Chapter 28: Jiang Huan's Father Thanks Warm Man Zhong Gege

  "Zihe... you've finally arrived!" Ze Heng got excited when he saw me and ended up being subdued by the police.

  "What's going on..." I asked Ze Hong, and he told me... As soon as he entered the room, he was looking for a big knife. The result was that the knife wasn't found, and the woman couldn't wait any longer, so she directly pressed him onto the bed, stripped off his clothes, but he kept asking "Where's my knife? Where's my knife?"

  His pants were all stripped off, and just as he heard the sound at the door, he still went to open it in a daze. The first thing he asked was: "Have you seen my big knife?"

  This is ridiculous. The police were originally just here to catch the prostitute... but he suddenly asked the police for a big knife... and was treated like a murderer... and taken away directly.

  "Shi Teng... aren't you drunk?! How did you get caught without even wearing clothes?" I took a look at Shi Teng, and he was just like Ze Hong...

  "I...I don't know either...I just woke up like this...then I heard the door creaking, and as soon as it opened, they grabbed me...I didn't even know why they were arresting me...Shixiong said it was a Red Dust Trial...but isn't that against the law too?" After hearing Shitian's explanation, I felt depressed. If you want to find a woman, just find one, why drag in the Red Dust Trial..."

  "Ah...! Zikawa, we are in the mortal world, they insist on saying that we are whoring around..." Ze Hong also innocently said... I'm convinced by them.

  "Go ahead and solicit prostitutes if you want! What's the point of all this nonsense!" The police officer yelled directly at Ze Huan.

  "Hey, hey... Don't be angry, officer. That's from Northeast China, isn't it?" I went over to try to get on good terms with him...

  "Really? I'm from Jilin... Are you also from Northeast China?" It really works, doesn't it? They say it's great when fellow countrymen meet each other...

  "Hmm... yeah, I'm from Jilin too..." I followed his lead, but the result was "Even being from the same hometown doesn't work... soliciting a prostitute is still soliciting a prostitute, did you bring money?"

  "What money?"

  "Save their money, 5,000 per person!"

  "Ah... sorry, I don't know them."

  "I turned around and left, this is no joke. One person 5,000, two people is 10,000. Where would a student like me get that much..."

  "Zi Chuan...! Don't go. Hurry up and take us out, it's freezing to death." Ze Heng saw me say I don't know them and panicked.

  "Police uncle... can you let me go first..." I couldn't take Ze Hong and Shi Teng anymore.

  "Who are you? You're still pretending to be from the same hometown as me, but you treat me like this..."

  "Ah...alright...you guys put on your pants first..." I threw the two sets of clothes I brought to them and ran out to think of a solution...where can I find 10,000 yuan?

  I came out of the police station like a headless fly... what to do, those two are still at the police station. But who can I borrow 10,000 yuan from? Looking at the time, it's almost 7 o'clock. Forget it, let's go back to school first... As soon as I returned to the dormitory, I found them and pieced together more than 5,000 yuan, and also borrowed 2,000 yuan from Tingting.

  "What's it for?" I thought she would ask me when I borrowed it from Zhang Ting.

  "Hey, those two guys who were with me yesterday beat someone up and now we have to pay for their medical expenses..."

  Let's save one first. I also did my best. Rushing to the police station, I didn't even have time to say goodbye to Zhang Ting. When I arrived at the police station... I was outside collecting money for them, and those two were actually sleeping!

  One person goes up first and kicks one foot...

  "Ah, Zikawa, you've finally arrived." Ze Hong was kicked awake by me and saw that I was excited to death, while Shi Tong was still sleeping...and he couldn't even be woken up by a kick. I was just about to kick him again.

  "No need to kick him anymore, he'll wake up when he wants to." Ze Heng stopped me.

  Does Shitian still have this habit?

  "Zi Jiang... thank you so much! If it weren't for you, we two sworn brothers would have been trapped here."

  Zehong said with tears in his eyes...

  "Don't thank me... I'm just taking one person's money." As soon as I said this, Zehong shushed me.

  "Don't let my junior brother hear." I'm going, is this what it means to be a senior brother? But also have to say that Shì Téng is too formidable, actually waking up at this time... "Senior brother, what are you whispering?"

  Just then, Ze Heng scared him: "No...no, isn't Zi Chuan coming to protect us?"

  "Wow, you've got the money so quickly!" It was the policeman from Jilin last night.

  "Ah, let's take a step aside and talk." I pulled that police officer to the side "I only brought 5,000 with me. Can you please let both of them go first? I'll give you the rest of the money as soon as I have it..."

  "Haven't you woken up yet?" I talked for half a day, and he shattered me with just one sentence. I almost scolded him, but thinking about it, I endured instead... when I was at my wit's end...

  "Director is good!" The police officer next to me saluted towards the door. I looked over and saw a middle-aged man walking in, feeling very familiar... but couldn't quite place him. So I just watched as he walked past me.

