Chapter 1119: Ghost Subst.i.tute, Xiao Ningjin Wants the Jade Pendant
The four of them were in a holding cell at the police station at that moment. However, they had probably narrowly escaped death tonight, and they stared at the police officer guarding the door with especial peace of mind. They didn’t make a fuss and sat obediently on the floor inside the cell.
It was just that the four of them were still worried about Wei Panyang, s.h.i.+ Ran and Jin Ming. As for Fang Yinglong, they felt that he had bad luck. Even if he really was fine after this, they felt that given the trauma that his face had given them tonight, they wouldn’t have much interaction with him in the future.
“Ah Duo, Ningjin, what if the police accuse us of murder?” Chang Hao couldn’t help but say worriedly. “And what if that ghost finds us again? We should hurry and contact Master Chi!”
At the mention of “Master Chi,” Chang Hao was no longer as indifferent as before and was especially respectful. However, when he mentioned the word “ghost,” Chang Hao couldn’t help but s.h.i.+ver. He was afraid that as long as that thing wasn’t dead, it would chase them here and kill them. Chang Hao hurriedly touched the talismans in his pocket, and was just barely able to relax. He regretted not believing Master Chi’s words back then and not buying a few more talismans, no, a jade pendant, like what Jiang Duo wore around his neck.
“F*ck, why did they take our phones?” Chang Hao touched his pocket and remembered that he had just handed in his phone, and couldn’t help but complain.
Chang Hao felt that the four of them were really unlucky tonight. Not only did they encounter a ghost, they were also detained at the police station.
Compared with the agitated Chang Hao, the other three were relatively calm.
The calmest person was Jiang Duo. Even if that ghost thing really came looking for him, he wasn’t afraid.
As for Xiao Ningjin and Xiong Luoying, they kept looking at the jade pendant around Jiang Duo’s neck, especially Xiao Ningjin, who stared at it especially seriously. His eyes never left the jade pendant around Jiang Duo’s neck, and his gaze was especially profound.
It wasn’t that Jiang Duo didn’t see his buddies drooling over his jade pendant. When Xiao Ningjin subconsciously glanced at him again, he hurriedly covered the jade pendant around his neck and stuffed it into his s.h.i.+rt, pretending to be impatient. “F*ck, Old Xiao, why are you staring at my jade pendant? No matter how many times you look at it, it’s not yours, it’s mine!”
The other three also had the same thoughts about the jade pendant, and continually snuck looks at it. They choked at Jiang Duo’s words.
Xiong Luoying didn’t give up and suddenly said nicely, “Ah Duo, we’re brothers, after all. Why don’t we take turns wearing this jade pendant every night?”
As soon as Xiong Luoying said that, Chang Hao immediately echoed him, indicating that what Xiong Luoying said made sense. Without this jade pendant, they wouldn’t dare sleep at all tonight.
Jiang Duo refused without even needing to think. He clutched the jade pendant that was inside his s.h.i.+rt tightly and said, “You two are thinking too much. This is my treasure. Didn’t you not believe me and Yunfeng back then? Didn’t you say that Master Chi is a swindler? You didn’t even want those talismans. Fine, give them back now.”
The other three were embarra.s.sed by Jiang Duo’s words. Their faces hurt terribly.
The three looked at each other. Xiong Luoying and Chang Hao hurriedly covered the talismans in their pockets. They were really afraid that Ah Duo would take them back, which would make them even more uneasy. Not only had what happened tonight refreshed their worldview, it had also shaken them up.
In short, they really didn’t want to see that ghost thing anymore. They just wanted to find Master Chi immediately to exorcize it. Why did they have to go on a trip back then?
Thinking of tonight and the deaths of w.a.n.g Yu and Shen Zhihua, they suddenly fell silent.
At that moment, Xiao Ningjin said, “Ah Duo, can I take a look at that jade pendant?”
Jiang Duo refused without thinking.
“Just one look!”
