Gou Songze replied, “My cousin has roughly determined a location but further investigation is still needed.”
Xia Xianning’s gaze swept across the office, deep in thought. He knew that since Luo Mingbai had calculated the location, it would definitely be accurate. However, he was currently too busy to act personally. After thinking, he said, “Yiyi people won’t easily reveal their true form and will rely on transportation to leave. They prefer to live in deep mountains. First, send people to search possible locations in the southwest. Songze, Yang Zheng, you two lead the team. Be careful and maintain constant communication.”
After arranging the tasks, he had someone pull out the Yiyi people’s files and finally found time to call Luo Mingbai.
When Luo Mingbai received Xia Xianning’s call, he was about to leave the hospital. Zou Ying never expected that her attempt to seek help would result in more troubles, with the female ghost still lingering. Frustrated, she blocked the door to prevent Luo Mingbai from leaving.
“What is this about? You can’t just find me trouble and then walk away!” Zou Ying was furious. “You even called the police? Can’t we discuss this? At the very least, you should get rid of this female ghost first.”
Luo Mingbai calmly said, “If her daughter doesn’t return safely, she won’t leave. You can go talk to the police yourself.”
Zou Ying retorted, “You expect me to tell the police there’s a ghost? How can they possibly help?”
Luo Mingbai responded, “Sorry, but you might be mistaken. I’m not reporting this to help you, but to arrest you. Your daughter and her companions went out, and you watched her get kidnapped. I suspect you’re colluding with human traffickers.”
This accusation stunned Zou Ying: “You’re talking nonsense!”
Luo Mingbai’s tone remained calm: “As for you, you’re concealing a criminal and failing to report a crime.”
“
Though he had been strictly raised and had likely never spoken harshly before, Zou Ying felt each word was like a slap revealing her self-deception.
She trembled with anger, a subtle sense of shame emerging, momentarily unable to speak, only blocking Luo Mingbai’s path.
Luo Mingbai pushed her arm aside: “Every action has a consequence. You must repay the debt you’ve incurred.”
