Shocking! The master of metaphysics is actually the ancestor of ghosts and monsters!

Shanshan? She hasn't contacted me recently. Nangong Qian is used to her disappearing as soon as she gets a boyfriend.

"Didn't she have a boyfriend?"

The implication is that it's perfectly normal not to contact them proactively.

“But my brother had an accident, and she never contacted me.”

Shanshan might disappear when she's in a relationship, but she's still very clear-headed when it comes to important matters.

"She didn't?"

"No."

It was Nangong Qian's turn to be surprised.

This shouldn't be happening. "Go to the Lin family."

Nangong Qian made a decisive decision.

After chatting for a while, the two exchanged Jing Li's contact information and then left in a grand manner with their entourage.

Completely forget that there was someone who could predict the future.

However, since they didn't ask, Jingli wouldn't meddle or waste her energy.

After becoming familiar with some aspects of the modern world, Jingli also gained an understanding of its framework.

In this world, spiritual energy is scarce and difficult for people to utilize. However, it is not impossible to absorb it. Most people cannot find a way to absorb it and can only use spiritual energy by relying on jade stones that are naturally imbued with spiritual energy or some rare magical treasures.

As for Chu Xia, the darling of Heaven, she has her own special advantages bestowed upon her by Heaven.

They can use spiritual power from birth and are born with the ability to absorb and store spiritual energy for later use.

It's not that she absorbs it; it's just that the Heavenly Dao bestows spiritual energy upon her.

She didn't need to find the method herself.

Fate is just that unreasonable.

Ah, a strange glint flashed in Jing Li's eyes.

She slowly and methodically tidied up the bowls and chopsticks on the table.

I'm getting ready to go downstairs to throw out the trash.

When she got downstairs, she looked at the person walking out of the small car shed without any surprise—Lu Yize.

......

The two were sitting in a coffee shop in a nearby shopping mall.

"Miss Liang, you don't seem surprised to see me."

Lu Yize smiled and took the menu from the waiter, placing it in front of Jing Li.

"Are you police officers so free?" Jing Li glanced at the menu and casually ordered a coffee.

There was no answer to Lu Yize's question.

Lu Yize was taken aback; it seemed she really knew his identity.

He and she had never met before, so how did she recognize him, and why was she not surprised at all when she first saw him?

"It's alright." Lu Yize smiled slightly and said familiarly, "If you don't mind, I'll call you Jingli."

Jing Li replied politely, "Whatever."

"Grandma mentioned you last time. She said she met a pretty girl, but unfortunately she didn't get her contact information."

Lu Yize started chatting casually, talking at length.

With his chin resting on his hand, his handsome face was full of smiles, seemingly gentle, but in reality, there was a subtle, probing look hidden in his eyes.

"Later, Grandma checked the home surveillance footage and found that the little girl was not in the footage, which made Grandma very worried."

Jing Li remained expressionless and asked earnestly, "Then why is that?"

The way she asked so earnestly startled Lu Yize.

Isn't this the kind of question he should be asking her?

He was so speechless that he didn't know how to say the rest of his sentence.

Just then, the waiter brought him coffee, which eased his awkward situation.

"Just kidding."

As expected of a narcotics police officer, he quickly realized that Jing Li had gotten him into a trap.

"Didn't you find me by checking the security camera footage?" Jing Li retorted, her clear eyes flickering. "You should check if your home security cameras are broken, instead of coming to ask me."

She saw the security camera footage at Lu Linghua's house and realized that some things had been tampered with, but she never imagined there were so many shady characters in this society...

She was careless.

Jing Li took a sip of coffee, feeling utterly miserable inside, but remained outwardly calm. She looked down at the dark, indistinct thing in front of her with a puzzled expression. "You're going to have a lot of bad luck coming up."

I was caught off guard when I heard something that seemed to be cursing me.

Lu Yize's hand, which was suspended in mid-air, suddenly froze.

He just came over to ask her some questions; after all, it was truly unbelievable that she could disappear from under the camera's view.

It's just a question; there's no need to curse him.

He felt his attitude was pretty good...

Lu Yize smiled awkwardly, quickly regaining his composure. "I apologize for the slight offense, but you didn't need to curse me."

He rubbed his forehead, looking troubled, and chuckled, teasingly saying, "Grandma, you even said you wanted me to pursue you."

Jing Li looked up at Lu Yize, "Chasing me?"

Seeing the girl's earnest yet confused expression, Lu Yize, unusually intrigued, deliberately asked, "Yes, do you accept my advances?"

He wanted to laugh, but he held it in.

He assumed that Jing Li's delayed response was due to her consideration of his question.

Unexpectedly, the girl's next words caught him completely off guard.

"I didn't steal anything, why are you chasing me?"

She thought about it for a long time; she had always followed the rules of this world.

I didn't do anything illegal, and I didn't use drugs either.

She did everything a good person should do, and she couldn't remember what she shouldn't have done.

“Cough…cough!”

Lu Yize choked.

He knew the girl had misunderstood, so he changed the subject, asking, "How did you know who I am?"

“Yes, it counts,” Jingli answered truthfully.

Lu Yize looked at her incredulously, "You calculated that? So you also calculated my bad luck?"

As a police officer, he still couldn't believe that the incident last time was orchestrated by this young girl.

Jing Li waved her hand, "This isn't it."

"So that's a curse on me? Because my words made you unhappy?" Lu Yize smiled gently, his eyes sparkling.

The little girl is kind of funny.

The girl glanced at him, giving him an expression as if he were looking at someone mentally challenged, and said, "Of course not."

Lu Yize was made to question the meaning of life by that casual glance.

He didn't say anything!

He's a policeman, after all. How can a little girl doubt his intelligence?

"Transfer the money!" the girl said curtly, leaving Lu Yize completely baffled.

"what?"

"You just paid for the coffee, let's split the bill."

She learned this from a TV series, AA.

"No need, I should thank you. Although I don't know how you knew last time, you really saved me."

Lu Yize refused.

I apologize if I have offended anyone with my words today.

He didn't intend to make things difficult for the girl today; it was purely out of curiosity.

Thinking about what her friend had told her about her family background, she felt even more annoyed that she might have said something too harsh.

"Your grandma already paid for what you did last time, so don't be shy."

I ate their meal last time, so we're even.

Lu Yize will have to bear the consequences himself.

"No need, it's just the price of a cup of coffee. You're not going to talk to me for ages, are you?"

Lu Yize looked at the earnest little girl and found it a bit amusing.

Jing Li stood up, no longer refusing. "Thank you for the coffee. I can tell you something, although it's not very tasty."

"Remember to wear your breast protector when you go on a mission."
