Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Seeing the Paper Man Again_1

At first, the bus was not very crowded, and you and Fan Yi found two seats to settle into.

However, after one stop, a large group of people suddenly surged on board, and soon there was no room to even place your feet.

You were sitting behind Fan Yi; next to her was a fashionably dressed woman sitting on the bus, clutching a Burberry handbag, and although her makeup was not overly heavy, she had clearly put a lot of effort into it.

"Cough, cough."

A cough from an old woman resounded in the bus. As you looked up, you saw Fan Yi standing up. She said to the old woman, "Grandma, please take this seat."

After a few words of thanks from the old woman, everyone went back to minding their own business, looking at their phones or resting with their eyes closed.

Just as you were contemplating whether to give up your seat to the silly girl, you suddenly noticed a fat man wriggling his body like a worm, and his "target" of wriggling was Fan Yi.

Because the bus was so crowded, Fan Yi could not move away and could only frown and look out the window.

"Tsk!"

Impatiently, you clicked your tongue and stepped forward to grab the fat man’s clothes, yanking him backward. You also hooked your foot behind his leg, causing the fat man’s corpulent body to press down on two people behind him and fall heavily to the ground.

"What are you doing!?"

The fat man was quite fierce; he immediately struggled to his feet, ready to throw a punch.

"What am I doing? I am beating the likes of you!"

Your right hand unleashed an "inch strength" punch squarely hitting the fat man’s oily belly. Intense pain caused him to double over, his complexion instantly turning red and then purple as he was unable to cry out because of the pain.

For scum like this, you never held back.

With one effective punch, you did not stop there. You reached out and grabbed the fat man’s hair, covering his ears, yanked him up from the ground, and glared at him with fury in your eyes: "Fat pig, watched too many Island country films, have you? How dare you grope a girl on a public bus?"

By then, some people had started recording you beating up the fat man with their phones.

And you, frankly, did not care in the slightest. The thing you hated most in your life was this kind of scum!

"I, I didn’t, I was just..."

"No excuses! I saw what you did just now, and I’ve got it recorded on my phone, you scum! You degenerate!" you suddenly heard a familiar voice. Turning around, you saw Hu Meili was sitting not far away.

With Hu Meili speaking up, the surrounding crowd started condemning the man.

"You absolutely cannot tolerate someone who corrupts social morals like this!"

"Arrest him and take him to the police station!"

"Yes, take him to the police station!"

...

The voices of the crowd went back and forth while the bus happened to arrive at a stop. After some people disembarked, they still condemned the man on the platform, attracting many onlookers.

"What happened?" A familiar face entered the bus. Seeing you, he was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Comrade Little Li, what’s this scene you’re playing out?"

When you saw it was Zhang Zifeng, you laughed; "Officer Zhang, you arrived just in time. I just caught a ********. What do you think should be done?"

"What? ********?"

Zhang Zifeng approached and glanced at the fat man, then said coldly, "Comrade, this time you’re in big trouble!"

Even though Zhang Zifeng was off duty today, he was still a Level Two police supervisor, duty-bound to uphold justice. He promptly said to the bus driver who was ready to depart, "Driver, please cooperate with me; I need to check the surveillance footage."

"No need, I have it right here."

As soon as Hu Meili spoke up, Zhang Zifeng turned to look at her. That one look was enough; he was completely stunned.

His expression was as if he was basking in the warmth of spring, as if his whole being was bathing in the warm currents of youth.

"Hey, officer, I’m talking to you. Why aren’t you saying anything?"

The straightforward Hu Meili clearly didn’t realize that Zhang Zifeng’s gaze towards her was very different from others.

"Oh, oh, sorry. Could you please lend me your phone for a moment? I’ll copy the evidence at the station and return it to you afterward."

"Alright."

Hu Meili nodded, handing over her black Xiaomi phone to Zhang Zifeng with ease.

To protect the privacy of women, Zhang Zifeng did not involve Fan Yi, as his attention was focused on Hu Meili the entire time.

Before leaving, Zhang Zifeng made sure to whisper in your ear, "Oh, right, Captain Xian is back. Be careful these days; it seems she’s not in a good mood."

You were immediately puzzled. "Her bad mood, what does it have to do with me?"

Zhang Zifeng elbowed you in the waist, gave a lecherous wink, and took the fat man off the bus.

As the bus started moving again, you insisted that Fan Yi take your seat.

Fan Yi seemed embarrassed at first, but after your insistence, she eventually sat down and timidly thanked you, "Thank you."

"Next time you encounter something like this, just give a hard slap right across the face; that’ll teach them."

