I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse
Chapter 810: Xian Qianling’s Suffering

Chapter 810: Chapter 810: Xian Qianling’s Suffering

After a long silence, Chai Hong finally spoke. Her voice was hoarse, like the sound of a TV without a signal, full of static, completely different from her sweet, magnetic voice when she was alive.

"I’m already dead, taking revenge or not doesn’t matter to me. I don’t have much attachment to this world, but there is one thing... you must do it for me!"

You and the man exchanged glances and said in unison, "You say!"

Ten minutes later, at a street corner, you and your newfound brother sat at a small square table, drinking chilled Wang Xiaoji beverages, while eating skewers and barbecue.

The man across from you gulped down a whole can of drink, tossed it away with a clatter, and sighed deeply.

"Ah."

Looking at you, you asked, "This task isn’t hard for the two of us who are very much alive, and this way, Chai Hong won’t bother us anymore. What are you sighing about?"

The man shook his head slightly; "Buddy, you don’t understand. Chai Hong was in the top three on my future wife ranking. Even if she didn’t marry me, I wouldn’t be discouraged. There’s plenty of fish in the sea, right? But, but such a wonderful, kind-hearted person just vanishing like that, it’s really sad. Life’s not fair!"

"Isn’t that the truth." You also downed your drink in one go.

"Oh, right, I still don’t know your name."

You were startled, then put down the skewer in your hand, and wiped your greasy fingers on your jeans, "My name’s Mu Yun, I’m a high school teacher."

"Xu Hai, just an idle guy."

The two exchanged a glance and then burst into laughter.

Men’s friendship can be effortless, and soon you were walking arm in arm.

After eating and drinking your fill, Xu Hai took you to a nearby parking lot. When the door of a cool sports car, which brand you didn’t recognize, lifted like the wings of a swan, Xu Hai mysteriously pulled you into the car.

As soon as you got into the car, he put his arm around your shoulder—"Hey! Hey hey, don’t get too close, I’m not into that!"

Xu Hai rolled his eyes, "I’m straight as they come, who’s being gay with you?"

"Just say what you need to say, why be all mysterious?"

Shrugging, Xu Hai looked around to make sure no one was nearby and spoke, "The task Chai Hong entrusted can be left to me. I’ll have someone send two million over tomorrow, and then have the Children’s Foundation liaise with the orphanage to ensure their funding isn’t cut off."

"Yeah, that sounds good, solves the problem permanently."

Xu Hai’s approach to things was similar to yours, efficient and orderly, not typical for a wealthy idler.

Xu Hai continued, "The orphanage issue is a small matter; what I’m concerned about is the murderer."

Mentioning the murderer made your expression darken, "Indeed, that person’s method is very seasoned. Someone like that is bound to harm others."

"Exactly, that’s what I mean!" Xu Hai saw that you shared the same view and immediately said, "Hey, buddy, how about we team up temporarily and catch this murderer?"

Without thinking, you nodded, "Such a person must be stopped!"

Seeing your serious expression, Xu Hai nodded earnestly, then thought for a moment and said, "Before that, may I ask you a question?"

"What?"

"I just find it strange, how do you know Chai Hong’s name, and you knew this matter had nothing to do with me, almost as if you were there yourself."

At this, you scratched your head, "Actually, I’m not too sure myself. What happened was you poked a finger in my eye socket, pressing on my eyeball, and somehow, when I made eye contact with Chai Hong, numerous images flashed through my mind, all related to her. It was as if they were glimpses of her life, including the scene where the murderer killed her."

"That’s incredible?"

"Uh. Even though I don’t know exactly what happened to me, it doesn’t seem like a bad thing, right?"

Xu Hai laughed and slapped your shoulder, "What do you mean ’not a bad thing’? This is a fantastic opportunity! If you can control this ability, you wouldn’t have to be a miserable teacher. We could start a supernatural detective agency together!"

"Supernatural detective agency?"

When you heard those three words, a indescribable sensation flashed through your mind, but it quickly faded away.

"Yes, a supernatural detective agency. We’ll specialize in dealing with supernatural events." Xu Hai seemed very excited, "Brother Yun, even though I was scared by Chai Hong just now, I’ve actually been interested in supernatural events since I was a kid. I seek thrill and personally experience the feelings of fear and despair, which for me are the biggest pleasures in life."

"That’s called being a masochist."

Your words were sharp and to the point.

Xu Hai didn’t seem to mind, and chuckled, "Brother Yun, how about it, I’ll be the president, and no matter how our club does financially, I’ll give you a salary of 100,000 a month, with full benefits, holidays off, and even a bonus at the end of the year."

"No way."

You turned and declined directly.

"Why not?"

"I am a noble and honorable teacher, how can I sell myself for money?"

"What about for double the pay, hehe."

"Deal!"

As soon as Xu Hai finished speaking, you grasped his hand and shook it vigorously.

"Huh?"

Xu Hai was completely stunned, not expecting such a drastic change in your attitude.

"I say Brother Yun, what happened to being noble and honorable?"

You curled your lip, "Brother is just a contract worker, and if the school leaders are displeased, they could tear up the contract at any moment, leaving me no better off than a street beggar. Besides, who doesn’t need money these days? After working hard for decades, it all comes down to the basics of living."

After a moment of surprise, Xu Hai gave you a thumbs up, "Brother Yun, regret not meeting you sooner!"

You smiled, "Let’s go."

"Go? Where?"

"Nonsense, obviously to the first scene. The quicker we resolve this the better. The longer we delay, the more people will suffer."

"Alright!"

Haitian Building, one of the landmark buildings in the Eastern Sea, serves as the headquarters of the Haitian Group.

Xian Qianling was sitting in a cafe diagonally opposite the Haitian Building. It was past nine at night, and she was still pouring bitter coffee into her mouth.

Can’t sleep? Might as well stay awake.

Awake, yes, but her heart seemed to have fallen asleep along with Yuhang.

After the event occurred, Wu Qiyi called her almost immediately. On the phone, Wu Qiyi was very calm and explained the whole situation.

Now, Zhao’er was alive, but the person in their hearts had fallen asleep.
