“Want to try some of my homemade fruit wine?”

The woman held up a wine glass and offered it to the man in front of her. Her graceful demeanor, combined with the dim lighting in the private room, made her even more alluring.

The man was still wearing a wine-red suit that screamed extravagance, along with shiny leather shoes and meticulously styled hair.

Even when taking the wine glass, he first wiped it with his own handkerchief before picking it up.

He didn't care if she noticed his concern about her hands being dirty, nor was he afraid of offending her.

Because, a quarter of an hour ago, when Attorney An came out of the bathroom, he saw her picking her nose while waiting for him in the private room.

After picking it, she even looked at it in front of her,

Then rolled it into a ball with her fingertips,

And flicked it away.

Attorney An could be indifferent to things he couldn't see, which was why he could spend a whole night with a call girl, but things he saw would stick in his mind like a thorn, making it hard for him to ignore.

A beautiful woman's booger was still a booger, wasn't it?

“You’re still so particular, just like when I first met you two years ago.”

The woman was wearing a black dress, her slender and voluptuous figure fully displaying the charm of a mature woman. Of course, she wasn't trying to seduce anyone, nor did she need to.

She owned half of this nightclub.

“I couldn’t help it. When I was eating raw meat in the rainforest in my previous life, I swore in my heart that I would treat myself better in my next life.

And this is my next life, so I have to make myself live as exquisitely and meticulously as possible.”

“Let’s get down to business, my dear lawyer.”

The woman stood up, a serious expression on her face.

Attorney An, on the other hand, was savoring the fruit wine,

With his legs crossed,

Swinging them leisurely,

Becoming even more nonchalant than before.

It was basically saying,

You go ahead and be serious,

I’ll lose if I actually listen.

“My master has always valued you highly and believes that it’s not right for you to continue wandering in the human world without any rank or position.

Firstly, although you were partly responsible for what happened back then, there were extenuating circumstances, yet the Netherworld stripped you of your official records and permanently barred you from employment. This punishment is simply too harsh.

Secondly, if you continue to roam the human world with your current ambiguous status, if you encounter a responsible inspector who really wants to deal with you, you’ll be in a lot of trouble.

Our master feels very indignant about your situation.”

Attorney An shrugged. “Thank you for your master’s appreciation, although I don’t think you can even see your master, let alone have your master sit down and chat with you.”

“…” The woman.

“The wine is good, but the words aren’t very pleasant.” Attorney An smiled, put down the wine glass, and said, “I was the one who handled the arrangements for both of you back then. I took money from that side and helped you get your identities sorted out. However, I didn’t expect you to get ghost official certificates and become ghost officials. Now you’re living such a carefree and comfortable life.”

“That’s because although our master is in Hell, his influence extends far beyond Hell. Ghost official certificates are something our master can still…”

“Getting a ghost official certificate is pretty easy even for me.”

“…” The woman.

“Really, I heard there’s a blind man in Shanghai who also became a ghost official and laundered his identity. It seems like he has a whole sack of these ghost official certificates.

It’s like going to the back hill to dig potatoes, one dig, one sack.”

The woman took a deep breath. She, who had always cultivated herself and stayed out of trouble, felt an urge to kill the man in front of her at this moment.

Because this guy,

Really doesn’t know how to talk!

Attorney An lightly rubbed his fingers on the coffee table and said, “Let’s leave it at that. I have a guest waiting for me at home. He might be a bit restless and disobedient, so I need to keep an eye on him, otherwise he’ll go looking for his mommy tadpoles again.”

With that, Attorney An picked up his briefcase and stood up to leave.

The woman accompanied him out of the private room and stood on the second floor. There were many guests below, but because of the dim lighting, the people below couldn’t see clearly above, but the people above could see below relatively clearly.

This was also why the lighting and layout were designed this way, because the two owners of this club liked the feeling of standing on the second floor and silently observing the people below.

“Are you really not going to reconsider, Attorney An?

Joining us is actually very relaxing. Look at me and my partner, we don’t have to do anything. We can spend all day here living in a drunken stupor, carefree and without worries.”

Attorney An shook his head.

The woman nodded, made a “please” gesture, and turned to walk back into the private room. Clearly, this meeting had also left her feeling not very pleasant.

After the woman closed the door,

Attorney An licked his lips and repeated the woman’s words:

“Yeah, because besides living in a drunken stupor, carefree and without worries, what else can you people do?”

Turning his head and seeing the Meng Po cosplayer dancing below with a bowl on her head, the sarcasm at the corners of Attorney An’s mouth became even more pronounced.

Being ghost officials and not being ambitious can be understood, because grade point averages are useless to you;

The forces behind you won’t allow you to climb higher and become constables or inspectors, because that would give you the ability to escape their control, and you two continue to enjoy this state of affairs.

Tsk tsk,

The Netherworld is indeed too big,

So big that the grassroots level,

Has so many parasites.”

Meng Po was still dancing below, and many audience members were still applauding and cheering.

Attorney An lit a cigarette and flicked the ash.

Clearly relying on the Netherworld system to live a comfortable life that ordinary wandering souls couldn’t even imagine in their dreams,

Yet still liking to put on this little act to flaunt their unique attitude,

They’re really spoiled.

