Chapter 57: Ghost Street

At 10:30 pm, the high-speed train slowly pulled into the station.

Qin Yiyi and the mother and son pair were brought to the duty room by a few police officers to make records.

It was done in less than 10 minutes.

One of the police officers named Ah Mu sent her out with a face full of hesitation.

Qin Yiyi was amused by what she saw. “Police officer, do you have anything to ask me? Feel free to ask.”

“It is the duty of every citizen to cooperate with the police comrades to fight against criminals, punish the strong and eliminate the evil. It is the duty of every citizen to not let a bad person go.”

The girl’s palm-sized face still had some baby fat on it, and her eyes were clear and childlike.

However, the words she said were serious and righteous.

She was like a little adult.

This made a smile appear in Ah Mu’s eyes, who was already in his thirties. He scratched his head and could not help but say, “About that, I would like to ask Miss Qin for a favor… I can’t find an IP address, and I can’t even find someone from our technical department. About that, our technical staff said that your computer skills are very good, can you find some time to help me take a look?”

“Of course, of course. It’s okay if it’s inconvenient for you. Just pretend that I didn’t say anything.”

Ah Mu was probably a little embarrassed.

Or perhaps it was his first time doing something like this

In his heart, he was a police officer. It was usually the commoners who would look for the police if they had something to do or if they were in trouble.

Why was it the other way around here?

But he really didn’t want to miss any opportunity!

Qin Yiyi didn’t expect that the other party would stop her because of this. After thinking for a moment, she picked up her phone.

“Do you have Wechat? Can you scan me?”

“Okay, okay, okay. Thank you, Miss Qin…”

Ah Mu hurriedly took out his phone and added Qin Yiyi’s Wechat. Before he could say anything, Qin Yiyi waved her phone.

“I’ll be leaving first. I’ll contact you later.”

“Okay, thank you.”

No matter what, he finally had another chance, didn’t he?

After Qin Yiyi walked out of the high-speed rail station, she casually took a taxi by the roadside and went straight to the hotel that she had booked earlier.

The room was reserved early.

After putting her backpack away, she took a hot shower and changed into a new set of clothes. After lying on the bed for a while, she fell asleep.

Qin Yiyi, who was deep in sleep, didn’t know about the internet at this moment, because she had directly become part of two hot searches.

The trending topics were the kind that shot up in a straight line like a rocket!

— the high-speed train’s bad guy complained first.

— the beautiful girl punished the strong and eliminated the evil. Her skills were extraordinary.

These were all taken by passers-by on the train and posted on Weibo.

Who would have thought that in just half a day’s time, Qin Yiyi had actually become a trending topic?

Of course, even if she knew, she could not be bothered to ask.

Shanghai.

Shang Jingheng had already found out Qin Yiyi’s whereabouts.

However, he was a little worried that she would abandon Ding Yi and run straight to Shanghai. He called a few times, but her phone was turned off.

Seeing that a night had passed, her phone was still not working…

Just as he had the urge to rush straight to Shanghai to look for Qin Yiyi, Ding Yi ran in with his phone in his arms.

“Sir, sir, sir, Weibo, Weibo. Please take a look at Weibo.”

Shang Jingheng calmly glanced at him, full of warning and danger.

He had lost sight of her and had yet to find out anything. Now, he actually wanted him to look at all those messy things?!

“News, Miss Qin’s news, Weibo, Trending!”

If it were any other time, Ding Yi would have definitely been frightened by his Sir’s glance and would have used all his might to find an excuse to run away.

But he didn’t need to do that now. He wanted to redeem himself and make a meritorious contribution!

He fearlessly handed his phone to Shang Jingheng. “Sir, sir, look. On Weibo, Miss Qin has been trending!”

“Haha, acting bravely in the name of Justice. I’ve seen it. It’s even been liked by the authorities.”

“A lot of people are praising Miss Qin. She’s really amazing!”

As expected of the girl that his master valued!

Ding Yi had too many things on his mind. Before he could finish his thoughts, Shang Jingheng had already walked out.

“Hey, hey, master. Master, my phone.”

