Chen Yang was talking nonsense to the air, causing the onlookers to laugh heartily and speculate wildly.

“Where did this lunatic come from? He’s here to watch the door, I wonder whose back door he took?”

“Keep your voice down, didn’t you see the young lady here?”

“It must be the young lady who called him here, didn’t you see him fighting with Master Hua?”

“Could it be that the young lady has taken a liking to this silly boy!”

Seeing that the young lady’s face was getting worse, Lin Dali shouted, “Disperse, everyone goes home quickly!”

Hu Hongying saw Chen Yang beat Hua Xiang yang and felt a bit nervous. This matter would soon reach her father’s ears, and the relationship between the two families would definitely be affected. She wondered if the cooperative project could still be successful.

Hu Hongying came over and said, “Chen Yang, what’s wrong with you? Have you really been struck stupid by lightning? What are you talking about ghosts and souls, you’re talking nonsense.”

Chen Yang smiled and said, “I misspoke for a moment. Hua Xiang yang was beaten, will you get into trouble?”

Lin Dali said, “He wouldn’t dare to do anything to the young lady, but it’s a different story with you. He’s a man who holds grudges.”

Chen Yang said, “I’m not afraid of him, whatever he can do, just let him come at me.”

Hu Hongying said, “I didn’t expect things to turn out like this, you really need to be careful.”

Chen Yang said, “Let’s go! I’ll treat you to dinner tonight, thank you for arranging this easy and high-paying job for me.”

Hu Hongying said, “You just started work, I should be the one treating you!”

Chen Yang got into Hu Hongying’s red BMW X3 and quickly arrived at a Chinese restaurant in the city center. Hu Hongying said in the car that she wanted to treat Chen Yang to a western meal. Chen Yang had never been to a western restaurant before and was afraid that he would be laughed at for being old-fashioned, so he said he didn’t like western food.

There were many people in the Chinese restaurant, but it was very quiet. Everyone was whispering, which made Chen Yang, who was used to speaking loudly, feel very oppressed. The ghost was still following him closely, talking to him from time to time. Chen Yang didn’t dare to pay attention to him. Eating with a beautiful woman and being followed by a ghost made Chen Yang feel uncomfortable.

Seeing that Chen Yang was not in a good mood, Hu Hongying said, “Is it because the food here doesn’t suit your taste?”

Chen Yang laughed and said, “The food here is delicious, much better than what Wang Mudun makes.”

Hu Hongying asked, “Who is Wang Mudun?”

Chen Yang said, “He is the cook on the construction site. You have eaten his stir-fried chili pork and hot and sour potato shreds on the mountain, don’t you remember?”

Hu Hongying remembered and said, “His cooking is better than here! When will he come to our company’s cafeteria to cook.”

Chen Yang said, “Actually, Wang Mudun’s cooking is very delicious, and he is a good person. He has secretly given me bread to eat several times. If he really can come, I will thank you for him!”

Hu Hongying laughed and said, “I heard that you were bullied on the construction site?”

Chen Yang said self-deprecatingly, “I just don’t stoop to their level.”

The ghost saw that Chen Yang and Hu Hongying were talking endlessly, so he tugged at Chen Yang’s arm and said, “You guys talk less and eat quickly, I have something to ask you. You’re so slow to eat!”

As soon as Chen Yang heard this, he got angry and couldn’t help saying, “Who’s slow? I didn’t ask you to wait for me. If you don’t want to wait, just go away, don’t annoy me!”

Chen Yang’s voice was a bit loud, and many people in the hall focused their eyes on the two of them.

Seeing that Chen Yang was acting up again, Hu Hongying said, “I’ll take you to Mount Tai tomorrow. I heard that the Taoists there are very powerful, let them take a look at you.”

Chen Yang said embarrassingly, “I made you look bad, it’s all this wild ghost’s fault.”

Seeing that Chen Yang was talking more and more nonsense, Hu Hongying pulled Chen Yang up and said, “Let’s go quickly!”

Chen Yang saw the wild ghost run to a fat woman who was laughing at him, picked up her boyfriend’s hand, and slapped her face.

The fat woman shouted, “Are you crazy, dare to hit me!”

The man said, “I don’t know what’s going on, my hand is not listening to me!”

The fat woman picked up her bag, rushed at the man and said, “Go be a bachelor for the rest of your life!” After saying that, she left in a huff.

Hu Hongying said, “What’s wrong with them?”

Chen Yang didn’t say anything more. If he did, Hu Hongying would say he was sick again.

Hu Hongying’s phone rang. It turned out to be her father Hu Guozhong. As soon as Hu Hongying answered, she heard Hu Guozhong’s roar from the phone, “Where are you, hurry back home!”

Chen Yang said, “Is it Hua Xiangyang who came to the door?”

Hu Hongying said, “It should be!”

Chen Yang said, “Then you hurry home! I’ll take a taxi back.”

Seeing Hu Hongying drive away, the wild ghost happily said, “You finally have time to listen to me.”

Chen Yang came to a secluded place, found a chair to sit down, and said, “Where did you come from, wild ghost, why are you bothering me? If the black and white impermanence comes later, if they take you away, don’t blame me?”

The ghost said, “I have an important matter to ask you for help. If the black and white impermanence really comes, you must plead for me and give me a few days’ grace before taking me away.”

Chen Yang said, “Don’t beat around the bush, just tell me what’s going on!”

The ghost hadn’t even opened his mouth, and tears were already flowing down uncontrollably, and he choked and couldn’t speak.

Chen Yang persuaded, “You cry now, cry enough and I’ll come find you.”

The ghost stopped crying and said, “Who has ever comforted people like you, without a bit of human touch.”

Chen Yang said, “Just say it, the black and white impermanence will come when they say they will.”

The ghost wiped away his tears, steadied his emotions, and began to tell his story.

“My name is Li Xianglin, I’m a retired worker, my wife has passed away, and I have two sons. I worked hard to raise them and let them all start families. I didn’t expect that when I got old, the two brothers didn’t care about me. I had no choice but to seek death and was hit by a car on the road. The two brothers put me in the morgue of the hospital and ignored me, fighting over the compensation money.”

Chen Yang said, “They are not filial, let them fight. You are dead, why do you care about them?”

Li Xianglin said, “I don’t care about the two brothers, but I still have my two lovely grandsons. I can’t let their unfilial piety be passed on to my grandsons.”

Chen Yang said, “Then how can I help you? Don’t you know that it’s hard for a clean official to break up a domestic dispute?”

Li Xianglin said, “I don’t want to leave this money to my son. It’s my own fault for seeking death. The other family’s life is not good, and they are a filial son.”

Chen Yang said, “You say you don’t want it, how can your two sons be willing?”

Li Xianglin said, “I wrote a will before I died, locked it in the cabinet, you just need to take it out and give it to the police.”

Chen Yang said, “I don’t even know where your house is, even if I knew, I couldn’t run into your house. If the money is gone, your two sons won’t eat me. I can’t help you with this.”

“As long as you help me, I’ll tell you a place where treasure is hidden.” Li Xianglin said.

“A place to hide treasure, what treasure?” Chen Yang’s curiosity was piqued.

If Chen Yang knew that curiosity killed the cat, he would definitely not follow Li Xianglin, this wild ghost, to look for treasure. (To be continued) Translated into English. assistant’
