We rushed back to Donghai City overnight.
Upon arriving at the police station, Qin Hai and I went to report to Chen Shan. I was quite happy; after all, this case had been perfectly resolved, so I didn’t feel like I had let Chen Shan and Qin Hai down for helping me with the gun and the coffee shop.
After the report, I planned to return to school when Chen Shan called out to me, “Song Fei, don’t rush back just yet. I want to introduce you to someone.”
I looked at Chen Shan.
At that moment, a middle-aged man carrying a briefcase walked into the office.
“Director Niu, this is Song Fei. He’s the one who solved this case. Song Fei, this is Niu Youcai, the logistics director of East Sea Art Academy,” Chen Shan introduced.
I shook hands with Niu Youcai.
Niu Youcai was very polite and wanted to treat me to a meal.
I declined, saying it was getting late and asked if there was something he needed.
Niu Youcai smiled slightly, “Well… it’s about that issue with Dormitory 505. Master Song, I beg you to help us exorcise the female ghost in the dormitory. It’s a small token of appreciation.” With that, Niu Youcai pressed a stack of cash into my hand.
I was taken aback for a moment but then accepted it immediately. “Alright, Director Niu, you’re too kind. I’ll go to the dormitory tonight to perform the exorcism.”
Niu Youcai nodded and assured me that another ten thousand would be given once the task was completed.
I exchanged pleasantries with Niu Youcai, and then he left.
Looking at the ten thousand yuan in my hand, I felt a rush of excitement!
"Chen Team! Thank you so much!" I called out to Chen Shan, knowing that he was the one who had introduced me to this business opportunity.
Chen Shan laughed heartily and pointed at me, saying, "Song Fei, you're still too young. With your skills, making money shouldn't be difficult for you."
I replied, "Brother Chen, I really want to make money, but I just can't find the opportunities. If anything like this comes up again, you have to introduce me!"
Chen Shan laughed again, clearly pleased. He reached into his desk and handed me a Peach Wood Box. "Here's a Glock Pistol and twenty rounds of ammunition. Take it. And if you want to practice your shooting skills, come find me. I can take you there for half price, plus you'll get an additional twenty rounds of free practice ammunition."
I thanked him immediately. No wonder connections are so important in China; if I hadn't known Chen Shan, I wouldn't have received so many benefits.
After returning to my dormitory, I promptly closed Yang Gou Dan's computer.
Yang Gou Dan jumped up and glared at me.
I grinned and said, "Dog Egg, do you want a computer? A gaming laptop with high specs! Stop playing League of Legends; you can handle even the most demanding games."
Yang Gou Dan immediately responded, "Sure! Are we going to buy a computer?"
I nodded. "Yes, but before we buy the computer, you need to come with me to take care of something."
Without a second thought, Yang Gou Dan agreed.
I took Yang Gou Dan to the East Sea Art Academy, lit a stick of incense, and summoned the Red Pajama Ghost. Then, with ease, Yang Gou Dan helped her move on.
I ordered a new computer for Yang Gou Dan online. She was quite frustrated, wondering why I didn't just buy it directly. My Shenzhou computer doesn't have physical stores, so I could only purchase it online. The delivery by SF Express was quick; it arrived in three days.
Yang Gou Dan didn't complain further.
Sure enough, on the second day, I received another ten thousand yuan from Director Niu!
It was truly effortless!
My mood finally improved.
In the following days, I remained busy. Through Qin Hai's introduction, I enrolled in an accelerated driving course and also had to practice shooting at the range. During my free time, I reviewed all my subjects in preparation for the final exams and worked on my physical fitness. In the meantime, I cleaned the coffee shop from top to bottom.
During this period, I was very cautious. I learned to walk with a hat on, stay close to the edge of the sidewalk, observe my surroundings at all times, and practice counter-surveillance. In short, I was terrified that someone might come to kill me.
Overall, I was very busy; I often went to bed around one in the morning and got up at six.
However, despite being so busy, I felt great mentally. The corpse of that Fox Spirit had greatly helped me; I could clearly feel that my strength, physique, and speed had all improved somewhat.
I completely devoured the entire fox, even grinding its bones into powder and swallowing it all.
Soon, the final exams arrived. My academic performance was quite good, mainly because students in our major generally didn't care much about studying. Many of them were like Chi Xiang, who had hardly attended a single class and spent most of his time playing games and flirting.
A little over a month later, the heat intensified, and school began its summer break.
Chi Xiang stayed in the dormitory instead of going home, playing games with Yang Gou Dan. He had installed an air conditioner in their room, which was honestly quite refreshing.
I kept trying to gather information about Professor Zhao Jian, but there had been no news at all.
Feeling that there was no immediate danger, I decided to open my coffee shop. Previously named Blue Mood, I thought it sounded too artsy and melancholic, so I changed it to Feiyun Coffee House. The new name incorporated a character from my name and a homophone from Sister Wang's name.
