Chapter 67: Ghostly Shadow Causes a Car Incident


    Yin Xinyue hurriedly exined, Director Wang, please dont get mad, but listen to Brother Zhang. Hes a man with skills. Remember the human bone ne? Actually, that human bone ne was found by him.


    Later on, I learned that the mans name was Wang Shaocong, the General Director of an advertisingpany.


    Obviously, Wang Shaocong knew about the human bone ne. After listening to Yin Xinyue, he was surprised and started studying me. His attitude became much friendlier. So, sir, can you tell me the details? How did my girlfriend get involved with this foul thing?


    I nodded, signaling for Wang Shaocong to take a seat. Then, I asked him, Theres a golden ne your girlfriend doesnt want to take off, right? Even when she takes a bath or sleeps, shell put it next to the mirror by her side. I wonder, does she let you use the mirror whenever she puts the ne there? Im guessing she doesnt.


    The corner of Wang Shaocongs mouth slightly twitched. Apparently, what Id said was all true!


    After thinking it over for a while, Wang Shaocong was still perplexed. But, how does that rte to the foul things that follow her?


    Li Mazi said, You cant even guess it? Okay, let me tell you honestly. When she puts the ne next to the mirror, the spirit from the ne will go to the mirror and show itself. Your girlfriends afraid that it could scare you.


    Theres a spirit dwelling inside that golden ne?! Wang Shaocong screamed. It How could that be? Its just an ordinary golden ne.


    "No, I said. Why would Qingqing care about an ordinary ne that much? That golden ne has a magic power that can enchant people. Its like a drug, so youd better solve this early. Otherwise, youll have to bear the consequences.


    Wang Shaocong looked pensive. Then, he nodded as he somewhat believed me.


    No matter what, everything that was happening was really strange.


    Brother, can you name a price? Wang Shaocong handed me a cigarette. As long as Qingqing can recover her normal self, Im willing to pay any price.


    Li Mazi looked somewhat irritated. Director Wang, I say, why are you so infatuated with that woman? With your credentials, the girls chasing after you could form a battalion.


    Wang Shaocong did not sound too confident as he said that they were each others true love.


    Later, Yin Xinyue told me that Wang Shaocongs so-called true love meant that Qingqings father had a few assets worth several hundred million renminbi.


    Then, I told Wang Shaocong, If we want to deal with the evil spirit inside the golden ne, we must first know that spirits origin. And, if we want to know its origin, we have to make direct contact with the golden ne.


    Wang Shaocong drew two cigarettes as he nodded. Okay, Ill swap her golden ne tonight. Then, you can have time to study it.


    I agreed.


    After setting up the n, everybody stayed and waited at my shop.


    At the same time, Qingqing asked Wang Shaocong to go shopping. However, Wang Shaocong rejected her, and Qingqings jealousy arose. She scolded him on the phone, asking what was more important in his heart; her or work?


    Wang Shaocong awkwardly hung up the phone, then begged me to expel that evil spirit.


    The sky darkened fast. I asked Wang Shaocong to go to Qingqing and apologize to her. Tonight, he must try his best to stay with Qingqing and distract her from realizing that her golden ne is stolen.


    Wang Shaocong nodded. Dont worry, its no problem for me to be entangled with a woman.


    After Wang Shaocong had left, we stayed and waited for his call. Not long after, he called us and asked us to hurry over to Qingqings to watch.


    It would be easy to spot us if we went in a big group. Thus, I let Li Mazi and Yin Xinyue wait in the shop. I left with a bag of human ash joss sticks, and drove to Qingqings apartment.


    I found a remote, dark corner, and waited there. Not long afterward, Wang Shaocongs Mercedes-Benz pulled to a halt in front of the building. Wang Shaocong held Qingqings hand as he walked to her apartment.


    On the way, Wang Shaocong bumped into a friend of his and stopped to chat for a moment. However, Qingqing acted like a freak. She started quarreling, using Wang Shaocong of having an ambiguous rtionship with the other woman. Wang Shaocong was so embarrassed.


    I was a bit worried. If they couldnt stay together tonight, everything wed prepared this morning wouldve been done in vain.