It was his, it was his!

Shang Jingheng stopped in his tracks and threw the phone to him. His thin lips moved slightly.

“Go get the car.”

“It’s fine. Hey, Hey, no, master, don’t you have an international meeting in five minutes?”

“Oh, let C-1 handle it.”

Ding Yi rolled his eyes and decisively sent a message to C-1. Then, he closed Wechat and went downstairs to drive.

C-1 wanted to hit someone when he received the message.

“Ding Yi, where did you kidnap Sir Again? This is the meeting that Sir attended the entire time.”

“Forget it, forget it. I’ll handle it. Safety first…”

Taking advantage of the red light, Ding Yi replied to C-1 that everything had been arranged.

Half an hour later, they left the city’s highway.

Shang Jingheng, who had been resting with his eyes closed the whole time, said calmly, “Drive faster.”

He wondered if the little girl was injured?

Yes, he also knew that the possibility of this happening was not high. After all, her skills were not inferior to his.

But he was inexplicably worried…

The car instantly sped up and rushed all the way to Shanghai.

In the evening.

Qin Yiyi was woken up by hunger.

Looking at the sky outside, she couldn’t help but rub her rumbling stomach,

She had slept for so long!

She got up to wash up, changed into a dark casual outfit, and tied up her ponytail.

She tidied up her entire body very neatly.

She pursed her lips, and when she took out her phone, she realized that she had actually forgotten to turn it on.

She didn’t know if anyone was looking for her?

As she walked towards the lobby, she turned on her phone.

Over a hundred messages popped up. Wechat messages, messages from the phone itself.

There were even a few messages from Ah Mu, the police officer, asking if she had found a good place to stay and if she needed his help.

She directly ignored them.

Qin Yiyi’s gaze fell on Shang Jingheng’s profile picture.

When she opened it, there were only two messages. One asked where she was, and the other asked if she was injured.

The two messages in the middle were separated by a few hours.

Injured?

Qin Yiyi raised her eyebrows. She felt that this person’s question was a little confusing, but she still replied, “Shanghai, not injured.”

After thinking for a while, she took a selfie of herself and then took a picture of the hotel lobby and sent it over.

Then, she ignored him and started chatting with Lu Jinwan.

At the same time, she understood what Shang Jingheng meant when he asked her if she was injured.

She was actually trending?

She shook her head. Trending was really easy these days!

On the other side of the phone, Lu Jinwan was still screaming on Wechat, “Yiyi Yiyi, you’re too amazing. Oh right, let me ask you, how did you know that those two people were thieves? Don’t you know that many people on Weibo are guessing this question? There are also some people who say something about betting online on live broadcasts. It’s really lively, isn’t it? Didn’t you watch, Yiyi?”

“No, it’s a waste of time.”

Looking at Lu Jinwan’s angry expression, she reminded her calmly.

“You still have three days left on that stack of test papers I gave you the day before yesterday. Have you finished half of them?”

Lu Jinwan secretly ground her teeth. “I’ll do it right away!” At the same time, she sent a bomb emoji to show that her anger was soaring to the sky!

Qin Yiyi smiled and let her do the questions. After she promised to look for her when she returned, she had already arrived at the dining hall.

“Give me a simple meal.”

She beckoned for the waiter to come over and order the meal. She glanced at Wechat and clicked on Shang Jingheng’s flashing profile picture.

“I’m going to stay here for a few days. Do you want me to pick you up?”

“No need. If things go smoothly, I can go back in about three days.”

“Alright then. When you come back, tell me. I’ll pick you up.”

Qin Yiyi replied with the word ‘good’ once. Then, she sent the word ‘eat’ and threw her phone away.

The biggest meal in the world!

At this moment, Shang Jingheng was holding his phone and sitting up straight, like a child waiting for a teacher to ask a question.

Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, his line of sight was about to see through the phone screen.

The other party’s Wechat profile picture still did not move.

His eyes gradually returned to their usual indifference. He calmly threw his phone aside and leaned back.

“Ding Yi, go straight to the hotel.”

“Yes, sir.”

