IW: Chapter 306 - Finding a Substitute, Zhong Fabai's Ghost Hunting Squad!
"Indeed, those people here simply don't have the protection of official luck, no wonder this is happening!"
Wang Anguo suddenly realized why the people here weren't blessed with good fortune.
No wonder some incapable ghosts could possess bodies.
And precisely because of these reasons, these ghosts have become quite troublesome.
He knew very well that Bai Ye was right; once those ghosts retaliated, it would cause a huge impact.
"Do you have any clues?"
Wang Anguo agreed.
But he wanted to know if Bai Ye had any other leads.
Among these people, there were probably some with positions.
"Currently, only a police chief is, the others are not very clear."
Bai Ye hadn't made too much contact.
Right now, he was using them, and they were also using him to eliminate ghosts.
There was a tacit balance between the two sides.
So Bai Ye was not in a hurry to get rid of the other party.
In fact, if they waited until that matter was over, these people would likely not be able to stir up any trouble.
However, it was inevitable that these people might cause something before that matter.
"A police chief? Then let us handle this matter."
Wang Anguo understood that Bai Ye was probably not very clear, otherwise he wouldn't have said so.
Since Bai Ye didn't know, they would handle this matter.
"By the way, if you investigate, don't act yet. We still need them to provide us with some information!"
The other party had probably been operating for some years.
They knew many things better than he did. If they alerted them now, they might have to put aside other matters and prioritize dealing with these ghosts later.
"Don't worry, our actions will be coordinated with you first!"
Wang Anguo reassured Bai Ye.
Their arrival here wouldn't disrupt Bai Ye's plans.
Besides, they hadn't understood so much before coming.
Since Bai Ye had already figured out what to do, he certainly wouldn't interfere.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
"We're all on the same side. If you have any requests, you can directly make them. This situation is something we temporarily can't manage. Later, we hope you can manage this place well yourselves."
Wang Anguo waved his hand, his words carrying a deeper meaning.
Currently, all sides were working hard.
The government didn't need his concern, and the underworld also had people being recruited.
He was responsible for the Taoist side.
He also had a good impression of Bai Ye during their conversation.
It was also a hint to Bai Ye.
Their self-management was also a benefit for Bai Ye.
Any future communication between the two sides would also go through him.
As long as everyone was on the same side.
"I know, I don't have those intentions. I will handle the matters of Hong Kong."
"Good, good, good. Then, I'll take my leave now. Next time, I'll treat you to a meal!"
Wang Anguo's impression of Bai Ye improved even further.
Indeed, dealing with Taoists was much simpler than dealing with politicians and gangsters.
In such matters, Taoism had always stood by their side.
He still had things to do today, otherwise, he would definitely have pulled Bai Ye for a good drink.
After Wang Anguo left, Zhong Fabai showed Bai Ye some documents he had brought earlier.
Before Bai Ye returned, he had first chatted with Wang Anguo.
"Old man, you mean for me to become the Taoist leader of Hong Kong?!"
This was about choosing a Taoist leader.
Zhong Fabai placed this in front of him; wasn't this telling him to take it?
"It's not just me; in fact, Director Wang also thought so just now. You're already very capable, and the future belongs to you young people."
Although Zhong Fabai was unwilling to admit he was old, compared to Bai Ye, he was nothing.
So he also felt that it might be better to let Bai Ye take over this matter.
The situation in Hong Kong wouldn't be resolved anytime soon.
By the time it was resolved, he would be at retirement age.
"Let me think about it."
This implied a responsibility, and Bai Ye frowned, not immediately agreeing.
If he really took that position, he would probably have too many things to manage in the future.
Of course, not necessarily.
Perhaps with the blessing of luck later, there wouldn't be so many strange occurrences.
"Actually… never mind, you should think about it carefully!"
Although Zhong Fabai wanted to persuade Bai Ye to accept it directly, he eventually gave up.
It mainly depended on what Bai Ye himself thought.
He couldn't impose his own ideas on Bai Ye.
"I'm going to teach the Ghost Hunting Squad now."
Zhong Fabai had recently been training a Ghost Hunting Squad due to Jin Mike and Meng Chao.
