Chapter Forty-six The Old Man Who Wouldn't Leave

  "How can we let the deceased rest in peace?"

  "There are many reasons why deceased loved ones don't leave, but generally it's because they have unfulfilled wishes. Once their wishes are fulfilled, they will naturally leave."

  It's actually a very simple truth that ordinary people can also understand, Tian Qi said casually, without hiding anything. However, when the man heard Tian Qi say this, his face turned somewhat unpleasant.

  "Are you okay? Have a drink of water." The fat man also noticed and said to the man.

  Tian Qi noticed that the man would occasionally glance outside, as if he was afraid of being seen by someone, and roughly understood his meaning.

  "Why don't we go upstairs and talk about it? It's more convenient there," Tian Qi said, being able to grasp the customer's mind in time, this business is already half successful.

  When the man heard Tian Qi say that, he let out a sigh of relief. Although he didn't say thank you, his eyes had already changed a lot when looking at Tian Qi.

  "I hope you'll excuse me, but because of work-related reasons, I don't want others to know about this matter."

  Tian Qi and Pangzi smiled, without saying anything. From the beginning of their career, they had this awareness that customer protection was top priority.

  The man then felt at ease and began to recount the strange events he had encountered.

  His mother passed away two weeks ago. Everyone has birth, aging, illness and death, which is a natural phenomenon, but after the old man's death, his four-year-old son seemed to behave abnormally.

  He usually needs someone to coax him along, but after the old man passed away, he often plays alone there with great joy.

  At first, his wife didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that the child was growing up and wasn't as clingy anymore. But at dinner time, a sentence from her son made everyone in the family scared out of their wits.

  "Is your child saying that his grandma has been playing with him all along?" Tian Qi said.

  "That's right, that's what he said. At the time, my wife was scared to death, but I didn't take it seriously. I never believed in such things anyway. But..." The man's heart began to beat faster, his face tense with anxiety.

  "But three days later, one evening, I came back very late due to social engagements. Previously, the child lived with my mother at night, but now his small bed had been moved into our bedroom. Afraid of disturbing the child, I didn't turn on the light and entered the bedroom using only the glow of my phone. At that time, there was moonlight, so the room wasn't very dark. On the cabinet beside the bed, I saw a black shadow standing in front of my son's bed, but at that moment, except for me standing there, there was no one else in the room, and my wife was also asleep!"

  Tian Qi finally understood what was going on. At first, he didn't believe his son's words and didn't believe that there were ghosts in this world, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he finally believed.

  "But how can you be sure that black shadow is your mother who has passed away?" Fatso asked.

  "It was my son who said that. He said grandma always comes to play with him at night, but less during the day. And that black shadow really does look like her."

  For young children being able to see ghosts, Tian Qi had no doubts about it. His mentor told him that children under the age of ten, because their souls were not yet fully stabilized, said they saw ghosts, rather than saying that their own souls were communicating with ghosts.

  "Has your child been abnormal, I mean getting sick or having a fever?" Tian Qi asked.

  The boy shook his head, not only did he not get sick, but he also slept more soundly at night and rarely cried.

  This is easy to explain, in the eyes of a child who doesn't know what humans and ghosts are, grandma was originally his family member, coming to coax him at night to play with him is more normal than before, naturally he listens much better now.

  "It doesn't look bad this way either, and the kid still has someone to coax him at night!" Fatso thought it wasn't a bad thing.

  Tian Qi shook his head and let Baozi go take a look at the cow's eye, then looked at the man's forehead.

  Fatso didn't know what kind of medicine was being sold in Tianqi's gourd, but he did it anyway. When he looked at the man again, Fatso exclaimed in surprise, "How come there is a wisp of black air on your forehead!"

  The fat man said this, and the man's face turned even worse, and he hurriedly asked for a solution.

