Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

Yu Shuang was at a loss for words. In truth, he wasn’t young anymore; his peers had gone through countless girlfriends by now.

But he had been so focused on becoming a hero like his father that he never got around to dating. Looking back, he felt a twinge of regret.

Shen Wan sensed Yu Shuang’s regret and consoled him, “Keep solving cases in the future. Even though you’re dead, nothing can stop you from shining. Yu Shuang, you’re so handsome, you’ll be popular with the pretty ghost girls. Oh, and from now on, use the main entrance. All those ghosts are under my Ying Ying’s jurisdiction.”

Yu Shuang didn’t argue. If he could meet a pretty ghost girl who caught his eye, dating wouldn’t be so bad.

“So, you three will work for me from now on, right? It’s not like you can reincarnate without queuing for hundreds of years in the underworld. Why not shine in the human world and keep your loved ones company? With your current status, solving cases will be a breeze, won’t it?”

The three ghost officers nodded eagerly. That was exactly what they had in mind.

They had been feeling regretful, but now with Shen Wan, they didn’t have to worry about wasting their efforts. They were even a bit excited, feeling that surge of passion as if they were back at the beginning of their careers.

Just then, Shen Wan’s phone rang. She answered with a smile, “Officer Xu? Has my reward been issued?”

“Yes, the reward has been processed… It should be in your account soon. Remember to check. I’m busy today so I won’t say much, but let’s set a time on Saturday to discuss the next case.”

After hanging up, Shen Wan saw the three ghost officers looking at her expectantly. Chen Darong asked, “Was that Little Xu Cheng?”

“Yes, all the cases I’m handling now are for Officer Xu. I’ve already solved two, and he just called about collecting the reward.”

Hearing this, the three felt truly relieved, believing they could continue working with Shen Wan and investigate cases to their hearts’ content.

Becoming ghosts didn’t seem all that different from being human.

Soon after, Shen Wan received a notification that the money had been deposited. She put away her phone and took Qin Ying’s hand. “When I meet Officer Xu on Saturday, should I mention you three?”

Chen Darong and the others were naturally willing. Since Xu Cheng already believed in ghosts, it would be good for him to know about their existence. It would make things easier in the future.

“Wan Wan, we have money now,” Qin Ying said, eyeing Shen Wan’s phone.

Shen Wan understood perfectly. “Then let’s go shopping at the mall first and return before dark. For the portion to be given to the other little ghosts, ask them tomorrow if they want spirit money or something else.”

Shen Wan hailed a taxi straight to the mall, not expecting Chen Darong and the others to jump onto the taxi’s roof. Mindful of the driver inside, Shen Wan held back from asking what they were doing.

After getting out, she finally asked, “Do you have something else to do?”

“Not really. We haven’t been out for a long time. Since there’s someone who can see us now, let’s just shop together,” Chen Darong said, rubbing his head with a smile.

Chen Feng: “We won’t disturb you. Just pretend we don’t exist.”

Yu Shuang: “Yeah, it’s been a long time since we’ve been to a mall.”

Shen Wan ignored them and took Qin Ying to buy dresses. She bought everything Qin Ying liked.

Then she found a place where she could burn things and set all the pretty dresses on fire.

Chen Darong and the others watched painfully as the pile of dresses turned to ashes, then saw Qin Ying’s dress constantly changing, almost a new one every second. Their expressions were somewhat devastated.

Shen Wan crouched to the side, folding necklaces and hair accessories for Qin Ying, burning them as soon as they were made.

For an entire afternoon, Chen Darong and the others watched the human and ghost couple being lovey-dovey.

Yu Shuang lifted the edge of his clothes. “Don’t you think these clothes look a bit old? Even though we’re ghosts now, isn’t it a bit shabby to wear the same outfit for years?”

Chen Darong silently fidgeted with his sleeve, which was missing a button.

Chen Feng glanced at his worn-out shoes. They did look old.

When Shen Wan met Xu Cheng again to discuss cases, before Xu Cheng could speak, she took out a thick notebook and pushed it in front of him.

Under Xu Cheng’s puzzled gaze, Shen Wan said, “Everything you want is in here. These all have solid evidence, with clues and proof recorded inside. Basically, you just need to verify and you can make arrests.”

Hearing this, Xu Cheng could barely contain his excitement. His hands trembled as he brought the notebook close and slowly opened it. After reading the first case, he no longer cared whether ghosts existed in this world or not.

He didn’t know what ghosts looked like or why he couldn’t see them, but he could see these once unsolvable cases in this notebook, complete with clues about the culprits. That was enough.

