Chapter 121: Rotten Peach Blossom

The next morning, while eating breakfast, Zhang Wei found Danielle, who was eating.

He sat beside Danielle and said, "Consultant Danielle, I think the people in Group B should also accept some common knowledge about Eastern ghosts and monsters."

Danielle frowned and said, "No need, our soldiers will naturally have the protection of the Heavenly Father."

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "It's a pity, this place is not under the jurisdiction of your Heavenly Father."

Danielle said somewhat angrily, "Of course this place is also under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Father!"

Zhang Wei shrugged his shoulders and said, "Fine, I won't argue with you about this, but next time your people encounter that fierce ghost, I'm afraid they will suffer again."

Danielle gave a cold snort and said, "Then don't trouble yourself with that."

"Attention!"

Hu Xin shouted, and everyone stood up immediately.

The stern Hu Xin suddenly started fawning, and he looked to the side and said, "Mr. James, please come in."

Baron James walked in with a slightly arrogant air.

Seeing Baron James enter, Danielle's expression became somewhat awkward, and she asked in a low voice, "Morgan, why did he come?"

Morgan replied in a low voice, "I don't know either."

Seeing the sidelong glance from Danielle, Morgan secretly thought he was unlucky.

Baron James seemed not to have seen Danielle's strange expression, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Danielle, I heard that something happened at the camp, are you alright?"

Danielle kept a straight face and said, "I'm fine, fortunately Consultant Zhang was there, he protected me."

Baron James looked at Zhang Wei, frowned slightly, and said, "Is that so? Consultant Zhang, you did well."

Zhang Wei secretly cursed that this foreign woman and Baron James must have something going on; this foreign woman actually used him as a shield.

Now he was screwed; a bootlicker with power and influence like Baron James basically attacks love rivals indiscriminately—regardless of whether you are one or not, he'll beat you down first just in case.

Baron James recalled Zhang Wei, who was walking very close to Danielle before him, and that he had a connection with Zhang Cheng of Lamma Island.

He gave a cold snort in his heart, then said, "Officer Hu, I came here this time not only to inspect the Ghost-Catching Unit, but also to order one thing."

Hu Xin hurriedly ran over and said, "What orders does Mr. James have?"

Baron James said, "According to intelligence, there is a strange situation in the three villages of Siu Tung Wan. I heard that Consultant Zhang is most skilled in this, so I intend to have him go there."

Zhang Wei glanced at Danielle and said with his mind, "You've killed me this time!"

Danielle also did not expect that Baron James would actually retaliate directly.

She immediately said, "James, isn't this going too far?"

Baron James said with an innocent face, "Danielle, you misunderstood me, I am only doing this for the safety of the residents of Siu Tung Wan."

"As a Royal Police officer, protecting the residents of Siu Tung Wan is also his responsibility."

Hu Xin immediately said, "Don't worry, Mr. James, Sir Zhang will definitely complete the mission."

Baron James smiled and said, "Consultant Zhang holds the rank of Sergeant, right? Once Consultant Zhang resolves the matter in Siu Tung Wan, he can be promoted to Probationary Inspector."

Zhang Wei saw that there was no escaping this, so he had to say, "Yes, sir, I will definitely complete the mission!"

Baron James said, "The people of Ghost-Catching Unit Group A, continue training."

Zhang Wei left the camp immediately, found Uncle Feng, and said, "Uncle, I was sent by the 'ghost guy' to Siu Tung Wan to solve a case. This 'ghost guy' has ill intentions."

Uncle Feng frowned and said, "Aren't you serving as a consultant in the Ghost-Catching Unit?"

Zhang Wei immediately explained, "Yes, but didn't a Group B arrive? The consultant for Group B, Danielle, has a suitor, who is Baron James."

"You know, these 'ghost guys' are in high positions of power, and that Danielle doesn't like this Baron James, so..."

Uncle Feng said with a gloating face, "Oh, I understand, this is a 'rotten peach blossom' (bad romantic entanglement)."

Zhang Wei said with a worried face, "Uncle, you still have the heart to laugh?"

Uncle Feng said irritably, "Of course, you chose this yourself, didn't you? Do you know why I have remained single all these years?"

Zhang Wei was also a bit curious and hurriedly asked, "Uncle, why?"

Uncle Feng laughed and scolded, "It's because I'm afraid of someone like you; once you get involved with women, you'll attract 'rotten peach blossoms'."

Zhang Wei waved his hand and said, "Then I'd rather continue attracting 'rotten peach blossoms'. Uncle, please help me out."

Uncle Feng nodded and said, "Then wait a moment, I'll go ask my Martial Uncle."

Uncle Feng immediately brought Zhang Wei to Lamma Island to pay respects to Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng had long known what Uncle Feng and Zhang Wei were seeking.

Zhang Cheng took out a Seven-Star Copper Sword and said, "I will give this item to you."

