Chapter 952 - The Detective Who Could See Ghosts (32)

Yao Ying arrived at the place that Ming Shu told her. The horizon was glowing white and the world was covered in hazy light.

She saw Father Yao at a look; he was hung on the tree with strange vines. The thin mist drifted away, swaying like a ghost.

Yao Ying trembled all over with mixed anger and anxiety. Her heart began to beat fast out of nervousness.

She ran quickly toward Father Yao.

“Dad… Dad, wake up, how are you feeling?”

The vines hung down straight from the top and there was quite a distance between Father Yao and the ground. Yao Ying didn’t know how to set him down for a time.

Having been hung up there for a long time, Father Yao now felt that his mouth parched and his tongue scorched, his consciousness cloudy.

Hearing the sound, he opened his eyes with difficulty.

“Ying… Yingying…” Father Yao became sharper all of a sudden. “Go, leave quickly, go find your second uncle…”

“You took a long time. I thought you wouldn’t come.”

A clear voice came from one side, and Yao Ying looked over immediately. Ming Shu walked out of the morning mist alone.

Her entire person was shrouded in the thin mist and looked unreal, but for no reason she just gave out an oppressive feeling and made you dare not look in her eyes.

Yao Ying stood in front of Father Yao. “Don’t come over…”

Father Yao just kept telling her to leave.

“Dad, I won’t leave you alone.” Yao Ying made up her mind.

You had to admit that they cared about each other.

This was the difference between the treatment of one’s own child and someone else’s.

The bad people also had family.

These bad people—

They brought about their own suffering.

Well… It was about the breakfast time in the mountain villa.

I should be quicker.

Ming Shu pinched her own wrist and walked toward Yao Ying smilingly.

Yao Ying wasn’t a match for Ming Shu even with the help of ghosts, not to mention that she was by herself now.

She just didn’t understand why this woman was so obsessed with beating her.

Was there anything wrong with her brain?

“Qian Sui, I won’t forget this!” Father Yao was fiercely irritated to see his daughter being beaten up.

“What a coincidence, I think the mayor won’t forget you as well.” Ming Shu stopped. She dialed the mayor’s number in the face of Father Yao.

Old Skin drove ghosts to kill people.

But the real evil boss behind it was Father Yao.

The mayor would by no means let Father Yao off.

Father Yao’s eyes rolled and he directly fainted out of anger.

If he fell in the mayor’s hands, would there be any chance for him?

Originally Father Yao was completely sure of this matter. He intended to kill the mayor and make his men ascend the throne.

But for some reason, Old Skin couldn’t find a way to kill the mayor for a long time.

So he chose a detour and started from the people around the mayor.

Anyway, they were driving ghosts to kill and the police wouldn’t find out.

Who knew that there would come a trouble-maker in the process who caused Old Skin to get caught…

If not so, he wouldn’t have taken the risk and come to Ming Shu.

…

Ming Shu walked around the grass.

The morning sun broke through the clouds and fell on the man.

Gu Zhi leaned against the tree trunk with his head slightly sideways. His broken hair covered most of his face.

Ming Shu walked closer. She touched his hair with her fingers, and gently brushed it aside with the tips.

She reached out to pick up Little Beastie, curled it up into a ball, and placed it inside her pocket, then bent over to kiss the man’s lips.

Gu Zhi’s eyelashes trembled.

Ming Shu got up straight and then kicked him as he was going to open his eyes. “Get up.”

Gu Zhi covered the back of his head and felt a little dazed.

The girl stood against the light, which blurred her face and figure, but it made her look like a fairy descending to the world, sacred and warm.

Gu Zhi somehow felt it looked a little incompatible.

But he felt warm in his heart still.

This was his wife.

She was so beautiful.

But…

“Why did you knock me out?” It hurts.

“I was afraid you would see a bloody and violent scene.” If I don’t knock you out, my snacks coupon would have been gone.

Gu Zhi looked around. “Where’s the man?”

“Dead.”

“What?”

