Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

At the mention of Yan Liling, Yuan Yuan's expression was sad and uncomfortable, and her words were very emotional. The others were moved and couldn't say anything else. Yang Ji calmly took in Yuan Yuan's uncomfortable expression with a complicated and unsightly expression. If Master Chi hadn't told him the cause of Liling's death last night, he might have really thought that Yuan Yuan cared a lot about her.

The feelings in Yang Ji's heart surged violently at the thought that Yuan Yuan might have been putting on an act all this time and was even using Liling to gain a good reputation. He felt indescribable resentment.

At that moment, he didn't want to ask how he would die. Although Yang Ji was indeed afraid and couldn't help but accept his fate, before he did so, he had to ask Yuan Yuan if she really had something to do with Liling's death, and if she had added fuel to the fire.

It was a pity that Master Chi seemed to read his mind, and advised him to calm down. Yang Ji took a deep breath and immediately shut his mouth.

Seeing Yang Ji shut up, Chi Shuyan relaxed. There was no benefit in bringing up Yan Liling now. Even with Yan Liling's personal assistant as a witness, in the end, there was no real evidence. Yuan YUan could easily clear the air with a few words, and given her skills and schemes, she might even put the blame on Yang Ji.

The most important thing now wasn't to figure out Yan Liling's death, but to figure out how what was happening was related to that Yuan woman. What role did this woman play behind the scenes?

Taking advantage of the silence in the private room, everyone tried to console Yang Ji, but there was some sympathy and fear in their eyes.

Only Chai Qing made up her mind to cozy up to Yuan Yuan no matter what. Moreover, she suspected that what Yuan Yuan said just now about being unable to help Yang Ji was just an excuse, and she hadn't tried her best.

As for Yuan Yuan refusing to do her best to help Yang Ji, Chai Qing had an absurd guess, but she quickly dismissed it. At that moment, Chai Qing finally made up her mind: no matter how good-looking Xia Mingcheng was, not only could she no longer have designs on him, she also had to keep saying that Yuan Yuan and Xia Mingcheng were compatible.

At that moment, Chai Qing was quite glad that her crush on Xia Mingcheng hadn't been too obvious.

This was a rare opportunity to curry favor with Yuan Yuan. Seeing that Yang Ji and the Chi woman were about to leave, Chai Qing immediately took the initiative to criticize Yang Ji on Yuan Yuan's behalf. "Yang Ji, Sister Yuan has said so much, but you haven't said anything in return. What is the meaning of this?

"Sister Yuan was injured in an accident and was in the hospital all this time. As soon as she saw that something would happen to you, she didn't sleep the entire night and was scared awake. She wanted to rush to the police station even before dawn to help you by revealing everything she had foreseen. Sister Yuan has done so much for you, but your attitude is so cold. Don't you have a conscience?"

Chai Qing babbled non-stop. Her words sounded reasonable on the surface, but if one listened carefully, they didn't sound right. Besides, Yuan Yuan hadn't said anything. What right did Chai Qing have to get angry at Yang Ji?

Wang Jinyang, Xia Mingcheng, Yi Junzhong, Li Xiaoyan and even Huang Chong couldn't help but frown. Chi Shuyan glanced coldly at Chai Qing, then at the Yuan woman, who didn't plan to stop Chai Qing. Instead, she pretended to be a good person after Chai Qing rebuked Yang Ji, and said, "Okay, Chai Qing, stop talking. It's my fault for not being able to help Yang Ji."

After a pause, Yuan Yuan looked at Yang Ji and continued, "Yang Ji, can I talk to you alone?"

Chi Shuyan automatically dismissed the Yuan woman's words and looked annoyed. Speaking of which, she didn't have a good impression of the Yuan woman and Chai Qing. The former was too scheming, while the latter was too stupid when she liked to think she was smart. She even acted like she was the smart one and treated everyone as fools, unaware that she had long become someone else's gun.

Moreover, she was really fed up with this Chai woman's behavior of stirring up trouble every time. She immediately couldn't help but retort, "Miss Chai, you can't speak nonsense. You say that Yang Ji has no conscience, but what about you? Why don't you take out your heart and let me see if it's black?"

Seeing that Chai Qing's face was stiff and red, Chi Shuyan continued to attack ruthlessly. "Miss Yuan, just because Yang Ji didn't say anything doesn't mean that he isn't grateful in his heart. Miss Chai, this isn't how you curry favor with others. By the way, let me advise you not to take yourself too seriously!"

