Looking at the four tires that had exploded, the old man smacked his lips and sighed, “What a scare.”

Then, the body of the van began to shake. There were a lot of people at the entrance of the station. Many passengers were gathering over.

Fortunately, the van didn’t shake for long. The window directly cracked and the door completely caved in with a crisp “Kacha…” sound. Dust rose up in the air.

The nearby passengers let out a series of exclamations. What on earth was going on?

The police officers on duty near the station immediately came over to check on the situation. Zhang Yanfeng, who was wearing a police uniform, immediately came down to negotiate. He first showed his identification card. Then, he signaled the police officers to evacuate the crowd.

Everyone was very obedient. No idiot continued to stay in the same spot to watch. After all, it was not their own dam to watch the bustle of their neighbors. In the past few years, there have been a lot of accidents at the station in the country. It was common for the railway station to be manned by police with loaded guns.

When the crowd evacuated, the people in the van also took the opportunity to get off the van and leave with the crowd. Yingying did not forget to carry the broken body wrapped in a quilt.

Zhang Yanfeng was left to deal with the aftermath of the negotiation. He did not have to worry about anything else.

Sometimes Zhang Yanfeng’s identity was quite useful. It was convenient to finish up. It was not surprising that Lawyer An had the intention to help Old Zhang climb up the ranks in the police station.

The group booked two rooms in an express hotel near the station. Zhou Ze had just finished taking a shower under the care of Bai Yingying. After changing into a new set of clothes, Bai Yingying opened the door and let Lawyer An and the Old Priest walk in.

He returned to his physical body. He took another comfortable shower. Zhou Ze felt as if he had been reborn. This body was the most compatible with him. It was also the most comfortable. It gave him a great sense of security.

Most importantly, he could still shout out the winning hook under this body if things didn’t work. Although he usually shouted, “No, no, no.”

At the critical moment, it still smelled good. This was like a nuclear weapon. He knew that it would be difficult to use it if he spent a lot of effort developing it, but he would panic if he didn’t have this thing.

He leaned on the bed. Bai Yingying squatted beside him and held Zhou Ze’s shoulder.

Lawyer An first passed a cigarette to the old man. Then, took out two cigarettes and lit them up in his mouth. He took one out and prepared to pass it to Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze frowned. He didn’t take it.

Lawyer An smiled and pulled out a new cigarette. He threw it on the bed with the lighter.

Bai Yingying immediately picked up the cigarette and lighter. Her cute red lips covered the cigarette. She lit it up with the lighter. She took a puff but did not swallow it. Instead, she held it in her mouth.

Generally speaking, children who did not know how to smoke but pretended to smoke liked to smoke like this. It looked like they smoked a lot, but it was just blowing bubbles.

Bai Yingying used her mouth to find Zhou Ze’s mouth. Mouth to mouth, she gave Zhou Ze the smoke in his mouth. Zhou Ze inhaled it into his lungs.

The smell of nicotine combined with a cool aroma. Ordinary Zhonghua produced the taste of women’s cigarettes exploding in Marlboro at home.

He slowly blew the smoke out of his nose. He took the time to make the taste everlasting.

On one side, Lawyer An’s face was full of disgust. He waved his hand at them, “Hey, is this how you spread dog food?”

“Exactly.”

The old man at the side secretly looked at the boss. He was relieved to see the boss did not pay attention to him. He was experienced in too many things but he dare not in front of the boss. The last time he was in prison, he almost got himself into big trouble.

Zhou Ze ignored Lawyer An’s protest. Yingying pretended not to hear it. She took another puff of her cigarette. She gave it to the boss mouth to mouth. When she retracted her mouth, she deliberately used her lips to gently pinch Zhou Ze’s lower lip.

Then, she bit her lips with her teeth and smiled shyly. She did not know whether it was because she missed him more than ever these past few days or perhaps it was because of the zombie energy released when Zhou Ze’s body returned.

Bai Yingying’s body reacted and the female zombie was as tender as ice water. She had grown up. She could flirt.

Zhou Ze reached out and put his hand on Bai Yingying’s shoulder. Bai Yingying leaned against the boss’ chest very sensibly.

“Hey. Hey. Hey, this is too much.”

Lawyer An stood up, “Are you bullying us single dogs?”

“Don’t you have a woman you like?” Zhou Ze asked in return.

“Huh?” Lawyer An was stunned. “How did you know? Feng Si told you? That’s not right. I was there at the time. He didn’t say anything.”

“If you didn’t have a woman you liked back then, you should be with Feng Si now.”

“…” Lawyer An.

Zhou Ze scanned his surroundings. Zhang Yanfeng was dealing with some matters and was not around. The death attendant was supposed to be watching the shop at home, but there was still one person missing.

“Where’s Lin Ke?” Zhou Ze asked.

“I didn’t find her.” Lawyer An shook his head.

“Boss, we searched the mountain but didn’t find her. We also didn’t sense her aura. Then, we received a call from Old Zhang saying that you’re in Xuzhou, so we immediately came to look for you. We didn’t waste any more time looking for Lin Ke.”

“Okay.” Zhou Ze nodded. “This is a good habit.”

