Chapter 10, Attack

Doctor Wan, his name is Wan Li, please remember that your clinic is on the 14th floor, not here, I hope this kind of thing does not happen again

It is not Doctor Wan. It is an aunt, who claims to be your landlord

Landlord?" Xiao Xia was taken aback. What could it be? Could it be that the epic battle in her room from the day before yesterday had been exposed? She walked to the reception desk in confusion and saw the landlord standing with his back to her at the window

"Why are you seducing my husband?" the landlord said in a soft voice

Not to mention that just two days before the court hearing, whether changing defense lawyers without justifiable reasons is permitted, she herself cannot overcome this hurdle.

"Is that so! Then—I'm sorry, I mistook a good person for a bad one." Xia Xia acknowledged her mistake, but she still did not understand, "But it's daytime, how could it come out to do evil!"

Ten thousand miles! He calls.

It is quite obvious, Ruan Zhan replied淡淡地.

Someone is looking for you

"That's good; we are a friendly organization," Director Pan nodded, then looked at the many subordinates who were still in a daze. "Don't just stand there; hurry up and tidy up, and act appropriately. And you—" he pointed at Xiaoxia, "in the future, do not bring personal matters into the workplace."

"Do you not understand?" The interruption is unwelcome. "It has not left, and your troubles will be significant. From the moment you took on this case, everything has been directed against you. I do not know why it targeted Li Jingming, but you have likely obstructed its desired outcome, which is why it wants you dead from beginning to end. It would be best to abandon this case."

Xia Xia stared in astonishment as the landlord's expression swiftly changed from malevolent to vacant, and after letting go of Wan Li, she ran out like the wind

"What does it mean?" Xia Xia asked with distaste, "Is it not going to let me go?"

Ruan Zhan glared at Wan Li, blaming him for being talkative. Wan Li, however, pretended not to notice the situation between the two and continued to ask: "Why did it choose the landlord? I heard she lives on the first floor; isn't that quite a long journey?"

Director Pan looked at the "smoky battlefield" and frowned

Because the landlord is familiar with Miss Yue's situation. Since it cannot successfully possess her, it will certainly find another way to kill her

Various thoughts left her mind in turmoil, and she made no decisions at all throughout the entire morning

"Aunt Liu? Are you looking for me for something?" she asked

His indifferent attitude made Xiaoxia somewhat dissatisfied, "Is that it? I mean—aren't you going to help her drive away that ghost? You should have that ability, right? Where did she run off to?"

"Ah? Who is your husband?" Xiao Xia was puzzled, but still took a few steps toward the door.

"We will decide after lunch," she issued her final ultimatum to herself, gazing out the window. It was then that she noticed the sky was as dark as the bottom of a pot, resembling the ominous signs of an impending storm.

Xia Xia was stunned, her blood rushing to her heart. This was undoubtedly Aunt Liu, the landlord from www.hetushu.com, but the stiffness, the eerie smile, and the twisted muscles were all details Xia Xia was familiar with—she had seen them in her nightmares when she encountered ghosts. It was like the face of a paper figure used in funerals, with expressions that were merely painted on.

The office door swung open with a "bang," and Xiao Wang poked his head in. "Sister Yue!"

It seems that you really only sealed it that day, but it was released so quickly?" Wanli asked with concern.

Indeed, at the beginning, she wanted to distance herself from the case out of fear. It was various circumstances and coincidences that forced her to grit her teeth and persist, with the ultimate goal of letting go in the end. However, now that the situation has reached this point, even though the director has returned, she has developed a strong desire to win this lawsuit. This is due to the torment inflicted upon her by that ghost, which has made her furious, as well as her deep sympathy for Li Jingming.

Wan Li strongly advised her to abandon this case, and she could understand that he was doing it for her own good. However, the cold words and threats from Ruan Zhan, who declared that he would not take any responsibility if she did not give up and anything went wrong, infuriated her. She was determined to resolve this matter to show him, yet she also knew that she could not do without that indifferent and unfeeling person. Because although he said nothing, ever since she moved in with him, she truly felt safe, free from nightmares and terrifying hallucinations.

