Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

This woman's name is cuihua?

Zhou ze chuckled in his heart,

this name really suited this silly girl.

Lawyer an immediately took cuihua from old Zhang's hands. He took a glance at the injuries on her body and said in astonishment,

“Cuihua, which F * cking dog stabbed you to this State!”

“…”Zhou Ze.

Then..,

lawyer an seemed to have thought of something,

he immediately shook his head,

he said,

“I'll treat you first.”

As soon as he finished speaking, lawyer an carried cuihua upstairs.

“Boss, who is that woman?”Bai Yingying handed Zhou Ze a warm towel and asked.

“A silly girl who just escaped from Hell. I almost fell into her hands.”

Even now, Zhou Ze still had some lingering fear when he recalled the strong wind that the silly girl had created.

He insisted on not undoing the seal, but it could be said that it was a close call at that time.

“Ah, boss, your hands!”

Seeing Zhou Ze's two bloody fingers, Bai Yingying's heart ached terribly. The fingernail at the fingertip was gone, and it was still bleeding.

“Ugh…”

Zhou Ze felt that his fingers had entered a warm, humid place, and his naughty tongue was jumping up and down.

Yingying had already put her injured fingers into her mouth.

After a long while, Yingying took out Zhou Ze's fingers and asked with great heartache,

“Boss, does it still hurt?”

“Silly Girl.”

Zhou ze reached out and touched Yingying's head:

“Of course it still hurts.”

“…”Yingying.

The Little Loli sitting at the bar counter rolled her eyes,

i can't afford to offend RBQ,

this F * cking straight man is really a steel-like man who uses his hard power to force himself to be single..

If I hadn't met that stupid zombie and that doctor with the m-constitution..,

this guy would never have a woman in his life.

Bai Yingying helped Zhou Ze bandage his wound. After everything was taken care of, Zhou Ze walked up the stairs, wanting to see “Cuihua.”.

If it weren't for lawyer an's attitude of knowing that woman..,

zhou Ze would have gone up now to cut a few more holes in that woman's body.

In this regard, boss Zhou had no intention of showing mercy to the fairer sex.

The little monkey jumped onto Zhou Ze's shoulder from the beam. It was obvious that it was thinking of the old priest by crying.

Zhou ze reached out his hand and patted the monkey's head,

he said:

“Don't be anxious. The old priest will appear in court for the trial tomorrow. We will take action tomorrow.”

The monkey nodded. It was still very sensible.

“The old priest is locked inside. As the boss, I Can't sleep or eat well either.”

Zhou Ze looked worried.

Monkey reached out and hugged Zhou Ze's neck, comforting him instead.

“By the way, the woman I brought might be of some use to you. I'll let you give it a try first. If you can recover a portion of your strength from your previous life, I can let you participate in the prison break tomorrow.”

If the effect was good, Zhou Ze would get the Little Loli to bring back the white fox.

Zhou Ze really didn't think that there were too many of these great demons. If it was purely to keep a pet, then forget it.

He went up to the second floor and pushed open lawyer an's door. Zhou Ze saw lawyer an sitting by Cuihua's bed. The wounds on Cuihua's body had been treated by lawyer an. In addition to this woman's terrifying recovery ability, she looked much better now.

“Do you know her?”

Zhou ze asked.

Lawyer an nodded.

“She almost killed me,”Zhou Ze said.

“I apologize to you on her behalf. I also thank you for not killing her and even bringing her back to treat her injuries.”

“Well…”Zhou ze nodded and said, “Sometimes I'm too soft-hearted and can't bear to kill women.”

“She's a servant girl under old fourth Feng,”lawyer an said.

“I thought you were that old fourth.”

“Hehe.”

Lawyer an shook his head. “A few years ago, old fourth Feng was my servant, just like your relationship with Lin Ke.”

“I think this must be a story full of conspiracies and betrayals, the tearing of friendship and interests.”

Lawyer an sighed and nodded. “You can say that. Old Four was my subordinate back then. Cuihua was the soul of a servant girl who was found buried with her in an ancient tomb. She was nourished by the ancient tomb's feng shui for thousands of years and was brought along by old four.”

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

“Yes?”

“Yes?”

“Continue, my ass.”

Zhou Ze sat down on the chair beside him,

he was waiting to hear a story.

“Continue what?”

“Continue telling the wonderful story of how you were cheated out of your official position and ended up like this.”

“…”lawyer an.

“Go Ahead, you didn't want to tell me in the past, but now you can tell me.”

“But I still don't want to tell you. It's not something glorious.”

“If you don't say it, we can't keep this woman.”Zhou ze pointed at cuihua, who was still lying in bed, “I have to know what kind of person the master four and Feng four are. I have to decide how to deal with this matter.”

“Boss, this woman and I know each other. Can't you show Mercy?”

“That night, on the tree outside the apartment building where the old priest was in trouble, did you show Mercy?”

A smile appeared on Zhou Ze's lips.

