Chapter 64: Zhang Shicheng is Dead
Li Hanyan said with a smile, “Because she only knows what these things do, but she’s never bothered to learn how to use them. In short, she’s lazy.”
Liu Chuxia burst out laughing. “Hahahaha, if you say that about her, aren’t you afraid Xiao Xu will talk about your little schemes behind your back? Hahahaha.”
“Her? Hmph!” Li Hanyan looked disdainful.
“Alright, after all, you’ve spent more time with her than we have. Why does it feel like you have a deep-seated hatred for her?” Liu Chuxia walked over, took her hand, and comforted her.
“Isn’t it a deep-seated hatred? You…”
Before she could finish, Liu Chuxia had already sealed her lips. When she pulled away, she even gave a mischievous little lick.
“Not angry anymore. Aren’t I here?” Liu Chuxia said, stroking her chest to calm her down.
Actually, Li Hanyan had already calmed down when she kissed her. She couldn’t stand it anymore. If your wife is seducing you at every moment, can you feel nothing? Anyway, she couldn’t.
She took Liu Chuxia back to the room, and the moment the door was closed, she kissed her.
In a short while, Liu Chuxia’s delicate moans could be heard from behind the door, enough to make one blush.

“Yanbao~ I don’t want anymore. Don’t come. Even ghosts need to rest,” Xiao Xu said in a delicate voice, lying limply in Ke Yan’s arms.
“You were the one who seduced me first. Now you’re begging for mercy. I won’t let you off so easily. Continue.”
With that, Ke Yan quickly went back to plowing the field.
Just then, the phone in the room rang at an inopportune time. Ke Yan picked up the phone from the table with some resentment.
“Mhm, okay, fine.” Ke Yan hung up the phone. Her expression was a little grim when she looked at Xiao Xu.
Her expression was a little serious. Xiao Xu sat up and asked her, “What’s wrong? Did something big happen?”
“Mhm, the people over there said that Zhang Shicheng is dead, killed by a ghost. Even their special cameras didn’t capture a single ghost shadow, which means this ghost is very familiar with their prison,” Ke Yan said with a frown.
“Quick, go and inform Sister Hanyan and the others.” Just as Xiao Xu was about to get up, her waist was wrapped by Ke Yan. She turned to look at her in confusion.
“Don’t move. This matter is not urgent. They said they’ve already started the investigation and just told me to be prepared to be investigated. Anyway, they won’t be here so soon. Let’s continue.” Ke Yan’s hand involuntarily roamed downwards, found the spot, and broke in.
Xiao Xu’s mood was now both anxious and enjoyable. She thought she would inform everyone after they were done.
In the evening
Xiao Xu brought the last dish to the table, and the group began to eat.
“Let me tell you something. They called earlier and said that Zhang Shicheng is dead. The investigation revealed that he was killed by a ghost. The special surveillance cameras didn’t capture anything, which means this ghost is very familiar with the prison. They told us to be prepared to be investigated,” Xiao Xu said, eating the shrimp Ke Yan was feeding her.
“Dead? Why do they want to investigate us?” Liu Chuxia said, chewing on a piece of chicken Li Hanyan was feeding her.
The group had no sympathy for Zhang Shicheng’s death, but they still had to find out how he died and who killed him.
Jiang Jiajia put a piece of braised pork in Xiao Nian’s bowl, but Xiao Nian just wouldn’t eat it. There were already several pieces of meat and shrimp in her bowl.
Jiang Jiajia had a bit of a headache. She didn’t know how to coax her, but she still forced herself to discuss it with everyone.
“Investigating us is probably because of that video. They think we’re being monitored. They’ll probably come to our bookstore to search for things,” Jiang Jiajia said, peeling a large shrimp and bringing it to her lips.
But she just wouldn’t open her mouth. Jiang Jiajia had no choice but to whisper in her ear, “Can we discuss it properly when we get back? Let’s eat first. You haven’t eaten much today. I’m worried.”
Only then did Xiao Nian look up, her eyes red as she opened her mouth and ate the shrimp.
“Didn’t they give us that video? Is this a fishing expedition?” Liu Chuxia said angrily.
“Don’t be angry. It’s not good for your health. I’ll go and make a call to discuss it with them,” Li Hanyan said, holding her hand and comforting her gently.
This topic was thus terminated by Li Hanyan.
The three humans and two ghosts sat in the living room of Li Hanyan’s room, waiting for the result of her discussion with the other party.
“It’s impossible for our bookstore to have other surveillance. It’s not that easy for a fierce ghost to get in without anyone noticing. There must be something wrong on your end. I suspect there’s a mole,” Li Hanyan said calmly, holding the phone and Liu Chuxia’s hand.
“We’re just going to take a look. We absolutely won’t rummage through your things. As for your claim of a mole, I will verify it. But please cooperate. It’s an order from the higher-ups. We have to carry it out,” the voice on the other end was deep and powerful, and one could also hear the commanding tone of a superior.
“Don’t use that tone with me. You’re definitely not coming to the bookstore. I’ll go and talk to the higher-ups.” With that, she hung up and dialed another number.
The moment it connected, Li Hanyan said without any nonsense, “Rescind the order to come to our place.”
The other side was silent for a moment before speaking, “The key figure is dead. We were hoping he could lead us to the mastermind, but with his death, all the clues are gone. The people below suspect that something is wrong on your end, because you were the only ones who received this video.”
“What? You suspect it too? Li Song, don’t be foolish. For ghosts, are you easier to deal with or are we Spirit Masters easier to deal with? Why don’t you start by investigating internally?”
There was another moment of silence on the other end. After a long while, he said, “Alright, I’ll conduct an internal investigation. I’ll also rescind your search warrant.”
Only then did Li Hanyan hang up and let out a breath.
“Hanyan, you’re amazing!” Liu Chuxia had heard everything clearly from the side. After all, Li Hanyan had put it on speakerphone, so all three humans and two ghosts had heard it.
“It’s not for nothing that we provide technical support every month,” Xiao Xu said, leaning against Ke Yan’s embrace.
Jiang Jiajia wrapped her arms around Xiao Nian’s waist and said, “These things are just cooperation. It doesn’t matter who they look for. He probably had his own calculations in mind, and even had a candidate. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so easy to talk to.”
Li Hanyan nodded. “Indeed. But he will still give some face to the Liu family. After all, no one would offend a family over a small matter. But this matter still needs to be told to the people in the family, so that they can be more vigilant during this period and preferably not get involved with the people on that side.”
Jiang Jiajia nodded. “Then let’s go and tell Wanfeng, and ask if those two have been found.”
“Which two?” Liu Chuxia asked, looking up at her.
“The cases of the two men who came with Zhang Shicheng. One was pushed into the water, and the other was raped and then killed. Both are male ghosts.”
“It seems that boys also need to be careful at night,” Liu Chuxia said with a frown.
“After all, the population is large. It’s not strange that there are all kinds of people,” Jiang Jiajia said, then took Xiao Nian’s hand and went out, dialing Zhang Wanfeng’s number on her phone.
