What that should be asked had been asked. Lin Wu then let Xiao Qin go back.

He didn’t know why, but he felt that Xiao Qin’s attitude toward him seemed to be special compared to others.

Although Xiao Qin said that she wasn’t his friend nor his wife, the way she kidded around with him and spoke with ease was clearly a habit that developed from having known each other for many years.

On the contrary, Xiao Qin’s attitude toward Li Luyao was a lot more calmer, not even giving her much smiles. It could be said to be a little aloof.

However, since Xiao Qin was unwilling to say, then Lin Wu didn’t probe too much into it.

After Xiao Qin left, Lin Wu put the household register back to its original spot and then headed downstairs with Li Luyao.

“Lin Wu, wait a minute.”

Before they got out of the lift, Li Luyao suddenly called out to Lin Wu.

“What’s the matter?” Lin Wu turned to look at her.

Li Luyao put out her hand and took his. Wearing a pleading look on her face, she bit her lips and spoke in a soft voice, “Lin Wu, can I ask something from you?”

Lin Wu looked at her and asked, “Is it about your cousin?”

“En…” Li Luyao nodded gently, then sighed and said, “If my cousin was the cause for Pei Jianing’s accident, then Pei Jianing would probably kill my cousin in order to resolve her resentment, right?”

“Maybe.” Lin Wu nodded.

“I know that this is my cousin’s fault, but I really can’t watch her getting killed by a malicious ghost. It’s fine even if she has to go to jail or to spend money to compensate Pei Jianing’s family. I’d like to ask you to help me intercede with her, to get her to not take my cousin’s life,” Li Luyao pleaded.

She knew that this was a little unfair to Lin Wu. If Pei Jianing’s resentment aura couldn’t be resolved, then Pei Jianing would be unable to leave that car and was unable to protect Lin Wu.

This meant that for a very long time, Lin Wu would probably have to live in the car to ensure his safety.

Lin Wu fell silent for a moment before suddenly asking, “Are you very close with your cousin?”

“En.” Li Luyao bit her lips and nodded gently.

Lin Wu leaned against the lift’s door then asked, “Then how is the financial situation of your cousin’s family? Did her heart ache when she compensated you with the car?”

Although Li Luyao found it a little strange as to why he was asking this, she still nodded and said, “Her family’s financial situation isn’t as good as mine, but it isn’t bad. She shouldn’t feel any heartache to compensate me with a car that’s only worth $200,000. She accidentally smashed my car and wanted to buy me a new one, but I didn’t want that. That’s why she gave me this Mazda.”

Lin Wu seemed to be in thought, nodding. He then asked, “Then your cousin went overseas to travel because she had a breakup, right? ”

Li Luyao sighed. “I know that the breakup might be an excuse. She should have gone overseas to relieve her worries because she had knocked down and killed someone.”

“That doesn’t seem right then.”

Lin Wu shook his head slightly, stroking his lips with the tip of his finger. He said, “From a psychological perspective, once someone knocked down and killed a person, regardless if it was an accident or not, it’d definitely leave behind a trauma. How would she dare to go out under such a situation? Isn’t she scared of retribution and that she’d also get knocked down by a car?”

Li Luyao’s eyes lit up, and she couldn’t help but ask, “You’re saying that my cousin might not be the one to kill her?”

Lin Wu looked at her. “That’s just a possibility. After all, this is just the psychological perspective for most people. It might not be the case for your cousin.”

Li Luyao couldn’t help but fall silent. That was right. This was just a guess after all.

“However, there’s something that I find very strange.” Lin Wu gave it some thought before suddenly saying, “Since you’re very close with your cousin, and she’s very rich and doesn’t care for just a car, do you think that she would give you a car that had killed someone before?”

Li Luyao was slightly stunned, and her beautiful eyes lit up. She said, feeling a little agitated, “You’re saying… that my cousin might not know that her car had knocked down someone before?”

Lin Wu nodded, then smiled and said, “This is just my guess.”

However, Li Luyao shook her head, feeling a little delighted as she said, “No, after you said these, I also realized that some things are strange. My cousin doesn’t like red, and I have no idea where she bought this car from.”

“That’s why I suspect that there was another car owner before your cousin, and that person might have been the one who had knocked down and killed Pei Jianing,” Lin Wu said softly.

“That’s it. That must be it.”

Li Luyao wore a delighted expression on her beautiful face. She couldn’t help but look at Lin Wu warmly. “Lin Wu, thank you. If it wasn’t because you’re meticulous, I wouldn’t have thought of this.”

Lin Wu shook his head and smiled. “It’s just that the people involved in a situation won’t be able to see the matter as clearly. Weren’t you also the one who had reminded me that I’d need to resolve those malicious ghosts’ resentment?”

“En…” Li Luyao suddenly took a step forward and hugged Lin Wu. She embraced him intimately, and then said softly next to his ear, “I’m really very thankful.”

Lin Wu’s ear felt a little itchy from her breath. He held back the impulse of putting his hands to her waist, taking a further step forward. He coughed and said, “You should call your cousin first to ask about the previous car owner.”

“En, alright.” Li Luyao let go of him, took out her phone, and quickly dialed her cousin’s number.

After a short moment, Li Luyao said a little helplessly, “My cousin is overseas. It’s late at night over there now, and she should be deep asleep. Her phone is probably also in silent mode.”

“Then you can ask when she calls you back.” Lin Wu was in no hurry.

Li Luyao put her phone away, nodded, and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll help you to resolve Pei Jianing’s resentment as soon as possible.”

“En, get in the car.”

Lin Wu smiled, appearing very calm.

He wasn’t very worried. One reason was that he could just live in the car. Another reason was that he still had a ghost reader.

That ghost reader’s obsession seemed to be his book. If some danger that might cause him to be unable to post new releases were to appear, that reader would probably do something, right?

Both of them got into the car.

This time around, Li Luyao didn’t drive. Instead, she let Lin Wu take the driver’s seat. This car had been gifted to him anyway, so it was good to let him get used to it earlier.

Lin Wu touched the steering wheel and suddenly said, “Pei Jianing, this car is mine from now on. Aren’t you going to come out and meet me?”

However, there were still no reactions in the car.

“I know that you’re a reincarnator, and you might already understand me very well.” Lin Wu then said, “The person who knocked you down still hasn’t gotten their punishment, right? Since we’re already married, I want to help you. Can you come out and meet me?

There was still no reaction.

Seeing that, Li Luyao couldn’t help but speak up, “Forget it, Lin Wu. I’ll get someone to check on her case first. Maybe she’d be willing to come out and meet you after her enemy gets punished.”

“En.” Lin Wu nodded. “Alright. Where are we going now?”

“You can come home with me,” Li Luyao said, “After I go back, I’ll get my dad to help me check on Pei Jianing’s case. Moreover, I also need to tell my family to not collect antiques from now on.”

“This… I don’t have to go back with you, right?” Lin Wu coughed, feeling a little cowardly.

Li Luyao was smiling in her heart, but still put on a serious expression. “I’ve already gone to your home to meet your parents. You aren’t going back to mine?”

“Next time…”

Lin Wu scratched his head. “Wait until we uncontrollably embrace each other. Or even better, wait until you become pregnant. In case your family doesn’t agree, we’ll just make it a done deal.”

“Pui! You hooligan…”
