This female ghost….

Oh, no, this lady who was wearing a mask seemed to have been hurt from Lin Wu’s ‘shoving cane’ technique. She sat down on the ground, frowning while her hands were grabbing her chest tightly as she gasped.

To be more accurate, she was holding onto her two bouncy pieces of fat.

After all, Lin Wu had used quite a bit of force earlier. If they were fake breasts, then they might have just——

Boom!

However, she should also be thankful for having quite a voluptuous figure. Otherwise, someone who was just stick and bones might just suffer from fractured ribs from this.

At this moment, the lift stopped on the fifth floor.

“I’m sorry.” Lin Wu quickly went up to her and asked apologetically, “Are you alright?”

Although the lady appeared sickly, from the way she dressed and the watch she was wearing, it was clear that she wasn’t from an ordinary family. If she was injured, he wouldn’t be able to resolve this matter by just monetary compensation.

“What do you think?”

The lady wearing a mask frowned and glared at Lin Wu. She clenched her teeth and asked, “Are you crazy? I merely grabbed your shoulder by accident. Did you have to be so harsh?”

“Cough, this was an accident.” Lin Wu coughed. “I saw that you came from the basement’s mortuary, and your face looked so pale. Moreover, your eyes were also rolled back. I thought that you were a ghost or a zombie and were planning to attack me.”

The lady wearing a mask fell silent before saying in a soft voice, “I just had a bout of low blood pressure and almost fainted earlier. That was why I subconsciously grabbed onto you for support.”

Lin Wu was stunned. He asked, “Then why did you ask ‘You can see me?'”

The lady assessed Lin Wu and then said, “I thought you were blind. You are wearing sunglasses despite being in the lift and are holding onto a cane. Anyone who had seen you would have thought that you’re blind.”

“…”

Lin Wu smiled awkwardly and then said, “I’m sorry. I was a little sensitive… Did I hurt you?”

The lady shook her head and then struggled to get up. However, her vision blurred and she felt weak all over. Even though she grabbed onto the lift’s wall, she still wasn’t able to stand up.

She took another glance at Lin Wu and realized that he was just standing there, not showing any intention of helping her up.

“Hey, can you be more perceptive? Help me up, please?”

Lin Wu answered with an ‘oh’ and then reached out to grab her wrist, pulling her up.

After the lady got up, she leaned against the lift’s wall and inhaled deeply. It was only then did she feel a little better. She then took a glance at Lin Wu and said, “Why did you think that I’m a ghost? Ordinary people wouldn’t think this way, right?

“It’s nothing. I’m just a little sensitive,” Lin Wu said insincerely and then asked, “Are you able to walk by yourself?”

The lady was stunned for a moment. She hadn’t expected this guy to be quite caring toward ladies. She had also wanted to ask him some things, so she decided to let him support her until her destination.

Making up her mind, the lady said, “I’m feeling a little weak now. Why don’t you h…”

“Alright. Wait here for a moment. I’ll go and help you call for a nurse!”

“…”

The lady’s eyes twitched, and she shouted angrily, “Forget it. There’s no need. I’m fine now.”

“So fast?” Lin Wu was stunned.

“Let me ask you a question.” The lady hesitated for a moment before asking in a soft voice, “Your first reaction was to treat me as a ghost. Could it be that you’ve seen a ghost before?”

Lin Wu asked back, “Have you seen one before? What does a ghost look like?”

The lady hesitated for a moment before saying, “Ghosts are people who haven’t died thoroughly and just have unfulfilled obsessions. They should look the same as ordinary people.”

Lin Wu fell silent for a moment before smiling and saying, “I wouldn’t know anything about that. I’m a materialist. How could there be ghosts in this world?”

“… That’s true.”

The lady appeared to be nodding in agreement, but she was secretly criticizing him in her heart.

This guy had thought that she was a ghost earlier, but he was now saying that there weren’t any ghosts in this world. His words were simply contradictory… Could it be that he was intentionally hiding something?

“If there’s nothing else, then I’ll take my leave now.” Lin Wu pressed the button to open the lift’s door and was about to head out.

“Wait a minute.”

The lady suddenly called out toward him. She took out a name card from her pocket and handed it to Lin Wu. She said in a soft voice, “This might not be a good place to talk. If you [1] have some time, I wish to have a good chat with you.”

Lin Wu looked at the name card but didn’t accept it. He asked, “Chat about what? I already have a wife.”

He could guess that although this lady who had come from the mortuary wasn’t a ghost, she might have gotten involved with those unclean things [2].

Moreover, her attitude toward him had been very bad earlier, yet she was now addressing him in a more respectable manner. She probably had something that she needed his help with.

However, Lin Wu was now allergic to ghosts, so it was better for him to stay away from these things.

“You’ve misunderstood. I don’t mean it that way.” The lady quickly said, “There are just some things I need to seek your guidance on. I hope that you can give me a chance.”

“It’s best for you to not meddle with those unclean things.” Lin Wu took a look at her. “You don’t look any different from a ghost now, yet you dare to get involved in their mess?”

The lady’s eyes lit up, and she couldn’t hold back her agitation. Did that mean that this guy could really see ghosts?

She suddenly turned her head slightly, removing her mask and revealing a pale, sickly but beautiful face. She was about 25 to 26 years old, with an oval-shaped face, beautiful sharp brows, and big eyes. It was clear from one look that she was a gentle lady from Jiangnan. Even though she had become a sickly beauty, she still looked delicate like a trembling willow in the wind.

“I’m really sincere in asking for your guidance. Can you give me a chance?”

Lin Wu assessed her. To think that she even went on to reveal her face, was she trying to deploy a honey trap?

Li Luyao had used a honey trap but ended up compensating with the rest of her life.

Yet, this sickly beauty had wanted to ask for his help by just revealing her face? Was she planning to get what she wanted without paying any price for it?

Women these days were really impractical. Did they really think that things would go the way they wanted to with just a beautiful face and then saying some things to express their frail side?

A honey trap?

He already had a beautiful wife and a female ghost wife. If he was pushed down by this sickly beauty, he would have to compensate her a few hundred million. It’d be a great loss.

“Why did you take off your mask?”

Lin Wu wrapped his arms across his chest sluggishly, standing at the lift’s door. He casually said, “It’s not as if you’re Lu Shaoyan. It’s useless even if you were to show your face. Moreover, my wife is a lot more beautiful than you.”

The sickly beauty was stunned. Why did this guy not act in the way she had expected things to?

What was it about Lu Shaoyan?

Moreover, this guy wasn’t handsome, and from his dressing, he didn’t seem to be rich either. How could he have found a wife who was more beautiful than her?

She could only take in a deep breath and then said seriously, “I won’t ask your help for free. State a price. I won’t haggle.”

“State a price?”

Lin Wu was amused. “Ten billion RMB will do. Can you afford it?”

“…”

The sickly beauty couldn’t say a word for a very long time. (I did ask you to state a price, but you really dare to state one without any restraints.)

“Rich people like you shouldn’t recklessly ask people to state a price when you can’t afford it.” Lin Wu chuckled. “You might as well offer ten million. I might just agree to help you.”

The sickly beauty’s eyes lit up and she quickly asked, “Really? Will ten million do?”
