Chapter 172: Chapter 172: The Ugly Female Ghost_1
Ning Hao naturally saw it as well, but at this point, he dared not move. He had already guessed that the woman in front of him was a ghost, and he had no experience in dealing with ghosts. Rashly acting without a sure chance of success might alert her, potentially affecting Qin Sisi’s actions.
Therefore, Ning Hao could only stay still, like he was sleeping, putting his hopes on Qin Sisi.
The ghost quietly approached without a sound, staring at Ning Hao and Qin Sisi resting on the sofa. A flicker of confusion crossed her eyes, unsure why these two were still in this terrifying bloody cri scene late at night.
Just as the ghost was puzzled and contemplating her next move, Qin Sisi suddenly opened her eyes and quickly leaped from the couch, swinging her Divine Dog’s Fury at the ghost with full force.
The ghost had no ti to defend herself. The Divine Dog’s Fury hit her leg harshly, and black smoke hissed out.
The ghost let out a yell and fell to the ground, frantically patting the wound on her leg in panic.
Seizing this opportunity, a golden light flew out of Ye You’s hand. In the next second, the ghost was tightly bound by a golden rope.
Ning Hao also jumped up quickly, but he was unsure of how to join in, so he hesitated. By the ti he was done hesitating, the fight was already over.
Ning Hao regarded Qin Sisi and Ye You with an incredulous look, forced to acknowledge the mystery and wonder of the world.
With the bound and wounded ghost lying helplessly on the ground, struggling fiercely but still unable to move, Qin Sisi assuredly went to greet her. But upon seeing her face, Qin Sisi froze.
She had only gotten a glimpse of her lower body earlier, noticing that her long pale blue skirt was very graceful, and assud that the ghost was a beautiful woman.
However, the reality was right in front of her, the face was just...too ugly.
Not that Qin Sisi thought that she herself was very beautiful, but the ghost’s face was unusually shocking.
Her eyes were bulging out, the black iris completely exposed and surrounded by a ring of deathly pale sclera, making her look incredibly bizarre.
Her eyelids were double-layered, with about a thumb’s width between the two layers. So bruising was visible on the top set of her eyelids.
Her nose was wide and flat, nearly flush with her face. Her mouth was rather small, but her pouty lips lacked any attractiveness.
She had a small, delicate face, featured a fashionable pointed chin. But her cheeks were too hollow, giving her a malnourished look.
Qin Sisi stared at the face in shock, unable to react.
The ghost, seeing Qin Sisi staring blankly at her face, naturally guessed what she was thinking. She grew angry out of embarrassnt, and yelled in utter exasperation, "Who are you people? Let
go!"
Qin Sisi collected herself and looking down at the ghost, coldly replied, "I should be asking you that. Who are you, a wild ghost who cos here in the middle of the night?"
"It’s none of your business." The ghost glared at Qin Sisi, her eyes nearly spitting fire.
Qin Sisi ignored her anger, and continued to ask, "Did you kill the salon owner and his wife?"
"So what if I did? What if I didn’t?" The ghost had a reckless air about her, being defiant with no intention to communicate.
Ning Hao walked up then, and was also taken aback by her face.
Seeing Ning Hao coming over, the ghost, due to won’s natural shyness around n and her own inferiority complex, forcefully turned her face away, avoiding Ning Hao’s gaze.
Ning Hao naturally couldn’t guess what was going on in the female ghost’s mind, but he rembered a possibility that had been presented during his discussions about the case with his colleagues.
Seeing the ghost’s face, which was horrifyingly ugly, this likelihood beca clearer in Ning Hao’s mind.
He crouched down to look the female ghost in the eye and asked, "Hey, what happened to your face?"
The ghost shuddered violently, and with a sudden, piercing cry, she turned back to Ning Hao and demanded, "What do you think happened? Why don’t you ask those two heartless bosses? Why is it that they got away without punishnt for their wrongdoing?"
As Qin Sisi took in the ghost’s ugly face, a thought suddenly struck her. She crouched down to et the ghost’s protruding eyes, and stated, "They have been punished. Their faces were cut when they died, making them too hideous to look at."
The ghost let out a strange sound, like a cross between a laugh and a sob. She slowly said, "Of course, they had to be too hideous to look at. I’ve waited three years for that day. They had to pay for what they did."
Three years?
A tiline flashed into Ning Hao’s mind. He stared at the ghost sharply, and declared confidently, "I know who you are."
The ghost, who had been looking at Qin Sisi, quickly turned to Ning Hao when she heard his words, shock and disbelief written all over her face.
Ning Hao’s eyes darkened and he slowly and clearly spoke three words, "Xia Ruoyan."
The ghost’s shock was clear on her face as she muttered in disbelief, "How..how did you know?"
Ning Hao gentled his tone and said, "I’m a police officer, I reviewed a lot of material after the salon owners’ death. Three years ago, a young woman died here from falling off a building, reportedly due to plastic surgery gone wrong."
Xia Ruoyan’s body began to tremble, whether from rage or sorrow, it was hard to tell.
Ning Hao continued, "That woman’s na was Xia Ruoyan, which I believe, is you."
After a long silence, Xia Ruoyan finally admitted, "Yes, I am Xia Ruoyan."
Qin Sisi blinked. Xia Ruoyan, a beautiful na.
She reassessed the woman before her eyes, not paying attention to her destroyed face and only considering her slender figure and the graceful light-blue long dress. She must have had a really elegant aura before.
Confused, Qin Sisi asked, "Why did you get plastic surgery?"
Having her true identity revealed, Xia Ruoyan seed rather composed as she replied bitterly, "What other reasons could there be for plastic surgery? Of course, it’s because I wasn’t pretty."
"You..." Qin Sisi was about to ask "you weren’t pretty?
