Chapter 1129 Ghost Substitute, Ghost Visitor

　　What Chi Shuyan didn't say was that Xia Lanying was beautiful and had good looks. Her luck with men was indeed good, and most of them were sincere toward her. She would also be able to achieve all sorts of goals in the future. She originally had a pretty good life, but when she opened her mouth, there was a hint of meanness between her eyebrows. Her mouth was unforgiving and she could easily offend people. There would be a calamity in a few days, but her life wouldn't be in danger – at most, she would be hospitalized for a few months.

As for the future, Xia Lanying could rely on tricks to marry into a slightly wealthy family. She wouldn't lack money, but because she didn't walk the right path and her mouth was harsh, she would become a burden to her husband's family. She also didn't get along with her husband, and he even had violent tendencies.

She would get a divorce. After that, she would still encounter a few men who were sincere toward her. It was just that she would still be blinded by wealth and not cherish them. Later, she would court death and tear up all the good cards she had. Her ending would be tragic and her life would be bleak. She would never have children.

Zhen Yu was fine, but Yang Lan spent a listless afternoon in class. Chi Shuyan still had to go to the hospital in the evening. Seeing Yang Lan's mulish appearance, Chi Shuyan could only call her to a corner and tell her not to think too much.

Yang Lan suppressed her anger and said, "I'm just wondering what the difference is between me and that b*tch, Xia Lanying?"

Of course, she wasn't angry at Shuyan, but felt that life was really unfair. What she wanted, Xia Lanying could easily get. More importantly, Xia Lanying's character was much worse than Yang Lan's. If it were someone else, Yang Lan wouldn't bother to be jealous.

But what kind of person was Xia Lanying? She was such a scumbag, yet there were many men who would be sincere toward her. Thinking this, Yang Lan felt very stifled.

She also knew that she couldn't do anything about it. Seeing Shuyan hesitate to speak, she gritted her teeth and said, "Shuyan, I know what you want to tell me. I'll just feel stifled for a while. I'll be fine in a few days!"

Chi Shuyan had never liked to badmouth people behind their backs, even though Xia Lanying had provoked her before. Seeing Yang Lan like this now, however, she could only say, "Don't worry. Although her luck with men is good, and she can meet many who will be sincere toward her, as long as you listen to what I said in the past and cherish things and don't be fickle, your life will be better than hers."

Yang Lan's eyes lit up and she looked up at Shuyan. "Shuyan, are you serious?"

Chi Shuyan nodded and continued, "There's one more thing: If she doesn't change her habit of speaking badly, there'll be a calamity in a few days! You can tell her that – it's up to her whether to listen or not!"

Yang Lan was gloating in her heart at Shuyan's earlier words. Hearing Shuyan say to let Xia Lanying know, Yang Lan glared at her and said, "Shuyan, that woman just implied that you might be a thief. Don't be so nice. Some people are not worth it!"

Given Xia Lanying's character, Chi Shuyan didn't plan to have anything to do with her. Yang Lan also thought too highly of her. Since she had encountered Xia Lanying, who was about to fall victim to misfortune, Chi Shuyan as a Celestial Master had to say something, when she recalled how her master had educated her. Whether the other party believed her or not was up to her.

She was sure that this Xia person might not believe her. If misfortune really befell the other party, Chi Shuyan's conscience would be clear. Moreover, if she was really sincere and really planned to help Xia Lanying, she wouldn't have let Yang Lan be the one to pass on the message. In the end, Chi Shutan bore a grudge and wanted to see Xia Lanying suffer.

Seeing that Yang Lan treated her like a good person, Chi Shuyan's eyes flashed and she said a little guiltily, "Okay, I still have something on. I'll take my leave first!"

After exiting the school gate, Chi Shuyan remembered that she had to go to the hospital. Before she could send a message to Qi Zhenbai, Feng Yuanlin poked his head out of a car window not far away and waved. "Shuyan, here! Get in!"

Chi Shuyan nodded, opened the car door, and got into the passenger seat. She sent a message to Qi Zhenbai, then asked Brother Feng, "Brother Feng, have you been waiting here long?"

Feng Yuanlin shook his head as he drove. "No, I just arrived. Shuyan, we're already so familiar with each other. Are you sure you want to be so polite with me?"

Chi Shuyan smiled. "I understand, Brother Feng!"historical

When Feng Yuanlin saw Shuyan, he somehow thought of how she said she had forced herself on him. He wanted to say that she had good taste after getting drunk, and that she hadn't done anything to him, but he was afraid that Shuyan would be too embarrassed if he mentioned it. Fine, after the official business was resolved, he would have a good talk with Shuyan to prevent any misunderstandings between her and Zhenbai.

On the way, Chi Shuyan asked after Wei Panyang's condition in the afternoon.

Feng Yuanlin sighed and said, "That Wei kid was probably really scared last night. When he woke up in the afternoon, he only knew how to shout about ghosts. He was especially cowardly and didn't dare be alone. When he went to the washroom, he needed someone to go with him, and the door couldn't be closed. After that, I had Jiang Duo, Xiao Ningjin and the other boys come over to see him. Only then did he calm down a little. Father and Mother Wei also relaxed!"

As Feng Yuanlin spoke, he stopped at a red light. "Shuyan, what on earth do you think these boys provoked? What the hell is it?"

Thinking that Shuyan didn't have enough information and really didn't know, Feng Yuanlin said, "Forget it, after this.."

Before he could finish speaking, Chi Shuyan interrupted Feng Yuanlin and said, "Brother Feng, in fact, I have a guess that those boys did provoke something at Swan Lake. From Jiang Duo and Xiao Ningjin's descriptions, that thing is related to water and is most likely a water ghost. However, it's not an ordinary water ghost, and is commonly known as a 'ghost visitor.' That thing was probably trapped in that area all this time; it can't go ashore to harm people, unless a ghost substitute is found. Brother Feng, do you remember how Wang Yu died? And where his body was found?"

At Chi Shuyan's reminder, Feng Yuanlin immediately remembered that Wang Yu's body had indeed been fished out of Swan Lake. To be honest, the police still didn't know how Wang Yu's body had been moved from the hotel to Swan Lake.

Even if he had been murdered and his body taken away by car, there was evidence that Wang Yu had been at the hotel that night, and there had been nothing unusual. The police had pulled up the hotel's surveillance footage, but there was no sign of Wang Yu going out that night, nor did they see anyone suspicious.

How had Wang Yu's body been dumped in Swan Lake?

For example, if it really was a homicide in Wang Yu's case, Swan Lake definitely wasn't a good place to dump the body. There were still people there every day. As long as the murderer wasn't stupid, they definitely wouldn't drive more than a dozen miles just to dump the body where it could be easily discovered in Swan Lake.

The more Feng Yuanlin thought about it, the more he couldn't understand. However, this matter couldn't be reasoned out with logic, because it wasn't a human who had killed someone, but a ghost. Thinking this, Feng Yuanlin's head hurt even more!

"Shuyan, how do you think Wang Yu provoked that ghost thing to begin with? Quite a lot of people go to Swan Lake to play. Why did it have to be these boys? What on earth did they do?"