Chi Shuyan's acidic words rendered Chai Qing speechless and made her so ashamed that she couldn't show her face. Her face burned with pain, especially in front of Xia Mingcheng. Chai Qing had never felt so humiliated. It was as if the Chi woman was stepping on her face, grinding down hard until it hurt.

This was the first time in her life that she had been so humiliated, and it was in front of Brother Xia.

The more Chai Qing thought about it, the angrier she became. Her eyes turned red and her whole body trembled. She almost broke a few of her nails. She glared at Chi Shuyan with hatred, as if she wanted to remember Chi Shuyan forever and get revenge.

When they saw Chai Qing wilt, Wang Jinyang, Yi Junzhong, Xia Mingcheng and the others couldn't help but sigh at Master Chi's combat power. Yang Ji was shocked. He had always thought that Master Chi had a particularly good temper, and he didn't expect her to lose it on his behalf. Yang Ji had no doubts and was utterly grateful toward Master Chi. She now also felt more down-to-earth to him, and the reverence in his chest lessened a little, making him more willing to get close to her and believe her.

Chi Shuyan didn't plan to let the other party off at all, nor did she think much of them. She even took a special look at Yuan Yuan and deliberately asked, "Miss Yuan, do you think what I said makes sense?"

Yuan Yuan looked embarrassed. She wanted to nod, but she also wanted to give Chai Qing face. After all, Chai Qing was speaking up for her. If she shook her head, however, her words just now to win people over would seem fake, so Yuan Yuan could only grit her teeth and nod stiffly. "Miss Chi is right!"

As soon as Yuan Yuan said that, Chai Qing couldn't stay any longer and rushed out of the private room. What Yuan Yuan had to do was more important now, and she didn't want to ignore it over Chai Qing. Yuan Yuan retracted her gaze and repeated, "Yang Ji, I have something important to discuss with you alone, okay?"

Without waiting for Yang Ji to speak, Chi Shuyan declined the invitation on his behalf. "Miss Yuan, I'm afraid Yang Ji has other things to do and doesn't have time!"

Chi Shuyan pushed her away, and Yuan Yuan panicked. Her right eyelid had been twitching ever since she woke up from her nightmare, and she felt very uneasy.

At that moment, her eyes were no longer as gentle and approachable as before. Her eyes were manic, and they seemed to be filled with urgency, impatience and fear. Chi Shuyan took in the other party's complicated expression. Her eyes flashed, and she heard Yuan Yuan speak again in a much more anxious tone. "Yang Ji, I really have something serious to talk to you about. I want to talk to you alone. This is very important. You have to cooperate with me!"

Yuan Yuan's tone couldn't be said to be good. It was filled with impatience and even a bit of arrogance. The others felt uncomfortable listening to her, to say nothing of Yang Ji.

However, Yang Ji was a little curious. He was about to agree, when Chi Shuyan refused again. "Sorry, Miss Yuan, Yang Ji will be leaving with me soon. I'm afraid he won't have time to speak with you alone."

Was this woman ruining things again?

Yuan Yuan was so angry that she almost flipped the table. A sinister glint flashed in her eyes as she looked at the other party with a completely unfriendly and ruthless expression.

Feng Yuanlin wanted to persuade Shuyan to agree at first. After all, what Yuan Yuan said to Yang Ji could be a clue. However, he quickly sensed that this Yuan woman was acting strangely, and her words didn't match her behavior at all. Also, this woman had been in a hurry to see Yang Ji today and wanted to be alone with him. He didn't believe that she had no other motive at all.

Feng Yuanlin and Shuyan secretly looked at each other, and Feng Yuanlin caught on to Shuyan's plan.

The Yuan woman was turned down several times, but she didn't give up. She seemed to sense that her mood had been a little manic and abnormal just now. Afraid that the others would sense the abnormality, her expression quickly returned to normal, though her face was a bit stiff.

This time, she didn't force Yang Ji to talk to her alone, but used his weakness and said, "Yang Ji, I just want to tell you something about Liling. Before she died, she instructed me to say a few words to you. I forgot before, but I just remembered, and I want to tell you what they were!"

Chi Shuyan looked at her in a new light. In terms of manipulating emotions, this woman was an absolute expert. She was an extraordinarily smart schemer who knew how to use a person's weakness.

Sure enough!

At the mention of Yan Liling, Yang Ji immediately agreed. "Alright!"
