Genres:Urban Romance Last update:25/03/24 17:41:27
    Ghost cars roar and travel on the road back to the psychiatric hospital.

    The ghost cars may be driving smoothly and steadily.

    However, the baby ghost car is suffering in its heart.

    It's just a ghost car that has just gained spirituality.

    Unfortunately, it met Zhou Jin and a ghost officer right after its birth.

    It's a soul that is free-spirited and unrestrained, yearning for freedom.

    But now it is only subordinate to the immoral power of Zhou Jin and Bai Lu, becoming a common family car.

    Even though Zhou Jin possesses a power that makes the ghost car feel extremely comfortable, compared to freedom, what is that worth!

    Tdit!

    The horn rings out, waking up Zhou Jin who is still admiring the convenience of the ghost car.

    Zhou Jin looks up and out the car window, only to realize that the ghost car has already brought her to the entrance of the psychiatric hospital.

    "It's so fast, so convenient!"

    Zhou Jin can't help but make a sound of wonder.

    Aside from the supernatural events that have happened in this car, it's actually quite nice.

    Moreover, the best part is that this car doesn't cost anything!

    That would immediately eliminate the car loan for the next ten years!

    With this money-saving mindset, Zhou Jin, against the strong resistance of the ghost car, reached out and pulled out the key from the ghost car.

    You Shu Liu did say before he left that as long as he held this key, the ghost car would be at Zhou Jin's service.

    This is a treasure and should absolutely not be lost.

    Putting the ghost car's key into her pants pocket, Zhou Jin was very satisfied as she led Bai Lu out of the car.

    "Zhou sister! You're finally back, the police have been waiting for you all day."

    The front desk girl was still waiting anxiously at the door, and upon seeing Zhou Jin, immediately approached her.

    "No problem, no problem, it was just an accident. I'll resubmit the documents to you in a bit."

    Zhou Jin casually chuckled and said since she had the ghost car as a confidentiality fee, she naturally had to take the blame for taking White Lu out without permission.

    The front desk girl looked resentful but, seeing that White Lu was unharmed, didn't continue to pursue the matter.

    The three of them soon entered the psychiatric hospital.

    "Good to see you again, Zhou Nurse!"

    To Zhou Jin's surprise, the "police" girl was referring to was actually the patient's family that Zhou Jin had just met in the morning, Lu Jianian.

    "You're... a cop?"

    At this moment, Lu Jianian has changed into a police uniform, accompanied by a colleague in the same uniform standing next to him.

    This made Zhou Jin momentarily unsure how to address him.

    She couldn't very well call him "uncle cop," could she?

    "Hmm, yes, I was just assigned to the headquarters of Zhongyuan City a week ago, and currently hold the position of deputy director of the Zhongyuan City Police Bureau."

    Lu Jianian offered a friendly handshake.

    Like Bai Lu's, his hand had distinct knuckles, but it was slightly rougher.

    Such a young vice director, impressive my brother.

    Zhou Jin silently mocked herself in her mind and quickly went up to shake hands with Lu Jianian.

    According to Lu Nianwei's admission information, this brother of Lu Jianian is only 27 years old this year.

    Being a deputy director at the police station at the age of 27 already is quite impressive. What kind of background does he have?

    A remarkable big person!

    "This is the missing patient, right? Although they've returned, we still need to go through the proper procedures. Zhou Nurse, are you okay with that?"

    Lu Jianian is taller by half a head than Zhou Jin, and is about the same height as Bai Lu.

    Therefore, the two of them could easily see each other by going over Zhou Jin's head.

    That's a bit impolite, isn't it?

    Seeing Lu Jianian's gaze, Zhou Jin felt offended and muttered to herself again, but nodded obediently with her body.

    Soon, Lu Jianian and his colleague separated Zhou Jin from Bai Lu, taking them to different sides for questioning.

    To accommodate Bai Lu's status as a patient, Lu Jianian even had a nurse on standby to provide continuous care, which was a warm gesture that inadvertently made Zhou Jin look up to him.

    "Sit down."

    Zhou Jin led Lu Jianian into a room on the first floor, which was not used for patients to live in.

    It was specifically used for doctors and nurses to handle minor injuries and illnesses.

    Things like minor injuries or illnesses caused by patients can be treated here in a simple way.

    At the moment, there was no one in the room, so it was a perfect place to question Lu Jianian.

    Click.

    As soon as Zhou Jin entered the ward, she saw Lu Jianian unlock the door and turn off the lights in the ward.

    "What are you going to do?"

    Although Zhou Jin hadn't experienced police questioning before, after watching so many short videos, she was sure that the proper procedure was not what was happening now. Her body subconsciously went into self-defense mode.

    "Yes."

    To Zhou Jin's surprise, Lu Jianian did not answer her question but instead pointed towards Zhou Jin's lower body with his hand,

    "When I met you this morning, I thought there was something off about you. Now it looks like my instincts were right — you're a ghost!"

    The curtains in the ward are blackout curtains, which are normally closed. With the lights off and the door open, the only light in the ward comes from a faint glimmer of light through the window.

    Unfortunately, Lu Jianian's tall frame completely blocked the window, making the room even darker.

    Hearing Lu Jianian's words and seeing his finger pointing, Zhou Jin subconsciously lowered her head.

    She saw that a faint glimmer of light appeared at her pants pocket in the pitch-black room.

    It seems that the ghost beside you is a newborn one, which can't hide its presence and scent well yet. That's your fault."

    Lu Jianian was standing in a position that was backlit for Zhou Jin, so she couldn't see any changes in his expression.

    However, just from listening to Lu Jianian's tone, Zhou Jin could sense that this person wasn't being friendly towards her, perhaps even treating her like a criminal.

    "So what?"

    Not knowing Lu Jianian's attitude, combined with Zhou Jin's lack of fondness for him, and now being interrogated like a criminal, this made her tone unkind as well.

    "Hmm? It seems that Zhou Nurse is misunderstanding. There's nothing to it."

    Click, Lu Jianian turned on the light with his backhand and gave Zhou Jin a slight smile.

    This action from Lu Jianian actually left Zhou Jin at a loss.

    Zhou Jin couldn't understand why Lu Jianian was acting so friendly after just being pushy a moment ago.

    Could it be that this Lu Jianian is also dissociative, just like his sister?

    "It seems that Zhou Nurse really knows nothing. Well, since there's no harm done, I'll just explain it properly to you."

    Lu Jianian pulled over a chair and sat down in front of Zhou Jin casually.

    In Zhou Jin's puzzled gaze, Lu Jianian waved his hand in the air and a spark of fire suddenly shot up from the tip of his finger.

    "Can I smoke here?"

    Lu Jianian flipped his hand in the air again, and a cigarette appeared like a flame, being casually held in his mouth, waiting for Zhou Jin's permission.
