Stunned, the chavs whipped around, their eyes full of vigilance .
However, Helian Wei Wei smiled and replied in a straightforward manner, “Miss, this a workshop and we’re not exorcists . Are you at the wrong address? However, there is an exorcist on the next street . ” According to the rules, she would only accept tasks after sunset, and no one would approach her during the day .
“Someone told me that there’s an exorcist here . ” The lady wore a long grey robe that was stained with oil . She eyed Helian Wei Wei warily . “That person’s surname is Tang . He told me that someone will help me if I come here . ”
Young Master Tang? Helian Wei Wei’s expression underwent a subtle change as she stared at the woman . “Did he pass you anything?”
“Huh? Did he pass me anything?” All of a sudden, the woman seemed to have recalled something . “He told me to show you my mobile phone when I’m here . ” The woman whipped out a cheap mobile phone from her pocket .
Helian Wei Wei received the cellphone from the woman . The screen, which was initially flickering, instantly lit up . A silvery fox appeared on the screen . It pounced forward as though it was going to jump out of the screen, but the fox eventually dissolved into a few words . The line said, “I am referring this case to you . ”
The chavs were not surprised by Young Master Tang’s computer hacking skills that could penetrate any digital system .
However, the woman, who came for Helian Wei Wei, had never seen such a feature on her mobile phone . Eyes widened and mouth agape, she exclaimed, “What! What is that?”
“It’s a mission card . ” Helian Wei Wei put on a faint grin as she returned the phone to its owner .
The woman received the phone and began to study her phone . Yet, the animation was nowhere to be seen . “Huh, where did it go?”
Helian Wei Wei did not answer her . The Tang Sect’s secret orders were rarely assigned directly by Young Master Tang . If so, the orders would appear in very creative ways every time and caught everyone off guard . This was the sect’s way of protecting themselves .
“Tell me . What’s troubling you?” Helian Wei Wei crossed her legs casually . The gentle smile on her face could easily bring people’s guard down .
Immediately, tears escaped her eyes as she wailed in despair . “My son has gone missing! I can’t find him anywhere . ”
“Have you made a police report?” Helian Wei Wei asked in a muffled tone .
The woman clenched her fist . “The police rejected my report because it hasn’t been 24 hours yet . ”
“Indeed . ” This was also one of the reasons behind the increasing number of missing children over the years . To be honest, it would already be too late for the investigation to start one day later .
But…
“How do you know that your son’s disappearance is linked to the ghosts?” This was Helian Wei Wei’s first question .
The woman scanned her surroundings before she replied, “My son is not the only one who went missing . Ever since the start of term, the children in the senior kindergarten class have been disappearing one after another and it happens once every two days . Most of them would go missing in the evening after school ends . However, it hasn’t been long since the children were lost and the school insisted that the kids were picked up by their relatives . Notwithstanding that, I know my son very well . He would never follow a stranger . ”
“The senior kindergarten class?’ Helian Wei Wei lifted her gaze . “Is it the kindergarten in our area?”
The woman replied with a firm nod . “I’ve told others that the kindergarten seems rather odd, but no one believes me . However, the kindergarten is really dodgy . ”
“There is nothing wrong with the kindergarten,” Helian Wei Wei interrupted with an indifferent tone . Meanwhile, she furrowed her brows as though she was engrossed in her train of thought .
The woman gently bit her thin lips . “You don’t believe me too?”
“It’s not that I don’t believe you . I’ve been to that kindergarten too . ” Helian Wei Wei paused before she added, “My son goes to the same kindergarten and he only reported himself to the class today . The kindergarten itself has no problem . The most important question is who abducted your son . Unfortunately, I cannot be certain that spirits or ghosts are behind the abduction when the evidence is limited . ”
Upon hearing Helian Wei Wei’s words, the woman seemed rather hesitant to continue the discussion .
Helian Wei Wei smiled before she continued, “If you don’t tell me the entire truth, the chances of rescuing your son will grow slimmer as time passes . ”
“To be honest…” Tears raced down her cheeks as the woman spoke, “Since a month ago, my son has been acting strange . As you can see, our family isn’t well off . His father is merely an ordinary construction worker, while I own a noodle stall . Many customers come for noodles in the afternoon . So, I usually pick up my son late . Once, he told me that he suspected someone was trailing him . Initially, I thought he was imagining things and he didn’t repeat it again . Therefore, I didn’t take it seriously . A few days before he went missing, he was alone in his room, but was talking to someone . When I asked him whom he was talking to, he said he was playing with a little boy . But, there was no one else in the room . I was terrified and went to the temple to get a talisman for him . Then, everything went back to normal . But now, he’s gone . ”
Helian Wei Wei listened to the woman but her gaze was fixed behind the woman’s back . Then, she asked with a faint grin on her face, “Besides your son, did you and your husband have another child in the past?”
The woman was glued to the spot . “How… how do you know?”
“I’ve read your fortune . ” Helian Wei Wei stared at the tiny shadow that was standing behind the woman’s back . “Did he die in a car crash?”
Upon hearing this, gut-wrenching sobs tore through her chest as she nodded violently .
Helian Wei Wei was not supposed to speak of ghosts and spirits to the commoners . Yet, she tactfully delivered the truth to the woman . “Your son did meet a young boy, but the boy had no intention to hurt your son . Instead, they shared a special bond that only exists between siblings . Your firstborn sensed the danger that was approaching your son and wanted to protect him . Unfortunately, he had limited power and could not fight against the talisman . Therefore, he was forced to leave, when he could actually have guarded your son . If I’m not mistaken, your son disappeared right after your firstborn’s departure . ”
The woman was drenched with tears after she understood the chain of events . “I always thought that he was holding grudges against his father and I, for we have given all our love to Xiao Xiang . We thought that was why he wouldn’t leave Xiao Xiang alone . I…”
“Children are always pure-hearted . They will always repay the kindness they have received . Even if their parents are biased toward another child, the family bond they share will always remain . ” Helian Wei Wei rose to her feet . She deepened her gaze as she looked at the setting sun . Then, she turned around to look at the chavs before she flashed a wicked grin . “Someone’s causing trouble in our area . Is he trying to trifle with me?”
Kim, who had a cigarette in his mouth, did not speak . He silently grabbed his leather jacket .
Meanwhile, the bear-like Old A put on a broad grin before he brandished the metal rod in his hand . “Let’s go and get him!”
