Her Secret

n Guild is a good choice for them to hone themselves and earn rewards.” Said Old Mrs. Shen."Then who are these rewards given to Some wandering spirits don't even have victims, do they" I asked curiou...My brother and I got out of the car, Jiang Qiyun followed us quietly.

He is the Lord of the Underworld, so worldly attachments are naturally best minimized. I only need a nudge from him at crucial moments.

"I'm going to take a look, you stand here and don't run around." My brother said to me.

I nodded and watched him cautiously approach, first peering through the window of the makeshift command post before softly trying the doorknob.

"...Who is it!" A gruff voice came from inside.

"Looking for someone Asking out of curiosity." my brother replied.

That gruff voice roared, "…Looking for someone There's nobody here, they've all moved out!"

"Aren't you a human" My brother chuckled. "Big brother, we just want to ask some questions, please open the door, we won't let you down."

A slit in the door opened, and a pair of wary eyes appeared behind it.

"Who are you looking for" The man inside seemed to have seen my brother was rather thin and frail, so he lowered his voice slightly.

"I'm looking for your boss. I'm his friend. I've been trying to find him since yesterday, but no luck~," my brother said lazily, pulling out a cigarette and putting it in his mouth.

He was just pretending to be a tough guy, he quit smoking a long time ago.

"What do you want with our boss" the rough man asked.

"Damn, what else can I do looking for him Besides playing around, there's nothing else!" My brother put on this playboy act, with a natural talent for it.

The rough man saw that my brother wasn't here to "cause trouble," and his tone softened. He chuckled and said, “You’re our boss’s friend You’re late…”

Late

A rough man winked and said, "Our boss brought back a little girl this morning. That girl is really… her breasts are so full, they're about to burst out of her clothes, and her waist is as thin as a snake. The kind that makes you want to just…”

My eyebrows twitched. This morning, that must have been Changjing, right Changjing has indeed had quite a few cosmetic surgeries to enhance her beauty, making her look a bit unnatural.

My brother saw right through it. Busy putting on an angry act, he shouted, "Damn it! This kid is hogging all the spoils! With a beauty like that, why didn't he invite me!"

A rough and tumble guy chuckled: "I guess our boss has been under a lot of pressure lately, so he wants to have some fun by himself. Sigh, he just took that woman to the workers' quarters. There's a room there specifically reserved for him. Don't look at the exterior; it's a worker's room on the outside, but inside it's luxurious!"

I looked over at the two-story houses, still dark.

The burly man shoved past my brother's shoulder, glanced at me a few times, and whispered to my brother with a sly grin: "Bringing this woman here isn't bad... Although she's not eye-catching, she has a certain alluring quality. Our boss would love this one… Hey, if you get tired of her, remember to let the brothers have a taste too—"

Boom!

Before he could finish speaking, the door swung open with a tremendous force, sending the rough man flying several dozen feet back and leaving him with bumps on his forehead and back of his head.

I glanced at Jiang Qiyun beside me. He frowned slightly and stared at the vulgar man.

My brother walked in gloatingly, helped the man up. The man was stunned for a while, clutching his head and asking, "Wh-what happened!"

"Who knows what's wrong with you, did you get drunk" My brother said as he took the keys off his waist.

"Hey, I won't bother you anymore. Just tell me where your boss went, I'll go find him to play around... By the way, take this money and get yourself a few women to play with. Don't always eat what your boss has leftovers." My brother shoved a few red banknotes at him in a sly manner.

Upon seeing the money, the man forgot his headache and smiled, saying, "Sir, you are truly generous. To be honest, our boss left after nightfall, and I have no idea where he went."

"What about the woman he brought" I couldn't help but ask.

"Women... I don't know, maybe she left with him."

My brother winked at me, and we slipped out. He weighed the keys in his hand: "I'm going to check the worker's quarters. Wait for me."

My brother is really good at breaking and entering, scaling walls and picking locks. This week the neighborhood is deserted, completely quiet as night falls, so there's no risk of anyone seeing us or calling the police.

I rubbed my arms, and Jiang Qiyun shielded me from the wind, asking in a low voice, “......Why do you care so much about this”

"...That Chang Jing, she came to my house and kept lurking around, watching me. It made me very uncomfortable. I was worried something might happen to her, and then she'd run back to my house again, scaring all the old people and children inside." I answered honestly.

Jiang Qiyun shook his head and smirked, "Sometimes I don't know how to describe you... soft yet hard."

My phone suddenly lit up, and my brother sent me a voice message: "Xiao Qiao, come take a look quickly, something's not right here!"

I hastily looked towards Jiang Qiyun, he seemed somewhat helpless but still accommodated me, performing a spell to lead me inside.

This two-story worker dormitory is a common sight on construction sites, usually filled with workers at night. However, because this old district renovation project has stalled, the workers have been transferred to other projects, leaving only one guard behind.

This room was much larger than an ordinary worker's room. It had a two-meter bed, a standing air conditioner, a wardrobe, a floor lamp, a bedside stool, a desk, and a walk-in bathroom...

Where is the workers' dormitory This is a high-class bedroom.

"At this moment, everything inside was chaotic. My brother didn't dare to move around randomly. He pointed at the messy room and showed it to me."

The bed was a mess, with pillows on the floor and the blanket slumped over. The nightstand was cluttered with dishes and cups.

The bathroom was the same, towels and stuff were just thrown on the floor.

My brother crouched down and took a picture with his phone. There were black marks on the towel.

Blood

There was indeed a faint smell of blood in the room.

"...I'll give Lao Lu a call and have their professional detectives take a look." My brother said in a low voice.

I summoned the Land God and asked if the little ghost messengers had found any trace of Chang Jing and her boyfriend.

Due to Jiang Qiyun's face, Lord of Land naturally knew everything. He layer by layer inquired his subordinate little ghost messengers, among whom one little ghost messenger whispered: “When the small one was lighting the lamp, I saw a man and a woman walk past here.”

"A man and a woman" I questioned, doubtful.

"Yes, it was indeed a man and a woman. They got in the car and drove off, I have no idea where they went." The little clerk replied.

"Did she walk out on her own, or was she one of the ones carried out Was there something off about her" I pressed.

"Um..." The little ghost felt a bit nervous and tried to recall carefully, then spoke in a low voice: "…It was indeed a man and a woman. This subordinate didn't see a third living person, and they got into the carriage themselves, there wasn't anyone being carried."

Could Chang Jing be up to something Is she here fighting with her boyfriend again, bumping heads, and then making up

I frowned suspiciously, which probably made the little imp even more nervous. He stammered, "Little Madam, when I was patrolling, I really saw clearly that the man wasn't carrying a woman, and...and..."

And society," even resorting to making deals with yin and yang spirits."I was actually also waiting for an opportunity to communicate, just didn't expect you to be the bridge… I presume the other party i...
