The Restless Spirit’s Father - Chapter 358

Just before they could leave the hospital, Liu Xiaodan caught a whiff of a familiar blood scent. It was from the Wu family, so he abruptly stopped and tried to chase the smell. However, with all the scents in the hospital and the fact that the scent was so faint, he quickly lost it. Liu Xiaodan frowned, but Tang Mingming and Yi Junhai jumped out of him in an instant. The transcendent couldn’t track it… but they could.

Seeing that the two ghosts wanted to find the person, he could only turn to the two people with him. “I’m sorry, there’s an emergency. Would you be able to go on without me for today?”

“Baba, we’ll deal with it.” Guangru left as well, and Liu Xiaodan was only left with a sigh. “Erm, never mind. They don’t want me to bother about it.”

“Great, gather Wen Taio and Xu Disung at your house, Ruan Jin. I’m going to tell you something exciting!” Chuan Nayi flashed a smile at the other man who was both stunned and dazed. Even Liu Xiaodan joined in with the urging as well. In the end, Liu Xiaodan left the hospital with the two in his super black Aventador.

However, they were being watched by someone on a higher floor of the hospital. He had his phone on his ear. “Yes, Father. They’re leaving. Worry not about the other matters. I can take care of them.” His eyes then glanced down at his suit jacket. “No one would know I am even here.”

…

Drip. Drip.

The sound of dripping water awakened him from the deep slumber that he was in. Li Feng opened his eyes and saw the darkness that covered him. There was only one source of light, which was that small candle on the table nearby. From its faint illumination, he could see Qiao Shan standing in front of him. His eyes then widened before trying to reach out for her.

However, he quickly realized that he was restrained by leather straps. He was even left in boxers as if making him fend off the cold and rash with nothing else but his skin. With a cloth on his mouth, he couldn’t even speak clearly. “Shanshan! Help me out of this!”

“…awake…” Li Feng heard someone else speak next to him. When his eyes slid to the side and saw another woman in the room. She had a golden hanfu and… a few heads in her arms. It didn’t help that those three heads looked like Li Feng had seen the owners before.

“Hello…” The woman in the golden hanfu side-stepped to get in front of him. Her mouth opened, and her huge round eye stared at him with so much adoration. “So handsome… can’t wait to grow…”

“He really looks like his father.” Qiao Shan finally spoke after a while as the golden-hanfu lady was taking a good look at him. At those words, the golden-hanfu lady excitedly turned to face her. She even spilled a head from her arms, but she ignored it. “Father? Old… Can Yinxia… have father?”

Qiao Shan’s eyes flickered before humming… “Hongfei doesn’t know. We can ask Master.”

Like a drum that suddenly got struck, Li Feng’s heart felt like it was pounded at directly. He then frowned and glared at the two women. “Hongfei… where’s Shanshan?”

“She’s not here,” Qiao Shan answered a bit immediately before reaching out to pet Yingxia’s head. “Yingxia, be good. Hongfei is going to ask for further instructions.” With that, she didn’t even take another look at Li Feng.

“…Yingxia?” Li Feng wetted his mouth and called out in a caring voice as if talking with a child… or at least the way Hongfei had done. However, it only made the demon stare at him strangely. He paused and shuddered before trying to smile through his cloth gag. “Yingxia, can you tell me something? Where are we?”

“…” The woman took steps closer and stared at the eyes of the man. Even if it was dangerous, Li Feng returned her gaze with rather warm eyes. His lack of hostility confused the demon before she looked down and noticed that one of the heads had fallen off. She sat on her ankles and organized the heads on her arms.

As if taking a look at those men made her think of something. She looked up at Li Feng again and stared at the man who seemed to be smiling at her. “Yingxia… have directives…”

“I’m not asking you anything strange then,” Li Feng answered almost immediately before speaking again. “Yingxia, have you known Hongfei for so long? Is she your sister?”

“Hongfei?” Yingxia got to her feet before blinking. “Hongfei, biggest sister. Yingxia likes Hongfei, but… Hongfei is weak. Only good with possession and playing dead…”

Playing dead? They were demons now; how were they supposed to be playing dead? Li Feng hid his frown. Thinking about it again made him remember how Hongfei appeared to be brain dead and was nothing but a demon shell that could be integrated into Qiao Shan’s mind. No wonder she couldn’t take control of it fully; the demon was only pretending!

With a smile again, Li Feng decided to gamble with something. “Do you know that I am a big brother myself? My little siblings will be looking for me. Can you help me?”

“Yingxia doesn’t care.” All of a sudden, Yingxia turned stern and scary. Even her words were spat out quite mercilessly. She then stared at him before holding out a head towards him. “Yingxia has directives! Handsome boy… stays… no movement…”

“You don’t need to release me, Yingxia. You just need to tell me where we are.” Li Feng made a rather sad face at the demon. The woman only stared with her one eye and nodded her head. “Yingxia tells. Big mansion, full of people… men not handsome…” That last line was even spoken in disdain as she seemed to spit at the side.

“The not-handsome men… are they wearing black uniforms?”

“Does handsome boy know not-handsome men?” Yingxia took a look at the restrained man. Why did he know a lot about the not-handsome men? She even tilted her head before she started storing the heads inside her sleeves. Actually, they even vanished when she kept them there. “Yingxia won’t talk anymore. No more heads…”

Li Feng didn’t mind. He was basically told that they were in the Qiao family. Whether it was a residence or a hidden bunker, at least he knew who was behind these. Still, he needed to free himself. It was too cold, and he didn’t like being exposed like this.

He then closed his eyes and took a deep breath. As if it was a trick he had learned to do, he started to beg for Liu Xiaodan’s attention. However, his voice was hysterical. He had no idea what would happen if Liu Xiaodan manifested his blood form out here. The demon was just in front of him.

However, his entire body shuddered as he tried. ‘I… can’t even feel my power… did they seal me?’
