Chapter 17 - Scapegoat

"You couldn't see clearly? Have you ever wondered why you couldn't see clearly? Only places where the sunlight couldn't reach were pitch black."

Bai Jin said again. She had deduced that this person recently had a nightmare related to underwater. When she related it to the cause and effect he was involved in, she faintly concluded, "That's because the scene in your dream was at the bottom of a river!"

Zhou Tao was so shocked that he plopped down on the floor. "W-who are you?"

"Me? I'm Bai Jin," Bai Jin smiled and said. "Since you're so studious and inquisitive, I'll tell you something for free. Drowning ghosts are the kind that dies the most unjustly. If no one performs religious ceremonies for them to release their sufferings, they won't be able to report at the King of Hell's palace. Every injustice has its origin, and every debt has its debtor. Take a guess, what does that drowning ghost want to do the most now?"

"Ah, ah, ah..." Zhou Tao was so scared that he screamed. He seemed to have seen that migrant worker, no, that ghost, with dripping water all over his body. He was holding a long water plant in his hand, walking towards him step by step in wet footprints. He spoke in a hoarse voice just like one was choking with water, "Young President Zhou, I'm feeling so cold in the water!"

"Don't! Don't come near me!"

Zhou Tao rolled his eyes and fainted. He was so scared that he lost control of his bladder.

How unlucky.

Bai Jin frowned. She did indeed use a small trick. But in the eyes of a person like Zhou Tao who harbored ulterior motives in his heart, this little trick would become an evil ghost demanding his life!

Zhou Tao was too timid.

Bai Jin looked down on this kind of person.

"After washing, sprinkle some glutinous rice and green beans to get rid of the bad luck," Bai Jin patiently instructed the Bai family's servants on what to do.

Bai Yang and Tao Ran were dumbfounded. What had happened? Just now, their daughter approached this second son of the Zhou family and said something that they did not hear, and it scared Zhou Tao until he fainted?

What exactly did their daughter say?

Bai Yang and Tao Ran still had not recovered from the shock.

The same goes for the few lackeys that Zhou Tao brought along.

Today, what had happened involved the Zhou family's privacy. The lackeys were just playing supporting roles and were not involved.

They only watched from afar. At first, their boss had the upper hand in scolding Bai Jin. How did their boss turn out this way after the little girl came out of the house in less than three minutes?

It wasn't good for the lackeys to not do anything. They could only swarm forward like a swarm of bees, giving warnings such as "just you wait" and "big brother will not let you off once he's sober" while they dragged the fainted Zhou Tao away in a mess.

"This man's destiny is a prisoner. I just don't know if he will be able to wait for the police to arrest him."

Bai Jin said calmly and did not forget to instruct Bai Yang, "Remember, stay away from his father. Don't get too involved in their business. His family will have to suffer from bad luck for a while!"

"Huh?" Bai Yang still failed to react.

It was a coincidence, wasn't it? It must have been a coincidence.

Seeing what had happened, Bai Yang could no longer sit still. He had to go to the company to take a look. Zhou Tao was still Zhou Guang's son, so he did not want anything untoward to happen to him in his house.

"Xiao Bai," Tao Ran asked while jittering, "what did you tell him?"

"I told him about the bad things he did. He killed someone. In less than three days, the matter will resolve."

"Huh? Why would he kill someone? It has nothing to do with our business, does it?"

Unknowingly, Tao Ran had been affected by Xiao Bai's aura. She now felt that whatever Xiao Bai said would be true. Otherwise, Zhou Tao would not have been so terrified.

Tao Ran felt her views as an atheist had now been overturned.
