Chapter 639: Chapter 639 Matchmaking_1

"Hey, Old Shu, tell us about it," Yang Kai said with a gossip-hungry face looking at you.

You laughed and said nonchalantly, "Actually, it’s no secret, just a little childhood promise. As you all know, Madman, Little Yun, and I have been playing together since we were little."

"Who’s Madman?" Shangguan Jinzhu suddenly asked.

"Our supernatural detective society’s vice-chairman."

"Oh, Xiao Feng," Shangguan Jinzhu nodded. "He’s not my type, too arrogant."

"Back then, we didn’t have as many games to play as now, mostly playing with sand, playing house, and the like. Every time we played house, Little Yun and I were always the husband and wife, so as time went by, people around us would tease us about it. Once, Madman’s mom jokingly said something to Little Yun."

"What did she say?"

"Little Yun, if Xiao Yun runs out of money in the future, would you support him?"

"Hmm! I would give him my three hundred yuan of allowance every month."

Those were just two simple sentences, but when the others heard them, they stopped laughing and joking, replaced by a silence.

After a while, Shangguan Jinzhu said, "Nowadays, it’s almost impossible to find someone like her. Chairman Li, you shouldn’t let her down."

You scratched your head and did not respond to Shangguan Jinzhu’s comment.

Soon, the car stopped outside the yard of No. 72, Baojia Street.

As you pushed open the door, you found Tao Wenwen and Hu Meili sitting in the hall watching TV.

Seeing you bringing in a strange girl, Tao Wenwen immediately stood up and went towards the kitchen.

After you all sat down, the skillful Tao Wenwen had already brewed a pot of tea and brought it out. She smiled at Shangguan Jinzhu and said, "Please have some tea."

"Thank you."

Shangguan Jinzhu took a few sips of tea, and seeing that you didn’t make a move, she couldn’t help asking, "Chairman Li, didn’t you say you were going to help me drive out evil spirits? Why haven’t you started yet? Is it already done?"

You glanced at your digital watch and smiled, "Just two more minutes."

"Wait? Wait for who?"

Hearing Shangguan Jinzhu’s question, you exchanged a glance with the person next to you, who smiled and said, "Someone who can help you, and you might feel something when you see him."

Shangguan Jinzhu laughed derisively and said, "Pfft, who would believe that? Someone like that, does any girl not follow them around? How could they possibly have time for me?"

You all smiled at each other without saying a word.

Before long, the door opened, and Zong Wangyue and Dai Zhenan walked in.

"How come it’s only you two? Where’s Black Bull?" Wei Shuxian asked.

"That dude puts romance before bromance. Right after you finished your call, he said he was going to pick up Liu Qing."

Zong Wangyue sat down boldly and, upon seeing Shangguan Jinzhu sitting across from him, narrowed his eyes for a closer look.

After taking a good look at Shangguan Jinzhu, Zong Wangyue suddenly exclaimed with an exaggerated expression, "Wow, Shangguan Jinzhu!"

"Eh, Zongzi, you know her?" Yang Kai asked.

At this moment, Shangguan Jinzhu glared fiercely at Zong Wangyue, not expecting that someone in your group would recognize her identity.

When Shangguan Jinzhu glared at him, Zong Wangyue chuckled with a smirk, "Heh, um, that... there was a networking event before, and she left a rather unique impression on me."

It was clear that Zong Wangyue had held back a lot of information, but none of that mattered, and neither did you care.

Seeing Dai Zhenan looking somewhat listless, you suddenly stood up and led him into a corner.

"Zhenan, I know this is hard for you. To see a relationship that you’ve worked so hard on fall apart, I would definitely be more hurt than you. But, I can honestly say that the girl was not worthy of you, really."

Dai Zhenan managed a wry smile.

"Come on, pick yourself up, and numb yourself with work." After patting Dai Zhenan’s shoulder, you continued, "Shangguan Jinzhu is a pretty interesting girl. She was affected by some evil energy when she passed through the alley on the evening of Qingming Festival. You help her exorcise it."

"Me?"

Dai Zhenan clearly hadn’t expected you to ask him to conduct the exorcism.

He had been with the supernatural detective society for some time now, and during this period, although Dai Zhenan didn’t consider himself the most diligent learner, he had never slacked off.

Knowing that he was less gifted than others, he did put his heart into the cultivation of Taoist techniques. It was just that, despite often dealing with these things, he had never taken action, only standing by to support the crowd.

This sudden instruction made Dai Zhenan’s hands and feet panic.

"What, scared?" you asked with a smile, looking at Dai Zhenan.

"No, no, I’m just worried that I won’t be able to complete the task, since I’m pretty weak."

"It’s precisely because you’re weak that you need to get stronger. We should not only enhance our exorcism skills but also make our hearts tough, impregnable."

At this point, Dai Zhenan clearly understood your intention, and he looked at you with shining eyes: "Chairman, I’m sorry for the trouble I’ve caused everyone."

You nudged Dai Zhenan’s chest with your fist, laughing: "Glad you understand. Now go, don’t worry us anymore."

"Alright!"

Under everyone’s gaze, Dai Zhenan approached Shangguan Jinzhu: "Miss Shangguan, hello."

Possibly because he was a bit nervous, Dai Zhenan stumbled over his words and his expression was somewhat rigid.

Seeing him like this, Shangguan Jinzhu laughed heartily. Her tomboyish demeanor came across very naturally: "Hey, can you, this wooden-head, really solve my problem?"

Dai Zhenan had a characteristic typical of homebodies; he was quite shy when facing unfamiliar girls.

Shangguan Jinzhu’s comment made him scratch his head: "Well... I’m not really sure, but let’s give it a try."

"Give it a try? Are you really treating me like a guinea pig?"

"No, no, no, that’s not what I meant!"

"Then what do you mean?" Shangguan Jinzhu glared, her inherent fierceness suddenly intensifying.

Facing Shangguan Jinzhu’s aggressive stance, Dai Zhenan, although embarrassed, showed no fear: "I... I will definitely help you drive away the evil spirits!"

"Really?"

"Yes!" Dai Zhenan nodded emphatically.

"Okay then, let’s begin." Shangguan Jinzhu was a sharp one, acting on her instincts, and once she felt right about something, she wouldn’t hesitate to go through with it.

Onlookers like you could tell that she seemed to have taken an interest in Dai Zhenan.

You and Wei Shuxian exchanged glances, both revealing a hint of amusement in your eyes.

Truth be told, the evil energy Shangguan Jinzhu had encountered was extremely limited; at most, it could only cause her to have a few nightmares, something the human body could resolve on its own. However, for you, this was a good opportunity to play matchmaker for the two of them.
