Chapter 29: Assault

After spending the night at the hotel, Chen Lu was well rested and had finally recovered from the events of the Reasonable Ghost.

He squeezed the paper-stick man who was still running on the head of the bed, pulled out the hair on its head, and the paper-stick man turned off again.

Chen Lu learned smartly that the paper-stick man can keep running as long as it’s not attacked by a ghost, and later puts the paper-stick man on his bedside before going to bed to avoid being suddenly attacked by a ghost.

Originally, Chen Lu felt that the reward for sign-in was too weak, but now it seems that paper-struck people are by no means as simple as looking at it.

How could a ghost last for a night and not be revived by a fierce spirit?

The paper stick man was like a fine version of a replica, only the replica doesn’t resurrect the ghost.

So how powerful should its original version be?

And its original version…Where is it now?

Chen Lu shook his head, threw these trivial thoughts out of his mind, got up to wash, he has a lot to do today.

First, he would go back to his uncle’s house, then he would go to the Dongjiang District, set the house down, then he would take up his post and muddle through, then he would go to college and feel the youthfulness of the university….

Hehehe.

After Chen Lu went to the front desk and checked out of the room, he called a taxi to go to the fifth ring of the Magic City.

After an hour and a half’s drive, Chen Lu got out of the car in a piece of the old city, then walked into a small building and stopped at the third floor.

“Knock knock.”

The door opened and a slightly haggard old woman opened it.

“Chen Lu?!”

“Auntie!

Chen Lu smiled, “Auntie, long time no see.”

“Come on… come in!” Aunt grinned, the wrinkles around her eyes became clear, she opened the door and welcomed Chen Lu into the house.

“Wang Jianjun, come out! The baby’s back!”

A middle-aged, obese man emerged from the kitchen and looked at Chen Lu, his eyes narrowed into slits.

“Eh, how come my Chen Lu is back!”

“Hello uncle.”

“Huimei, go buy a shredded chicken… and buy a bottle of Coke.”

“Okay…. I’m going.”

“Eh auntie, no need, I just bought it.”

Chen Lu brightened the lunch box on his hand, he knew that his uncle’s family’s economic strength wasn’t too good, it was usually a rough meal, he definitely didn’t have a food treat to run out and buy when he came back, right now he didn’t have to run around when he bought it.

“This kid…. It’s getting smarter and smarter.”

Auntie smiled blindly, grabbed Chen Lu’s hand and pulled him to the dining table.

“If I remember correctly, school will start soon, aren’t you working? Is the living expenses enough?”

Chen Lu’s usual living expenses were given by his uncle’s family, he usually went out to work and saved what he could.

“That’s enough, recently my design was adopted and I made a lot of money, so I don’t need to pay my living expenses in the future…”

Chen Lu didn’t want to talk too much about work and continued to talk about other family matters.

“Where’s my cousin, has she gone back to school yet?”

“Yeah, she just went back to school and said she’s preparing for some kind of competition, and there’s a prize for first prize!”

The aunt smiled even more when she spoke of her daughter, in her consciousness, although their family was poor, the two children had ambition and would definitely be talents in the future.

Uncle looked at Chen Lu and seemed to casually and carelessly say.

“Chen Lu, you look much more stable than before, has anything happened recently?”

Chen Lu was stunned, then smiled, it was true that his own family members still knew him best….

The meal stretched for a long time, but there was always an end to it, and Chen Lu still had to go about his business.

“Is this the end?”

“Yes, there’s still work to be done…. By the way, I’ve made a fortune from my design, you guys can keep it and watch how it’s used, there’s not enough left.”

Chen Lu put down a bank card, and after a bit of pushing and shoving, his aunt finally accepted it.

It was a token of the child’s appreciation, and they wanted to save it for future emergencies.

Chen Lu said his final goodbyes and left his aunt’s house, he took a taxi and headed to Dongjiang District.

“Alas…. It’s time for us to be taken care of by our children.” Auntie was still smiling subconsciously, her face showing her old form.

“Who says it’s not…”

Suddenly, Wang Jianjun’s phone rang.

“Hey, girl! What’s the matter?”

“Hey, Dad, did you put money in my card?”

My cousin’s voice was shocked and anxious.

“No ah…. Isn’t it Chen Lu, he just gave us money.”

“Dad, did you ask clearly, where did Chen Lu get this money?”

“He said it was designed…Why are you so nervous? One or two thousand is normal. Your brother is amazing.”

“A thousand or two thousand? What are you talking about Dad? I’ve got an extra two hundred thousand in my card!”

“What? Two hundred thousand!”

Wang Jianjun and Huimei looked shocked.
