The Restless Spirit’s Father - Chapter 345
Strange. It was very strange. He was so sure that he was going to be eaten, and yet he was still there, alive. He then took another look at the child in front of him. He has silky black hair and a rather impassive expression on his face. The child ghost didn’t know what to think of it. It was a demon, and yet it didn’t attack anyone.
Li Feng felt it when Guangru had appeared. He also knew that the child ghost had seen the demon child. He then smiled in Guangru’s direction and said, “Hey, you’re here now. It’s just a greater ghost, so I took care of it. I hope you didn’t need it.”
“It’s fine, Big Brother. It’s weak. Only call me when you found a King.” Guangru didn’t take a look at Li Feng but instead stared at the child ghost. It was as if he was reading the other being’s memories. It was easy for him to know that this certain ghost just wanted his mom to come and pick him up. It was as if he was waiting for her all these years.
Guangru didn’t know what this place was before it’s turned into the driving center; however, this ghost was definitely older than this building. Perhaps his father would be able to help him figure it out.
Guangru turned in Li Feng’s direction. He tried to see if the other was hurt. Since the man was okay, the child reached out his hand and invited Li Feng. “Big Brother, Baba is waiting for us outside. There is someone that I need you to see.” He was smiling, but the smile was ominous.
“Okay,”—Li Feng felt that something was strange in that smile, but he simply decided to dismiss the thoughts—”how about this boy? What are we going to do with him?”
“I don’t know… maybe he wants to come with us.” Guangru smiled, but the child ghost thought that the demon child was inviting him as the dinner for today.
They went outside the driving center and met with Liu Xiaodan and another man. He was tall and had glasses. Most importantly, he had the emblem of the Qiao family. Li Feng knew that this man was an enemy; however, he didn’t know why Liu Xiaodan was meeting with this guy.
“So, are you here for your little brother?” Liu Xiaodan hummed as if he had felt anyone coming closer.
When Liu Xiaodan left Li Feng earlier to speak with the receptionist about any unexplained phenomenon in the area, he noticed that there was a man outside. Since he had been eating people from the Qiao family, he could sense their blood from far away. This man was from the Qiao family, but Liu Xiaodan didn’t know if he was here to cause harm again.
The father tried to ignore it, but Tang Mingming wanted him to take a look. Based on the pitiful gaze of the receptionist from afar, it seemed that this man was actually a regular visitor of the driving center, even if he wasn’t there for a driver’s license.
“I don’t know what you mean. My little brother is gone. He’s been dead for years.” The man figured that something was strange with Liu Xiaodan. It was as if he could tell that Liu Xiaodan was reeking with yin energy.
“I know, but you’re here to visit him, aren’t you?” Those flowers were hard to go unnoticed, and so he made the connection in his mind. Based on Tang Mingming’s conversation with the child earlier, the child didn’t want to leave this place… perhaps because the person that was supposed to pick him up never arrived.
Seeing that the man didn’t answer, Liu Xiaodan could only lower his eyes. He and Guangru had a mental connection, and so he figured out what the child wanted. “How about your mom? Is she still here?”
Seeing that the stranger was also asking about his mother now, the man started to get more defensive as if he was keeping a secret. He took a step back and tried to find a way out. “I don’t know why you’re asking me these questions, but I am not going to tell a stranger about my family.”
“Oh, well, suit yourself.” Liu Xiaodan turned around and took a look at the approaching duo. He carried the child in his arms before regarding the other man. “Let’s go. There’s nothing to see here anymore.”
“But Baba, he wants his mommy. We should give her to him since his older brother is here.” Guangru hummed as he regarded the man that his father was talking to. The impassive look in his eyes was still there as if he didn’t care what happened to the man next.
Li Feng didn’t know what they were talking about until he turned in the direction of the door. He saw the child looking at this other man and muttering ‘I know you’ in a very strange voice. The yin energy in his body started to explode, and it was felt by the four people outside.
“Your little brother is making his presence known.” Liu Xiaodan said, giving a side look at the man with them. He had no idea if the man actually recognized the presence coming from the child. However, he was sure that the Qiao person could see it.
“He’s looking for you… maybe you can tell him that your mom sent you to pick him up. I have a feeling that she’ll never be here.” Liu Xiaodan stood there, unaffected. He was already very strong. This kind of wave could not pose a threat to him. However, it felt like it’s going to be a messy situation.
“What are you talking about?” The man continued to deny what he came there for. Perhaps because he realized who he was talking with to upon seeing the black-haired child. His family had been hunting down this man for a while now; however, they just couldn’t do anything to him because of his ability and friends.
Right now, he might have a chance to do something about it. Then again, it’s not like Liu Xiaodan was left unguarded. After all, the friends didn’t have to be seen just so one could tell that they were there.
Li Feng, however, didn’t care about the other man’s sentiments at the moment. He was more concerned about the transition that the ghost was currently having. It seemed like its power had been repressed all this time; either that or he was triggered by the man’s presence.
Now that Li Feng thought about it, the latter made more sense. If this child was familiar with the man, then the child should have run to him in glee. However, it was reduced to suddenly changing its state from the sheer anger it felt. There was no way the child didn’t think of this man as a hostile figure.
Could it be that this man here was the reason that the child waited here or why the mom could not pick him up?