“Officer Xu, about the reward…”

“Don’t worry, all these clues were provided by you, so the reward is yours. I’ve already explained your situation to the department. If you have any issues in the future, just come to the station and find me.” Xu Cheng then handed Shen Wan a badge. “Take this. It’ll make things easier for you in the future.”

Although some still doubted that the two cases he solved were just coincidences, the clues were provided by Shen Wan, so she deserved this badge. In fact, he already believed that what Shen Wan said was true. The reason he worked so hard to get Shen Wan this special assistant badge was that he planned to call her directly to help at crime scenes in the future if needed.

“Seeing so many case clues, Little Xu Cheng is still as steady as he was back then, even when excited,” Chen Darong said approvingly. Then, noticing a few white hairs on Xu Cheng’s head, he sighed, “This kid is about the same age as Chen Feng, and he’s already getting white hair. It must be from all the worrying.”

“With so many cases gathering dust in drawers, how could Officer Xu not worry? I’d be worried too if I were him,” Yu Shuang said, sitting on Xu Cheng’s other side.

Chen Feng, usually a man of few words, nodded in agreement.

It was the middle of the day, with temperatures close to 30 degrees Celsius. Yet Xu Cheng kept feeling waves of coldness around him. Occasionally, a cool breeze would brush his cheek, making him shiver involuntarily.

Xu Cheng suddenly remembered something and quickly looked up at Shen Wan, only to see her talking to herself while facing an empty seat.

He was used to it by now. Shen Wan had a ghost wife, and she never hid it in front of him. They often acted affectionate, and if he didn’t know the situation, he might have thought she was crazy. But looking closely, Shen Wan’s smiling demeanor didn’t really seem like someone talking to herself, but rather like she was actually conversing with someone.

Thinking of his doubts, Xu Cheng pressed his hand firmly on the notebook and called out to Shen Wan.

“Officer Xu, do you have any questions?”

Xu Cheng looked around, hesitated for a moment, then with a very stiff expression, glanced at the notebook and asked, “Are the ghosts from the cases in this notebook here with us?”

Why else would there be strange cold breezes passing by him?

The private room had no fan or air conditioning, the door was closed, and there were no windows. So where was this cold air coming from? He couldn’t think of anything other than those little ghosts.

“They’re not here,” Shen Wan replied, then said to Qin Ying beside her, “Officer Xu’s mental state is still unstable. I’ve suggested he get psychological counseling, but it seems he’s been too busy to go lately.”

Xu Cheng saw Shen Wan resting her chin on her hand, smiling at the empty seat as she spoke. He clenched his fist, then relaxed it.

Whatever. Were all high school students like this nowadays? Daring to criticize a police officer to his face.

“Student Shen Wan, are there other ghosts in this private room?” Xu Cheng’s expression was constipated. As a police officer who believed in a strong, democratic, and scientific nation, asking a civilian if there were ghosts around put immense pressure on him. “I feel chilly all around. Are there ghosts bearing grievances here?”

Xu Cheng thought, ghosts or not, as long as they provided evidence, it was his duty to catch the bad guys and punish them. Whether it violated scientific principles didn’t matter anymore. Xu Cheng’s mind had been tormented back and forth like this for some time, and his mental state was actually quite stable now. Another person might not have been able to handle it as well as he had.

“Yes, there are three.”

Chen Darong and the others were sitting in various positions around Xu Cheng. As they had been police officers when alive, their souls were protected by the merits of their lifetime achievements. They weren’t afraid of Xu Cheng’s righteous aura, and his strong yang energy didn’t affect them at all.

When they were alive, they had a good relationship with Xu Cheng. Being able to be in the same room again excited them a bit. The only downside was that in their current soul state, they couldn’t meet Xu Cheng face to face. If they had to appear, they would need to use all their power to materialize, which would harm their soul bodies.

They had been dead for several years, always staying at the police station or investigating case clues. They never thought about enhancing their soul power. Their soul auras were peaceful, without the resentment or vicious energy of other little ghosts. They were rare soul bodies that could approach humans without causing any harm.

Hearing there were three ghosts, Xu Cheng first shivered from the cold, then stared at Shen Wan with gleaming eyes. “Can you ask their names and what grievances they bear?” As he spoke, Xu Cheng had already taken out a pen, ready to take notes.

Shen Wan said softly, “They’re called Chen Darong, Chen Feng, and Yu Shuang. They don’t have any grievances. They…”

Clatter——

Xu Cheng’s pen fell to the ground. He stared at Shen Wan with wide eyes and excitedly asked again, “What did you say their names were?”

“Chen Darong, Chen Feng, Yu Shuang…”

Hearing these familiar names again, Xu Cheng sat in his seat, mumbling incoherently, his eyes reddening as if he were about to cry.

