Chapter 2053: Parade of a Hundred Ghosts
With the situation in Xiangnan temporarily settled, Zhonghai City has also briefly returned to tranquility.
After a week of rest, Mo Anna finally recovered and then hurried to the company to work.
During this period, Xiao Zheng has been responsible for handling and presiding over the company’s affairs, big and small.
Although there were many things and business operations he wasn’t very familiar with, fortunately, he didn’t cause any trouble. And as time went on, he gradually started to forget about the Ghost Raising Family.
On this day, Xiao Zheng and Mo Anna worked until six in the evening before getting off work.
Since the end of the year is approaching, the company has been especially busy during this time.
"Xiao Zheng, I’m hitching a ride again."
Mo Anna appeared gracefully at the door of Xiao Zheng’s office, smiling as she spoke.
Since her car got wrecked, she had an excuse to have Xiao Zheng give her a lift home every day after work. From when she started working to now, it has been seven or eight days, and Xiao Zheng has been driving her every day.
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng smiled, then stood up and stretched: "Let’s go, let’s go. I’m also hungry. I heard there’s soup at home waiting for me. Do you want to come over for a meal?"
"No, I’d better not. If I go over, there won’t be enough soup for you," Mo Anna covered her mouth and laughed, "Anyway, the aunt at home has already prepared the meal, so I won’t starve when I get back."
"Alright then, suit yourself," Xiao Zheng said as he put on his coat, "Let’s go, I’ll drive you home."
After saying this, the two took the elevator directly to the underground parking lot.
The parking lot was very spacious, with hardly a few cars parked.
This was quite normal, as it was already more than an hour past usual closing time. Many from the company had already gone home, except for some still working overtime.
Once Mo Anna fastened her seatbelt, Xiao Zheng started the car.
The car slowly got on the road, the atmosphere calm and peaceful.
Xiao Zheng drove, keeping an eye on Mo Anna from the corner of his eye: "If you’re tired, you can take a nap in the car. I’ll drive a bit slower."
He noticed that Mo Anna looked deeply fatigued at that moment.
Clearly, the busy workday had left her physically and mentally exhausted.
Upon hearing this, Mo Anna yawned and then said: "It’s fine. We’re almost home anyway, taking a nap in the car wouldn’t be long, and I’d just feel even more tired when we arrive."
"You just keep driving, I’ll just sit here."
Xiao Zheng nodded and then helped her put on some music.
When the beautiful melody began playing inside the car, the weariness on Mo Anna’s face eased considerably. Even Xiao Zheng tapped the steering wheel lightly to the rhythm from time to time.
About ten minutes into the drive, the car was approaching a tunnel.
Upon seeing the tunnel entrance from afar, Mo Anna’s expression turned noticeably tense.
Even though it had been nearly half a month since the car accident, her psychological shadow had not completely faded.
Xiao Zheng was also well aware, so he planned to speed through the tunnel.
However, as soon as he entered the tunnel, a long-lost feeling of being watched surged in him!
"Has the Ghost Raising Family finally arrived?"
A trace of murderous intent flashed in Xiao Zheng’s eyes, his demeanor suddenly shifted.
Mo Anna sensed his abnormality and couldn’t help but ask: "Xiao Zheng, what’s wrong? Did we encounter something dirty again?"
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng thought carefully and decided not to hide the truth: "There’s nothing dirty, but it seems we’re being watched."
"What? Who dares to do that?" Mo Anna looked surprised, finding it somewhat unbelievable.
She never imagined that someone in Zhonghai City would dare to target Xiao Zheng.
"Who’s watching us and their identity is still unclear, but we’ll find out soon," Xiao Zheng said with a smile, "Just don’t be scared later, I plan to give them a good fight."
"It’s nothing, I won’t be scared as long as you’re here!" Mo Anna blushed as she spoke.
Not only was she not afraid, but she found it quite interesting, quietly anticipating what’s to come.
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but laugh again.
Once Mo Anna was seated securely, he slammed on the accelerator, and the car accelerated instantly!
Within mere seconds, Xiao Zheng had driven the car out of the tunnel.
However, to his disappointment, the Ghost Raising Family did not choose to attack inside the tunnel.
Their caution surprised Xiao Zheng.
Nevertheless, he wasn’t too worried; the feeling of being watched hadn’t disappeared, meaning the Ghost Raising Family was still observing him from the shadows. As long as the enemy hadn’t fled, he would surely have the chance to confront them tonight.
After exiting the tunnel, the car didn’t slow down.
Xiao Zheng drove past Mo Anna’s villa and proceeded towards a farther destination.
The car gradually left the urban area, arriving in the suburbs.
In the night, the rolling hills weren’t very tall but were quite impressive nonetheless.
Xiao Zheng’s actions were essentially a challenge to the Ghost Raising Family.
Instead of going home or stopping by the roadside, he drove to a deserted area, signaling the Ghost Raising Family that Xiao Zheng had already detected them.
"We’re almost there, there’s no road ahead,"
Xiao Zheng said slowly.
Just as he was about to stop the car, a chill suddenly filled the air inside the vehicle.
Then, something strange occurred; the melodious music turned into haunting, anguished wails!
"Give me back my life!"
"Give me back my life!"
The shocking cries spewed from the speakers continuously.
Mo Anna instantly felt her scalp tingle, a cold rush from her feet to the top of her head: "Th-this is the same sound! I heard this exact sound during the accident!"
"Xiao Zheng, what is going on here?"
Mo Anna was utterly stunned, still oblivious to the Ghost Raising Family’s existence.
Xiao Zheng chuckled before briefly explaining the truth to her.
Upon learning that Cao Xin was behind it, Mo Anna’s face quickly turned furious: "No wonder someone suddenly tried to harm me, it turns out to be that damned bastard Cao Xin!"
"He’s already dead, I’ve sent someone to take care of him," Xiao Zheng replied, "As for the Ghost Raising Family, I’ve been waiting for them to show up, and now it seems they’ve arrived."
After he spoke, Xiao Zheng’s gaze turned forward.
In the direction the vehicle headed, hundreds of ghosts marched in the dead of night!