It’s nothing more than taking advantage of the power struggles among the bigwigs above to give your so-called master a few small favors, and you actually think you’re someone important?

The Netherworld Records clearly state that back then, that guy who妄想 (wàngxiǎng, vainly tried) to govern himself in the Netherworld across the River Styx, attempting to establish independence in Hell,

Ended up being slaughtered by Ying Gou, who was forced by the Yellow Emperor to oversee the幽冥之海 (Yōumíng zhī hǎi, Nether Sea) at the time, almost wiping out his clan.

Thousands of years have passed,

And you’re actually dreaming the same dream again.”

Strolling leisurely down the stairs, Attorney An continued to rant crazily in his mind:

Damn it,

I just want to live a normal life comfortably for a few decades and enjoy life. I’d have to have my brains squeezed by a door to follow you guys. Why don’t you take a piss and look at yourselves in the mirror to see what you’re worth.

“Bang!”

A violent sound came from below.

Attorney An looked over there, and not far from him, a familiar figure slammed another familiar figure heavily onto the ground.

Holy crap,

Why is this guy in Changzhou too?

He’s really a persistent ghost!

Attorney An immediately used his briefcase to cover his face, preparing to slip away. He was a character who dared to take on such private jobs in the human world, walking on the edge of order.

He didn't dare say anything else,

But this instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages was top-notch.

Although he didn’t know the specific reason,

He was instinctively afraid of Zhou Ze!

Moreover, he felt that his instincts had a very low probability of being wrong, so he immediately turned around to leave through the back door, trying not to run into that guy.

However, what you fear comes true.

At the exit, two girls screamed and ran back first,

Followed by a long-tongued loli rushing in with an inexplicable grievance,

The customers in the nightclub couldn’t see very clearly because of the dim lighting, and thought that the long-tongued loli was a performance program in the nightclub.

No one screamed and no one was afraid,

Except for the female actress who was performing Meng Po’s medley, who stood there dumbfounded,

The customers below all applauded together,

Creative, creative!

Cheers! Cheers!

Some people even whistled at the little loli,

And shouted for the cutie to come down and have a drink with them.

If the little loli’s attention wasn’t focused on those two girls right now, those who were whistling and heckling would probably have a hard time escaping a beating.

The two girls wanted to run out through the back door, which happened to be on the same route as Attorney An.

One of the girls had a pale face. Because of the ghost official’s pursuit, they instantly turned into fugitives after having been moved to tears by their rebirth just now.

A claw directly swept towards Attorney An, intending to knock away the person blocking their way. Now, they couldn’t care about being low-key and hidden anymore. Escaping was the most important thing.

In a brief moment,

Attorney An quickly made a choice between continuing to be low-key and hidden, and lying in the hospital for half a month, even though there might be pretty nurses, he might not be able to do whatever he wanted because of his back injury.

“Crack!”

“Smack!”

One of the girl’s palms was directly broken by Attorney An, followed by a kick to the other’s knee, sending her kneeling on the ground.

The other girl was grabbed by the neck by Attorney An, thrown to the ground, and pinned beneath him.

The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing. If there were any soldiers here, they should be able to see the military shadow in Attorney An’s moves.

The little loli retracted her tongue, stopped, and stared at the suited man in front of her with a wary expression. She didn’t recognize this lawyer and only thought that the Changzhou ghost official had run out at this time to snatch the kill!

Zhou Ze, who had just knocked over the young man, also looked over here,

Slightly stunned,

Clearly,

Boss Zhou also recognized Attorney An’s identity,

After all, that silver card was still in his wallet.

The young man who had been thrown to the ground by Zhou Ze showed a look of doubt when he saw Attorney An taking action. If the two of them were deliberately not doing proper work and not wanting to be promoted, then this Attorney An should be truly low-key and cowardly, but at this time he was acting so unusually, which made him a little confused.

The woman on the second floor, who had come out of the private room again because she heard the noise, didn’t jump down to do anything either. Like that young man, she just continued to watch the situation develop from above.

“Wicked demons and heretics, endangering the human world, a harmonious society, everyone is responsible!”

Attorney An spoke with righteousness and fervor.

Then,

Attorney An pointed to the two girls on the ground and said to Zhou Ze and the little loli:

“You two young heroes, I’ll leave the villains to you to be taken to the government. Farewell, goodbye!”

Attorney An, wanting to disappear as soon as possible and not get involved with Zhou Ze,

Before he could take two steps,

He only felt a whooshing sound coming from behind him.

Attorney An turned his head,

Only to have his neck directly grabbed by Zhou Ze,

And he himself was slammed backward by Zhou Ze until his back was against the wall.

“What is your purpose for approaching her?”

Zhou Ze stared at Attorney An and asked.

Wow!

Attorney An wanted to cry!

Damn it,

It’s really just a simple business relationship,

I really have nothing with your wife,

I avoid you like the plague,

How dare I have any ideas about your wife!

“Don’t misunderstand…don’t misunderstand…

Knowing her,

It’s really just a coincidence…coincidence…it’s…

It’s…it’s fate…fate, maybe…”

“Hiss…”

Attorney An only felt the hand grabbing his neck suddenly tighten!
