you encountering a vengeful spirit is very low, but she's extremely weak now, her vitality greatly injured, it's highly possible that she'll encounter other filthy things." Xiao Huan said seriously.

  Hou Guanjun nodded repeatedly, again and again expressing that he would take good care of his girlfriend when he got back. Ma Zhiguo told us that Hou Guanjun was actually a pretty good guy, and he had a very good relationship with his girlfriend.

  But because they couldn't afford a house, the mother-in-law was hard to get past, so even if she got pregnant, she could only be forced to have an abortion. In this day and age, it's not just that uncooked rice can't become cooked rice, even if you explode into popcorn, without a house, there's no way to bring back a beautiful woman.

  I was lamenting the high housing prices and the heartlessness of mothers-in-law, while Xiao Huan was sighing that many things in this world are just or unjust, worth questioning. Even if Hou Guanjun and his girlfriend's decision to have an abortion was a helpless move, it also hurt heaven and earth.

  I have nothing in common with Xiao Huan, we can't talk at all, and after a few words, we start arguing again. If it weren't for Ma Zhi Guo and Hou Guan Jun's mediation, I'm afraid we would fight again.

  After returning to the police station, it was already daylight. They casually asked me a few questions and let me go home to rest. It's not that they were derelict in their duty or didn't take the case seriously, but this matter can't be discussed in detail. The report submitted upwards could only use the Spring and Autumn Annals writing style to gloss over it.

  As I came out of the interrogation room, I happened to see Ma Zhiguo hand a thick cowhide envelope to Xiao Huan. Xiao Huan didn't open it to look, but instead weighed it in his hand and revealed a satisfied smile, then casually stuffed the envelope into his own pocket.

  "What's going on?" I muttered curiously.

  The police officer who was interrogating me said in a low voice, "Don't make it public, we asked Mr. Xiao for help and spent a lot of money, 10,000 yuan per day. This is still the friendship price given by our acquaintance."

  Damn it, Xiao Huan and Ren Binghua are a perfect match, both greedy for money. Within two days, Xiao Huan came to the police station at most three or four times and actually took away 20,000 yuan.

  So what's the point of my hard work, this case is solved, I should have some credit for it? Even if I don't have any credit, at least I deserve some sympathy for diving into the river to retrieve the corpse!

  "No way, Ma Shuo is right, you can't be thick-skinned and thin-skinned at the same time! Xiao Huan took 200,000, I don't want more, 100,000 is enough, after all it's public funds." I rushed up and shouted.

  Ma Zhiguo glared at me: "Master Xiao is here to help us solve the problem, and this problem was brought about by you. I'm already being very generous by not asking you for money, do you still have the face to ask me for it?"

  One sentence made me red-eyed and thick-necked, thinking carefully, it's really this reason. But I still have a lingering grievance, which time wasn't I the most miserable? Why did Xiao Huan get so much money, while I couldn't even see a single hair?

  Xiao Huan looked at me expressionlessly, rummaged through his pocket for a long time, and pulled out a wad of cash: "Alright, don't say I'm not taking care of you. Here's 1,000 yuan, consider it a donation to a child in need."

  Damn it, as soon as I heard this, I immediately got angry. Isn't this just throwing money in my face? And a thousand yuan, is that enough to get rid of a beggar? If he has the guts to give me 20,000 yuan, I have the guts to take it!

  Just as we were about to fight again, Ma Zhiguo gave a signal to the other police officers and had me thrown out of the police station, under the pretext that he didn't want to see me get hurt.

  I'm so angry that I just got into a fight with Xiao Huan, after being kicked out, I squatted at the corner of the police station entrance, waiting for Xiao Huan to come out. The saying "a gentleman takes revenge ten years later" is useless to me, my principle is to take revenge on the spot.

  After waiting for a few minutes, Xiao Hua finally came out, and there was no one following him. This is a good opportunity to hit the dumb stick, I have been thinking about it for a long time, using bricks at the police station door is too exaggerated, or use fists instead.

  "Who knows, before Xiao Huan got close, he said faintly: 'Don't hide anymore, come out, this thousand yuan is for you to take, not for you, but for your companion's medical treatment.'"

  He casually threw it, and the money really floated down to my feet. I picked it up, but I didn't pick it up either.

  No, I'm really out of money now. Wang Kun has at most a few hundred yuan in his pocket, which is not enough to see a doctor. But taking this money is too embarrassing, I'd rather beat Xiao Huan up and snatch the money from him.

  It's been discovered, the sneak attack is useless. I didn't even look at the money on the ground and walked out. Of course, I was also worried that he would take advantage of me when I bent down to pick up the money to launch a sneak attack on me.

  "Xiao Huang, what do you mean? Don't be so insulting! Why are you always picking on me?" I clenched my fists, ready to rush over and punch him at any moment.

