Chu Qingzi had clearly given it a lot of thought.

“Baby, no matter how capable that person is, she can’t be more capable than the police.

“As long as the police can help us catch her, then in the future, you won’t have to be forced by her to do things you hate anymore.”

The faint light in Yu Jiang’s eyes did not become brighter because of her words.

She was very grateful that Chu Qingzi could think of these things for her, but she had also thought of the situation Chu Qingzi described.

“Qingzi, did I not tell you? The reason she can force me to do these things is because she has a reason that I can’t refuse. In addition, she can know what I’m doing at all times. If we go to the police station, she will definitely know.”

Yu Jiang had also directly mentioned to the damn pervert that she would call the police.

The damn pervert had expressed that she didn’t care at all.

At first, Yu Jiang had really believed her.

Later, after thinking about it deeply, she was scared into a cold sweat.

No one could guess a pervert’s thoughts.

What if this was just one of the other’s ways of toying with her? If she really went to the police, the result would probably be…

Chu Qingzi was stunned. “Sorry, baby. I didn’t know it was like this.”

She sat down on the edge of the bed.

From a distance that was neither far nor near, she asked cautiously, “Baby, what reason is she using to threaten you? Can you let me know?”

Yu Jiang naturally couldn’t tell her the truth and had to fabricate an equally perfect excuse that had no flaws.

“If I don’t do as she asks, she will hurt the people I care about.”

Because she had once again lied to the concerned Chu Qingzi, Yu Jiang felt so guilty she wanted to apologize.

Before she could speak, she remembered what she had said and had to force herself to swallow back the words “I’m sorry.”

“Doesn’t she have mental problems? I don’t dare to really provoke her. If I really do provoke her and she does something extreme, that would be terrible.”

After speaking, Yu Jiang smiled lightly, trying to liven up the atmosphere. “It’s okay. The things she’s asked me to do so far are all harmless. If I try hard, I can still complete them. If her requests suddenly become bloody, violent, or illegal one day, then we can consider whether we really need to find the police.”

Chu Qingzi didn’t speak again for a moment.

She didn’t know what she was thinking, just stared ahead, looking lost in thought.

Seeing this, Yu Jiang’s heart tightened, and she hurriedly called out to her.

“Qingzi?”

Chu Qingzi blinked. In a daze, she had already thought of a more appropriate solution.

“She can track all your movements?”

Yu Jiang nodded. “Yes.”

As she spoke, afraid that Chu Qingzi would misunderstand, she didn’t forget to add, “She can’t see what’s happening at home.”

Chu Qingzi wasn’t concerned about that. “Then send her a message now.”

Yu Jiang suspected there was something wrong with her ears and said blankly, “Huh?”

“No matter how unreasonable her behavior is, she’s still a person in essence. As long as she’s a person, she has to sleep.”

Chu Qingzi lit up her phone screen and looked at the time.

“Usually at this time, you’re already asleep, baby. Since she knows you, she must also know your sleep schedule. If I’m not mistaken, a person like her would probably be pathologically consistent with your sleep schedule as much as possible.

“Just in case, we still have to test if she’s really asleep, which is why I’m asking you to take the initiative to send her a message.

“If she’s asleep, she definitely won’t reply.

“After confirming that she’s asleep, we’ll go to the police for help. Once the police help us find that person’s information, the rest will be easy.”

Yu Jiang was a little unable to keep up with her train of thought. “H-how will it be easy?”

Chu Qingzi chuckled. “A person like her must also have secrets she can’t tell. Isn’t it because she has a hold of your weakness that she’s so unscrupulously demanding that you satisfy her wicked tastes? Once we also find something on her, we can turn the tables on her.”

After hearing her detailed plan to turn the tables, Yu Jiang’s eyes shone with an exceptionally moving light as she looked at her.

“At that time, whether you just want to tell her to stop pestering you, or you want to get revenge, it’s all up to you to choose.”

Chu Qingzi smiled and asked her, “Now, shouldn’t you be sending a message to that person?”

Yu Jiang nodded with great vigor. “Okay!”

A flash appeared before her eyes, as if she could see a beautiful and bright future beckoning to her!

Knowing that it was inconvenient for her to see their conversation, Chu Qingzi tactfully stepped aside.

“Then you send it first. I’ll get the clothes you’ll need to wear later ready for you.”

Yu Jiang said okay and lowered her head, starting to frown and think about what to send the nameless pervert.

