My Ghostly Romance - Chapter 26
After closing the door behind him, Kaisar sent a text message to Lu He Yan before going downstairs.
At this moment, Lu He Yan just stepped out of the OR and took scrub off his body. He just spent 5 hours inside the operating room for a patient who was suffering from a brain tumor. Thankfully, the tumor wasn’t that big and the surgery ended successfully.
When he returned to his office on the fifth floor of the hospital, his phone chimed. He reached out for it and saw that it was his best friend who sent the message. He happily opened the message box, not knowing that it was a threat message.
Kaisar: [“I cleared your schedule for tomorrow so take a quick trip to Siberian Sea and enjoy the cold breeze.”]
“Hm?” Lu He Yan’s smile stiffened as soon as he saw the words written on the screen. It took him a few seconds and a few glances to comprehend what it meant.
When he finally snapped out of his trance, he jumped in fright and directly called the other party.
Unfortunately, the other party didn’t answer his call and screened it.
‘Bro, aren’t you being too mean?’ Lu He Yan was all tears as he knew he couldn’t avoid going to the Siberian Sea tomorrow. It was just that, he didn’t know what he did wrong for a certain detective to send him there.
If only Lu He Yan could escape this punishment, he would have already. Sadly, he made a lot of past mistakes and he could only listen to Kaisar and act like his subordinate rather than his best friend in certain situations. Situations like this one.
…
While the doctor was crying his hearts out for being thrown to a cold place while not knowing what he had done wrong, Yang Mi remained inside the penthouse.
What happened this morning between her and Kaisar was already at the back of her mind. Even the toys were forgotten by her as she stared out the window.
Her eyebrows creased and her face tightened as she continued to look out the window.
Despite her spiritual energy gone now, she could still feel the faint presence of spirits surrounding the boundary that she erected when she came to this city. Since she came to City A, she treated it as her territory, she had to use her own energy to erect a powerful boundary and push back any forces that intended to get in without her permission.
However, because of what happened to her. The boundary that she created weakened and threatened to be pierced through by other malicious spirits who thought that she no longer wanted this city as her territory.
There would be no problem if the spirits who wished to pass through her territory had no evil intentions. However, if they came here to wreck havoc and create a mess in the city while she’s weakened, she cannot promise to protect the other spirits who originally lived there.
Faced with this problem, Yang Mi had no idea what to do. If she still possessed her spiritual energy, she might be able to create another barrier but that damn system rendered her useless and weak now.
As she was thinking, a knock could be heard from her door.
Auntie Wu’s slightly muffled voice sounded behind the closed door, “Miss Yang, I’m going out for a little bit. Do you have anything you want me to buy for you?”
Yang Mi paused a little bit and sighed. She walked to the door and opened it for the old housekeeper, only to see her holding a brown envelope in her hand, “Aunt Wu, I don’t want anything. But can I come with you?”
Auntie Wu blinked, “Of course you can. But is it alright for you already to go out?” Since Yang Mi was hospitalized after being shot in the chest, Auntie Wu hesitated. She didn’t want anything bad to happen to this beautiful young lady.
Yang Mi nodded her head. And with a smile on her lips, she said, “Don’t worry, Aunt Wu. I am alright. I just felt a little stuffy being inside the house for too long so I want to go out to take a breather.”
“Alright.” Auntie Wu brought Yang Mi outside. She believed what the young lady told her but in truth, Yang Mi wasn’t only planning to smell the fresh air outside. She also planned to look around the area to see if she could understand what the hell was going on around the city while she was in this state.
Outside the condominium complex, two women, old and young, but both carried a charm that made everyone they passed by give them a few more glances. They were too eye-catching as one was an old lady with a unique presence of an old strict lady from a rich family, while on the other hand, the young lady was a beauty no one could take their eyes off.
Anyone who saw them would think that they came from a wealthy and prominent family.
“Gosh. Is there a drama shooting around here?” A passerby said to the man beside her.
The man beside her shrugged his shoulder while not taking his eyes off the young lady who just walked passed them, “I don’t know. Maybe she’s an actress or a model. Do you think I can ask for an autograph from her if I ask her?”
“You wish!” Another man said and scoffed at him. “Do you think I will just let you go there and ruin the beautiful scene! Scram!”
The man earlier was shocked at the sudden outburst of the other man and pouted dejectedly.
While everyone was admiring the beautiful scene before them, Yang Mi suddenly became curious about what the old housekeeper was carrying, “Auntie Wu. What is inside that bag in your hand?”
Aside from the brown envelope, the old housekeeper held a plain black bag used to keep lunch boxes inside.
“Ah, this? This is for the young master’s lunch.” Auntie Wu smiled. “He usually skips lunch and madam wants me to make sure that he would eat something. But the young master forgot to bring it with him so I had to go to his workplace to give it to him.”
“Really? But doesn’t he always appear on time when we eat?”
Yang Mi was confused. When she was still in her ghost form, the man didn’t skip his meals and arrived on time.. He would even take his time chewing his food while she watched him eat and drool at the same time.
