Chapter 37: Jumping back and forth at the gates of hell
"Nuan Nuan, why hasn't your cousin come yet? It's not a good habit for a man to be unpunctual."
Zhang Nuannuan was also confused. Her cousin was always a punctual person, so why hadn’t he arrived today?
"Maybe he got delayed on the way. I'll send him a message to ask."
Zhang Nuannuan used her phone to send a message to Lin Ye, but Lin Ye did not reply. She glanced at her best friend who was looking up at her phone and decided to call and ask.
"It must be something urgent, otherwise my cousin wouldn't not call back."
"It's true that something happened, Nuannuan, is this your cousin?"
The best friend had a weird expression on her face and handed her the phone. Zhang Nuannuan watched the video on the screen. A boy holding a little boy turned around and ran away, disappearing at a very fast speed.
Although the boy ran very fast, she still recognized him at a glance. He was her cousin.
"How could it be, how could my cousin do such a thing, this must be a misunderstanding."
The video was seen by my best friend on WeChat Moments. The person who posted the video captioned: Someone is snatching a child in Henderson Plaza.
"I also think there is a misunderstanding. Your cousin is so handsome, how could he be a human trafficker?"
Listening to her best friend's words, Zhang Nuannuan was a little speechless. It turned out that her best friend judged a person based on appearance. This was the same as those men on the Internet who always said they agreed with a certain lady because she was beautiful.
Zhang Nuannuan kept calling Lin Ye, and on the other side, after Lin Ye took the little boy away, the man looked like he was going to chase him, but his speed was no match for Lin Ye, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Ye disappeared from his sight.
"Why did that brother take Bang Bang away?"
Chen Shanghan stopped and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know the man who took Bang Bang away?"
"Yes, I know him. He's a big brother who lives in our community ."
When Chen Shanghan heard the little girl's words, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he picked up his phone and made a call.
…
… …
In the property management office of Longxi Community, Wang Quan looked confused after hanging up the phone.
Mr. Chen called him to check on a homeowner in the community. According to community regulations, he could not disclose the homeowner's private information, but Mr. Chen's identity was different.
The youngest business tycoon in the city, if put into those urban romance novels that his wife likes to read, he would be a domineering president. Even the former Mr. He had to give Mr. Chen some face.
If he had asked other owners, he would have said it directly, but from the clues given by Mr. Chen, there is only one owner who meets the requirements, and that is Mr. Lin.
Since it involved Mr. Lin, he didn't dare to disclose it privately, and replied to Mr. Chen that he would go and find out about the delay. After thinking about it, Wang Quan decided to call Mr. He.
He didn't have Mr. He's phone number, but he had the phone number of Mr. He's assistant at the company headquarters.
Soon, He Jie learned about this matter through her assistant and was a little stunned. Chen Shanghan investigated Lin Ye?
She knew very well what kind of person Chen Shanghan was. He was notoriously cold-blooded and ruthless in business, and anyone who offended him would have a bad ending.
As a leader in Raocheng's business circle, He Jie naturally had Chen Shanghan's phone number. After thinking about it, she decided to call Chen Shanghan herself to ask the reason.
The call was connected quickly.
"Mr. He, I don't care who that person is, he took my son away."
As soon as the call was connected, Chen Shanghan spoke before He Jie could say anything. He Jie sighed in her heart, thinking that he was worthy of being Chen Shanghan. He could tell that Lin Ye might be related to their He family just from Wang Quan's delaying behavior.
But what surprised He Jie even more was what Chen Shanghan said. Lin Ye had snatched his son away?
Why did Lin Ye snatch his son?
He Jie didn't know much about Chen Shanghan's family, but she had heard from people in the circle that Chen Shanghan loved his wife very much. Unfortunately, his wife died of illness three months ago.
"Mr. He, Longxi Group is a leading real estate company, but if my son loses even a hair, I will drag the entire Longxi Group down with me."
An undisguised threat.
He Jie was also so angry that she laughed, and said coldly: "Mr. Chen is so confident, why not give it a try."
After saying that, He Jie hung up the phone with Chen Shanghan.
After hanging up the call with Chen Shanghan, He Jie rubbed her brows and then called Lin Ye, but no one answered the call.
The park is two kilometers away from the shopping mall.
Lin Ye stopped and looked back at the female ghost following him.
The appearance of the female ghost was the same as the photo on the tombstone of the little boy’s mother, so it can be confirmed that the female ghost is the little boy’s mother.
After confirming the identity of the female ghost, Lin Ye knew why she appeared and why she was so resentful. It should be because she knew that her son was wronged, and she saw her husband being with another woman not long after her death.
If I take the little boy away, the female ghost will definitely chase me.
A ghost filled with resentment is called a vengeful ghost, and its strength is second only to that of an evil ghost.
After being idle in the other world for three years, Lin Ye did not stop to practice meditation. The old Taoist said that it took him ten years to sense the Qi because it was the most difficult to get started in practice. Once the Qi was sensed and entered the door, the speed would slowly increase.
