Chapter 496: Reason
It didn’t seem like they were going to escape. Jiang Cheng shouted, “Don’t gather inside the elevator!” Then, he ran out. Cao Yang gritted his teeth and followed Jiang Cheng. Yu Yu was startled. She eventually reacted. The situation was chaotic.
Wang Changguo sighed in relief when he saw Jiang Cheng’s group. He was like an orphan finding a home. He said excitedly, “I finally found you…”
As Wang Changguo ran towards Jiang Cheng, the latter sped up. Then, Wang Changguo watched as Jiang Cheng raised his leg. The kick sent Wang Changguo flying. He almost died. Wang Changguo’s brain buzzed as he fell on the ground. He was seeing doubles. Before he could react, Cao Yang ran over and beat him with the stick. Unlike Jiang Cheng, Cao Yang didn’t hold back. Thankfully, the stick wasn’t the hardest, or Wang Changguo wouldn’t have had the chance to speak.
“Stop… Hitting me!” Wang Changguo hugged his head and rolled on the floor. “I’m Wang Changguo! Ouch!” Cao Yang kicked the man’s face, causing him to swallow his words. “I’m… Human!” Wang Changguo pleaded.
At first, Cao Yang was running on adrenaline. He normally wouldn’t fight a ghost head-on. Now that he had calmed down, he noticed something was wrong. Wang Changguo’s head was bleeding, and he kept begging. He looked sad. Cao Yang didn’t know how a ghost would act, but he believed they wouldn’t be like this.
Cao Yang put away the staff awkwardly. He probably got it wrong. What could he do? He couldn’t possibly let Wang Changguo hit him back, right? Plus, why was the man wandering there alone?
“What happened?” Jiang Cheng pulled Wang Changguo up by his collar. “Why did you come down here alone? What happened up there?”
If nothing happened, Wang Changguo wouldn’t have taken the elevator from the fourth floor to come underground. Before they left, Jiang Cheng remembered they were on the second floor.
“The ghost came.” Wang Changguo choked through his blood.
