Chapter 1895: Living with Mr. Ghost: Miscellaneous Affairs 11

After waking up, Xia Tan still hadn't deleted the master's good friend.

Because the case was transferred to the Strange Investigation Department, the news of Jiang Wen's fatal accident could no longer be followed up, and Xia Tan could only suggest writing a news page with the existing clues, which was already enough.

But what he got in return was a head-to-toe scolding from the boss.

Thin Ice News Agency office.

"The previous leader even strongly recommended you to me, but you can't even get this piece of news! What do you mean 'the police say, the police say'—can't you yourselves go look for clues?"

"No matter what methods you use, I only want to see the result, and the result now is that you didn't get the news!"

"You can't even do this, what good are you? Are you all a bunch of useless wastes who take money but don't do work?!"

The scolding was so loud it couldn't be blocked by the Main Gate; when Xia Tan walked out, he attracted many gazes, his expression unchanged, and he winked at Fatty Brother and the others to indicate he was fine.

Five minutes later, the stairwell.

Xia Tan sat on the stairs holding a bitter coffee, feeling that his life was even more bitter than the coffee, and for the first time the thought of quitting arose.

But it wasn't because of today's scolding.

When Xia Tan had just graduated, he was appreciated by the boss at the time, and doing news gave him extra motivation, but after a leader left earlier this year, the newly parachuted boss is a complete outsider who only knows how to make sensational news for hype.

This completely goes against the original intention of factual news.

Xia Tan raised the back of his hand to wipe his Tears, took a deep breath, and continued organizing the materials in his hand.

The phone's Bell Signal rang, another unknown number.

"I just said we should catch a ghost to scare your boss."

Xia Tan blinked his wet eyelashes, "You're watching me."

Jin Chen: "...... No."

"Oh."

"I don't believe it."

Jin Chen completely broke the house's confinement, holding an umbrella and floating in midair on the roof, seeking the place to go, not forgetting to say to the head in his hand.

"It's fine, your leader's luck is bad; soon he'll be taught a lesson by a ghost."

Xia Tan lowered his head, hearing the gentle, lax voice on the other end of the phone, feeling a strange warmth of being comforted, and asked again: "Jin Chen, are you comforting me?"

Jin Chen hummed, "Doesn't it sound like that?"

"Not really... you might lack the talent for comforting humans." Xia Tan arched his brows.

"Alright."

Jin Chen gave no clear answer, his peach-blossom eyes slightly narrowed, and he found that drifting wisp of a ghost.

"I have something to do out there; I'll come back later."

Xia Tan hummed doubtfully, then after a while obediently replied, not daring to ask what Jin Chen wanted to do, and fearing loss of life, he hesitated and asked: "You... won't kill anyone, right?"

Jin Chen: "Rest assured, I won't kill anyone."

The phone hung up, and the phone on Jin Chen's fingertip suddenly vanished, replaced by a black short blade symbolizing an ominous aura, like the grim reaper's scythe.

"Found you."

Jin Chen's voice, as his figure disappeared, was blown away by the wind, the trailing tone filled with killing intent.

On the other side of the city, a long-overdue overcast sky stirred up a strong wind, the air filled with dampness, dark clouds gradually gathering, and car lights and traffic lights became blurry.

A heavy rain was about to fall.

In an empty lot of a certain cemetery, a black empty plastic bag was blown up by the wind and then fell again, desolate and silent; hardly anyone ever comes here.

The spot where Jiang Wen was burned by ghostly aura had a hole torn in it, making the already ugly ghost look even more disheveled.

At this moment he curled up on the ground, almost fearfully looking upward.

A tall man holding a black umbrella appeared, standing straight, his body like a dark bamboo, proud and unforgettable at a glance.

His downcast indifferent eyes glowed with thick yin energy, his lip color pale, his voice devoid of warmth.

"You've become a ghost, why don't you come seek revenge on me?"

Jiang Wen: "......"

"How can I not know the difference between ghosts and ghosts?!"

"But..."

Jiang Wen looked at Jin Chen with scrutiny and panic, "You... have you recovered your memory?"

Jin Chen raised his sword-brows slightly, "How do you know I lost my memory?"

Jin Chen certainly had not recovered his memory.

But it didn't affect him; upon seeing this person... this ghost, he couldn't restrain his killing intent.

Moreover, after hearing Xia Tan complain yesterday about bumping into a ghost, a little thought reveals that Xia Tan is the ill-fated one the hanged ghost mentioned in the group.

"The ghost that bullied his wife certainly deserves to die."

"It's better to resolve it sooner."

"You've already killed me once!"

Jiang Wen obviously only wanted to avoid discussing the cause of Jin Chen's amnesia, kept retreating, his eyes fearful yet unable to suppress his resentment.

"It's not just me who harmed you... I helped you kill Jin Bing, isn't that enough? If you truly hate... you should hate the Feng Shui master of the Jin Family!"

It seems this thing knows a lot about his past affairs.

Jin Chen originally wanted to kill him outright, but now he has a somewhat different idea.

He raised his hand, his distinct knuckles' cold white fingertips contracting, Jiang Wen's whole body swiftly wrapped in black mist, unable to move an inch.

"Tell me, who am I?"

Jiang Wen, terrified, didn't know what to think, then jerked his stiff muscles into a loud laugh, "You won't know! You'll never remember again... even if I'm wiped out to ashes, I won't tell you!"

Jin Chen showed no panic at all, and besides, he gave the stubborn Jiang Wen a beating, finally stuffing him elegantly into a black bottle.

Product of the system mall, specifically for dealing with ghost objects, 50 points, fair to young and old.

Jin Chen glanced at the empty cemetery, hesitated for two seconds, finally realized there definitely wasn't his own tombstone here, then turned and went home.

We can't let the little bee wait anxiously!

Little did he know that Xia Tan wasn't even on the way home.

——

After hanging up the phone in the stairwell, Xia Tan received comfort from his fellow group photographer Shao Dong, as well as Lin Qian, who brought cube Candy to put in the coffee.

The three of them sat together in the stairwell for a while, when Lin Qian suddenly suggested going out for drinks tonight to get drunk and dispel a thousand worries.

Xia Tan subconsciously wanted to refuse, but since he and Jin Chen had agreed to live in harmony, he had kept the habit of coming home on time.

But then he thought again that Jin Chen wasn't home today.

Unable to resist Lin Qian and Shao Dong's persuasion, Xia Tan eventually still got into the car Shao Dong was driving to the bar.

Bar.

The noisy music kept assaulting their eardrums, but the private room was still relatively quiet, and the three of them drank and sang somewhat happily, loudly cursing the leadership as idiots.

Xia Tan's stifled mood was released, and the dim lighting in the private room couldn't hide his bright smile, making it hard to look away.

Lin Qian glanced at Shao Dong's somewhat infatuated gaze, couldn't help chuckle, gave him a cheering gesture, then got up and told Xia Tan he was going to the restroom.

"Okay! Xiao Lin, be careful."

Xia Tan hadn't forgotten how mixed the crowd was in the bar.

After a few more minutes, the song in the private room suddenly turned into a low, murmuring love song, and the lighting became ambiguous.

"Xia Xia."

Xia Tan stared blankly behind him, only to see Shao Dong gradually approaching, his expression even somewhat excited.

"I... I have something I want to say to you."

Shao Dong was infatuated, staring at the handsome youth before him; the words he had been brewing in his heart for a long time could finally be spoken.

"I like you! I want to be with you."
