Midnight Bookstore Chapter 165 – Dad!

The big shots had their own plans, while the little ones had their own goals. Most of the time, there was no contradiction between the two.

Zhou Ze didn't know how much of the Sea God's part was in the rich old man's story. Perhaps, one day, when boss Zhou earned enough money and felt that he could enjoy the atmosphere of buying a yacht and floating on the sea.., perhaps he could find an answer.

What he needed to do now was to strangle the Japanese priest who had been causing trouble from the beginning to the end, and then send him to the crematorium to be cremated. After that, he would mix his ashes with curry chicken leg rice.

According to the navigation, Zhou Ze drove the car to the entrance of an old residential area. This residential area should have been built by a public institution a long time ago. It was about to be demolished, and most of the residents had been moved out. It seemed a little dilapidated and messy, however, there were still a few houses that still had people living in them.

It was already summer in Tongcheng, but when you walked in here, you could feel a slight chill. This was not the influence of ghosts or monsters. It was just a special psychological hint given by a place with few people.

“The room on the left of the third floor is occupied by a young man who works in Tongcheng. He rented a house,”the Little Loli explained.

Zhou ze nodded and walked up without much hesitation. Although he wasn't sure if the priest was inside yet, it would be a bit too silly if the three of them just waited there foolishly.

When they reached the third floor, the door was locked. Zhou Ze opened the door with his fingernails. After pushing it open, he found that the room was spotless. It was so clean that it was a little out of place.

It was impossible for a place where people lived to be so clean. There was not even a speck of dust in every corner. Even the most considerate cleaning company could not do this.

The walls,

the tiles,

the windowsill,

even the toilet was glowing.

Bai Yingying looked at the situation inside and suddenly felt a little worried. She knew that her boss was a germaphobe, so she was afraid that her boss would like the cleanliness of this place and use this method to ask her and the old Taoist to make the study room so clean.

If that was the case, in the future, besides sleeping with her boss, she would have to keep cleaning, and she would not even have time to eat chicken.

There was no one in the room. Even a small set could not hide a person.

Zhou ze squatted down and scratched his nails on the tiles. Then, he looked at the gaps between his nails. There was a crystal-like substance.

Yes..,

that was the reason why the room was so clean. It wasn't because it was cleaned so well. It was because there was a layer of wax-like substance attached to it, giving the illusion that it was very clean.

Even the bedding on the bed was attached to this thing.

“She's not here,”the Little Loli said.

“I'm Not Blind,”Zhou Ze replied.

“Then go to the next place?”

The Little Loli shrugged. Finding the Japanese priest was the first task Zhou Ze gave her. She had been monitoring and tracking him for a long time and had put in a lot of effort. If she didn't succeed when she pulled in the net.., then all her previous efforts would have been in vain.

It was a thankless effort. She had done so much but all her efforts had been for naught. She could not compare to this stupid zombie who only knew how to “Moan”foolishly next to her to increase her favorability.

“Smack.”

The Little Loli slapped herself,

what the hell am I thinking?

“What are you doing?”Bai Yingying asked the Little Loli.

“Killing mosquitoes.”

Bai Yingying shook her head,

did you forget that it was a spirit body that came today? Killing Mosquitoes?

“That person should be back soon.”Zhou ze pointed at the stove.

Although it was called a stove, it was actually just an induction cooker placed on the small table. Beside it were some condiments and onions, ginger, and garlic.

This was because Zhou Ze noticed that in the entire room, only this area was not stained with that kind of wax oil, which meant that it had just been used. There were also cut-up side dishes on the chopping board.

Perhaps the other party had cut up the side dishes when she was cooking, but she remembered that she had not bought any vegetables.

Alright, this explanation was a little silly, but from the looks of it, there was really such a possibility.

“Go outside and wait a little longer.”

Zhou ze closed the door and stood at the entrance of the corridor.

The Little Loli's soul slowly floated up, and she sat on the railing. Her calves swayed, looking extremely innocent and adorable.

Bai Yingying pouted. She didn't know why, but she was certain that this little loli would eventually walk down the path of competing with her for affection. Perhaps, this was the perception of a woman.

Therefore, Bai Yingying didn't want to be outdone. She held the railing with both hands, as if she was looking at the scenery in the distance. However, the curves behind her were clearly accentuated, as if the door had been opened since the beginning.

Zhou Ze stood for a while, then sat down on the steps next to them with his back facing the two competing women. He lit a cigarette.

Actually..,

sometimes, when he thought about it..,

boss Zhou did not have a bad life in his previous life. However, he was already 30 years old, but he had always been single. He had never been in a relationship. This was not without reason.

Back then, even if doctor Lin did not have the temperament and maturity that he had now, he was definitely not bad. Moreover, he had the admiration of a little fangirl. In the end, he could not even remember the other party's name, he used it purely as a medical dog assigned to his underlings as an intern.

