Ling Yue understood what they were talking about. Was this the nursing home that Grandpa Cheng was going to move to?

Just as she was about to go over and ask for clarification, Su Shiming gestured for her to continue eating.

Su Shiming picked up the most expensive wine from the stall he had ordered and walked to the next table.

"Brothers, calm down. We're all friends, why get angry? Come on, it's fate that we met. Whatever's bothering you, a drink will make everything alright!"

The four people were just excitedly expressing their views when a stranger suddenly appeared, causing them to instinctively become wary.

"Excuse me, young man, we don't drink with strangers, thank you."

This person rejected Su Shiming in a very formal and methodical manner. If it were anyone else, they definitely wouldn't have been able to bring themselves to ask again.

But who is Su Shiming? His skin is thicker than a city wall. He continued to greet him with a smile: "If you don't want to drink my wine, then don't. We came here to visit my grandfather's comrade-in-arms at the nursing home you mentioned. He just arrived at the nursing home, and we were worried about him, so we came to check on him."

"Excuse me, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation. We were at the next table, haha, I guess it's fate. I've come to ask for a drink and also to inquire about the nursing home. Is that alright? Sigh, my grandfather and Grandpa Cheng are old comrades-in-arms, and we have a great responsibility this time..."

The four men at the next table were clearly veterans, so when they heard that the little brother's maternal grandfather's old comrade-in-arms was also in the nursing home where their platoon leader worked, their vigilance softened a bit.

"What? This won't work. Should I call Grandpa Cheng to confirm? He works at the research institute and has worked diligently all his life, making many contributions to the country."

This completely dispelled their wariness. One of the older brothers said, "Young man, please have a seat."

Upon hearing this, Su Shiming thought, "That works!" and said, "Alright."

Then, he actually started chatting with the four men at the next table, and the topic even extended to aerospace...

Ling Yue, listening from the side, was repeatedly astonished; Su Shiming's mouth was truly something else.

However, from their conversation, it was learned that these four middle-aged men were once comrades-in-arms, and their old platoon leader now lives in a nursing home.

For the past few days, I've been getting a fever for no apparent reason. It's lasted for two days in a row, and I've been to the hospital for a thorough checkup, but they found nothing seriously wrong with my health and couldn't find the cause of the fever.

They were quite agitated. It was almost lunchtime, and they started talking about it at a roadside barbecue stall. Someone suggested finding a fortune teller to check if they were possessed or something.

Their investigation revealed that not only their old platoon leader had experienced this situation at the hospital, but several other elderly people had the same experience.

They also come here to drink their sorrows and vent their frustrations.

"It seems Master Chu was right after all!"

"There's definitely something wrong with that nursing home."

Chu Ping leisurely sipped the most expensive local beer, and to be honest, it tasted pretty good.

"Boss, another bottle, please."

Ling Yue: ……

The big shot is really not being polite.

Judging from everyone's demeanor at the roadside stall, they seemed to be enjoying their meal. They chatted casually and ate slowly. It would be better to go to the nursing home closer to midnight.

After finishing the bottle of wine he had brought with him, Su Shiming said goodbye to the four men and returned to their table with a smug look on his face.

"Did you all hear that?"

"How about that? Aren't I awesome?"

Ling Yue: ……

I think you're getting a bit too cocky. Don't you even look around? Who here deserves to be called "young master"?

Well, Red Hair's mouth is really sharp; he deserves praise.

"Red Hair is really something!"

"Here, here's a skewer of lamb kidneys as a reward for you."

Su Shiming heard that the lamb kidney red wine was starting to turn red, after all, he was four or five years younger than Ling Yue.

"You woman are really..."

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Jing Yucheng kindly reminded them, "It's almost time."

Su Shiming glanced at the sports watch on his wrist. Sure enough, it would be midnight in about half an hour.