She wasn’t the type to take the initiative to send messages to the nameless pervert.

Unless she was sometimes provoked by the other person, only then would she do so.

As for the content of the messages, they were all unpleasant things that good children shouldn’t learn.

Now, out of the blue, she couldn’t possibly suddenly curse at her.

Yu Jiang was still worrying about how to test her when Chu Qingzi, who had finished putting together an outfit for her, spoke up. “Baby, why are your brows furrowed so tightly? Is she not asleep yet?”

She told her her dilemma truthfully.

Chu Qingzi thought for a moment and asked a seemingly unrelated question, “Do you have her pinned?”

Yu Jiang nodded slightly in shame. Afraid that Chu Qingzi would misunderstand, she explained in a low voice, “She did this too. I can’t unpin it.”

Chu Qingzi smiled gently. “Don’t overthink it, baby. I didn’t mean anything else. I just wanted to say, since she and I are both pinned, then just send her a relatively cute sticker.”

“Huh?”

“If she replies immediately, then just say you were going to send it to me but accidentally sent it to the wrong person. Since we’re both pinned, it’s normal to accidentally send a message to the wrong person. She won’t overthink it.”

Chu Qingzi considered both outcomes. “If she doesn’t reply after a minute, then just retract it. When she asks tomorrow morning, you can still say you accidentally touched it. How to respond after that will depend on how she replies then.”

“Qingzi, you’re so smart! Okay, then I’ll do that.”

After praising her, Yu Jiang acted according to her instructions.

【(cat peeking.jpg)】

After sending the message, Yu Jiang began to count silently in her heart.

When she reached 60, she retracted the sticker.

This time she wasn’t nervous and didn’t make the major mistake of accidentally deleting it instead of retracting it like before.

Yu Jiang, who had completed the preliminary task, happily waved her phone at Chu Qingzi. “She didn’t reply to me. It seems she’s already asleep. Let’s go then!”

“Okay, but I also have a question for you, baby.”

“What do you want to ask?”

“After you finished showering just now, did you put on a bra?”

The person who spoke had a serious expression on her face, but what she asked was a lewd and obscene question that was completely at odds with her image.

Yu Jiang heard this question very clearly.

And then, because she was too shocked, she froze on the spot.

“Sorry, baby. I didn’t mean it that way.”

Chu Qingzi quickly realized that her words were indeed a bit indecent.

She apologized sincerely and rephrased her thoughts in a more appropriate language.

“I only got your outerwear for you. If you’ve already put it on, then I’ll close the wardrobe door.”

Yu Jiang’s expression relaxed, and she couldn’t help but let out a big breath. “You scared me to death. I thought you were suddenly possessed by some perverted ghost.”

Chu Qingzi apologized a second time. “I’m sorry, baby. I was in too much of a hurry. I’ll definitely not say things that can be so easily misunderstood again.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. But I actually haven’t put it on yet. I’ll get it my—” self.

Before the last word could be said, Chu Qingzi had already quickly pulled a bra out of the wardrobe.

She placed it solemnly on the pile of clothes. “I misspoke just now. I feel a little guilty. I hope you can give me a chance to make it up. I’ve gotten the bra for you. Is there anything else you need me to do?”

Yu Jiang very calmly asked her to leave. “I’ve already forgiven you. We can skip this topic. Go wait for me outside. I’ll come out after I’ve changed.”

After Chu Qingzi had left and closed the door, Yu Jiang, who was wearing a nightdress, got out of bed.

She walked to the foot of the bed where the clothes were folded, took the bra from the top of the pile, and was about to put it on when she thought of how it had been taken out, and her movements couldn’t help but freeze.

Then, once again, she uncontrollably buried her nose in it.

It really does have Chu Qingzi’s scent.

Although it’s just a little bit.

Yu Jiang fiercely despised herself in her heart.

She had just said Chu Qingzi was possessed by a perverted ghost.

In reality, she was probably the one who should have been possessed!

In the dead of night, the police station received a strange report.

When she said she was being pestered by a pervert, the few police officers on night duty all cast concerned gazes at her.

Yu Jiang thanked the policewoman who handed her a glass of warm water, then handed over her phone.

The other took it and asked gently, “Is the evidence all on the phone?”

Yu Jiang had been prepared for her chat history to be seen before she left, so she nodded. “Yes.”

“Okay, then we’ll take a quick look. Please have a seat here for a moment.”

Yu Jiang looked outside.

