Both Baili Wuchangs seemed a little worried, but Wen Nuan told them not to interfere. The two glanced at each other in a rare tacit agreement, standing silently without moving.
Wen Nuan ran over, running very fast like a small cannonball, and rushed in front of his aunt.
Wen Nuan had disappeared for several days. His aunt was stunned when she saw Wen Nuan and said, “Why are you here?”
Wen Nuan stood in front of his aunt with his hands on her hips and said, “Old witch, do you feel guilty when you see me?”
“Old…” His aunt was stunned and said, “What did you call me? Is your skin itchy? Are you asking for a beating?”
Wen Nuan was not afraid of her and said, “I came back to ask you, where is the house and money my parents left me? Have you spent enough of it?”
His aunt was startled again, and suddenly feeling very guilty, she said: “What kind of house or money? Your parents have left you nothing. You have been eating and drinking off my dime for so many years, and you still care about the house and money? Seems like you really are itching for a beating.”
“Hmph,” Wen Nuan snorted heavily and said, “Do you think I am young and ignorant? If my parents didn’t leave a house and money, how could you support me? Now that you’re almost done using my parents’ funds, you don’t want me anymore, right? Have you already planned on how to get rid of me? I’ve been away for the past few days, so you must be sleeping well at night, aren’t you?”
“What are you talking about? Don’t talk nonsense.” His aunt looked around in a panic, for fear that someone would overhear Wen Nuan’s words.
This was a school. If any classmates or staff members heard this, would his aunt still be considered a human being?
Wen Nuan jumped up, made a face at his aunt, and said, “So you do know that it’s not good for others to hear. I thought you were shameless all the way through. Alright, I’m going to tell everyone now that you often beat and abuse me, and that you even defrauded my parents of their inheritance!”
Wen Nuan said this and ran away again, escaping far away in a flash.
“Wen Nuan! Stop! Stop! Where are you running to?!” When his aunt saw that something was wrong, she quickly chased after him, trying to stop Wen Nuan.
Just now, Wen Nuan had an idea and thought of a good way to deal with his aunt. He deliberately provoked her, just to make her chase him in anger.
Sure enough, his aunt took the bait and chased Wen Nuan. Unexpectedly, Wen Nuan ran very fast, and she couldn’t catch up no matter what.
Wen Nuan laughed all the way, saying, “Old witch, can’t you catch me? Don’t think I don’t know that you’ve received a lot of red envelopes from the parents of your students!”
“If you say that again, I’ll beat you!” His aunt’s face turned red to purple.
Wen Nuan continued to run, breaking out in a sweat. “I bet you treat the students who gave you red envelopes with a smile, but treat the students who never gave you red envelopes as if they killed your father. Am I right or am I right?”
“Stop! I’ll beat you to death! You little brat! I’ll kill you!”
His aunt was already going crazy. She was about to catch up with Wen Nuan, shouting even louder as she rushed over with all her strength.
Perhaps Wen Nuan was tired from running or something, but his speed slowed down. When his aunt saw the opportunity coming, she grabbed Wen Nuan’s collar, lifting him up in preparation to give his baby face a couple of good slaps across the face.
“Ah! She hit me! I’m gonna die! It hurts! Stop it!”
Before he was so much as grazed, Wen Nuan burst into a fit of heartbreaking tears.
He struggled hard to break free from his aunt’s hand, and then he fell to the ground, rolling around and crying, “Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, it hurts!”
His aunt was dumbfounded. She didn’t know what was happening for a moment.
When she came to her senses, her heart jolted.
She heard the “Click! Click!” sounds of shutters and flashes going off, as well as the whispers of many people.
It turned out that Wen Nuan led his aunt all the way to the school gate. Because of the sensation of the school murder case from yesterday, many reporters were still waiting for further interviews at the school gate. Unexpectedly, they did not get to interview about the murder case, but they were able to photograph a teacher abusing a child.
“Oh my god, is the teacher who hit him the homeroom teacher of the deceased classmate?”
“Is it really okay for a teacher to spank a child like this? The child is still so young.”
“Hurry up and take some more pictures.”
