Chapter 90 Jiang Yingyue's Thoughts
"You saw it again?"
Tan Xuan's expression changed all of a sudden. Shock, anger, confusion... a variety of emotions were expressed on his fair face in an instant. This was more than just a haunting, it was simply a haunting. This was a great shame and humiliation for Tan Xuan, a blatant slap in the face.
"When and where did you see it?" Tan Xuan asked anxiously with a frown.
Jiang Yingyue was startled by Tan Xuan's expression and tone, and replied in a low voice: "It was last night. Brother Qian, I and a few colleagues saw her when we left the restaurant after dinner. She was standing on the side of the road and smiled at me, but she disappeared immediately. I quietly asked Brother Qian, but he didn't see that person at all."
"It disappeared? Then was there any accident near the restaurant last night? Are your colleagues okay?" Tan Xuan asked.
Jiang Yingyue shook her head and replied, "No, I sent messages to every colleague after I came back. I was relieved to know that they all got home safely. But after I came back, I became more and more scared. I couldn't get through to you when I called you. I was afraid that something happened to you, so I didn't sleep much that night. I came out when I heard you open the door."
Hearing that Jiang Yingyue was thinking about him, Tan Xuan felt even warmer in his heart. However, he was even more reluctant to think of her not sleeping all night. After weighing it over and over again, Tan Xuan told Jiang Yingyue the truth: "It's my fault that you didn't sleep all night. It would have been better if I had told you clearly in advance. Actually, you couldn't get through to me last night because I went to the mountains last night. I was afraid that you would worry, so I didn't tell you in advance. I didn't expect that it would make you more worried."
"You went to the mountains last night? What did you do in the mountains at night?" Jiang Yingyue asked with concern. Besides being shocked, her eyes were full of concern and confusion.
Tan Xuan smiled slightly and pretended to be relaxed and said, "I went to check the lair of Wang Dongxue and the female ghost in white. I didn't expect that I really found it. You said you saw the female ghost in white last night, but it disappeared inexplicably and didn't continue to harm people. It must have received the news and rushed to stop me. It seems that the figure I saw at that time was it."
"You saw her too?" Jiang Yingyue asked in surprise, a look of panic appearing on her face again.
Tan Xuan chuckled, "Not only did I see it, I also saw someone you once knew."
"My former acquaintance?" Jiang Yingyue was confused and looked at Tan Xuan in doubt.
Tan Xuan didn't beat around the bush and told the truth: "It was Li Haoran who fell into the river and died with Wang Dongxue."
"You mean Mr. Li?"
Hearing that Tan Xuan was talking about a dead person, or an evil ghost, Jiang Yingyue felt a chill on her back and couldn't help shivering. Thinking of the last time they met, when he wanted to charm everyone, Jiang Yingyue's heart tightened again.
"Mr. Li, are they trying to harm you again? Are you okay?"
Tan Xuan chuckled, scratched his head and said, "I'm fine, but it's him that can't even be a ghost now."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Yingyue asked in confusion.
"It's soul has been scattered..."
Tan Xuan did not hide the secret any more this time. At this point, he knew he should explain the seriousness of the matter to Jiang Yingyue to avoid any other mistakes. So he told Jiang Yingyue everything that happened last night, including some of his discoveries in the past two days. However, he blocked out some parts that he thought might scare Jiang Yingyue.
Jiang Yingyue is not a fool, of course she would not believe that Tan Xuan said that it was so easy and comfortable, he just went to the ancient tomb and came back. From the clothes he changed, it can be seen how embarrassed he was last night. Touched and guilty, she said: "What happened last night must not be as easy as you said, why are you so stupid, you did so many things for me secretly, but why didn't you tell me?"
"I was afraid that you would worry. I thought I could solve the problem without any trouble. I didn't expect those guys to be so cunning. When I found their nest, they had already moved."
"Then why did you choose to tell me now?" Jiang Yingyue asked Tan Xuan with a stern face, but there was no blame in her eyes, but instead it was full of heartache.
"After this incident, I don't know whether the female ghost and the guy behind her will stay quiet for a while or will become angry and retaliate even more severely, so we have to be extra careful. Try not to go anywhere else after get off work these few days. These few accidents were caused by car accidents, and they all happened at night. From now on, I will pick you up when you get off work."
"No!" Jiang Yingyue shook her head and interrupted Tan Xuan.
" What do you mean?" This time it was Tan Xuan's turn to be confused. He looked at Jiang Yingyue in confusion, not knowing which of his suggestions she was rejecting.
Jiang Yingyue looked at Tan Xuan and said sincerely, "Since they are coming for me, if I still take your car, wouldn't that harm you? I can't take your car."
Tan Xuan smiled slightly, his face full of happiness and confidence, and said: "It's okay, if they dare to come, that's exactly what I want. I'm worried that I can't find them. It's best if they come together, and I will catch them all in one fell swoop. Don't worry, if they dare to come, I will make sure they don't return and won't let you get hurt."
Jiang Yingyue looked at Tan Xuan's face, which was confident, resolute, sunny, and more and more handsome the more she looked at him. She was moved and the tears that she had been holding back for a long time finally flowed uncontrollably.
"Tan Xuan, thank you, thank you for helping me like this, regardless of the danger and without asking for anything in return. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do..." Jiang Yingyue covered her face and cried.
