Chapter 325: 328, you’re a Major General, are you afraid of ghosts?

"Achoo—!"

Bai Qiantan, who was hiding in a storage cabinet in an office on the fourth floor of the Great Bright Light Cinema, sneezed and then rubbed her nose.

"Who is taking their time to come and get me? What’s the time now..."

She murmured to herself. One side of the storage cabinet door was ajar, conveniently next to a window. Using the moonlight from outside, she glanced at her watch, "Hmm, half past midnight..."

There had been constant noise from downstairs, but Bai Qiantan didn’t move rashly; she remembered the Major General’s words—

"You run upstairs and find a place to hide, and unless it’s me coming for you, hide well no matter who comes up! Got it?"

What a pity her phone and such had been taken away by the villains earlier, otherwise she could have called Ah Leng to pick her up.

...

Lu Ziqing hadn’t been home for the past few days, staying in a hostel instead.

Images of Tang Xiaohua kissing Wen Nian haunted his mind.

Apart from that, Lu Ziqing truly had an overload of information to digest that night.

The words Tang Xiaohua said to him in the restaurant were cryptic, yet they forced him to believe.

Rebirth...

The light in the room was off, and Lu Ziqing lay on the bed, staring at the dark ceiling.

If he could live again... yes, he definitely wouldn’t go to Xilin. He’d stay in Anlin to pursue his wife, and thinking of Wen Nian’s final expression infuriated Lu Ziqing.

But on the other hand, would Xiao Hua tell Wen Nian these things?

Such cryptic talk of rebirth.

Had she said... maybe he was the only person in the world she could tell these things to?

Considering this, Lu Ziqing felt somewhat more at ease.

So tired... the night was truly too long.

The rebel army from M country actually dared to come to G country’s territory to engage in kidnappings and ransoms.

He wondered what kind of person the leader of the rebel army was, to be so bold... but unfortunately, they were brave but foolhardy, resulting in their men either dead or captured.

In a daze, Lu Ziqing shut his eyes, feeling that there was something he hadn’t done yet, but he couldn’t remember what... Hmm...

Suddenly! Lu Ziqing sat bolt upright, his eyes wide open, he murmured to himself,

"That girl couldn’t be that old-fashioned, could she..."

After a moment of careful thought, Lu Ziqing’s weary body fell back onto the bed, and he closed his eyes, "No, that wouldn’t be the case, all of the Bai Family are shrewd."

Five minutes later, Lu Ziqing left the hostel; it was already past three in the morning.

Even a military man had his burdens — one can never be too careful.

Lu Ziqing hurried towards the Great Bright Light Cinema, not finding any taxis along the way, he picked up a shared bicycle and rode over there. Fortunately, it wasn’t too far and only took about a quarter of an hour to reach.

The entire cinema was still under blockade, with about two squads of armed police officers completing the final checks and record-keeping.

"Commander Lu?"

It was fortunate that one of the remaining officers recognized Lu Ziqing, otherwise, it would have been difficult to even get in.

"Has Miss Bai with surname Bai come out?"

"Who?"

The squad leader was not very clear,

"We just came on shift two hours ago, we aren’t sure about what happened before, but I think everyone should have already left by now — those going home have gone home, those sent to the hospital have been sent to the hospital."

Lu Ziqing nodded, "Would it be alright if I go in to look for her?"

"Sure, go on in then. All the floors are open."

the squad leader said.

Lu Ziqing vaguely remembered that he had told Bai Qiantan to hide upstairs, so he started searching directly from the fourth floor,

"Miss Bai! Are you still here?"

The fourth floor of the Great Bright Light Cinema was one big work area, with offices to either side.

He searched while calling out, but no response came.

Lu Ziqing believed his shouting was loud enough and concluded that she must have already left.

He thought to himself, there must be a limit to being foolish.

Just then, the lights on the fourth floor flickered once, and then the entire floor went dark!

Lu Ziqing was startled for a moment, wondering if the circuit breaker had tripped.

He was about to take out his phone when he caught a glimpse of a beam of light out of the corner of his eye and instinctively turned his head around, only to be confronted by a ghastly visage right before his eyes, clad in a fluttering white robe, with the hem brushing against his hand, "Holy shit...!"

Lu Ziqing threw a punch without hesitation!

"Ugh!"

"Thud...taptap."

The muffled groan of the woman and the sound of the flashlight hitting the ground resonated, but Lu Ziqing didn’t wait around and immediately retreated ten meters away.

"It’s me... Boo hoo hoo..."

A suppressed and painful voice emerged.

Lu Ziqing’s whole body bristled with hair, and with a furrowed brow, he ran into the corridor and took out his cellphone to light up the circuit breaker.

With a "click," he pushed the circuit breaker back up.

The lights on the fourth floor came back on, and only then did he return to the spot, to find Bai Qiantan lying on the ground, covering her nose, with an expression of intense pain.

"What the heck were you doing just now!"

Lu Ziqing approached her with annoyance and irritation, hastily helping her up, and as she loosened her grip, blood began gushing from her nose.

As she was about to tilt her head back, Lu Ziqing pressed down on the back of her neck, "Don’t tilt."

He used his other hand to gently press on a point just above her nostrils.

"What was I doing! What time is it now, why did you only get here now?"

Bai Qiantan glared at him, accusatory.

Lu Ziqing could hardly admit that he had forgotten, so he had to say,

"Um... it took some time to investigate downstairs..."

Little did he know, Bai Qiantan gave him a sidelong glance and snidely remarked, "You’ve changed your clothes... don’t tell me you went home for a nap before you suddenly remembered about me?"

Lu Ziqing felt as though he had been stabbed in the chest,

"How could that be."

"How could that be?"

Little did he know, Bai Qiantan leaned in with her still-bleeding nose to sniff him,

"What are you sniffing for no reason?"

"..."

Bai Qiantan frowned, leaned in for another sniff, and said, "Smells like blood."

"No kidding, your nose is bleeding."

"With a hint of the fresh scent of shower gel."

Bai Qiantan said solemnly, looking at Lu Ziqing with disdain.

That really hit home...

"You really did forget about me!"

Lu Ziqing pinched her nose, while Bai Qiantan walked ahead, still talking...

"Your nose is ruined."

"It’s ruined because you hit it!"

"So why did you scare me by pretending to be a ghost?"

"You’re a Major General, and you’re afraid of ghosts?"

Bai Qiantan looked at him, leaving him speechless.

In truth, Lu Ziqing really wasn’t scared of ghosts. Honestly, someone with his extensive battle experience shouldn’t be scared of such things.

But then Tang Xiaohua had to talk to him about rebirth and souls in the evening, and that had somewhat affected him...

"Miss Bai, I’m here now to pick you up, can you please calm down?"

"What kind of attitude is that, do you have any idea how much of a shock I went through today!"

"..."

"Got stood up by a boyfriend, then ran into a kidnapping and extortion, missed dinner, and had no late-night snack! I slept two hours in a storage locker and now my neck is sore, and then you look!"
