Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1641 Unlucky Huang Chong

Huang Chong arrived at the police station. Seeing that Yang Ji and the others were fine, he heaved a sigh of relief and was happy, especially when he saw Yang Ji. After all, Yuan Yuan had said a few days ago that Yang Ji would definitely die. He had been really worried for the past few days that his phone would suddenly ring and he would hear the bad news about Yang Ji.

Fortunately, Yang Ji was fine. Huang Chong was happy and apprehensive, afraid that Yang Ji would suffer at some point. His eyes lingered on him for a while longer.

Feng Yuanlin cleared the reception room so that they could talk. In any case, the reception room was usually unused, so it wasn’t a big deal to let the boys use it.

Not only were Wang Jinyang, Yang Ji, Yi Junzhong and Li Xiaoyan familiar with Director Feng now, they had also become familiar with the other police officers. Unlike their adverse reactions before at the mention of the police, they felt that both Director Feng and the police here were very friendly.

They really did serve the people, and weren’t the slightest bit impatient with them.

With a private room to talk, the group relaxed a little. Still, when they saw Huang Chong suddenly come to see them, they thought that something had happened, so they immediately questioned him.

There was no one else in the reception room. Huang Chong relaxed a lot and immediately said that he was fine and had just come to see them.

Only then did Wang Jinyang, Yang Ji, Yi Junzhong and Li Xiaoyan relax. However, after learning Yuan Yuan’s true colors a few days ago, Wang Jinyang and the others wanted to say something, but hesitated. They wanted Huang Chong to join them here, but when they thought about how Huang Chong had been very close to Yuan Yuan lately, and had instead distanced himself from them, their gazes were especially complicated. They were afraid that revealing too much would alert Yuan Yuan.

Moreover, in the end, everyone made their own choices. They weren’t surprised that Huang Chong chose to trust Yuan Yuan.

It was just that Yuan Yuan had a lot to do with Liling’s death; it could even be said that Yuan Yuan was the one who had indirectly killed Liling, and the deaths of Lin Dong and Gu Guobin might also have something to do with Yuan Yuan.

Given Yuan Yuan’s ruthless nature, they didn’t believe that Huang Chong could curry favor with Yuan Yuan unless he was of some use to Yuan Yuan.

If he was worthless, Huang Chong would probably be crippled, or worse.

Huang Chong was also quite sensitive and vaguely sensed the complicated gazes of the others. There was some puzzlement in his eyes, and he couldn’t help but say, “What’s wrong? Why do I feel that there’s something wrong with the way you’re looking at me? But it’s good that everyone is fine! If you really have something to say to me, don’t hide it. Just say it.”

The others felt even more conflicted when they heard Huang Chong’s words. Not long ago, when nothing had happened, everyone had a very good relationship. If there was anything they needed, they could just give each other a call. They didn’t keep secrets and were especially open.

Yang Ji couldn’t help but probe, “Huang Chong, how… how are you getting along with Yuan Yuan?”

Huang Chong suddenly thought of Yuan Yuan, who had gotten angry at him and Chai Qing last night, and his face couldn’t help but turn a little stiff. He had been willing to follow Yuan Yuan partly because he wanted to protect his life, but also because he felt that his friend was more reliable.

In the past, Yuan Yuan had acted more like friends with him and Chai Qing, but now, she was acting like a master would toward a servant. She had gradually adopted a commanding tone with them, which was very uncomfortable.

Chai Qing had no bottom line, but Huang Chon had his pride and felt very uncomfortable.

But in the end, it wasn’t good for a man to badmouth a woman. Huang Chong hesitated for a moment before he shook his head. “I’m fine, I’m fine!”

Wang Jinyang and Yi Junzhong really believed him and immediately said, “That’s good!”

Only Yang Ji and Li Xiaoyan were sensitive enough to see Huang Chong’s hesitation. Their hearts sank, but they didn’t say anything.

They didn’t linger in the reception room for long. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Huang Chong was about to leave. Before Huang Chong left, Yang Ji couldn’t help but say, “Huang Chong, something still happened to Lin Dong and Liling even with Yuan Yuan around. You might not necessarily be fine if you stay with Yuan Yuan. On the contrary, here at the police station, there are people who will specially protect us wherever we go. Why don’t you stay with us?”

