Chapter Eighteen Trouble

  Cao Sen encountered something that was neither troublesome nor untroublesome.

  Since that night when the fierce ghost appeared, the timid female ghost Jing Zhe has not dared to stay alone in the teaching building. As soon as it gets dark, she follows Cao Sen wherever he goes. Except for Cao Sen's trips to the toilet and bath, Jing Zhe and Cao Sen are inseparable, like Cao Sen's second shadow.

  Cao Sen was helpless about this, he really couldn't drive away the female ghost who had saved his brothers, and Cao Sen also sympathized with Jing Zhe's experience. She had been living alone in the teaching building for decades, and the only person she could talk to was an old man, without even a friend. Therefore, he tacitly allowed Jing Zhe's existence. When there were no outsiders, Cao Sen would occasionally chat with Jing Zhe and tell jokes to make her happy.

  This made Ding Haitao and the others exclaim in surprise, they had been together since wearing open-crotch pants, and had never seen Cao Sen being so good to any girl before. The three brothers unanimously determined that Cao Sen was abnormal, disliking lively and beautiful real women, but instead liking ghostly spirits that could only be looked at but not touched.

  Cao Sen has always been doing his own thing, not caring about the comments of his brothers. Every day, apart from practicing his special abilities and dealing with necessary graduate coursework, he would go to Sima De's place to practice shooting, especially after getting the Desert Eagle from Liu Sanmazi. Cao Sen went to shoot more often, as this gun had a different structure than ordinary handguns, requiring more practice to master. With the remaining time, he would sneak back home to see his parents and tease the female ghost who blushed easily before going to sleep, making life quite comfortable.

  There were two major hidden dangers in his heart, one was those four killers and the other was that fierce ghost.

  Because Guo Jing and Ding Haitao's investigation of Zhu Jianjun had not made any progress, Cao Sen endured it silently without making a move, superficially getting along with Zhu Jianjun as if nothing was wrong. Zhu Jianjun was already a teacher in the teaching affairs office of Dongda University, working diligently and selflessly, earning praise from everyone above and below. Whenever he ran into Cao Sen in his daily life, he was extremely enthusiastic, addressing him warmly as "En Sheng" or "Sen Ge", giving no indication that anything was amiss. Outsiders who didn't know the inside story would think they were a pair of sworn brothers who had been through thick and thin together.

  Cao Sen was able to hold back, but Guo Jing and Ding Haitao didn't have such a good temper. They promised Cao Sen not to touch Zhu Jianjun, but they didn't say they wouldn't do anything else. The two brothers either took action themselves or instructed others, and successively smashed three cars of Zhu Jianjun's, smashing them very thoroughly, directly disassembling them into the smallest unit parts. If it wasn't for Cao Sen discovering and stopping them, Zhu Jianjun wouldn't be able to drive a car again in the future.

  Cao Sen and the other brothers who played special forces more or less knew about this matter, they were all furious. This was unbearable, we brothers didn't bully people, it was enough to have meaning, how could someone ride on our heads? So they also secretly updated their own equipment. As a result, Liu San Ma Zi's business in She Ren Town has been surprisingly good recently. Ma Zi looked at his inventory selling out and even sold four Desert Eagles at high prices, feeling joyful but also secretly frightened. A big case was going to happen in Nanquan City, he had already made preparations to run away, and as soon as there was any wind or movement, he would immediately flee.

  As for that fierce ghost, Cao Sen was not afraid of him. Even if he met him alone one day, Cao Sen had the confidence to escape safely. Cao Sen always believed that people should not be afraid of ghosts. As long as they saw through the ghosts' intimidating tricks, what could they do to humans? Not only was Cao Sen not afraid, but he also looked forward to meeting the fierce ghost again. He wanted to know from the ghost whether it was him who had been causing trouble in the teaching building and whether he had transformed into old man Sun Derong's appearance.

  The fierce ghost seemed to have been scared off by the Cao Sen brothers and never appeared again. Even if Cao Sen went out of his way to look for him, he couldn't find him. This was similar to when they first met Jing Zhe, perhaps these ghosts liked to play tricks on people by suddenly appearing and disappearing.

  Cao Sen didn't know that another trouble was waiting for him, this trouble posed no danger to him, just a nuisance, or perhaps not a nuisance but a good thing. The mastermind behind the matter was a girl named Wu Fang.

