After being reborn, she went on a killing spree in both the Yin and Yang realms.
Chapter 202 Meeting the Filial Sons
Old Cheng had lived for so long, how could he not know that this young girl was just trying to cook him a good meal because she thought he hadn't eaten well? Otherwise, they could have just gone out to eat, which would have been much easier.
Even after a long and tiring journey, he still thinks of me; it's rare to see a young person like him.
So the old man got up and walked to the still relatively intact wine cabinet, and took out a bottle of national liquor that he had treasured for a long time.
Seeing this, Su Shiming quickly got up to join him. Upon seeing the wine, he laughed and said, "Grandpa Cheng, you're really going all out!"
"To be honest, we own a bar, and I'm a bartender. Your drink would cost at least five figures on the market, right?"
Ling Yue didn't want the old man to spend so much money. "Grandpa Cheng, why don't we just forget about it and have a simple home-cooked meal? You can use this wine to entertain your more important guests, hehe."
Old Cheng chuckled, a rare occurrence for him. "You're my most valued guests right now. Who knows, maybe one day I won't be able to drink with you anymore..."
"Pah, pah, pah, what unlucky things to say! Come on, come on, it's a rare occasion for us all to get together today, so we must eat and drink well."
Su Shiming helped find a decanter, wine glasses, and a bottle opener, and poured wine for everyone.
"Come, let's raise a glass to everyone's reunion!"
Halfway through the meal, Ling Yue heard the sound of a key opening the door. She wondered if someone was going to break in and rob her.
As soon as he stood up, a group of people walked into the house.
Ling Yue had never seen such a scene before, and she was so shocked that she stood motionless.
"Dad, so what the security guard said was true! We didn't believe it. How could someone as rational as you be so easily fooled!"
"It hasn't been that long, and they're already eating and drinking?"
Among the group, the man who looked slightly younger spoke very quickly and went straight up to pull Old Cheng up from his chair.
This person looked to be about the same age as Chen Wenli, and was dressed quite respectably, especially his slicked-back hair, which was firmly fixed on his head and must have been carefully styled.
"Yes, Dad, you're even going to open such good wine!"
The older man spoke bluntly, "Who are you people? Get lost, or we'll call the police. These scammers are really clever these days!"
Su Shiming immediately objected. How could he be accused of being a liar just for having a nice meal?
"Who are you calling a liar? Don't think you can make false accusations just because you're older!"
As soon as Su Shiming stepped forward, another young man of similar age immediately stepped forward as well.
"What's wrong with me talking to you? Is what my older brother said wrong?"
"This is our home, and we have the right to tell you to get out!"
Old Cheng couldn't take it anymore and roared, "Shut up, all of you!"
"What do you know! They've come to see my friends, so put away your petty thoughts."
Ling Yue had been watching the newcomers the whole time; these must be Grandpa Cheng's five sons.
From the moment they entered, she sensed a strong aura of menace.
However, no ghosts were seen possessing them.
But at least one thing is certain: one of them must have had contact with ghosts.
Being surrounded by malevolent energy can make a person irritable and unable to control their emotions. In severe cases, it can even lead to illegal or disorderly conduct, or even to accidentally injure others.
This is not a good time for communication.
"Grandpa Cheng, we didn't know we would cause you any unnecessary trouble, so we'll be going now. See you at the funeral tomorrow."
Ling Yue gave Su Shiming a wink, then pulled Jing Yucheng along, intending to walk out.
But after taking only a couple of steps, three large men blocked his way.
"What? You think you can just leave after fooling our old man?"
"How do we know if you've stolen any important items?"
Jing Yucheng stepped forward, shielding Ling Yue behind him. "What? Are you planning to search her?"
One of the men said, "It's not impossible. After all, we have a lot of valuable things in our house. Don't you think so, sir?"
Old Cheng never expected them to go this far, becoming less and less like his sons...
"You bastards! What nonsense are you spouting! What right do you have to search someone? That's illegal!"
