Chapter 73: Making up one's mind
The alley was dark at night, and the street was brightly lit. When Tan Xuan walked out of the alley, the traffic on the street had resumed. Although there were not many vehicles on the street, the intermittent traffic proved that the city still had some vitality.
After returning to the car, Tan Xuan discovered that Qian Bo and Jiang Yingyue, who had been waiting in the car, looked a little strange. The two of them, one in front and one behind, were pale and looked very nervous, especially when Tan Xuan opened the car door, they both shuddered visibly.
"What's wrong with you guys?" Tan Xuan asked in confusion. He sat back in the driver's seat, took out two tissues and wiped his hands. Although he had just hit intangible Yin objects, he still felt that his hands were dirty, and he would feel disgusted if he didn't wipe them thoroughly.
"I…we just saw a ghost."
Qian Bo said tremblingly, his teeth chattering a little, as if the car was very cold. If they were still drunk when Tan Xuan got off the car, they were completely sober now, all because they were scared sober.
"Did you see a ghost?" Tan Xuan smiled and joked with Qian Bo, "It's not like you haven't seen ghosts before, so why are you so scared? Besides, didn't I tell you that as long as you don't get out of the car, no ghost will dare to get into my car."
"It's easy for you to say that. Ghosts can't get in, but she just hangs around the car, peeking into the car from time to time and laughing. How can I not be scared?" Qian Bo said with resentment, and it seemed that he was quite frightened just now.
"Oh, who is so bold?" Tan Xuan frowned slightly.
"It's a woman. I don't know her, but your girlfriend knows her." Qian Bo turned and looked at Jiang Yingyue.
Jiang Yingyue was also frightened and panicked. She didn't care what Qian Bo called her. She nodded and said, "Yes, it's the pregnant woman we saw before ."
"She's here again?"
Hearing that it was that accomplice, Tan Xuan was no longer anxious. If she hadn't shown up, Tan Xuan would have felt a little uneasy. Now that she had come out, there would be no harm.
"Yeah." Jiang Yingyue nodded. "She passed in front of the car and smiled at me again."
"Smiling at you again?" Tan Xuan's brows, which had just relaxed, frowned again. He couldn't understand why that evil spirit appeared in front of Jiang Yingyue again and again, but just appeared without murdering Jiang Yingyue's life. They were not related at all, so it was totally inexplicable, which made Tan Xuan feel a little uneasy.
"She just smiled, and then seemed to be frightened by something. She suddenly disappeared." Jiang Yingyue said with lingering fear.
Seeing how frightened they were, Tan Xuan smiled casually and comforted them, "It's okay. I just got rid of Wang Dongxue's ghost. She must have sensed something, so she ran away in fear."
"You got rid of Sister Wang's ghost?" Jiang Yingyue looked at Tan Xuan in astonishment. Surprise, relief, sadness, all kinds of indescribable emotions surged in her heart, and they were shown on her face without any concealment.
"Hehe..." Qian Bo laughed when he heard Tan Xuan catch up and get rid of the ghost. Although the one he got rid of was not the one that appeared in front of the car later, Qian Bo also felt a lot more relaxed.
Qian Bo returned to his usual smiling state, turned around and teased Jiang Yingyue, "Xiao Jiang, I have to criticize you for questioning Tan Zi's ability. You must have confidence in Tan Zi. Let alone a little female ghost, when he saved me, he beat three evil ghosts to ashes with one move..."
Praising yourself does not show your ability, but when someone else praises you, the effect is different, especially when the person praising you is Qian Bo. He says that Tan Xuan has extraordinary abilities, that he can kill a little ghost with a slap, kill an old ghost with a kick, and even kill someone with a breath. He is like a living immortal, and he is young and promising, and most importantly, he is still single.
"Brother Qian, have you also encountered a ghost?" Jiang Yingyue didn't pay much attention to Qian Bo's other words, but she was very interested in what Qian Bo said about encountering a ghost. After all, she was finally not the only one who saw a ghost.
Qian Bo sighed, looked out of the car, smiled bitterly and said, "What do you mean I have to meet a ghost? I was almost killed by a ghost. If it wasn't for Tan Zi saving me, the grass on my grave would be a foot high. We are lucky to have Tan Zi protecting us, otherwise, like your former colleague, wouldn't it be..."
When Qian Bo saw Jiang Yingyue's expression getting depressed again, he knew that he had said something he shouldn't have said, so he quickly shut his mouth. His colleague secretly hinted to Tan Xuan that it was his turn to speak.
Tan Xuan fastened his seat belt, turned his head to look at Jiang Yingyue who looked depressed, and said, "You don't need to be sad. Although it's a pity that Wang Dongxue died, she doesn't deserve your pity. I chased her to the alley just now and asked her, and she also confessed that she killed you because she had a grudge against you. She died and you didn't, she was unwilling to accept it, so she wanted to take you away. Now that she has been eliminated by me, you can relax. As for the female ghost you saw twice, you don't have to take it seriously. If she dares to come out again, I will make her never come back."
Consoling others is not what Tan Xuan is good at. After all, he has little experience in this area, let alone talent. However, the effect is good. Jiang Yingyue immediately recovered from her sad mood. Because after listening to Tan Xuan's words, she did not have any good feelings towards Wang Dongxue's actions. Instead, she was a little angry. It was not worth it to be sad for such a person.
"Okay, let's go back. This matter has come to an end on its own, and you don't have to worry about it anymore." Tan Xuan did not tell them that there was a big boss behind Wang Dongxue. After they knew about this, they would be unable to help except being afraid, so Tan Xuan simply omitted it.
"Go to work properly tomorrow. If you have any problems at work, go find Brother Qian. If he doesn't help you, I will go to his house to find him. If that doesn't work, I will invite him to my house." Tan Xuan said to Jiang Yingyue in a relaxed tone.
