BPIFC -Volume 1 – Chapter 139 A Confused Yang Xiao

After bringing Director Ren back to the ward, he still hadn’t recovered from the shock. His whole body kept trembling, and cold sweat continued to pour from him.

It had to be said, Director Ren was indeed no ordinary man. After being haunted by a ghost for so long, he had actually managed to hold on until now. For an ordinary person, he would have already been completely overtaken—if Du Hai’s ghost truly came for revenge, Ren Rong either would have “committed suicide” or harmed himself in madness.

At this moment, Yang Shuji had already gone home. Only four of them remained in the ward.

Ren Rong didn’t care anymore that smoking was prohibited in the hospital. He lit a cigarette, took a drag, and steadied himself. Then he took out his phone, accessed the Ministry’s internal network, and pulled up Case 115 of the Top Ten Major Cases from last year—the large-scale murder and drug trafficking case.

“Take a look yourselves…” Ren Rong said with a worried expression as he handed over the phone. Then he squatted on the floor, smoking as he continued:

“This case caused a huge sensation in the Ministry last year. The Du family’s three brothers used overseas-connected victims to commit murders abroad, then smuggled the bodies back into the country hidden with drugs. The social impact was extremely bad.

In the end, the Ministry took charge, and four provincial departments jointly solved the case. After three months of surveillance and setup, the official arrest operation began.

The task force leader was Director Cheng, and I was the deputy leader in charge of arrests.

The operation initially went smoothly, but during the final arrest of the Du brothers, we encountered resistance. They used smuggled firearms to resist arrest, causing casualties among our personnel. In the end, I personally led the team and shot Du Hai dead with my own hands. Du Yin, the third brother, was also killed by armed officers, while the eldest, Du Chen, was captured alive. He was sentenced to death earlier this year and has already been executed…”

Sun Desheng glanced at the case information on the phone. The case had indeed been widely reported; he had heard Yang Shuji mention it during his visit home last year.

But all three criminals were already dead—so how could Du Hai’s ghost suddenly come back for revenge on Ren Rong?

Moreover, Ren Rong had been the one who killed him. Logically, Du Hai’s soul should have been bound by him and unable to return like this.

After reading the file, Sun Desheng pulled up Du Hai’s photo and asked Shen La to confirm. Among them, only Shen La could clearly see the appearance of the ghost earlier.

“It’s him. It’s the same ghost from before,” Shen La nodded. Then he continued, “But there’s a talisman drawn inside his body. I’ve never seen a spell carved into a ghost before.”

As he spoke, Shen La turned slightly and gave Sun Desheng a look, silently mouthing a name:

Yang Xiao.

Sun Fatty smiled and nodded. Then he said to Ren Rong:

“Director Ren, you’re already the head of MinDiaoJu, yet you nearly got possessed by a ghost. Make sure you don’t tell anyone back at the bureau—honestly, in the entire history of MinDiaoJu, you’re probably the first director who almost got possessed. Anyway, that ghost named Du Hai is already gone. You should go home and rest properly, take a bath, relax a bit…”

Thinking back to what had just happened, Ren Rong was still unsettled. Forget going home—he didn’t even dare walk alone at night anymore.

After hesitating, he lit another cigarette, squatted down again, and forced a smile:

“I’m not in a rush to go back. You saw what happened earlier… that ghost really messed with me. I should get a full checkup anyway, since this is a hospital… and it’s ICU… and my heart still doesn’t feel right…”

Sun Desheng chuckled:

“That works too. But this is still a hospital—basically a place where people die all the time. You were almost possessed, your soul isn’t stable, and you’re covered in ghostly energy. If I were a ghost, I’d be eyeing you too. La Zi, what’s that outside? I just saw a shadow flash by.”

Shen La had worked with Sun Desheng for ten years. The moment Sun Desheng spoke, he immediately understood—he was scaring Ren Rong.

The white-haired man followed the lead:

“Boss, you must’ve seen wrong. There’s nothing outside. Maybe it’s just those ghosts from the morgue lining up to possess people. Maybe Director Ren brought them here. They’re probably all targeting his body.”

Thinking back to everything he had just experienced, Ren Rong broke out in a cold sweat again.

Sun Desheng then suggested:

“Director Ren, why hesitate? Call someone from MinDiaoJu to come escort you out. No matter which division, just get a few people to protect you. As long as you’re inside MinDiaoJu, nothing in this world will dare touch you.”

“That’s right, I’m the director of MinDiaoJu…” Ren Rong finally reacted. He quickly took the phone from Sun Desheng and, without caring that they were right there, called the deputy director of Section Five, Xiao Yifeng:

“Director Xiao, do you have time? Come to XX Hospital. Yes, I’m in the ICU. Bring people—more people.”

Seeing him call Xiao Yifeng, Chu Qianzi raised his eyebrows and leaned toward Sun Desheng:

“Fatty, see that? Director Ren and Xiao Yifeng are pretty close. At a time like this, the first person he thinks of is definitely his inner circle.”

Sun Desheng smiled:

“Even Qin Hui had three friends. Why can’t Director Ren have private relationships with Deputy Xiao?”

Shortly after, Xiao Yifeng arrived at the ward within forty minutes. After confirming the situation, he greeted Sun Desheng and took Director Ren away.

Not long after they left, Sun Desheng received a call from Yang Xiao.

Sun Fatty assumed he was calling to take credit, and said with a smile:

“Old Yang, you really went too far this time. Don’t tell me you even summoned that ghost from last year’s case that died under Director Ren…”

On the other end, Yang Xiao sounded confused:

“Wait—what ghost? The one killed by Ren Rong? I only sent a few small spirits. I told them to scare him a bit, make him piss himself, then go harass the women’s restroom…”

After hearing this, Sun Desheng narrowed his eyes.

“Interesting… Old Yang, come back to the hospital. La Zi wants to talk to you.”
