I Heard That I'll Be Super Fierce After My Death 45 Plow Hard Day And Nigh

It seemed that his asking price was low.

Lin Wu couldn't help but look at this sickly beauty speechlessly, asking in doubt, "You're really planning to fork out ten million? Spending ten million just to ask me some things? RMB?"

"Uhhh..."

The sickly beauty was slightly stunned. She then immediately coughed and said, "Of course. Other than asking you some things, there's still a little problem I need your help with..."

"Little trouble?"

Lin Wu couldn't hold back his smile. "What little trouble would require ten million to solve? Beauty, although you look quite nice, you aren't so beautiful that it'll affect my intelligence."

The sickly beauty knew that her words sounded a little fake. She threw a glance at the patients and nurses who were pa.s.sing by the lift, and then said helplessly, "This isn't a place to talk. Can we talk about this at my office?"

"... Alright." 

He was quite tempted by the ten million. Regardless of what it was, he'd first listen to see what help was requested of him. If there were any danger, he could just refuse.

"This way please."

The sickly beauty finally heaved a sigh of relief, leading the way for Lin Wu.

Although her body was abnormally weak, she seemed to have recovered some strength and could now walk steadily.

Lin Wu walked next to her and asked, "You're a doctor?"

"No. I'm just borrowing my dad's old office." The sickly beauty shook her head and took out a name card from her pocket, handing it to Lin Wu.

Lin Wu didn't refuse it this time around. He took the name card and glanced at it. "Rende Pharmacy… project manager… s.h.i.+ Qiuhong?"

The sickly beauty 's.h.i.+ Qiuhong' quickly nodded.

"Rende Pharmacy doesn't seem like some big company... You're just a project manager, yet you're able to afford ten million?" Lin Wu a.s.sessed her suspiciously.

s.h.i.+ Qiuhong said carefully, "Rende Pharmacy's chairman is my grandfather..."

"..."

Lin Wu was speechless.

Not long later, the two of them arrived at an office without any name plate on it. s.h.i.+ Qiuhong took out a key and opened the door, bringing Lin Wu in.

Lin Wu a.s.sessed the office's interior. It was very clean and neat, without much dust. There was even a bed there. It seemed that s.h.i.+ Qiuhong would take a rest here occasionally.

The moment s.h.i.+ Qiuhong entered the office, she picked up the medicine bottle on the desk, opened it, and poured out two tablets. She then drank a large mouthful of water and swallowed the pills. It was only then did her complexion improve.

"Do you need a drink?" s.h.i.+ Qiuhong then turned to ask Lin Wu.

"No need. Let's just go straight to the discussion." Lin Wu shook his head and sat down on the sofa.

A hint of color returned to s.h.i.+ Qiuhong's beautiful face, and she sat down on the sofa opposite Lin Wu while holding onto the cup of water. She remained silent for a moment before speaking out in a soft voice, "Do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?"

"I do." Lin Wu nodded.

s.h.i.+ Qiuhong immediately asked, "Then have you seen a real ghost?"

"En, I have met a few of them," Lin Wu nodded and said.

"So, you really do have yin-yang eyes?" s.h.i.+ Qiuhong couldn't hold back her agitation.

"Yin-yang eyes? I don't have that." Lin Wu shook his head.

"Huh?"

s.h.i.+ Qiuhong asked, feeling perplexed. "Didn't you say that you've met a few ghosts?"

"Don't you know? It's not only people with yin-yang eyes who can see ghosts." Lin Wu said calmly, "If one has some kind of connections with the ghosts, they'll be able to see them too. Of course, most ghosts that can appear in ordinary people's eyes are malicious ghosts."

"Some kind of connections?" s.h.i.+ Qiuhong was slightly stunned and couldn't help but mumble, "It's no wonder that I can hear grandfather's voice..."

"Grandfather?"

Lin Wu asked, "Isn't your grandfather the chairman of Rende Pharmacy? Did he pa.s.s away? Could it be that you had gone to the mortuary to see your grandfather?"

s.h.i.+ Qiuhong fell silent for a moment before nodding gently. "My grandfather pa.s.sed away five days ago, but I wasn't in Su City then and couldn't see him one last time. That's why when I came back yesterday, I went to the mortuary."