  Yin and yang are separated, they are different existences. If they often come together, the yang energy will be reduced by the yin energy, and the yin energy will also harm the yang energy. Now it doesn't seem like much, just a little black air on the forehead, but later who knows? Many of the loved ones around you will likely die suddenly, and those who have already passed away may eventually scatter their souls.

  However, these were just Tian Qi's thoughts in his heart, and he didn't tell the man because it hadn't reached that serious point yet. He didn't need to alarm him unnecessarily, unlike some doctors who intentionally made the illness sound very severe, causing patients and their families to panic and spend money on treatment.

  "Let's go take a look today, I don't know if it's convenient or not," said Tian Qi.

  "Alright, alright, my car is just a short distance from here, I'll drive you there."

  "No need, we have our own car!" said the fat man.

  "Whatever you say!" Tian Qi nodded slightly at the fatty, since they didn't park their car in front of the company and asked to ride in his car instead, it was definitely for **. The fatty was also a clever person, so he immediately understood the client's intention.

  Time didn't seem very long, an hour's time had passed, if it weren't for traffic congestion on the road, it would have been even faster.

  "Tianqi, this is a high-end residential area. The people who live here are either rich or noble, you know?" The man went to park the car in the garage, so Tianqi and the fat guy got out of the car first.

  Tian Qi wasn't that gossipy, when they were in the car, although the man didn't say anything specific, but he knew he was a government official, and by the looks of it, quite a high-ranking leader. Someone like him living in a high-end neighborhood wasn't unusual. He told Fatso not to pry into things that weren't his business.

  The man soon returned, taking the two of them to his floor where he lived.

  The house is not small, it should be around 140 square meters, with three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms. It's a south-north facing house, so it's well-ventilated. After entering the room, Tian Qi took a rough look at the environment of the house.

  "The child is still sleeping, you two sit and have some tea first, it should be time for him to wake up soon." Because of this incident, the man's wife didn't dare to take care of the child alone at home, so the man asked his mother-in-law to take care of them for a few days, and these were her words.

  "Tianqi, what's wrong? I think this house is quite good, spacious and bright, the orientation is not bad either." The fat man said, unable to bear Tianqi's silence.

  If you're not careful, it's really hard to notice. Tian Qi thought the house was fine when he first came in, but after observing for a while and sitting back on the sofa, he felt that something was off. The feeling was very subtle, his eyes couldn't see anything, but his body could sense it. It was like drinking scalding hot water and suddenly swallowing a small ice cube - although the sensation disappeared instantly, the ice cube had indeed existed.

  "Mr. Wu, my child is awake." Just as Tian Qi was still observing and thinking, the man, along with his wife, led out their four-year-old child.

  "Call him uncle," said the man.

  "Hello, Uncle!" The four-year-old child was very clever and well-behaved, possibly due to just waking up, his eyes were still a bit sleepy.

  Tian Qi smiled and responded, the fat man was not polite, stood up and took the child in his arms. It can be seen that he really likes children, and this child is not afraid of strangers, smiling and crawling into the fat man's arms.

  Tian Qi saw that the child's forehead also had a wisp of black air, including his wife and his mother-in-law, all were the same, only now the black air was very light and faint, currently there was no impact.

  After chatting for a while, Tian Qi stood up and bid farewell. He made an appointment with the man to come again in the evening. He wanted to go back with Pao Zi to fetch some things, and now the soul of the child's grandmother was no longer in the room.

  "Mr. Wu, how should this matter be handled?" Since it was a man who drove over, he personally drove to send them back on the way back.

  "I don't know, I'll only find out after seeing your deceased mother. I observed the rooms and people in your home, the old man died without any resentment." Tian Qi said truthfully.

  Tian Qi said so, the man also put down his heart. Because of his busy work, he didn't spend much time with his family, but whenever he had spare time, he would often accompany his mother and wife and children. His mother shouldn't have any resentment.

  Actually, there was another thing that Tian Qi didn't mention. When he observed the young son of the man, he found that his soul was unstable and showed signs of leaving his body, but he didn't say it out loud, everything will be said tonight.
