Chapter 124 People can change

After learning about Gu Qingyin's true identity, Zhuo's father believed that she was not here to cheat people out of money, but he still didn't quite believe what she said. However, he didn't say anything else. Anyway, the truth would be revealed in the evening.

When Zhuo Yan gave the talisman to her parents, Zhuo's mother took it regardless of whether she believed it or not. Of course, it would be best if nothing happened, but if something did happen, maybe the talisman could really keep her safe?

Zhuo's father sneered. He was a complete atheist and didn't believe that ghosts existed in the world. He just thought it was alarmist.

For most of the day afterwards, Gu Qingyin sat in meditation with his eyes closed.

Mother Zhuo wanted to call her to have dinner, but after she called out twice, Gu Qingyin didn't respond, so she had to give up.

Mr. Zhuo didn't leave either. He kept staring at Gu Qingyin, afraid that she would do something bad.

Like the ones revealed on TV, such as Approaching Science...

But until night fell, Gu Qingyin sat steadily on the sofa, not moving.

Mr. Zhuo is tired of staring.

Zhuo Yan turned on all the lights in the house. After encountering ghosts three times in a row, she was really scared. She was afraid that Tong Xihai would suddenly appear in some dark place.

By eleven o'clock in the evening, Zhuo's father and mother were already exhausted and their moods became irritable.

"It's late at night, Master Gu isn't going home yet?" Zhuo's father said with sarcasm, almost saying he was going to kick him out.

Zhuo Yan was also in agony, and wanted Gu Qingyin to solve the problem quickly, so she kept silent.

Gu Qingyin acted as if she didn't hear anything and didn't move.

Zhuo's father: ...Is he dead? He has been meditating for more than ten hours. Is it true that his legs are not numb?
Until midnight, Gu Qingyin suddenly opened her eyes and uttered two words, "Here it comes."

The moment the words fell, the three members of the Zhuo family clearly felt that the surroundings had become colder, as if they had gone from the hot outdoors in the middle of summer to the cool indoor room. The feeling was very clear.

But the problem is, they didn't move at all!
"Husband..." Mother Zhuo squeezed into Father Zhuo's arms with a pale face.

Zhuo's father was not as sure as before, but he still insisted, "This phenomenon can definitely be explained by science."

"Dad!" Zhuo Yan screamed in horror, looking behind the two of them with wide eyes.

Mother Zhuo was shaking even more violently, and her neck seemed to be strangled, so she could only whimper helplessly.

Zhuo's father also froze. Behind him... could it be Tong Xihai? !
"Don't worry, with the talisman here, he won't dare touch you."

Gu Qingyin got up from the sofa and walked slowly towards Tong Xihai.

Tong Xihai did look a little scary. His head was dented, his face and clothes were covered in dried black blood, and one of his legs was broken and was dragging on the ground.

At first glance, they look like zombies.

Gu Qingyin stared into his eyes and asked tentatively: "Can you understand what I'm saying?"

Some new ghosts only have obsessions after death and act entirely on instinct, making it impossible to communicate.

Tong Xihai's dark eyes rolled around, fell on Gu Qingyin for two seconds, then turned back and continued to stare at Zhuo's father. His lips moved twice, but no sound came out.

Gu Qingyin frowned. It was a bit troublesome if they couldn't communicate.

She touched the pendant on her collarbone and said, "Come out and see if you can figure out what he means."

Zhuo Yan and her father watched helplessly as a large cloud of black mist emerged from her exquisite pendant, and when it fell to the ground, it turned into a tall, long-legged man... a ghost. Zhuo Yan's eyes almost popped out of her head. This was the second ghost she had seen, and it broke her stereotype of ghosts.

The male ghost in front of him looked exactly like a living person, except that he hadn't slept for three days and his face was pale and bloodless! And he was much more handsome than most living people.

Zhuo Yan looked at the male ghost, then at Gu Qingyin. Her curiosity was stirring and for a moment overshadowed her fear. What was the relationship between this man and this ghost?
Huo Yunjing took a long step and stood in front of Tong Xihai. Before the latter could raise his head, the Yin energy on his body spread out and instantly wrapped Tong Xihai into a dark cocoon.

A few seconds later, the cocoon broke open, and Tong Xihai stood there in a daze, and then stared at Zhuo's father as before. He was intimidated by the presence of the talisman and dared not step forward, but was unwilling to let him go so easily, so he could only stare.

"When he died, his neck was injured and he couldn't speak." Huo Yunjing finished explaining and looked at Zhuo's father, "Tong Xihai said that you didn't give his family a penny of the compensation you promised, and you even sent people to his house to harass his parents and threaten them not to call the police."

Zhuo's father was stunned for a moment, his face visibly turned red, and he roared: "He's talking nonsense! I already signed the remittance form!"

Tong Xihai's eyes flickered and he tilted his head in confusion.

But he forgot that his neck was broken, and when it tilted, his head drooped directly onto his shoulders, which was even more terrifying!

In the eyes of Zhuo's father and daughter, it was no different from intimidation!

Zhuo's father shuddered instinctively, and Zhuo's mother, who had buried her face in his arms, felt it. She buried her face even deeper and closed her eyes so tightly that she was almost having cramps.

"What happened after you signed the order? Did you watch the person making the payment?" Gu Qingyin asked, "How much was the compensation? Are you sure the person handling it wouldn't embezzle it?"

"It's more than two million in total." Zhuo's father said conceitedly, "The person who handled it has been with me for many years. I usually treat him well. There is no need for him to take this money."

"Call the person over and ask him." Gu Qingyin said, "Don't trust human nature too much."

Zhuo's father hesitated, "It's so late..."

Zhuo Yan was going crazy, "Dad! It's already this late, do you still care whether it's late or not?! If it's any later, I'll be taken away!"

Zhuo's father's expression changed drastically and he quickly took out his cell phone.

"Lao Liu, please come to my house now... Yes, it's urgent, you have to come now... OK, I'll wait for you at home."

Zhuo's father hung up the phone and said, "It will be here in half an hour."

You can't just sit there and wait with your eyes wide open for half an hour.

Gu Qingyin asked: "How are Tong Xihai's parents now?"

Huo Yunjing: "His father's leg was broken by someone and he was admitted to the hospital. His mother works during the day and stays with him at night. Her health is not very good either."

Upon hearing this, Zhuo's father was shocked and angry, and he felt guilty. "It's my fault too. I was too busy recently and didn't have time to go and see you."

When Tong Xihai first got into trouble, he went to visit, but Tong's parents were very cold. He never went to visit them again after that and just wanted to give them more compensation. He didn't expect this to happen.

"What kind of person is Old Liu usually?" Gu Qingyin asked casually.

"Old Liu is a very down-to-earth person!" Zhuo's father blurted out, "He has a steady personality, is reliable in his work, and is trustworthy in both character and ability. He will definitely not do anything that goes against one's will."

Gu Qingyin didn't comment, but just said faintly: "People are never static."

Especially when faced with temptation.

 Starting tomorrow, two chapters will be posted at the same time, tentatively at 9pm
