Chapter 940: Chapter 940 - The Detective That Could See Ghost (20)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ming Shu said the baby was a stillborn, which would make anyone angry.

Not to mention that the mayor just lost his son.

The baby in his daughter-in-law’s belly was his son’s blood kin.

The mayor’s face looked very gloomy and he stared at Ming Shu. “Consultant Qian, what did you mean by saying something like that just now?”

Ming Shu held the grapes. “Literal meaning.”

The mayor: “...”

“She won’t talk nonsense, your honor, perhaps you should listen to her explanation.” Gu Zhi spoke for Ming Shu.

F**k. He didn’t pay attention to her only for a moment.

Then she caused trouble for him.

I’d better lock her at home!

So angry!

“There’s nothing to explain. Just go to the hospital for an examination if you don’t believe me.” Long speeches were rather a waste of energy, and they wouldn’t necessarily believe what she was going to say. So a medical examination would be faster.

Now Gu Zhi didn’t know how to redeem her in the mayor’s eyes.

She was...

Asking for trouble.

But he still needed to protect his own wife.

Gu Zhi had to face the music and pulled the mayor to one side so as to make him forget Ming Shu for a while.

For Gu Zhi’s sake, the mayor didn’t immediately hold Ming Shu accountable. But if the examination came out fine, he was not going to let it go.

“Are you sure?”

Gu Zhi asked her anxiously on the way to the hospital.

Ming Shu asked back, “Do you believe in me?”

Gu Zhi answered without hesitation, “Of course I believe in you.”

Even if his wife said the world was square, he would have to believe in her.

Otherwise how could he win her heart?

Winning a girl over required such awareness.

“That’ll save everything else.”

Ming Shu shoved the remaining grapes into Gu Zhi’s mouth at one go.

Gu Zhi: !!

My wife fed me food just now?

Ming Shu’s finger touched his lips and Gu Zhi swallowed.

But his teeth broke a grape and the sour taste spread in his mouth in an instant.

The taste...

How did she just eat it with a straight face?

F**k. I knew it. How could she suddenly be so kind and share food with me?

She’s actually my one true wife!

Gu Zhi wanted to spit them out, but Ming Shu just looked at him faintly.

He had to humbly swallow them all.

There was only Ming Shu and Gu Zhi in the car, and the divider was also down. So after Gu Zhi swallowed the grapes, he pulled Ming Shu into his arms and kissed her.

He breathed, “My wife tastes sweet.”

Ming Shu was as calm as always. “Of course, I’ve just eaten candy.”

Gu Zhi: “...”

Get out!

Screw you!

Do you think it’s easy for me to brew emotion? You just ruined it with one sentence!

We’ll break up.

We must!

Gu Zhi released Ming Shu and turned his head to look outside the window.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He was angry now and needed caring attention.

However, our straight girl couldn’t get his point and just sat there eating her candies leisurely.

Gu Zhi remained angry all the way to the hospital.

Ming Shu knew he was angry, of course, but from the mayor’s perspective, Gu Zhi was just gloomy.

He felt a little puzzled. But what was more important now was his grandson in his daughter-in-law’s belly.

...

The mayor’s hands were shaking after he got the report.

How could this be!

The fetus was fine when they checked it last month. How did it come to be stillborn?

“We suggest a surgery as soon as possible, otherwise the mother will also be hurt,” the doctor reminded seriously.

The mayor looked at his pale-faced daughter-in-law. “What is going on!”

The daughter-in-law shook her head. She didn’t know what happened, either.

Due to her husband’s death, she hadn’t had time to come to the hospital for a check-up in a month.

“Say something!”

“I... I don’t know.” The daughter-in-law covered her face and cried.

The mayor continued to roar, but his daughter-in-law fainted.

The baby died on the vine. The mayor was angry, but he could only sign the consent form for operation with shaking hands.

He lost his son, and now his grandson.

“Consultant Qian...” After all this, the mayor looked years older. “How did you know the baby was... stillborn?”

Now he dared not look down upon Ming Shu any longer.

“I saw it.”

“You saw it?” How?

Ming Shu sat casually in a chair outside the operating room, with no intention of further explanation.

The mayor paced to and fro. “Consultant Qian, do you think... the baby was murdered?”

“It depends on the fetus that’ll be taken out later.” Stillbirth was not necessarily man-made, it could also be that the fetus stopped developing on its own.

Ming Shu’s answer made the mayor even more restless.

Two people had died in his family.

Now he couldn’t even keep his son’s offspring.

Who could be so vicious...

To do this to him.

The operation went well, but the doctor looked a little hideous as if having seen something unbelievable.

Ming Shu asked to see the fetus.

The stillborn was placed on a tray.

A three-month-old fetus was already humanoid in form, but some organs were still not fully developed and looked ugly.

This stillborn on the tray here...

Couldn’t just be described as ugly.

It was dark, fetid, and its features were very vague.

Just then, a dark shadow floated out of the stillborn.

It was an infant. He took a look at Ming Shu, then opened his mouth and gave her a weird smile.

“An infant spirit.”

“What?” Gu Zhi didn’t see anything and asked subconsciously after hearing Ming Shu’s voice.

Ming Shu pulled Gu Zhi behind her and looked at the infant spirit crawling on the stillborn.

This was by no means a newborn infant spirit.

The infant spirit appeared to be at least ten months old.

It slowly climbed to the ground, as if it was not afraid that Ming Shu would catch it.

Waiting for it to reach the ground, Ming Shu lifted her foot and stepped on it.

But the infant spirit only showed a sneering look and continued to climb forward.

The next second, piercing screams sounded.

The lights in the operating room began to flicker, and the lights went on and off constantly.

The surrounding temperature dropped abruptly.

Gu Zhi felt it.

He exchanged for a tool from the system and could now see Ming Shu step on the infant spirit.

Gu Zhi: “...”

F**k. There are really ghosts in this world.

My wife is so violent!

Ming Shu squatted down and looked at the infant spirit under her foot. “Did you kill that baby?”

It seemed the Host had a little bit of a misunderstanding of the ghosts in this world.

The ghosts here could harm people, obviously.

The infant spirit struggled with its body, making terrible cries, and its eyes stared at Ming Shu maliciously.

Ming Shu took a scalpel and poked it. “Answer the question, no crying.”

“Yiiyaa...”

“Speak human language.”

“Yiiyaahh!”

“...”

Gu Zhi: “...” Wife, apparently this thing doesn’t speak human language!

With sadness, Ming Shu took a candy from her pocket. The infant spirit may have died at ten months, so it didn’t seem strange that it couldn’t speak human language.

But how could they communicate then?

I don’t speak ghost language!

She pulled the bedclothes and placed them on the infant spirit, then lifted her foot and stood up.

Gu Zhi took a step back.

Ming Shu looked at him, but Gu Zhi had to pretend not to know anything. “What are you doing?”

Ming Shu deliberately led the infant spirit to him. Gu Zhi and the infant spirit stared at each other, and the former struggled to resist the urge to step back.

The infant spirit’s hands were not tied, though. When approaching Gu Zhi, it reached out and tried to hold Gu Zhi.

Gu Zhi: “...” F**k. I’ll cut your hands off if you dare ruin my character setting!

The infant spirit continued its hard work.

Ming Shu suddenly shook it aside and smashed the infant spirit onto the operating table. Shrill cries sounded.

The lights in the operating room flickered even more fiercely.