Jiang Duo thought about it and finally took out the jade pendant for Xiao Ningjin to touch. The corners of Xiao Ningjin’s mouth twitched fiercely. Although he drooled, he immediately let go after touching it.
The holding cell was silent for a while, before Xiao Ningjin suddenly said, “By the way, Ah Duo, what’s the Taobao link for Master Chi’s shop? Can you send it again?”
Jiang Duo knew what the other three wanted to do, but he thought about how he had urged them to believe in Master Chi before, but they didn’t give him any face at all. Jiang Duo still wanted to slap their faces a bit more, but Chang Hao and Xiong Luoying, who were the proudest, bowed their heads first.
Only then did Jiang Duo smugly send them the link. Before he did so, he felt tired and annoyed at the thought that he would be competing with so many people to s.n.a.t.c.h up the good stuff in the future.
“Wait, Ah Duo, your phone wasn’t confiscated?” Xiong Luoying suddenly asked.
Jiang Duo thought to himself that he had hidden it well.
When Xiao Ningjin took out his own phone, Xiong Luoying and Chang Hao’s eyes widened.
Xiao Ningjin immediately clicked on the link. Unfortunately, almost everything in the shop was sold out. He realized that apart from the spirit rice and jade pendants, the most popular thing in this Taobao shop was the Nourishment Pills.
Back then, they didn’t take the Nourishment Pills seriously and had casually transferred 500,000 yuan to Ah Duo and Yunfeng. Unlike Chang Hao and Xiong Luoying, who were simple-minded, Xiao Ningjin could be considered the smartest and sharpest among them.
Xiao Ningjin thought of the talismans and the jade pendant around Jiang Duo’s neck. Since Master Chi was a true Celestial Master, the Nourishment Pills which she sold on Taobao were probably extraordinary. Thinking this, Xiao Ningjin couldn’t help but regret throwing the Nourishment Pills to Yunfeng and Ah Duo.
He had the vague feeling that the Nourishment Pills were a very, very rare treasure.
The more Xiao Ningjin thought about it, the more regret he felt.
At that moment, a few police officers suddenly came in. The boys thought that they were here to release them, but the police were here to take their phones. In the end, Jiang Duo and Xiao Ningjin’s phones were still handed over.
“Officer, we’re innocent, we didn’t kill anyone!” Xiong Luoying suddenly shouted.
As soon as Xiong Luoying shouted, Chang Hao immediately said that they had been wronged and had run into a ghost.
The person they were talking to was Feng Yuanlin’s subordinate, Captain Chen. In the past, Captain Chen might not have believed their nonsense, but when he thought of how those kids from No. 5 Junior High had played some Pen Spirit game and drawn out all sorts of ghosts, he believed them. He looked at the boys inside with especially sympathetic eyes.
He didn’t know what these brats had done or what they had provoked, but they just had to encounter something as unclean as a ghost. Ever since the last time he encountered one, he was well aware of how savage these things could be. Unless it was put down for good, their lives might really be in danger.
Captain Chen didn’t say much to them and prepared to leave.
Xiao Ningjin suddenly said, “Captain Chen, give the phone back to us for a while. Let us contact someone. Yes, contact someone. Give us the phone for a bit!”
When Captain Chen found out that these brats wanted to contact Master Chi, his expression turned very strange. He didn’t agree on the spot. After all, the police station had rules. After listening to them, he was even more convinced that these brats really hadn’t killed anyone.
After taking the phones, Captain Chen returned to Director Feng’s office and reported that the boys had encountered a ghost. He also told them that they knew Master Chi.
Feng Yuanlin didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence. After thinking about it, he wanted to give Zhenbai’s wife a call, but given how late it was, it wasn’t good to disturb her.
It just so happened that he still had something to talk to Shuyan about, like asking why she thought she had forced herself on him. At the thought that Shuyan had misunderstood, Feng Yuanlin didn’t know whether to laugh or not.
Feng Yuanlin collected his thoughts and suddenly asked, “By the way, what are the names of the two people who were sent to the hospital for emergency treatment?”
