Chapter 94: Demolished Long Ago
Yun Qin didn’t expect that the Soul Bead could still absorb ghosts, so she continued to ask. “There’s a lot of evil energy in there?”
The greedy ghost nodded vigorously again.
Yun Qin felt that she was an expert in greedy-ghost-language. She thought for a while and said to the greedy ghost, “Why don’t you go in and try again?”
Therefore, the greedy ghost shuttled through the Soul Bead several times before Yun Qin finally felt relieved.
She originally thought that the Soul Bead was a time bomb that absorbed evil energy. She did not expect that while inside Yun Qin’s body, the Soul Bead could also store ghosts. This was definitely a blessing in disguise.
Now, Yun Qin could bring the greedy ghost with her everywhere she went.
After taking a shower and changing her clothes, Yun Qin looked at the time and decided to do something that had been on her mind.
She still remembered that Hu Luo, the tree spirit, asked her to find her family so they could go collect her body.
Meida Studio.
Yun Qin entered the name into her navigation software and found a place with the same name. Furthermore, the studio was not too far from Yun Qin’s home. She could drive there in half an hour.
After confirming the place, Yun Qin drove to Meida Studio using her navigation software.
However, when she arrived at the destination, Yun Qin was dumbfounded when she saw dilapidated old residential buildings.
Just then, Yun Qin saw an old man napping at the gate, so she went up to him and asked, “Sir, may I know how to get to Meida Studio?”
The old man raised his eyes slightly and glanced at her. Then, he fanned himself and said, “Who are you?”
“Ah, my relative worked for the studio. I’m here to look for her.”
“Haha, looking for someone?”
The old man laughed strangely and replied lazily, “You won’t be able to find her.”
After that, the old man looked at Yun Qin and did not say anything else.
Yun Qin understood the unspoken rule when dealing with people such as him. She smiled and stuffed a few bills into his hand. Then, she said, “I don’t quite understand. Please give me some pointers.”
As soon as the old guard received the money, he immediately sat up straight and coughed lightly. “Ahem, here. Look, this entire area belongs to Meida Studio.”
Looking at the old residential buildings that the old guard pointed at, Yun Qin wanted to say something but hesitated.
“The studio building was demolished decades ago. Most of the employees left, and the ones who didn’t leave moved into this neighborhood.”
“Then why don’t I see the original site? Why are there only residential buildings here?”
The guard looked at her with a look that said, “how do you not understand?” He explained, “Working for a studio at that time was considered an ‘unsackable’ profession. Studios were sponsored and managed by the government! Even if the original studio building was demolished, the government still had to give the employees homes, right? So they built these residential buildings. The people living here were all old employees of the studio.”
Yun Qin did not expect that her only clue would lead to a dead end. She was troubled for a moment but did not give up. She asked, “Sir, how long have you been here?”
“Hmph, I’m as old as the studio is.”
She did not expect that the old guard had been here for so long. Yun Qin’s eyes lit up slightly, and then she asked, “Sir, do you know Hu Luo?”
“No, I don’t. There are so many people with the surname Hu here. How are you going to find a specific one?”
The old man waved his hand, indicating that he did not support Yun Qin’s actions.
Yun Qin could only place her hopes on the old staff who lived here.
This apartment complex was called Meida Residential Area. The buildings were dilapidated and housed a lot of transient people. It would be difficult to find Hu Luo’s family.
Therefore, Yun Qin could only print out a stack of missing person notices. However, since she didn’t have any photos of Hu Luo or any other useful information, she could only describe the clothes that she wore the day she died and what she did for work.
At this moment, Yun Qin received a call from Grandpa Song’s butler. “Miss Yun, Old Master wanted me to tell you that those two people are here now. They are conversing with Old Master in the tea room. You can come over now.”
“Oh, okay. I’ll come over now. Thank you, Mr. Shen.”
After asking the guard to help her put up the missing person notice, Yun Qin immediately drove to the Song family’s old residence.
Butler Shen came to greet her at the door. He led Yun Qin to the tea room door and left.
However, Yun Qin stared at the tea room and started to worry.
How was she going to help them catch ghosts without making them resist her efforts?
As she thought about it, Yun Qin came up with a plan.
Through a wall, Yun Qin drew out some of her evil energy and poured it all into Li Sheng and Wang Qin who were chatting with Old Master Song. Then, she wrote a note and handed it to Butler Shen, who brought it to Old Master Song.
Then, Yun Qin began to eavesdrop on the conversation.
“Old Master Song, I’ll leave this matter to you. I can’t thank you enough.”
That was a man’s voice. It should be Li Sheng.
“Yes, Old Master Song has taken great care of our family. We will never forget your kindness,” Wang Qin said.