Such a person did not want to live alone,

who wanted to live alone?

The two women, one big and one small, were competing for attention. Now, they felt like they were performing for a blind person. At that moment, the two women calmed down.

After smoking a cigarette, Zhou ze thought of Old Xu. Since he was only waiting for someone, Zhou Ze took the time to give old Xu a call.

Old Xu was still young in terms of relationships. He was still a virgin, so it was inevitable that he would be overly focused. He probably didn't feel very good after that woman died.

The call connected, and a weak “Hello”came from the other end.

“Are you okay?”Zhou ze asked.

“I'm fine.”

“Take it easy.”

“Okay.”

“There are some things that can only be considered as an experience or a memory in your life. You'll understand it in the future.”

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone,

zhou ze thought that Xu Qinglang was sad and touched by his comforting words. But after a while, Xu Qinglang slightly raised his voice and replied,

“You've been there before?”

This was a rhetorical question.

We're both young girls, and I even had a virgin. Are you here to comfort me?

“I'm married,”Zhou Ze reminded.

Xu Qinglang fell silent again. He suddenly felt that Zhou Ze was the most shameless person he had ever met in his life.

“I'm about to get a divorce,”Zhou Ze said again.

At this time, the BGM of “Pruning plum”should have sounded, bringing out boss Zhou's melancholy and story.

Xu Qinglang continued to be silent. This shameless level had risen another level.

Forcefully adding drama to his story and adding vicissitudes to his life?

For a moment, Old Xu did not know how to refute.

“In any case, take it easy.”

After saying that, Zhou ze hung up the phone. He felt that if the call continued, the angry old Xu would start to fight back.

Well, this kind of false comfort was actually an act of adding salt to the wound!

“Someone is coming.”

Bai Yingying said.

Because there were very few people living in this building, there were very few people passing by. Now, a man in a white short-sleeved shirt was carrying a plastic bag and walking towards them. It was very likely that he was the person they were looking for.

Zhou ze turned sideways and looked down.

As expected, the young man carried the plastic bag and started walking up the stairs.

There was nothing unusual about the man. His fair face and delicate skin gave people a feeling of a weakened version of Xu Qinglang.

Zhou Ze felt that there seemed to be something wrong with his aesthetic judgment. Other men would habitually compare women outside with their wives when they were looking at women outside.

But now, when he was looking at men outside, he habitually compared those pretty-looking pretty-looking pretty-looking pretty-looking men with Xu Qinglang.

The plastic bag in the man's hand was heavy. When he walked up, he first saw Zhou Ze sitting on the steps, and then saw Bai Yingying standing by the railing.

In the end..,

he looked at the Little Loli sitting on the railing and swaying her legs,

he deliberately looked at the Little Loli a few more times, and his face revealed a covetous look.

“It's him.”

The Little Loli said.

She was a spirit body,

there was definitely something wrong with someone who could see her.

Bai Yingying took a step forward and tried to grab the man's shoulder. The man suddenly took a step back and threw the plastic bag in his hand at her. Bai Yingying reached out to open the plastic bag, and more than ten pig trotters fell to the ground.

“Crack…”

Bai Yingying's fingers grabbed the man's shoulder, but the man did not retreat but instead advanced.

With a “Buzz”, Bai Yingying did not move. She was much stronger than the man, but the man's imposing manner and reaction made Bai Yingying unprepared.

The fingers that were grabbing the man's shoulder instantly loosened.

So slippery..,

not only was his skin slippery..,

even the clothes on his body were slippery!

The man flipped over and wanted to jump down the stairs to escape. However, Zhou Ze, who was sitting on the stairs, stretched out his hand at this moment. His fingernails instantly grew out and pierced into the man's calf.

“Ah!”

The man let out a scream and fell to the ground. Zhou Ze went forward and grabbed the other party's neck with his fingers.

The man's body kept twitching. It was probably because the damage from Zhou Ze's fingernail was still brewing.

The Little Loli floated up and came in front of the man.

The man rolled his eyes. He looked at Zhou Ze with fear and horror in his eyes. He seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't even speak clearly. He could only keep saying,

“Ah Ah… Ah Ah… Ah Ah…”

“Where is that Japanese priest?”Zhou ze asked.

“Ah Ah… Ah Ah… Ah Ah…”

“Can you speak properly? If you can't speak, I can only deal with you.”

“Ah Ah… Ah Ah… Ah Ah…”

The Little Loli lowered her head and put her hand on the man's throat as if she was listening to something.

“Translate what he said,”Zhou Ze asked.

The Little Loli frowned in disbelief,

then, she looked at Zhou Ze and said,

“He's calling you…”

“Daddy?”
