After more than half an hour, Chen Sibao brought me into a high-end restaurant. He had already reserved a private room, and I followed the waiter inside to sit down while he waited outside for that female ghost to arrive.
"Chen Sibao, I'll help you this once, but whether it works or not, don't come looking for me again!" I said to Chen Sibao, feeling exasperated. Why pursue someone like her when there are so many other options?
If he had encountered an Evil Cultivation female ghost, Chen Sibao would have been drained dry and left for dead in the wilderness. The fact that he was standing lively in front of me indicated that he was dealing with a righteous female ghost. Such ghosts cultivate by absorbing moonlight at night and do not harm others proactively. They blend into the crowd, making it impossible for ordinary people to detect them.
"If Chen Sibao can actually win over that female ghost, it would be quite a sight!" I thought to myself as I entered the private room. I had just sat down and fiddled with my phone when Jin Yuan called me.
As soon as I answered, I heard Jin Yuan's concerned voice on the other end: "Jiang Ling, I'm at the police station with a lawyer trying to get you out, but they said you've already been released! Where are you now?"
I could tell that Jin Yuan genuinely cared about me, and warmth surged in my heart. I thought about how Jin Yuan might know how to pick up girls, so I said, "Jin Yuan, I'm having late-night snacks with some friends. Why don't you come join us? I'll send you the address!"
"Oh! Never mind! Eating late-night snacks can make you gain weight!" Jin Yuan replied without hesitation.
My tone turned somber as I said, "Jin Yuan, if you come over, I'll pretend that thing with Wang Hai never happened! Otherwise, you'll have to deal with it yourself!"
"Haha, just kidding! I'll be right there; send me the address!" Jin Yuan laughed and hung up. I sent him the location via WeChat.
After about ten minutes, Chen Sibao walked in with five girls. The group of girls was dressed in sleek black professional outfits that gave off a very clean and sharp impression. Chen Sibao was beside the leading beauty, his face lit up with a broad smile.
The beauty also wore a black professional outfit but exuded a fresh and refined aura. She had an exquisite oval face and long black hair casually draped over her shoulders. She indeed looked quite elegant, making it hard not to steal another glance at her. No wonder Chen Sibao couldn't get her out of his mind.
"Jiang Ling, this is my crush, Yang Angang!" Chen Sibao introduced.
I stood up and nodded at Yang Angang. "Yang Angang, nice to meet you. I'm Jiang Ling, a friend of Chen Sibao!"
I noticed a faint Eerie Aura emanating from Yang Angang; she felt mysterious to me, and I couldn't see through her cultivation level.
Yang Angang was also sizing me up at that moment. A slight smile appeared on her lips as she said, "Jiang Ling, you're a friend from the Dao world, aren't you?"
"Yang Angang, don't worry, I mean you no harm!" I nodded, not denying my identity. In fact, ghosts can be categorized into good and bad. The Eerie Aura surrounding Yang Angang was pure, indicating that she had never harmed anyone; she was a ghost who practiced the righteous path. Generally, ordinary Yin-Yang Masters would turn a blind eye to her existence and would not attack her without reason.
Chen Sibao sensed that the atmosphere was a bit off and quickly pressed me back into my seat, smiling as he said, "Angang, don’t just chat away; sit down and order! It's my treat today, so order whatever you want!"
"Wow! Boss, is your boyfriend a rich second generation? He's so generous!"
"Exactly! And he's really handsome too! Boss, you're not too old; why don't you give him a try?"
"Yeah! Yeah!"
The group of girls brought by Yang Angang were all singing Chen Sibao's praises, trying hard to matchmake them, which made Chen Sibao's smile even brighter.
Yang Angang shot them a glare and said sternly, "I invited you all out for a late-night snack. If anyone dares to talk nonsense here, just go back to your posts!"
The girls stuck their tongues out at Yang Angang and huddled together to order. It was a rare opportunity to meet someone like Chen Sibao, a Tycoon; they naturally wanted to seize the chance to treat him well.
After about twenty minutes, the dishes were served just in time when Jin Yuan called. She had arrived, so I hurried downstairs to bring her up while explaining the purpose of her visit.
Jin Yuan looked at me with a strange expression and said, "Jiang Ling, I didn't expect you to know Director Chen. If I had known about this connection earlier, I wouldn't have worried so much!"
I awkwardly touched my ear and replied, "Actually, I only found out today that Chen Sibao is the director of the police station!"
As Jin Yuan and I entered the private room, she immediately sat down next to the group of girls. They quickly hit it off. As the saying goes, three women make a play; despite just meeting, they had endless topics to discuss.
Under Jin Yuan's deliberate guidance, Yang Angang's impression of Chen Sibao deepened unconsciously. The way she looked at him softened slightly.
"Beautiful Yang, Chen Sibao specifically asked me to bring you a gift. I hope you'll like it!" Jin Yuan said with a smile as she took out an exquisite gift box from her bag. Opening it revealed a thumb-sized jade pendant inside.
"Such a beautiful Jade Pendant!" The eyes of the group of girls sparkled with envy. The jade pendant was completely transparent, shimmering with dazzling light under the illumination, making it look exceptionally stunning.
Yang Angang's face showed surprise upon seeing the pendant, and she exclaimed, "This is the Soul Nourishing Jade Pearl!"
The Soul Nourishing Jade Pearl is an artifact specifically designed to nourish Ghostly Beings and Divine Souls. This type of Jade Artifact can nurture Yang Angang's soul, helping her resist the intense Yang Qi, while also accelerating her cultivation speed. It was a gift perfectly suited for Yang Angang.
Chen Sibao noticed that Yang Angang was clearly moved. He had enough insight to see this. He stood up, took the Jade Pendant, and walked over to Yang Angang, saying, "Angang, if you like it, let me put it on you!"
Yang Angang hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded, allowing Chen Sibao to place the Jade Pendant around her neck. Their relationship took another step forward; although Chen Sibao still had a long way to go before winning Yang Angang's heart, at least they had made a good start.
I glanced at Jin Yuan and was surprised to see that she happened to have a Soul Nourishing Jade Pearl as well. Curiously, I asked, "Jin Yuan, where did you get your Soul Nourishing Jade Pearl?"
Jin Yuan's eyes sparkled with shrewdness as she replied, "Oh! This was originally ordered by Wang Hai for his ghost in advance; it just arrived this afternoon. Who would have thought Wang Hai would end up dead? Since he already paid for it, I’m giving it to Director Chen as a gift so he owes me a favor!"
The atmosphere in the private room grew increasingly lively, but suddenly I sensed a strange aura coming from outside the restaurant—something very eerie.
Furrowing my brow, I stood up and said, "Everyone, I need to step out for a moment. Please continue eating!"