    However, Id underestimated Wang Shaocongs skills when it came to taming women. He only needed to say a few words, and Qingqing immediately rxed. I exhaled in relief.


    After Wang Shaocong and Qingqing had entered her apartment, I came closer to watch by her door.


    They exchanged sweet words for a while before Qingqing went to take a bath. Seizing the time she was in the bathroom, Wang Shaocong swapped the golden ne. Hurriedly, he opened the door and threw me the ne, asking me to leave quickly.


    I caught the ne, hurriedly getting in my car. Burning the bone ash joss sticks, I ced the golden ne next to the sticks, stepped on the throttle, and started driving to my shop.


    I drove as fast as lightning since I was worried that the golden ne could affect me. To prevent any possible mistakes, I chose the long way around, avoiding routes packed with traffic or people.


    I sometimes checked the rear-view mirror to see the bone ash joss ticks behind me. Since the smoke looked normal, I thought that there wouldnt be something out of my expectations.


    However, when I looked back at the road, a shadow was standing in front of my car. I didnt know when or how it had appeared.


    Frightened, I stepped on the brake and turned the wheel immediately. However, it was toote. My car hit the shadow.


    I took a deep breath, then stopped the car. However, as soon as I halted, someone hit the back of my car. I turned around and found that an Audi had just hit me.


    The Audis driver got out and started to scream at me, demanding to know why Id braked all of a sudden. I didnt have time to mind the Audis driver. The most urgent issue now was to check if Id hit someone.


    However, when I got out of the car, I didnt see anybody that I mightve hit. There wasnt a scratch on my car, either!


    What bad luck! I hurried to get in the car to go home.


    However, the driver of the Audi that had bumped into the back of my car was still pestering me. Right at this moment, Yin Xinyue called me and asked, Hows it going?


    I told her that an Audi had just kissed my car. Yin Xinyue told me not to worry because she knew the Chief of the Traffic Police team and would give her a call.


    After the Audis driver, who was screaming and cursing arrogantly, received a mysterious call, he didnt even dare to utter a word. So, I quickly seized the opportunity to leave.


    I was anxious as I knew that the shadow was a trick caused by the golden ne! Immediately, I checked on it and I could see a vague human head floating above the golden ne.


    It was the face of a man with a thick beard covering almost all of his face. He was staring at me with red eyes. I was terrified and promptly blinked to check that what I was seeing was real. The human head was gone and the golden ne was stillying on the back seat. The human ash joss sticks were extinguished


    Not good!


    I cursed under my breath and lit the rest of the ash joss sticks Id brought.


    To help the resentment-like energy in the ash joss sticks maximize their subduing effect on the golden ne, I didnt even open the windows. Smoke hovered in my car, making me dizzy.


    It was really hard to get to the antique shop in such a condition. As soon as I got out of the car, I began to retch, so Yin Xinyue and Li Mazi hurried to support me. I asked Li Mazi to fetch the golden ne. I needed to examine it carefully!


    This golden ne, at first nce, wasn''t made of pure gold. It wasnt shiny enough. When I touched it, the surface was a little rough as it wasn''t a delicately made essory. The ne had many ck dots with red tints.


    Li Mazi said, Isnt it made of artificial gold? And, it looks like this because the old artificial gold has faded.


    I shook my head as I thought that wasnt the cause.


    I was sure that the red tint was the root cause of this evil ne.


    I lit an alcohol burner and kept the part of the ne with red tint above the me. Soon, the yellow me burned and charred the golden ne. The heat followed the ne and burned my hand. I couldnt do anything else but put on a glove and continue to burn it.


    At this moment, faint sounds arose from inside the golden ne.


    Immediately, I tried to listen carefully. I heard a crackling noise as if someone had sshed water into a wok of boiling oil.


    Whats going on here?I suddenly felt strange.


    Oh crap, its bleeding! While I was trying to listen attentively, Li Mazi suddenly screamed. I was surprised and instantly checked the ne.


    A drop of blood was seeping out of the area I was burning the golden ne!


    Under the yellow me, the blood was clearly visible. It was singed and cracked, but it seemed to be bing one with the golden ne. No matter how high the me burned, the drop of blood clung to the ne and didnt fall.


    Li Mazi, turn the me higher! I immediately asked Li Mazi.
