Chapter 136: with translation of chapter title

Those three little ghosts are worth a lot of points.

Each one is worth three points, the same as a ferocious ghost.

After all, for invaders, the Chinese nation hates both humans and ghosts the most, so naturally they receive a high score.

Eighty-two points plus nine points, now she is four points shy of the ninety-five-point passing line.

As long as no points are deducted, she only needs to catch four more ghosts to pass.

The scores have been settled, and the items have also been taken away.

Tushan Jiu left the office with a smile on her face.

Just as she stepped out of the alley, Tushan Jiu almost bumped into a woman.

This woman, her dress all wrinkled, reeked of alcohol from head to toe.

She staggered as she walked, still holding an opened bottle of baijiu; she turned her head to look at Tushan Jiu, eyes glazed, tone harsh: "Who the hell are you, blind as a bat? You almost knocked me over—if you knock me down I'll have to pay, you know that?!"

Tushan Jiu looked at the drunken woman, then at the male ghost over fifty lying on her.

She thought, Lu Ze Yuan acted pretty fast, forcing the person back to the country so quickly.

But I guess Lu Ze Yuan didn't expect that, before he could press further and have Lu Cheng return to kneel before his father to apologize, the person ended up dead at that woman's hands.

That's right, this woman is Han Linran, Lu Ze Yuan's stepmother, and that male ghost is Lu Cheng.

Lost in thought, Tushan Jiu lifted her foot and kicked Han Linran into the nearby trash pile.

Such an alley isn't particularly dirty, but it's not clean either.

Next to the trash pile happened to be feces left by a stray dog that had passed by not long ago.

But her mouth is foul; can Tushan Jiu still tolerate her?

Han Linran was dazed by that kick.

Already dead drunk, now she didn't even care about the dog feces beneath her, just collapsed and fell asleep.

And the Lu Cheng lying on her had completely lost his humanity.

His bloodshot eyes bit into her scalp, as if trying to rip a layer of skin off her.

Tushan Jiu raised an eyebrow, finding it somewhat interesting.

But she couldn't be bothered to waste time on them, turned and got into the car.

Dog eats dog—whether it's a person and a ghost, they won't stop until one is dead.

After all, did Han Linran not know about that matter back then?

She knew, but she turned a blind eye.

She wanted to reap the benefits after the deed was done.

Even when Lu Cheng was almost discovered by a servant once, she helped him cover it up.

Heaven's way cycles; who can escape retribution?

She accidentally killed Lu Cheng, who had returned to the country with nowhere to go and relied on her, and Lu Cheng, resentful, would also take her life!

Tushan Jiu closed the car door and glanced over again through the window.

All she saw was the usual black cat passing by Han Linran's side, tilting its head to look, then retreating.

It bent its hind legs, half-squatted on her and sprayed urine, then lifted its chin and walked away with a cat's gait.

Tushan Jiu in the car happened to see this and burst out laughing, "pfft".

This little cat is quite fun.

She told the driver, Zhang Haoyun, to head back to the old residence.

Zhang Haoyun restarted the car.

She needed to get back to work preparing to meet this year's installment knife seller KPI.

Otherwise the old man would probably urge her again.

Little did she know, after she left, a young man in a long leather coat, wearing a mask and hat, walked over from a diagonal alley opposite.

He glanced at the person and ghost on the ground, then looked toward the distant departing vehicle.

After a moment he withdrew his gaze and walked toward Han Linran and Lu Cheng.

After returning to the old residence, Tushan Jiu first went to the backyard.

The room previously set aside for her dowry, she had already had Butler Wu and the others remodel it, placing many refrigerators and freezers, even a tank for keeping seafood.

Because things transformed by ghost power have a long shelf life; meat put in the fridge and frozen for two or three years won't spoil.

Otherwise, if it's seafood such as "living things", it can stay alive in any water.

In fact, even without water, they can jump around on the ground.

Just to avoid looking too special, they made a large water tank.

After finishing those, another hour passed.

Tushan Jiu went back to her bedroom to take a shower, changed clothes, and went downstairs to eat lunch.

Before, Xie Shiyu would occasionally come home for lunch at noon; now he always eats directly at the company.

Only Mr. Xie senior and Xu Aixue remained in the dining room.

Xie Wenmo also went to the company.

While eating, they chatted, and Tushan Jiu also asked about Wang Mumu's recent situation.

Xu Aixue said she had gone to the Guo family the day before to visit her; Guo Liheng had been staying by her side, and the psychologist had been helping her with treatment, so her mental condition is much better now.

But whenever she sees mirrors or cosmetics, she still reflexively hides.

Tushan Jiu sighed; there's nothing to be done—Wang Mumu has PTSD and won't get better anytime soon.

Unless the psychologist hypnotizes her and buries that fearful memory deep.

Otherwise, she cannot possibly make a full recovery.

After eating, Tushan Jiu told Xu Airu and Old Master Xie that the ghost-power-transformed food and wine were placed in her room in the backyard, letting them take what they needed themselves; the password is still the initial one.

Upon hearing there was ghost-power wine, Xu Airu immediately became interested.

Because she is also allergic to alcohol and has never tasted wine, she is very curious.

Moreover, hearing Tushan Jiu say that wine wouldn't cause an allergy, she couldn't wait to go get a bottle to try the taste.

Xu Airu, whether in the Xu family or the Xie family, has been well raised.

Even though the Xie family had once declined for a period, Xie Wenmo never let her suffer.

So her personality sometimes is like that of a little girl, somewhat lively and lovable.

People say women are like flowers; they need careful nurturing to bloom beautifully.

This is fully manifested in Xu Airu and Xie Wenmo.

After eating, Tushan Jiu wasn't in a hurry to go out to pawn a knife, after all, the driver also needs to eat and rest.

She also wasn't in a hurry; it was a good time for a nap.

Since her schedule recovered, this habit of hers has returned.

When she opened her eyes again, it was already 2 p. m.

She washed her face and then set off for the bustling district of the central area.

When she went out, she carried the crossbody bag that Xie Wenmo bought for her; it's indeed convenient for her to pull out things.

This time, pawning a knife is not just a nail clipper.

According to tradition, it's either a kitchen knife or a pair of scissors or something like that.

Actually, Tushan Jiu sometimes doesn't really like to follow the rules.

Because it's really troublesome!

For example, just now she arrived at a supermarket, pulled out a kitchen knife, and before she could even speak, the male boss who is 1.85 meters tall immediately pressed the supermarket's one‑button alarm.

Five minutes later.

Mighty, mighty……

Tushan Jiu was taken away by the police for questioning……