He felt very strange in his heart. Previously, Sir was still in a hurry. He wished that he could grow wings and fly to Miss Qin.

Why did he suddenly change his mind?

He shook his head. He couldn’t figure it out!

10:30 pm.

Qin Yiyi put her hands in her pockets and walked expressionlessly on a small road in the suburbs of Shanghai.

The taxi had dropped her off half an hour ago.

She didn’t expect that it would take so long to walk here…

Fortunately, she had increased her physical exercise during this period of time. Otherwise, with her previous body, she would probably be out of breath after walking for ten minutes.

She walked forward for another ten minutes or so.

Qin Yiyi looked at the two dilapidated wooden doors in front of her that looked as if they could fall with a light push, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

This place…

She walked over calmly. Three long and two short. After stopping for half a minute, she repeated two short and three long times.

The wooden doors creaked open.

However, there was no one behind the doors…

The moonlight was faint, and the courtyard was filled with withered grass. It was half the height of a person, and it was rustling when the wind blew.

It was almost November, and unknowingly, one could feel a cold and gloomy aura seeping into one’s skin.

Qin Yiyi’s hands were in her pockets as she calmly stood on the path.

She thought about how she had hacked into the other party’s program and found out about the process. After waiting for two to three minutes.

Under the night sky, a hoarse and cold voice that sounded like a demon from hell suddenly sounded.

“Password.”

Qin Yiyi’s expression did not change.

“Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger, one, two, three, four, five.”

The mechanical voice rang out again, “Pass. Advance ten meters, turn left.”

Alright, your boss will listen to you now.

Qin Yiyi received a few reminders from the other party, turning left and right. Finally, she walked into a secret passage under a fake mountain.

The entire journey was filled with mechanical reminders.

After about ten minutes, Qin Yiyi squinted her eyes and appeared on a brightly lit and bustling street!

And on the side of the entrance of the street where she was standing was a stone tablet that was half the height of a person.

There were two seal characters written on it:

Ghost Street!

As the name implied, all the activities on Ghost Street happened at night.

Moreover, the opening time here was limited. It was the last three days of the end of each month.

Even one more day was not allowed!

Just like at this moment, the first step Qin Yiyi took to settle down here was exactly at twelve o’clock in the morning.

It was as if a crowd had appeared out of thin air.

The shouts, the screams, and the sounds of bargaining intertwined one after another.

It formed a scene that was extremely stimulating to one’s five senses.

Qin Yiyi pursed her lower lip and calmly blended into the crowd. She seemed to be aimless, but in fact, she was walking forward.

The crowd on both sides walked back and forth. Many of them were wearing strange clothes and looked very high-profile.

But if you looked again, you would find that most of the people here were wearing a layer of mask.

The so-called Ghost Street appeared with a face that was usually completely different from the outside world!

Qin Yiyi also wore a layer of mask, but she had bought some materials from a forum some time ago and made it herself.

A thin layer was stuck on her face.

It was as if it had become one with her face, the kind that couldn’t fall out freely.

Not to mention that no one was paying attention to her. Even if they were, no one would even notice that she was wearing a mask!

“Hey, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Are you kay?”

Qin Yiyi, who was walking forward, was hit by a young boy running over from the opposite side.

It was not that he did not want to hide, but it was mainly because there were people on one side and stalls on the other side.

Moreover, Qin Yiyi did not want to reveal her skills at this time.

She nodded slightly at him, and her voice was slightly hoarse.

“It’s okay.”

The other party should be in some kind of trouble. He only had time to take a look at Qin Yiyi, and she was indeed not injured.

She did not intend to make things difficult for him.

He immediately raised his feet and ran away like the wind.

Almost as soon as he walked over, a few black men in black rushed over aggressively.

They brushed past her.

One of the black-clothed men suddenly stopped and looked at Qin Yiyi with a suspicious expression.

“Did you see a little thief? Oh, he’s this tall and he’s wearing a fox mask. Did you see which way he ran?”

Qin yiyi replied indifferently, “No.”

“Hey, fifth brother, what are you doing? He’s gone. That kid must have run ahead. Third Master said that we must not let him off this time.”