Lin Ye still has confidence in dealing with a resentful ghost.
He led the female ghost away because there were too many people in the mall and he didn't want to expose himself in public.
Even if he is not a match for this female ghost, he is not afraid. If it really doesn't work, he will hide in another world to practice for a few years and come back after his strength is improved.
"I guess I've been treated as a human trafficker this time. I don't know how much merit I can get from it."
Lin Ye muttered in his heart that he would do something extraordinary not only out of chastity, but also out of his own selfish motives, which was to gain merit.
Merit is the fastest way for him to improve his spiritual realm.
Lin Ye put the little boy down and shouted to the female ghost: "Don't get me wrong, I don't want to hurt your son."
If possible, Lin Ye didn't want to take action. It would be best if the female ghost could regain her sanity.
The little boy was put down by Lin Ye. He turned around and saw the female ghost. He was stunned for a moment, and then shouted excitedly: "Mom!"
Lin Ye just breathed a sigh of relief when the little boy called him "Mom". However, the next moment the ghost energy in the female ghost surged up again, and the long hair on her head swept towards Lin Ye and the little boy like branches.
"Stay back."
Lin Ye pulled the little boy behind him and pulled out a short blade from his waist.
He bought this short blade online and usually carries it with him when he goes to and from the other world. According to the shop owner, it is forged from a special material. It's not as exaggerated as being able to cut through iron like mud, but its hardness is definitely far beyond that of ordinary weapons.
Lin Ye carried this short blade for self-defense, but he didn't expect it to come in handy today.
With the short blade in hand, Lin Ye faced the long hair that was sweeping towards him, slashing, pulling, lifting, and stabbing...
The long hair was shattered into pieces by the sharp short blade and fell to the ground. The ghost girl's eyes were bloodshot, and her long hair stood up, even denser than before, and attacked Lin Ye.
Lin Ye was not afraid at all and continued swinging the short blade. Suddenly, two strands of black hair appeared from the ground beneath his feet and quickly wrapped around his legs like vines. Lin Ye was unable to dodge and he exerted force with his feet, causing the long hair wrapped around his legs to break apart instantly.
The long hair was just the ghost energy of the female ghost, but his martial arts had already entered the Hundred Furnaces Realm, and his own blood was enough to dissolve these evil spirits.
After such a fight, Lin Ye was only two meters away from the female ghost.
Lin Ye stretched out his right hand, and a talisman floated out from his sleeve. Then Lin Ye flicked his right hand towards the talisman, and the light talisman shot towards the female ghost like an arrow.
boom!
The talisman burned and turned into a ray of golden light that enveloped the female ghost.
The female ghost enveloped by the golden light instantly became more ghostly, and transformed into sharp arrows that stabbed at the golden light, trying to pierce the golden light shield. Seeing this, Lin Ye hurriedly chanted a spell while making hand seals with his hands.
"Shangqing Zhenyin Jue"
This is a magic method left by the old Taoist at Qingfeng Temple to suppress the evil spirit. As Lin Ye's hand seals changed, the originally shaky golden light shield stabilized again.
The two began to fall into a stalemate.
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Hurry up and call your mother!"
Lin Ye saw that the ghost aura on the female ghost had not become less, and he realized that his judgment of the female ghost's strength was a bit wrong. This person was definitely not an ordinary resentful ghost. He turned around and shouted at the dazed little boy.
"Mom...Mom is Superman!"
Lin Ye: ...
"Superman is not, but if you can't persuade your mother, you will be liberated."
Hearing Lin Ye's words, the little boy called out excitedly, "Mom!"
"Mother!"
At the boy's call, the surging ghost energy of the female ghost in the golden light shield weakened a little. Seeing this, Lin Ye's eyes lit up and he ordered: "Go on, say more touching words."
"Mom, don't you remember me? I am Bang Bang, the Bang Bang you hold in your palm."
"Mom, I miss you so much, Dad..."
"Ruined!"
When Lin Ye heard the boy mention his father, his heart skipped a beat. He was in trouble. And as he expected, when the female ghost heard the word "father", the ghost energy that had just subsided surged up again, even more terrifying than before, and the golden light shield shattered.
The violent ghost energy rolled over, and Lin Ye was pushed back a few steps, while the little boy standing behind him flew towards the female ghost.
Seeing this, Lin Ye tried to stop him, but he was a step too slow. The boy flew to the front of the female ghost in an instant. Facing the somewhat scary face of the female ghost, the boy was not afraid at all. He simply opened his arms and hugged the female ghost's neck.
Then, the little mouth kissed the female ghost on the face.
"Mom, I finally kissed you. Dad never let me kiss you before."
The boy was very happy. Lin Ye watched the ghost aura of the female ghost first decrease and then increase again, and it went back and forth several times, and finally suddenly dissipated.
Lin Ye: ...
This little ghost is jumping back and forth in front of the gates of hell.