The reporters kept flashing their cameras, and Wen Nuan’s performance grew even more heated. He rolled around on the ground and pretended that he couldn’t stand up. The enthusiastic reporters almost wanted to call the paramedics to take him to the hospital.
The school case wasn’t over yet as another piece of breaking news came out. Wen Nuan’s aunt was featured on TV, and many reporters began to report in depth about incidents related to his aunt.
The fact that his aunt ran evening classes and received big red envelopes was not a secret at all. One could find out with a little inquiry. Although this was prohibited, for the benefit of their students, parents would furtively bribe the teacher even so. They would do whatever the teacher wanted, praising and flattering the homeroom teacher. That’s why Wen Nuan’s aunt was so arrogant. She knew that no parent would dare to report her. As long as they reported her, it would be equivalent to ruining their child’s future.
However, what the aunt did was exposed by reporters, and it quickly became an uproar.
The school’s statement was already in disarray due to the murder case, and now another violent incident involving a teacher occurred. The school hurriedly made a clarification and immediately fired the aunt as an explanation to everyone.
Wen Nuan was elated and returned with his hands behind his back. He looked at the two Baili Wuchangs with a smile and said, “How did I do? Didn’t I solve it perfectly?”
The two Baili Wuchangs had the same expression, both frowning and shaking their heads seriously.
The scene just now was so nerve-wracking that the two Baili Wuchangs almost charged forward to tear his aunt into pieces.
Wen Nuan returned victorious, but his body was dusty and his face was dirty. He looked like a little mud monkey.
The two Baili Wuchang sighed in sync, and then knelt on one knee in front of Wen Nuan.

“Qtja jgf sbe…” Rejc Rejc yilcxfv.
Baili Wuchang said, “You are too dirty.”
The eighteen-years-ago Baili Wuchang added, “As well as your face.”
The two Baili Wuchangs took out paper towels. One wiped the dust off Wen Nuan’s body, and the other wiped his fleshy hands.
Wen Nuan blinked his big eyes in surprise. It turned out that they were just wiping his hands. When they got down on one knee, he almost thought they were going to propose.
Wen Nuan happily accepted the treatment from the two Baili Wuchangs, feeling like an emperor.
As Wen Nuan was fantasizing to himself again, he suddenly looked up in surprise. “Yi? It’s that cat again!”
He raised his hand and pointed, and the two Baili Wuchangs turned around at the same time.
Wen Nuan wanted to find Song Xing and Fan Haiyi to see how they were doing. He saw them standing near the cafeteria talking about something.
Diagonally opposite, in the dark corner, there was a sneaky figure.
Wen Nuan squinted. Wasn’t that the cat that he had seen several times?
When Song Xing was surrounded by those delinquents, the cat grabbed Wen Nuan and went to save Song Xing. Later, when Song Xing was working in the convenience store, the cat also appeared. Now, the kitty was even at school, seeming to be eavesdropping on what Song Xing and Fan Haiyi were talking about.
Wen Nuan felt that this cat was by no means an ordinary cat.
“On that note, the cat outside the hotel was probably the same one.” Wen Nuan then remembered that in the hotel room that day, he saw a pair of green eyes outside his window…
“Cat?” The eighteen-years-ago Baili Wuchang frowned.
Baili Wuchang said, “It’s not an ordinary cat.”
The tortoiseshell cat was very alert. When it “eavesdropped” on Song Xing and Fan Haiyi’s conversation, it seemed to feel strange gazes on it and immediately turned back to look just in time to see Wen Nuan and the two Baili Wuchangs.
“Meow……”
The tortoiseshell cat meowed softly, jumped forward, and suddenly disappeared without a trace.
“It ran away.” Wen Nuan rubbed his eyes. The tortoiseshell cat ran so fast that he didn’t even see which way it was going.
Wen Nuan raised his head and asked Baili Wuchang, “This cat is weird. It always seems to be hovering around Song Xing. What do you mean when you say it’s not an ordinary cat?”
Baili Wuchang thought for a moment and said, “If we catch it and ask it, then you’ll know.”
Wen Nuan shook his head and said, “But it ran so fast. Last time at the convenience store, it seemed to have disappeared in a flash. We couldn’t get close at all.”
