Chapter 828: Chapter 828: The Pancake Seller of the Northern Song Dynasty

Watching his departing figure, you couldn’t help but give a wry smile and shake your head, then you handed the popsicle in your left hand to a little boy passing by and started walking down the street, licking it with relish.

Accompanied by the roar of the sports car’s engine, Xu Hai drove his luxury car into your sight.

"Weren’t you supposed to be squandering your youth?" you said with a laugh.

Xu Hai didn’t speak but stared straight at the popsicle in your left hand, "Damn, where’s my popsicle?"

"Dropped it."

"Buy another one, only with a popsicle can you get in the car!"

Before turning around to buy another popsicle, you gave Xu Hai the middle finger, a tall one.

After bumming around with Xu Hai in the sports car all afternoon, when night fell, you stepped out of the thirty-million-dollar car and couldn’t help but sigh, "Indeed, for second-generation rich kids who won at the starting line of life, life really is full of flavor."

Xu Hai also got out of the car, cheerfully saying to you, "For people like us, it’s not about winning at the starting line of life, but rather being born at the finish line."

You rolled your eyes and suddenly realized that since you got to know this guy, rolling your eyes had become a habit.

"What time is it?"

"Nine in the evening, where are we heading to next for fun?"

"What fun, we’ve got serious stuff to handle."

"Serious stuff?" Xu Hai was taken aback, "What kind of serious stuff? Are you talking about that girl with the baby face and huge boobs who kept giving you come-hither looks when we were skewering by the beach?"

Forget it, sometimes you just can’t get through to this guy.

Seeing you turn towards an alleyway not far off, Xu Hai lazily locked the car and slowly followed behind you.

"If you’re going to follow, then follow, what’s with staying five or six meters behind?" Seeing Xu Hai keeping a distance, you couldn’t help but ask, walking ahead.

"Of course, it’s to draw a clear line between us, who knows if Qin Family’s crazy dog might suddenly run out and bite you."

Now you even saved the effort to roll your eyes, just turned around and kept walking on your own.

At this point, Xu Hai caught up to you, putting his arm over your shoulder and saying, "Brother Yun, we’re good brothers, right?"

"Yeah, what’s up?"

"Nothing much, I’ve always believed that as a real man, as long as there’s a loyal and capable brother, and a beautiful wife, that’s enough for a lifetime."

You pursed your lips: "During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a guy, he had a very beautiful wife, and his brother was extremely loyal to him."

"Oh? Who was this guy?" Xu Hai asked with great interest.

"He was a pancake vendor."

Xu Hai didn’t get it at first, but after a moment, he pushed you, "Screw off!"

Soon, you were standing under a surrounding wall, looking up slightly.

Following your gaze, Xu Hai also looked up to see an old dormitory building, and he said to you, "Do we need to climb the wall?"

"The front door is right there, why climb the wall?"

He chuckled and followed in your footsteps.

Following the address Xu Hai had texted you earlier, the two of you entered the building.

This dormitory building looked even older than the ones you had been to before. Only one or two incandescent lamps were lit in the hallway, giving the dim vision a kind of illusion.

"Hey, Brother Yun, why are there so few people in this building?"

"Probably because the place is too rundown and the transport is inconvenient, so there are fewer tenants. Think about it: fewer renters, the landlords’ income naturally shrinks, and considering the Eastern Sea people landlords, do you think they’d spend money fixing up the place?"

Xu Hai nodded, "That’s true, they’re probably at the municipal government gates every day clamoring for housing compensation, waiting for demolition."

Chatting away, the two of you quickly made it to the fourth floor.

As soon as they reached the fourth floor, a scream echoed through the corridor!

"Don’t come any closer, don’t come any closer!"

Amid the cries for help, the door suddenly burst open, and Chen Ming charged out of the room, his face full of terror!

In his panic, he shoved past them and dashed downstairs, sprinting wildly toward the outside.

At that moment, you turned your head and saw a white shadow slowly drifting out from Chen Ming’s doorway, her head hanging down, her face obscured by a cascade of black hair, her body gently hovering in mid-air as she stared straight at you.

"Hey, Brother Yun, what are you doing?"

Xu Hai seemed unable to see the ghost by the door, noticing you staring intently down the dark corridor, his neck also shrank unnaturally.

A few seconds later, the figure had drifted back inside.

You didn’t walk over but instead turned to go downstairs: "Let’s go, we need to catch up with Chen Ming, this guy must have something to do with Wen Yi’s death!"

As Xu Hai ran beside you, he asked, "Did you just see Wen Yi’s ghost?"

"Yep."

As soon as they burst out of the dorm building, they heard Chen Ming screaming again!

"The alley on the left, quick!"

When the two of you arrived at the scene, you found Qin Feng gripping Chen Ming by the neck, lifting him clean off the ground.

That brazen expression, that arrogant posture was just like the boss from some fighting game.

"Speak up, did you kill that girl?"

Qin Feng turned to glance at you and Xu Hai, his smile growing even more audacious.

"Guh... cough cough..."

Chen Ming seemed in immense pain, his face turning red, his expression twisted with discomfort.

"Hey, are you stupid, how can he talk when you’re strangling him?" Xu Hai couldn’t bear to watch any longer and finally spoke up in reminder.

"Hmph!"

Qin Feng snorted coldly, tossed Chen Ming aside, and then stomped fiercely on his chest!

"I’ll give you one last chance, talk now, or I will kill you!"

"It wasn’t me, it really wasn’t me!"

Chen Ming clutched his head, curling his body up. He wasn’t begging for mercy but kept on shouting "It wasn’t me," and tears cheaply streamed down.

"Not talking, huh? Hmph!"

Just as Qin Feng was lifting his foot, ready to deliver a brutal stomp, the barrel of a handgun was already pressed against his forehead.

"Qin Feng, I am now accusing you of obstructing official duties and assaulting a witness on two counts. Step back now and leave my sight immediately, or I won’t mind creating a bloody blossom on your forehead for assaulting an officer."

Qin Feng froze, not expecting Xian Qianling to appear here too. After thinking it over, he slowly retracted his foot and stepped back a few paces.

He then gave Xian Qianling a cold glance, turned his head to look at you, and said coldly, "You wait!"

Scratching your head, you said to Xu Hai at your side, "Since when did I attract his ire?"

Xu Hai just shrugged his shoulders.

Zhang Zifeng stepped forward, helped Chen Ming to his feet, and said, "Sorry, we were late. Are you hurt?"

Chen Ming shook his head, desperately trying to wipe the tears from his face, remaining silent.

"Let’s go." Xian Qianling passed by Chen Ming, her voice cold.

Hearing this, Chen Ming shook all over, his head bobbing like a rattle drum: "It wasn’t me, it really wasn’t me!"
