With remarkable composure, he no longer tried to hide the weird expressions in the room. He calmly removed the flowers from his head and put them away, then lifted Luo Yingbai from the ground, standing between him and Luo Jiao: “Teacher, we were really just playing around.”
Luo Yingbai said: “Okay, dad, Xianning has explained, we haven’t seen each other for days, you must have missed me. Spare me. By the way, I have something to ask. Xianning, how is Yin Ming?”
Xia Xianning said: “He refuses to say anything. Last night he had a concussion and was sent to the hospital. He’s now out of critical condition.”
Wei Shou added: “I was on duty watching him. He seemed normal, just extremely panicked and terrified. When I was awakened by a wall-hitting sound, I saw him choking himself and trying to ram into the wall.”
Luo Yingbai asked: “He got a concussion?”
Wei Shou shook his head: “I thought it wasn’t that serious. He only hit once, and his forehead wasn’t even broken before I stopped him. But Yin Ming fell unconscious and had to be sent to the hospital with two people watching him.”
Gou Songze added: “It was like he was possessed by a ghost, but no ghostly energy was detected at the time.
Luo Yingbai pondered silently, sorting through the line about Yin Ming. He was a teacher from their school who had left under mysterious circumstances over a decade ago, going to the mountains to study feng shui and divination. Luo Yingbai knew about him because he had approached them to help resolve the Liao family’s matter.
The first question that arose was that Yin Ming didn’t seem like someone who would go out of his way to help others. If he couldn’t bring Liao Zhong back himself, then even if he asked Luo Yingbai to help and Luo Yingbai succeeded, the Liao family would be grateful to Luo Yingbai – so what benefit would this bring to Yin Ming?
