At the same time, Yang Xiao also didn’t forget to remind Fu Qingzhu to be wary of those who might dig up the incident of Wu Peide being killed, as the Patrol Defense Office had already uncovered some clues.
"Rest assured, I’ll handle it cleanly," said Fu Qingzhu, always reliable in his work. "With this new identity, it will be much more convenient for us to interact in the future. I hope for Commissioner Yang’s continued support in work matters."
"Sure thing," Yang Xiao said with the air of a leader.
Fu Qingzhu was driving fast; at this moment, he could already see the silhouette of the apartment building under the night sky and couldn’t help advising, "You know, you should consider moving, a Deputy Director of the Patrol Defense Office, and a Commissioner of the Joint Action Bureau living in a cheap apartment, that’s too shabby."
"Hey hey hey, what cheap apartment? This place costs several thousand a month!" Yang Xiao corrected unhappily. Although he had saved some money recently, his time of prosperity had been too short, and his spending mentality hadn’t fully adapted. Just a year ago, he was almost evicted by his landlord.
"If it’s not enough, tell me. I can sponsor you," said Fu Qingzhu, who was wealthy and generous.
"Heh heh, I appreciate the thought, I’ve bought the villa already, it’s in Hengjiu Grand. I’ll take you there once it’s all set up." The car had already parked by the roadside not far from the apartment; Yang Xiao opened the door and got out.
"In turbulently times like these, and you’ve just risen to a high position, who knows how many eyes are watching you from the shadows, be cautious everywhere, it’s always good to be careful," Fu Qingzhu said.
"Don’t worry," Yang Xiao responded.
Back in his apartment room, Yang Xiao ensured there were no issues inside before he locked the door, put down his backpack, and sat down in front of the sofa.
Closing his eyes, slowing his breathing, scenes of his intimate moment with Chi Dan replayed in his mind, and soon, he noticed something was amiss.
He was usually very composed, but at that moment, his psychological defenses completely collapsed, particularly when he vividly remembered Chi Dan straddling his legs, her hands on his shoulders.
However, no matter how much Yang Xiao tried to recall, he couldn’t remember Chi Dan’s soft, spring-water-like eyes in the following minutes, and even her face began to blur in his memory.
"What’s going on?"
Yang Xiao vaguely realized the problem; he had a good memory, especially at a critical moment like that, there was no reason to forget. freewebnoveℓ.com
Thinking about the sudden interruption by the Drama Robe female ghost, it felt unlike her to act so trivially. Whatever happened between him and Chi Dan shouldn’t concern her since he wasn’t wearing the Drama Robe.
After some thought, a chill went down Yang Xiao’s spine; the likeliest possibility was that the female ghost sensed Chi Dan had malicious intents and other motives.
To verify his suspicion, he looked towards the backpack on the table, took it and opened it swiftly, pulling out and putting on the Drama Robe, wearing it close to his body for a better heart-to-heart connection with his spiritual sister.
Closing his eyes again while sitting on the sofa, but this time the sensation was completely different. The icy touch of the Drama Robe, like the skin of the dead, carried a fatal chill, sharpening his mind. As he recalled the scene again, it slowly replayed in his mind just like a playback, and he clearly saw Chi Dan’s face, more importantly, her eyes!
In an instant, Yang Xiao’s breathing became rapid; he saw Chi Dan’s eyes were a strange purple color, with mysterious patterns rotating slowly at the bottom of her eyes—all of which happened in a flash.
And it was these purple eyes that instantly shattered his psychological defenses, allowing desire to overcome reason and plunging him recklessly into momentary pleasure.
That is the power of the Resentful Eye!
To charm the heart!
With this realization, Yang Xiao’s pupils trembled slightly, cold sweat running down his back. Indeed, this woman was not that simple. Yang Xiao didn’t believe she had purely fallen for him; what identity did this woman have, what kind of talented youths hadn’t she seen? It’s wise to know oneself, his capabilities were nothing in her eyes, she must have had other plans when she approached him.
"Could it be... she came for this?"
Yang Xiao looked down at the blood-red Drama Robe; this was an item even the Dean of Ru Lin Academy showed interest in.
In the Amber Bay Hotel, a top-floor executive suite, the room was lit by a distant corridor light. Much of the suite was engulfed in dimness; a girl dressed only in a thin nightgown was nestled in a plush genuine leather sofa, her long legs resting on a low table in front of her. The girl also had her eyes closed, her eyelids low, appearing to be asleep.
But from beneath the girl’s eyelids, a faint purple glow occasionally emitted, and her eyeballs also twitched oddly from time to time.
The next second, the girl suddenly opened her eyes; her delicate features instantly twisted fiercely, as she kicked over the table, scattering the cellphone, mineral water, and teacup on it all over the floor, "Damn it! Just a little bit more, just a little bit!!"
A figure gradually solidified behind the girl, emerging from the darkness as if stepping out from it, two long pale hands gently resting on the girl’s shoulders.
"Miss," the person behind her began softly, with a woman’s voice, enveloped entirely in a black robe save for an outline.
"Damn it! I almost managed to transfer the curse to him, now I have to find a new host!" the girl, who went by the name Chi Dan, gritted her teeth, her anger unabated.
"What did you see in his memory?" the woman’s voice asked from behind, her tone calm and soothing, possessing a comforting quality.
"I saw nothing, that thing was useless, it failed at the critical moment; I was just a little short of peering into his memory," Chi Dan’s eyebrows arched in frustration.
