Su Shiming was fed up: "Hey you two, can you stop showing off your love in front of a single guy like me? Please get down to business."

His words made Ling Yue feel embarrassed.

He cleared his throat and began to get down to business.

"Your brother is a bartender?"

"Hmm, it seems like I learned it from the family chef."

OK, the family chef.

Someone even claimed to be a professional.

That's really professional.

Without further ado, I ended Jing Yucheng's WeChat video call.

Ling Yue had already taken out her phone to prepare to post the job advertisement.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Su Shiming quickly stepped forward to stop it.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about our chef. Our chef is very famous. He was hired from abroad. He has all kinds of certificates. He's an all-around master chef!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yue continued to study the recruitment software, wondering how to edit the hiring requirements.

Su Shiming became anxious instead.

"How about this, let's put it to the test and see what it's really like?"

This guy is really ruthless; he even compared himself to a mule and a horse.

"Officially opening in five days, shall I go check it out then?"

Seeing Ling Yue's suppressed laughter, Su Shiming belatedly realized what he had said...

"Fine, Ling Yue, you just wait."

Haha, you're not calling me "little sister-in-law" anymore?

……

Ling Yue ultimately didn't tell Seventeen about Zhang's mother in person, but only left her a message on WeChat.

Tell her that Zhang's mother only has three days left to live.

In the following days, Zhang Ruonan and Su Shiming were both discharged from the hospital, and Zhang's mother passed away on the third day.

That day, Ling Yue went to the hospital early in the morning, thinking of saying a final goodbye to her.

Before they even reached the inpatient department, they saw Seventeen running out, with Zhang's mother's ghost following closely behind.

Seventeen kept glancing behind him, as if someone was chasing him relentlessly.

Surprisingly, it was Su Shiming who chased after them.

"Seventeen? What's this?"

Ling Yue called out to her, wanting to ask what was going on. As soon as Seventeen saw Ling Yue, she hid behind her as if she had seen a savior.

"Sister Lingyue, please save us! A madman is trying to harm Zhang's mother!"

At the critical moment, Su Shiming saw the target ghost hide behind Ling Yue.

I was a little surprised. Did they know each other?

"Little sister-in-law?"

"Excuse me, could you move aside? I'm doing a quest!"

Ling Yue's temples throbbed as soon as she heard him mention doing a mission.

It seems like none of his tasks are very good.

The first time they met was when he wanted to collect Zhang Lei's ghost.

The second time was at Baiyun Temple, where she captivated Ningxia.

What kind of trouble will he cause this time?

Ling Yue crossed her arms and blocked Su Shiming's way.

"Tell me, what heinous task are you planning to undertake this time?"

Su Shiming: ...

“Our Xuanqing Temple is a prestigious and righteous sect. My master is Lu Haotian, the vice president of the Taoist Association. How can you say that he is committing a heinous crime!”

It seems this kid is still stubbornly clinging to his old ways.

"A reputable sect? Would a reputable sect use soul-capturing on a perfectly healthy living person? Would a reputable sect use violence to exorcise ghosts?"

"If I'm not mistaken, are you planning to harm Zhang's mother's ghost?"

Ling Yue pointed to the ghost of Zhang's mother behind her.

"How did you know? My master gave the task directly in the work group, and I just happened to be at this hospital processing my discharge."

"Su Shiming, you're not a child anymore. Don't you even have the ability to distinguish right from wrong and good from evil?"

"Have you investigated Zhang Mama's deeds? She was the director of a welfare home before she died. She saved countless children abandoned by their parents and devoted herself to raising them. Her life was a complete success."

"Her soul is shining with golden light, are you blind?"

This was the first time Su Shiming had heard Ling Yue call him by his name and speak to him so sternly.

Although not exactly gentle, he is generally kind and approachable, aside from occasional bickering.

"Sister-in-law, why are you so angry? Our Xuanqing Temple is known for its strong execution and military-style management, so we just habitually carry out missions."

He even started to feel wronged.

"Then let me tell you clearly now, I'm keeping Zhang Mama safe today. If you have nothing else to do, go and get discharged and go home to rest."

Su Shiming stayed where he was and carefully considered what Ling Yue had said.

I think that makes a lot of sense.

So he moved closer to Ling Yue and whispered, "Sister-in-law, I can pretend I didn't see her soul, but I can't guarantee that the other fellow disciples won't come looking for her. You should help her pass on to the afterlife as soon as possible."

I knew that Red Hair wasn't a bad person at heart.

"Okay, do you want me to call your cousin to pick you up?"

Su Shiming waved his hands repeatedly after hearing this, saying, "No need, no need. I'm already a grown man, I wouldn't dare trouble such a busy person."

He was mainly worried that his cousin would become too busy and forget about family, so he quickly tried to find a way to save face.

Su Shiming's reminder is correct; the entire Xuanqing Temple's target now is Zhang Mama.

We must get her away from here immediately; let's go to Baiyun Temple to find our master.

"Seventeen, we need to get to Baiyun Temple to take shelter right away. You heard what Red Hair said, right? Anyway, it's not safe here, let's go."

Ling Yue boarded the car with the spirits of Seventeen and Zhang's mother.

I had just driven my car out of the hospital's underground parking garage and onto the elevated highway.

Ling Yue saw through the rearview mirror that a car was following her.

They were about to catch up with their car!

"Seventeen, fasten your seatbelts and hold on tight!"

Ling Yue slammed on the gas pedal, accelerating forward.

Sure enough, the car accelerated as well.

Moreover, they seem to have realized they've been discovered and are determined to force Ling Yue to stop.

My sister got her driver's license through real exams!

Ling Yue had a sudden inspiration and changed lanes several times in a row.

A chase scene has been playing out on the elevated highway.

After getting off the highway, Ling Yue changed her route, wanting to take a shortcut to Baiyun Temple.

We're almost there, less than five kilometers away. Once we reach Baiyun Temple, we'll be safe.

To Ling Yue's utter surprise, just as she was thinking of taking a shortcut through the side road, a car suddenly appeared at the intersection of the side road ahead, blocking their way.

The car that had been following them blocked their escape route.

Ling Yue was forced to stop the car...