  After graduating, Wu Fang was unable to stay in Nanquan City and was taken back home by her family. She entered a multinational company to work, and due to the influence of Wu Fang's family in the local area, she got a very easy job at the company. As time passed, the girl felt bored and missed her university life, especially the experience of encountering ghosts in the teaching building, which was both thrilling and fun. There was also Cao Sen, who made her heart beat faster whenever she thought of him. So Wu Fang had a big fight with her family, going on hunger strike and attempting to hang herself, forcing her parents to agree to let her quit her job and work in Nanquan City.

  Arriving in Nanquan City, Wu Fang first went to her cousin Yang Xiang and moved into her cousin's house with a grand ceremony. She drove Sima De to the guest room with a grand ceremony, and at night she shared a bed with her cousin and poured out her troubles to her sister.

  "Sister, what should I do?" Wu Fang hugged Yang Xiang and rubbed her face against her cousin's chest, acting coquettishly.

  Yang Xiang smiled and looked at her cousin, "Little girl, you've taken a liking to that cold Cao Sen, haven't you?"

  "Yes, but he always has a stinky face on him, as if everyone owes him money." Wu Fang pouted her mouth and vented all the grievances she had suffered from Cao Sen.

  "Sister, you don't know how despicable he is, male chauvinist, unreasonable, arrogant, self-righteous, tyrannical... and... and..." Wu Fang rummaged through her mind to find derogatory terms for Cao Sen.

  "And besides, he ignored you on purpose, and that alone is enough to sentence him to death, isn't it?" Yang Xin said with a smile.

  "That's right!" Wu Fang nodded vigorously.

  "With so many shortcomings of his, why do you like him?"

  "Alas!" Wu Fang sighed with a hint of pride, "I'm just the kind of silly woman who falls in love, as often described in books."

  Yang Xiang burst out laughing, "Still a silly woman, when did you become a woman? Who turned you from a girl into a woman?"

  "Hmph, I thought of giving Cao Sen this opportunity, but unfortunately he doesn't care!" Wu Fang said calmly.

  Yang Xiang was shocked, this younger cousin is only two years younger than herself, and yet she talks about sex without any reserve, whereas two years ago Yang Xiang wouldn't have dared to speak so openly about such things. Is it really just because of the two-year age gap that we've become people from different generations?

  "Sister, you have a lot of experience, give me some advice, what should I do?" Wu Fang's head was again rubbing against Yang Xin's body.

  "Alright, alright, stop being so troublesome, you're as annoying as your brother-in-law." By the time Yang Qin said this, her face had turned red, fortunately Wu Fang was too caught up in her own emotional world to notice the issue with what she said.

  "Let me tell you, girl, I've only met Cao Sen once, but I already understand his character."

  "Come on, say it!"

  "He is full of masculine energy, he values relationships and has a strong sense of responsibility; He does things with skill and attention to detail, being both meticulous and bold; Especially, he has a kind of domineering air that modern men often lack, this domineering air is not pretentious, but comes from the heart, from the bones, Ah, such a man is hard to find even with a lantern."

  "Exactly! I just like these things about him. Sister, quickly tell me how to get him?" Wu Fang's eyes shone brightly.

  "Heh heh, listen to me," Yang Xiang said thoughtfully. "However, Fangfang, I want to remind you that Cao Sen's personality might develop into someone who is only suitable as a friend and not as a husband. If he becomes like this, marrying him will bring a lot of suffering and grievances."

  "I'll get married, I don't care!" Wu Fang shouted.

  Yang Xiang smiled wryly, but it was too late. Her sister had already fallen deeply in love with her own fantasy. At this point, no matter what Yang Xiang said, she wouldn't listen. In fact, based on Yang Xiang's observations and thoughts, the boy named Teng Fei was a more suitable match for her sister. Cao Sen's personality was too outstanding and excellent, and many outstanding girls would like him. Even if her sister got Cao Sen's love, she would be exhausted by the long pursuit process, and the final result might not necessarily be happy. What's the point of that?