She believes that Li Jingming must have been possessed by a ghost to commit such an unforgivable act. But why would that ghost want to do such a thing? And how can Li Jingming face the heavy guilt of having killed his own family? Is it really a good thing to rescue him? What if the case is handed over to someone else? Should he just be wrongfully executed? Moreover, even if she takes on this lawsuit, how should she proceed? Unless it can be proven that Li Jingming was suffering from a mental illness that rendered him incapable of action and discernment at the time of the incident, he cannot be exempt from liability. Should he just be wrongfully executed? Furthermore, even if she takes on this lawsuit, how should she proceed? Unless it can be proven that Li Jingming was suffering from a mental illness that rendered him incapable of action and discernment at the time of the incident, he cannot be exempt from liability. And possession by a ghost is certainly not a form of mental illness, and no one would believe such a thing.

His joke made the startled crowd burst into laughter

It attaches itself to a person, thus it is not overly concerned about the daytime; however, it is easier to control the parasite at night. But today—" Ruan Zhan glanced out the window, the sky dark as dusk, "this kind of weather gives it an opportunity.

"Vixen, I will kill you for seducing other people's husbands! Vixen!" She repeated hoarsely and mechanically.

She is possessed by a ghost and does not know what she is doing

Because Xiaoxia had long been prepared to escape, she narrowly avoided this deadly stab. However, the landlord's madness terrified her, forcing her to flee in a panic without a clear direction. She ran in sheer terror, while the landlord relentlessly pursued her, causing chaos throughout the office and alarming everyone. Some male lawyers attempted to stop the landlord, but her strength was astonishing, making it impossible to subdue her.

Xia Xia hesitated whether to abandon this case

I understand, I am sorry. I assure you that this will not happen again

Xiaoxia was as busy as a chick pecking at grains, nodding at the pictures and books, and then without bothering to clean up the mess, directly brought the two men into her office

"As long as you know what you are doing." Ruan Zhan retorted coldly. He had visited someone's home this morning and returned with an uneasy feeling. He hurriedly consulted an oracle, which allowed him to arrive here in time to avert a disaster, but it seemed that someone was ungrateful.

She isn't delusional enough to think you are her husband!" Xiao Wang said

The landlord turned around, and for a moment, a flash of blue light appeared in his eyes, followed by a silent smile.

"Why are you seducing my husband?" The landlord suddenly shouted, drawing a sharp knife she carried with her and stabbing fiercely. "Vixen, I will kill you for seducing someone else's husband! Vixen!"

At that moment, Xia Xia understood that the landlord had also been possessed by that ghost, but she was already powerless and could only face the descending dagger with her eyes closed.

"That is to say, after it was broken under your hands that day, it hid in other residences, and it is very good at hiding, making it difficult for you to discover it," Wan Li said

Isn't it just due to some people's low RPG levels! Xia Xia seized the opportunity to mock others, and of course, she would not let it slip by

Oh, Dr. Wan has come to invite me for lunch

"It is not that Azhan is unwilling to help drive away the ghost." Wanli detected the smell of gunpowder and quickly intervened, "This ghost possesses great power. If we attempt to expel it without proper preparation, it could harm the host, which is to say, your landlord's body. If things go awry, it could result in death"

You really have a lot of leisure time, she was just about to take care of you and - the picture - the book a minute ago

"It's nothing, it's nothing, just a misunderstanding." Wan Li pulled Xiao Xia up and said to the crowd and the security personnel who had just rushed over, "This is my patient, suffering from both paranoia and delusional disorders."

However, the anticipated great pain did not arrive; instead, she was filled with the landlord's unwilling screams echoing in her ears. She opened her eyes to see Ruan Zhan from behind, one hand tightening around the landlord's neck while the other hand grasped the one desperately trying to break free with a knife.

In a state of panic, Xiaoxia tripped over a chair, and the pain in her ankle made her realize that this time it was not a dream. She wanted to get up, but the landlord had already arrived, brandishing a sharp knife

The issue remains the same, despite going around in circles

This is also very obvious

"Go straight home," he commanded

Wan Li burst out from the other side, brutally snatching the knife and forcefully pressing the struggling landlord face down onto the table. Ruan Zhan had his back to the crowd, but only Xiao Xia noticed his lips moving as if he were silently reciting something, while his palm struck the landlord's head squarely.

Indeed, she came to trouble the innocent Xia, and everyone knows how well I treat Xia! Wanli's nonchalant admission relieved everyone once again

Ah? Xiao Xia was startled. Recently, she had been like this, every little sound could make her heart race. With this state, she still wanted to handle cases involving ghosts; even she thought it was a fanciful idea.

She announced, "She has been possessed by that ghost"

I told you not to meddle in other people's affairs! Her expression suddenly shifted from madness to an indescribable eeriness. "The retribution has arrived"