From her angle, she couldn’t actually see Chu Qingzi, who was standing in her blind spot.

But she still insisted on doing so, as if this would give her more confidence to face everything that was about to happen.

“Miss, are you sure someone is harassing you on WeChat?”

The policewoman handed her the phone with a somewhat complicated expression.

“The pinned contact you mentioned is only this person named ‘Qingzi’.”

Yu Jiang followed her gesture and glanced at the screen.

The chat list, which had originally shown two pinned contacts, now strangely only had Chu Qingzi’s profile picture.

Yu Jiang took back her phone and began to scroll through the list one by one.

The result was no different.

The nameless pervert who had been pestering her and refusing to give up had vanished into thin air.

All traces of her, even the chat screenshots that Yu Jiang had taken in advance and saved in her photo album, were also gone.

The cold wind of the deep night blew in through the crack in the door, causing the temperature in the originally warm police station lobby to drop by several degrees.

Chu Qingzi, who had not followed her in to give her enough privacy, was a little surprised to see her come out so quickly, but still immediately went up to her.

“Baby, are they that efficient? It’s only been a few minutes, and they’ve already found that person?”

After asking, she realized that Yu Jiang was not in a good state.

Her expression was a little dazed, as if she had lost her soul.

“Baby? What’s wrong?”

Yu Jiang was brought back to her senses by her call. Seeing her familiar face full of concern, her psychological defenses instantly collapsed. She threw herself into her arms and cried with great sorrow.

“Wuwuwu, no, they can’t find her, wuwuwu. They can’t find her. Even the police can’t find her.”

She said between sobs, “I don’t know what method she used. When I was looking at home, she was still on my WeChat. But after I gave my phone to the police just now, she just vanished from WeChat into thin air.”

Chu Qingzi clearly hadn’t expected this development either. After a moment of contemplation, she thought of a very unlikely possibility. “Could it be that she’s completely disappeared from your phone?”

Yu Jiang’s crying stopped abruptly.

She tugged on Chu Qingzi’s coat, signaling for her to let her go.

After pulling away from her arms, Yu Jiang looked at her with teary eyes and asked pitifully, “Then should I check now?”

Chu Qingzi told her to wait a moment.

Yu Jiang didn’t know what she was going to do and waited quietly.

Until her chin was gently held by a warm hand and then lifted up.

The two strings of tears that had overflowed from her eyes, because of the change in angle, slid down her cheeks with a pat and finally disappeared into her long hair.

“It’s as if you’re made of water, baby.”

Chu Qingzi murmured with an unclear meaning.

The next second, she used her fingers to wipe away the teary mist that was blocking her vision, bit by bit.

Yu Jiang’s body was stiff, and she didn’t dare to move.

The temperature in the deep night was very low, but the temperature of her heart at this moment was terrifyingly high.

Yu Jiang’s chin was quickly released.

She heard Chu Qingzi say it was okay.

So she obediently lowered her head and took out her phone to check.

She lowered her head so intently that she didn’t see how the person only a short distance away from her brought the long fingers that had just wiped the wet traces from the corners of her eyes to her mouth, bit by bit, and savored them.

When she saw that the pinned bar had returned to two contacts, Yu Jiang was so scared she almost threw her phone away.

She told Chu Qingzi in a trembling voice, “Qingzi, she… she’s appeared again.”

Chu Qingzi followed her gaze to the screen, her brow furrowed. “Yes, baby. I see it too.”

Yu Jiang was about to cry again. “Then… then what should we do? Is… is she human or ghost?”

Can a normal person tamper with WeChat to this extent?

Chu Qingzi knew she was scared, and her voice was exceptionally gentle. “Of course she’s a person. How could a ghost possibly use a phone, right, baby?”

Yu Jiang had just blurted it out. Now that she was a little calmer, she couldn’t help but move closer to Chu Qingzi’s arms.

She was extremely timid. “In… in the middle of the night, we… we should probably not talk about this kind of thing, right?”

Chu Qingzi’s expression darkened for a moment, but her voice was still warm and pleasant.

“Are you very scared of… that thing, baby?”

Yu Jiang sniffled. “Anyone… anyone would be scared, right? Let’s not talk about this, o-okay?”

“Okay, whatever you say, baby.”

Chu Qingzi returned to the previous topic. “Regarding her sudden disappearance, I have a guess. I might have to trouble you to go in one more time.”

Yu Jiang: …
