Gu Zhi asked Ming Shu to wait for him in his office.

Gu Zhi’s office was very simple. Most of it was filled with office supplies. He didn’t have a lot of personal belongings.

Ming Shu found a place to sit down. She looked through the snacks that Gu Zhi got for her.

The selection was not bad.

Alas!

The little demon keeps breaking the rules nowadays. What should I do?

I can’t be bought so easily by snacks next time.

“Chief Gu…”

The door of the office opened and a lady in a police uniform entered. She seemed to be in a rush so her face was red.

When she saw Ming Shu, she took a step back and looked at the name outside the door. She confirmed that she was at the right office.

“Who are you?”

Her eyes were filled with vigilance liked a lioness whose territory got invaded.

Before Ming Shu could speak, the lady continued, “Are you the girl who came in with Chief Gu?

She heard everyone in the office talking about it.

“Yes.”

There were no Hatred Points to gain from this lady so Ming Shu was too lazy to bother with her.

However, to the lady, she thought that Ming Shu was looking down on her.

“You are not suitable for Chief Gu,” the lady said. “Please leave him.”

She was the only female that could enter Gu Zhi’s office.

But, another unfamiliar woman was in his office now.

She was nervous.

Ming Shu raised her eyes slightly and looked at the lady. “You like Gu Zhi?”

The lady didn’t deny it. Everyone in the office knew that she liked him. There was no point in denying it.

Ming Shu asked her again, “Does he like you?”

The lady bit her lip.

“He doesn’t like you,” Ming Shu concluded. “Since that is the case, what right do you have to tell me to leave him?”

Ming Shu’s tone was gentle. There was no anger or unhappiness in her voice.

“Even if he doesn’t like me, you won’t have a chance, either,” The lady said, “You two are not compatible.”

Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. “So what?”

So what if they were not compatible. He belonged to her. He would only belong to her.

Also…

I didn’t even say that he’s not suitable for me. Why are you saying I am the one that is not suitable for him?!

“…” The lady didn’t know how to react to Ming Shu’s nonchalant attitude. “You… do you think that you are suitable for Chief Gu? His status…”

“What about my status?”

The lady turned around and saw Gu Zhi standing at the door.

“Chief… Chief Gu…”

“When did I give you permission to enter my office whenever you want?” Gu Zhi looked at her coldly.

“I…”

“Get out.”

The lady glanced at Ming Shu, who was calmly eating her snacks. She stomped her feet and ran out unwillingly.

Gu Zhi closed the door. “Don’t believe what she said. I have nothing going on with her.”

“Oh.”

Gu Zhi realized that Ming Shu didn’t take it to heart at all. He heaved a sigh of relief. However, he felt unhappy at the same time.

Why can’t she care more about me?

She should be jealous!

She only knows how to eat snacks.

Forget it.

She doesn’t even remember me.

“This is the file. Do you want to take a look at it first?” Gu Zhi placed the file in front of Ming Shu. “I will go to a meeting now.”

“Okay.” Ming Shu nodded in acknowledgment.

Gu Zhi paused for a few seconds before turning to leave the office. He purposely locked the office door when he went out.

…

Half a month ago, the mayor’s son suddenly died. He was stabbed in the heart by a dagger.

The culprit had not been found. However, the mayor’s wife died recently too.

She was hanged on the chandelier in their house.

This case involved government officials so the province bureau ordered them to find the murderer as quickly as possible.

If the murderer was looking for revenge, the mayor would be in danger.

“Wealthy and powerful people have a lot of problems.”

Ming Shu threw down the file in her hand.

At this moment, a flash of light shot in through the window. Little White’s figure started appearing in front of her.

Ming Shu looked at her.

Little White smiled gently. “Thank you. I thought that I would not have the chance to let him know that I love him so much before…”

“Since you like him, why didn’t you confess to him when you were still alive?”

Little White looked depressed. “I was scared. I was scared of rejection. I was scared that we couldn’t even be friends anymore. But now, I feel remorse…”

Little White smiled bitterly. She bowed sincerely at Ming Shu. “Thank you.”

Little White’s figure started fading away.

In the end, a string of light entered her forehead.

What is this?

Ming Shu knew that this energy was not harmful to her but she didn’t know what its use was.

Does it have something to do with the art of managing ghosts?

I don’t know. Let’s eat some snacks to replenish my brain juice.

…

In the Yao family…

Yao Ying went back home with an injured body. She was in extreme pain but when she went for a checkup, the doctor told her that there was nothing wrong with her.

How could that be possible?

She was in so much pain she wanted to die.

“Father…” Yao Ying opened the door of the study weakly.

Father Yao was making a call so he signaled to Yao Ying to wait a while.

“Yes, let’s do this first. Wait for my news before doing anything further.” Father Yao hung up the phone and looked at Yao Ying. “Why is your face so pale?”

“Father… only two ghosts are left.”

“What?”

Father Yao sprang up. He walked around the table and stood in front of Yao Ying. “What happened?”

Flames of anger burned in her eyes. “I had a fight with the lady from the Qian family.”

Father Yao’s expression hardened. “Didn’t I tell you to avoid any face to face interaction with her?”

Yao Ying replied, “She came to look for me.”

Father Yao frowned unconsciously. “Why did she look for you?”

Yao Ying didn’t dare to tell him about the troubles she created for Qian Sui. She lied, “I don’t know.”

Father Yao thought for a while. “You said that only two ghosts are left? She did it?’

Yao Ying nodded.

Father Yao said, “That is not possible… she hasn’t enlightened her spirit yet. How can she hunt for ghosts? She did it alone?”

Yao Ying nodded. “Father, why can’t we just directly… why do we still need her alive?”

Father Yao was in deep thought so he just replied to her with an indefinite answer. “She is still useful.”

Yao Ying probed. “What use does she have?”

Father Yao patted her shoulder and changed the topic. “Go and have a rest first. Your body will be hurt when your ghosts get killed. Recuperate first.”

Yao Ying felt agitated. “Father…”

Why was he not willing to tell her?

And Qian Sui…

Father Yao’s face turned dark. “Go and take a rest. Are you not listening to me?”

“…Yes.”

Yao Ying slowly left the study.

After Yao Ying left, Father Yao dialed a number. “The lady from the Qian family has enlightened her spirit. Get someone to follow her and find out who enlightened her spirit for her.”

A hoarse voice replied to him from the other end of the call, “Just kill the Qian girl and there will not be any descendants of the Qian family left. Why are you putting so much effort into her?”

Father Yao sneered. “What do you know? The art of managing ghosts which we have is not the complete version. That old man must have passed the complete version to his descendants.”

“What we have is enough. Why do you…”

“Do what I say.”

Father Yao hung up.

He looked coldly at the dark sky outside the window.

Enlightenment of the spirit was the first step in the art of managing ghosts.

After that, they could herd ghosts for their own uses.

The last stage was hunting for ghosts.

Killing a ghost was harder than making a ghost work under you.

The little girl from the Qian family could hunt ghosts now. She didn’t do anything strange in the past few days. How did she do it?