  Xiao Huan sneered coldly: "Can't get along with you? I'm not even worthy of that. Wu Tian, I advise you to go home and learn some real skills, otherwise you won't even know how to die. I won't lay a hand on you, but be careful yourself, being haunted by a hundred ghosts is no joke."

  I furrowed my brow, his words were the same as Ren Binghua's, both saying that I was destined to be haunted by a hundred ghosts. But for over twenty years, I've been living well, without even seeing a ghost hair, if it wasn't for running into Ren Binghua, how could I possibly encounter a ghost?

  "What are you trying to fool? Bullshit about being haunted by a hundred ghosts, none of your nonsense can be trusted. Ren Binghua also said that as long as I'm a virgin, I wouldn't encounter any ghosts, but didn't I almost get killed by one? Stop spouting this superstitious crap in front of me."

  Xiao Huan chuckled and shook his head: "Ghosts can't be fooled, although your yuan yang hasn't broken, but the vengeful spirit has already destroyed the protective talisman on your body. Now you, in the eyes of ghosts, are like a lantern in the dark night. Don't think that just because the vengeful spirit is subdued, you're safe."

  I don't want to be fooled by him, but this sentence still makes me feel uneasy in my heart. I want to refute him, but I don't know how to start speaking.

  "To be honest, this matter was caused by my junior sister. Otherwise, do you think I would have let you off so easily? You'd better go home early, since your family's elders had the ability to set up a protective charm in your body, allowing you to pass through these twenty years safely, they will certainly be able to protect you completely."

  After finishing this sentence, Xiao Hua turned and left, but I felt like I had eaten a mind-numbing drug, my brain buzzing, standing stupidly in place.

  After he left, I finally reacted, damn it, and was fooled by this kid again. He must have used some trick on me just now, making me so out of state.

  A thousand dollars on the ground, Xiao Huan didn't take it away. I have a grudge against Xiao Huan, but not against money. Wang Kun is still pointing to this money to save his life, so I picked up the money without hesitation and rushed to the hospital.

  Mentioning money, I suddenly remembered that when I lured Xiao Lan to the riverbank before, I also gave her 500 yuan. Originally, I was thinking of getting the money back after Ren Binghua dealt with the vengeful spirit, but now it's probably impossible to get it back.

  The more I think about it, the stranger it gets. Xiao Lan has been missing since that night. Yesterday, Ma Zhiguo even sent someone to look for Xiao Lan, she's also an important witness, but even the police can't find any trace of her.

  "What happened to Xiaolan after all? Was she also harmed by the vengeful spirit? But if that's the case, Xiao Huan would definitely know about it, and he hasn't mentioned anything about Xiaolan." I muttered to myself.

  Just now I completely forgot about this, actually I should ask Xiao Hua about it. We're almost at the hospital, and I didn't have the heart to think that much, I'll go back and ask Ma Zhi Guo about it later.

  Who would have thought that as soon as I walked into the hospital, I saw Xiao Lan! To be exact, I saw a figure that looked very much like Xiao Lan's from behind, walking less than ten meters in front of me.

  I just thought the girl in front had a similar figure and gait to Xiaolan, but I wasn't quite sure, so I hurriedly ran a few steps forward and tentatively called out: "Xiaolan, is that you?"

  If it's really Xiao Lan, then her dressing has become much more subdued. She is wearing a red dress and looks no different from an ordinary girl. I guess they only dress that sexily when they are "working".

  The girl in front didn't respond to me, suddenly turned a corner and turned into the stairwell. I chased after her, but found that she had disappeared again, and couldn't find her after searching around.

  "Wrong person?" I rubbed my eyes.

  It's also possible that I was up all night again and felt a bit dizzy, which is normal. I didn't pay much attention to it and continued on my way to Wang Kun's hospital room.

  After arriving at the ward, I was stunned to see Ren Binghua standing guard in front of Wang Kun's bed. I remembered that her body wasn't fully recovered yet, and this matter had caused me no small amount of trouble from Xiao Huan.

  Isn't she taking a liking to fatty? This idea had just emerged when it was immediately vetoed by myself.

  "Wu Tian, you must quickly let Pangzi leave you, otherwise he will be implicated by you and die unjustly." Ren Binghua's first sentence to me left me stunned.

  "Isn't the vengeful spirit already under Xiao Huan's control? Don't stir up trouble between us, if it wasn't for you, we'd be finished!"

  I furrowed my brow. I had some guilt towards her, but she always managed to successfully provoke my disgust. How could she say such divisive words?

  Ren Binghua snorted coldly and patted Wang Kun, who was still fast asleep: "Let him say it himself. Fatty, who took care of you last night?"

  Wang Kun woke up, rubbing his eyes: "What's going on? It's Xiaolan, Wu Tian asked her to come and take care of me. Wu Tian, you're still the best, she didn't even try out other options before settling for you."