The four of them got up and saw that most of the tables around them had already been vacated. The barbecue stall owner was probably about to close up shop. Humans were about to enter their sleep, but some things could come out and indulge in debauchery.

I arrived at the nursing home by taxi just as midnight was breaking.

The entire nursing home was plunged into darkness. Ling Yue had previously learned their rest schedule, which was from 9:30 to 10:00.

"Red Hair, did you find out which room the platoon leader of those veterans is in?"

"That's necessary."

“I’m friends with them now, we’ve even added each other on WeChat, so Grandpa Cheng will have someone to look after him in this nursing home.”

"By the way, this old platoon leader has killed quite a few bad guys. He has a lot of yang energy, so ordinary ghosts can't get close to him, right?"

This was also something Ling Yue couldn't understand.

Chu Ping promptly provided an answer: "How can you be so sure that the culprit here is a ghost?"

Su Shiming and Ling Yue were once again dumbfounded; this was something they hadn't expected at all.

However, Ling Yue remembered the bright and crazy Duo Wei from before, a white fox...

"You mean the one causing trouble at this nursing home is..."

Jing Yucheng put his arm around Ling Yue's shoulder. "Baby, we'll only know what it is after we see it."

It really is.

However, knowing that most of the actions within the Bureau of Extraordinary Events were composed of "spiritual" actions, she really couldn't believe that anything more incredible had happened.

"That's right, with two of you super experts here, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Ling Yue smiled at Jing Yucheng. This guy really is a husband who gives you an overwhelming sense of security.

Su Shiming couldn't help but roll his eyes. Hmph, just wait and see, one day he'll become a very powerful master!

Generally speaking, they can't even get into the nursing home during this period.

Su Shiming then started to gloat again, "Am I particularly wise?"

"I specifically learned this invisibility talisman from Zhenyangzi of Xuanqing Temple!"

Ling Yue was truly impressed with him this time. He was a double agent, yet he didn't hinder others from learning new skills. His mentality alone was admirable.

"If he finds out that you're contacting people to go undercover, I wonder if he'll kill you."

Su Shiming: ...

"You really know how to bring up the most sensitive topics..."

"Stop talking, we're almost there."

Chu Ping stopped them from whispering to each other.

Ling Yue discovered that outstanding people are usually quiet, but they are really dedicated during work hours.

Chu Ping went into the old platoon leader's room first.

This nursing home is indeed the best-equipped nursing home in Linshi. It even has some basic physiotherapy equipment. It occupies one room, and then there is a small living room and dining room.

When I got to the bedroom, I saw an elderly man with white hair fast asleep.

Ling Yue did not see any traces of ghosts on him.

On the surface, he looks no different from a normal person.

However, upon closer inspection, his face was unusually pale, devoid of any color.

"Don't you guys think his complexion looks abnormal?"

As Ling Yue spoke, she stepped forward and reached out to check his breath.

Breathing is normal!

Chu Ping didn't speak, but instead opened the bedroom window a little, letting in a gentle breeze that brought a touch of coolness to the stuffy room.

"he came."

Chu Ping didn't lean out, but suddenly said this.

Ling Yue quickly looked around the room, but there was nothing there...

Who exactly is this "he"?

Su Shiming asked, puzzled, "Master, what's going on? This..."

"Don't speak, stay here, I'll be right back."

Chu Ping gave the instructions, calmly opened the entire window, and then jumped out...

Su Shiming hurriedly chased after her, intending to reach out and pull the blonde woman who was about to jump off the building back up.

He put half of his body out, but saw nothing!

Did this person just jump down and then disappear instantly?

This is the eighth floor!

Su Shiming gave Jing Yucheng a pleading look, but Jing Yucheng didn't look at him at all. Instead, he was observing the platoon leader's room and seemed very interested in a glass shelf in the room, staring at the things inside.

Unable to get a response, Su Shiming hurriedly tried to run downstairs to see what was going on.

Didn't she say we should stay here and not talk?
