The little crybaby in the group, the young master is a softie

Late at night, the Du Shi Can Fang glowed bluish-gray in the moonlight. The little ghosts sat in a circle made of broken porcelain pieces, tapping on the broken bowls and plates with their burnt knuckles and making vague cheers like young animals.

Lingling sat in the middle, swinging her legs like lotus roots. "Shh!" She pressed her fleshy palms to her lips. "If you keep making trouble, the rat demon will come!"

The little ghosts immediately covered their mouths and dug their jagged nails into their palms. They were all children who were devoured by fire when they were alive, and a hundred years later they still retained the habit of curling up before dying.

The charred boy squatted in the front row. His name was Tang Jiu, and he was only thirteen years old when he died. There was still some black blood on his twisted face, but when Lingling looked over, he straightened his spine in a proper manner.

"Now, all the big ghosts have been chopped into ashes!" Lingling shook the hairband she got from Shen Ran, and the red silk swept across the charred knees of the little ghosts, "As for the remaining bad guys... we'll have to rely on that fierce brother and the police uncle!

If they continue to be stupid, I will hit them on the head with my magic wand!" She raised the "magic wand" made of branches, with half of it still stuck on the top, which made her brother Yuanyuan giggle and his soft little body fell into his sister Tuantuan's arms.

Tuantuan shook his chubby fists and echoed in a baby voice, "The forbidden magic circle has been broken. You don't have to be trapped here anymore. Let's go back to the villa first. There are many children there."

Tang Jiu nodded happily, but soon hesitated again and said in ghost language: "But we are like this..."

Tuantuan said with a smile: "It's okay, I know magic and can help you become more beautiful!" As she spoke, she jumped to a high place and began to make seals with her two little hands.

"Brother Tang Jiu, you have to line up!" Yuanyuan stood on tiptoe and poked his shoulder, and the little kids immediately lined up in a crooked line.

Tang Jiu habitually gave way, holding onto his rotten sleeves and taking a few steps back, but Ling Ling grabbed him by the collar and said, "You're the oldest brother, you should be the first to change!"

Tuantuan, as Su Xiang's eldest daughter, perfectly inherited his strong genes. With Lu Jing's guidance, her overall cultivation is three times stronger than Lingling's.

She closed her eyes and muttered a spell, "Little light spot, change, change, bad, burn, disappear..."

A red halo gushed out from her palm, wrapping around Tang Jiu like melted honey. A luster appeared under the charred skin, translucent new flesh grew from the wound that had long been ulcerated, and the clothes burned by the fire actually re-woven gray and blue patterns.

"Wow! Brother Tang Jiu's hair is so black!" Yuanyuan clapped her hands and conjured up a rapeseed wreath out of thin air and put it on his head.

The mirror reflected a young boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes. His forehead was still stained with rouge that fell when Tuantuan cast a spell, but the corners of his mouth showed a firmness that was not that of a child.

"Thank you. Thank you..." Tang Jiu's Adam's apple rolled, and his throat, which had not spoken for a hundred years, felt like it was clogged with broken glass, and was dry and uncomfortable.

"Hehe~" Yuanyuan hugged Tang Jiu's neck with her little hands, "You're welcome, Brother Tang Jiu."

"You have to change too!" Tuantuan turned around and shouted to the other little ghosts.

……

Inside the apartment, Chen Yifan leaned against the door frame, the bandage sticking out crookedly from his collarbone, cigarette ash falling on the blood-soaked gauze.

He stared at Mu Yang's dark eye sockets and suddenly grinned: "Look at you, you look like a lost dog. Are you really scared by that brat?"

Mu Yang closed the door with his backhand, swallowing bitter water with his Adam's apple rolling. A half bottle of iodine was thrown on the floor of the living room, and the air was mixed with the smell of cigarettes and rotten medicine.

He watched Chen Yifan tear off the bandage again and frowned, "Let me help you change it."

"Don't touch me."

