Ha, Karma! – Chapter 17

by Little Panda

He and I are the same kind of people.

Lin Yun demanded evidence.

Evidence that could prove Chen Hong was being insincere and had ulterior motives.

Otherwise, why should she believe the words of a water ghost?

On one side was her trusted beloved, someone she had known for a long time.

On the other side was the source of her recent nightmares, whom she had only formally met today.

Between the two, there was no question about whom to trust first.

Moreover, if she were to believe someone after meeting them just once, her affection and trust would be worth nothing.

At this moment, Chu Zhaoqiu spoke up.

She turned to look at Lin Yun: “Miss Lin, regarding your boyfriend, there’s something I need to tell you.”

“He’s not ignorant of these matters. On the contrary, he and I are the same kind of people.”

Not ordinary people, not outsiders.

They knew about the existence of ghosts and possessed the power to deal with them.

She and Chen Hong were such people.

Lin Yun looked at Chu Zhaoqiu in disbelief.

The water ghost’s words, she still needed to think about whether they were true or false.

But Chu Zhaoqiu’s words, she had no choice but to believe.

Yet this still couldn’t be considered conclusive.

“Even if he understands these things like you do… that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s connected to this ghost, right?”

The little water ghost heard her words and anxiously scratched her head.

She had only thought about testimonial evidence, never expecting Lin Yun would demand both testimonial and physical evidence!

This really put her in a difficult position.

How could she prove the connection between them?

That crafty Chen Hong would never admit it if asked directly, and might even turn the tables on them.

She even thought about turning to Fu Lianxue to ask what to do next.

Fu Lianxue was more capable than her, smarter than her, and would definitely have a solution!

Before she could take any action, she heard the demon hunter standing in front of Lin Yun say: “It can prove it.”

She and Lin Yun both looked at the demon hunter.

Chu Zhaoqiu’s voice clearly reached their ears: “Because the necklace that trapped her was taken from Chen Hong’s house.”

Lin Yun: “?”

She felt confused: “How do you know that?”

“I saw it with my own eyes.”

“Someone broke into my boyfriend’s house as a thief?”

“……”

Chu Zhaoqiu cleared her throat and said with a straight face: “If that person hadn’t taken the necklace, you wouldn’t be able to see the water ghost, and you would continue being deceived.

“So there was a reason for it, and it counts as doing good deed. The merits balance out the wrongdoing, it’s understandable.”

The water ghost hadn’t expected Chu Zhaoqiu to speak up for her and Fu Lianxue.

What she said made quite a lot of sense…

After a moment of stunned silence, she quickly agreed: “Yes, yes! I was sealed by Chen Hong at that time. If the necklace hadn’t been taken and the seal destroyed, I would never have been able to get out, and no one would have told you what happened!”

Lin Yun listened to both sides and suddenly fell silent.

Her feelings were complicated, like there was a lump in her chest that she couldn’t get rid of, making her feel stifled and uncomfortable.

Was the person she loved really plotting against her…

Chu Zhaoqiu and the little water ghost tacitly remained quiet, neither of them disturbing her.

After a while.

Lin Yun raised her eyes to look at the water ghost: “Where’s the necklace?”

“Huh? Oh, it’s with the… person who saved me,” the little water ghost obediently answered.

She didn’t reveal Fu Lianxue’s identity, even censoring the gender.

Then she heard Lin Yun ask: “Could you ask that person if they can lend me the necklace?”

Little water ghost: “?”

Chu Zhaoqiu: “?”

They both thought of Fu Lianxue’s unpredictable nature.
