Shocking! A master of metaphysics has been mind-reading!

Looking at the results of the questioning, the police officer continued to confirm, "Then, after you, your friend, and Mr. Lu returned due to some personal matters, you and Mr. Lu went to a hotel together, but then stopped at the hotel entrance. What were you doing at the hotel?"

Xia Wange shrugged. "What else can we do?"

Lu Qiu glanced at Xia Wange, frowned, and remained silent.

Why did you leave instead of going in later?

Xia Wange calmly said, "We couldn't reach an agreement on some things, and my best friend happened to be looking for me, so I went to the hospital, and he came with me."

"Some things couldn't be agreed upon?" The police officer's gaze darted back and forth between Lu Qiu and Xia Wange.

Just as he frowned and asked if it involved any money, Lu Qiu interrupted, "We just had a fight."

The police officer suddenly realized that the two men, in terms of both appearance and demeanor, had no connection to those matters.

"After you went to the hospital, you took your boss home and found them still at your door, but their behavior was very strange, so you chose to call the police."

"Yes." Xia Wange nodded.

"You were completely unaware of what they were saying about being trapped in a maze of ghosts, being possessed, and other such things?"

"I have no idea," Xia Wange said indignantly. "That's utter nonsense!"

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation. You can leave now." The police officer confirmed with Liu Mei, then opened the door and left.

"Finally finished asking all the questions." Xia Wange stretched.

Liu Mei glanced at the open door, then looked at Xia Wange with a worried expression.

Xia Wange leaned back lazily in her chair and snapped her fingers. Liu Mei and Lu Qiu saw a talisman on her fingertip begin to burn.

She said, "This kind of statement is the best. If it were too detailed, it would only complicate things. Isn't it better to have a statement that is both unbelievable and plausible? I can't really say that I saw the ghost of Tan Laosan's wife lying on his back crying to me, and that I was too busy to deal with it, so I trapped them there, can I?"

Liu Mei stared wide-eyed at the surveillance camera that was on in the background.

Xia Wange shook her head to indicate that she was fine, then she smiled and said, "I have high hopes for you. You have to protect ordinary people like me who are unarmed."

Just as Liu Mei was about to say something, Xia Wange raised her finger, flicked away the ashes of the talisman, and made a shushing gesture.

Then she got up, walked behind Lu Qiu, and looked at Liu Mei encouragingly, "Keep it up and solve the case! All your efforts will pay off. We're going back to sleep now. You've been busy all night, so thank you for your hard work."

After saying that, Xia Wange pushed Lu Qiu away.

Liu Mei sat there, glancing at the spot where Xia Wange had flicked away the talisman ash. She noticed that the tiles there were incredibly clean, without a single speck of ash.

She got up to check the surveillance footage, quickly dragging the progress bar until her colleague left and the door was wide open.

Then she saw Xia Wange snap her fingers. After that, she remained seated, neither moving nor speaking. Not long after, she stood up, said some words of encouragement to her, and then left.

After a long while, Liu Mei took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

When her colleagues saw her like this, they asked her what was wrong with concern.

Liu Mei simply rubbed her head and said, "I feel like my worldview has been refreshed again."

"Who isn't?" the colleague said speechlessly. "The test results are all in, and none of them have used drugs. Now we need to see the doctor's results. A bunch of lunatics, insisting that there are ghosts crawling on their backs. Where are the ghosts? Come out and show me. They just won't tell the truth, wasting our time and police resources."

The police station where Liu Mei worked was closer to the company. It was almost six o'clock, so Xia Wange didn't bother with any more trouble and drove straight to the company.

The security guard at the gate was startled when he saw the boss's car arrive so early, thinking something serious had happened.

Xia Wange had ordered breakfast delivery long ago. She carried it with Lu Qiu to his lounge and laid out the breakfast on the table.

"I don't know what you like to eat, so I ordered a bit of both Chinese and Western food. After you finish eating, you can sleep in the break room. I'll borrow the sofa in your office to sleep for a while."

Lu Qiu picked up the fried dough sticks he hadn't eaten in a long time. Hearing her say that, he immediately said, "You're in the break room, right..."

"No, your legs can't sit for long periods of time. After a whole night of this, if you don't let your legs relax, you might develop related illnesses. What if the purple aura problem is solved, but then medical problems arise? It's not worth it. Besides, the sofa outside isn't wide enough or long enough. You're so tall, you won't get a good rest."

Lu Qiu took a sip of soy milk. The taste of the watered-down sweet soy milk was a little unpleasant for him. Watching the other person wolf down their food so quickly, he hesitated for a moment before asking, "Are you this busy every night?"

"How could that be?" Xia Wange also wanted to complain. "Everything just happened at the same time. Luckily, I only started taking on jobs about half a month ago, so I'm still young and energetic. Otherwise, if I were tormented like this for a night a few years later, I would have died on the spot."

Lu Qiu raised an eyebrow, "For more than half a month?"

"Hmm." Xia Wange downed half a cup of soy milk and started eating her hamburger. "It was the day you had your car accident. I happened to be in the suburbs picking up some things, preparing to officially open for business. I didn't expect to run into you, and as a result, I kept getting orders. I guess I'm just riding on your good luck."

Lu Qiu gently stroked the inside of the paper cup with his fingertips. "A high place naturally carries a far-reaching voice, not because of the autumn wind."

Slightly taken aback, Xia Wange laughed, "Then thank you for your compliment."

After finishing the hamburger in a few bites, Xia Wange took an eye mask out of her bag, pointed outside, and said, "I'm a little too tired to stay awake any longer. I'm going to rest for a while. I have some soundproofing tape on me. When you go to work, just come over and give me a nudge, and I'll wake up. You can eat slowly."

After saying that, Xia Wange yawned and left the lounge like a lost soul.

Lu Qiu didn't come back to his senses until she disappeared. He stared at the soy milk in the bowl for a moment, then ate a few more bites.

Xia Wange was right. His waist and thighs could no longer withstand such high-intensity running and sitting for long periods of time. The parts of his body below the waist that still had sensation were aching.

After tidying up the table, washing up briefly, and changing his clothes, Lu Qiu lay on the bed in the lounge. He closed his eyes and thought of Xia Wange's tired appearance after driving all night. He pursed his lips and raised his hand to touch his leg.

A moment later, he opened his phone and began searching for ways for people who have lost feeling in their legs to obtain a driver's license.

The repeated appearance of the words "disabled person" stung Lu Qiu's eyes and gave him a splitting headache.

He turned off his phone, slowly calmed himself down, and measured the numb parts of his legs bit by bit. After repeatedly rubbing the small inch of skin where he had regained sensation, he slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

It will be alright.

Right?

Summer Evening Song.