Tan Xuan was a little bit at a loss as to what to do because of Jiang Yingyue. He didn't expect that she was fine just now but now she was in tears. It is said that women are fragile, but he seldom comes into contact with women. He didn't know that the change would be so quick, and he didn't know what to say or do at this time.
"Xiaoying, don't be like this. It's my honor to be able to help you. Don't cry. I did all this voluntarily..."
Tan Xuan had no experience in , and no talent, so he could only speak nonsense and give advice. As for the result, it was really unexpected. After hearing Tan Xuan's almost confessional consolation, Jiang Yingyue finally burst into laughter, but when she raised her head, her face and eyes were both red.
"How can you comfort a girl like this? It's all your fault. You ruined my makeup."
"You don't seem to have put on any makeup yet?" Tan Xuan looked at Jiang Yingyue without makeup and told the truth.
"Who said I didn't wear makeup?" Jiang Yingyue pouted at Tan Xuan, turned and left, but she did not go back to her room, but went into the bathroom in the living room.
Tan Xuan was a little confused and asked stupidly, "What are you doing? Aren't your cosmetics in the bathroom in your room?"
"What do you care?" Jiang Yingyue rolled her eyes at Tan Xuan, snorted and said, "You don't even know how to wash clothes that are this dirty."
As she said this, she didn't mind the dirtiness, picked up Tan Xuan's clothes and threw them into the washing machine. She only returned to her room after the washing machine started running.
"What's going on?" Tan Xuan was a little confused, and then a bright smile gradually appeared on his face, "Could it be that she knows what I'm thinking and is moved by my sincerity? Is this her response to me?"
"Well, it's very likely..."
It's not a problem to ask too many questions, but it's a problem to think too much. No matter it's good or bad, as long as you have a direction in your mind, you can't stop it. Tan Xuan asked himself a lot of questions in his heart, and then returned to the room with a smile on his face.
“Dangdangdang…”
Just when Tan Xuan was about to fall asleep, there was a knock on the bedroom door. It couldn't be anyone else, so Tan Xuan turned over, jumped off the bed, tidied up his pajamas, wiped his hair, and opened the door with a smile on his face. It was Jiang Yingyue standing outside the door, but at this time Jiang Yingyue had not only put on simple makeup, but was also dressed neatly, and was holding a bag in her hand.
"You haven't slept yet, have you? I bought some breakfast and brought it back. Let's eat together and then you can rest. Also, I have something to tell you."
After saying that, Jiang Yingyue carried the things to the kitchen.
Tan Xuan was a little confused, but when he saw Jiang Yingyue speaking so formally, he felt uneasy again.
Entering the kitchen, Tan Xuan took the soy milk handed over by Jiang Yingyue and couldn't help asking, "What do you want to tell me?"
Jiang Yingyue picked up a fried dough stick and placed it in front of Tan Xuan, then took another one and took a bite, "You eat first, I'll talk to you while I eat."
"You better speak first." Tan Xuan said with a wry smile, and at the same time put the soy milk in his hand on the table. He was so anxious that he had no appetite to eat.
"Okay then." Jiang Yingyue stopped eating and sat across the table, looking into Tan Xuan's eyes and asked, "Tan Xuan, that female ghost has appeared in front of me again and again. Has she decided to harm me?"
Before Tan Xuan could answer, Jiang Yingyue added, "Don't lie to me. I want to hear the truth so that I can be prepared."
Tan Xuan and Jiang Yingyue looked at each other for a while and nodded slowly, "Yes, although I don't know why the white-clothed female ghost didn't attack you directly these two times, but judging from the behavior of Wang Dongxue and Li Haoran, they wanted to harm you."
"So when will they choose to attack me?"
"It's hard to say." Tan Xuan thought for a while and continued, "From the death of Wang Dongxue and Li Haoran to the last time we encountered Wang Dongxue harming people, there was only a few days in between. According to this inference, the next time they harm people will probably be in the next two days."
"Now that they have run away, will we be unable to find any trace of them?" Jiang Yingyue asked again.
"Yeah." Tan Xuan nodded honestly, "They have gone into hiding again, and indeed they have left no trace. If you want to find them, you can only wait for them to harm people again. Don't worry, if they dare to come looking for you, I will definitely kill them completely."
Jiang Yingyue frowned, sighed and said, "It's not a good idea to be a thief for a thousand days, but it's not a good idea to be a thief for a thousand days. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. It's not a good idea for me to be so nervous all the time."
"This..." Tan Xuan was speechless. What Jiang Yingyue said was true, but he really had no way to solve the current facts.
"Tan Xuan, I have an idea, what do you think?"
"Oh, what do you think? Tell me quickly ." Tan Xuan sat up immediately.
"Since they want to harm me, why should we hide? It's not like I'm afraid of them. Why don't I show up and give them an opportunity? You can protect me in secret. As long as they come out, you can deal with them, right..."
Tan Xuan frowned and shook his head, refusing, "No, using myself as bait is too dangerous. I can't put you in danger."
"If I don't show up, there will be no danger?"
Tan Xuan fell silent as he looked at Jiang Yingyue's resolute attitude. Indeed, the evil ghost had already set his sights on her, and it was only a matter of time before it came.
"Their target is me. The sooner we get rid of them, the less they will harm other people."
Tan Xuan stared at Jiang Yingyue for a while, then nodded slowly, "Okay, but we need to plan it carefully."
