Chapter 191: Ghost Market (Part 2) II
“How about I just fetch you from there. Give me half an hour, alright?”
“Fetch me? With what?” I asked.
“Pang Guang’s Land Rover,” he responded with a laugh.
“You’re really inheriting everything, huh? Taking over the magpie’s nest?”
“Can’t deny that. Thankfully, he’s not married yet. His girlfriend packed up and left yesterday. If he had been married, things would have been more tricky.”
“Wait, girlfriend? Do you have her contact number?” I asked urgently.
“Wow, you’re taking someone else’s leftovers?” Dahai asked and I could hear the judgment in his tone.
“No, idiot. I sold a doll to that lady.”
“Selling fake goods to your own people, huh?” he commented with a laugh.
“Don’t laugh. I think their deaths have something to do with this stuff.”
“Hey, hey, you don’t have to claim credits. I’ll pull you up either way.”
“That’s not the case. Remember the pocket watch?”
“What about it?”
“It’s evil.”
“Didn’t I tell you to get rid of it as soon as possible?”
“Pang Guang brought his girlfriend over after you left that day. She was looking for something to help her seek revenge so I gave her the doll. Your cousin then took a liking to the watch and even said that it is good stuff. He paid me 1,300 for it.”
“Didn’t I treat you to a meal the day after that? Why didn’t you tell me then?”
“How am I supposed to tell you that I accepted your relative’s money?” I asked bitterly.
“Lu Qiao... all Pangs are dead now except for those from the fifth son’s family. Regardless of sex, they all died brutally in different accidents. Car crashes, fire, and so on. Xiaomei was with Pang Guang when he got crushed by a lorry. They were even holding hands when it happened! Pang Guang’s parents bawled their eyes out. His father died from a heart attack shortly after and his mom then jumped off from the hospital building.”
I exclaimed, “How do you sleep at night?”
“I slept very well, mind you. All the inheritance belongs to me now.”
“Come pick me up, quick.”
“Alright, alright, I’m up. Damn! I finally could get a good night’s rest and you have to ruin my plans. I’m a billionaire but you’re demanding me to be your chauffeur now?” he joked before giving a loud yawn.
A message came in a few minutes later. Dahai sent me Xiaomei’s number.
I immediately called the number.
“Hello,” a familiar voice greeted sleepily.
I forgot that it’s actually four in the morning.
“Hi! You’re Xiaomei?” I asked.
“Yeah, who are you?” she asked, confused.
“You came over to my stall with Brother Guang last week. Do you remember?”
“Oh, Master! Your stuff works.”
“It did? I’m actually calling you about that.”
“The police isn’t looking for you, are they? I did not say anything.”
I didn’t understand what she was talking about. “What police?”
“Well, isn’t that what you wanted to talk to me about?”
“Tell me about the police first.”
“I didn’t tell them anything. Please do the same if they look for you. I have nothing against my colleague. I just wanted Pang Guang to notice me more. We were planning to get married but ever since we started living together, he became violent. That was the real reason why I got the doll from you. I used his photo and his hair. I really did not expect it to be so effective. I hammered it a few times only, but alas, he died the very next day. I simply wanted to teach him a small lesson. I’ve already burned the doll and I did not reveal anything to the police. I’ve been looking for you as well. I just wanna know if there will be any side effects to something this effective?”
“Wait, the police interrogated you?”
“Pang Guang died before my eyes so I had to give a statement. I was pretty nervous during the process but the police did not ask about any other matters, so I definitely did not reveal any unnecessary details. I’ve already flushed his ashes yesterday. His relative, Dahai, went over to his place and I passed the key to him. Are there really no side effects to this? I’m so afraid now,” she explained worriedly.
“Yes, don’t worry about it. Do you remember the pocket watch that Pang Guang bought from me?”
“Yes, what about it?”
“Is it with you?”
“He brought it home and kept it in the safe. I wasn’t allowed to touch it. He did mention repeatedly that it’s a treasure. Do you want it back?”
“No, no, forget it. Thanks,” I replied.
“How did you get my number, Master?”
“Just got it from someone. Don’t worry about it. Delete my number. I won’t reveal anything either. We’ll just pretend not to know each other. That’s all, thanks.”
“You’re really a master, Master. I swear that I didn’t mean for this to happen. I’ve been having nightmares for the past few nights. It’s not because of the side effect, is it?”
“Maybe his spirit is still around since he died unjustly. This number is tied to my AliPay account. Drop 1,800 in and I’ll dispel his spirit for you.”
I’m charging her just to see if she’s speaking the truth.
“Alright, Master,” she finished before hanging up.
I looked down at my own dolls.
Do they really work? No way...
If something’s at work, it has to be that watch.
It must be special, somehow.
My phone lit up. “1,800 has been deposited into your account. Please check.”
After a short while, I sent her a text: I’ve done the expulsion but there’s still a little bit of stubborn spirit. You might still dream of him and other small things, but don’t worry, he can no longer hurt you.”
I received a thank you message a few minutes later.
A call came through from Dahai.
He’s waiting by the entrance of the market.
