"Found him. After you sent the message to Captain Lin yesterday, Captain Lin and I went to look for him."
Lu Lianxue stated directly:
"He was indeed picking up cans like you said, and he was crying while picking them up. Sigh."
Hmm?
Hearing Lu Lianxue's sigh, Zhang Wei raised his eyebrows in surprise:
"Class monitor, why are you sighing for no reason? Is there something wrong with that ghost?"
"There's a big problem."
Lu Lianxue didn't beat around the bush and asked Zhang Wei directly:
"Zhang Wei, you know our rules in the Wei Dao Division regarding ghosts, right?"
"Of course, Class monitor. You told me before that you deal with ghosts in two ways, depending on whether the ghost is good or bad."
Zhang Wei recalled Lu Lianxue's previous explanation:
"If a ghost has not committed evil, it is to be transcended to reincarnation. If a ghost has unfinished wishes and cannot be reincarnated, it is to be registered, and the ghost must report for registration at regular intervals until its wishes are fulfilled and it can move on."
"If the ghost is an evil spirit that commits evil deeds, it depends on the situation."
"For those who have committed serious evil, especially those who have taken lives, they are all to be killed."
"For minor offenses, they are given a certain period of detention or sealing and education. If the ghost repents, it is transcended. If it does not repent, it is killed on the spot!"
"If the offense is too serious and the power is too great to be killed, it will be detained or sealed depending on the situation."
"Class monitor, which category does this ghost fall into?"
Lu Lianxue said slowly:
"It falls into the category of a good ghost with an unfinished wish."
"I have already registered it last night, asking it to report for registration at regular intervals. I also issued it a certificate to prevent other ghost hunters from mistaking it for an evil ghost and killing it."
"Actually, if all this is done, it should be considered as the supernatural case being handled."
"But the key is..."
As if guessing what Lu Lianxue was about to say, Zhang Wei spoke first:
"Because that ghost was picking up cans?"
As he spoke.
Lu Lianxue nodded and sighed, then asked instead:
"Zhang Wei, have you seen those news reports about wage arrears?"
Zhang Wei vaguely understood the situation:
"Yes, I have. The news says that some companies don't treat their employees as humans, maliciously delaying and withholding wages."
"There was a news report not long ago... a female employee posted on her social media envying 'getting paid on time', only to be fired the next day."
"And before that..."
As he got to the latter part, Zhang Wei's expression became strange:
"Class monitor, don't tell me that ghost died because of wage arrears."
Lu Lianxue shook her head:
"The ghost's death had nothing to do with wage arrears. It was an accidental death, but it needed that owed wage because its mother was sick and urgently needed the money for surgery."
"But it's already dead, so it can't go to claim the money, and there are no relatives to claim it on its behalf, because its mother was all it had left."
"And its mother had no idea that the company owed her son several months of wages."
"I went to that company, wanting to claim the owed wages in the name of his mother's friend."
"But damn it, that company didn't acknowledge it at all, and denied owing wages."
"When the boss of the company learned of the employee's accidental death, he immediately canceled all records and had no intention of paying the wages."
Lu Lianxue did not hide her anger.
As she spoke, she even swore, completely losing her goddess image and transforming into the trash-talking player she was when playing King of Glory in the Northeast.
"Damn that scumbag boss, I really want to kill him. The only page left in the death registration book was his."
"I have reported the situation of his mother's hospitalization to the Wei Dao Division. The Wei Dao Division will probably approve funds to help the ghost's mother with her treatment."
"But that ghost can't swallow this insult, and neither can I."
"That wage should have been paid."
"But I am a ghost hunter, not a people hunter. I can't do anything to that boss, I have no evidence."
"I originally wanted to find other employees to testify about the boss owing wages."
"Because that ghost told me that the boss owed wages not just to him, but to the entire company."
"But the other employees... sigh, they are unwilling to come forward."
"They don't know about ghosts, and they don't know me. Plus, they are afraid that if they come forward, they won't get their money. There was an incident before where employees tried to claim wages, which even led to a police report, but it all ended inconclusively... sigh."
Feeling Lu Lianxue's anger.
Zhang Wei also frowned.
Where there are people, there is darkness and light.
"I won't say anymore, if I keep talking, I'm afraid I'll rush over and kill that boss right now."
Lu Lianxue said angrily:
"I'll think of a way to see if I can find evidence of the boss owing wages and help that ghost get his money back."
"Damn black-hearted boss, screw you, may your whole family die, damn it!!"
"Why do they have to withhold wages? We are all human, why do they act so inhuman, like beasts, owing money even to the dead."
In response.
Zhang Wei made a joke to comfort her:
"Lord Lu, please calm your anger, don't get too agitated, be careful not to upset your pregnancy."
"Pfft."
Lu Lianxue was stunned for a moment and then scolded with a laugh, "I'll hit you!"
She knew Zhang Wei was comforting her, and her mood inexplicably improved.
Afterward.
She exhaled, calming her mood, and said, "Zhang Wei, let's not talk for now. I'll go think of a way and find you later."
"Wait."
Zhang Wei interrupted Lu Lianxue before she could hang up:
"Class monitor, I want to ask something. If I help this ghost get his wages, will it count as completing the Wei Dao Division's ghost hunting mission?"
"Of course it counts, because the ghost's wish is to get his wages and treat his mother. Since the Wei Dao Division understood the situation, arrangements have been made for the mother to be treated and sent to a nursing home, so you don't have to worry about her suffering."
Lu Lianxue said:
"When a ghost's wish is fulfilled, it will reincarnate. Isn't that completing the ghost hunting mission?"
"Alright then."
Zhang Wei grinned: "Class monitor, let me take on this ghost hunting task."
Lu Lianxue was stunned: "Ah? You want to take it? Are you sure? Wait, Zhang Wei, do you have a way to get the wages back?"
"I don't have a way to get the wages back."
Zhang Wei said, revealing a row of white teeth:
"But I can get money from the boss."
Lu Lianxue: "????"
Immediately after.
Lu Lianxue heard Zhang Wei's voice slowly coming from the phone:
"Class monitor, give me the boss's address."
...
A moment later.
Not long after hanging up the phone.
Zhang Chao and Wu Nian walked out of the hospital:
"Zhang Chao, Wu Nian, I won't be joining you for dinner today. I have something urgent to attend to, but we agreed to treat each other. You go ahead and eat, the bill is on me."
"What's up? Is it ghost hunting?"
Zhang Chao asked with curiosity and gossip.
In response.
Zhang Wei chuckled: "Ghost hunting is not as important as eating with you guys. After all, you are my good buddies. The main thing is that I'm not hunting ghosts, I'm hunting people."
"????"
Zhang Chao and Wu Nian were both stunned by this.
Hunting people???
...