She nodded slightly, and although she agreed, you knew that she probably wasn’t brave enough.

From the beginning, Fan Yi gave you a good impression, firstly because she seemed simple. Her world was clean and pure, probably making this the first time she ever encountered something like this in her life.

However, her pure-mindedness also made her seem somewhat insensitive. Although she had been slightly startled just now, she didn’t care much, considering the person only slightly touched her back. It was mainly because you reacted quickly, otherwise, Fan Yi might well have been taken advantage of by that scumbag.

Later, you chatted with Fan Yi for a bit. She didn’t talk much, but you could tell that she was a girl who loved to smile.

After the car arrived at the station and you were about to head back to the dorm, you received a phone call from Zong Wangyue.

"Zongzi, what’s the matter?"

"Boss, didn’t you ask us yesterday evening to look out for some cheap rental rooms near the school?"

"Yes, did you find one?"

"We did, but the place is a haunted house. The landlord offered a very low price, and he also said that if we could help him exorcise the ghosts, we’d get one year of rent for free."

Hearing this, you laughed immediately, "Great, that’s fantastic! Where are you? I’ll come over now."

"We’re at the computer mall buying stuff and will probably be back late. How about tomorrow?"

"Silly, our field training starts tomorrow; when will we have the chance to meet with the landlord?"

"Oh, right."

Zong Wangyue then remembered that all the freshmen had military training starting the next day.

"The computer won’t be needed right away anyway, so head back first. I’ll wait for you at the school gate. That’s it."

You hung up the phone with assertiveness and then realized that Fan Yi, who had been by your side, was nowhere to be seen. As you turned your head to look for her, you found Fan Yi talking with another girl.

The moment you saw this girl, your brow naturally furrowed.

Because you noticed not only was her forehead darkened, but there was also a wisp of ghost qi swirling above her head—an obvious sign she was entangled with a ghost!

The girl’s appearance and figure were also quite outstanding, and she bore some resemblance to Fan Yi. However, her clothes were out of place compared to Fan Yi. Although it had just entered autumn and the days were still quite hot, nights would cool down. Yet, this girl was wearing hot pants and a top that was oddly styled, deliberately revealing a suggestive cleavage.

Soon, a white Aston Martin supercar approached from a distance and stopped beside Fan Yi and the other girl.

When the car door opened, a handsome man in a suit stepped out and, amid the envy, jealousy, and hatred of all the surrounding girls, walked up to the girl, smiled, and took her hand.

Suddenly, you felt that burning sensation in your left eye again. To your horror, you realized that the white Aston Martin supercar was actually made of paper!

Looking back at the handsome man, you saw that he too was made of paper!

The paper man, in front of everyone, led the girl into the car, and before getting into the car, he intentionally glanced at you, displaying a meaningful smile.

You suddenly had a feeling that this paper man knew you!

He was definitely the same paper man who had taken away the glamorous lady on the highway that day!

As the paper man drove away with the girl who resembled Fan Yi, you hurried to Fan Yi’s side and said, "Was that girl just now your friend?"

Fan Yi nodded and said, "She’s my best friend; we’re from the same village."

Hearing Fan Yi’s words, you couldn’t help but scratch your head with a bit of a headache.

This situation was now rather complicated; you had every reason to believe that this paper man was no ordinary being.

Not to mention his ability to whisk away a living person in broad daylight, just the fact that he could make a paper car with the appearance and performance of a sports car indicated that his power was not weak.

At least with your current abilities, you were no match for him.

Now one thing was certain: this paper man was up to no good, and things were probably not looking good for Fan Yi’s friend.

Seeing the change in your expression, Fan Yi, though a country girl with a simple heart, didn’t mean that she couldn’t understand your look.

She quickly grabbed your arm and asked, "There was something wrong with that person just now, wasn’t there?"

"You noticed as well?" you asked, somewhat surprised.

Fan Yi nodded and then shook her head, "I just felt a very unpleasant vibe from him, and every time Little Lan came back, she seemed very exhausted. I asked her, but she wouldn’t tell me clearly; she was always evasive."

It seemed like she thought of something. Fan Yi looked at you intently and asked, "That person, he... he’s not human, is he?"

"Yes."

You nodded.

"What should we do? Little Lan is definitely in danger!"

Fan Yi’s panicked and distressed expression was not feigned; you knew she genuinely worried about her best friend and could tell that their relationship was deep.

"Jeez!"

You scratched your head again.

"Yun Yun, what are you doing?" At that moment, Xiao Feng’s voice suddenly came from not too far away. "Hey! You sneakily hit on girls at the school gate while concealing it from Goddess Wu!"
