Zhao Qian woke up with the help of the Nurse Sister, but her complexion was terrible. She fell asleep again shortly after waking up. [Fire text library]
Even with Sister Wife's secret help, she might have lingering problems after being possessed by the Mountain Ghost. I wanted to ask Old Hai to divine it, but Old Hai is lucky to even be able to walk in his current condition.
I took the opportunity to have the gentle Nurse Sister bandage my wounds and apply some medicine. However, due to the imbalance of Blood Essence, I almost fainted onto her.
Han Shanshan, who was writing a report nearby, gritted her teeth, furious. "You person, sigh, I don't even want to talk about you!"
I was startled awake by her. "What's wrong? You don't like it? Are you expecting me to collapse on you?"
The Nurse Sister beside me blushed at the words. Was I flirting with the police? Would I get into trouble? Frightened, she immediately ran off.
"So stupid, Zhao Qian is right there, why didn't you take the chance to lie on her? How can that nurse compare to her?" Han Shanshan seriously lectured me.
"You! It's just that there are people around," I was speechless with her.
Huo Dadong had already taken Zhao Zhou, Zhao Yi, and the relevant people away. Zhao Yi was incredibly lucky; on the way down the mountain, he only hit his head on a rock. But his screams were truly heart-wrenching. At the time, I thought the kid would be crippled if he survived. He really knew how to scare people.
"Brother, you're something else. The lightning was flashing so much on the mountain, it was quite scary. You guys actually stayed up there all night! Amazing!" Lei Qing came in through the door and poured me and Han Shanshan a cup of tea.
"Who let you in? Get out." Han Shanshan glared at him, clearly not getting along with this punk.
"Sister Han, I'm not talking about you. What's the point of you picking on me, a junior?" Lei Qing said with a pained expression.
"Hmph, you'd better stay outside. Can't you see there's a patient lying here?" Han Shanshan was acting like she was in charge, using her authority to the fullest. The room was Zhao Qian's small boudoir in the villa, not a place anyone could just enter. Didn't Lei Qing have any sense?
"I was just bringing you water. Fine, I'm leaving." Lei Qing saw Han Shanshan's displeased expression and quickly turned to leave.
"Wait." Han Shanshan stopped him, tapping her pen on the report, and asked, "So, you saw it too. I'm writing about your accomplice now. Do you want me to write that you accidentally shot his thigh, or should I say something else?"
Lei Qing was stunned for a moment before realizing what she meant. He immediately smiled, "How could that be? Officer Han, you were so brilliant and heroic at the time. How could that shot have been yours? That was A Biao going crazy and suddenly running into the line of fire. That kid has a record. When he saw people shooting, he got all hyped up and loved to dart around. How could that be your fault?"
"Hmph hmph, is he okay then? Won't he hold it against me?" Han Shanshan asked with a stern face.
"How could he! I, Lei Qing, guarantee it with my chest! He even said you shot well, wonderfully! He even secretly told me that he's had rheumatism since he was a child, and now, because of this shot, it doesn't hurt anymore! So how could he hold it against Sister Han? He'd be grateful!" Lei Qing's chest seemed to bruise from how hard he was patting it as he guaranteed.
"Be serious! Alright, alright, you can scram now." Han Shanshan glared at him, then casually waved her hand, dismissing Lei Qing.
Lei Qing breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ran off.
I glanced at Lei Qing, then at Han Shanshan. Seeing them playing their respective roles, I was completely speechless.
"I said, why aren't you writing your report at the police station? Why come here? Didn't you just fire a few shots last night and almost kill someone? Old Madam Zhao is still in the hospital." I chided her a few times, reminding her that she was the one who shot Old Madam Zhao in the stomach.
"The emperor is far away, and the higher-ups don't dare to interfere. Why are you managing me? What do you call this... ah, right, it's called special circumstances require special handling!" Han Shanshan rolled her eyes at me and flashed the badge of the Special Operations Division in front of my eyes, continuing to bury her head in the report.
This report was quite difficult to write. The higher-ups couldn't mention things like the Xuanmen, so they mostly let their subordinates improvise. As long as it didn't touch upon the Xuanmen, no matter how flowery the writing was, it would pass.
Han Shanshan's identity was not ordinary, otherwise, how could a mere police officer afford to live in Longyuan Residential Area? Moreover, even Captain Huo treated her with courtesy, and she could get along with Zhao Qian. The Feng Shui in her home was all in order.
"Then you write your report, I'm going out to make a call." I checked the time, it was 8:30. I wanted to call Yu Xiao Xue to ask about the electric furnace.
"What are you going outside for? The Zhao Family is holding a ritual ceremony to prepare for the funeral. It's on the mountain behind the villa," Han Shanshan asked.
I just nodded, but I still decided to go out.
Seeing me about to leave, Han Shanshan, besides writing the report, also had to watch Zhao Qian, so she didn't bother with me.
When I reached the doorway, I saw the Zhao Family members busy with preparations, lighting the soul-guiding lamps, hoisting the coffin onto the frame, and dressing the coffin in paper houses.
The funeral arrangements were orderly. The pháp sư leading the Zhao Family by the coffin was someone I didn't recognize. However, now that things had settled down and Wu Zhenghua had returned to his lair to lick his wounds, there shouldn't be any more trouble.