“He’s coming. You guys go ahead first.”

Not only was fifth brother not chased away by his companions, he even took two steps back and blocked Qin Yiyi’s path.

“You really didn’t see him?”

“Why? Did this Ghost Street change its rules and force him to sell?”

“But you smell like him!”

The other party looked at Qin Yiyi with a sharp gaze. “Although the smell is very faint, it means that the two of you have met just now, and it should have only been a short while…” His voice was filled with killing intent, “I advise you to tell me his whereabouts quickly. The outcome of shielding him is not as good as you think.”

“After all, the title of Third Master Qin is not given for nothing.”

Third Master Qin?

Qin Yi thought for a moment and decisively threw the thought to the side.

No memory.

The person who was not hacked on the internet before was definitely not a big shot!

A small pawn!

Qin Yiyi narrowed her eyes and looked at the other party. He did not know, he did not see it.

She raised her eyes and her gaze that was as sharp as a blade directly landed on the other party.

It was as if he was being cut by a knife.

At the same time, it was as if he was being stabbed right into his heart.

The black-clothed man’s heart skipped a beat. He felt as if he could not even breathe!

Subconsciously, his muscles tensed up as he moved his body to attack.

Unfortunately, he was slower than Qin Yiyi. She extended his long legs and kicked the man out.

The black-clothed man was caught off guard and did not expect this.

The 1.8-meter-tall man was kicked back several steps.

His body was thrown back and he fell onto a stall by the side of the road!

The stall owner, “…” What bad luck!

Looking at the badge on this person’s clothes, he wanted to turn his head and curse.

It was actually third master’s people!

He was even more unlucky. If he had known earlier, he would have read the fortune in the morning before setting up the stall.

Unlucky!

Just as the stall owner was squatting on the ground to pack up his things.

The black-clothed man known as Ah Wu had already stood up with a livid expression. His gaze was filled with killing intent as he looked at Qin Yiyi.

“You actually dared to go against third master. Looks like the two of you are indeed in cahoots. Men, take this person down!”

“Remember to keep them alive. Third Master will reward you handsomely later.”

A swarm of people rushed over. Qin Yiyi rolled up her sleeves and raised her foot to kick the first person who rushed over.

With a twist of her body, she directly knocked out the other person with a punch.

In just a few minutes, five or six people had already laid down in the empty area that had been deliberately separated by the crowd!

Ah Wu was also knocked unconscious by Qin Yiyi on the ground.

However, Qin Yiyi took special care of him and kicked him awake again.

Seeing Ah Wu’s fierce face and vicious words directed at her, Qin Yiyi blinked her eyes and directly stepped on him.

With a sound of “AH”, Ah Wu spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes were filled with the desire to eat Qin Yiyi alive.

The tendons on his hands and feet had been broken by this person!

“Go back and tell your third master to control his people properly. Don’t let them out from time to time and bite people randomly.”

Before Qin Yiyi came, she had deliberately used medicine to make her voice hoarse and deep.

Now, with her sharp eyes, she spoke calmly but aggressively.

Immediately, many people who had gathered to watch the show started to pay attention to her.

Who was this? He had beaten up Third Master’s people to such a state and still said such ruthless words. He was really bold!

He was just a newborn calf. Don’t worry, third master will teach him to be a good person.

Amidst the discussion, Qin Yiyi turned around and continued walking forward.

This was the area on the first floor. She was going to at least the second or third area.

Only those areas would have some medicinal herbs or special items that she wanted.

However, she took two steps and retreated back.

Squatting on the side of the street, Qin Yiyi helped the stall owner who was knocked over to pick up a few things. After that, she fiddled with them as if he did not intend to do so.

“Boss, why do you have so many things in this mess? Oh My, you actually have ancient knowledge.”

“You really have all kinds of things.”

The other party was about fifty years old and had a small mustache. His eyes were quick and agile.

“Little girl, take whatever you like. Seeing that we are so fated, I’ll give you a 20% discount.”

“Let me tell you, if other people want to buy this, I might not even sell it.”

