Chapter 153 Ming Na (ETL) Part 2
===
Chapter 153 Gu Ye is Heaven’s Favorite Son!
Just as everyone was offering suggestions, both amused and exasperated, Ming Na stirred. Xie Cheng exclaimed in surprise, “Aiyo, he’s not dead!”
Everyone quickly turned him over, and when they saw his face, they were all shocked. Ming Na’s ghostly aura had completely vanished, but his face suddenly looked more than 20 years older. He looked like he was past middle age, his face was pale, and wrinkles had appeared at the corners of his eyes.
“The way he looked just now, he must have been pushing himself to the limit. Unfortunately, his skills were lacking; before he could even put his skills to any effect, he was already dead.”
“Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. Serves him right!”
Ming Na slowly awoke, trembling as he raised his hand. Looking at the fine lines on his hand, he said despairingly, “Why? I’ve paid such a price, and I still can’t beat you? My teacher couldn’t beat your teacher, I couldn’t beat your senior brother, and I lost to you twice. Even now, I still can’t beat you?”
Gu Ye looked down at him condescendingly, “Perhaps I’ve done too many good deeds. God is protecting me.”
Ming Na, his eyes red, stared at Gu Ye for a long time. “Who exactly are you?”
Gu Ye scoffed, “I am Gu Ye, who else could I be?”
Ming Na’s pupils contracted, “You are Gu Ye! You are Gu Ye! You’re not dead!”
Xie Cheng kicked Ming Na impatiently, “Bullshit, he’s alive and well, who the hell are you cursing!”
Picking up the dagger that had fallen beside him, Ming Na leaped up and frantically lunged at Gu Ye, yelling, “You’ll come to hell with me! Gu Ye! You’re Gu Ye!”
Xie Cheng and the other man each pounced on Ming Na, pinning him to the ground. “Are you crazy?! Shouldn’t you commit seppuku if you lose? What kind of person are you to kill someone else?”
Gu Ye took out his phone and called Mu Jingfei to call the police. They couldn’t kill Ming Na, and letting him stay in the country was too dangerous. Gu Ye said seriously, “I want to make a report. Someone killed at least 10 children, and now he’s trying to kill me, but we’ve subdued him.”
Upon hearing that 10 children had been killed, Mu Jingfei anxiously asked, “Where is this beast?”
Gu Ye sent Mu Jingfei an address and took a picture of Ming Na. Xie Cheng and the others had already tied him up with a rope.
Mu Jingfei quickly arrived with her men and saw so many people with Gu Ye. Then, looking at the talismans and cinnabar on the ground, which resembled some kind of ritual, she asked, “What are you doing…?”
Gu Ye said solemnly, “It was him. He killed at least 10 children. He tried to kill me just now, but my friend stopped him. This is the murder weapon.” Gu Ye pointed to the dagger at his feet, then to the pillar. “We didn’t touch him; he ran into the pillar himself.”
Mu Jingfei looked down at the writing on the dagger; it wasn’t Chinese. “The children he killed weren’t from our country, were they?”
Gu Ye shook his head. “No.”
Mu Jingfei sighed and poked Gu Ye. You really know how to cause trouble, even messing with foreigners!
Gu Ye shrugged innocently. The other side had struck first.
Mu Jingfei gestured, “Arrest him first. We’ll go back and apply for the necessary paperwork, then send him back.”
Ming Na said weakly, “I’m not from your country, what can you do to me?”
Gu Ye laughed, “I can still make you die after you return home.”
Ming Na scoffed, “I’ve lost all sense of purpose in life. Just kill me now, I don’t want to go back.”
Gu Ye waved his hand, “I’d rather kill a chicken and make soup than waste that time.”
“Gu Ye!” Ming Na was pulled up, turning to look at Gu Ye: “Are you him?”
Gu Ye chuckled. “I don’t understand what you’re saying. I need to find my daughter. Has anyone seen my Ling Ling?”
Ming Na gave a bitter smile. “Indeed, you’re favored by heaven. Why can’t heaven show me a little mercy?”
As Xiao Wang pulled Ming Na along, he also didn’t understand what he meant and simply said, “Maybe it’s because you didn’t do any good deeds.”