"That squad, you should still pay attention. Don't let them get you killed."
With Meng Chao and Jin Mike, those two incompetent teammates.
Jin Mike was a bit better, but Meng Chao was truly a pure incompetent teammate, sometimes even more troublesome than Wencai.
Bai Ye kindly reminded him, hoping he wouldn't get himself into trouble in the end.
"Hey, who do you think I am?"
"You are the King of Ships—bah! You are Zhong Fabai, alright! Ghosts within ten miles have all migrated because of you!"
Bai Ye rubbed his forehead in distress. He felt that Zhong Fabai seemed to really enjoy reminiscing lately.
Perhaps it was because he no longer felt like a teacher in Bai Ye's presence recently.
Zhong Fabai also went to teach that Ghost Hunting Squad.
Ever since Miyake Issey, he, Meng Chao, and Jin Mike had somewhat formed a friendship.
Of course, it was just that Meng Chao and Jin Mike often visited him.
Bai Ye had also seen the two of them a few times.
However, considering the nature of these two, he ultimately didn't dare to get too close.
Bad luck!
And with these two, Zhong Fabai could always show off his knowledge.
Plus, Officer Ah Xin had always invited him to be an Advisor.
Helping to train a Ghost Hunting Squad would make it easier for them to catch ghosts in the future.
When dealing with Miyake Issey, they were completely helpless.
Officer Ah Xin naturally didn't want to see this situation.
And Zhong Fabai was quite happy about it.
After all, on one hand, it was the situation in Hong Kong; there weren't enough people currently. Having a Ghost Hunting Squad would definitely alleviate their pressure.
On the other hand, regarding his own strength, facing evil spirits, it was better to let Bai Ye go; he might not be an opponent.
So, after comprehensive consideration, Zhong Fabai was actually more inclined to teach other young people.
In his opinion, perhaps someone like Bai Ye could be trained later.
Even if not as good as Bai Ye, it would be great if they could grow a bit!
After that incident, this place would also need some Taoists.
"Your master will leave first today."
"Not eating together?"
"I'm not eating!"
Zhong Fabai wasn't blind.
There were two girls in the company, Ah Yi and Pat.
Ah Yi didn't have many thoughts about love; she just wanted to learn with Bai Ye.
Pat, on the other hand, was very keen, but Bai Ye wasn't interested in her. However, that didn't mean both of them had their eyes on Bai Ye.
So, he was pretty much a third wheel here.
"Troublesome."
After Zhong Fabai left, Pat and Ah Yi both came.
Both were very curious about what Wang Anguo and Bai Ye had discussed earlier.
"Boss, want to eat together?"
Pat asked.
"No, I'm planning to eat out today. You two should also go home early."
Bai Ye glanced at the time; it was almost five o'clock.
He casually rejected Pat's invitation to dinner.
He knew Pat's intentions, but he wasn't interested.
"Alright."
Pat looked at Bai Ye's back. Although she already knew Bai Ye would definitely refuse, she still felt a bit disappointed.
"Do you think Boss really doesn't have any feelings for me?"
Pat felt that she wasn't particularly bad-looking.
Especially since she had a pair of long legs, why did the boss seem to have no interest in her at all?
"Perhaps it's because the Boss is a cultivator of the Tao, so he needs to be pure of heart and desire?"
There was no one else around, so Pat's words were clearly for herself.
Ah Yi rubbed her nose and offered her guess.
"You make a good point. If Boss isn't interested in me, then so be it!"
Actually, the reason she wanted to pursue Bai Ye initially was partly because Bai Ye was handsome, and partly because she was saved by Bai Ye.
If Bai Ye hadn't intervened back then, she would have been taken away by Sister Pat.
Every time she thought of this, she still felt lingering fear.
No one could refuse a girl who could bring a sense of security to other girls.
Plus, her personality was more outgoing; she pursued what she liked, which was also what she wanted.
And so, she acted.
However, during this time, she seemed to have realized that Bai Ye wasn't very interested in her.
"Ah Yi?"
"I don't know what to say."
"I knew it…"
Pat rolled her eyes. She knew Ah Yi would say that.
