Wang Jinrong’s face instantly swelled up, and he staggered backward, falling to the ground with a thud.

Because Huang Xiaolong moved so fast, the spectators nearby didn’t see clearly what happened. All they saw was Wang Jinrong falling to the ground with a face full of blood.

“Young Master Wang! Are you alright?” The BMW drivers rushed to help him up, all hands on deck.

“This farmer hit me with a rock! DAMN IT! Farmer! You remember this, you dare to hit Wang Jinrong! Are you courting death! I swear! I want you dead! I’m going to kill you!” Wang Jinrong cursed while cleaning the blood off his face with a tissue handed to him by one of the drivers. He glared at the retreating figures of Huang Xiaolong and Chu Tingting, rage burning in his heart, completely consumed by his fury.

Huh… He actually thought that Huang Xiaolong hit him with a stone!

Huang Xiaolong opened the car door for Chu Tingting and let her sit in the passenger seat.

He started the car.

“What was Wang Jinrong yelling about? He tripped himself and blamed you for it?” Chu Tingting asked, looking annoyed.

She didn’t see Wang Jinrong’s bloody face, so she didn’t notice Huang Xiaolong’s discreet actions.

“Ha, ha, ha indeed, he’s too narrow-minded.” Huang Xiaolong chuckled while driving.

“By the way, Little Long,” Chu Tingting started, looking worried. “Now that you’ve angered Wang Jinrong… It’s my fault… What if he comes after you? His dad is the deputy headmaster of our school.”

“Ha, ha, ha, ha~ Miss Teacher, don’t worry about that. I’m not afraid of him. Actually, I’ve pissed off people much more important than him, and they all ended up bowing down to me,” Huang Xiaolong stated honestly.

“Pfft Little Long, you’re really funny.” Chu Tingting couldn’t help but laugh.

“Miss Teacher, it doesn’t matter if you believe me or not. Anyway, what troubles have you been facing? I’m referring to the ghostly kind,” Huang Xiaolong returned to the main topic at hand.

“Ah…” Chu Tingting’s body shuddered, and a look of fear crept onto her delicate face.

“Miss Teacher, don’t be afraid, just tell me,” Huang Xiaolong encouraged. “Rest assured, Miss Teacher, leave everything to me.”

“Alright, I believe you!” Chu Tingting took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to start her story.

“Actually…actually it’s nothing, not a complicated issue,” Chu Tingting hesitated. “It’s just that at night, I always hear a little girl’s voice whispering in my ear.”

“Oh? What does she say?” Huang Xiaolong asked nonchalantly.

“She says —— ‘It hurts, it hurts so much’…”

Chu Tingting frowned as she relayed the girl’s words, “It’s just these simple words, but…but they’re so scary…Little Long, it’s really strange, I feel like there’s another person in the room with me, a little girl… I’ve searched every corner of the room, but I can’t find her. It feels so odd, like a naughty child playing hide-and-seek with me.”

Huang Xiaolong continued to drive, listening to Chu Tingting quietly without interrupting her.

“Later, I installed surveillance cameras in the bedroom and living room…” Chu Tingting continued with a shudder. “Yet, I haven’t noticed anything unusual. Every night, I can hear the little girl’s voice saying ‘It hurts, it hurts so much…’”

“Oh… Miss Teacher, I see.” Huang Xiaolong nodded, though a little dismissive in his mind.

‘Damn, I bet it’s just a petty ghost. Taking care of such entities requires no skill at all… what a disappointment!’

Huang Xiaolong’s hobby is ghost hunting; he was hoping for a more challenging task. Dealing with a mere ghost was completely uninspiring.

“Little Long, what exactly is going on?” After finishing her explanation, Chu Tingting asked Huang Xiaolong, her eyes pleading for help.

Her eyes were soft and appealing, full of charm.

“Miss Teacher, it’s a minor problem, rest assured.” Huang Xiaolong gave Chu Tingting a reassuring smile, which greatly eased her worries.

‘Wow… When I’m with Little Long, I… I feel so safe… My confidence is even growing… Chu Tingting! Stop getting carried away! He’s just a student! He’s still a child! As a teacher, I shouldn’t have such thoughts!’

Sometimes, the more you try not to think about something, the more you end up overthinking.

Before she knew it, her mind started drifting back to the scene in her office, when the transparent charm allowed her to see some explicit images.

That was the first time she’d seen everything on an adult male…

Suddenly, Chu Tingting’s cheeks flushed a bright red!

“Ah? Miss Teacher, why is your face red?” Huang Xiaolong asked, surprised.

“Ahem, it’s nothing. Just…just a little hot. Yes, the weather is too hot.” Chu Tingting replied, looking embarrassed.

“Oh… Yes, the weather is indeed a bit hot.” Huang Xiaolong nodded. “May I ask, Miss Teacher, why haven’t you moved out if you’re so scared? But… if you’re really haunted by a ghost, moving won’t help much.”

“I’ve paid half a year’s rent…” Chu Tingting grumbled. “I’m poor!”

…

Soon, Huang Xiaolong drove the car into the residential complex where Chu Tingting rented her apartment.

They parked the car.

They walked together inside the residential complex.

This new complex had been built last year.

Under the glow of the setting sun, the whole area exuded tranquility, making it an ideal residential area.

As he walked, Huang Xiaolong casually surveyed the surroundings.

Generally speaking, the fengshui of this complex seemed fine.

However!

In some places, a faint trace of cold Yin energy lingered.

This was especially true near the playground equipment where children played— swings, rocking horses, seesaws… The nearby plants were lifeless, devoid of new buds or flowers, giving off a desolate autumn-like atmosphere which starkly contrasted with the rest of the complex.

“Little Long, is…is there something wrong with this complex?” Chu Tingting asked apprehensively.

“OhMiss Teacher, the complex is great,” Huang Xiaolong said cheerily, deciding not to reveal the truth.

“Great?” Chu Tingting muttered, “The rent is damn high.”

Inside the complex, there were fast food restaurants and noodle shops, Chu Tingting took Huang Xiaolong to one of the fast food restaurants for dinner.

When they left the restaurant, it was already getting dark.

“Little Long, now I’ll take you to my house.” Chu Tingting was also feeling a bit nervous.

“Alright.” Huang Xiaolong nodded.