Gu Zhi stood up from the ground. He staggered a little since his brain was still dizzy. Ming Shu reached out and tried to help him, but Gu Zhi straightened quickly. Ming Shu then took back her hand as if nothing had happened.

“Did you kill him?”

“Or what, do I need to keep him and live a life together? I’m not a feeder.”

“…” Where’s the body? Where did you throw it? Was there a witness? Wait… I’m a cop!

He was afraid he needed to quit the job…

How much would it cost to bribe someone else to be the scapegoat…

“Puh, I was teasing you. He was taken away by the mayor’s men,” Ming Shu said. “We can go back now.”

Gu Zhi’s mood was changing like he was riding a roller coaster.

He reached out and tried to catch the person in front of him.

The golden sunlight fell through his fingers, but he touched nothing.

The girl walked away.

Gu Zhi felt an unreasonable panic in his heart.

As he got lost in thought there, his hand was suddenly held by someone, and Ming Shu’s voice sounded at the same time. “Are you rooting yourself or what, do you need me to spray some water on you?”

The warmth from her palm calmed down Gu Zhi’s uneasy heart. He felt like he had stepped on solid ground after floating in the clouds for too long.

“Wife.”

Ming Shu walked in front while holding his hand. “What? You know I’m hungry now, so don’t talk nonsense or I’ll beat you.”

“Will you… marry me.”

Ming Shu said seriously, “I think I’d better leave you here to take root and sprout.”

“I’m serious.”

“I’m serious, too.”

Do you want to get married so bad?

Do you think I am easy to marry?

Without several cars of snacks, don’t even think about it!

Gu Zhi didn’t say anything then.

The petite girl led a tall boy and walked away facing the morning sun.

…

He Ren’nian had a crazy night with the girl he brought with him, and the next morning when he got up, his entire person looked quite tired. He sat opposite Ming Shu while yawning.

“Good morning. Why are you two getting up so early?”

“We didn’t sleep for the whole night,” Ming Shu responded vaguely while having the porridge.

“Ah…” He Ren’nian was lit up by his soul of gossip. “Could our Chief Gu sustain so long?”

A whole night, chut chut chut…

“Him? Not exactly…”

He Ren’nian: “…”

He Ren’nian then looked at Gu Zhi with horror. What did she mean? Wasn’t she staying with you last night?

Gu Zhi revealed a gloomy smile.

He Ren’nian lowered his head immediately and focused on his porridge.

The young miss is impressive.

Ming Shu went back to sleep as soon as she finished breakfast.

Gu Zhi followed her, of course. But Ming Shu was too sleepy and Gu Zhi didn’t have the heart to disturb her, so he just held her in his arms and slept for a whole morning.

During the following time, He Ren’nian would from time to time rest his eyes on Ming Shu and Gu Zhi.

Because Yao Ying was gone, nothing abnormal happened.

Hang Zichen came to Ming Shu several times.

As long as Hang Zichen came to find Ming Shu, Gu Zhi would “punish” her hard at night. Ming Shu was a little angry that he disturbed her loving time with snacks.

She then punished him and finally made him stop the childish behavior.

…

Afterwards they returned to the city. Gu Zhi got new cases to handle, and Ming Shu also got new orders, so the two were busy with their own businesses then.

About the marriage topic, Gu Zhi didn’t pick it up later.

But Ming Shu always felt he was planning something big.

Each day when she went home, she was worried that he would tear down the house.

One day after Ming Shu met with a client, she received a call from the girl before.

She asked Ming Shu to meet her.

The case had been closed. It was the police who didn’t investigate it carefully, but even if they did, there were actually many loopholes.

The girl’s father was an accomplice and was also sentenced.

Now the girl’s guardian was her mother’s relative, and his father had left her enough fortune.

The case was over. Ming Shu went back and Gu Zhi told her that he had bought the villa she wanted to dig up, so she could dig at any time.

Ming Shu spared some time to dig out Old Ghost’s bones.

She buried the bones and erected a tombstone according Old Ghost’s instruction.

But she really didn’t understand why he had to ask for that since he left no offspring. The place would still be torn down after hundreds of years.

Old Ghost was angered almost to beat her to death.
