BXBX NOVEL Chapter 49 - 49: Old Wang from the Coffin Shop!
“What’s going on?”
Seeing Xu Yang’s strange expression, Officer Wang couldn’t help but ask a question.
Xu Yang: “Just now, someone who claimed to be from the Chaoyang Police Station called and said that my elder sister was arrested for not paying for a meal and assaulting the restaurant’s chef and waiter.”
“I’m very familiar with your social connections. Where did you get an elder sister from?”
Lao Wang laughed and said, “It seems you’re quite vigilant. You mustn’t trust such scams… By the way, have you downloaded the anti-fraud app yet?” Download that my ass!
Xu Yang had already reacted, guessing what might have happened, and said, “Officer Wang, do you know anyone from the Chaoyang Police Station? Can you accompany me there?”
Lao Wang was stunned: “You really have an elder sister?”
Xu Yang: “Yes, a sworn sister!”
Soon.
They arrived at the Chaoyang Police Station.
As they entered the station, Lao Wang whispered, “1 know their deputy chief. Should 1 give him a call?”
“No need, let’s see the situation first.”
Xu Yang hurried in, his heart in a panic.
What’s the use of knowing the deputy chief?
Since the person in question claimed to be his “sister,” it must be Liu Shishi who intervened. She is the Ghost King… It’s okay to hurt people, but don’t go crippling or killing them!
Upon entering the station,
Xu Yang saw Yang Yin and Liu Shishi, sitting side by side on chairs against the wall, talking quietly with their heads lowered-
Yang Yin was somewhat flustered: “Elder sister, what should we do? 1 heard that if you go to the police station, you either die or lose a layer of skin, unless Master Xu is willing to spend his fortune to bribe everyone.”
Obviously,
Her understanding of the police station was still in the Republic of Da Xia period.
Liu Shishi was calm and said lightly, “With your sister here, you don’t have to be afraid. Nobody in the station can stop us if we want to leave… Let’s wait and see!”
“Sister, Master Xu is here!”
Yang Yin saw Xu Yang and stood up quickly, saying, “Master Xu!”
While speaking, she kept her head down, not daring to look at Xu Yang, appearing as if she had done something wrong.
Liu Shishi remained seated without moving.
But her gaze sneaked a glance at Xu Yang, seeming a bit flustered.
Xu Yang went to the two women and glanced at the two “victims” beside them who were complaining to the police – a middle-aged fat chef and a young waiter, both with their heads wrapped in gauze and moaning in pain when they spoke.
“What happened?”
“Shishi, didn’t you say you had money? Why are you eating here without paying and beating people again?”
“Wait… You didn’t use… netherworld currency for payment, did you?”
Xu Yang reacted, lowering his voice deliberately when he said the words “netherworld currency”!
Liu Shishi snorted through her nose and said, “We’re not stupid. How can we use that kind of money?”
Yang Yin nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and explained, “Elder sister Shishi used broken silver coins to settle the bill. They insisted that the silver was fake.”
Seeing Xu Yang looking at her again, she lowered her voice a few decibels and whispered, “Later, 1 took out silver coins, but they still didn’t accept them… Then they said some very hurtful words, accusing us of being shameless, and wanted to take us to the authorities, so my sister ended up hitting… No, it was me who hit them!”
“You don’t have to defend me.”
Liu Shishi said lightly: “If 1 do something, I’ll take responsibility. 1 was the one who hit them, what can they do to me?”
Xu Yang:”…”
Both victims heard this and couldn’t hold back, the chef exclaimed, “Police comrades, listen… what the hell is she saying?”
“Huh?”
Liu Shishi’s gaze darkened, and she said, “I, the Ghost King, am responsible for what I’ve done. What do you want?”
Whoosh!
With a wave of her hand, a gold ingot landed on the table. “I’ve dealt with people like you before. You just want money, that’s all. These ten gold pieces are enough for your medical expenses. If you want more, don’t blame me for being ruthless… Alright, little sister, let’s go!”
She grabbed Yang Yin’s arm.
Whoosh!
And disappeared from the police station.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the station turned quiet.
The two victims looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Several on-duty police officers had blank expressions…
What…
What happened?
Where are the people?
How did they vanish?
Lao Wang was the first to react, looking at Xu Yang, his eyes questioning.
Xu Yang nodded, somewhat embarrassed, and said, “Um… they’re new here and don’t quite understand the ways of the world… Besides, it’s not entirely their fault. If they paid with silver and silver coins, wouldn’t your restaurant have made more money?”
Speaking of that,
He put the gold ingot on the table into his pocket and took out his phone: “I see that both of you are fine, so I’ll send you each a cash gift of 1,888 dollars, and we’ll call it even, alright?”
The chef didn’t say anything, and the young waiter jumped up: “No way, didn’t that lady just give us some gold pieces?”
“I dare to give them. Do you dare to take them?”
Xu Yang sneered.
Damn it!
The price of gold skyrocketed in the past two years. How much is one gold ingot worth?
Give it to you?
What are you thinking?
The middle-aged chef, who was older, reacted and said, “Forget about it, officer, we won’t press charges… Come on, don’t you want to live?”
He slapped the young waiter and dragged him out of the station.
Lao Wang said solemnly, “I’ll take responsibility for this case from now on, and 1’11 report it to the headquarters!”
The on-duty police officer wanted to speak, but Lao Wang patted him on the shoulder and said, “You’re still young; there are some things you can’t handle… Don’t worry, I’ll inform your chief about this matter.”
When Xu Yang returned to the funeral home, it was already 11 pm.
An old man stood at the entrance of the funeral home.
“Huh?”
“Elder Wang?”
Xu Yang saw the old man and said in surprise: “Elder Wang, when did you come back? Weren’t you… supposed to be enjoying your life with your son?”
He opened the rolling shutter and invited the old man into the shop.
The old man was about sixty years old, with a stubbly beard, dressed in a black Tang suit. He was best friends with the old master of the funeral home and used to run a coffin shop nearby. When the old master was alive, this old man would come every day to play chess with him.
As soon as he entered the funeral home, he raised his eyebrows and looked around, asking, “Xu Yang, has anyone special been to your shop recently?”
As he spoke,
His expression changed again, looking at Xu Yang in astonishment, as if he had seen a ghost, “Daoist power… That’s impossible.. You can cultivate it?”
