However, some things he really didn’t know how to tell Grandpa.
"You..." Elder Mu found that after half a day of talking, he still couldn’t get through, and a breath was stuck in his chest, feeling very uncomfortable.
"Grandpa..." Mu Ying was startled, quickly went over to support him and help him catch his breath.
At this moment, the bracelet on Elder Mu’s left hand emitted a faint white light, which surged up his arm and gathered into a fist-sized white orb at his chest.
The white orb split into several streams, flowing through the Extraordinary Meridians to various parts of Elder Mu’s body.
Of course, ordinary people couldn’t see this white light.
Immediately, Elder Mu felt the blockage in his heart disappear, and even felt particularly comfortable.
"Grandpa, how are you? Do you need a doctor?"
"No need, I’m fine." Elder Mu touched his chest, puzzled. He had clearly felt uncomfortable there just now, so why did it feel fine now?
His peripheral vision caught the bracelet on his left hand, and he suddenly thought of something.
"When will your dad be back?" Elder Mu no longer mentioned his health, but asked.
"Dad said, when he’s done with this period’s work..."
Mu Ying hadn’t finished when Elder Mu laughed: "Done with this period’s work? He doesn’t even know how many times he’s used that excuse, has he ever come back? Alright, don’t say anything. I don’t want to hear it. Anyway, I can’t manage you father and son, do as you please."
"Grandpa..." Mu Ying wanted to say something, but unfortunately, Elder Mu didn’t want to hear it anymore, waved his hand, and let him leave the study.
Mu Ying looked very sad.
The night grew deeper and deeper.
Because of recent events involving Murong and Yan Shao, the Mu family’s business was affected. After Elder Mu’s birthday banquet, those suppliers all came looking for them, and with everything piling up, Mu Qing, the future heir of the Mu family, was a bit overwhelmed.
This busyness went on until midnight, he stretched, picked up his coffee cup only to find it was already empty.
At this time, his assistant had already left work, so he could only fetch the coffee himself.
Just as he stood up, he found a shadow at his office door.
Mu Qing’s heart skipped a beat. He saw a woman in a red dress, her figure graceful and charming, long black hair fell behind her, bare jade shoulders, a smooth neck, a sharp chin, and a captivating beauty face.
Although she didn’t look much like Feifei, her whole being exuded the same kind of allure, making a man’s heart stir restlessly.
"Who are you?" Mu Qing guessed her identity the moment he saw her.
[Where is Feifei?] She asked straightforwardly, straight to the point.
"Are you Feifei’s friend?"
[Yes. My name is Huhu.]
Nervous Mu Qing relaxed: "Do you want to come in and sit? Feifei is not here now."
[Aren’t you afraid of me?]
"Feifei wouldn’t harm me, I believe its friend wouldn’t harm me either." Mu Qing smiled, clearly a man in love.
[We are all female ghosts, you actually trust ghosts?] Huhu seemed a bit surprised.
"I believe not all ghosts are bad, just like humans, not all people are good."
[But humans often believe that anything not of their kind must be of a different heart.] Huhu floated in accurately and sat down on the guest sofa in Mu Qing’s office.
"I don’t know how to entertain you, should I light some incense?" Mu Qing followed his plan and poured himself a cup of coffee.
[Do you have that in your office?] Huhu laughed. Her smile was beautiful and full of feminine charm, if it weren’t known she was a ghost, one might be enchanted by her.
Mu Qing laughed: "Feifei sometimes comes with me to the office, prepared it specially for it."
Mu Qing shook his head: "Don’t know, a few days ago it said it had something to attend to, hasn’t come back until now. Did something happen that you’re looking for it?"
Saying this, he looked at her with a puzzled face.
Actually, Mu Qing was quite nervous. Even though Aunt Grandma said Feifei’s death was mostly not his fault, he tried to pretend as if he didn’t know.
But he was still worried, what if it got discovered?
However, he had Aunt Grandma’s Amulet and Peace Jade, there shouldn’t be any issues, right?
[Do you really know nothing?] Huhu asked tentatively.
Mu Qing looked calm: "Know what? Did something happen to Feifei? Don’t hide it from me, if something really happened, I hope I can help."
"What?!" Mu Qing was shocked, he quickly stood up, anxiously asking, "What happened? How could Feifei go missing?"
Huhu shook her head: [If I knew, I wouldn’t have come to ask you. Before Feifei left, did it say anything?]
"Say anything?" Mu Qing began to recall, "Those few days seemed no different from usual, I had to go out for a bit, originally wanted to take it with me, but it said it had something to do and might be gone for a few days."
At this point, he seemed a bit helpless, "I don’t know what kind of things you usually have, it leaves at this time every day, I’m used to it. So that day, I didn’t ask."
[Is it convenient to say what you were up to that day after work?]
"My cousin called me asking for a favor. It turned out she was introducing a young elder from the family to me. In our families, it’s normal not to recognize everyone, unless there’s regular interaction, otherwise, even if we met on the street, we wouldn’t know each other," Mu Qing said, then asked her, if there are any clues about Feifei, if she needed his help. Let him know, regardless, Feifei was his girlfriend.
[Rest assured, if I need you, I won’t hesitate.]
"That’s good, that’s reassuring. Feifei it..." Mu Qing showed a bit of uncertainty about whether he should ask, "is it alright?"
Originally, being Feifei’s boyfriend, he should know about this, but Feifei’s situation was special; it was a ghost, not a human.
Mu Qing, not being a ghost, didn’t understand what kind of situations Feifei as a ghost might encounter.
Huhu shook her head, not giving him a definite answer: [It’s hard to say! As you know, we are female ghosts, many ordinary people are afraid of us, and the strange view capturing us as an achievement. Between us sisters, to avoid accidents, none of the sisters know, made a rule to contact at least every three days. Now, it’s been over three days, Feifei hasn’t contacted us.]
"Then based on your past experiences, has something happened to Feifei?"