Jiang Yingyue smiled but said nothing, but Qian Bo slapped Tan Xuan in the face, "Stop talking nonsense. It's so hurtful for us brothers to say that. Am I your brother the one doing that job? Xiao Jiang is not an outsider, so you don't have to worry about the work. Just drive quickly."
"okay!"
Tan Xuan agreed and started the car. Qian Bo was anxious to go home, and he was also anxious to go back. After fighting with the ghost, he wanted to go back and wash up thoroughly. On the way, Xiao Di called and said that there was a traffic accident and needed the car, but Tan Xuan refused with a firm attitude. What a joke, the police could not find out that the real murderer of the accident was Wang Dongxue's ghost. What's more, Wang Dongxue had been completely wiped out by himself in this world, and there was no chance to catch the real murderer.
Regardless of whether the process was good or bad, for Jiang Yingyue, the matter was resolved, and it was resolved perfectly. The threat to her life no longer existed, and she got a good job because of a blessing in disguise. The unimaginable experiences of the past few days made her physically and mentally exhausted. Now she can finally sleep peacefully. Although she lives in someone else's house, it is still her own rent, and it is safer to live there. She went to bed early when she returned to her residence, but she slept later than Tan Xuan. She was going to work in a new environment tomorrow, and she was a little nervous and excited, so she couldn't sleep.
The next day, Tan Xuan was awakened by the doorbell. When he opened the door, he saw that it was Xiao Di.
"Why are you here?" Tan Xuan asked puzzledly. His house hadn't had a guest for several years, but he didn't expect it to be lively these two days. The key point was that Xiao Di came too early, and there was no movement in Jiang Yingyue's room. She probably hadn't woken up yet.
Xiao Di ignored Tan Xuan's unenthusiastic attitude and started to question him as soon as he entered the room: "There was another traffic accident last night. I asked you to accompany me, but why didn't you go? Someone died again. Did you know that the accident scene was almost exactly the same as the one with Jiang Yingyue's colleague..."
"I know. You find a place to sit for a while. I'll brush my teeth and wash my face first." Tan Xuan didn't care about Xiao Di's attitude. He went straight into the bathroom and closed the door.
"Hey..." Xiao Di was speechless for a while, and chased directly to the bathroom door, venting his dissatisfaction loudly through the door, "What's your attitude? Another person died. Aren't you afraid that another evil ghost will come out to harm people?"
Tan Xuan didn't answer, but the door of the master bedroom opened. Jiang Yingyue stood at the door with sleepy eyes, yawning and greeting Xiao Di, "Good morning, Xiao Di, you're here?"
Xiao Di was stunned for a moment, then nodded to Jiang Yingyue half a beat late, and said in surprise: "Ah, good morning, you still live here?"
Tan Xuan opened the bathroom door. He had just washed his face and had not had time to dry it. He said to Xiao Di in a bad mood: "Nonsense, Xiaoying has become my tenant. If she doesn't live here, where else can she live?"
"She rented your house and is your tenant?" Xiao Di's eyes widened in disbelief .
Tan Xuan did not explain anything, but asked: "Have you had breakfast?"
"What should I eat? I thought it was time for you to finish work, so I came to your place. Look at this photo I took of the car accident scene last night. I arrived late, and by the time I got there, the police had already taken the deceased away."
"Then go out and buy some breakfast. We haven't eaten yet." Tan Xuan said as he wiped his face. He didn't even look at the photo. After all, he made the deceased die again last night in a more pure way.
"Ah!" A guest was ordered to go out and buy things. Only a bastard like Tan Xuan could do this. Xiao Di was completely speechless, but he had no way to refuse. He could only suppress his temper and turned around to go out again.
After breakfast, Tan Xuan drove Jiang Yingyue and Qian Bo to their workplace. Of course, Xiao Di was also in the car to join in the fun. During breakfast, Xiao Di was a little surprised to hear Tan Xuan introduce a new job to Jiang Yingyue, but when she knew that it was arranged by Qian Bo and their leader, she completely understood.
"Is what happened last night related to ghosts again? You have been avoiding talking about it. Did you know about it a long time ago?"
As soon as the car started, Xiao Di couldn't wait to ask Tan Xuan. Jiang Yingyue was there just now, so she didn't dare to ask too directly, not wanting to affect Jiang Yingyue's mood. Now that there was no one else in the car, Xiao Di didn't have so many concerns.
Tan Xuan nodded slightly, "That's right, the accident last night was caused by those bastards, and the real culprit was Xiaoying's former colleague Wang Dongxue. When Wang Dongxue left with the ghost of the deceased, I got rid of him."
"Ah! You got rid of them, and Wang Dongxue came out to harm people just a few days after her death?" Xiao Di was stunned. She had no doubt about the result of Tan Xuan's actions, but she didn't expect that the one who harmed people was Wang Dongxue. This was something she didn't even dare to think about.
Tan Xuan sighed and said quietly, "Turning ghosts into minions is a quick process. Have you forgotten Sun Shunli? Not only did Wang Dongxue become a minion, but the person who died last night also became a minion."
"Ah!" Xiao Di's face was full of disgust when he thought about being at the mercy of others even after death.
"These evil spirits are so hateful. What can we do? Can we just watch them harm people?"
Tan Xuan sneered and shook his head, "No, some things can't be avoided. They can't hide, and neither can I. This is their fate, and my fate as well. I have to find a way to eradicate them."
Thinking of what Sister Quan'er said to him on the way back from Tongyu, Tan Xuan smiled bitterly in his heart. It turned out that what was coming could not be avoided. Those evil ghosts had now chased to Jiangzhou. How could he continue to turn a blind eye? Since he could not avoid it, he would just face it directly.
