The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 241 - 245 - The Old Mansion is Haunted (14)

Mr. Gu’s voice caught everyone’s attention, but even if he hadn’t spoken, all eyes would probably have been on Su Li.

She was too dazzling.

Su Li nodded lightly towards Gu Shi, greeted him casually, and then ignored him, instead focusing her attention on the leader of the Taoist Association, Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng also noticed Jing Hao and the others opposite, showing a thoughtful expression, his mind rapidly turning.

He saw clearly that this group seemed to be led by this beautiful woman.

Fang Zheng stepped forward, extending his hand with his signature smile, "Hello, I’m Fang Zheng."

His peach blossom eyes shimmered deeply as he looked at you, overwhelming many with girlish sentiments, as if you were his entire world in his eyes.

Watching this, Lin Mianmian felt a pang in her heart, the yellow talisman in her palm was ruined, and upon realizing it, she felt incredibly annoyed.

That was ten thousand a piece, just wasted.

Anyway, from the moment Lin Mianmian saw Su Li, she felt displeased.

But Fang Zheng’s scattered charm had no effect on Su Li.

This kind of peacock that flaunts its feathers, she politely declines.

Su Li nodded faintly, without extending her hand, "Su Li."

Fang Zheng didn’t feel awkward and casually withdrew his hand.

"Su Li, come here," Gu Shi called out a second time, his complexion already on the verge of anger.

Watching Su Li speaking unaffectedly with Fang Zheng, Gu Shi felt a deep sense of betrayal, even more intense than when dealing with Lin Mianmian.

Seeing Su Li indifferent, Gu Shi raised his voice again, "Su Li, come here, don’t make me angry."

Su Li, speechless, pursed her lips.

Sick, this tone of issuing orders from on high like a king, what kind of nonsense was that?

Did he still think he was the original owner, that fool who could be ordered around by him?

Fang Zheng gave a slight smile, "Mr. Gu is always so rough with ladies, no wonder they all ignore you."

Fang Zheng’s words added fuel to the fire, pointed,

Lin Mianmian felt this way, and so did Su Li, making Gu Shi feel his dignity was infringed.

Furious, he was about to drag Su Li back himself, Gu Shi glanced at Lin Mianmian covertly, but Lin Mianmian, lost in her thoughts, was fixated on Fang Zheng, completely missing Gu Shi’s complex look.

Before Su Li could speak, a lively short-haired girl from the group jumped out in her defense.

"Who are you to tell our Su Li to come over, and she just has to go?"

Shu Yifei puffed up like a little squirrel, totally unimpressed by people like Gu Shi with such boorish behaviors.

This lively and clever nature was something Su Li really liked, and she smiled at Shu Yifei encouragingly.

Previously, when she had impulsively blurted out her retort, she immediately regretted it, worried that if this man had a close relationship with Su Li, her actions might embarrass Su Li.

Su Li, smiling, remained silent, completely unaware of how strange it was for her to look at Shu Yifei with a kind of affection that an elder has for a younger one, given her young age.

Yet, the group that had completely become her fans didn’t feel anything was amiss.

Indeed, Shu Yifei was actually older than Su Li, and she was extremely touched by Su Li’s encouraging look.

This made her even more relaxed as she launched into her relentless verbal barrage, spraying Gu Shi thoroughly.

Gu Shi had tried to speak several times, but Shu Yifei blocked him each time, leaving him feeling stuffy and uncomfortable.

Finally, Lin Mianmian shifted her gaze from Fang Zheng and gave some of her attention to Gu Shi.

She frowned unhappily and said, "You’re being too much, still acting like a policeman."

Thinking of Shu Yifei, who belonged to the most beautiful woman opposite, Lin Mianmian’s perception of her wasn’t good either.

Gu Shi thought Lin Mianmian was standing up for him, and the anger he had been accumulating instantly dissipated into nothingness.

He knew that Mianmian’s words were just spoken in anger. Suddenly, Gu Shi felt as if he had eaten ice in the dog days of summer, completely refreshed.

He no longer insisted on calling Su Li over.

Gu Shi said, "This is not a place for you, hurry back."

Who is this idiot who forgot to bring his brain out?

Su Li glanced at Jing Hao, who nodded.

He stepped forward and said to Fang Zheng’s group, "Now is our investigation time. Irrelevant personnel must leave."

Fang Zheng asked in confusion, "Isn’t Captain Jing mistaken? What case could possibly be here?"

Jing Hao said, "Not long ago, several families of the missing persons have reported the cases, and all evidence indicates that the criminal might be hiding here."

Jing Hao’s words provoked laughter from Fang Zheng’s group. "If the criminal is a ghost, do you really plan to arrest it?"

Jing Hao replied seriously, "Whether it’s a person or a ghost, if it commits a crime, it will be punished by law. As long as it exists in this world, it cannot escape."

Fang Zheng’s smile slowly faded, "Are you serious?"

He seemed to understand the implications behind the other’s grand gestures but couldn’t fathom what their actual reliance was.

"Officer, we have a legal permit to enter here."

Seeing that they were determined to enter, Su Li subtly nodded.

Jing Hao said, "If you insist on going ahead, you bear the consequences. We won’t waste additional police forces to protect you."

A Daoist dressed in a yellow robe, holding a horsetail whisk, showed a look of scorn as if he had heard something extremely funny.

"Do you know what you’re facing? Just a few ordinary people, and still you say you’ll protect us? We wouldn’t even need to lift a finger for everything to be alright."

Lin Mianmian also smiled slightly. It wasn’t that she looked down on these people, but truly, ordinary people without Taoist skills could be easily teased by even a little ghost, leaving them in a disheveled mess.

Gu Shi’s expression turned cold, and he scolded Su Li, "Go back, don’t make trouble here."

Su Li retorted, "You’re the one causing trouble."

Logically, as a manager of a large enterprise, Gu Shi shouldn’t be so shortsighted and unable to see the situation clearly.

If he just thought about it, the appearance of Su Li with a police team here was odd enough. If there was no confidence, these people wouldn’t be foolish.

It could only be said that being in love was truly terrifying, enough to drag down even one’s intelligence.

Fang Zheng smartly stood aside, not saying a word, his probing gaze circling around Su Li and the others.

He didn’t stop Daoist Lu Bing from Tianji Sect, who had just ridiculed them.

This was a good opportunity to possibly gather more information.

But the other party didn’t get angry and simply nodded, "Since that’s the case, you go ahead."

Fang Zheng was stunned; he had thought they would insist on not letting them in.