“There is a way.” Baili Wuchang smiled and said, “Didn’t you say that he always hangs around Song Xing?”
“Indeed, it seems to care about Song Xing very much.” After Wen Nuan finished speaking, a troubled expression appeared on his face, and he suddenly came to a realization. “Are you trying to…Isn’t that bad? You’re still a civil servant, even if you are from the Underworld. ”
Baili Wuchang laughed. “As long as the ending is satisfactory, the means are nothing.”
The two people seemed to be speaking in riddles, but the eighteen-years-ago Baili Wuchang also seemed to understand. “I should be able to find someone to help.”
Wen Nuan thought for a while and said, “Then let’s go out tonight. I read through the documents Heibai Wuchang collected, and they said that Song Xing will be working a night shift again at the convenience store in front of the Hell Chain Hotel tonight.”
…
Later that night.
The signboard of the Hell Chain Hotel stood out amongst the darkness. The convenience store diagonally opposite the building looked a bit inconspicuous and shabby.
Song Xing came over on his bicycle and parked it at the same place as last time.
“Meow~”
As soon as he parked his bike, he heard a familiar cat meowing.
“Little buddy, are you hungry?”
Song Xing showed a long-lost smile, lowered his head to look around, and sure enough, he saw a small figure jumping out of the grass, rubbing against his legs coquettishly.
Song Xing deliberately said with mock disgust, “Look at you, where did you go to play in the mud again? How did you get so dirty to turn into a little tortoiseshell? Come here, I’m giving you a bath!”
“Meow.” The little cat was not resistant to bathing. Song Xing picked it up and took it into the convenience store.
He was by himself again during the night shift and felt very lonely. Fortunately, he had a cat to accompany him.
Song Xing brought out a water basin, and the little cat jumped in to allow Song Xing to clean it.
Song Xing gently stroked the cat and sighed, “And here you are, carefree as ever…”
“Meow…” The cat rubbed itself along the back of Song Xing’s hand.
“Look, you’re much cleaner now.” Song Xing quickly bathed the cat. Unexpectedly, the tortoiseshell cat just now turned into a pure white cat with bright green eyes, staring unwaveringly at Song Xing.
Song Xing said, “My Xiao Bai is back again. Please stop rolling in mud. You don’t know how tiring it is to give you a bath.”
Song Xing wiped the cat dry and said, “I’ll prepare dinner for you later. But I haven’t had much money recently, so you may not be able to have a big meal.”
“Meow!!!”
When Song Xing spoke, the obedient white cat in his arms suddenly started to struggle.
“What’s wrong, Xiao Bai?” Song Xing comforted the cat and said, “Good boy, Xiao Bai, you’ll be cleaned up soon.”
The cat was disobedient and jumped out of Song Xing’s arms, running under a shelf and hiding.
“Ding dong—”
The door of the convenience store was pushed open, and a customer walked in, who was very young.
“Welcome.” Song Xing quickly stood up and said in surprise, “It’s you.”
It was a “regular” customer, Wen Nuan.
Wen Nuan strutted in like an adult, looked up at Song Xing, and said, “Big gege, I’m here to buy something.”
Song Xing responded, “It’s so late, are you alone?”
“Yeah.” Wen Nuan nodded and said, “I’m staying in the hotel out front, very close. I’ll go back after I’m done shopping.”
“Then what do you want to buy? It’s not safe to be out this late. Do you want big gege to walk you back?”
Wen Nuan shook his head and said, “No, I just want a bag of chocolates.”
Song Xing took chocolates from the shelf for Wen Nuan. The cat under the shelf poked its head out and seemed relieved to see that Wen Nuan was the only one there.
Wen Nuan gave him money, took the chocolate, waved sweetly to Song Xing, and said, “Goodbye, big gege. I’m going back.”
“Goodbye. Be careful on the road,” Song Xing said.
“Ding dong—”
Wen Nuan pushed open the door of the convenience store, and the cat finally came out.
Wen Nuan left. Logically speaking, the door of the convenience store was supposed to close automatically, but the glass door was stuck on the side due to some malfunction, and the night wind rushed into the door.
“It’s so cold.” Song Xing shivered and turned back to look at the door.
He couldn’t see anything.
