Chapter 443: Chapter 443: Unwilling

Outside the autopsy room.

Jiangli, Fu Shiyan, Director Xun, and the others had all moved a bit farther away, leaving the space for Liao Qianqian and her family.

"Has Liao Qianqian really been following the Abbot all this time?" Xun Tianhai, standing not far from Jiangli, couldn’t help but think of Mu Dayang’s words upon the sudden appearance of Liao Qianqian.

With a meaningful glance, Jiangli said, "What, does Director Xun also want to educate me?"

Xun Tianhai quickly responded, "No, no, no, the Abbot misunderstands. That wasn’t my intention; it was just an offhand question."

Jiangli hummed, "Ever since she was found at the Fu Family’s place, she has been following me."

Xun Tianhai thought to himself, could Mu Dayang’s words—that Jiangli is also capable of releasing ghosts to harm people—be true?

The Xuanmen and the ghosts and goblins were almost always at odds.

Aside from those practicing evil cultivation, no one from the orthodox Xuanmen would release ghosts to commit violence.

Although the outcome seemed to suggest Jiangli had good intentions...

This method was indeed something Xun Tianhai had not expected.

Xun Tianhai immediately felt somewhat conflicted.

"I heard that you’re a Taoist Doctor too?" At this moment, Meng Hongyao, standing by the side, suddenly spoke up.

Jiangli looked up at her, "Yes, you and I are of the same discipline."

On Meng Hongyao’s beautiful and cold face, there was no reaction, "I heard that you once unleashed a ghost to harm someone?"

Jiangli raised an eyebrow, "What does this mean?" She glanced at Xun Tianhai.

Xun Tianhai hurriedly wanted to intervene.

But before he had a chance to speak, Meng Hongyao added, "Well done."

Jiangli paused in surprise, "Hmm?"

Meng Hongyao said icily, "Old Xun and the others are just old-fashioned. They work too inefficiently, act too slowly. As long as the goal is achieved and the Xuanmen’s responsibilities are fulfilled, how important are the means? Besides, does Mu Dayang even count as a person?"

Hearing her soul-searching question, Xun Tianhai was left speechless.

Xia Xin and Duan Jianchuan couldn’t help but give Meng Hongyao an extra glance.

Xia Xin thought to himself, this sister is really awesome!

"You don’t seem like someone from the Unusual Affairs Management Office," Jiangli said with a faint smile, "Since we get along, let me give you a piece of advice. Don’t travel long distances soon, and stay away from high places."

Both Meng Hongyao and Xun Tianhai were taken aback at the same time.

The next second, both of them looked intently at Jiangli.

"What does the Abbot mean by that?" Xun Tianhai couldn’t help but ask.

Jiangli: "One should not calculate the fate of a peer from the same path extensively."

Having said that, Jiangli stopped talking.

Meng Hongyao and Xun Tianhai glanced at each other, both frowning simultaneously.

These words of Jiangli...

Made them inexplicably uneasy.

It’s neither appropriate to prophesize too much about oneself nor one’s peers.

Meng Hongyao and Xun Tianhai had never predicted anything for themselves or their peers, but Jiangli’s words clearly implied that Meng Hongyao might face some danger soon.

However, it’s not good to delve too much into the fate of one’s peers.

Delving too much into such fates could also be disadvantageous for Jiangli.

As Jiangli could not say more, they could not ask further.

Still, they kept their guard up.

After all, since Jiangli had mentioned it, there was likely some issue of concern.

Meng Hongyao could tell that Jiangli was much more formidable than herself—it’s wise to heed advice from someone experienced.

She thought it over and made some plans.

"By the way, have Lin Yurong’s parents arrived?" Jiangli glanced at the time on her phone. There was still some time left in the quarter hour, so she casually brought it up.

Xun Tianhai came back to reality and looked towards Commissioner Xu.

Commissioner Xu, who had been listening to the gossip like an outsider, immediately said, "Yes, speaking of which, I was just about to notify the Abbot. We got in contact with Lin Yurong’s parents, but they are unwilling to come to the police station."

This was unexpected for everyone.

Jiangli frowned, "What do you mean ’unwilling’?"
