The moment Lan Ruoyi was dumbfounded, Ye Chen had already hugged her and dodged. With a casual wave of his hand, the middle-aged woman fell to the ground.
"You, you still want to kill me?" Mrs. Zhang was a little agitated, and her eyes were red with anxiety.
Lan Ruoyi naturally knew that it was her. She waved her hand, but her lips moved, but she could not speak. After a while, she mustered up her courage and walked over. She squatted down and pulled Mrs. Zhang up.
Mrs. Zhang waved her hand away and shouted at the top of her lungs.
"I only have one daughter. How could you do this to her? She, she treats you as her best friend. In the end, this is how you treat her. How could you be so cruel, my daughter?”
The reporters seized the opportunity and started snapping photos. Lan Ruoyi was at a loss. This was Zhang Mengmeng's mother. What could she do? Ye Chen stepped forward to protect Lan Ruoyi and snapped his fingers in the distance. The people around him stopped moving.
"Let's go."
"Wait a minute." Lan Ruoyi's eyes reddened as she looked at Mrs. Zhang again. "Auntie, Mengmeng is my best friend. I'm very sad that she was killed, but I definitely didn't cause it. On the contrary, I'm the most innocent person. I will do my best to find the murderer and return the truth to everyone.”
After Ye Chen brought her into the car, it was as if nothing had happened. When the reporters realized that they had left, they chased after the car frantically. But how could they catch up to Ye Chen? They disappeared completely after a short distance.
Lan Ruoyi's face was covered in tears. After the fear and helplessness, she could not help but feel sad.
"We used to be best friends. We traveled together and explored ancient tombs with Teacher. We thought that we could be like this for the rest of our lives. I know that she likes to go to nightclubs. I reminded her many times, but it was useless. In the end, something happened.”
Ye Chen shook his head." This matter has nothing to do with you. Everyone has to pay the price for their own choices. Even if today's incident did not happen, Zhang Mengmeng would still die. The result would still be the same. Didn't you want to find out the truth? How about I give you a clue?”
"Tell me." Lan Ruoyi wiped her tears and smiled."It's good to have you here."
Ye Chen pursed his lips and did not speak. After a while, he said,""Zhang Mengmeng has a lot of boyfriends. A few days ago, I received news that several men died in different places on the same day. However, their souls were taken away before the Soul Reaper went. I suspect that this matter is related to this case.”
"It can't be." Lan Ruoyi pursed her lips." Why do you think it has something to do with me? Just because their souls can't be found?"”
"No." Ye Chen vetoed it and turned his head to look at her. "The four men who died were all related to Zhang Mengmeng.”
"It can't be." Lan Ruoyi swallowed her saliva. This was too horrifying. She knew that Zhang Mengmeng often changed boyfriends, but she didn't expect it to be so crazy. Who killed all these people? Could it be someone familiar? "Ye Chen, this can't be a crime of passion, right? That night was very strange. I clearly saw that man die. How did he become alive?”
Ye Chen did not need to think to know that it was definitely You Nuo's doing. "What you saw that day was an illusion. His goal was for you to get that knife. Your fingerprints were left on it. Do you think you can explain it? That person definitely did not fall from your house. He might have been on the ground before you went there. It was indeed a ghost that jumped down. You were not wrong.”
"I see." Lan Ruoyi was sometimes clear-headed and sometimes confused. To her, how to prove her innocence was more difficult than ascending to heaven. "Ye Chen, won't something happen to you when you're a ghost in the crowd every day? Moreover, you seem to be very familiar with the Underworld. What exactly do you do?”
Ye Chen glanced at her." You can't worry about me. I have a position in the Underworld. I can travel between the Yin and Yang worlds." I can't interfere too much in your matters, but this involves the case of the Underworld. I have the right to investigate the truth on behalf of the messenger. Therefore, I'm under the orders of Hades to assist you in finding You Nuo.”
"Who is You Nuo?"
"The former Nether King."
So that was the case. Lan Ruoyi felt that she had seen the so-called You Nuo before, but she could not remember where she had seen him before. Lan Ruoyi shook her head to stop her imagination from running wild.
They arrived at the place where Ye Chen lived. It was definitely a remote suburb. Lan Ruoyi looked around and couldn't help but shiver. The wilderness was suitable for ghosts to live in.
Some images appeared in his mind. On a dark night, ghosts with long tongues were moving freely.
"The feng shui here is good. You don't have to think too much.”
"Hehe, isn't this my first time living with a ghost? Do you still have any at home? Let me prepare in advance.”
"They won't hurt you."
Was there still a need to say? Ordinary little ghosts were afraid of the jade pendant on her neck. Although they didn't know who it was, it was definitely not a simple piece of jade.
When they arrived, a villa appeared in the wilderness. It looked quite luxurious. Lan Ruoyi took a deep breath. Ye Chen shook his head helplessly and pulled her inside.
When the door opened automatically, Lan Ruoyi was shocked and jumped behind him immediately.
A middle-aged man in a butler's uniform walked out and bowed to them before inviting them in.
"Mistress, Mistress."
Huh? Lan Ruoyi almost fell. Was he kidding? Upon closer inspection, he didn't have a shadow. He was obviously a ghost.
"Prepare food for her." After Ye Chen spoke, Butler Li immediately bowed and left, ordering the others to prepare.
Ye Chen pulled Lan Ruoyi upstairs. Lan Ruoyi was still trying to familiarize herself with the environment, but before she could react, she had already reached the bedroom.
This bedroom was several times bigger than when she was at home. If Ye Chen was not a ghost, she would have suspected that he was a rich man. Of course, he still had a position in the Underworld, so how could he live in such a bad place?
"You have to stay with me to prevent You Nuo from attacking you.”
What motive did You Nuo have for attacking her? Lan Ruoyi thought about it and felt that the most likely reason was the jade token on her neck.
"Hey, they aren't trying to snatch this plate, are they? I may face the danger of being robbed from time to time in the future. You can protect me, right? After all, you gave me my jade card, so you have to take responsibility.”
Ye Chen sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, one arm resting on the back of the sofa as he stared at her and nodded. "I might not be at home sometimes, so you can stay here in peace. If you go out, bring a guard with you. If anything happens to you, call my name to the jade token. I'll definitely rush over when I get the news, but if anything happens, you have to learn to protect yourself.”
You have a lot of power in your body, but you don't know it yet.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:021420196:38PM
