Chapter 696: Chapter 696 To break, broken_1

Early in the morning, at Guihua Cafe.

Just like always, Lei Jianhua carried a tray to Tao Wenwen, with two golden brown slices of toast, a cup of hot milk, a boiled egg, and an apple on it.

After placing the breakfast on the table in front of Tao Wenwen, Lei Jianhua uncharacteristically sat down in front of her, looking at her with a serious expression.

This was the first time Lei Jianhua had ever looked at her with such seriousness, and Tao Wenwen suddenly felt uncomfortable. She wanted to say something but didn’t know what to say.

Staring at Tao Wenwen’s delicate features, Lei Jianhua fell silent for a long while before he finally spoke, "Wenwen, I think... our friendship has reached its end."

"Ah?" Tao Wenwen exclaimed in shock, her originally rosy cheeks instantly turning pale as paper, "Why... Why?"

In fact, Tao Wenwen quite liked Lei Jianhua deep down. They shared similar temperaments and interests and, if they continued to develop their relationship, they definitely could become even... even closer friends.

Lei Jianhua looked steadily at Tao Wenwen and spoke word by word, "I think it’s time for us to start talking about love."

"Huh?"

Tao Wenwen was stunned.

Then, as if performing a magic trick, Lei Jianhua pulled out a bright red rose from behind his back, sprung to Tao Wenwen’s side, knelt on one knee, and said tenderly, "Wenwen, from the first time I saw you, I’ve been helplessly, inexplicably, unimaginably, and incurably in love with you. Wenwen, marry, uh no, be my girlfriend."

Lei Jianhua didn’t know that if he had continued with his original topic and proposed directly, Tao Wenwen might have blushed and shyly nodded her head in agreement just like now with her heart fluttering like a little rabbit inside.

"Wenwen, you agree?"

Seeing Tao Wenwen nod, Lei Jianhua took her hand, his face alight with joy.

Just as Tao Wenwen’s face was a mix of shyness and sweetness and Lei Jianhua was overjoyed, Yang Kai’s voice, full of frustration, came from the doorway, "Damn it! How can this be! A whole crate of beef noodles, my week’s ration just gone like that!"

Following that, Zong Wangyue’s voice could also be heard, "Heh heh, Kai Zi, you still underestimated Wenwen. In Brother’s view, she’s also a courageous and passionate woman, no less than your Nie Ying."

Yang Kai walked in like a pitiful little woman, bemoaning his fate, and said to the blushing Tao Wenwen, "You see, Wenwen, in my eyes, you’re no less than a goddess. In our supernatural detective society, you’re the only one behind Goddess Wu—a true lady. My dear lady, how could you so hastily agree to Little Pen? Show a little restraint, please."

At that moment, Zong Wangyue mischievously asked with a smile, "Hey, Kai Zi, you just said Wenwen is second only to Goddess Wu among the ladies?"

"Yes, that’s right. So, Wenwen, you need to show some restraint, you can’t agree so hastily."

Zong Wangyue then asked, "So where does your Nie Ying rank?"

"Ah, she can rank wherever she wants, right now she’s not even as important to me as a crate of beef noodles."

"Oh? Is that so?"

At those words, Yang Kai reacted as if a mouse’s tail had been stepped on by a cat, and he sprang up instantly.

He turned around with great difficulty, greeted Nie Ying, who stood with arms crossed and a smile on her face, with a shaky voice, "Hi, wife, you’re quite early today."

"Yes, if I hadn’t come early I would never have known that I rank below a crate of beef noodles to you."

As she spoke, Nie Ying reached out a swift hand to grab Yang Kai’s ear, pulling him swiftly towards the outside.

"Aye aye aye aye aye! It’s going to break, it’s going to break! Gentle, be gentle..."

Zong Wangyue watched Yang Kai’s pathetic figure and couldn’t help but spit out a laugh, "Serves you right!"

They were still talking when Xiao Feng and Han Lele walked in together.

"Madman, has the case of the woman haunted by the Ghost Infant been resolved from a couple of days ago?" Zong Wangyue asked Xiao Feng.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Feng said, "It’s been resolved, yeah. But speaking of which, there are just too many girls these days who don’t respect themselves. You wouldn’t believe it, but that woman is not even twenty-five years old, and she’s already had five abortions. At first, I thought there was only one Ghost Infant troubling her, but when I caught them, I pulled out a whole string of them. Since those Ghost Infants are children, I couldn’t be too harsh, so I had to control and bind them with talismans, and in the end, I even paid out of my own pocket to have two monks come over to perform the transcendence rituals for them, sigh!"

"What the heck!" Zong Wangyue jumped up when he heard this, "I only charged 2000 RMB for that case! If you brought in monks for the ritual, didn’t we lose money on that deal?"

Xiao Feng shrugged, "What else could I do? I can’t recite the scriptures to transcend the souls, and Little Yunyun wasn’t around, so we had to bring in monks to chant the sutras."

"Ah, speaking of Boss, why is he so late today? Usually, he would’ve been here by now."

Xiao Feng smiled mysteriously and said to everyone present, "Hey, I’m going to tell you a secret."

"What?"

"Last night, a cute six-year-old loli called Little Yunyun ’daddy’, and after that, Little Yunyun took her to Ladies’ Home, supposedly to look for her mom."

"What?" Zong Wangyue immediately stood up.

"Holy shit!" Yang Kai, who had been tormented by Nie Ying outside, rushed in and asked, "How come I didn’t know about this?"

"You?" Zong Wangyue, Xiao Feng, and Lei Jianhua glanced at Yang Kai and rolled their eyes, "Pfft!"

"Damn! Are you guys looking for a group fight or what?" Yang Kai drew a line on the ground, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to call out when suddenly someone pushed him from behind!

"Damn, who pushed me!"

He turned around to find a disheveled woman with panda eyes and a deathly pale face standing at the door.

"Where’s Xiao Feng!"

The woman’s words were filled with a deadly aura.

Xiao Feng stood up, frowning, and said, "What are you doing here again?"

Han Lele tugged at Xiao Feng’s sleeve and asked, "Brother Feng, who is she?"

Zong Wangyue answered the question for Xiao Feng, "It’s the woman Madman just mentioned, the one who doesn’t respect herself."

"Oh."

Everyone nodded.

"Your supernatural detective society is nothing but a bunch of swindlers!" the woman accused, pointing at Xiao Feng.

"Hey! You should have some conscience when you speak! If it wasn’t for me, you probably would have been driven to jumping off a building by those five Ghost Infants!" Xiao Feng glared back furiously.

The woman, with a menacing face, swept her gaze across the room like a blade, "When you took the case, didn’t you say you could handle everything for me? Why are those things still bothering me now? And what’s more, there’s even more of them!"

Xiao Feng and Zong Wangyue exchanged glances, and the former said with a furrowed brow, "That’s impossible; I definitely performed the transcendence rituals for the five Ghost Infants."

"I don’t care! If you don’t get rid of these things for me, I’m going to sue you! No! I’m going to expose you frauds and your greedy tricks to the media!"
