Chapter 38 - 38: Poor People, Ghosts in the Construction Site!



Inside the project department, it suddenly became quiet.

All eyes were on Ma Long.

Ma Long felt somewhat uncomfortable under their gazes, but as it concerned his family’s property, how could he back down at this time?

He suddenly braced himself, raised his head and confidently said, “1 have a brother who is a disciple of Heavenly Master, skilled in exorcising ghosts and evil spirits. If you all trust me, let’s wait for a day, and when tomorrow comes, I’ll have him perform a ritual at the construction site to catch the ghost. What do you think?”

A group of workers whispered for a moment before asking, “Are you Mr. Ma?”

“Alright, we’ll trust Mr. Ma for this once!”

After they left one after another, Ma Long felt weak in the legs and plopped down onto a chair, “Dad, Mom, what on earth is going on?”

“Our construction site was going well, how did it suddenly become haunted?”

“Nonsense!”

Ma Long’s father scolded, “Your words just now indeed appeased everyone, but how can you believe such nonsense? This is superstition!”

Ma Long was taken aback, then persuaded, “Dad, this is not superstition. Ghosts really exist in this world!”

“You brat!”

Ma Long’s mother poked a finger on his head, with a disappointed look on her face, “I asked you to study hard, but you couldn’t get it… how can you start to believe in feudal superstitions now?”

“The workers say there’s a ghost, and you believe them?”

“I say, you must have offended someone in the business world, and someone is intentionally messing with you!”

“Old Ma, don’t you know Lao Wang from our Litong District sub-bureau? Give him a call and ask him to send a few people over to investigate.”

Upon hearing this, Ma Long spoke up, “Are you talking about Officer Wang Tianshui? Don’t bother calling, he and my brother are currently tracking a ghost… I just came here in that ghost’s taxi.”

“You took a taxi? What about your BMW?”

“Um…”

Ma Long spread his hands, “Would you believe me if 1 said my BMW was taken by a ghost to race and crash it?”

Ma Long’s parents:”…”

Outside Wu City’s northern gas station.

Looking at the taxi refueling, Officer Wang was a little confused.

“Xu Yang, did we go wrong in our investigation?”

“There… might be a chance.”

Xu Yang also had this feeling.

He had thought that the ghost might play some tricks, but in fact, it hadn’t.

The two of them had been following the taxi from 12 o’clock at night until 5 o’clock in the morning, and when it was about to dawn, the taxi returned to “Lakeside Garden” complex and stopped at its original spot.

The driver sat in the car for about 10 minutes, then got out of the car with his exhausted body, carrying his stainless steel thermos cup, and slowly walked out of the neighborhood.

“Get out of the car, follow him!”

Xu Yang quickly pushed the car door open and followed behind the driver.

Lao Wang jogged to catch up with Xu Yang and whispered, “Xu Yang, what should we do now? Can you catch ghosts? How about capturing them and taking them to the station for interrogation?”

“He hasn’t done anything bad, so what’s there to interrogate?”

The two followed the driver, left the “Lakeside Garden” estate, tailed him all the way, and arrived at an old residential area.

The driver didn’t stop, and after entering the residential area, he went straight in an old building.

The two followed him.

The driver noticed them, looked back, but didn’t say anything. Instead, he stopped at the third floor, took out his key, opened the door and went in.

Lao Wang wanted to knock on the door but was stopped by Xu Yang.

“Officer Wang, don’t be impulsive. Let’s go to the community first, and get some information before proceeding.”

At this moment, the sky was just starting to brighten, and the community office was not yet open for work.

The two returned to the car, took a nap, and then went to eat breakfast when the sky brightened before heading to the community office.

Upon inquiring, the community office staff indeed knew about this matter.

“You’re talking about Old Ma?”

“Ah…”

“He’s a poor guy.”

“His son is disabled, with cerebral palsy, and has trouble moving around. His mother has been bedridden with an eye disease for eight years and has been blind. His wife couldn’t take it anymore, so she divorced Old Ma seven years ago and ran away with a man from another city.”

“During the day, Old Ma takes care of his son and mother at home, and at night, he drives a taxi.”

“He’s been doing this for seven years. A man in his thirties, but he looks older than fifty because of years of hard work.”

“Half a month ago, Old Ma suddenly died in his taxi due to exhaustion… It’s a shame. We don’t know how his mother and son can survive. We in the community have reported this matter, hoping that the relevant departments will pay attention and help solve this problem.”

The two walked out of the community office.

They sat down on the steps at the door.

Lao Wang took out a cigarette, gave one to Xu Yang, and they both smoked.

After a moment of silence, Lao Wang finally asked, “Xu Yang, as an expert in this field, how would you usually deal with such matters?”

“I’m just a newbie.”

Xu Yang smiled bitterly, “Since I started, I’ve seen fewer than ten ghosts: harmful water ghosts, fire ghosts, cute little ghosts, beautiful female ghosts… but I’ve never encountered this kind of ghost.”

The person had died.

And became a ghost.

Yet because of a stubborn attachment, worrying about their parents and children at home with no one to take care of them, they repeated their daily routine day after day. It was possible that not even he knew he had died!

Scaring him to gain merit?

Xu Yang’s moral bottom line did not allow him to do such a thing.

He thought and said, “Officer Wang, can you do me a favor?”

“Help settle Old Ma’s mother and son, and i’ll cover the expenses… I’ve made some savings over the years in my funeral business.”

“No problem!”

Without any hesitation, Lao Wang agreed, “I’ll run errands for this issue… The relevant departments should have funding allocations and charity funds.”

After saying that,

he paused and then asked, “So… are you still going to catch him?”

Xu Yang shook his head.

“He’s not doing anything wrong, why would 1 catch him?”

“It’s just that his situation is too special, his soul is too weak, and he’s relying solely on a stubborn attachment. If he ever finds out he’s dead and realizes it, he will likely have his soul scattered.”

“Moreover, his mother and son are both physically weak. Living together for a long time, affected by the Yin energy, they might become even more serious.”

Xu Yang stood up and patted the dirt on his butt, “You go and run the errands as soon as possible. When there’s a result, let’s go to his house.”

He glanced back at the old residential area and then hailed a taxi back to the funeral home.

As soon as he entered the shop,

Ma Long arrived.

He came in with his parents and said, “Xu Yang, I need help…. There’s a ghost haunting my construction site!”
