After calming Ningxia down, Ling Yue drove her home and told her to be sure to tell her if anything happened.

Then we drove to the hospital, which is a VIP ward, and we hadn't even had a chance to properly experience it yet.

Ling Yue was lying in the hospital bed. What a surreal day it had been! She was getting sleepy when she heard a knock on the door.

My drowsiness was about to set in, but the knocking on the door interrupted it.

Ling Yue reluctantly got out of bed, opened the ward door, and was surprised to see Jing Yucheng.

Hurry up and let the big spender in, and greet him with a smile.

"Why are you here?"

"I heard you were discharged from the hospital this morning?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yue realized that this was the person who had come to see her that morning.

Ling Yue said awkwardly, "No, no, there was an emergency at school this morning, so I went there. Is there anything you need me for?"

Seeing that Jing Yucheng remained silent, as if he wouldn't utter a word no matter how hard she tried, Ling Yue decided to stop talking to him and continue lying motionless on the hospital bed.

Jing Yucheng didn't leave either. He casually found a sofa far from the hospital bed, sat down, and took out his phone to reply to work emails.

With such a powerful figure sitting in the room, it was really disruptive to her rest. Ling Yue glanced at Jing Yucheng several times out of the corner of her eye. He looked really good when he was in work mode!

She saw that he was wearing the same hospital gown as her. His injuries were more serious than Ling Yue's. When he rolled down, he instinctively hugged Ling Yue, which was like adding an extra layer of protection for her.

Even though his hand was wrapped in gauze, it didn't stop him from frantically pressing buttons on the phone screen.

Driven by curiosity, Ling Yue slowly moved to his side, glanced at his phone screen, and was immediately stunned.

She thought he was busy with work, but when she saw the interface of a popular game, Jing Yucheng's fingers were flying across the screen because he was frantically firing with Lu Ban No. 7...

Ling Yue rolled her eyes, but couldn't help watching the battle.

Lu Ban No. 7 was repeatedly killed by the enemy in the bushes due to positioning mistakes.

She would have been so angry she'd uninstall the game! But Jing Yucheng remained remarkably calm, completely unfazed, and got up to continue fighting…

This person must be a fake!

Now that I've saved him, will he really be able to die peacefully in his old age a hundred years from now?

What went wrong? What would have happened if she and Lu Boqing hadn't been able to save him? After someone like him, who defied the Book of Life and Death, dies, would the Underworld take care of him?

"Mr. Jing, don't you suspect that someone is deliberately trying to harm you?"

Actually, he already knew when Ling Yue quietly came up behind him, so he wasn't startled when he heard her talking to him.

"I've already ordered people to investigate, and we'll know the answer soon."

Jing Yucheng spoke casually, his eyes filled with certainty.

Is this what successful people call confidence?

Jing Yucheng quickly finished the game, then stood up and asked, "How is the wound healing?"

"It's nothing, just a few bruises, but no bleeding. Yours is more serious."

After asking his question, Jing Yucheng left as if he had completed a task...

Now I can finally get a good night's sleep, but just as I was getting sleepy, Lu Boqing came back.

"So soon? I thought you were going back to rest and recuperate!"

The key point is that there are no injuries on his body anymore; he has already fully recovered.

“I went straight to my dad, and he fixed it up for me in no time.”

It seems that having a powerful father is important everywhere.

"How's your friend?"

"I was just about to tell you. I took her home, and I noticed that the red light above her head has disappeared. Does that mean she'll be alright from now on?"

Lu Boqing thought for a moment: "Not necessarily, it just means I won't have suicidal thoughts for the time being."

“Jing Yucheng just came to see me. This sugar daddy looks cold, but he’s actually quite nice.”

"I just wanted to talk to you about Jing Yucheng. I checked some literature, and it seems that someone might be trying to possess him."

Ling Yue was completely confused; this was entirely outside her comprehension.

"Um, what does 'possession' mean?"

"Simply put, it's about a ghost quickly entering a dying person's body after the soul leaves the body in order to possess the body and return to life. That car accident was a setup orchestrated by someone who knew his daily routine and knew where he would be at that time. There was probably someone nearby waiting for his soul to leave the body that day."

Ling Yue was so shocked that her eyes and mouth were wide open. There was such a thing?

"So you mean this is some kind of evil magic? If everyone could do this, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

"Not everyone has this ability; it's a forbidden technique, so I must find out who's behind this!"

Lu Boqing seemed to hate this kind of thing, and his tone became more forceful.

“I just reminded him that someone probably wants to harm him, and he said he’s already investigating, as if he’s certain he can find the killer.”

"That's perfect, let's take a two-pronged approach."

Ling Yue asked timidly, "If we catch the culprit, will we also receive a reward of merit points?"

Lu Boqing looked at me with an expression as if I were mentally challenged: "We not only have to save people, but also resolve the crisis. We have to be responsible for the mission to the end."

It means she's shallow, bro. You don't have any survival pressure, do you? She's living on a countdown every day.

Seeing that Ling Yue was fidgeting and not saying anything, Lu Boqing knew what she was worried about: "Open the talisman and check your merits."

Ling Yue didn't even have the courage to open it. How could arithmetic within three digits be difficult for her? What was she looking at? She had already calculated it in her mind countless times.

Saving Jing Yucheng earned 100 merit points, and buying the tracking ability cost 69 merit points, leaving only 31 merit points...

Seeing that she was hesitant to open the phone, Lu Boqing took the phone, unlocked it by scanning her face, opened the scribbled image, and showed it to her.

Ling Yue could hardly believe her eyes!

She saw that her account balance was 131 merits and wondered if she was seeing things. She checked again and it was real!

what's the situation?

"When you said you saw a red light above your friend's head, I had already accepted another bounty mission for you."

Ling Yue's gaze towards Lu Boqing changed; what an amazing teammate!

So excited and grateful, I couldn't help but squat down, stretch out my hands, and give Lu Boqing's chubby little face a good rub. And I must say, his skin is so smooth!

"let go……"

That fierce look in his eyes is really not endearing.

"Qingqing, it is truly my greatest honor to be your partner in this life!"

"That's what it is."

"Tell me, what's your wish? Do you want to go to an amusement park? Do you have any favorite figurines? Or what kind of fancy meal would you like to eat?"

"childish!"