Shen Wan ignored him and leaned over the table, drawing something.

Only Chen Darong and the others knew why she suddenly took out paper and pen to draw.

Earlier, sitting next to Shen Wan, Qin Ying had pointed at the food on the table. “I want to eat that. This looks delicious too. Can you draw that soup? Everything looks so good. If it’s too much trouble for Wan Wan, just draw me a bun to eat.”

Chen Darong and the others: “…” At first, they didn’t understand what was happening, but after Shen Wan drew a steamed bun and did something before burning it, a fragrant steamed bun appeared in Qin Ying’s hand.

Chen Darong and the others: This works? They had always thought that as soul bodies, they couldn’t eat human food anymore.

So this was the legendary “drawing a big cake to satisfy hunger”? Is this how it worked?

While Xu Cheng was reminiscing with red-rimmed eyes, Chen Darong and the others paid no attention. All their focus was on the food Shen Wan had drawn and burned for Qin Ying. It smelled delicious. They instinctively reached into their pockets, only to realize embarrassingly that they didn’t have a penny. Then they remembered they were soul bodies now, and even if they had money, it would be spirit currency. Clearly, Shen Wan had no interest in spirit money, and Qin Ying didn’t seem to need it either.

Qin Ying happily ate the food, noticing Chen Darong and the others’ gazes. She smirked, “Wan Wan, I want corn. Draw me an ear of corn.”

Shen Wan dutifully drew the corn. Heaven knows how strange the waiter had looked at her when she asked for a fire basin earlier.

“Student Shen Wan, have you given Xu Cheng the cases we solved?” Somehow, Chen Darong and the others had gathered around Shen Wan, looking at her expectantly. “When it’s time to split the money, can we use our share to buy some of this food from you? To be honest, I haven’t tasted watermelon in a long time. I’d like a watermelon.”

Chen Feng: “I want a glass of red wine and a steak.”

“A game console, I want a game console,” Yu Shuang’s eyes lit up. “It’s been so long since I’ve played games. My hands are itching.”

“Sure, so do you want to run a tab?” Shen Wan waved the pen in her hand. “I can draw them for you now.”

Chen Darong and the others nodded eagerly when they heard this. Running a tab sounded great.

When Xu Cheng came to his senses, he saw Shen Wan drawing a watermelon, red wine and steak, and a game console. She wrote “Burn for Chen Darong and the others” on the back and threw them into the fire basin to burn.

Xu Cheng crouched by the fire basin, took out money from his wallet, and handed it to Shen Wan. “I just heard you mention running a tab. Is it for Old Chen and the others?”

“Yes, Officer Chen wanted watermelon, Officer Chen Feng wanted red wine and steak, and Officer Yu wanted to play games.”

“I see. These were all their favorites when they were alive.” Xu Cheng’s eyes were still red as he gave Shen Wan all the money in his wallet. “When they want something, Student Shen Wan, just deduct it from this.”

Shen Wan didn’t hesitate to put the money in her schoolbag. “I’ll send you the case files they investigated later.”

Xu Cheng nodded, then tentatively asked, “Where are they?”

“Eating at the table.”

Xu Cheng turned back to his seat, indeed feeling that familiar chill. This time, instead of feeling creeped out, he felt strangely at ease.

“Little Xu Cheng is still so sentimental,” Chen Darong said, taking a satisfied bite of watermelon.

Yu Shuang, engrossed in his game console, said without looking up, “In half a month, the Captain will be eating dirt. He might have to bum cigarettes off others. He can’t settle down to read files without smoking a pack a day.”

Chen Feng elegantly enjoyed his steak. “Too much smoking isn’t good. It’s a good time to quit.”

Having gotten what they wanted, Chen Darong and the others looked at Shen Wan with great enthusiasm.

Shen Wan felt unnerved by their stares. She quickly organized the information and sent it all to Xu Cheng.

“Ying Ying, eat as much as you like. Later, let’s go to the mall to buy new dresses. I just handed over so many cases to Officer Xu; the rewards will surely be several hundred thousand. You can buy whatever you want.”

Sitting nearby, Chen Feng, whose shoes still had a hole, couldn’t help but glance at Qin Ying and Shen Wan several times.

Chen Darong looked down at his yellowing shirt, also staring unblinkingly at Qin Ying’s beautiful dress.

Yu Shuang: “I remember you burned more than twenty dresses for Qin Ying just a few days ago.”

“The seasons are changing soon,” Shen Wan blinked her eyes. “It’s time for autumn clothes. Who wears the same dress for all four seasons? I won’t let my Ying Ying suffer like that.”

“My Ying Ying is a refined girl, not some rough guy!”