Without waiting for Huang Chong to refuse, Yang Ji continued, “And to be honest, Master Chi is really capable, unlike Yuan Yuan.” At this point, Yang Ji actually wanted to say that the Yuan woman wasn’t even worthy to carry Master Chi’s shoes. However, Huang Chong and Yuan Yuan were close, so he couldn’t deliberately insult Yuan Yuan in front of Huang Chong. After a pause, he continued, “Don’t just look at how young Master Chi seems. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the rest!”

Wang Jinyang, Yi Junzhong, and Li Xiaoyan immediately nodded hurriedly. Given how accurate Master Chi’s divination about Mingcheng had been, they now firmly believed in Master Chi’s abilities and hoped that Huang Chong would also trust her.

It wasn’t that Huang Chong wasn’t moved by Yang Ji’s words, and he hesitated. True, his relationship with Chai Qing was getting worse and worse, and he couldn’t stand her. Huang Chong was about to respond, when his phone rang in his pocket. He immediately picked up the call. Yuan Yuan’s familiar voice rang out on the other end as she asked when he would be back. She had something to say to him, and she apologized for losing her temper last night. The other party sounded quite sincere.

Huang Chong’s heart subconsciously softened and the hesitation in his eyes disappeared. He immediately replied, “I’m free now, Sister Yuan. I’m going back now!”

After saying a few more words, he hung up. He looked at Yang Ji and the others awkwardly and tactfully declined their offer.

Yang Ji and the others didn’t say anything, but Yi Junzhong couldn’t help but frown and suddenly ask, “Huang Chong, do you have a good impression of that Yuan woman?”

Huang Chong felt so guilty that he directly ignored Yi Junzhong’s distant way of addressing Yuan Yuan, and immediately said, “It’s fine, it’s fine. Actually, I came today to see if Yang Ji is okay. It’s good that he’s alright. I have something urgent to attend to, so I’ll go back first.”

As if afraid that the others would ask more questions, Huang Chong stood up and was about to leave immediately. Who knew if it was because he was in a hurry, but he tripped over the chair and hit the floor with a loud bang. Huang Chong was a little unlucky. When the chair also toppled over, the back of the chair hit his right arm hard. Huang Chong groaned in pain and thought that he was too unlucky today; he had almost been hit by a car twice on his way over earlier.

Now, he could still be hit by the back of a chair and hurt his arm. For some reason, his right eyelid had been twitching rapidly ever since he came out.

Huang Chong felt that he was probably thinking too much. On the side, Wang Jinyang, Yang Ji and the others were also alarmed by the loud bang of the chair. Yi Junzhong looked at Huang Chong’s arm. Fortunately, it was nothing serious.

Huang Chong couldn’t help but tease, “A person is unlucky enough sometimes that cold water can even get stuck between their teeth. Look at how unlucky I am today.” Seeing that Wang Jinyang and the others were still staring seriously at his arm, he hurriedly said, “It’s fine, I’m really alright!”

The latter half of his sentence was drowned out by the sound of construction outside. Huang Chong looked in the direction of the sound in confusion. Yi Junzhong seemed to see his curiosity and immediately explained loudly, “There’s construction happening on an underground pipeline less than ten meters away from the police station. There are no buses on that road. If you want to go back, take a taxi or take a detour. Be careful!”

Wang Jinyang added loudly, “Junzhong, that road under construction is blocked off, but you should still be able to walk through; it’s just that the road is a little narrow. Besides, Huang Chong came over on his own just now. He must know that the road is blocked off!”

In fact, Huang Chong really didn’t know. He had taken a taxi here earlier, and there had been no need to take that road. Huang Chong didn’t think much of it. In any case, when he went back later, he could just take another taxi. The underground pipeline was on the other side, and had nothing to do with him.

“I understand!” Huang Chong remembered Yuan Yuan calling him about an urgent matter. When his arm no longer hurt, he excused himself.

Li Xiaoyan picked up the chair and said goodbye to Huang Chong.

Wang Jinyang and the others thought about it and finally decided to see him off.

Who knew if Huang Chong was really unlucky today, but when he left the police station, he suddenly tripped at the entrance and fell to the ground. His palms bled and he grimaced in pain. Wang Jinyang, Yang Ji, Yi Junzhong and Li Xiaoyan were speechless and hurriedly helped him up.

“It’s fine, I’m fine, I’m really fine!” Huang Chong gritted his teeth and got to his feet. On the side, Wang Jinyang saw that his palms were bleeding and couldn’t help but laugh and tease, “Huang Chong, your injuries aren’t implying that you’ll suffer a bloody calamity today, right?”

“Get lost!” Huang Chong replied with a smile.