As Old Cheng spoke, he began to cough violently, repeatedly pounding his chest with one hand.
Don't get angry!
His body was trembling, and he was about to collapse. Ling Yue rushed over to support him and helped him to the sofa to rest.
Throughout the entire process, none of Grandpa Cheng's five sons came forward to take care of the old man, as if they hadn't seen him at all.
Su Shiming also sensed the murderous aura emanating from them. It seemed that he couldn't reason with these people and needed to stretch his muscles.
"You two step back a bit. Today I'm going to teach these unfilial sons a lesson on behalf of Grandpa Cheng."
Su Shiming said this to Jing Yucheng and Chu Ping.
Even after all this commotion, Chu Ping is still sitting in his original spot, leisurely eating his meal...
Ling Yue: ……
That's true. This guy has lived for so long, he's probably seen even more melodramatic family dramas, so this is child's play for him.
Jing Yucheng frowned. He didn't really want to complicate things so much. Why resort to violence when money can solve the problem?
But seeing Su Shiming's eager look, he didn't want to spoil his mood, so he took out his phone and started replying to work messages.
Damn it, I'm known for being ruthless when it comes to catching ghosts, so dealing with a few mortals is a piece of cake for me.
And it really happened in just a few minutes. Of the five people who were just so arrogant, three of the younger ones were taken down and begged for mercy. The two older ones were so frightened that they apologized repeatedly without Su Shiming lifting a finger.
People say that force can't solve problems, but it's most effective against those who bully the weak and fear the strong.
After all, these five "filial sons" would still need to put on a good show for their mother tomorrow, so Su Shiming intentionally left them with an unblemished face.
"Are you leaving or not?"
Su Shiming was too lazy to waste his energy on them and simply told them to get lost.
Upon hearing this, the five men immediately fled in panic, supporting each other as they left.
Ling Yue wanted to figure out why the old lady's sons had such a strong aura of malevolence. So, after helping Grandpa Cheng tidy up the house, watching the old man take his medicine, and helping him to his bedroom to rest, they left Grandpa Cheng's house.
"Is Red Hair not full?"
"Come on, I'll take you out for a big meal."
Ling Yue did some research and found a private kitchen with good food and good privacy.
The three of them took another taxi to a private venue and continued eating and drinking.
After all the dishes were served, Ling Yue said quietly, "Did you also sense the ominous aura emanating from Grandpa Cheng's five sons?"
Although I didn't get a response from them, I think they did.
"But I didn't see any ghosts possessing them, Master Chu. What could be the reason for their situation?"
After all, he has been dealing with ghosts for far longer than anyone else here!
"It's very simple. They have a ghost in their house. If ordinary people are exposed to it for a long time, the evil energy on their bodies will become stronger and stronger."
"So that's how it is! Humans and ghosts are indeed destined to be different!"
Su Shiming remarked as he sipped his beverage.
Ling Yue: ……
You've even used the excuse that humans and ghosts are on different paths.
"The old lady said that their son had a bad relationship with them and never took care of them when they were sick and hospitalized."
"Could it be related to the ghost being worshipped here?"
Chu Ping thought for a moment and replied, "Not necessarily, it depends on what kind of thing they are worshipping."
Ling Yue suggested, "Should we go and find out what's going on?"
Su Shiming excitedly sharpened his knife, "Little sister-in-law, you really are my mouth substitute!"
Ling Yue ignored the red-haired boy and instead pondered how to find what they were worshipping.
Right now, they're new here and probably can't even find anyone's house. Of all the superpowers she has, only her tracking ability is really useful, but she needs to know the birth dates of all five of them. Should she bother Grandpa Cheng again?
Jing Yucheng kept looking at Ling Yue, knowing what was going on in her little head.
"Baby, would you like some ice cream?"
Normally, Ling Yue would have excitedly said she wanted it, but now she had no appetite...
"Don't look so sad, I have a way to let you know their location soon."
Do you still want ice cream?