Chen Yifan dodged his hand, and shook the bottle between his scarred knuckles, not blinking as the alcohol poured onto his wound. "If you have something to say, just say it."

Mu Yang silently dug out a clean gauze from the drawer of the coffee table, "The director asked me to stop." He held down Chen Yifan's shoulder and forcibly bandaged it, "He said I would be fired if you continue to investigate."

"Oh, as expected." Chen Yifan smiled while holding a cigarette in his mouth, and the ash fell on the back of Mu Yang's hand. "The son of that old man works for the government, and he has already shut up the mouths in your bureau."

The gauze was soaked with blood so quickly that Mu Yang had to use more force to fix it.

"What should I do?"

Mu Yang raised his head and asked, his eyes fixed on Chen Yifan's profile. His expression was calm, but there was a hint of expectation in the depths of his eyes.

Chen Yifan put out his cigarette butt on the coffee table. "I'm a gangster! I'll chop down anyone who gets in my way! Your director told you to be a coward, but I'm determined to get the old man's underwear out.

My brother's life cannot be wasted! If the two sons of this old man dare to interfere, I will break their legs!"

"Okay! That's exactly what I want you to say!" Mu Yang became excited and punched Chen Yifan in the chest.

"what-!"

Chen Yifan screamed and glared at the other party: "You are trying to murder me!"

"Ouch, sorry, sorry, I got a little excited." Mu Yang quickly retracted his fist and apologized, then sighed:

"The bureau has forbidden us to investigate further. I have no helpers around me, so I have no choice but to ask you to help me. If we work together, we will definitely be able to get to the bottom of this matter."

Chen Yifan suddenly grabbed him by the back of the neck and pushed him towards him, "The police and the underworld teamed up to investigate a case? If I tell anyone about this, they'll all laugh their asses off... but I like it!"

"I checked Zhang Wenbin's schedule. He will be attending a charity party in a week. It must be a show. He will be traveling with someone who you are very familiar with."

"Who?"

"Gu Yuande, the founder of Gu's Pharmaceutical Group. He is also the second master of your Tianyan Society."

"Huh?" Chen Yifan was surprised. "Why bother investigating that? This Zhang Wenbin is hanging out with our Second Master. How can he be a good guy? We might as well just arrest him and interrogate him."

"Are you stupid?" Mu Yang stared at him, "We don't even have any witnesses or physical evidence yet! What if he bites back?

So we have to take this opportunity to observe secretly. You ask your second master to keep an eye on him. This way, we can work together from inside and outside, and we won't be afraid of not being able to catch him."

"Well, your idea is good." Chen Yifan nodded in agreement.

A week passed quickly. After finishing the college entrance examination, Su Yang was bored, so he ran to Tianyan Club and pestered Xiao Heidan, insisting that he take him with him to investigate the case.

However, the weirdness of this case was far beyond imagination. With Su Yang's skills, Xiao Heidan was worried that if something went wrong if he got involved, he would not be able to take the responsibility.

So no matter how hard Su Yang begged, Xiao Heidan never agreed to take him with him.

It happened that Gu Yuande, the second master of the Tianyan Society, was going to attend a charity gala. Su Yang immediately gave up pestering Xiao Heidan and turned around to beg Gu Yuande to take him to join in the fun.

"Second Grandpa, are you feeling bored lately? Take me out to play." Su Yang shook Gu Yuande's arm and acted like a spoiled child. "I promise to behave myself and never cause any trouble, okay?"

Gu Yuande was so amused that he couldn't close his mouth: "Okay, okay."

"Yeah! Second Grandpa loves me the most! I knew you were the best! I love Second Grandpa so much!"

Gu Yuande stretched out his hands to pinch Su Yang's cheeks and rubbed them gently: "You little brat, your mouth looks like it's covered with honey?"

"Because what I said is the truth." Su Yang grinned.

Gu Yuande laughed loudly: "Come on, I'll take you to see the world today."
