Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 318 Modern Supernatural 9

The leader noticed a flash of surprise in his eyes when he saw him, and remembered that he had seen this man before.

Does that mean his feeling was right, and the woman who was with him that day was also there?

Could it be that she really has a problem? Otherwise, how could she have found traces of that vengeful ghost from last night here?

An Mu's thoughts raced through his mind in just a few seconds.

He took out an ID card and said, "Excuse me, we are from the Special Department Office. I am An Mu, the person in charge. There is something wrong with your building, and we need to check the whole thing."

Murong Bai glanced at his identification: "Then come in."

"I don't know what to call it?"

"My name is Murong Bai."

Upon hearing this, the three people outside the door went in. One of them was holding an instrument, which looked like a testing device.

As they walked inside, they saw Qiao Chu sitting at the table eating.

After glancing at them, Qiao Chu said to Murong Bai, "Come and eat."

While he went to open the door, she had already gone to the kitchen and brought out the food, which was already served.

An Mu spoke calmly, "Mr. Murong, may I ask who this gentleman is?"

Murong Bai said to An Mu, "She is my girlfriend, Qiao Chu. You can look around as you like. I'm going to eat now."

"Miss Qiao, I'm sorry to bother you!" An Mu nodded.

His gaze kept subtly observing Qiao Chu, and he also glanced at Xiao Chong, who was undergoing testing.

Qiao Chu nodded casually: "Hello."

Xiao Chong walked past Qiao Chu with the instrument in his hand, then shook his head at An Mu. The instrument hadn't made a sound, so she was fine.

Wei Qing came out of the room and shook her head at An Mu.

Qiao Chu remained calm throughout, only glancing at them occasionally out of curiosity during the meal.

Finding no problems anywhere, An Mu could only say, "We've checked your house and there are no issues. Thank you for your cooperation."

Murong Bai stood up, relieved. "Alright, I'll see you out."

He had been very nervous, afraid that they would discover something was wrong.

After seeing the people off, Murong Bai returned to the table and sat down: "I was worried they might have noticed something?"

"Don't worry, no one can tell!" Qiao Chu said confidently.

Murong Bai's eyes lit up: "How did you manage to keep your identity a secret from them?"

"Of course I'm better," Qiao Chu said with a smile.

Murong Bai's eyes were full of smiles as he nodded and said, "Yes, you're very capable."

He genuinely believed it, because ever since they became intimate, he had noticed that Qiao Chu had developed a body temperature and seemed no different from a human in other aspects.

After An Mu and his two companions finished inspecting a building and walked out of the residential area, Xiao Chong said, "Boss, Qiao Chu in apartment 401 on the fourth floor should be fine."

“She can eat normally, and the testing device didn’t go off, so she should be a normal person,” Wei Qing said.

An Mu nodded, finally putting aside his previous thoughts: "That vengeful ghost must have been in this building last night, but she escaped again."

"Boss, vengeful ghosts are always harder to catch."

"Yes, they are quite perceptive; they run away as soon as there's a problem."

Qiao Chu sat on the sofa watching TV when Xiao Qi's voice rang in her mind: "Host, those people no longer suspect you!"

"I understand," Qiao Chu replied casually.

Even if they doubt her, she's not afraid, because even if they have some ability, they're just ordinary people to her.

Murong Bai sat down with a plate of fruit in his hand: "Would you like some?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Chu moved over and sat against him. Murong Bai smiled and fed her fruit with a fork.

Qiao Chu noticed that Murong Baitian seemed restless, spending all his time at home.

He always needed to find something to do every day, so she invested in opening a coffee shop for him and had him work there.

If he hires someone else to help, he'll have time to come back and cook.

At first, Murong Bai was unwilling for Qiao Chu to spend money to open a shop for him, but Qiao Chu directly offered to make him the shop manager and only pay him a salary each month.

Murong Bai had no reason to refuse now. He had initially refused the salary because he still owed her money, so he offered the salary to pay off the debt.

Qiao Chu didn't mind paying him a few months less in salary; he just wanted to give him something to do.

Anyway, there was a coffee shop that had been opened in another dimension before, so Qiao Chu had experience. After making the arrangements, she handed it over to Murong Bai to manage.

This way, I have income, I can relax and do nothing, and I've even made arrangements for Murong Bai—perfect.

When Murong Bai got busy, he looked even more energetic, always full of vitality. Qiao Chu didn't understand, but she respected him.

He must have been so unlucky before that he couldn't even find a normal job. Now that he can be busy, he feels he has found his value.

Qiao Chu usually goes to the shop in the afternoon to sit, drink coffee, and watch Murong Bai work.

At the table by the French windows sat Qiao Chu, dressed in a red dress. She had inherited the original owner's taste and was often dressed in red.

She propped her head up with one hand and stirred the coffee in her cup with a spoon in the other.

His gaze would sometimes sweep across the pedestrians outside the window, and sometimes fall on Murong Bai, who was busy at the bar.

Wearing a white shirt and black pants, with a dark brown apron around his neck, Murong Bai, after a period of good food and drink, was completely different from when he first started out.

Her features are delicate and her lines are smooth. She has also gained some weight and is no longer just bony to the touch. She looks just right now.

Tall, broad-shouldered, and long-legged, and also good-looking, Qiao Chu looked at him with satisfaction, thinking that this could be considered another form of nurturing.

As if sensing her gaze, Murong Bai looked over and smiled at her.

With her red lips and white teeth, gentle and obedient personality, and infectious smile, Qiao Chu's gaze unconsciously deepened.

The customers had all placed their orders, and the two people at the bar had finished their work.

Shop assistant Xiao Chen walked up to Murong Bai and joked with a smile, "Manager, the boss has come to see you again. You two have such a good relationship."

"Mm." Murong Bai's eyes were full of smiles.

Qiao Chu took out her phone, sent a message to Murong Bai, and then stood up and walked out.

As she passed the bar, she noticed Murong Bai's gaze following her. Qiao Chu waved her phone at him and then left the store.

After Murong Bai could no longer see her, he took out his phone and saw the message she had sent. His ears began to burn.

He glanced around the shop; it wasn't busy at the moment. He said to Xiao Chen, "I have something to do; I'm going out for a bit."

"Okay, manager, you can go ahead and get busy," Xiao Chen said with a smile.

Murong Bai nodded, took off his apron, and walked out with his phone in his hand.

In the hotel next door, Qiao Chu was taking a shower in the bathroom upstairs. Estimated the time, she wrapped herself in a bath towel and went out.

Just then, the doorbell rang. When she opened the door, she saw Murong Bai standing there. Qiao Chu smiled and said, "You're here!"

As she spoke, she pulled the man's hand and brought him in. The redness on Murong Bai's ears hadn't faded yet, and his face was also slightly flushed.

He looked at Qiao Chu, who was only wearing a bath towel, and asked with a conflicted expression, "Won't it be bad during the day?"

Not just during the day, but they deliberately went out to book a hotel room.
