Chapter 920 Entrapment

When Song Jiang heard this, he said quickly, "Don't... I know you are targeting the little ghost Alice. I will have a good talk with her before releasing her. She must reach a consensus with us on this matter. But then again, we don't know Duan Tiande. How can we let him know that you have such a top-notch ghost boy?"

Gu Hao smiled and said, "This is easy... Remember the ghost I mentioned before? It must know how to contact the old ghost. As long as I use some tricks, I can naturally find out their contact information. Then I will tell Duan Tiande in the name of the ghost that Deng Kai has a little ghost that he is eager to sell."

Deng Kai, who was standing by, suddenly heard Gu Hao say this and was confused, "Why is it me... I have a little ghost in my hand!?"

"Because the story has to make sense. After all, no one will sell the ghost boy directly, so we can only say that some stupid rich second-generation has an antique music box to auction, and that antique music box contains a very powerful ghost boy... Doesn't this fit your character perfectly?" Gu Hao said with some amusement.

Deng Kai was unable to refute for a moment, and finally he had to say stubbornly, "You are wrong about one thing! I am already a first-generation rich man, okay?"

Song Jiang and the others couldn't help laughing when they heard this, and Gu Hao said perfunctorily, "Sorry, I was wrong. Let me correct you. You are indeed the first generation of rich people now."

  ==============

When Song Jiang and Meng Zhe returned home at night, they went to the supermarket in advance to buy a bunch of snacks that children love to eat. After all, they were asking Alice to do something very dangerous, so it would not work without some benefits...

"We haven't called the little ghost out for a long time. Do you think she will agree to help?" Song Jiang said with some concern.

Unexpectedly, Meng Zhe snorted and said, "Don't worry... With her personality, she will definitely be 100% happy. Besides, what do you mean by not asking her out for a long time? It's because you didn't see her when she came out. You don't think that I opened the online TV membership at home, do you?!"

Song Jiang was so amused when he heard this that he said, "Why are all the channels I subscribe to children's channels? It turns out that the kid opened a membership without permission, and it costs several dozen per month?!"

Meng Zhe comforted him and said, "That's enough. Just be content. A few dozen dollars a month is enough to make that kid behave himself. It's really a good deal!"

Song Jiang thought so too. Alice was a perverse little kid. If she hadn't been tied up with cartoons, the neighbors upstairs and downstairs might have been in trouble! At this time, the elevator just arrived at their floor. Song Jiang walked out without thinking, but he heard the sound of the TV coming from his door after walking a few steps...

"Luckily, we're the only family living on this floor right now, otherwise we'd definitely get complained about for making such loud noises..." Song Jiang sighed.

Unexpectedly, Meng Zhe said with a funny face, "It doesn't matter. Whenever the property management comes to you, just tell them that our building is haunted. The TV at home always turns on by itself for no reason... I promise that the property management staff will never call you again."

Perhaps because of the footsteps of Song Jiang and the other person, the sound of the TV in the room suddenly stopped, and everything returned to calm again, as if the sound just now was an illusion... After Song Jiang entered the room, he looked around first. Although there was nothing unusual on the surface, when he walked to the TV and touched it, the hot feeling still completely exposed the behavior of the little ghost Alice.

Song Jiang smiled and shook his head and said, "I understood one thing when I was very young. Never watch TV secretly without telling the adults at home. Otherwise, you will be exposed once you touch the temperature of the TV." Seeing that Alice was going to play dead, Meng Zhe said in a deep voice, "Don't pretend... Come out quickly, I've bought you something delicious!"

At this time, a little girl's innocent laughter was heard in the room, and then Alice appeared gorgeously. She looked at Song Jiang and Meng Zhe with a mischievous look and said, "You found me..."

Meng Zhe snorted and said, "I've already discovered it, but I'm too lazy to argue with a kid like you..."

Unexpectedly, Alice suddenly appeared beside Song Jiang the next second, and then looked at the snacks in his hand expectantly and said, "Are these... all for me?"

After hearing this, Song Jiang squatted down, opened the bag, took out the snacks one by one and said, "I don't know what you like to eat, so I bought some that kids like nowadays... Do you like them?"

After hearing this, Alice first walked around the pile of snacks, then looked at Song Jiang and Meng Zhe with a suspicious look and said, "You are being so kind to me for no reason... You are either a traitor or a thief. Tell me, what do you want from me?"

When Song Jiang heard that this little guy was quite cunning, he deliberately sighed and said, "We do have something we want to ask you for help with...but I'm worried that you might get into danger, so I haven't decided whether to let you go or not."

Alice immediately asked curiously, "What's going on? Is it fun?!"

Song Jiang pondered for a while before speaking in a deep voice, "We want to capture a particularly powerful old ghost... but he hides very well and has never shown up easily. However, we know that he has a hobby, which is to devour ghost children, so we originally wanted to use you as bait to lure the old ghost out, and then destroy him in one fell swoop. But I am worried that you are no match for him and will encounter danger in the process."

Alice said with disdain, "It's just catching an old ghost? How difficult is that?! He likes to devour ghost boys? I also like to devour evil ghosts! Who's afraid of who?! On the other hand, how could it be more dangerous than staying by the side of the White Tiger Lord? I'll take this job. It's boring to stay at home every day anyway, so why not go out and fight that old ghost?"

Song Jiang didn't expect Alice to agree so readily, so he asked half-doubtfully, "You don't have any other ideas, do you?!"

Seeing that Song Jiang didn't believe her, Alice said with a wronged look on her face, "What else can I think? You two are too difficult to deal with. It's not right to agree, and it's not right to disagree..."

Song Jiang felt that what he said was a bit embarrassing for Alice, so he could only smile and said, "Okay, okay...I'm wrong, okay? But you have to remember that you are just a bait this time. We will definitely ensure your safety and prevent that old ghost from devouring you. But at the same time, don't always think about devouring that old ghost, because there are still many things waiting for it to return to the underworld to settle, understand?"

"Got it..." Alice said impatiently.
