Yu Zhenping forced a chuckle. "Oh, she was terrified. She cried a bunch when it first started. But... maybe she's just gotten numb to it."

Numb? To this kind of thing?

Jiang Yiqing's brow furrowed slightly. Something about this family didn't sit right with him.

"Mind if I take a look around?" he asked.

"Of course not," Yu Zhenping replied quickly.

As Jiang Yiqing examined the room, he asked casually, "When exactly was the car accident again?"

"A month ago."

"Was the car okay?"

"Ugh, no—half of it got smashed. Total loss."

Jiang Yiqing glanced at Yu Zhenping's slightly limping leg and smiled. "Then you got pretty lucky, only ending up with a limp."

Yu Zhenping instinctively shrank his injured leg back, chuckling weakly. "Yeah... lucky, I guess."

Jiang Yiqing didn't press further. Instead, the two made their way to the master bedroom. On the desk, several photos were scattered in plain view. Jiang Yiqing's eyes sharpened as he stepped closer, but before he could take a good look, Yu Zhenping quickly rushed over and gathered them up.

"Sorry, sorry! Those are client files—private stuff. I forgot to put them away, haha."

Jiang Yiqing gave a neutral nod. He was pretty sure he'd seen nothing but young women in those photos. Yu Zhenping had said he worked in the clothing business... so maybe it wasn't anything shady.

Still, something about all this felt... off.

Just then, Li Dan suddenly stormed in, eyes blazing with fury as she glared at Jiang Yiqing.

"What are you doing here?! Who told you to come?!" she shouted. "Yu Zhenping, you deserve to die!"

She lunged toward Jiang Yiqing, reaching out to grab him. "Get out! Get out of our house! Leave right now!"

Yu Zhenping rushed forward to hold her back, frowning tightly. "What the hell are you doing again?! I know you've been scared lately, but Master Jiang is here to help us!"

He half-shoved her away, trying to get her out of the room, but her voice still rang out behind them:

"Yu Zhenping, this is your karma! You brought this on yourself—!"

Before she could finish, Yu Zhenping clamped a hand over her mouth, his face twisting in panic. He spun around to look at Jiang Yiqing, eyes wild with frustration.

"Just shut up already!" he snapped.

Jiang Yiqing looked at the panicked Yu Zhenping, raised an eyebrow, and said, "She..."

Yu Zhenping sighed and helplessly said, "Let me be honest with you, I'm not afraid you'll laugh, but my wife... she has a bit of a problem."

He pointed at his head and continued, "Her condition was stable at first, but recently with everything that happened, it's gotten worse. Sigh, I just don't have the energy to take her to the hospital, so I'll have to wait until everything's settled before taking her."

After sighing again, Yu Zhenping looked at Jiang Yiqing and said, "Master Jiang, I'm counting on you for this. You have to catch her and make her vanish!"

Jiang Yiqing leisurely looked at Yu Zhenping. "You seem to really hate her."

Yu Zhenping cleared his throat and said, "Well, yeah. She's been torturing me lately, almost driving me crazy. I took her home with good intentions...! Ah, forget it. Anyway, Master Jiang, you really have to take care of her, so she doesn't go around harming people again."

Jiang Yiqing didn't respond to his words and said, "Let's wait until it gets dark."

Yu Zhenping nodded, swallowed nervously, and said, "Master Jiang, you really can handle this, right?"

Jiang Yiqing raised an eyebrow. "What, you don't trust me?"

Yu Zhenping quickly shook his head. "No, no, I trust you, Master Jiang."

Jiang Yiqing gave a small "mm" sound and said, "If that's the case, then let's wait."

Yu Zhenping could only nod, his mind heavy with thoughts, not knowing what was going through his head.

Li Dan, on the other hand, quieted down, no longer causing a scene. But when she looked at Jiang Yiqing, she gave an eerie smile. "You help him, but she won't let you off."

Jiang Yiqing glanced at Li Dan but didn't respond.

Tch, this family... they're all pretty weird.

Night.

Yu Zhenping lay in bed, eyes closed, too afraid to open them. The sound of dripping echoed in his ears, and he swallowed, trembling all over. It was here again, it had come again.

"Don't you like my face?" A slick, cold sensation crawled over him, making him terrified. "Open your eyes and look."

Strangely, Li Dan was sitting beside him, watching the scene, seemingly unafraid. She even told the female ghost, "He brought help, so be careful."

Hearing this, the female ghost's expression became even more terrifying. She had long wanted to kill Yu Zhenping. She hated him, and without killing him, she couldn't rest in peace!

Unfortunately, Yu Zhenping's yang energy had not been completely drained, so she couldn't make a move.

Tonight, she could've made a move... but unexpectedly, he had brought help.

The female ghost let out a strange, shrill laugh. "Then you'll both die together."

As she spoke, her fingernails suddenly grew longer and aimed for Yu Zhenping's forehead.

Yu Zhenping was scared out of his wits. He stopped pretending to be dead and screamed, "Master Jiang, help!"

Before the words were even out, the female ghost suddenly felt a sharp pain in her wrist. She had to retract her hand and turned to glare at Jiang Yiqing, who had suddenly appeared.

Seeing Jiang Yiqing, she unconsciously took a step back. The aura around this person was a little terrifying, and she feared she couldn't beat him.

"Master Jiang, Master Jiang, you've finally come," Yu Zhenping ran behind Jiang Yiqing, trembling, and pointed at the female ghost not far away, terrified. "Quick, quick, make her vanish! She wants to kill me! She wants to kill me!"

The female ghost watched Jiang Yiqing warily. She had prepared herself, and if this so-called master truly wanted to help Yu Zhenping, she would risk it all, even if it meant disappearing, to kill him.

She was ready, but to her surprise, Jiang Yiqing looked at Yu Zhenping, didn't make a move, pulled up a chair, sat down leisurely, and said, "Go ahead, tell me what happened."

The female ghost was stunned. "You... you're not going to help him deal with me?"

Yu Zhenping was shocked and furious. "You're not helping me?"

"I only help those who need help." After saying that, he turned to look at the female ghost. "And ghosts who need help."

Yu Zhenping couldn't believe it. "We're on the same side! You and I are both human, how can you help a ghost!"