"He hasn't been buried yet?" Lin Wu asked, feeling puzzled.

"In our family, we generally bury the dead on the seventh day." s.h.i.+ Qiuhong shook her head and then sighed. "Moreover, our family encountered some matters recently. We haven't even bought our grandfather's coffin yet."

Lin Wu didn't pursue her family matters and said, "Carry on."

s.h.i.+ Qiuhong leaned against the sofa and continued saying, "Actually, I was a little unwilling to see grandfather's corpse. After all, he had doted on me so much in the past. After seeing his corpse, I would probably cry. However, I wasn't in a good mood because of my family matters, and I was also missing my grandfather, so I planned to make a trip to the mortuary to talk to grandfather."

Lin Wu was speechless.

This girl was really something. She had gone to look for a corpse to chat because she wasn't in a good mood.

s.h.i.+ Qiuhong frowned slightly and said, "But when I entered the mortuary yesterday, I heard a voice that kept on repeating 'Qiuhong, save me'."

"I listened to it carefully and realized that it was my grandfather's voice."

"I was really given a bad scare then and gave a reply, bearing with the fear. However, grandfather only kept on calling my name, asking me to save him."

s.h.i.+ Qiuhong said in a soft voice, "Thereafter, I planned on opening the cell that stored my grandfather's corpse to take a look. After all, grandfather had doted on me so much. Even if he had turned into a ghost, it was unlikely that he'd harm me."

The corners of Lin Wu's lips twitched slightly.

(Young lady, you're really something. Putting aside the fact that you ran to the mortuary alone, you even dare to take the initiative to look for a ghost?)

"Then, I really met a ghost."

s.h.i.+ Qiuhong said, feeling a little apprehensive, "Just as I walked to the cell and was about to open the lock, I felt many hands suddenly grabbing onto me! I instantly felt my body freezing and stiffening up, and could only hear my grandfather calling out my name incessantly from the cell. However, I was unable to budge and could only be pushed to the mortuary's door by those ghosts."

"Those ghosts didn't allow you to open the cell?" Lin Wu frowned slightly and asked, "Why?"

"I have no idea either."

s.h.i.+ Qiuhong shook her head. "I attempted again and again. But every time I got close to Grandfather's cell and wanted to open it, those ghosts would stop me."

"Oh, you failed yesterday, so you went again today?" Lin Wu was struck by a realization.

s.h.i.+ Qiuhong nodded. "En, I brought along some talismans that I spent a lot of money to purchase, but I didn't expect those experts to all be scammers. These talismans were useless."

Lin Wu gave it some thought and said, "But I find something a little strange. Why did your grandfather become a ghost after he pa.s.sed away?"

s.h.i.+ Qiuhong was slightly stunned. "It's because he died."

"You're wrong. Not everyone would become ghosts after they die. They must have a strong obsession for them to become a ghost."

Lin Wu shook his head and said, "If your grandfather had pa.s.sed away naturally, then it'd adhere to the natural cycle of birth, death, illness, and old age, and he shouldn't have too strong of an obsession. Why would he become a ghost then?"

"Obsession?" A hint of doubt appeared on s.h.i.+ Qiuhong's beautiful face.

Lin Wu explained, "It's something that they have a strong wish of doing, but hadn't managed to do."

s.h.i.+ Qiuhong tilted her head and thought about it, then frowned and said, "My grandfather didn't have many obsessions before his death. He would at most dote on me a lot, wanting me to get married earlier to be able to see my children while he was still alive. But this little expectation shouldn't be sufficient for him to become a ghost, right?"

"Oh? It might just be this obsession."

Lin Wu's eyes lit up, and he looked seriously at s.h.i.+ Qiuhong, saying solemnly, "Didn't you want to get my help? Alright, I'll agree to it. In order to fulfill the old man's dying wish, in order to let your grandfather see your child earlier and pa.s.s away in peace, I'll take on the responsibility and guarantee to plow hard day and night."