Zhang Wei took the Seven-Star Copper Sword and hurriedly asked, "Grand Martial Uncle, can I borrow yours instead?"

Zhang Cheng threw the sword to Zhang Wei, then flicked his sleeve, and Uncle Feng and Zhang Wei appeared at the foot of the mountain.

Uncle Feng patted Zhang Wei and said in a stern tone, "You brat, if you want to get beaten, don't drag me into it."

Zhang Wei rubbed the back of his head and said, "I just wanted a bit more insurance. I feel this sword isn't as good as Grand Martial Uncle's personal sword."

Uncle Feng laughed and scolded, "Nonsense, that is Grand Martial Uncle's personal sword, how could they be the same? Besides, this Seven-Star Copper Sword is also a fine magical treasure."

Zhang Wei took out his Universe Bag and put the Seven-Star Treasure Sword inside.

This Universe Bag was something he had had since he was small; even Uncle Feng didn't have one.

Zhang Wei immediately checked his gear and then asked Uncle Feng, "Uncle, give me a spiritual talisman to save my life."

Uncle Feng glanced at Zhang Wei, then pulled a purple talisman from his bosom and said, "This is your Grand Martial Uncle's Five-Thunder Talisman, don't use it recklessly."

Zhang Wei immediately accepted the Five-Thunder Talisman and smiled, "I know, don't worry."

Afterwards, under the urging of the police station, Zhang Wei immediately took a boat to Siu Tung Wan.

The Siu Tung Wan police station only had a few people: Sergeant Shi Chun, his subordinates Chen Longshi and Li Jingwen, and another elderly woman in charge of cleaning named Ah Hua.

This day, Shi Chun received a call from headquarters, and the person on the other end said, "Is this the Siu Tung Wan police station?"

Shi Chun immediately said, "That's right, I am Sergeant Shi Chun."

"Sergeant Shi, Headquarters has sent a Sergeant named Zhang Wei to be responsible for investigating the situation in Sanjia Village."

Shi Chun frowned and said, "Sir, I feel that I can handle the situation in Sanjia Township all by myself."

The person on the other end of the phone said impatiently, "Sergeant Shi, this is an order!"

After saying that, they hung up the phone.

Shi Chun put down the phone and said to Chen Longshi, who was standing to the side, "Chen Longshi, Headquarters has sent an officer with the rank of Sergeant. Go to the pier in a moment to pick them up."

Chen Longshi immediately saluted and said, "Yes, sir!"

Zhang Wei arrived at Xiaodong Bay by boat; this place was sparsely populated, and apart from the small island, there was only the boundless sea.

According to the files, the destination this time was Sanjia Township; there were no factories or companies in the township, yet the people here were not short of money.

According to the report from Xiaodong Bay Police Station Sergeant Shi Chun, he suspected that the people here were selling drugs.

Of course, the secret intelligence was that an ancient corpse might exist on the island of Xiaodong Bay.

Zhang Wei stepped onto the pier and saw a foolish-looking young man not far away; he checked the photo, and it was the constable from Xiaodong Bay, Chen Longshi.

He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I am Zhang Wei, sent from Headquarters."

Chen Longshi immediately saluted and said, "Greetings, sir! I am Constable Chen Longshi of the Xiaodong Bay Police Station!"

Zhang Wei nodded slightly; he felt that Chen Longshi was like a student who had not yet seen much of the world.

He nodded and said, "Let's go, let's return to the Xiaodong Bay Police Station first."

Very quickly, they arrived at the Xiaodong Bay Police Station. The first time Shi Chun saw Zhang Wei, he muttered to himself, "Damn, he looks like a pretty boy; is he reliable?"

Zhang Wei saw Shi Chun, who looked like a sleazy middle-aged man, stepped forward, and said, "I am Zhang Wei."

Shi Chun hurriedly saluted and said, "Officer Zhang, I am the Sergeant here, Shi Chun. Since you just arrived, you might not be very familiar with this place; it just so happens I can introduce you to the intelligence here."

Zhang Wei raised his hand and said, "No need. Headquarters has already provided the intelligence, and as for what you know, I am already aware of it."

"However, we police officers never rely on speculation to handle cases, but rather on evidence."

"The financial problems in Sanjia Township are indeed significant, but we have no evidence to prove that they are selling drugs."

"I came this time to conduct an in-depth investigation. Therefore, for the time being, let's act as if we don't know each other; I will enter Sanjia Township as a tourist to conduct the investigation."

"You and I will work one in the open and one in the shadows, understand?"

"Understood, sir!" Shi Chun hurriedly replied.

He had not expected that the pretty boy in front of him would speak so logically; it was truly surprising.

After Zhang Wei finished speaking with Shi Chun, he immediately left the police station and then arrived at Sanjia Township.

Just as Zhang Wei arrived near Sanjia Township, he saw a troupe driving over.

He hurriedly waved his hand, and the driver stopped and asked, "What's the matter, brother?"

