Chapter 456: This Ghost is Too Lifelike!

~8 min read 1,422 words

Wu Ji has been drinking himself into a stupor these past few days; only the numbness of alcohol allows him to fall asleep.

Otherwise, whenever he thinks of Sun Gang's dead-faced expression, he cannot sleep for the entire night.

This night, Wu Ji drank a bottle of white liquor just like usual, then collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

In his dream, Sun Gang did not let him off.

"Wu Ji, you despicable bastard, I treated you like a brother, yet you killed me for thirty thousand yuan. Even as a ghost, I won't let you go." Sun Gang gritted his teeth as he said this, lunged at Wu Ji, and grabbed his throat.

Wu Ji struggled to pry Sun Gang's fingers away and explained, "That's because you were too greedy. You were already given money, yet you still weren't satisfied."

Blood seeped from Sun Gang's eyes, "Hmph, Feng Lin gave me a hundred thousand in kickbacks, but only thirty thousand reached my hands; you swallowed the other seventy thousand."

Wu Ji felt like he couldn't breathe, "I introduced the job to you, so of course I have to take a certain fee. It was just to threaten someone; how could that money be so easy to earn if you got a hundred thousand?"

Sun Gang was burning with rage, "You bloodsucker, because of this, I became a stray dog, a rat in a gutter, unable to see the light of day, forced to hide everywhere—and you? Not only did you use me to make money, you also killed me."

Wu Ji struggled desperately, grabbed Sun Gang by the collar, and somehow, he didn't know how, a knife appeared in his hand, which he swung toward Sun Gang's neck.

Sun Gang clutched his own neck, looked at Wu Ji in disbelief, and slowly dissolved into a pool of blood.

Wu Ji laughed maniacally, "Haha, you trash, daring to run wild in my dream? If I want you to die, you have to die. You won't let me go as a ghost? Damn it, I'm not afraid of you! Even if you become a ghost, I'll grind your bones to dust and scatter the ashes, so you'll never be reincarnated."

"Honey, honey, what's wrong? Are you having a nightmare again?" His girlfriend gently shook Wu Ji awake.

Wu Ji opened his eyes and found himself drenched in sweat with his girlfriend lying beside him; only then did he confirm he was not in a dream.

"Did I have another nightmare? I didn't say anything, did I scare you?" For so many years, Wu Ji had never married, and even when he dated, it never lasted more than three months.

Because he knew he had done many evil deeds and was terrified that he might accidentally talk in his sleep at night and reveal those secrets.

"Your laughter was too chilling. It sounded like you were cursing someone, calling them trash."

Wu Ji gently patted his girlfriend's shoulder and apologized, "I'm sorry, I dreamed I was arguing with someone. Sigh, I've been running into some very troublesome clients these past few days."

The girlfriend smiled and drew circles on his chest with her finger, "That just means you aren't tired enough. If you were truly exhausted, how would you have the energy to dream?"

Wu Ji pulled his girlfriend's arm, "You little vixen, I think you're asking for a spanking."

The girlfriend rummaged under the quilt, "You, stop acting tough."

Wu Ji seemed to want to drive away the influence of the nightmare and said with a smile, "Cheer me up, there's a prize!"

The girlfriend immediately perked up, "What prize?"

Wu Ji laughed heartily, got up, and took a stack of red bills from the cabinet drawer, "Here, if that's not enough, there's more!"

The girlfriend pulled back the pale yellow thin quilt and knelt on the bed.

Wu Ji looked at the woman's graceful curves and thought to himself, "Having money is great; having a beauty by my side every day, my life hasn't been a waste."

Wu Ji was just about to close his eyes and enjoy himself.

Suddenly, the lights in the room went out.

A gust of cold wind struck his back.

Immediately after, the doorknob clicked and turned, and the door was slowly pushed open.

A familiar and ferocious face slowly magnified in Wu Ji's eyes.

Holy crap, it's Sun Gang?!

Wu Ji shuddered in terror.

His whole body went limp.

His girlfriend looked at Wu Ji with resentment—all that effort was for nothing!

Wu Ji looked in disbelief at the face that had appeared from the darkness.

"Sun Gang, why won't you just stay dead!"

"Am I still dreaming?"

Wu Ji slapped his own face hard and felt a stinging pain.

This dream is way too realistic!

This ghost is way too lifelike!

At this moment, the girlfriend also saw someone walk in; she grabbed Wu Ji's arm nervously and whispered, "Honey, did someone break into our house?"

Wu Ji had done many evil things in his life; even if a dog passed by on the road, if he was in a bad mood, he might go up and slap it twice.

But at this moment, he was truly scared senseless.

This is no human; it is clearly a ghost!

He remembered very clearly that he had fed Sun Gang a whole bottle of sleeping pills, and after burying him in a pit, he had even placed two large stones on top.

He could be certain that Sun Gang was definitely dead.

"You! You! You! Don't come over here!"

At this time, Sun Gang sneered sinisterly, "Wu Ji, you didn't expect me to come looking for you, did you?"

Wu Ji was trembling all over, "Sun Gang, it was my boss who made me kill you. I admit, I made a mistake regarding the money. How about this, tomorrow I'll burn cars, houses, and women for you, so you can become a billionaire in the other world and enjoy wealth and glory."

Sun Gang sneered, "Wu Ji, I came back to find you today, on one hand for revenge, and on the other, I want to know how many evil deeds you've done under Feng Lin's instigation."

At this moment, Wu Ji had been scared out of his wits.

"I'll tell you everything. Relying on the fact that he is Feng Kun's son, Feng Lin hasn't done fewer wicked things over these years. His main source of income now is landscaping projects. A tree, including transport costs, is only a few thousand, but he quotes a hundred thousand. He knows that the upcoming landscaping project in Suiyuan will be a huge market, so he is sparing no cost to obstruct others from entering this project."

"Every debt has a debtor. I'm just a dog by his side; if you want revenge, go find him!"

Sun Gang continued, "You've been with him for so many years, you must have gathered quite a bit of dirt on him, right?"

Wu Ji said in a low voice, "That's right, every dirty and exhausting job was done by me for him, and he would check the accounts with me, so I have records."

Sun Gang said in a low voice, "Where are the records?"

At this point, Wu Ji came to his senses and looked at Sun Gang in confusion, "What do you want the records for?"

Tang Ye, Wan Ming, and Er Zi were currently hiding in the living room.

Hearing Wu Ji say this, they knew it could no longer be hidden.

"Er Zi, turn on the lights!" Er Zi pushed the knife switch up.

The lights in the room turned on.

Wu Ji discovered in shock that Sun Gang had a shadow.

At this moment, several men walked in from outside.

He quickly recognized Tang Ye.

"You, you are doing this..."

"Wu Ji, didn't expect it, did you? I didn't die! After you left, the Police dug me out."

"Sun Gang, you actually didn't die!" Wu Ji was filled with regret, "If I had known, I would have slit your throat with one knife back then!"

Er Zi had a serious expression as he revealed an arrest warrant.

"Wu Ji, you are suspected of attempted murder, and we are now arresting you! Furthermore, you just admitted that all your actions were directed by others. The sentencing for a principal offender and an accomplice is different; I hope you confess honestly and strive for leniency."
