Chapter 668 Posthumous Affairs
The matter between Huang Song and Li Zunle was settled, and Ranran inexplicably felt relieved, as if everything was finally settled.
She summarized her experience since coming down the mountain:
From the moment she visited the Shen family and got involved in the incident involving Shen Dingchuan and Jiang Yali, she got to know the Shen family and the most important person, Shen Dinghai.
She gained two nephews and a niece. The poor eldest nephew was targeted by Jiang Yali because he was handsome and rich. Jiang Yali raised a little ghost to make Shen Dingchuan develop a strange obsession with her.
Ran Ran could tell something was wrong at first sight, a handsome young man suddenly had a black forehead. So, she and Shen Dinghai went to the residence of Jiang Yali, her fiancée's wife, to investigate. However, they accidentally entered the territory of the ghost An An. After the efforts of her and Shen Dinghai, the ghost An An was liberated. Huang Song, the mysterious man whom Jiang Yali regarded as a support, was scared away by Ran Ran, and Jiang Yali herself disappeared.
Shen Dingchuan's dilemma was solved, and the Shen family saw Ranran's true ability. After that, problems that needed to be solved by Ranran came one after another.
Ran Ran first discovered that her niece was not her niece, and that another person's soul had taken over her body. At the same time, it happened that Mr. Shen's best friend Song Qinian was suddenly rumored to be seriously ill, and he offered a huge reward for anyone who could cure him.
Ran Ran had no choice but to prioritize things. She first accompanied the Shen family to the hospital, where she met Sang Mei, Qin Yan, Li Zunle, Li Zhengming and others. Then she followed the "terrified and helpless" man Wei Kaiyan to Song Qinian's residence, Xinxin Manor, but unexpectedly found that it had been occupied by a powerful peach blossom demon ghost.
Ran Ran and his team untied Tao Yao's heart knot, allowing her to be willing to dissipate and no longer be trapped by unworthy feelings. They then rescued Song Qinian and found out the culprit of the "Yin Taohua" incident - nanny Wei Kaiyan.
Before one crisis is over, another crisis arises. Wu Pannan, who lives in Shen Mingzhu's body, is stimulated and will completely disappear within seven days. Ranran and Shen Dinghai embark on a journey to fulfill Wu Pannan's wish. The three of them go to the remote mountain village of Gude Village.
It was a vampire den built on women. Ranran, Shen Dinghai, and Wu Panan who returned to his hometown quickly learned about the local situation, uncovered the true face of the evil god, and called on the women in the village to take action. Eventually, this evil place was burned down. Wu Panan finally left this world that she missed with satisfaction.
Not long after leaving Goode Village, rumors of ghosts spread again at the construction site of Shen Group. In order to resolve the rumors against the group, Ranran and Shen Dinghai went to that land where ordinary people were struggling to survive. They worked together to crack the supernatural incidents and find out the truth, so that Lao He's death could be vindicated.
After that, she followed the clues about the Sacred Heart Hospital she got on the construction site, and went to the hospital famous for its no negative reviews with Shen Dinghai. Ranran and Shen Dinghai discovered the evil deal hidden in it - the hospital took away the healthy and strong bodies of ordinary people under the pretext of treating diseases, and implanted the consciousness of the rich into them.
It was from this that Ranran came into contact with the Non-Investigation Bureau and decided to work for it. At the same time, he learned the concept of horror caves for the first time.
Looking back on the past, Ranran felt dazed and unreal.
Time passed quickly, and Ranran felt that she had not experienced much with Shen Dinghai, and everything was about to end.
But looking back on all the experiences, Ranran felt that she and Shen Dinghai had been together for a long time.
Just like the passage of time and the ups and downs of life are always out of control, Ranran can only accept what has happened with complicated emotions.
And now, for Ranran...the only thing left to be resolved is the last matter of Sang Mei.
Sang Mei's identity is clear. She is the descendant of Wu Ning. She is heartbroken because Ran Ran killed Wu Ning with her own hands. Although Ran Ran cannot know how Sang Mei sensed this, she can be sure that Sang Mei is heartbroken because of this incident.
Sang Mei did nothing wrong and knew nothing.
Ranran wanted to comfort her, but didn't know where to start.
Perhaps it was because Ranran kept his gaze on her for too long, Sang Mei finally broke free from that ghostly state. She looked up at Ranran and spoke softly.
“…Why did you kill him…”
Ran Ran didn't even frown, "Because he is the culprit who made this world so bad."
Sang Mei smiled, and tears rolled down her cheeks, "...You actually think so too?" The smile on her face looked ironic and absurd.
Ran Ran frowned slightly, "He admitted it himself..."
Ranran didn't finish her words because she suddenly realized that what Wu Ning told her in person might not be true.
Wu Ning is a madman, and what a madman says is always half true and half false, not to mention that Wu Ning was very emotional at the time.
Maybe he said those words on purpose to make Ranran misunderstand.
As expected, Sang Mei's smile became more and more desolate, "Everyone betrayed him, but you can't...why..."
Ran Ran was distracted for a second, and then said coldly: "I thought you hated his close relationship with me, and would rather see you close to him before?"
"Yes!" Tears welled up in her eyes, and Sang Mei said bitterly: "I do hope that he will not be obsessed with you, but that is nothing compared to his life!"
Ran Ran exhaled, "You have to know that Wu Ning is already dead. The one that you care about so much is just a soul."
"I know that!" Sang Mei looked at Ran Ran coldly, "You may have forgotten that I am a ghost cultivator."
"I am more proficient than you in identifying ghosts!"
"Then why are you so heartbroken because a soul dissipated? As a ghost cultivator, shouldn't this be something you are most used to?"
Sang Mei wiped the tears from her face expressionlessly, "It's commonplace because I don't care about those souls."
"Master Ning is different."
"He is the only one in the world who is kind to me. He is the only one willing to teach me and help me..." Sang Mei lowered her head and looked at her palm, "All my ghost cultivation skills were taught to me by him..."
Ran Ran calmed down and decided to tell her about the relationship between her and Wu Ning, even though it might lead to some bad speculations.
But as long as she can get over the grief, what does it matter?
"Although you have always been dissatisfied with Wu Ning's obsession with me, you must be able to feel the special way he treats you." Ran Ran looked calmly at Sang Mei, who had a gloomy face.
"How could I not feel it?" Sang Mei's face showed a trance, "Before he discovered your existence, Lord Ning was the most special to me..."
"He said I was the only one he chose in the world."
Ran Ran spoke the truth mercilessly, "No matter what misunderstandings you have about your relationship, I must tell you."
"Wu Ning, also known as Sang Ning, is your ancestor."
"That's where your specialness to him comes from, because..."
"You are his blood."
Sang Mei's face suddenly turned pale.
