Chapter 486: Chapter 486: You’re Seeking Your Own Death!
 

Listening to the conversation between Huang Xiaolong and Teacher Zuo, Zhou Yuewen was somewhat mystified, particularly when he heard Teacher Zuo muttering something about “patter patter patter”, which made him even more astonished. “This… Teacher Zuo, what on earth is going on?”

“Zhou… Principal Zhou… I really don’t know what’s happening…” Teacher Zuo said with a grim face.

“Did you buy the adenosma bracteolatum root that I asked you to get?” Huang Xiaolong asked Teacher Zuo.

“I… I bought it…” said Teacher Zuo, sounding extremely anxious.

“If you bought the medicine, then there’s no problem,” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile. “Just do as I instructed – crush it and stuff it down ‘there’. Don’t worry, that lecherous ghost Luo Dahuan won’t bother you anymore.”

Having said that, he gave Zhou Yuewen a pointed look.

Getting the hint, Zhou Yuewen spoke to Teacher Zuo. “Teacher Zuo, as the class advisor, you should attend to the students following an accident… You should hurry and handle it.”

Distressed, Teacher Zuo left the office.

“Master Long, I… I’m completely flabbergasted. How is this matter connected to Teacher Zuo?” a nervous Zhou Yuewen asked.

Huang Xiaolong gave a brief explanation of the situation surrounding Teacher Zuo, and Zhou Yuewen found it so astonishing that it was like listening to a ghost story.

“Oh my! Who would have thought that Luo Dahuan would become such a lewd ghost after his passing, misbehaving every night with Teacher Zuo? It’s really something,” Zhou Yuewen marveled.

“It seems that in the last ten years, two people were expelled from school: one was Yuan Weijie, and the other was Luo Dahuan… We have confirmed that Luo Dahuan has become a lewd ghost. But his resentment isn’t particularly strong and he’s timid and cowardly. The ongoing streak of student suicides within the school has nothing to do with Luo Dahuan,” Huang Xiaolong said with a chuckle.

“Master Long… Are you saying there’s another ghost disturbing our campus besides Luo Dahuan? Maybe… maybe… Yuan Weijie?” Zhou Yuewen stammered nervously. “Master Long, Yuan Weijie committed suicide by poisoning. I’m afraid he may have turned into a fierce ghost!”

“Absolutely a fierce ghost,” Huang Xiaolong stated unequivocally. Afterwards, he contemplated a bit, then asked, “You mentioned earlier that Yuan Weijie didn’t commit suicide on this campus, but at a private high school. What was the name of that school?”

“Hengyuan Private Middle School,” Zhou Yuewen promptly replied.

“Could you do an investigation to see if anything strange has recently occurred in Hengyuan Private Middle School?” Huang Xiaolong requested.

“Okay. Master Long, I’ll look into it right away. But as for our school… With the current situation… After all, two students have already committed suicide by jumping off a building. I’m afraid… I’m afraid this situation might worsen.” Zhou Yuewen turned pale with fear.

Huang Xiaolong wondered to himself, were there only two student deaths?

There were numerous anomalies!

For instance, Wang Jinrong was possessed, savouring feces as if it were a delicacy.

Teacher Zuo was harassed every night by the ghost of Luo Dahuan.

“It seems the situation isn’t serious during the day other than the few casualties. However, at night it’s unpredictable. Starting from today, students living on campus should be sent home, and evening study sessions should be cancelled. After sundown, no one should be in the school,” Huang Xiaolong instructed. “Tonight, I plan on investigating Binhai University’s campus.”

“Ah! Master Long, you truly are selfless. Yes, yes, yes! Let’s eliminate the malicious ghost tonight, punishing evil, and removing harm! Protecting the people!” Principal Zhou immediately felt more at ease upon hearing that Huang Xiaolong was prepared to take action.

“I consider myself a part of this campus. So, this time, I won’t charge any fees. Now go on and check out Hengyuan Private Middle School,” Huang Xiaolong said, dismissively waving at Zhou Yuewen.

Just then, Huang Xiaolong’s phone began to ring.

Huang Xiaolong looked at the incoming call. It was from an unknown number.

He answered the call.

“Hello~~ May I ask if this is Mr. Huang Xiaolong?” On the other end of the line a refined, unhurried voice of a middle-aged man resonated.

Even though Huang Xiaolong could not see the man behind the voice, he could guess that it was a congenial middle-aged man wearing glasses, with the demeanor of a well-educated member of high society.

“Yes, I am Huang Xiaolong. However, it seems I don’t know you, right?” Huang Xiaolong chuckled.

“Ah, Mr. Huang, we haven’t met before. However, to be precise, I have observed you through the footage of a CCTV camera. I admire your admirable conduct,” said the sincere voice of the middle-aged man on the other end of the line.

“Surveillance video?” Huang Xiaolong asked, taken aback. “What surveillance video?”

“Hehe, Mr. Huang, do you remember Ah Hu and Yin Si from Li Lake Street in the Lychee District?” the middle-aged man asked carefully and politely.

Ah Hu from Huahuhu Street and the mahjong master Yin Si who has small ghosts spying on his opponents’ cards at mahjong?

Huang Xiaolong’s expression indicated he now remembered and he immediately thought of something.

‘Oh! I get it! I had originally gone to Ah Hu’s place to settle some gambling debts for Su Xiaoman’s little brother, Su Xiaoqiang. I won several million yuan there. As it turned out, Ah Hu was not the actual owner of the gambling den on Huahuhu Street, there was a big boss behind the scenes. Hmm…So, it seems Ah Hu’s boss has finally come looking for a showdown.’

With this thought in mind, Huang Xiaolong remained calm and even felt like laughing a bit.

Was this really a big deal at all?

Huang Xiaolong had dared to wipe out both the Gao Family of Binhai and the Chen Family of Jiangnan City – he didn’t even give a damn about the ten ancient martial art families… What could a mere owner of a casino do to him?

“Ah, I see. You’re here to get revenge for Ah Hu, right? However, I’m telling you, I won that money fair and square in your casino. What’s the matter, you can’t take a loss?” Huang Xiaolong said sarcastically.

“No, no, Mr. Huang, please don’t get us wrong. We’re just doing business and sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. We can certainly take a loss,” the middle-aged man quickly replied. “However, there are some intricacies here that I believe you may not fully understand, so I gave you a call to explain. My name is Minghui – you can call me Ahui or Old Ming.”

Huang Xiaolong was a bit puzzled!

Listening to “Ahui’s” tone, it didn’t seem like he was picking a fight or seeking revenge, but rather he was very polite, almost as if he was discussing business.

“Just get to the point. I don’t have time to waste chatting,” Huang Xiaolong said impatiently.

At this moment, Zhou Yuewen was looking at Huang Xiaolong in shock, his eyes filled with fear. It seemed that Huang Xiaolong might have discovered something strange when he asked him to investigate Hengyuan Private Middle School.

Huang Xiaolong gave Zhou Yuewen a nod, then prepared to hang up the phone. “I have some pressing matters to attend to, so I’ll have to hang up. If you want to seek revenge, feel free to come find me. I’m sure you must have found my home address in Binhai. I welcome visitors.”

“Mr. Huang, please do not misunderstand. Just give me ten more seconds.” said Ahui politely. “Mr. Huang, Su Xiaoman is your girlfriend, correct? In that case, Su Xiaoqiang would be your brother-in-law. Well… Without your permission, we invited both of them to our club…”

“Oh?” Upon hearing that, Huang Xiaolong’s heart grew cold, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, murderous intent flashed across his body and he sneered, “Are you trying to get yourselves killed?”
