Chapter 5: Blackmailing Humans and Ghosts

  The next night, Ye Wen was still in bed when Zhen Zhen came to inform him, "Something's happened! Liu Hai has gone crazy again!" "I know," Ye Wen said, still lying on his pillow with his eyes closed. He turned to one side and asked, "Did Liu Hai's father say how much money he would give?" "No, I didn't see him today, it seems like he went to invite a master." "Invite a master? Is that useful?" Ye Wen curled up his mouth in disdain. These days, masters were everywhere, but how many of them actually had real skills? Most of them were just seeking fame and fortune. "Let's go take a look at Long Ying first," Ye Wen said, kicking the newly-crawled-onto-his-leg Tian Huan to one side, ignoring Tian Huan's pitiful cries as he turned around and walked out. "Don't come over! Are you very familiar with him?" Zhen Zhen looked at Tian Huan, who was crawling back towards him, and said before flashing away. Leaving behind the poor Tian Huan staring at the ants on the ground, feeling sad by himself.

  The girl in the hospital is called Long Yinying, and the one who died was her twin sister Long Jingjing. The two sisters' names are pleasant to hear, but their fate is tragic. Their parents divorced, and soon after, their mother passed away, and their father lost his way. They followed their only grandmother for a few years, but she also left them. The two lonely and helpless sisters then met Liu Hai, this scoundrel, and tragedy occurred.

  "How's it going?" Ye Xun asked Snow, who had been keeping watch here all night.

  "Hmm, no reaction at all." Snow rubbed her red eyes; "Long Jingjing?"

  "She was scared by Tian Chui yesterday, now she's making a fuss upstairs."

  "Right, the hospital just notified us to pay the remaining fees, or we'll be moved to the collective ward downstairs." Snow took over the breakfast on Zhenzhen's table; "I only have enough in my pocket for today, if you guys have some, lend it to me first."

  "Fatso?" Zhenzhen looked around; "Where is this rich guy?"

  "I guess he went home to gather money and fell asleep." Snow smiled; "It's hard for Come Xi to stay up all night here."

  "I think he has his eyes on you, be careful." Ye Xun said with a sly smile; "Don't worry about the money, someone will come to pay it today."

  "You're talking nonsense again." Snow's face turned red; "Who's going to pay?"

  "The person who should pay will pay, humph..."

  "Everyone! Lunch is here!" At a little past one in the afternoon, Lai Xi walked in with a big bag of things and smiled. "Wow, thanks for remembering us." Zhen Zhen's face was still flushed with anger; "Just woke up?" "Don't randomly wrong people!" Lai Xi put down the things and said; "From home to here, it takes at least an hour to buy things." "Keep your voice down." Ye Wen covered Snow's body with clothes as she lay on the bed; "This little girl just fell asleep, let's go outside to smoke." As soon as they left the house, they saw a fat man with three small mustaches and a fringe walking around. "Is that the master?" Ye Wen asked doubtfully. "Probably, I'll go check it out." Zhen Zhen walked towards the fat man and Liu Hai's father. Then they saw several people talking and occasionally pointing at Ye Wen. Before long, they saw the fat man rush over and say; "Little Ye, you're here too!" "Don't be so polite, first meeting, can't bear this title." Ye Wen smiled mischievously. "You little brat, still so poor-mouthed." The fat man's face turned red; "Master Ye is also here?" "How nostalgic for the past?" Ye Wen laughed and said; "I can take care of it." "No, no, that thing, I have something else to do." The fat man seemed to think of something terrifying; he turned around and said to Liu Hai's father "With this person here, you don't need me. Are you trying to make me look bad?" After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran away. "What's going on?" Several people looked at Ye Wen with questioning eyes. "Nothing, a few years ago when I was helping Grandpa read the wind and water, we met this guy who raised ghosts to cheat money, Grandpa got angry and threw him into a coffin, and then used ghosts to torture him for several days." As soon as they heard this, they started sweating, staying in a coffin with a dead person for several days, being scared by ghosts in turn, just listening to Ye Wen's words made them not want to offend him. Liu Hai's father seemed to feel that Ye Wen was looking at him with ill intentions; "Master Ye, don't think too much, I'm just..." "I know, I know, you can rest assured, there are very few ghosts now, and the most in our house is just a few." Ye Wen comforted; "Besides, the mortuary doesn't have a coffin effect." When Ye Wen saw Liu Hai's father about to explain again, he immediately spoke up; "That thing, you're busy, my friend is hospitalized and needs money urgently, you go first." Then he gave Zhen Zhen and Lai Xi a look and turned around to leave. "Don't go!" Liu Hai's father took a step forward and grabbed Ye Wen; "Yesterday's price, I've thought it over carefully and decided to pay immediately!" "You mustn't force yourself!" "How could I?" Liu Hai's father said with a serious expression; "For the sake of my child, I'm willing to do more!"

  "Money, it's actually not that hard to earn." Ye Wen said, shaking a bank card. "Now you won't have to worry about university tuition anymore." "Don't worry? That's ridiculous," Ye Wen said, looking at Lai Xi with a silly grin. "Long Yinying's medical expenses and the cost of replacing her eyes are not enough." "Then we'll just keep extorting him," Lai Xi suggested. "No way, I'm a person with morals!" Ye Wen chuckled; "First, let Liu Hai recover, then drive his dad crazy, and we'll need to charge for saving his dad. That's not extortion." "Are you going to make his mom have an accident too?" Zhen Zhen asked. "That depends on their sincerity," Ye Wen sighed; "I really can't bear to ask for money from someone twice, it's too immoral." "What money?" Xue Er woke up and asked in confusion. "Nothing!" The three of them chimed in unison; "We're discussing moral issues, go back to sleep!"

  "Long Jingjing, come out!" Ye Wen shouted from the window. "I'm behind you..." a faint voice replied. "Can't you be a bit more normal?" Ye Wen turned around to see Jingjing's gloomy face and blood-stained clothes; "Are you afraid others won't know you're a ghost?" "I'm used to it," Jingjing's figure slowly transformed, and in no time, she became a 17- or 18-year-old pure and lovely girl with shoulder-length hair and a floral dress that showed off her excellent figure. "Wow, you're quite the calamity," Ye Wen didn't expect Jingjing to look even better than Xue'er, who hadn't grown up yet... "Let's go, we have work to do." Ye Wen saw Jingjing's eyes start to change again and said; "Later, when we get upstairs, I'll pretend to be serious, you suddenly appear, and then make the room a mess. Finally, I'll eliminate you in one move. Got it?" "Acting?" Jingjing was somewhat unwilling. "Of course, we're acting, but you can also teach them a lesson." Ye Wen pointed at Yingying; "Now your sister's surgery fees aren't enough, so we need to extort more money. Tomorrow, you'll start changing your appearance and fooling Old Liu. When the money is almost all extorted, do as you please."

  Here is the translation:

  "Wishing everyone a happy new year here!!!! Poor me, alone on New Year's Day, hugging my computer in bed and writing ghosts... Hope you all have fun. Today being New Year's Day, I'm making an exception and posting two chapters, hehe"