  Yang Xiang sighed, her little sister had always been a spoiled princess since she was young, so it wouldn't be a bad thing if she suffered a bit at Cao Sen's hands. Maybe the two of them could change each other. The clever Yang Xiang knew that if any girl could capture Cao Sen's heart and make him surrender, that girl would become the happiest bride in the world. She hoped her little sister could have this good fortune.

  "Sister, say something?" Wu Fang interrupted Yang Xin's thoughts.

  "Fang Fang, sister has some advice for you, you must listen."

  "Uh-huh, I'm listening, go ahead and say it."

  "Firstly, you shouldn't cater to Cao Sen's every whim; he doesn't want a maid who is overly obedient."

  "Secondly, don't change yourself just because Cao Sen doesn't like girls who cry or throw tantrums; insist on being yourself."

  "Third, and most importantly, don't let Cao Sen feel your emotions for him yet, otherwise, girl, you'll scare him off."

  Yang Xiang said one sentence, Wu Fang nodded vigorously once. She said three sentences, and her head went up and down three times. When she heard the last sentence, she first nodded and then shook her head, "I don't understand, sister. If I don't let him know that I like him, how can he like me?"

  "Silly girl, a guy like Cao Sen, if he wanted to have a girlfriend, he would have had one long ago. The fact that he's still single now must be for some reason, and it's not because he can't find one. Since he doesn't want to look for one, if you keep showing your feelings, isn't that just going to make Cao Sen avoid you? So, what you should do now is blend into his social circle, haha, just like we always say, first get familiar with him."

  Wu Fang was overjoyed and thought that Cao Sen was indeed as her older sister had analyzed, no wonder her mother always praised her older sister as a female Zhuge Liang, she was indeed impressive. "So sis, after I've blended into his social circle?"

  "Hah, little girl, I have a killer move to deal with Cao Sen, but what's in it for me if I give you so many ideas?"

  "I'll treat you to seafood."

  "How many meals?"

  "Three meals... no... six meals... no... My sister treats you every day, good sister, just say it!"

  Yang Xiang gave her sister a mysterious smile, put her finger to her lips and made a zipping motion, then tiptoed barefoot to the door, suddenly opening it wide. Sima De, who was eavesdropping on the other side of the door, stumbled in, holding a just-lit cigarette in one hand and a lighter in the other, looking awkwardly at his wife and Wu Fang.

  "Did you all hear that?" Yang Xiang raised her eyebrow and stared at her husband.

  "No, I just arrived, didn't hear anything." Sima De forced a smile, wondering in his heart how his wife's ears could be so sharp?

  "Hum, if you dare to tell what you heard to that guy, Sima De, hum!"

  "What's wrong with that? My sister Fangfang is outstanding in appearance, figure, temperament and learning. If she can look up to Cao Sen, it's his good fortune, this is a good thing, I shouldn't interfere, right?"

  "Get out!" Yang Xiang pointed to the outside of the door.

  Simen Deh glumly came out, muttering to himself, "This is my bedroom, why are you driving me out?"

  Bang, the bedroom door closed, Sima De immediately slipped back and stuck his ear to the door again. He wanted to hear what his wife's killer was saying, so he could tell his brother to be on guard.

  Bang! The door slammed shut with a loud crash, causing Sima De's whole body to tremble.

  "Simu De, go to sleep!" Yang Xin shouted from outside the door and pounded on it with a fist.

  Simmer De had no choice but to return to his own home's guest room, lying on the bed still pondering, what was the killer move that his wife had mentioned? He was very clear, no matter what trick it was, as long as his wife got involved, Cao Sen would be in trouble. Sima De knew many elite women, but he had never met a woman more clever than his own wife, or to describe Yang Xiang more accurately, wise. Wu Fang had this female Zhuge to plot and strategize, the usually dominant Cao Sen might really fall into the trap. But Sima De did not want to give his brother a heads up, in his opinion Cao Sen was too hard-headed, he needed a woman by his side to balance him out, Wu Fang was absolutely a good candidate.

  Simmer down, stub out the cigarette, stretch comfortably on the bed, hehe, smiled twice, Cao Sen, you should know the power of women now.

  If the hidden enemy knew that at this critical moment, Cao Sen was calculated by two women, he would be delighted to sleep all night, or he should thank Sima De, this guy who doesn't know the urgency, for letting the two women get involved, which is absolutely beneficial and harmless to him.
