Aloof and abstinent surgeon

After Fu Jingchen returned to the car, he told Li Qian, "Zhang San's dashcam has been taken away."

Li Qian pondered, "I guess Leng Yu and the others took it. I'll ask the soldier when I get home."

Fu Jingchen took out his phone, made a call, and instructed his subordinates to do two things.

The first thing to do was to drive this black SUV to the parking lot at the foot of the mountain.

The second thing was to find a road maintenance team to divide the road up the mountain into two lanes, left and right.

After he hung up the phone, Fu Jingchen drove down the mountain. Half an hour later, the car was parked on the road next to the villa in the eastern suburbs.

After Li Qian got out of the car, she asked Fu Jingchen, "Seventh Imperial Uncle, where do you live?"

“I also bought a villa a hundred meters away from you, so that even if you encounter any trouble in the future, I can quickly come to your rescue.”

Li Qian felt a pang of sadness, and her eyes welled up with tears. After composing herself, she said, "Seventh Imperial Uncle, thank you!"

Whether in ancient times or in modern times, this man's heart has always remained the same towards her, always cherishing her and protecting her.

Fu Jingchen looked at her and smiled indulgently, "Silly girl, being good to you is just what I should do, there's nothing to be moved about."

After watching Li Qian enter the villa's main gate, Fu Jingchen drove towards the Zhuyingxuan Villa.

East Suburb Villa

As Li Qian walked down to the first floor, she passed by Leng Feng's door and saw that it was half-open. She knocked on the door and, through the crack, saw him sitting in front of the computer, typing away on the keyboard, busy with work.

Leng Feng looked up at her and said, "Girl, come in. I'm done with my work."

Li Qian went inside and sat down on the sofa next to the desk.

She didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point, asking Leng Feng, "Soldier, did Leng Yu and the others take Zhang San's dashcam?"

Leng Feng nodded and said, "The video in the dashcam is not good for you, so I had Leng Feng take it away."

He gave Li Qian a bag of spicy dried tofu, and then thoughtfully poured her a glass of water.

As soon as Leng Feng sat down next to Li Qian, a look of worry appeared on his face. "Girl, are you hurt?"

"Soldier, I'm alright."

Leng Feng's expression was somewhat serious. "Next time you go out, I have to go with you. It's too dangerous for you to go out alone."

This time, thankfully I had a backup plan; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

I just watched Zhang San's dashcam footage. With his height and build, if you were to fight him head-on, you would be no match for him.

Thankfully, you're smart; this time, you narrowly won.

Li Qian lowered her head, like a primary school student who had made a mistake and was accepting criticism; her attitude was quite good.

Seeing her looking like she was being scolded and reprimanded, Leng Feng couldn't bear to criticize or educate her anymore. He sighed helplessly, like a worried old father, "Sigh, I really don't know what to do with you."

Li Qian raised her head, her face serious. She held up three fingers as if making a vow, "From now on, I will let you protect me when we go out, and I will never let you worry again."

Leng Feng smiled with satisfaction, "That's a good boy."

Before leaving, Li Qian remembered the plan to explore the haunted house in the western suburbs the next night, so she said to Leng Feng, "Brother soldier, tomorrow night at eight o'clock, you should call Leng Yu and the others, and we can all go together. It's good to have more people to keep us company."

Leng Feng replied, "You should ask the boss first. As long as he agrees, I have no problem."

"That's settled then, I'm going upstairs to rest for a while."

Leng Feng responded with a reply, and then went back to work.

After dinner, Li Qian watched a movie with Nangong Jin for a while, then told him that at 1:30 a.m., she was going with Leng Feng to the funeral home in the southern suburbs to retrieve materials for ghost candles.

Nangong Jin disagreed, "It's late at night, just let Leng Feng take Leng Yu and the others with him, why do you have to do it yourself? Aren't you tired?"

"A crematorium is a place where yin energy gathers, especially at two in the morning. If they encounter a ghost wall, they will be trapped there."

"Doesn't Leng Feng have a protective amulet?"

"Amulets are defensive equipment for close combat; they can only be used when a ghost gets close to you."

"Ghostly mazes" are a type of ghostly realm, ineffective against amulets. To break free, a Taoist practitioner must perform hand seals, chant incantations, and use ritual implements to defeat the ghost and dispel its ghostly realm.

Nangong Jin said, "Then I'll go with you."

"You have to go to work tomorrow, so you don't need to come with us."

Oh, and there's one more important thing I almost forgot. Tonight at 23 PM sharp, remember to hack into the funeral home's surveillance system and keep it running until 00 AM.

Nangong Jin ruffled her hair. "Don't worry, I remember."

Li Qian was worried that he would stay up late and have his sleep affected, so she added, "Brother Jin, could you set a timer to automatically black out the screen when you hack into their system, like an alarm clock?"

That way, you won't have to stay up all night anymore.

"It can be timed, but just to be on the safe side, in case the system has any vulnerabilities, I set an alarm on my phone first. This way, there is double insurance, so even if the program has a problem, I can fix it at any time."

Li Qian gave him a big kiss on the cheek. "Brother Jin, thank you. You worked all day and still helped me with the chores tonight."

Nangong Jin flicked her forehead. "Silly girl, why are you thanking me? I'm your man, helping you is my duty."

After a while, he remembered what had happened that afternoon and asked, "What did you go to see Fu Jingchen for today?"

Nangong Jin gently patted her back, his movements slow and gentle, as if he were petting a kitten.

At this moment, Li Qian was drowsy, which was when her psychological defenses were at their weakest.

She didn't intend to hide it from Nangong Jin, so she closed her eyes and said, "Just tell him about going to the haunted house in the western suburbs tomorrow night."

I was originally going to ask how the person I sent to the assassin training camp was doing, but I ran into Zhang San on the way and completely forgot about it.

Nangong Jin continued to ask her, "Don't you have any feelings for Fu Jingchen now?"

"I have no opinion. He's my second brother now."

Nangong Jin was skeptical. "Really?"
