"As your godfather, I'm just here to vet her for you, make sure you don't get swindled again, and won't delay your important business." Seeing this, Lin Chen had no choice but to try and persuade him. Being a godfather was truly exhausting!
"Alright!"
Fatty finally nodded in agreement. While he believed Xiao Rui wasn't like Jing Jing, he also knew his own situation. He was neither rich nor handsome, and most girls wouldn't look twice at him. Having someone vet her was probably for the best.
Fatty immediately took Lin Chen to the place he had arranged to meet Xiao Rui. It was by the slightly secluded ornamental trees behind the school.
Seeing that the surroundings were empty and deserted, Lin Chen was speechless. "You really have a big heart!"
What normal person would agree to a date here? It's not like they were looking to make out in the wild.
Only someone with Fatty's emotional intelligence would actually believe her and come here alone. If he hadn't rushed back tonight, Fatty might have been found dead tomorrow.
Just as Fatty was about to say something, three figures suddenly walked over from not too far away. In the middle was a beautiful, delicate-looking woman.
Upon seeing Fatty, the woman quickly shouted, "Run!"
"Slap~"
Before the woman could finish speaking, the man beside her slapped her across the face. Seeing this, Fatty was furious and rushed towards the woman's location.
"What the hell... what's going on?"
Lin Chen was also a bit stunned by this scene. The woman had told Fatty to run? Wasn't she coming for Fatty?
As Lin Chen was taken aback, the two men beside the woman moved. They instantly appeared beside Fatty and grabbed at him.
"What?" Fatty looked at the two men who had suddenly appeared beside him and was completely stunned. He was still seven or eight meters away from Xiao Rui, and yet the two men were already beside him in the blink of an eye?
Fatty had witnessed strange events before. At this moment, he knew that the two men in front of him were probably not ordinary people!
"Godfather, save me!" Fatty cried out urgently.
"Good son, your godfather is here!"
Lin Chen laughed heartily and instantly appeared beside Fatty. His fist, imbued with Blood Qi True Flame, struck down, and the two men instantly turned into dust.
Lin Chen looked at Xiao Rui in the distance and said coldly, "Considering you told Fatty to run for his life just now, I'll give you a chance to speak!"
If Xiao Rui hadn't had a change of heart just now, she would have already turned into dust!
Fatty looked at Xiao Rui in the distance and then said to Lin Chen, "Old Lin, Xiao Rui she..."
"A ghost!"
Fatty's expression shifted slightly, but he didn't say much more. At least Xiao Rui had told him to run, which showed she had some feelings for him.
"Brother Qi is the boss of the nearby ghosts. He controls some ghosts and uses them to find prey. I am one of the ghosts he controls." Xiao Rui glanced at Fatty and continued, "Last night, I was being bullied, and before I could do anything, he stepped in to save me."
"I didn't intend to take his life, but this was discovered by Brother Qi's subordinates, who forced me to kill him." Xiao Rui paused slightly here, then continued, "He is too naive and doesn't understand the dangers of the world. I couldn't bear it and planned to let him go!"
So that's how it was!
"Take me to Brother Qi!" Lin Chen looked at Xiao Rui in front of him.
"Okay!"
Xiao Rui didn't hesitate at all.
"Fatty, go back and wait for me!" Lin Chen looked at Fatty not far away.
Hearing this, Fatty quickly shook his head. "I'll go with you. I'm scared to go back alone!"
He had encountered ghosts twice in a short period. For an ordinary person, this frequency was indeed quite high. Fatty's survival was largely due to Lin Chen.
Fatty knew that following Lin Chen would be safer, so he chose to accompany him.
Lin Chen's mouth twitched slightly when he saw this, but he still nodded in agreement.
He immediately took Xiao Rui and Fatty to the parking lot. Upon seeing the G-Wagon, Fatty's eyes widened. "Holy crap, Old Lin, is that your car? When did you buy it?"
Fatty had heard of the G-Wagon's reputation and knew it cost millions. Even Zhang Song and the others couldn't afford it, yet Lin Chen had bought it without a word?
"Bought it a couple of days ago. It's not bad as a daily driver!" Lin Chen said calmly.
Fatty looked at Lin Chen in disbelief. "No way, Old Lin, what are you saying? This is a G-Wagon, and you're using it for daily driving, saying it's 'not bad'?"
"If not for daily driving, what else would I use it for?" Lin Chen rolled his eyes at Fatty.
"Of course, it's for... daily driving!"
Fatty had wanted to say "picking up girls," but Xiao Rui was right there. Even though she was a female ghost, he had still been attracted to her. Ultimately, he couldn't say something like "picking up girls" in front of a girl he had liked.
"Call me Godfather!" Lin Chen looked at Fatty and continued, "If there's a chance, I'll let you drive it for a couple of days!"
"Godfather, Godfather, Godfather!" Fatty quickly said.
"Holy crap, I told you to call me Godfather, not to bark like a dog!"
Lin Chen's face darkened. This darn Fatty would do anything for a car, no matter how shameless.
Under Xiao Rui's guidance, Lin Chen soon arrived at a small alley in the adjacent district and found a half-open casino.
"This is Brother Qi's lair," Xiao Rui said to Lin Chen beside her.
"Wait here, I'll be back soon!"
Lin Chen glanced at Fatty and Xiao Rui, then his figure moved, and he rushed directly into the casino. In less than three to five minutes, Lin Chen came out of the casino. All the ghosts inside had been killed by him.
"So fast?"
Seeing Lin Chen return, Fatty's face showed a hint of astonishment. It had only been a few minutes?
"You're fast, your whole family is fast. I'm just strong, okay?" Lin Chen rolled his eyes at Fatty.
Pfft~
Just then, a sudden laugh came from the side. It was none other than Xiao Rui.
Looking at Xiao Rui beside him, Fatty's expression was a little complicated. He then turned to Lin Chen, "Old Lin, can you..."
After all, she was a girl he had liked... a female ghost. And since she didn't intend to harm him, Fatty really couldn't bear to watch Lin Chen kill her.
"We'll talk about it later. I'll contact the Demon Suppression Division first!"
Lin Chen also had a headache. Although Xiao Rui might not have harmed anyone, she had at least shown loyalty to Fatty. Moreover, she was mostly forced by Brother Qi to harm others.
So for a moment, Lin Chen didn't know how to deal with Xiao Rui. If Fatty hadn't been there, Lin Chen wouldn't have had any psychological burden killing Xiao Rui.
But now that Fatty had spoken, he found it difficult to make a move to kill Xiao Rui. He could only call the Demon Suppression Division first to report the situation and ask how they handled cases like Xiao Rui's.
Immediately, Lin Chen dialed Xu Fei's number and informed him about the ghost and Xiao Rui.
"Generally, we have two ways to deal with such ghosts in the Demon Suppression Division. The first is to join the Demon Suppression Division as an auxiliary member, helping us fight against strange creatures. You'll receive some resources to improve your strength," Xu Fei's voice came through the phone.
"The second method is simpler. You just need to report to the Demon Suppression Division periodically and accept their supervision."
