"Why did you take so long to arrive?"
Xia Xiaoyu looked at Zifeng, feeling much more at ease inside. The fierce demeanor of the old man had frightened her to the point where her legs felt weak.
"You really don't need to act so tough!" Zifeng said, his tone softening as he spoke to Xia Xiaoyu.
"Can I be a little weaker then?"
"Um..."
Before Zifeng could finish his sentence, Xia Xiaoyu threw herself into his arms, trembling from the events of the night that had left her shaken.
"Are you okay..." Zifeng asked.
"I'm fine, it's just that I saw hundreds of ghosts fighting. It was quite a spectacle..."
"Could you not hold me so tightly? I can barely breathe..."
Zifeng smiled wryly.
"Okay..."
Xia Xiaoyu released Zifeng and stood beside him, completely relaxing now because she knew he was there. Everything would be alright...
"I won't hold it against you today since you were a soldier in your past life and died a natural death. However, laying hands on a girl is disrespectful to the uniform you wear..."
Zifeng pointed at the elderly man who had been shaken into a state of weakness, speaking in a calm and indifferent tone.
"Kid, you're quite bold!"
The old man glared at Zifeng with a dark expression.
"Want to give it a try?"
Zifeng's tone was icy, chillingly so.
"It’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. He has a bad temper, and I apologize to this young lady for any offense..."
The Old Woman could clearly sense the powerful aura emanating from Zifeng, and she quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
"We should go..."
Zifeng pulled Xia Xiaoyu along and turned to leave.
"Miss, please, I beg you, help us..." The Old Woman's voice came out choked with emotion, stirring Xia Xiaoyu's compassion. Moreover, Lin Xi was her friend; no matter what, she had to help her. However, she still focused her efforts on Zifeng.
"Zifeng, can I discuss something with you?"
As Xia Xiaoyu walked out of the Forest with Zifeng, she said.
"Sure, what is it?" Zifeng replied, sounding puzzled.
"I need you to do me a favor! Can you promise me?" Xia Xiaoyu whispered.
"Can you hear me?" Zifeng asked.
"I can hear you, of course..." Xia Xiaoyu quickly nodded.
"I'm not helping!" Zifeng replied bluntly.
"Zifeng..."
Xia Xiaoyu shouted.
"You never listen to me!"
Zifeng felt troubled, really, he had lost to her again.
"So, what do you think? Have you figured anything out?"
In Zifeng's place, Xia Xiaoyu sat on one side while Zifeng was still in front of the computer, opening the pictures on the memory card again.
"Nothing..."
Zifeng shook his head helplessly and turned around to reply affirmatively.
"Uh..."
Xia Xiaoyu was somewhat speechless. After a pause, she said, "What should we do now?"
"The missing case that happened at the University was also investigated by the police. There are files; the records should still exist. This matter doesn't have much to do with me. I can only exorcise spirits and at most help Wang Xiaojia's family break the bindings and then guide them..." Zifeng handed the memory card to Xia Xiaoyu. "You're right; this matter is closely related to Leng Yuchen, but he is a person, and this is not my profession. I think there is someone who can help you if you want to assist Wang Xiaojia; he would be better than me..."
"You mean Xu Qian..."
Upon hearing Zifeng's response, Xia Xiaoyu immediately thought of him.
"Yes..." Zifeng nodded.
"But this matter is very strange. Wang Xiaojia is dead, her family is dead, and..."
Xia Xiaoyu fell silent, and Zifeng continued, "But Leng Yuchen is alive. People like us can deal with Spirits, but living people are out of our scope..."
"Alright, but it's been so long since this happened. If we rely solely on this memory now, it probably won't be enough as evidence..."
"Do you think the State Bureau is idle? They should have a lot of resources at their disposal. You just need to hand this over to them. Besides, Xu Qian knows a lot about the law. With his help, we can make this work..." Zifeng replied without much change in tone.
"Is there any other way?" Xia Xiaoyu was somewhat unwilling to let the matter go like this.
"There is..." Zifeng uttered a single word.
"What?" Xia Xiaoyu asked curiously.
"Don't get involved in this matter..."
Zifeng said it very seriously.
