Chapter 312: Chapter 312: The Mysterious Car Accident_1
Qin Sisi briskly walked into the back room of Ju Ya Zhai, where Boss Zheng was already waiting for her by the tea table.
At first glance, Qin Sisi could see a bandage around Boss Zheng’s head.
Startled, Qin Sisi hastily asked, "Uncle Zheng, what happened to you?"
Boss Zheng gave a bitter smile and replied, "Nothing serious. I just had a slight accident on the road when I was returning last night."
Qin Sisi’s complexion changed, she asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"
Boss Zheng shook his head gently, motioning for Qin Sisi to take a seat. Then he said in a soft tone, "Don’t worry, I’ve been examined at the hospital. It’s just a minor external injury, no big deal. I’ll be fine after a few days’ rest."
Qin Sisi felt a little bit relieved, she exhaled lightly and continued to ask, "Uncle Zheng, I always thought you were a reliable driver, how did you have an accident?"
Boss Zheng fell silent for a while before slowly responding, "Actually, I too suspect that the incident is sowhat odd."
With a flicker in her eyes, Qin Sisi understood that this was likely the very reason that Boss Zheng had summoned her.
Qin Sisi looked earnestly at Boss Zheng and insisted, "Uncle Zheng, will you please recount the incident in detail?"
Boss Zheng nodded and began to recount his encounter from the previous night: "After dropping you off, I drove back to the antique market.
When I was passing the intersection of Sifang Street, I suddenly saw an extrely bright white light flash before my eyes, and then I couldn’t see anything.
In a panic, I hit the brakes.
Possibly because I braked too hard, the car spun halfway around on the road, bumping into a flower bed in the middle of the road. My head hit the steering wheel, and I passed out.
But I quickly regained consciousness and then called the police.
When the police ca, they took
to the hospital. Fortunately, nothing major happened. However, the car has to be sent for repairs."
Having a rough understanding of what had transpired, Qin Sisi said apologetically, "Uncle Zheng, I’m sorry. If it weren’t for my insistence on returning last night, this wouldn’t have happened."
Boss Zheng dismissed her apology nonchalantly, "Don’t think like that. This matter was purely an accident that no one could have predicted."
Thinking for a mont, Qin Sisi asked, "Uncle Zheng, did the police say anything about the cause of this incident and where the blinding white light ca from?"
Boss Zheng sighed, "Here is the strange thing, there were only two rows of standard streetlights nearby and no other source of illumination was there. No one can figure out where that bright light ca from.
In addition, I overheard a conversation between two policen saying that this intersection seems a bit strange; so minor car accidents often happen late at night. The drivers usually have no injuries, but their vehicles suffer so damage."
An idea flashed in Qin Sisi’s mind, and she blurted out, "So are you suggesting that..."
Boss Zheng lowered his voice and said, "My incident, of course, will be closed as is. I just wonder if there is sothing unclean at that intersection?"
After so contemplation, Qin Sisi looked at Boss Zheng and said, "Uncle Zheng, that might be possible for others, but you should be wearing so anti-evil talisman! Can those things approach you?"
Boss Zheng shook his head and corrected Qin Sisi’s statent, "It didn’t approach , it just emitted a light from a distance, which disrupted the driver’s vision, leading to the crash."
What Boss Zheng said made sense, Qin Sisi nodded slowly, glanced at Ye You in her arms, and said aloud, "In that case, I’ll go by the intersection of Sifang Street tonight and have a look."
Seeing Qin Sisi’s understanding, Boss Zheng nodded in satisfaction and advised, "Good, but be careful."
Contrary to his words, Boss Zheng was not worried about Qin Sisi. After all, she had subdued the evil spirit in the blue and white Porcelain and dispelled the evil spirit in the Ding’s Mansion in a short period, dealing with a minor evil spirit on the road shouldn’t be a problem for her.
Qin Sisi looked at Boss Zheng for a mont, then asked hesitantly, "Uncle Zheng, if I really catch it, do you plan to have it compensate you?"
Boss Zheng was taken aback and couldn’t help laughing, "Compensate ? What can a ghost compensate
with? Joss paper? Ha ha!"
Embarrassed, Qin Sisi scratched her head, feeling like she had taken a narrow-minded view of the matter.
It seed that Boss Zheng had figured out Qin Sisi’s thoughts and laughed, "I’ll tell you in advance, this is a volunteer effort, there will be no reward."
Qin Sisi casually responded, "It’s fine, anyway, I made a lot of money last night."
Boss Zheng nodded, his smile faded and he said, "Sisi, make money when it’s ti to make money, be benevolent when it’s necessary. Although fortune may not have arrived, disaster has certainly moved away."
Qin Sisi chuckled playfully, "Uncle Zheng, I understand what you an. Regardless of whether or not I’m being paid, I’ll take care of this matter."
Boss Zheng was very satisfied with Qin Sisi’s attitude. Money is a good thing, but if you care about money too much, it can easily lead you astray.
Qin Sisi asked for the precise location of the incident from Boss Zheng, morized it quietly, then said goodbye and left Ju Ya Zhai.
As she walked down the street, Qin Sisi, noticing she was unobserved, whispered to Ye You, "What do you make of this?"
Ye You replied, "Boss Zheng’s suspicion makes sense. We’ll know once we go have a look tonight."
"Okay," Qin Sisi responded, raising her head to look at the sun moving to the west.
Night in winter cos especially early and the afternoon seems very short, as if it passes in the blink of an eye.
When she got back to her place, Qin Sisi had Ye You set up a barrier and concealed herself inside to continue practicing the Fireball Technique.
Qin Sisi began to truly understand the phrase "practice makes perfect".
Under constant practice, what was initially a mysterious and elusive skill was slowly taking shape in her hands.
Even though there were many shortcomings, and she hadn’t yet reached Ye You’s set goal, seeing her success rate gradually increase was always an invigorating experience.
Five hours later, Qin Sisi stopped practicing, took a short rest, and then had dinner with Ye You.
At eleven o’clock in the evening, Qin Sisi put on a black windbreaker, a black mask, and a pointed witch hat. Carrying Ye You, she leisurely walked onto her balcony.
She pushed open the glass window and leapt forward.
"Wings of Rainbow!"
With a shout, splendid, multicolored wings spread out behind her.
Qin Sisi flapped the Wings of Rainbow a few tis, quickly balanced her body.
Ye You promptly created an invisible bubble, hiding the dazzling glow on Qin Sisi’s body in the depth of the night.
Qin Sisi controlled the Wings of Rainbow and flew steadily and swiftly towards the intersection of Sifang Street.