The leader had to take precedence in everything. He had to first think of the leader’s interests in everything. Only then would he be a qualified subordinate.

“I do have some clues that might be related to Lin Ke. In the wee hours of the morning, I met a local female ghost in Xuzhou. An old man wearing sunglasses was with her.

“Guess what I found?”

“Is that female ghost cop pretty?” Lawyer An asked.

“Not bad.” Zhou Ze thought for a while and replied, “Her breasts are not very big, but her legs are very long. She also likes to wear leather pants.”

“TSK. TSK. I see. Then, I’ll have to get to know her better. How is she? Is it difficult?”

“Looking at her buying a big box of condoms in one go, she should be quite easy to get your hands on.”

A person’s personality changes drastically when they have died, spent time in Hell, and returned to the world of the living.

For example, Zhou Ze had worked diligently and wholeheartedly to climb up the ladder in his previous life, but in this life, he had become much lazier.

The easiest to be liberated was usually the relationship between a man and a woman. He understood the principle of carpe diem even more.

People like Zhang Yanfeng remembered the lofty ideals and ethics of his life and lived up to his oath of serving the people at the same time. After all, he was one of the few.

“That’s fine, I can try…”

“Boss? Lawyer An?” The Old Priest silently raised his hand because he felt that the conversation between his boss and Lawyer An seemed to be seriously off-topic.

Wasn’t it about Lin Ke’s clues? Why did it become about women?

“Ahem, yes, there are two puppets by that old man’s side. We can basically confirm that they are the two Black Shadows that appeared beside Zhu Shengnan when we were capturing him that night. They are the two shadows that you used the same move on.”

Upon hearing this news a glint flashed in Old An’s eyes. “Are you sure?”

“I’m sure.”

Old An nodded and sat back down on his chair. He raised his leg and shook it before saying, “That’ll be interesting.” Lawyer An glanced at Zhou Ze and smiled. He roughly understood Zhou Ze’s thoughts.

Although he didn’t ask in detail, he could guess that Zhou Ze’s soul was having a hard time wandering outside. It wasn’t easy for him to get his physical body back. Of course, he had to find an opportunity to vent his anger.

Just like that, he went back to bask in the sun. He felt that he had been mistreated.

“Should we call the three ghost messengers from other places back?” Lawyer An asked.

It was Yueya and Liu Chuyu.

“There’s no need. Since the other party can be together with the local ghost messengers from Xuzhou, it proves that even if the other party isn’t in the Netherworld series, they must have a deep relationship with the system.

“Those few are all ghosts in other places. If they leave rashly and leak the news, their intentions will be too obvious.”

There was one thing that Zhou Ze did not say. Thanks to Old Zhang’s pretentious act in front of the convenience store, the old man was probably scared out of his wits and would probably leave Xuzhou immediately.

It would be too much of a waste of time to wait for his subordinates to gather. Xuzhou was a transportation hub and the high-speed railway stations were very dense. If the Old Priest wanted to leave, he could simply board a high-speed railway and march north, south, east, or west in a matter of minutes.

“Alright, since we’ve found our enemy, there’s no reason for us not to return the favor.”

Lawyer An’s personality was a little cautious towards Zhou Ze. However, Lawyer An was not afraid that Zhou Ze would want to cause trouble. What he was afraid of was that Zhou Ze would lie there and bask in the sun all day long without causing any trouble.

Boss Zhou finally wanted to take the initiative to cause trouble once. Lawyer An looked as if he was looking at his foolish child who was finally willing to work hard. He was so excited that he was about to cry.

“Where are they? Let’s first determine their location and then catch them off guard. If there are local ghosts in Xuzhou with them, then we’ll solve it together.

“On the surface, we have the main reason for this matter. Even if the Yin Masters investigate in the future, we won’t be in the wrong at all.”

“Boss, Yingying and I, the three of us are enough.”

“Squeak, Squeak, Squeak!!!” The monkey in the Old Priest’s arms suddenly stretched out his hand and shouted.

The Old Priest was so scared that he trembled. He immediately stretched out his hand and tried to press the little monkey into his clothes.

‘You are courting death!’

‘They are going to fight…’

‘You are so excited!’

Now, the Old Priest wished that the boss and the others could not see him.

“Oh right, there’s also the Old Priest.”

“…” the Old Priest.

“Old Priest, you should follow the monkey. Don’t worry, after this monkey swallowed the Xiezhi clone, he became very brave. It should be no problem for him to protect you.”

The Old Priest looked at the silly little monkey in his arms with some sadness. It was hard for him to believe what Lawyer An said.

At this moment, Zhou Ze’s cell phone rang. Zhou Ze answered the call. It was Old Zhang calling.

“Hello, boss. The matter at the bus station has been settled. Also, the location of the Porsche has been confirmed by the Xuzhou Police. I’m sending the location to you now.”

Out of the instinct of an old criminal policeman, Old Zhang did not forget to help his boss remember the license plate when he was acting cool.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ze twisted his neck. He patted the back of the maid beside him and said, “Yingying.”

“Yes.”

“Let’s go. I’ll bring you to fight.”
