Aloof and abstinent surgeon

Li Qian sat down on the sofa, looking relaxed and at ease, as if what had just happened was nothing out of the ordinary for her.

Fu Jingchen poured her a glass of water before leaning back on the sofa. He took out a silver lighter from his pocket and lit a cigarette.

Li Qian watched him smoke, feeling like she was watching a domineering CEO.

Fu Jingchen's right leg was crossed over his left, and he looked so aloof and abstinent that I really wanted to push him down and force myself on him.

He exhaled rings of smoke, and with his slender fingers, he skillfully flicked the ash from his cigarette onto the ashtray.

Seeing her intense gaze, Fu Jingchen quickly stubbed out his cigarette. "Did I choke you?"

"I'm fine. In the future, try to smoke less; it's bad for your health."

Fu Jingchen nodded, feeling a warmth in his heart. "I understand. The man you were arguing with on the street earlier was named Zhang San. After you left, he was carried away by Nangong Jin's six bodyguards."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Jingchen pulled up the surveillance video again and showed it to Li Qian.

Just by looking at their eyes and build, Li Qian could guess who they were.

Fu Jingchen asked with concern, "Qianqian, were you hurt just now?"

"Seventh Imperial Uncle, don't worry, I'm not injured."

Just now, if I had fought him head-on, given my size and lack of strength, I wouldn't have been a match for him at all.

Fu Jingchen looked shaken. "It's good that you're alright. After you finished your call, I rested for a while. I figured you should be at Shadow Pavilion by now, so I thought I'd go pick you up at the main gate."

I checked the security footage and found out that you ran into Zhang San on the road. I was just about to go down the mountain and beat him up when I saw Nangong Jin's bodyguard throw him into the trunk and leave.

"I guess it was Brother Leng Feng who was worried that I would encounter danger on the road, so he sent them to protect me in secret."

At this moment, Fu Jingchen remembered Li Qian's purpose in coming to the Shadow Pavilion. "Qianqian, did you come to see me because you need any intelligence or information? Or do you need an assassin to do something?"

"No, that's not it. Tomorrow night, I want to go to the haunted house in the western suburbs and catch a few ghosts."

Fu Jingchen assumed that she had promised someone to go ghost hunting, and he also knew the location of that old house.

"That's an abandoned house. Who hired you to catch a ghost?"

Li Qian looked mysterious as she whispered in Fu Jingchen's ear, "I'm going to catch a ghost and make it into a ghost candle."

Fu Jingchen was also a little curious; he wondered what that ghost candle looked like.

Li Qian could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his micro-expressions.

She took out half of a red ghost candle from her spatial bracelet and placed it on the table.

When Fu Jingchen saw this eerie candle for the first time, he felt a chill as his hand approached it, and he immediately withdrew his hand.

"What is the purpose of this ghost candle?"

"If you light a ghost candle when you encounter a vengeful ghost, it can keep the ghost away. However, the burning speed of the ghost candle depends on the level of danger of the ghost."

The fiercer the ghost, the faster the ghost candle burns. If it is an ordinary wandering ghost, the candle can burn for half an hour, which is enough to wait for rescue.

"Once I've gathered all the materials this time, I'll start making ghost candles. I'll give you a few for self-defense."

Unfortunately, the materials are limited, so it cannot be mass-produced. Otherwise, if it were auctioned on the black market, the starting price for a single red ghost candle would be at least 100,000. I estimate its value to be around 200,000.

"Besides needing a vengeful ghost, what other materials do you need to make the ghost candle?"

Tell me everything so I can help you find it.

"We also need corpse oil, but this material is a bit special. If we're not careful, we'll end up in jail."

However, tonight, around 2 AM, I will be able to obtain a ten-kilogram bottle of materials.

Fu Jingchen sighed before saying, "If this were ancient times, I could use my power to have someone extract some from those death row inmates."

Things are different now. This is a society governed by law, and given the special nature of this material, unless obtained through the black market, who would dare to openly obtain it? They'd be asking for trouble.

"Seventh Imperial Uncle, if there's nothing else, I'll be heading down the mountain."

Fu Jingchen was worried about her. He was afraid that if she went down the mountain alone, she might encounter some danger on the way.

"Let me take you back. That way, I'll feel at ease. Anyway, we're going to the haunted house with you tomorrow night, so it's fine to stay at the villa in the city for one night."

Li Qian nodded, "That's fine."

After they arrived at the garage on the first floor, Fu Jingchen pressed the car key, and with a 'ding', the car door slowly opened.

Li Qian glanced at the car, her eyes filled with obvious amazement.

"I really like the color of this Rolls-Royce Phantom, which is a sapphire blue."

Fu Jingchen was in a good mood and replied with a gentle smile, "Yes, I think so too, this color is beautiful."

After Li Qian got into the passenger seat, Fu Jingchen naturally helped her fasten her seatbelt before starting the car; his driving skills were quite good.

When the car reached the fifth turn, the black SUV was still parked on the road.

Fu Jingchen unbuckled his seatbelt. "Wait a moment, I'll go get his dashcam."

Li Qian replied, "Okay, before, after he fell to the ground, I was afraid he would recover soon, so I left quickly and forgot about this matter."

Fu Jingchen walked up to the black SUV, opened the door, and tried to take the dashcam from the car, only to find that the memory card slot was empty; the card had been removed.

When Fu Jingchen was watching the surveillance video, he clearly didn't see anyone open the car door.

He recalled the contents of the surveillance video again, but wait, there was a detail he had overlooked.

At that time, six men dressed in black got out of a blue SUV. Two of them put a sack over Zhang San's head, carried him to the trunk, and then got into the car.

After a while, an invisible hand opened the door of the black SUV, and two minutes later, the door closed again.

At the time, Fu Jingchen was puzzled by the fact that the car door moved automatically without any wind, which he couldn't explain scientifically. If you were talking about ghosts, they would be afraid of sunlight in broad daylight. Now, he finally understood that someone wearing an invisibility cloak had taken Zhang San's dashcam.
