"Little Lingzi is here?"

"Hello grandpa!"

"Oh dear, look at Ah Cheng, I've already discussed your wedding with your dad, and that brat suddenly said he has to go on a business trip for a while. All the important matters have been delayed. I'm so sorry, Xiao Lingzi. Whatever compensation you want, Grandpa will grant it to you."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yue guessed that Xiao Jia had deliberately told Grandpa Jing that Jing Yucheng had gone on a business trip, so as not to make the old man worry.

“What’s there to feel aggrieved about? I haven’t received my graduation certificate yet, so it’s not the right time to hold a wedding. Let’s wait until I get my graduation certificate and Jing Yucheng is not too busy before making any plans.”

"Compensation is too formal. I happen to have something I need your help with today."

Jingyang Sheng was amused when he heard this. So it was him they were looking for, not Acheng.

"Go ahead and tell me, as long as this old man can help, there's definitely no problem."

Ling Yue took the portrait of the old woman who haunted her in her dreams, drawn by Li Si, out of her bag and handed it to Jing Yangsheng.

"Grandpa, do you know anyone who can help us find out where this person is now?"

Jingyang Sheng picked up the drawing paper and looked at it, then looked up at Ling Yue.

Ling Yue was a little uneasy. Would Grandpa Jing ask her what she was doing? How should she tell him what she was doing...?

However, Jingyang Sheng quickly put away the portrait painting. "Xiao Lingzi, is this matter urgent?"

Ling Yue chuckled awkwardly, "Uh, I'm in a bit of a hurry, hehe."

"Alright, I'll arrange for someone to do it right away."

"Thank you grandpa!"

Ling Yue played with Wang Yuanyuan's son for a while longer before preparing to return to the Ghostly Realm to check on Li Si.

After saying goodbye to Jingyang Sheng, I drove to the Ghostly Human World.

After the last ride-hailing incident, she never dared to use that ride-hailing app again. She would drive herself whenever possible, and take public transportation if necessary.

Less than three kilometers from the Jing family's old residence, Ling Yue noticed a car following closely behind her.

I thought she was just a newbie back then, but let me show you what I'm capable of!

Ling Yue glanced around at her surroundings and mentally planned her route back to the Ghost Realm.

You'll come across an elevated roundabout on the way.

Ling Yue gave a wicked smile to the rearview mirror.

It's time to show the real technology!

The roundabout has six exits; if you're not careful and miss one, you'll only be able to keep going further and further away.

The original route back to the Ghostly Human World was to exit the bridge at the third exit. When passing the third exit, Ling Yue started to turn on her turn signal.

Just as I was about to hit the guardrail, I made a sharp turn and accelerated to the fourth exit, successfully getting off the bridge!

When I looked in the rearview mirror again, the car was no longer visible.

It worked!

Ling Yue dared not let her guard down and quickly arrived at the Ghostly Realm.

"The boss is back. Would you like one of our new light meals?"

When Li Sijun saw Ling Yue rushing into the store, she thought there was some kind of monster behind her.

"Thank you, Sister Jun."

Ling Yue first glanced at Su Shiming's bartending area. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, she quickly walked up to him and whispered, "Red Hair, someone was following me on my way back. Be careful later."

"How is Li Si?"

Su Shiming glanced at the door subconsciously. "Seventeen is watching this from upstairs, sleeping like a log."

"Your jade pendant is so magical? Where did you get it? It's not really an heirloom, is it?"

Su Shiming put down the wine glass he was wiping, and seeing that Ling Yue was quite curious, he deliberately kept her in suspense.

"If you let me follow Li Si's deal from start to finish, I'll tell you, how about it?"

This guy has an extraordinary business mind. Who did he learn it from?

"You're really good!"

"You're in charge here, so you're primarily responsible, okay?"

Su Shiming looked smug and cynical.

“That jade pendant was given to me by your husband. I had a serious illness when I was a child and almost died. Back then, Brother Cheng told me to keep this jade pendant close to my body. I haven’t even taken it off when I take a bath. Look how much I’ve sacrificed for Li Si this time!”

I knew he was talking nonsense, saying something about a family heirloom. But thinking about it, Jing Yucheng is only eight years older than Su Shiming. Where did he get such a magical jade pendant?

I miss him again...

After eating the simple meal prepared by Sister Jun, and seeing that Li Si was still sleeping soundly, Ling Yue went downstairs to help.

I had just gotten downstairs when I received a call from Jingyangsheng.

Such speed?

“Xiao Lingzi, the person you asked me to investigate passed away last month. He was executed, so it was easy to find him.”

"I'll have you send her detailed file to your phone later."

"Grandpa, you're amazing!"

"I'll thank you properly in person when I have time!"

Jingyang Sheng laughed after hearing this, "I saw the supplements you sent me. Don't spend so much money in the future. Taking the time to talk to this old man is the greatest thanks you can give me."

Ling Yue couldn't help but think that if Old Zhang heard these words, wouldn't he be so angry that he would foam at the mouth?

This is cutting off someone's money, but since we have to take care of the patriarch's business anyway, it's a win-win situation.

After hanging up the phone, I actually received a document on WeChat on my phone a short while later.

Ling Yue sent the file directly to the Ghost Human's work group before even opening it.

I also tagged Su Shiming, Chuxin, and Shiqi.

The file shows that the woman in the portrait is named Shen Cuilan, 53 years old, and she was sentenced to death for trafficking women and children.

Shen Cuilan was a member of a women and children trafficking gang twenty years ago. Her job was to lure victims and control them with the help of other accomplices. Most of the victims were sold to remote mountain areas.

It wasn't until twenty years later that their criminal gang was finally apprehended.

Shen Cuilan had a daughter who was sold when she was two years old.

He was executed just last month.

Ling Yue specifically checked her hometown, Yun County, which is thousands of kilometers away from their Hai City. They have absolutely no connection. Why is this Shen Cuilan still bothering Li Si?

Seeing that Li Si was sleeping soundly, it seemed I had to make a trip to Shen Cuilan's hometown.

In the ghost human work group

Ling Yue: I think Li Si and Shen Cuilan must have some kind of connection. I plan to make a trip to Shen Cuilan's hometown, Yun County.

Su Shiming: I'll be the one going. Didn't we agree that I'd be in charge of Li Si's case? You just stay here quietly.

A short while later, Su Shiming sent a private message to Ling Yue.

"Sister-in-law, I have a feeling that the person following you won't let this go. You'd better not go out recklessly, and if you do go out, you should bring someone with you."

Red Hair seems rebellious and unreliable, but he can be quite warm at times.
