Chapter 31: Found Him
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Feng Yuanlin still had some understanding of his subordinate. He was one of those solemn and serious types. There was no way he’d reveal his privacy in public. Sun Su was even more unlikely to wag her tongue too freely and stage a show to deceive him. The experiment just now must’ve been true.
Lin Chongchang, on the other hand, was dumbstruck. He was an atheist and his worldview was obviously badly shaken, such that he couldn’t recover his senses for a long time.
“Can I have a try?” Feng Yuanlin wasn’t usually a curious person, but an inexplicable spark of curiosity ignited in him at the moment. Is this talisman really effective?
Sun Su looked torn. “Director Feng, actually this talisman turns into ashes after several uses. This is the last one. This sort of talisman should have a limited number of uses.”
Director Feng was amazed. He didn’t expect that this talisman was still consumable. A Master must have really drawn it. If so, then everything had a logical explanation and the links between these traces could almost be pieced together into fact.
What Feng Yuanlin had thought, Lin Chongchang naturally did too. Officer Huang scratched his head, still somewhat puzzled. “So did they really run into a female ghost?”
Feng Yuanlin deliberated for a moment, before shaking his head and said, “What got into their heads was probably the handiwork of the Talisman Master. As for what they confess, even though it’s all true, it’s still their subjective feelings, after all. I’ve heard that some Masters are powerful enough to use camouflaging techniques. I’m sure that’s how those two mistook that master for a ghost.”
Officer Huang was immediately dumbstruck. If he had heard this in the past, he would have never believed it without first-hand experience and would have even thought it was ridiculous. But the facts were in front of him, so he had to believe it.
Lin Chongchang was also momentarily speechless, too shocked to say anything. His mood was a bit complicated. If supernatural beings really did exist in this world, perhaps his grandson could really see those ghosts and monsters. He found peace, but at the same time, felt pins and needles. He couldn’t understand why that Master, who saved his grandson, was slow to appear.
While the group was caught up in their individual shock and ruminating on their thoughts…
Feng Yuanlin’s office landline suddenly rang. He got up and immediately answered the phone, and said to Lin Chongchang, who was sitting on the sofa anxiously, “Elder Lin, I’ve got word from the traffic police that Haoxing has been found, unharmed. A police officer is already sending him over to the station.”
Lin Chongchang bounced up overjoyed, agile and not at all like an old man. “I knew Xingxing was blessed with good fortune and would be fine. By the way, what about the Master? I have to thank him properly.”
Feng Yuanlin narrowed his eyes, puzzled. “There was only Haoxing in the car.”
“Huh?” Was that Master just their conjecture? It was purely those two who abandoned the car and fled? Lin Chongchang was in a fog.
Feng Yuanlin shook his head at Lin Chongchang’s doubt and explained, “It should indeed be that Master who saved Haoxing. The officer reporting below said that they locked in on the car based on the license plate number we gave them. When many traffic officers surrounded and closed in on the car, it was still running and it only stopped when it was completely surrounded. But when they searched it, there was only Haoxing in the backseat, so it must have been the Master who didn’t want to expose himself.”
