Chapter 309: Pregnant with a Ghost’s Child!
Chapter 309: Pregnant with a Ghost’s Child!
From the reactions of these two middle-aged men, Huang Xiaolong’s words struck them hard in their hearts, hitting where it hurts most!
“Indeed… Indeed, heroes are born from young men…” The middle-aged man in the lead, his expression inadvertently becoming somewhat evasive, said to Huang Xiaolong. “My name is ‘Fang Shijie’, this time, I troubled Mr. Huang.”
“Oh… Fang Shijie? That’s a good name.” Huang Xiaolong replied indifferently.
“Huh?” The two middle-aged men exchanged glances, their hearts filled with confusion. This young man in front of them didn’t recognize the name “Fang Shijie”…
Is he not a local from Binhai?
In fact, Huang Xiaolong wasn’t pretending, he didn’t need to, he genuinely did not know who “Fang Shijie” was.
Seeing his reaction, Fang Shijie gave his follower a look, signaling him to not say much.
Since Huang Xiaolong didn’t know who he was, it’s better for everyone to stay ignorant and not to bring it up again!
“Mr. Huang, may I come into your home?” Fang Shijie asked with a smile.
“Whatever.” Huang Xiaolong shrugged his shoulders indifferently, guiding Fang Shijie and his follower into his house.
The living room.
The three of them sat on the sofa.
“What’s the matter? Speak straight.” Huang Xiaolong cut to the chase.
Inside Huang Xiaolong’s home where the walls have no ears, Fang Shijie finally let out what had been bothering him. “Mr. Huang, to be honest, my daughter is having some problems. Over the past month… she has changed drastically. Especially after sunset, she does things that are extremely bizarre and unthinkable. Like… Like… there was once… I… I saw it with my own eyes, she… she caught a cockroach in the kitchen and then… put it in her mouth…”
“Eating a cockroach?” Huang Xiaolong was startled.
Fang Shijie was greatly distressed. “She often talks to herself, uttering nonsensical things, claiming she wants to find her dad… I… I spend time with her every day, I am her biological father, what other dad is she trying to find?”
“Also… this… this…” As he spoke, Fang Shijie seemed a bit embarrassed.
“Stop being evasive. If you want me to solve the problem, then tell me everything.” Huang Xiaolong said with dissatisfaction.
“Alright! In front of Mr. Huang, I won’t care about keeping family disgrace hidden.” Fang Shijie made up his mind. “My wife and I discovered that our daughter’s belly is getting bigger every day…. However, Mr. Huang, don’t get me wrong. My daughter has been brought up very strictly and has a conservative character, she is twenty-two this year and hasn’t had a boyfriend…there’s no way she’s pregnant.”
“Hmm, a woman’s belly becoming larger doesn’t necessarily mean she’s pregnant. I once encountered a girl with a snake in her belly, which was mistaken to be a bastard child.” Huang Xiaolong smirked, recalling Shu Qinghan, “But your daughter, I guess, her case wouldn’t be as simple as carrying a snake. Have you consulted a doctor?”
“Mr. Huang…Because of my peculiar job…so, we haven’t made public my daughter’s strange problems. But I have consulted a famous traditional doctor. He examined her and prescribed some medicine, but there was no improvement, in fact, it’s getting worse…” Fang Shijie looked defeated. “Some people say…my daughter…she…might…might be possessed…”
“That’s certainly possible.” Huang Xiaolong pondered for a moment. “Do you live in this neighborhood too?”
“Yes. Mr. Huang, we are neighbors.” Fang Shijie replied quickly. “Today, I overheard those security guards chatting. They mentioned your heroic actions yesterday, talking about how you found and eradicated the entity that was hidden in the mirror…”
“Mr.… Mr. Fang, those security guys probably exaggerated a bit. I feel like they’re describing it like a fantasy novel… it seems way too bizarre.” The follower mumbled.
“Since we all live in the same neighborhood, it’s convenient. I’ll go with you to see your daughter.” Huang Xiaolong stood up. “However, if you want my help, I will charge a fee.”
“Of course. May I know how much Mr. Huang would like to charge?” Fang Shijie asked.