“Meow!”
But the little white cat stood up with all its fur on end, staring at the door warily.
Right at the entrance of the convenience store, there was a dark shadow with empty eyes blocking it. No wonder the glass door could not be closed.
The black shadow alternated between being transparent and opaque, as if it were a human figure, but it had no eyes, and the two sockets were dark.
He turned his head slowly, as if observing the convenience store.
Then, he slowly raised one corner of his lips and said, “Oh, how great to see a living person…I want to borrow your eyes.”
“If you don’t say anything, then I will get them myself.”
“What a good person you are…”
The black shadow spoke to itself, and then slowly floated into the convenience store. The door was freed of its obstruction and finally closed together, making a sharp “ding-dong”.
The black shadow moved towards Song Xing little by little, but Song Xing couldn’t see anything and couldn’t feel the danger at all!
“Meow meow meow!”
The little white cat screamed like crazy and rushed towards the black shadow.
“Whoosh—”
The black shadow flashed, and the little white cat was launched into the air, unable to reach anything at all.
“Kitten, don’t meddle if it’s not your own business.” The black shadow smiled sinisterly, not taking the little white cat seriously.
The little white cat hissed and quickly turned to run away. It rushed out of the convenience store.
As soon as the little white cat came out, it saw Wen Nuan walking alone on the road.
The small figure of Wen Nuan was quite eye-catching, and he wasn’t yet too far away.
“Meow meow meow!”
The little white cat kept yowling wildly. It sprinted to catch up with Wen Nuan, biting his sleeve and dragged him frantically, as if hoping he could go back and save Song Xing.
“Meow!”
Wen Nuan lowered his head to look at the cat on his sleeve. A strange smile grew on his face. “Hey, you really fell for the trap.”
As he said so, he reached his hands out towards the cat on his sleeve and grabbed hold of the little white cat, hugging it firmly.
“Great, I got it! I got it!” Wen Nuan shouted joyously.
The little white cat was stunned for a moment when he was hugged by Wen Nuan. It then realized that it might have been deceived.
This was a trap…
The little white cat narrowed its eyes and immediately jumped out of Wen Nuan’s embrace.
Unfortunately, as it leaped, it hit an invisible barrier.
Wen Nuan placed the little white cat on the ground again and said with a smile, “You can’t run away. Even if your throat is raw from screaming, no one can come to save you.”
Invisible barriers suddenly appeared around the little white cat, and it seemed as if he was trapped in a box, unable to move at all.
Of course, the barrier was not set by Wen Nuan, but by someone else.
The little white cat looked back, and sure enough, there were two more figures behind him: two identical Baili Wuchangs.
Wen Nuan squatted down, looked at the little white cat and said, “Don’t worry, no evil spirits will harm Song Xing. The uncle without eyes just now is just a stage actor we invited. He’s actually quite friendly, so he won’t hurt Song Xing.”
No one wanted to do anything to Song Xing. They just wanted to use Song Xing to lure out the little white cat.
This was a well-prepared trap.
The two Baili Wuchangs came over and both looked down at the trapped little white cat.
Baili Wuchang frowned and said two words: “It’s you.”
The little white cat lay on the ground, seemingly giving up resistance completely, hanging its head without any reaction.
When Wen Nuan heard Baili Wuchang’s words, he widened his eyes curiously and said, “Huh? Is this a cat you’ve raised? Seems like you actually know it.”
Baili Wuyi said with a calm expression, “He’s not a cat, he’s just possessing a cat that has died long ago.”
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand at the little white cat and scolded, “Still not revealing yourself?”
A flash of white light burst out from the little white cat’s body, and Wen Nuan felt like he was almost blinded by the shock.
In an instant, the little white cat grew bigger and suddenly turned into an adult man, and he was someone Wen Nuan knew.
“It’s you!”
Wen Nuan said the same thing as Baili Wuchang.
Wen Nuan gaped in shock at the man in white. “Bai Wuchang?”
The little white cat turned into a man, looking exactly like Bai Wuchang. It wasn’t the little bean sprout Bai Wuchang from this world, but the next Bai Wuchang, the one Wen Nuan knew in the normal world—the taciturn Bai Wuchang…
