Chapter 604: Chapter 604: Don’t Leave Without Seeing Each Other_1

Being hit by an off-road vehicle that suddenly accelerated, weighing over two tons, was a truly terrifying event!

In that family of four, two people were flung away due to the angle of impact, one was knocked into a drainage ditch, and the other was mercilessly run over by the wheels!

After the black Mercedes SUV hit the four people, it didn’t slow down a bit. Instead, it jumped over a meter-wide drainage ditch and headed towards a family of three who were still worshipping their ancestors, unaware of what was about to happen!

At a critical moment, the driver jerked the steering wheel hard to the left, only grazing an adult man holding fruit; the SUV then scraped against three tree trunks, surged back onto the road, and slammed into a car parked on the side of the road, caving in the passenger side. Hastily steering again, after crashing through three more cars, the Mercedes SUV roared away, making an escape before an audience of onlookers.

After seeing the whole incident clearly, you slowly closed your eyes and let out a soft sigh.

"Chairman Li, can you tell me what happened?"

Hearing Sun Mingyu’s voice, you couldn’t help but look in the direction it came from and saw Sun Mingyu approaching with two criminal detectives.

You narrated the entire process to Sun Mingyu succinctly. After listening, he frowned and said, "This... was this really caused by filthy things?"

You shook your head slightly and said, "No."

"No?"

Sun Mingyu obviously did not expect such an answer from you, considering even ordinary people were beginning to believe that the incident was caused by ghosts.

"Yes, it definitely wasn’t the work of ghosts. In fact, ghosts are more reasonable than humans; aside from the very few that have lost their reason, any ghost with a bit of self-awareness wouldn’t harm the living without cause, let alone take their lives. Doing so would mean being eternally confined in the terrifying Hell, with no chance of redemption."

"If it wasn’t ghosts, then what was it?"

You glanced at Sun Mingyu and smiled, "What else could it be? Every day in Yuhang, there are dozens, even hundreds of accidents. You just need to work through them one by one. Whoever could drive a car like this must be either drunk or a novice."

"The guy was drinking, right? The odds should be higher for drunk driving," Sun Mingyu asked.

"Not ruling that out, but the likelihood of a newbie is also quite high. These days, there are just too many road killers."

Sighing lightly and shaking your head, you then heard the familiar clanking of iron chains in your ears.

Soon, a wind picked up, and a thick fog started to rise among the neatly arrayed forest of steles.

"Clang... Clang..."

The sound of the Soul Locking Chain grew closer, and before long, two Ghost officials appeared in the midst of the fog.

These two Ghost officials were unfamiliar, so you didn’t greet them. You thought they would just take away the two bewildered souls by the roadside and leave, but unexpectedly, before taking the souls, the two Ghost officials bowed respectfully to you. Then, they led the souls away and disappeared into the mist.

Since when were the ghosts of the Underworld so polite?

With this strange thought in your mind, you turned and walked back the way you came.

By now, the traffic police had arrived, and the wrecked vehicles had been towed away by cranes. The road had been cleared, and the traffic was smooth once more.

On the way back, you couldn’t help but ask your mother sitting in the backseat, "Mom, do you have any friends in the Underworld?"

Hearing this, your mother shuddered and couldn’t help but glance at you.

Seeing that your expression remained unchanged, she immediately laughed and said, "Your mother is very resourceful; what kind of friends don’t I have?"

"That senior’s status must be quite high, right?"

"Why do you ask that?" Your mother asked in return.

"Because I always feel that those ghosts are too nice to me. They could have simply ignored me, yet they felt compelled to greet me when they came closer. With such treatment, even those veteran Taoists who often roam between the realms of Yin and Yang probably don’t have it, right?"

Your mother smiled noncommittally, "Maybe it’s because you made a big fuss in Heavenless Hell last time, and even crossed swords with the famous King Qinguang."

"The number of people who know about this definitely doesn’t exceed ten, I don’t believe even the smallest of Ghosts would know these things."

"Then Mother doesn’t know either."

As she spoke, your mother embraced Little Qinniang in her arms and said cheerily, "Little Yan, it’s rare to have a three-day holiday, how about Mom takes you to see the sea?"

"Yes!" Little Qinniang looked up at you and Zhao’er, "Mom, are Brother and Sister Zhao’er going too?"

"The two of them have other important things to do. After we have fun at the seaside, Mom will take you to see Grandma."

Hearing this, you glanced at your mother in the rearview mirror and asked, "Mom, are you and Little Yan really not joining us?"

"We, the big and small light bulbs, would be such an eyesore next to you three lovers, so no, we’re not going."

As she spoke, your mother pointed to an intersection ahead and said, "Just stop there; I need to buy Little Yan a few nice clothes and a swimsuit."

Knowing you couldn’t persuade your mother otherwise, you didn’t bother to say anything more. After the two of them got out of the car, you picked up the phone to dial Wu Qiyi’s number.

Although the call connected, Wu Qiyi didn’t pick up.

Just as you were about to dial again, the other party called you back.

"Little Yun, did Xi Yu tell you?"

"Mhm."

Hearing some noise on her side, you couldn’t help asking, "Where are you? It sounds particularly noisy."

"They’re holding ancestral rites."

After all, Wu Qiyi is the legitimate daughter of a great clan; for the Wu Family Clan, the annual Qingming ancestral rites are a pretty big deal.

During the rites, the clan leader and some Elders will announce the list of the clan’s adult descendants, which includes the clan leader’s eldest legitimate daughter, Wu Qiyi.

"It was originally decided for tomorrow, but my mom changed the time at the last minute."

"What time?"

"Four o’clock."

After a moment of silence, the person on the other end still asked in a very calm tone, "Meet downstairs at Ladies’ Home at three-thirty."

"Alright, don’t stand me up."

"Don’t stand me up."

That’s Wu Qiyi for you, a lady of high status who always handles things methodically, strategizing with ease.

"Little Yun, what are you doing here? You made me search hard for you."

A stunning woman in a black long dress walked over, her smiling face like a fully-bloomed black rose in the eyes of the onlookers, radiant and eye-catching.

Of course, her beauty is relative; as soon as Wu Qiyi steps into the same view, the once radiant black rose seems to lose its luster, all glamour shifting to be captured by Wu Qiyi alone.

Wu Qiyi looked at the newcomer with a detached expression and said softly, "Elder sister, is there something you need?"