Lawyer an's eyes narrowed,

he was a little surprised,

and also a little shocked,

so..,

what happened that night..,

the Boss had long noticed it.

Indeed, he had chosen to let this disappointing boss “Live and die”that night. Although it was not intentional betrayal, the relationship between them who used each other was clearly torn apart.

The current him, of course, had no reason to ask Zhou Ze to take responsibility for his matter.

“Alright, I'll speak.”Lawyer an looked at cuihua on the bed, “Feng Si is the most talented one I've ever met. He comes from the righteous path, which is the type of sect like Mount Lao, Mount Longhu, and Mount Mao that is commonly used in those ghost novels on the bookshelves downstairs. Of course, there isn't such a sect in the real world.

“However, there is indeed a group of people in the real world who really have the ability to fight against ghosts and gods. The scabby-headed monk you met back then is one of them.

“Feng Si was a mystic cultivator when he was alive. After he became a ghost errand boy, I don't know how he managed to find a way to improve his cultivation by leaps and bounds.

“It's also because of this reason that I took him in as my ghost errand boy.

“Later, I became a police constable and became a patrol inspector. He soon became a patrol inspector as well, and he became my equal. Our relationship is actually quite good.”

“Continue. Gao Chao is here. Continue, don't Stop.”

“Later, I committed a crime and became like this.”

“…”Zhou Ze.

Boss Zhou stood up,

he walked to the bedside,

although two of his fingers were bandaged and his right arm was still broken, boss Zhou still had three fingernails to use.

“Boss, what are you doing?”

“Don't Stop Me, I'm going to stab her to death!”

“…”lawyer an.

“At that time, I helped a prisoner in the 18th level of hell pass the message and was discovered.”Lawyer an told the truth. “Later, the officials of the underworld started to hunt me down because I broke the taboo.

“You might not know what the 18th level of hell is exactly. It's similar to the 'Qin city prison'in the real world.

“What I did at that time was indeed a major crime.

“At that time, a judge personally took action and severely injured me. After that, he continued to hunt me down and almost forced me into a desperate situation.

“In the middle of the Yellow Springs Road, when I was almost exhausted, cuihua appeared in front of me. She helped me heal my wounds.”

Zhou Ze looked at the woman lying on the bed,

no wonder lawyer an wanted to protect her,

so this silly girl..,

was lawyer an's savior.

“It was also because of this that I was able to escape from the Yellow Springs Road and sneak back into the mortal world. In addition, when I was a patrol inspector, I made a lot of friends. They helped me run things.

“In addition, I was already deprived of my birth language. To put it bluntly, I'm just a 'Lonely Ghost'in the mortal world. Therefore, even if the people in Hell knew of my existence, most of them would turn a blind eye to it.

“Moreover, I will also come and make use of my previous connections to do some human-snake smuggling business in exchange for my power to survive in the gray area.”

“In other words, it was your former subordinate, your colleague at that time, Feng Si, who saved you?”

“Yes, Cuihua is his subordinate and only listens to him. Without his arrangements, it's impossible for Cuihua to appear there.”

“From the looks of it, Feng Si should be alright?”?

That's not right..,

the ghost jade that we destroyed earlier was Feng Si's arrangement. He deliberately left the ghost jade in the world of the living, allowing it to rely on human lives to absorb and grow year by year. He would only send people to pluck the fruit after it was ripe.

A person who would do such a thing..,

doesn't look like a good person no matter how you look at it?

Could it be that he's the kind of person who has little integrity but no virtue?”

Lawyer an lowered his head,

after a moment of silence..,

he finally spoke:

“The person who snitched on me back then..,

was Feng Si.”

“Oh?”Zhou Ze was surprised. “Then this fourth master must be sick.”

Snitching on you..,

and then saving you?

“He said that snitching on me was part of his duty

Saving me was the return of the favor I had done for him in the past.”

Lawyer an paused for a moment before continuing:

“He has always been outstanding. He has always been so outstanding that my scalp has gone numb,

perhaps..,

to him at that time, it didn't matter if I was dead or alive since I had been deprived of my birth language. He could use this matter as a bargaining chip to sell it.

He could let the other patrol inspectors and judges see that he, Feng Si, was a person of love and righteousness.

“In Hell, there are actually many mountains. Moreover, the style of interpersonal relationships is countless times more serious than in reality.”

“Yes.”Zhou ze nodded.

“But she…”

Lawyer an pointed at cuihua,

“No matter what Feng Si is thinking..,

in short..,

i have never forgotten that when I was being chased until I was at the end of my rope..,

she suddenly appeared..,

“To heal my wounds.

“I felt that I didn't owe him anything, but I owed her my life.”

At this moment,

cuihua, who was lying on the bed, seemed to be about to wake up,

she began to talk in her sleep:

“Fourth Master… Fourth Master…”

Lawyer an reached out and stroked cuihua's forehead.

“Fourth Master… Fourth Master..

Cuihua is hungry..

Cuihua wants to eat..

Pickled cabbage…”