After taking Ming Na away, Mu Jingfei asked Gu Ye, “What’s wrong with this guy?”
But Gu Ye only warned Mu Jingfei, “He’s in our line of work, killing without a trace. I don’t know if anyone noticed his killings back in his country. He’s made 10 ghost dolls, each containing the soul of a child. Be careful.”
At this moment, 2 people raised their hands, “Let us help you take him home. This person is somewhat dangerous; an ordinary person might not be able to handle him.”
Mu Jingfei gratefully said, “Thank you.”
After seeing them off, Gu Ye quickly looked for his daughter, “Has anyone seen Ling Ling carrying those little dolls anywhere?”
Fan Xiao pointed to the exit, “She flew out from there.”
Gu Ye said helplessly, “This child, why did she run away?”
Ye Li floated out from beside Gu Ye at this moment, “Who told you to praise them as cute?”
Gu Ye: “…Thank you for your trouble, go find your sister.”
Ye Li snorted and floated away. Gu Ye sighed. Raising a spoiled little girl and then a cold, arrogant eldest son was too much for him.
The rest of the people looked at Gu Ye, still a little bewildered. “Gu Ye, you’re amazing!”
“Where did you learn so many forbidden techniques?”
“This…” Gu Ye scratched his head, “I read them in a book. Want to try them out?”
Everyone laughed awkwardly. “No, some things aren’t to be touched lightly. Ming Na’s fate is a prime example.”
“Right, but you were actually fine after using it.” Fan Xiao touched Gu Ye’s arm. “Still like a human. I remember, your senior brother could also use that lightning strike.”
Gu Ye slapped Fan Xiao’s hand away. “Don’t be silly, we’re from the same school, we learned from the same book.”
While everyone was discussing Gu Ye, Ming Na had already been taken to the police station. After Ming Na was locked up, Xiao Wang asked Mu Jingfei while writing an application report, “Captain Mu, hasn’t your application been approved yet? If Ming Na really killed someone, why didn’t anyone notice? If there are other masters of mystic arts like this in the country, what do we do? It’s happened before, but finding evidence is too difficult. These kinds of cases should be handled by these kinds of people.”
Mu Jingfei tapped the table. “Don’t meddle in things that aren’t your business. Don’t ask questions. If you say another word, I’ll shut you up.”
Xiao Wang quickly lowered his head to write his application report, not daring to utter another word.
After returning to her office, Mu Jingfei prepared a detailed report on Ming Na’s situation and sent it out. She also mentioned needing Gu Ye and his team’s help when applying for an escort. Shortly afterward, she received a reply with a word: “Approved.”
Mu Jingfei smiled, picked up her water glass, and took a sip with a smile. If there were an underground department composed entirely of mystical practitioners, it would save a lot of trouble. The higher-ups had actually been considering this for a while. It’s difficult to find evidence of murders committed by people in this circle; only people in this circle can find it, and they solve cases quickly. They had been hesitant before, but this case with Ming Na really gave it a push.
…
As Gu Ye exited the building, he saw a familiar car in front of him and quickly ran over. “Yu Ze, how long have you been waiting?”
Yu Ze calmly replied, “After you went in.”
Gu Ye got into the car and hugged Yu Ze. “I really know what I’m doing; I won’t do anything reckless.”
Yu Ze patted Gu Ye on the back. “I believe you can win, but I’m still worried.”
Gu Ye hugged Yu Ze tightly, moved. Listening to Yu Ze’s strong heartbeat and thinking of Yu Ze’s feelings waiting outside, Gu Ye immediately promised, “Then I won’t duel anyone anymore.”
Yu Ze smiled. “Okay, let’s go home.”
…
As dawn approached, Ye Li brought Ling Ling back. After absorbing the resentment of 10 little ghosts, Ling Ling had grown a full 5 centimeters taller, almost the size of a newborn baby. However, because the resentment was so intense, she had absorbed too much and had fallen into a deep sleep. Ye Li carried her back by the back of her collar.
When Gu Ye woke up in the morning, he saw Ling Ling lying on the sofa. After checking her over and making sure she was alright, he relaxed and asked Ye Li, “Where did you find her?”