Huang Xiaolong thought for a moment. “Relax, I charge a reasonable fee, and I wouldn’t cheat anyone. How about 200,000? Preferably in cash.”
“200,000?” The follower looked unhappy.
However, Fang Shijie nodded in agreement. “Fine. Mr. Huang, if you can truly cure my daughter, I would be more than willing to pay you 200,000.”
“That’s good. Take me to your house.” Huang Xiaolong responded with a smile.
Wooing girls, making money, catching ghosts, exorcising evil spirits and fighting bad people… These are the things Huang Xiaolong likes to do.
Earning money doesn’t concern how much, it’s all about the fun of it anyway.
At that moment, the three left Huang Xiaolong’s house and came to another villa in the same community.
The villa was not as large as Huang Xiaolong’s.
The lights inside the villa were blazing brightly.
Standing at the villa’s main entrance, they could sense an ominous, cold air rushing towards them.
Huang Xiaolong, however, did not show any significant reaction.
Fang Shijie, protected by his bureaucratic aura, didn’t feel uncomfortable either.
It was only the attendant who couldn’t help but shiver in the cold.
Fang Shijie explained to Huang Xiaolong, “Mr. Huang, my daughter always feels hot, so, the air conditioning temperature in our house is set quite low.”
“Ha ha ha ~ ~ This sinister aura, you presume it to be the chill from the air conditioning?” Huang Xiaolong shook his head.
Fang Shijie’s home was evidently filled with an eerie spiritual aura!
If a person with a weak constitution lived here for about half a month, they would definitely fall ill!
“Well… Mr. Huang, please come inside… please do.” Fang Shijie invited Huang Xiaolong into his home.
The first floor of the villa.
On the sofa sat a beautiful woman in her forties, whose physique was as youthful as a young girl, but at this moment, she was sighing deeply.
Her eyes were blurred with tears, full of bloodshot. Seeing Fang Shijie bringing Huang Xiaolong into the house, she quickly got up, glanced upstairs and said, “I just coaxed her into taking a few sleeping pills, she should be asleep now.”
As soon as Huang Xiaolong entered the room, he could smell a salty, fishy odor as though it were sea water.
Of course, this smell would not be discernible to normal people.
“Mr. Huang, this is my wife,” Fang Shijie introduced. “Yuqin, this is Mr. Huang that the security guards mentioned. I’ve invited him to see our daughter.”
Mrs. Fang looked at Huang Xiaolong for a few moments, quickly pulled Fang Shijie to the side, and complained, “Old Fang, aren’t you messing things up? What can this young man do? Just now, I… I saw our daughter… she was in the kitchen looking for cockroaches to eat… it was horrifying… Also, the fish and shrimp I bought today, she… she… she ate them raw…”
At her words, Fang Shijie’s face darkened. “Eating fish and shrimp raw? This… our daughter’s illness is getting worse and worse, what’s wrong? I, Fang Shijie, have been honorable all my life, never did anything immoral… why would we have to experience such karma, especially my daughter?”
“By the way, did your daughter visit the nearby seaside bathing beach a month ago?” Huang Xiaolong suddenly asked.
“Eh? Mr…. Mr. Huang, how did you know?” A surprised Mrs. Fang promptly said, “Yes, a month ago, our daughter and her classmates went swimming at the seaside bathing beach, during which… she drowned and was saved by her classmates, it took a few minutes for her to come around… Mr. Huang, are you suggesting that my daughter’s root cause of her illness relates to that incident?”
“She’s on the second floor, right? I’m going up now. Remember, no matter what sound you hear, you must not come up.” Huang Xiaolong said seriously.
“Okay!” Fang Shijie nodded. “But… Mr. Huang, based on your analysis, what exactly is happening to my daughter?”
Huang Xiaolong, heading upstairs, heard Fang Shijie’s question, he nonchalantly replied, “She might be pregnant.”
At his words, Fang Shijie, Mrs. Fang, and the attendant wore a bewildered expression.
“But she’s not carrying a human child. It could be… a ghost’s child.” After finishing his sentence, Huang Xiaolong had already reached the door of a bedroom on the second floor.
He pushed the door and entered.