  Isn't that Jiang Huan's father?!

  "Hey! Director Jiang! Director Jiang!" I shouted at him, afraid that he hadn't heard me.

  He turned around and saw me... stared at me for a few seconds.

  "Ah, you're not...you're not that old man's apprentice, are you!" Jiang Zheng obviously recognized me too. That makes things easier, with a connection everything is easy to handle!

  The policeman next to me saw that I knew the director and was too embarrassed to speak.

  "Director Jiang... is Jiang Huan doing well?"

  "En en, thank you so much, Master."

  Haha, come on, come to my office." Jiang Zheng saw that I was very happy and called me to his office. I turned around and gestured to Ze Hong and Shi Teng, letting them hold on for a while...

  "Haha, last time you guys left in a hurry, I didn't have the chance to repay your kindness... Where's your master?" It can be seen that Jiang Zheng is very excited and has always been enthusiastic towards me.

  "Hmm, my master has something on his mind lately."

  "Ah, you're really something... It's as if I'm thanking you in person. By the way, what's your name?"

  "My name is Li Zichuan... Ah, Director, I have something to trouble you with."

  "What's with that... Actually, I was worried before, but after meeting you, I feel like this matter has been settled, sorry to trouble you."

  What's wrong? Has something happened to Jiang Zheng again?

  "What's wrong with Jiang Huan again?"

  "It's not... Ah, actually this thing... is also our fault." I heard him say it wasn't Jiang Huan, so then I didn't know what else to do. "A while ago, someone died in an alley on Nanxi Road..."

  "What's it to me if someone is dead?"

  "Listen to me first... The death is not normal, we've searched the entire alley and haven't found any clues... The deceased's appearance is also strange... His face is pale, his body looks like it's been drained of water..."

  "What's the big deal? Did he die suddenly?"

  "At first, we also asked a forensic doctor to examine his body, and the result was that he had no symptoms of illness, and his neighbors all said that he was very strong before his death. What's even stranger is that another person died in that alley just a few days later, with the same cause of death."

  It felt a bit unusual when I heard this... pale face? dry body? It's as if something had been sucked out of him.

  "Take me to see the body." This is the method for now. Jiang Zheng also heard that I wanted to see the body and was overjoyed. I suddenly thought of something.

  "By the way, Director Chiang... I also need to trouble you with something. Two of my friends were caught by the police department and I hope you can release them."

  "What? Is this true? How did you get caught?"

  Talking about prostitution? No way, "experienced in the ways of the world and got caught by the police..."

  "Tempering in the mortal world?"

  "Hey... these two friends of mine aren't ordinary people... their master gave them a task, which was to go down the mountain to find women to cultivate their willpower, but they ended up getting caught by you police at the hotel..." I made a mess that even I couldn't bear. But then Director Jiang heard this and burst out laughing "Alright! It's just prostitution, no big deal, I'll take care of it, just tell them not to go again next time!"

  He nodded in agreement and I also let out a sigh of relief... As soon as we went out, Director Jiang told the police to release them.

  "Ah, Zikawa! Thank you so much!" Ze Hong and Shi Teng both hugged me together... I'm exhausted.

  "Alright, alright, thank you Director Jiang."

  "Haha, no need to thank me, but I need you guys to help me with something."

  Ze Hong and Shi Teng were about to thank Director Jiang when they heard him say this, and they too were perplexed. "What help?" I asked.

  "I don't know either, let's go first and talk later."

  The three of us were taken to the morgue by Director Jiang... "What are we doing in this place? Brother Shi, have we finished our worldly trials?" As soon as Shitian arrived at this place, he blurted out this sentence. I was afraid that he would offend Director Jiang again and be locked up, so I quickly signaled him to shut up.

  We walked to a stretcher... On it lay a corpse covered with a white cloth... Director Jiang also didn't say a word of greeting and lifted the white cloth... "Take a look, you guys."

  We walked up and surrounded the corpse... it was a bit nauseating, my scalp shrunk back, and my belly had been stitched up with needles... apparently it had been autopsied by a forensic doctor and then sewn back up.

  "Has his soul been taken away?" I saw Ze Hong and Shi Teng say as soon as they saw the corpse.

  "Do you know what's going on?" When I heard them say this sentence, I suddenly remembered that it was very similar to the symptoms of having one's soul stolen...

  But who would snatch their souls? And what for?

  "How could I have known, I just arrived yesterday... Last night was still spent at the police station... But looking at this situation, it seems like someone is specifically collecting souls." Ze Heng complained.

  "Senior brother... Master said that the soul generally leaves the body normally after death... Being forcibly taken away means someone is practicing evil arts?" It seems that Shitian also understands some of it.

  "Hmm...yes. Someone must be up to something."

  "What should I do?" I asked them... As a result, they answered me with a sentence that made me want to scold them.