Never mind.
Time to get off work.
At least working here, she no longer had to worry about those things.
As an employee benefit, she also had an exorcism talisman.
It would protect her if she encountered a ghost.
"Let's go home. Don't you have to pick up your brother?"
"En."
Ah Yi nodded. She actually wanted to say more, but years of not communicating led her to not know what to say to Pat.
"Bai Ye, long time no see. These are the materials we've collected recently. Take a look."
At the tea restaurant.
Huang Yaozu handed the documents to Bai Ye.
They had received quite a lot of information recently, as if it had been deliberately given to them.
"Some of these materials haven't been confirmed. Do we need to help with the next action?"
Li Guoqiang picked up where Huang Yaozu left off.
From initially not believing in ghosts to now, he also wanted to try if he could catch ghosts.
He was also eager to prove himself.
When he was transferred to the The Department of Miscellaneous Affairs, it showed that his personality was not quiet.
"If you help… you might be quite dangerous, but my master is also teaching a Ghost Hunting Squad. Are you interested?"
Bai Ye didn't actually need their help.
However, seeing Li Guoqiang like this, he seemed very eager to show off. Although Huang Yaozu didn't speak, he also seemed to have some ideas.
Huang Yaozu's thoughts were simple: he used to want to escape.
After all, he didn't know how to deal with ghosts at all.
And when he killed those possessed by ghosts, his heart was also tormented.
Naturally, he was unwilling to continue staying in the The Department of Miscellaneous Affairs.
"Ghost Hunting Squad?!"
"Is it really possible?"
Bai Ye was already so powerful, so wouldn't his teacher be even more powerful?
Li Guoqiang and Huang Yaozu were both moved simultaneously.
"Of course, if you want, I can recommend you."
After Bai Ye finished speaking, the two agreed without any hesitation.
This world was full of ghosts. If they had more ways to deal with ghosts, they naturally wouldn't be so passive.
After a simple meal, Bai Ye ate while looking at the information.
After Li Guoqiang paid the bill and told Zhong Fabai about their situation, they immediately rushed to the Ghost Hunting Squad.
"Chu Renmei, Curse Paradise, and various associations—I really didn't expect this. Are you trying to work me to death?!"
Bai Ye finally understood.
These high-level ghosts probably wanted him to be a donkey for their production team.
So much information about ghosts just appeared out of thin air; wasn't that just asking him to catch them?
Speaking of which, it seemed these ghosts weren't very harmonious with each other.
"That… you just talked about the Ghost Hunting Squad…"
As Bai Ye was pondering, a voice behind him broke his contemplation.
He turned his head.
When his gaze fell on the person who spoke, that person felt a little nervous the moment their eyes met Bai Ye's.
She then explained, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I just happened to hear about this ghost-hunting matter, so… you believe there are ghosts in this world… and that they can be caught?!"
The woman speaking looked nervous, her expression very tense.
Originally, she didn't have much appetite today, but she hadn't eaten for a long time and was starving, so she chose a tea restaurant.
Now, for her, it had reached a crucial moment.
Although she already had a helper, she always felt a sense of unease in her heart.
"Your face is dark; at a glance, you have a bloody disaster… No, you're haunted by an evil spirit…"
Bai Ye spat, he seemed to be speaking out of turn quite a lot recently.
Why did he feel like he was no different from a charlatan when he said that?
But the woman in front of him was indeed haunted by a ghost.
"You believe?!"
"Of course I believe, because I am a Taoist, and it won't be long… Tonight, you should be used as a substitute by a female ghost, right?!"
Did he encounter a substitute ghost?
Each type of ghost had its own characteristics.
"You know?!"
The woman's face was excited. Then, seeing the gazes of the people around her, she subconsciously shrank back.
Then she got up and sat opposite Bai Ye, saying, "I was too bored before, so I wanted to find a tenant. As a result, because of this, a ghost found me.
She occupied everything of mine, and now she also told me that once it's past midnight and no one remembers me, everything of mine will become hers!"
As she spoke, her face showed a hint of regret.
Every time she thought of this, she wanted to slap herself.