Qin Yiyi casually picked up an antique bronze bottle and played with it while chuckling,

“What are you saying? If there’s a business, why aren’t you going to do it? I don’t believe it.”

She didn’t mind that the other party had seen through her identity as a girl; experts were everywhere among the people!

Moreover, this was a place where strange people and eccentric people appeared.

“How much are these two?”

She held a string of agate bracelets and a small pendant in her hand as she calmly haggled over the price.

“Aiyo, Young Lady, you have good taste. This is an authentic high-grade agate bracelet. It was given to you by the high monk of Zhengde Temple.”

“It’s a gift for the fated person.”

“It’s half-sold and half-given. This old man won’t extort you. I’ll take a slap from you.”

A slap?

Qin Yi blinked. “Five thousand?”

“Fifty thousand!”

The little old man’s beard perked up.

He was angered by Qin Yiyi’s price.

“This is the temple’s former worshipper, an eminent monk. How can you say 5,000?”

“Forget it, forget it. I’m not going to argue with you. I’ll give you a discount. 46,000. Oh right, little girl, do you know who I am? I’m famous for my iron tongue. If you buy something from me, I’ll give you a divination. How about that?” The short old man had a smug look on his face. He stretched out his hand and twirled it a few times before he raised his handlebar mustache. He shook his head and looked at Qin Yiyi. “I’ll count your life before and after. I’ll count your past three lifetimes, your future three lifetimes, your marriage, and your money. As long as you can open your mouth, this little old man will guarantee that you’ll be satisfied. How about it?”

Qin Yiyi’s voice was calm. “How about it?”

She took the two things in her hand and looked at them with a serious look on her face, “Just now, your stall smashed the so-called third Master Qin’s people. If you still don’t open your shop, I’ve calculated that you won’t be able to open your shop for the next half a year, let alone today… If I were you, I would close my shop now and then change a place to break the feng shui…” This was the so-called driving force of an aura, if she didn’t buy his things, someone would definitely come to settle the score with him later.

He would even be unlucky for the next year!

The little old man’s expression was a little suspicious. He sized up Qin Yiyi and chuckled, “You actually met an expert? But little girl, you are still a little inexperienced. Young lady, your master did not teach you to be humble. Especially in a place like this, isn’t it bad to show off your skills in front of an expert?”

Qin Yiyi’s expression was indifferent. “My master told me that when your own abilities and skills can crush everything, all sneaking around is an illusion! There’s no need to take it to heart.” Pausing for a moment.., she looked at the other party with a serious expression. “10,000 yuan plus this string of copper coins as a bonus. If you still refuse, then you can wait until a year later before opening.” After saying that, she got up and left.

Behind her was the angry voice of the little old man.

“Wait, wait, wait, I’ll give it to you.”

Reluctantly, he handed the item to Qin Yiyi. The little old man stared at her and muttered to himself, “Darn girl, you really know how to bargain. Aiyo, my heart hurts so much. Girl, look at my legs. I’m old. It’s not easy to earn money. Do you really have the heart to bargain with me at this price?”

“Why don’t we give you a 50% discount, 28,000? Eight is good. Send it…”

Qin Yi glanced at him. “8,800 is even better. 6,600 is also good. 6,600 is great. Which one do you want?”

The little old man said,”… Let’s make it 10,000.”1,000 could make him eat several meals.

With the item in hand, she felt the faint aura coming from the string of copper coins lying quietly in her palm.

She lowered her eyes and said, “Old man, based on the word ‘Fate’, I advise you to move to another place now. It’s best if you head south. Otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll lose everything today.” After saying this, she left. However, the little old man who remained at the same spot frowned and stared at her back for a long time. In the end, he stomped his feet, grabbed the four corners of the cloth, tied a bag, and carried it on his back to blend into the crowd.

In less than five minutes.

A group of black-clothed people rushed over with murderous intent. They smashed a few stalls in succession and then left.

The people were thrown off their horses.

The expression of the little old man who was hiding in the crowd by the roadside changed.

That girl, did she really calculate correctly? !

At this moment, Qin Yiyi was already standing in front of the door of an antique-looking medicine shop.
