Chapter 15 Car Accident 15
The evil spirit will erode the soul, gradually devouring a person's spiritual energy. When the spiritual energy is completely consumed, a person becomes a walking corpse. Qin Fei has an obvious evil spirit on him, and Gu Wenkai definitely can't just let it go.
Qin Fei's personality is not the type to actively share with others what he has encountered, generally if others don't ask, he won't say. Of course, for some important matters, Qin Fei will still speak up, but Gu Wenkai doesn't trust his own judgment on whether things are important or not.
It just so happens that Song Meng and a group of familiar people are all here, and he can't pull Qin Fei aside to talk quietly, so he plans to go out for lunch with Qin Fei in the afternoon and find a quiet place to ask him clearly.
By the time they reached lunchtime, Gu Wenkai had just pushed Qin Fei out of the book bar when he saw Song Meng and Zhou Jun following closely behind him. Gu Wenkai turned around and looked at them suspiciously, then walked a few steps forward with Qin Fei before turning back to look again, only to find that Song Meng and Zhou Jun were still right behind them, their distance completely unchanged.
"What are you doing following us?" Gu Wenkai eyed the two people behind him warily.
"Are you going out for dinner with Qin Xiaofei?" Zhou Jun asked aloud.
"Yes!" Gu Wenkai replied.
"Let's go together!" Song Meng showed a big white tooth to Gu Wenkai.
"You're out of money for food again?" Although Gu Wenkai used a question, he was already certain about the intentions of this private detective duo.
He lit a cigarette in his mouth, but didn't light it up. He gave Gu Wenkai a melancholic expression and said in a low tone: "Business has been bad lately!"
When was your business ever booming? Gu Wenkai silently cursed in his heart.
"Life is hard, Officer Gu, you can't just stand by and do nothing!" Song Meng rubbed his big belly, which was piled up with fat, and looked at Gu Wenkai with a sorrowful expression.
Gu Wenkai: "......"
"Or... let's do it together? I'll treat." Qin Fei was quite familiar with the financial situation of these two on the second floor of his bookstore. In a year, after paying rent, they barely had enough to eat, and sometimes when luck wasn't on their side, they would occasionally go hungry, which was a common problem.
"No way!" Gu Wenkai refused without hesitation. This was not because he didn't have enough money to treat people to dinner, as he had known Song Meng and Zhou Jun for a long time and they often came to his place for free meals. However, today he had planned to carefully ask Qin Fei about the strange aura around him, which was why he specifically invited Qin Fei out to eat. If Song Meng and Zhou Jun followed them, then what was the point of inviting someone out in the first place?
Met with Gu Wenkai's blunt rejection, would the two famine-stricken men give up? Obviously, they were not young anymore, but they didn't care about their image at all and had thick skin. Giving up was just a dream.
As soon as Gu Wenkai finished speaking, Zhou Jun let out a long sigh and said, "Little Kai, being petty has no future."
Song Meng replied: "Xiao Kai, being stingy is wrong. Besides, Qin Xiaofei has already agreed to be with us."
Gu Wenkai: "......" Are you trying to wrongfully kill him?
"Let's go together, it's just a matter of one meal." Qin Fei smiled and looked at Song Meng and Zhou Jun, beckoning them to follow him, then turned his head to Gu Wenkai and said, "What you said about that ghostly energy thing, let's talk about it later."
Gu Wenkai was depressed. Since Qin Fei had said so, what else could be done? For now, he could only deal with the two who were making a fuss about food first.
Four people went to a hot pot restaurant across the street from a bookstore. At this time of year, there were not many people eating hot pot, and since it was just lunchtime, the hot pot restaurant wasn't too crowded. The private rooms were already taken, but the four didn't mind and found an empty table for four in the main hall to sit down at.
After the good stuff was sent up, after the hot pot base had been boiling for a while, Song Meng was the first to start his hands.
They had been eating for about half an hour, and except for Song Meng who was still scooping up food, the other three people had already put down their chopsticks. Gu Wenkai was just about to mock Song Meng's bottomless stomach when his phone rang. It was a text message from Gu Yin.
It was unexpected for Gu Yin to send a text message to himself, but after seeing the content of the message, Gu Wenkai suddenly felt terrified.
Gu Yin sent a text message, asking about Qin Fei's condition. When he received the amulet from Gu Yin to give to Qin Fei that morning, it was already surprising enough, but unexpectedly, Gu Yin didn't stop at just sending the amulet and even sent a text message to ask about Qin Fei's situation. Is this still his ruthless and cold-blooded big brother?
After reading the message, Gu Wenkai turned his head and scrutinized Qin Fei with an unprecedented serious gaze, eager to find out what made his brother so concerned about him.
"What's wrong?" Qin Fei was forced to ask aloud by Gu Wenkai's gaze that had a certain texture.
"I'm looking for something special about you." Gu Wenkai said.
"What's next?" Qin Fei asked.
"Then... I found out that apart from your face, everything else about you is quite ordinary."
"Yes, I agree with your conclusion."
After exchanging a few words with Qin Fei, Gu Wenkai shifted his gaze from Qin Fei and began to recall the text message from Gu Yin. He roughly told Gu Yin about the ghostly aura he saw on Qin Fei, but didn't expect Gu Yin to say that he would come over and asked for their current address.
Gu Wenkai's expression had turned wooden, and he completely couldn't understand Gu Yin's bizarre attitude.
Gu Yin arrived very quickly, probably because he was originally not far from the hot pot restaurant where Qin Fei and others were eating. When Song Meng finally ate his fill, Qin Fei finished paying the bill, and the four of them walked out of the hot pot restaurant together, Gu Yin was already waiting at the door.
Gu Yin's gaze fell on Qin Fei as soon as he walked out of the hot pot restaurant, and only after their eyes met did he speak up: "Come over."
Qin Fei was taken aback and only walked towards Gu Yin after confirming that he was indeed talking to her.
"Who is this arrogant kid?" Zhou Jun asked the two people left beside him after Qin Fei walked away.
"It's my elder brother..." answered Gu Wenkai.
"You don't look like him at all!" Song Meng's gaze darted back and forth between Gu Wenkai and Gu Yin, "He has a face that can bring disaster to the country and harm its people. As his younger brother, why don't you even have half of his appearance? Are you brothers from the same father but different mothers, or from the same mother but different fathers?"
"Thanks! We're siblings!" Gu Wenkai glared at Song Meng.
At the entrance of the hot pot restaurant, Gu Wenkai and others were whispering to each other. During this time, Gu Yin asked Qin Fei some questions and had almost figured out why there was a ghostly aura surrounding Qin Fei's body. Although Qin Fei was startled by that little ghost last night, Gu Yin was present at the scene and could confirm that Qin Fei did not have any ghostly aura on him at that time. And this morning, when Qin Fei encountered that little ghost again, it was likely that the ghostly aura had attached itself to him then.
It's just strange that the little ghost approached Qin Fei again and again, but only let Qin Fei get entangled with the ghostly energy, without causing any more substantial harm to Qin Fei. This doesn't conform to the behavior of a malevolent spirit. However, it's already strange for someone like Qin Fei who has great merit in the eyes of the gods to be haunted by a malevolent spirit.
"What strange behavior did she exhibit when you saw her this morning?" Gu Yin continued to ask.
"She pointed out a direction for me, northwest."
