Chapter 276 Starting a New Life
Li Jian's gaze swept across the living room wall, where Mr. Li's portrait still hung. But now, the face in the photo had returned to its original gentle smile, and the blood at the corner of his eyes had disappeared.
It was as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.
However, Li Jian knew that it was definitely not an illusion.
He took a deep breath and said softly, "Ah Zhen, some things may be beyond our understanding. But no matter what, I will protect you."
Li Jian took a deep breath, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked tired but determined.
He knew that blood from the tip of the tongue was indeed a highly yang substance, containing the purest essence of the human body, capable of dispelling evil and eliminating wickedness, with effects similar to those of blood from the middle finger.
The mouthful of blood from the tip of his tongue not only dispelled the surrounding darkness but also temporarily suppressed his resentment and anger.
His gaze swept across the living room wall again, where Mr. Li's portrait still hung. But now, the face in the photo had returned to calm, as if the distortion and resentment from before had never existed.
However, Li Jian knew that the resentment had not completely dissipated; it had only been temporarily suppressed.
On the night of the return of the soul, the dead old Li will definitely come back.
He said in a low voice, "Ah Zhen, this place might not be safe. We need to find a way to solve this problem completely, otherwise there will be more trouble in the future."
A flicker of fear crossed Mrs. Li's eyes, but she quickly nodded, her voice firm: "Jian, I'll listen to you. Whatever you say, we'll do."
Li Jian took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes: "We need to find the root of the problem and figure out why Mr. Li has become like this. Only by resolving his obsession can we truly let him rest in peace."
A complex emotion flickered in Mrs. Li's eyes. She sighed softly and said in a low voice, "Perhaps... he can't let go of me and Xiaolong."
Li Jian nodded, his tone gentle: "Ah Zhen, let bygones be bygones. You and Xiao Long need a new life, and Mr. Li... also needs to find peace."
A tear welled up in Mrs. Li's eyes, but she didn't let it fall. She simply nodded gently and said, "Jian, thank you. I feel much more at ease with you here."
Li Jian smiled slightly and squeezed her hand: "Let's go, let's leave here first, and think of a solution tomorrow."
Li Jian arranged for his wife and Xiaolong to stay at a hotel outside for the night.
Although the ghost Lao Li can only possess people and harm them on the night of his return, no one can guarantee that he won't do something evil beforehand.
If he were to lean over Mrs. Li and, in the midst of his pleasure, deliver a fatal blow, then it would be a loss that outweighs the gain.
"I heard that black dog blood can ward off evil spirits. I'll be back on the hour tomorrow and give that deadbeat Old Li a good beating with dog blood!"
Li Jian is not one to let a loss go unpunished.
Old Li's actions almost made him die.
He might even develop psychological trauma when he's with other women in the future.
the next day.
Li Jian appeared in the office with two huge dark circles under his eyes.
"Teacher Li, you don't look well. Didn't you sleep well?"
The discipline director, Lin Zuodong, happened to walk to the office door and asked with concern.
Li Jian is very generous.
He treated everyone to meals and had fun as soon as he joined the company. Every day it was takeout and coffee. Li Jian even gave Lin Zuodong two boxes of Cuban cigars separately.
The school leaders and teachers all praised Li Jian highly.
Li Jian rubbed his temples and said, "Hey, don't even mention it. The soundproofing in my house isn't very good. Last night, the people downstairs were yelling all night in response to the call to have a baby, so... hehe."
Li Jian gave him a look that every man understands.
Lin Zuodong laughed heartily: "Teacher Li is still so humorous. Our school has a lounge where you can catch up on some sleep."
Li Jian shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm going to sleep. The other teachers still have to help me with my lessons, so I can't trouble them."
Lin Zuodong said, "It's only right to help each other, and everyone understands that."
"I'd better not. It's only my second day at work, and besides, the students really enjoy my classes. I can't stand them up."
Li Jian still refused.
Seeing that Li Jian insisted, Lin Zuodong didn't try to persuade him any further. He lowered his voice and said, "Teacher Li, do you have time tonight to go for a drink?"
Hey!
This old guy has tasted the sweetness of success.
Li Jian said, "Director Lin, I just started dating a girlfriend, and she'll complain if I drink too much. How about this, I'll arrange a place for you, and you can just give her my name when you get there."
Lin Zuodong feigned reluctance, saying, "How could I possibly accept that?"
Li Jian smiled and said, "Director Lin, please don't be so polite. We're all friends, this is nothing. Besides, you're so busy with work, it's only right that you relax a little sometimes."
Lin Zuodong feigned hesitation, but finally nodded: "Alright then, since you put it that way, I'll respectfully comply. But please don't go to such trouble next time."
Li Jian smiled and nodded: "No problem, Director Lin, don't worry, we'll arrange something else next time."
After seeing Lin Zuodong off, Li Jian looked back.
Li Jian walked into the office, his gaze sweeping over He Min. Seeing her head down, frantically organizing documents, he raised an eyebrow. He walked to her desk and asked in a relaxed tone, "Ms. He, what are you busy with?"
He Min stiffened slightly upon hearing his voice, then looked up and forced a smile: "N-nothing, Teacher Li."
He Min was wearing a white office lady uniform, which was simple and capable yet still exuded feminine grace.
Her shoulder-length hair hung neatly beside her ears, with the ends slightly curled inwards, making her look both neat and gentle.
The fitted white shirt perfectly accentuated her figure, highlighting her slender waist and soft shoulder lines, giving her an air of intellectual elegance.
She wore a pair of black high heels with slender heels, which made her legs look even longer and straighter.
The black stockings clung tightly to her skin, extending from her ankles to just above her knees. The stockings were smooth and delicate, making her leg lines look even more perfect.
Her feet were placed quietly in her high heels, her toes slightly upturned, making her look both elegant and playful.
He Min sat at her desk, a document in her hand, her expression focused. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes revealed a hint of calm and wisdom.
Occasionally, she would take a small sip of coffee from the table, her movements elegant and composed.
Her presence seemed to add a touch of brightness to the entire office.
Both her clothing and her demeanor are captivating, making it hard not to take a second look.
Her beauty is not the kind of flamboyant glamour, but a restrained, captivating elegance.
