Underworld Chat Group: My Hubby is King Hades - Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Set Apart for Ten Years, By The Living And The Dead! (48)

Zhang Xiao felt very embarrassed by Zhang Yunshu’s words. “Yunshu, get up first. We’ll think of a solution.”

Zhang Xiao examined the corpse discovered last night. Many in the police station said it to be the murder by a red-dressed female ghost.

Some even applied for leave of absence because of fear.

She was back.

The residents of Zhang Clan Town all knew she was back.

Zhang Xiao stayed up for the whole night. His thoughts kept lingering on Li Yan’s affair.

Was she really back?

Why was she unwilling to appear and meet him?

“Brother Xiao,” interrupted Zhang Yunshu, breaking Zhang Xiao’s train of thoughts. “I don’t know what happened between you and her back then, but I know that the one whom Cousin truly liked was you. She doesn’t like the city-man. It was he who bullied and harmed her!”

“What’re you talking about?”

Hearing Zhang Yunshu’s words, Zhang Xiao’s expression changed dramatically. His eyes widened as he looked at Zhang Yunshu with excitement and eagerness and said, “You’ve met her, haven’t you? What did she tell you?”

Zhang Xiao pulled Zhang Yunshu up from the floor and shook her shoulders forcefully.

“Old Brother Zhang.”

At that instant, Wang Nianping suddenly rushed in and pulled Zhang Xiao’s hand away. “Old Brother, don’t be so agitated. We can slowly talk things out.”

“Yes, everyone just wants to solve the problem.”

Ning Huanxin also went in to hold Zhang Yunshu, supporting her.

“Miss. Ning.”

Although Zhang Yunshu harbored much disdain toward people from the film crew, she was at peace with Ning Huanxin.

“Bai Yunzi had gone to find the Patriarch. Old Brother Zhang, there’s actually more to what happened back then.” Ning Huanxin described what she knew and also kept forward her guesses. Thereafter, Zhang Xiao slumped to a side, crestfallen.

Wang Nianping widened his eyes in disbelief. The storyline was like a mountain road twisted around each new peak, too bewildering!

He did not expect Zhang Clan Town to have such a history.

“It’s me, it’s me.”

At the moment, Zhang Xiao could not help but reproach himself. “If I didn’t bring Feng Yuan to the mountainside, none of this would have happened. Li Yan would not have died, and Li Clan Village would not have met its demise. All sins originated from me. It was all because of me!”

“Old Brother Zhang.”

Seeing the wrinkled and tear-stricken face of Zhang Xiao, Wang Nianping could not help but go up and pat on his shoulder, sighing as he did so. “This is how life is, and there will be a lot of unexpected events. Don’t pin all the blame on yourself.”

Wang Nianping was also still affected by the decision he made.

However, what had happened was already done. Perhaps what they could do then was to salvage the situation?

“At night, Taoist Master may subdue Li Yan’s spirit. Old Brother Zhang can go with us, and perhaps he may move Li Yan. Then, a religious ceremony can be performed to help her soul find peace and let her reincarnate?”

“Okay, I’ll go. I’ll be there to see Li Yan one last time, I will.”

Zhang Xiao’s eyes shone with determination.—

Twenty-odd years.

Ah Yan, we are finally meeting again.

Seeing the complex emotions and nervousness in Zhang Xiao’s eyes, Ning Huanxin could not help but ask softly. “It’s still early. Old Brother Zhang, why don’t you buy some clothes and style your hair?”

All these years, Zhang Xiao had been alone. He went from a dashing young man to a wrinkled drunkard today.

At that instant, he was indeed jittery. The thought of seeing Li Yan was nerve-racking.

As for Ning Huanxin, she had hit the bull’s eye with her advice. He really wanted to see her in his best state.

That might be the last chance in his living years…
