I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse
Chapter 32

Chapter 32: Chapter 32

These four individuals, three men and one woman, all seemed somewhat dazed. After emerging, they stood at the scene of the car accident, looking groggy and somewhat foolish.

You turned your head to look at two traffic police officers talking beside you and noticed they didn’t seem to have noticed these four people.

At that moment, the sky darkened as a heavy cloud layer covered the sun. Soon after, the sound of an iron chain dragging on the ground abruptly reached your ears.

Suddenly, a chill breeze blew by, and you saw two men emerge from the woods nearby.

These two men were dressed oddly, somewhat like wearing robes, with a strong sense of antiquity. They walked side by side, the man on the left holding an iron chain as thick as a wrist. The chain was so long that you couldn’t see its end at a glance.

The other man held a notebook in his left hand and a writing brush in his right, which appeared rather strange.

They seemed to be walking slowly, but somehow, in the blink of an eye, they were in front of the four people. The man on the right side opened the notebook, made a stroke with the brush, and then the man on the left shook the iron chain, instantly binding the four people’s hands upon it. They were then dragged away together by the man.

As the man on the right closed the notebook, he seemed to notice you. He turned to look at you, gave a slight start, and then gave you a salute with cupped hands.

Even though you were taken aback, you quickly returned the gesture with cupped hands.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

A traffic policeman nudged you gently, and when you came to, they had all disappeared.

"Nothing," you replied with a smile to the policeman, "Can I go now?"

"Hmm, you definitely need to be more careful when driving. Cars are becoming more numerous, and traffic accidents are happening more frequently." As he spoke, the policeman yawned wearily, "I’m exhausted! With traffic so advanced, who needs this blasted car? For such short distances, a bicycle would suffice. Even if there’s a crash, at most you’d end up with a bruised nose and swollen face, not children losing fathers or wives losing husbands, sigh!"

You nodded, opened the car door, and sat inside.

As you got into the car, Zhao’er turned to look out the rear window and noticed a black sedan parked not far away. She couldn’t help but ask, "Did you spot something unusual?"

Zhao’er shook her head slightly, and without giving it another thought, you drove off with her.

At that moment, inside the black sedan sat two men. The driver slapped the steering wheel with a hint of regret, sighing, "What kind of damn luck does this kid have? He actually dodged us!"

The man in the passenger seat put down his binoculars and said with a frown, "I think I just saw those two ’ghost messengers’ greet him, and he even returned the gesture."

"Impossible! They’re ’ghost messengers’; why would they greet a living person? And you said the kid returned the gesture, does he have ’Yin and Yang eyes’?"

"That’s very likely," the man in the passenger seat said gravely, "Let’s go back and report to our master."

When you returned to Ladies’ Home, Lin Panxia was munching on chips. Seeing you and Zhao’er back, she bounced over and batted her adorable, large eyes, "Brother Mu Yun, why did you guys take so long to come back? Tell me, where did you whisk Sister Zhao’er off to?"

"Obviously, we went somewhere scenic and serene to talk about life."

Lin Panxia was about to speak but suddenly paused and then smiled, "Brother Wenxiu, what brings you here?"

"Yo, Xiaxia, you’ve gotten even prettier after just one summer break."

A somewhat resonant male voice came from behind you. Turning around, you saw a handsome man in a suit and leather shoes with gold-rimmed glasses standing at the doorway, his smile as bright as sunshine.

The handsome man couldn’t help but reveal a surprised expression upon seeing her and immediately asked Lin Panxia, "Xiaxia, who is this..."

"Oh, this is Brother Mu Yun, Sister Qian Ling asked Mu Yun to move in, and this is Sister Zhao’er."

When Lin Panxia was introducing Zhao’er, you could clearly feel the handsome man’s gaze slowly settle on Zhao’er.

At this moment, Zhao’er still had her back to him, but just from her silhouette alone, the handsome man displayed a look of profound astonishment.

Lin Panxia took Zhao’er’s hand and introduced the handsome man to her, "Sister Zhao’er, this is Brother Wenxiu, he is Sister Xiaoyou’s cousin, and also one of Yuhang City’s top ten outstanding young people, he’s really impressive."

Under Lin Panxia’s urging, Zhao’er turned around, and at the moment she did, the handsome man was completely smitten.

The handsome man promptly composed his thoughts and, with a smile and an elegant demeanor, extended his hand to Zhao’er, showing a row of white teeth as he said, "Hello, I’m very pleased to meet you, my name is Wu Wenxiu."

In the face of Wu Wenxiu’s earnest approach, Zhao’er merely gave him a glance with her uniquely indifferent eyes, then turned to look at you, clearly disdainful of this seemingly perfect man.

You see, at noon when confronted by that idiot Xiao Feng, Zhao’er had still exchanged a few words with him.

It seems that in Zhao’er’s heart, this social elite before her is even less than Xiao Feng.

"I’m sorry, my girlfriend doesn’t much like talking to strangers." To ease the awkward atmosphere, you, with your generous heart and broad-mindedness, shook Wu Wenxiu’s hand and spoke with a smile.

Wu Wenxiu politely replied, "The one who should apologize is me, I indeed was a bit too forward with the lady just now."

Tsk!

What a pretentious wolf in sheep’s clothing, such fake propriety!

Just upon meeting him, Wu Wenxiu had already left a very bad impression on you.

Once everyone entered the living room and you had just sat down, Zhao’er snuggled into your arms just like usual. The moment you put your arm around Zhao’er’s waist, you distinctly caught a flash of jealousy in the corner of Wu Wenxiu’s eye.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Wu Qiyi came downstairs to see Wu Wenxiu, looking somewhat surprised.

"It’s because of you, tomorrow night is the old man’s eightieth birthday, and yet you, girl, show no interest at all."

Upon hearing this, Wu Qiyi’s face showed clear displeasure, "I’m not going."

"You... I don’t even know what to say to you, everything the old man does is for your own good. Besides, if you don’t like his arrangements, you could just tell him clearly to his face. You know that out of all the siblings, the old man loves you the most."

"There’s no need to talk about it, I’m not going."

Having said that, Wu Qiyi turned and went back to her room.

Seeing that his persuasion was futile, Wu Wenxiu didn’t stay any longer. He stood up, greeted you and Lin Panxia, then turned and left.

After Wu Wenxiu left the house and entered the elevator, he immediately took out his phone and made a call, "Help me check on two people, one named Li Muyun and the other named Zhao’er. I want all her information. Before midnight tonight, bring it to my office."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Wenxiu’s face showed an expression starkly different from the gentlemanly image he had before, "Hmph, there is no woman in the vast Yuhang City that Wu Wenxiu cannot get!"