Only the Wang Family remained. I didn't know what that old guy Wang Cheng was thinking, but he hadn't added insult to injury for the Zhao Family these past two days. I was just afraid he would come to obstruct the funeral.
Seeing Lei Qing still around, I waved him over. "It's about time. What's the situation with the Wang Family?"
"Brother, after your stunt in the morgue, the Wang Family was subdued. They haven't had any ideas for now. I guess they'll go their separate ways. They're also wary of causing trouble at the Zhao Family's place. Look, Old Hai is still stationed at the Zhao Family's. However, if Zhao He gets out of the police station, it'll be hard to say then. Something will definitely happen," Lei Qing said.
"You're quite accurate. But for matters like this, it's best to resolve them if possible. Every wrong has its source, every debt its owner. Although Zhao He has some involvement, the one who actually killed someone was Wu Zhenghua." I nodded. Old Hai was a well-known Xuanmen Yin Yang practitioner in the county. Setting aside his underworld connections, he knew many influential people in the legitimate world. The Wang Family would show respect for Old Hai's sake. Besides, everyone was mourning now, so they probably wouldn't cause trouble again.
"That's true. I did some things for that old guy surnamed Wu. On the surface, he seems like a good person, but I feel he's quite ruthless inside." Lei Qing had done a lot of things for Zhao Yi and had witnessed them.
I didn't intend to get involved with Lei Qing, so I took my phone and went to the side. "Xue, are you awake?"
"Brother Tian! The things in the furnace are burned!" Yu Xiao Xue said excitedly.
"How many were successful?" I was excited. I had very little combat ability right now. If the soul urn was successfully burned at this time, it would be a great support for me.
"Three!" Yu Xiao Xue was also very happy.
"That's great. This is all thanks to you and Zhao Qian. I'll treat you to candy later," I praised.
"Oh! Then I want to eat half a kilogram! And White Rabbit creamy candies!" Yu Xiao Xue was overjoyed.
"No problem. Okay, I'll be home by noon. I'll buy them for you on the way." I hung up the phone and was about to turn back to check on Zhao Qian when Han Shanshan came out. Seeing me, she pulled me inside. "Zhao Qian is awake. She's insisting on going to see her grandfather off."
"If she can walk, then it's not a problem." I didn't stop her and walked in.
Zhao Qian's face was pale, her eyes bloodshot. Seeing me enter, she forced a smile. "Brother Tian."
"You're awake? How do you feel? Are you any better?"
Zhao Qian had suffered a lot these past few days. For example, being squeezed by a little ghost, having her neck choked by Wang Heng, and being possessed by the Mountain Ghost. These were all life-threatening events. She had encountered them all, truly having a difficult fate. Could it be that she had encountered some bad luck?
"I'm okay, it's just that Qian's eyes are a little sore." Zhao Qian rubbed her eyes and looked at me, shaking her head. Then she looked me up and down.
"No way?" I immediately sat by her bed and held open her eyelids, looking at her eyeballs. But unfortunately, I didn't find anything different. It seemed like she just hadn't slept enough, causing her eyes to be bloodshot.
Zhao Qian's cheeks immediately turned red, and her gaze drifted elsewhere.
"Hmph, you're not trying to take advantage of me, are you? I'm a police officer, you know!" Han Shanshan glared at me indignantly.
I realized I was just being overly concerned and stood up, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Tian Ge, Qian sees your aura is very complex, there's light blue and a layer of light gold."
Zhao Qian's nonsensical words startled both Han Shanshan and me!
"What did you say?" I was genuinely worried this time. Had she lost a soul or two to the Mountain Ghost, making her foolish?
"Qian! Are you okay? Doctor! Nurse!" Han Shanshan immediately went to the next room to get them.
Zhao Qian was also startled by our reaction and quickly added, "Qian is fine, I'm just a bit dizzy from waking up, I must have seen wrong."
The female doctor hurried over and checked her blood pressure and pupils. After a while, finding nothing wrong, she said suspiciously, "There's nothing serious, she's just overworked. She needs rest. It would be even better if she could stay in the hospital for a couple of days for overall observation."
"Qian doesn't want to be hospitalized," Zhao Qian said directly, then began to struggle to get up.
Han Shanshan had no choice but to help her up. Zhao Qian took a couple of steps and seemed to feel her gait was still a bit unsteady.
"I want to see Grandpa off. Shan Shan, can you help me?" Zhao Qian said softly.
Han Shanshan glanced at the doctor helplessly. Seeing the doctor wasn't too concerned, she nodded, "Hey, you help her too. Maybe walking a bit will make her steadier."
I was still pondering Zhao Qian's eye issue. Being possessed could be a serious matter. Some people become very susceptible to yin energy after being possessed. Zhao Qian had been possessed by the Mountain Ghost this time, which had greatly depleted her yang energy.
In the future, her chances of encountering ghosts would multiply. She looked so frail now. Furthermore, the Star Fixing Compass, which could have protected her, had already been given to Wu Zhenghua by Zhao Zhou as payment. Who knew what she would encounter from now on.
Zhao Qian insisted on seeing Old Man Zhao off, so I could only help her. Zhao He was still locked up at the police station. If she couldn't go, she would definitely hold a grudge later.