Zhang Wei immediately took out a cigarette, handed it over, and smiled, "Brother, give me a lift; I'm also going to Sanjia Township."

The driver took the cigarette and smiled, "Get in."

Within a few minutes, the vehicle arrived at Sanjia Township, and the people from the Dafengnian Troupe immediately got out to move their things.

Zhang Wei saw a young girl having some trouble moving things, so he hurriedly walked over and asked, "Do you need any help?"

Chen Qiu looked up, and the handsome face before her made her blush instantly, her hands even going a bit weak.

"Ah!"

Chen Qiu wasn't paying attention, and the items in her hands were about to fall; Zhang Wei immediately acted and lifted the items with one hand.

Chen Qiu was very surprised in her heart and secretly thought: This handsome guy has such great strength.

Zhang Wei said softly, "Miss, are you alright?"

Chen Qiu was startled back to her senses, immediately put away her infatuated expression, and hurriedly said, "I'm fine, thank you for just now; my name is Chen Qiu."

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "My name is Zhang Wei; let me help you move your things."

Chen Qiu's scream just now had attracted the attention of the troupe, and Jiu Jie hurriedly crowded over to Chen Qiu's side and said, "What's the situation? You just got off the bus and you've already seduced a handsome guy?"

Chen Qiu smoothed the hair by her ear and smiled, "Who told me I have such great charm?"

Jiu Jie immediately laughed, "If you had such great charm, why aren't you the lead actress?"

Chen Qiu stopped smiling as soon as she heard this.

While they were talking, the troupe's lead actress, A A Mei, had already walked to Zhang Wei's side, and she said softly, "I don't seem to have seen you in the troupe before?"

Zhang Wei smiled, "I'm just passing through; I just hitched a ride with you all, and since you were moving things, I came over to help."

A A Mei beamed and said, "Is that so? I see you have a lot of strength, but you look quite thin."

Zhang Wei didn't know what to make of it, so he immediately raised his arm and said, "I exercise often; look at my muscles."

A A Mei was very pleasantly surprised and said, "Oh my, that's really impressive; you clearly look so thin."

As she spoke, she reached out directly to touch Zhang Wei's muscles and said, "Then you must definitely have abdominal muscles on your body too."

Zhang Wei smiled, "They're alright."

Jiu Jie, who was to the side, couldn't stand it and immediately walked up, saying sarcastically, "A A Mei, I just saw your husband looking for you."

A A Mei glared at Jiu Jie and hurriedly walked away.

Zhang Wei could only smile; after helping move the things, he left immediately.

Afterwards, Zhang Wei entered the township; the buildings here were still in the ancient Jiangnan style, looking very elegant.

He was walking down the street when he happened to meet an old man; this old man looked very respectable, and he smiled at Zhang Wei and asked, "Young man, how come I haven't seen you before?"

Zhang Wei hurriedly said, "Old sir, I'm just traveling around, and I happened to see that the architecture here looks very artistic, so I came over to take a look."

Li Biao smiled and said, "Young man, lying is not right."

Seeing that the other party didn't believe him, Zhang Wei had no choice but to say, "My name is Zhang Wei; I am a police officer and also a disciple of Maoshan."

Li Biao immediately straightened his face and said, "What are you trying to say?"

Zhang Wei chuckled and said, "Your place here is filled with resentment, and I see that your forehead is dark; you will face a calamity in the near future."

"That theater troupe was hired by you to perform and appease the resentment, right?"

Li Biao was secretly alarmed; he had originally thought this young man was bluffing him, but he did not expect him to have some actual ability.

Yet he still stubbornly refused to admit it, saying, "I don't understand what you are talking about. You are a police officer; you should believe in science."

Seeing that he would not shed tears until he saw the coffin, Zhang Wei immediately took out a Eight Trigrams Mirror and cast a spell right in front of Li Biao.

Li Biao watched as the Eight Trigrams Mirror before him emitted a golden light, his eyes widening.

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Are you sure you won't talk?"

Li Biao hurriedly said, "I didn't realize a master was here; I truly had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. Daoist, I must ask you to help us."

Zhang Wei said, "What exactly happened here?"

Li Biao hurriedly said, "Many years ago, probably back in the Qing Dynasty, a ship sank here."

"Later, the vengeful spirits from that ship caused trouble, so we hired a Daoist to perform a ritual and suppress those evil ghosts."

"But that Daoist said his seal wouldn't last many years, probably just until these years, so we hired a master to perform a ritual."

"That Daoist then suggested we hire a theater troupe to perform a play."

Zhang Wei took up the conversation: "Flooding Golden Mountain, right?"

Li Biao hurriedly nodded and said, "Correct, that is the one."

Zhang Wei nodded slightly and said, "Then let's first see what effect it has. If it has no effect, I will take action when the time comes."

Li Biao hurriedly thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Daoist. We will definitely reward you handsomely then."

Zhang Wei waved his hand and said, "I am a police officer; protecting you is my duty."
