Head-down (2)

d you. It's my fault, your housekeeper had reminded me.""I appreciate your honesty. If Miss Mu wants to pursue an ordinary career after graduation, come find me, and I'll save a good position for you...."Well, I'll figure something out." I grabbed a hair tie and pulled my hair back. "Come on, don't stay in my room. You rarely come out, spend more time with my brother."

As soon as Lin Yanqin and I went downstairs, my brother pulled her aside and said, "My father-in-law Chen and Officer Lu are still being held. Can you see if you can find out anything If your brother is too busy to help, we'll have to take drastic measures to get them back."

My brother is very worried about this, although he treats Old Mr. Chen like a servant every day, there's still a bit of affection after so many days together.

And Officer Lu is a friend of my brother's, who often gave us a lot of convenience in our daily lives. This time, encountering the Ghost Princess, we don't even know if he will be punished by his superiors.

"Brother, what drastic measures do you have in mind" I asked, frowning.

"What else can we do Bribe our way to a visit, and then have someone from the underworld help us stage a jailbreak."

"... Calm down." I shook my head wordlessly.

Lin Yanqin comforted him, "Don't worry, Big Brother didn't say he wouldn't help."

"What did you tell your brother" I pulled Lin Yanqin onto the sofa.

"...My brother asked me if Qi Ke Xin had done something to me that made me angry... I told him everything, but he didn't believe me because Qi Ke Xin didn't seem any different in front of us." Lin Yan Qin shrugged helplessly.

Actually, this is understandable. If someone suddenly told me: Hey, your father-in-law Chen and your eldest son are possessed by ghosts, they're not normal!

I would also think this person is crazy.

Wouldn't I know if the person I look at every day had something different about them

Lin Yanhuan was especially low-key at this time. He didn't want to cause any trouble and increase the exposure for the Lin family. The last time he hired someone to set up a barrier to seal the underworld's presence in the human world had already caused various rumors to spread within the circle.

Some say the Lin family is aiming to be the next Taimiao (Temple of Ancestors), wanting to control the power of the underworld; others say they desire immortality and increased lifespan, using it as leverage against the underworld to extend their lifespans.

"Qi Ke Xin has indeed been possessed, did she do something bad or is she mentally unhealthy Otherwise, she wouldn't attract a ghost princess like that old spirit..." I frowned and asked Lin Yan Qin.

Lin Yanqin tilted her head and thought for a moment before replying, "Qi Keqin has always been someone who never gives up until she gets what she wants. There have been many women pursuing my older brother, and she, because she grew up with us, was the boldest one. My older brother doesn't like women with that kind of personality."

"What kind of woman does your brother like I didn't notice he had any preference for women, just that he seems interested in my little Qiao." My brother couldn't help but ask.

Lin Yanqin nodded. "Xiao Qiao is very special, just like you. To us, she seems like someone from a completely different world... And besides, Xiao Qiao is kind and beautiful too, hehe. My brother likes gentle girls, just like Xiao Qiao."

My brother stroked his chin: “Well, even hundred-refined steel fears the soft touch of a finger. Look at my brother-in-law, he pampers Qiao every day, making her eyes all watery… Maybe strong men prefer more gentle women”

"But Xiao Qiao has a boyfriend, so my brother only likes her." Lin Yanqin shrugged slightly with a hint of regret.

I feel that Lin Yanhuan's liking is limited. Such an arrogant, rational, and calm man shouldn't go crazy for anything.

"What are we going to do now Are we just going to sit here and wait" my brother asked.

"Well, I'll go back and ask him again. He should be able to figure something out. Don't worry." Lin Yanqin stood up, bid us farewell, and hurried into the car.

Not long after, Old Chen's wife called the shop to ask what was going on.

I gave her a brief explanation, and she shouted on the phone: "I told you that deadbeat wouldn't come home! It turns out he was arrested! Waaaaaaaaah... I thought he ran off with that woman! My daughter is still here with me! I've been taking care of him and the child, changing diapers and feeding him. I've endured everything and been so patient, if he ran off with someone else, I'd just drown myself with my child!"

I quickly comforted her, saying that Old Chen was only being questioned and hadn't done anything wrong. I assured her three times that he would be home in two days, so she could rest assured and take good care of the children.

After hanging up the phone, I was still worried. I asked Da Bao to send her ten thousand yuan, saying it was a household allowance to prevent her from doing foolish things because of financial stress.

Lin Yanhuan also called me, saying that Old Chen had been investigated by the police and no suspicious points were found, so he could be released. But Officer Lu was different; as someone within the system, he was still being isolated and questioned.

"What are you talking about He's just doing his job! Why isolate him He hasn't done anything wrong!" I shouted into the phone angrily.

"Calm down, Xiao Qiao."

"Then you figure out a way to get him free quickly! Officer Lu is more innocent, he just took a picture of the female ghost's face, and she retaliated against him like this…" I gritted my teeth in anger.

Lin Yanhuan pondered for a moment: “If it’s convenient, could you bring the footage out so I can take a look when I come over to your place”

"Good! You should have seen it already!"

Three of Lin Yanhuan's Maybachs were parked by the sidewalk in front of his house. The bodyguard ushered me into one of the cars and to the back seat. Lin Yanhuan was already inside waiting for me.

I played the video on my phone for him. He frowned and watched it repeatedly many times before rubbing his brow and saying, “This is all the evidence you have”

"Then what do you want to do! She'd appear in such a dark place, with two magic-wielding old men by her side, blood dripping from her chin... Is this still the Qi Ke Xin you remember" I frowned, unable to help but push Lin Yanhuan's shoulder, urging him to look at me.

"I'm not lying! Lin Yanhuan! She's really not Qi Kexin! The original Qi Kexin did something, she actually provoked this female ghost!"

Lin Yanhuan frowned deeply and said, "… I know."

"What"

"I know what she did. Qi Ke Xin took a temporary leave from the housekeepers this time, and I bribed one of them to find out that she actually—"

"What on earth"

Lin Yanhuan sighed deeply: "She's actually taking something banned overseas... They called it a weight loss miracle drug, but it has hallucinogenic ingredients."

"And, I heard she went to Malaysia recently to find a local sorcerer, wanting to learn about black magic... Therefore, I've been trying to avoid her."

"A hex She couldn't possibly... be trying to put a curse on you!"ing wildly.What is the cycle of cause and effectI wonder if it was arranged on purpose, or if the news just came too quickly.The two people who appeared behind the door, I've seen them before...I've n...
