Chapter 30: There’s A Dead Body!
The operator was stunned for a moment, hesitantly asking: “Child, did you dial the wrong number?”
“No!” Nan Yuanman looked around left and right, spotting the utility pole standing nearby. As Brother Niu got out of the car holding his head and stormed toward her angrily, she quickly said: “Their transaction location is in an alley next to this S-03-10kv utility pole. They’ve spotted me, sister, come quickly!!”
After speaking, Nan Yuanman hurriedly hung up the phone. Brother Niu also came in front of her, his face grim as he reached out to her: “Stinky little ghost! Where did you pop out from? Who were you just talking to?”
Nan Yuanman had been seen making the phone call, and Brother Niu’s heart sank slightly, unsure how much of what they had done with Liu Wei she had seen.
But he knew this little ghost absolutely could not be let go.
If she ran out and blabbed, they were done for!
Brother Niu was tall and burly, covered in large tattoos. When he suddenly darkened his face, he looked especially terrifying. He planned to scare Nan Yuanman into submission and take the chance to bring her onto the car and take her away together.
Anyway, among the big bosses they dealt with, quite a few had a taste for this. This little ghost was so pretty, just right to satisfy the big bosses’ preferences.
They’d nabbed two top-quality ones in one go—count that as their gain!
Nan Yuanman saw through his intentions, snorted lightly, and stomped her little foot: “Big bad guy! Take my headbutt!”
Her body shot out like a cannonball, head lowered, crashing straight toward Brother Niu’s chin.
Brother Niu was caught off guard and got hit squarely.
His chin throbbed with pain, and his whole body was sent flying by her: “Ah—!”
Just as he recovered a bit, the man who had gotten out of the van to check the situation looked up and was smashed squarely by Brother Niu’s flying body. He wailed: “Fuck! Ah—!”
Liu Wei and Yu Meimei, who hadn’t left the alley yet, were also dumbfounded. Watching the big and small figures suddenly “fight” in front of them, their hearts skipped a beat, and their alcohol-fogged minds instantly cleared.
Liu Wei immediately realized that what she had said to Brother Niu was very likely overheard by this little girl. Heart pounding with fear, she ran over, forcing a smile on her face: “Child, why are you here alone so late? Sister will take you to find your dad and mom, okay?”
As she spoke, she reached out to grab Nan Yuanman’s hand and forcibly take her away.
Nan Yuanman clutched her sore head and dodged her hand. Her clear black-and-white eyes stared eerily at her: “Auntie, doing too many bad things will bring retribution, you know.”
Liu Wei’s smile froze, her mouth twitching unnaturally, a flicker of anger rising in her heart.
She took a deep breath, turned her head, and glared at Yu Meimei: “What are you standing there for! Hurry up and come help!”
Since this little brat wouldn’t drink the toast, she’d have to drink the forfeit. Send her off with Qiu Shi!
Yu Meimei hurriedly ran over to help catch Nan Yuanman. She thought such a small child would be easy to grab, but unexpectedly, Nan Yuanman was slippery as an eel and couldn’t be caught.
And at that moment, the wail of police sirens came faintly from outside the alley.
Liu Wei and Yu Meimei’s faces changed instantly.
Brother Niu, who had recovered while clutching his chin, crawled up from the man, glaring at Nan Yuanman with shock and fury: “Dead little ghost! You called the police?!”
“You’re doing bad things, of course I have to call the police uncle to come take you away!” Nan Yuanman put her hands on her hips and huffed.
Liu Wei turned and ran: “Hurry and go!”
Yu Meimei also clutched her face and ran out.
Brother Niu and his companion panicked, ignoring Nan Yuanman as they hurriedly got into the car, hands shaking as they started the engine, and drove off in a panic.
Brother Niu’s eyes bulged with rage as he floored the accelerator, charging straight at Nan Yuanman.
It was all this little bitch’s fault! If not for her, the police wouldn’t have come!
But at the moment the van was about to hit her, it abruptly stopped. Brother Niu was stunned for a second, then he saw a scarecrow punch through the car window and smash him hard in the face.
Brother Niu: “!!!”
Accomplice: “!!!”
“There’s a monster—!!”
Brother Niu and his accomplice rolled their eyes and fainted from fright.
The fleeing Liu Wei and Yu Meimei were also bound by black yin energy and yanked flying back from the alley entrance.
Nan Yuanman satisfactorily patted Xiao Cao and Zhuang Zhuang’s heads, praising: “Well done!”
So, when the police arrived, they saw a van parked there, along with a short and stocky little girl standing beside it, and two men and two women collapsed around her.
The responding police were stunned when they saw the exquisitely carved, doll-like child. Nan Yuanman waved excitedly at them: “Police uncle! All the bad guys are here! Come quickly!”
“I recorded the scene of these bad guys doing bad things with my watch. The girl they trafficked is in the car.”
The responding Captain Yu exchanged a glance with his colleague. He waved a hand, and one police officer immediately went to check inside the van.
A few seconds later, the officer’s shocked voice came out: “Captain! There’s really a girl in this van!”
“Her condition looks off, Captain. She’s probably been drugged and needs to go to the hospital!”
Captain Yu: “…”
He immediately arranged for someone to send the drugged Qiu Shi to the hospital, then looked down at the reporter in front of him—who seemed not yet five years old—with a complicated expression: “Child, you need to come back to the police station with us. We need to learn more from you.”
Nan Yuanman nodded obediently: “Okay.”
Captain Yu quickly arranged for people to load the unconscious Brother Niu and the other three onto the police car.
Then he lowered his head, hesitating as he looked at Nan Yuanman, who wasn’t even as tall as his thigh, and asked: “Do you need me to carry you?”
Nan Yuanman shook her head: “No need.”
She was just about to stick out her little buttocks to climb up when a loud “bang” sounded from not far away, accompanied by a scream that pierced the sky.
“Ah—! There’s a dead person!”
Captain Yu’s face turned serious instantly. He bent down, scooped Nan Yuanman up from the ground, and shoved her into the police car: “You all take them back first. Xiao Yan, A Zhu, come with me to check the situation.”
Nan Yuanman had just settled in the police car when her nose keenly picked up a familiar, grievance-filled rotting stench wafting from afar.
Her brows furrowed instantly. This aura was from that student ghost that had previously latched onto Brother Qinian and escaped from her grasp!
Had he found a new target so quickly?
No, she had to go check it out!
So, as Captain Yu closed the car door, Nan Yuanman nimbly slipped out through the gap and quickly followed them.
—
At this time, at the entrance of the restaurant where Nan Yuanman had just been.
A girl in a waitress uniform lay at the doorway. Her limbs were twisted, blood slowly flowing from beneath her. Blood kept surging from her slightly open mouth, and her bulging eyes stared bewilderedly at the sky.
Pinned to her chest was a name tag reading Xie Tingting.
Xie Tingting convulsed and took her last breath. Her soul bewilderedly floated up from the corpse. Before she could react to what had happened, she saw a pallid-faced boy with cracks all over his face—looking especially terrifying—pounce toward her.
Xie Tingting: “!!!!”
Help—!
A new round of PK begins! Dear readers, don’t stockpile for now, love you all, muah!