Now that it was summer vacation, business at the coffee shop was naturally slow since most of the customers were students.
However, I wasn't planning to make a profit just yet; I simply wanted to keep it running for now since I had nothing else to do. Moreover, the shop needed staff, so I planned to hire a full-time employee or recruit two student part-timers.
During the summer break, I also obtained my driver's license. In my spare time, I exercised regularly and often browsed online for books about ghost-catching. More importantly, I searched for information about the Cosmic Pendant and the Witch Clan.
While Chi Xiang and Yang Gou Dan were busy gaming in their dormitory, I felt a bit neglected. The key issue was that there were hardly any customers at the coffee shop.
I decided to text Liu Yiyi to see if she had some free time to come by my café for a visit.
Liu Yiyi seemed incredibly busy; she could hardly find time to enjoy a cup of coffee.
I sighed, feeling a bit down, and continued searching for information about the Witch Clan.
Later that evening, my phone rang. I answered it, and I heard Qin Yuan's voice on the other end. "Song Fei, let's have dinner together tonight."
I recalled our previous encounter in the nurse's station with Qin Yuan, and my heart stirred a little. Plus, having just been rejected by Liu Yiyi, I quickly agreed. "Sure, I'll treat you."
"No need for that. Just come to my dormitory, hee hee." Qin Yuan sent me an address.
After tidying myself up a bit, I headed towards Qin Yuan's dormitory.
Qin Yuan lived in a Double Occupancy Dormitory, but her roommate had been absent for a long time, so she was usually alone there.
When I entered the room, I found Qin Yuan in the kitchen wearing an apron and cooking.
I asked, "What’s the occasion? Why did you decide to invite me for dinner? And wow, there's fish and chicken—this is quite a feast!"
Qin Yuan winked at me with a smile. "Just wait a moment."
Once the meal was ready, Qin Yuan took out a bottle of red wine, and we toasted together. After a few glasses with her, I noticed her eyes were getting red. "Song Fei, do you know what day it is today?"
"Huh? No idea. Is it your birthday?" I replied.
Qin Yuan nodded. "See? You remember, but Zhao Ke doesn’t even recall. That bastard must be out fooling around with some woman again!"
I was a bit speechless and just laughed, "So you've been lazing around at home?"
Qin Yuan chuckled, "Yeah, exactly, I've just been hanging out at home."
We joked back and forth, both of us getting more tipsy as we drank. Eventually, I found Qin Yuan lying in my arms, sipping her drink.
My hand slipped under her shirt, and she laughed, saying my hands were too cold and needed to be warmed up under the covers. So, we both groggily crawled into the blanket and started to fumble around…
When I woke up, my head was pounding. I looked outside; it was pitch black. Shaking my head to clear the fog, I glanced beside me and saw a curvy girl lying on my arm, making it numb.
Suddenly, memories of last night flooded back to me, and my face turned red. I quickly climbed out of bed, put on my clothes, grabbed my backpack, and headed out. After all, Qin Yuan had a boyfriend; it was really unethical for me to openly cuckold Zhao Ke like this.
After having breakfast, I returned to the café where the light had brightened up.
Once I reached the bedroom at the back of the café, I lay down for a moment before my phone rang.
I checked; it was a call from Qin Yuan. After thinking for a moment about how to explain things, I put the phone to my ear. Just as I was about to speak, Qin Yuan's anxious voice came through: "Song Fei, Zhao Ke is dead!"
"What! Zhao Ke is dead!" I sat up abruptly from the bed, feeling dazed. A wave of guilt washed over me.
Although I had only met Zhao Ke once, I had slept with his girlfriend last night, and now I was receiving news of his death this morning. This… was too much for me to handle.
Qin Yuan and I fell silent for a moment before I asked, "What… happened?"
Qin Yuan's voice was a bit low as she said, "Song Fei, can you come here for a moment? I'm... I'm feeling a bit scared right now."
"Okay, just wait for me in the dorm."
I changed my clothes, grabbed my bag, and headed towards Qin Yuan's dorm. I'm not a good Samaritan, nor am I infatuated; I don't feel the need to protect or pity every woman. But after all, I am a man, a responsible one at that. Just last night, I had been intimate with Qin Yuan, so it was impossible for me not to check on her today.
I stood at the door of Qin Yuan's dorm for a moment before pushing the door open and stepping inside.
Inside the room, Qin Yuan was curled up in bed wearing only her underwear, staring blankly at the ceiling. When she saw me, she managed a faint smile.
I walked over and naturally wrapped my arms around Qin Yuan. This embrace had nothing to do with lust; although her figure was quite appealing at that moment, neither of us was in the mood to think about such things.
"What exactly happened? You can tell me; there's no need to be afraid," I asked.