Ye Li replied disdainfully, “The junkyard.”
“What about the dolls?”
Ye Li answered helplessly, “The soul was released from the doll, but the doll’s body was thrown into the trash heap.”
Hearing that, Gu Ye was speechless. How could she be so jealous? He glanced instinctively at Yu Ze, who was washing up. Who did she take after for her personality?
Gu Ye picked up Ling Ling and carried her upstairs. “Let her sleep. She won’t wake up for the next few days; she’s absorbed too much resentment.”
Sister Hong Dou said gently, “Don’t worry, I’ll watch over her.”
Gu Ye touched Ling Ling’s small hand and found it was even warmer than before, approaching normal human temperature. “This child… where’s the bead?”
Gu Ye searched Ling Ling’s pockets but couldn’t find the bead that could exude warmth by itself. “Lost it?”
Hong Dou took out the small cloth bag hanging around Ling Ling’s neck. “Here it is. She wears it like a treasure.”
Gu Ye opened it and exclaimed in surprise, “How come it’s so much smaller?”
The heat emanating from the bead continued to flow into Ling Ling’s body. Gu Ye watched for a while, then smiled, “This is this girl’s good fortune.” He put the bead into a cloth bag and carefully hid it for Ling Ling, saying, “She’s truly my daughter.”
…
After going through a series of procedures, Ming Na was finally ready to return to China. Mu Jingfei asked Gu Ye for help, saying, “Find a few people to help me. I’m afraid he’ll run away halfway. If he wants to die, let him go back to his country to die. Don’t let him die in our hands.”
Gu Ye mentioned this in the group chat, and many idle people volunteered: [I’ll go! Helping the police officers, it’ll be a good deed!]
[Where to take him? Is there a free flight?]
[Reimburse my travel expenses, and I can send him back to China!]
Gu Ye instructed Xie Cheng to find two reliable and diligent individuals. Someone like Fan Xiao, even if he signed up, was excluded. Such a foolish kid shouldn’t be allowed to cause trouble. Xie Cheng was also cautious, fearing that something might happen to Ming Na in China and cause unnecessary trouble. He sent 2 people, and personally accompanied Ming Na from the police station all the way to the airport, where his people from his country would pick him up. Xie Cheng only left after watching Ming Na board the plane.
Upon returning, Xie Cheng called Gu Ye. “Don’t worry, he’s sent away. Such a dangerous person like him, he’s on the blacklist and banned from entering the country.”
Not long after, Xie Cheng called Gu Ye again, “Holy crap! Gu Ye! Ming Na’s in trouble! He just went up and came back down!”
Gu Ye frowned. “Why are you so alarmed?”
Xie Cheng said, half-laughing, half-crying, “Apparently, he suddenly had difficulty breathing, like a heart attack, and died suddenly.”
Gu Ye: “This…”
Xie Cheng said admiringly, “I know you didn’t do it.”
Gu Ye was speechless. “What I mean is, did those little kids look for him? Ling Ling let them go, so they’ll definitely want to go home and follow Ming Na’s scent to find him.”
“Those little kids did follow us the whole way. When we were there, they didn’t dare get close. I don’t know what they did after we left.”
At this moment, the group chat exploded: [Gu Ye is incredibly lucky! It’s terrifying!]
[Gu Ye must be God’s favorite son! What kind of fate does Gu Ye have?]
[How much purple energy did Gu Ye absorb from President Yu? It’s terrifying!]
[Think about Ming Na crashing into the pillar; if he hadn’t tackled Gu Ye, he probably wouldn’t have hit his head!]
[Gu Ye is so lucky, yet he still encounters so much bad luck every time he’s with Xie Cheng. Xie Cheng is the most terrifying!]
[Xie Cheng is truly terrifying! Xie Cheng is the king of bad luck.]
[Crown Xie Cheng! Send him to Africa to be a chieftain!]
Gu Ye saw the chat history constantly flowing in the group and clicked on it. After seeing these messages, he guiltily sent a message: [Yes, Xie Cheng is truly terrifying.]
Xie Cheng: […]
