An Unusual Life Beginning with Evil Spirits-Chapter 169 : Something Thrilling

Volume 4: High School Arc - “I” Come to Find You~
Although today was September 28th, still three or four days away from receiving my October allowance, I needed to save where I could.
With my current budget, I could definitely afford normal clothes, but luxury clothing might be pushing it.
"Don’t worry."
This morning alone, we had probably spent tens of thousands.
With the way we were buying whatever we saw, it was impossible to spend less.
But well, I considered this a thank-you to Reina for always taking such good care of my daily life.
After tidying up a bit, the three of us bought some snacks and headed straight to the amusement park.
As soon as we arrived, I went to the restroom, and naturally, Shao He and Reina followed right behind me.
Once inside, without hesitation, I pulled out my phone and called Xu Han.
Although Jiang Yulong was the manager and Xu Han was the deputy manager, Xu Han was clearly more cautious than Jiang Yulong.
"Hello? Yunyan? I’m in a meeting. What is it?"
As soon as the call connected, I heard some noise on the other end.
It sounded like a meeting was indeed happening, but right now, that wasn’t more important than my business.
"Sister Xu Han, I need you to look into two people right away. Make sure not to alert them, and back to me in secret."
On the other end, Xu Han fell silent for a moment.
Then I heard her speak away from the phone.
"I’ll step out for a bit. Delay the meeting ten minutes."
Next came the sound of high heels and a door opening.
Then it suddenly went quiet, and Xu Han’s voice returned.
"Yunyan, the people you want investigated—are they connected to this incident?"
"Mm."
"Alright then. Tell me who."
"One is Lili—full name Miao Li. The other is a young man surnamed Wang. His age should be between twenty-five and twenty-eight. He should be fairly close to the deceased, Zhang Yang. I want to know this young man's address, everyone he’s close to, and also whether he had any prior conflict with Zhang Yang."
There was a moment of silence on the other end.
I could clearly hear the sound of a pen moving over paper.
A few seconds later, Xu Han replied.
"Okay. I’ll get back to you in an hour."
Just as Xu Han was about to hang up, I quickly said:
"Sister Xu Han, wait!"
"Hm? What else is there?"
Xu Han sounded slightly puzzled.
I thought of the criminal investigation captain just now, frowned slightly, and said:
"Sister Xu Han, be cautious when investigating. Don’t leave any traces. I think… the police might find this person tonight. I know it might be difficult, but I’m begging you—get me the information before they do."
I had seven days to find them.
If the police found this Wang person first, I’d be in trouble.
Then how would I approach him?
Although I had a strong feeling that this mission was influenced by someone behind the scenes, if the other party was in a similar situation to mine, then both the police and Xu Han could be in danger.
And the person might not even be the young man surnamed Wang.
As for why I pegged his age between twenty-five and twenty-eight—
It was because in Zhang Yang’s phone, the contact was saved as “Brother Wang,” and Zhang Yang was twenty-five this year.
Lili had also saved him as Brother Wang, but Lili herself was only twenty.
And based on the old man Zhang’s memory—
He had saved that kid more than ten years ago.
When an old man says “more than ten years ago,” it usually means around sixteen years or so.
That child back then shouldn’t have been too old.
A twelve or thirteen-year-old should’ve already had enough ability to resist.
So I concluded that this Wang was probably around twenty-six or twenty-seven, not much older.
Of course, that was assuming the child the old man mentioned was indeed this young man surnamed Wang.
If they really matched up, then… this Wang guy was highly suspicious.
After saying all that, I quickly used the restroom.
At times like these, it was really more convenient being a guy…
Because of my increasingly severe mysophobia, I had become extremely particular about hygiene.
I used up three wet wipes before finally stepping out of the restroom.
Shao He and Reina were already waiting for me at the door.
Both of them had a certain excitement in their eyes—Reina’s was unreserved and full of anticipation, while Shao He’s was slightly suppressed.
But it was obvious they were both looking forward to the amusement park.
Well… as a foot-scratching man in his thirties, back when I was Zhang Yiwei, I had never even been to an amusement park once in my life.
If it weren’t for everything going on, I might have been excited too.
But now, I could only pretend to be excited.
"Waited long, huh? Come on, let’s go have fun. What should we try first?"
I walked quickly out, side by side with Reina and Shao He, heading into the amusement park.
The tickets were already bought.
They were the big all-access passes, the most inclusive kind.
Not even a tenth the price of a cheap handbag.
That's luxury for you.
"Mm… yeah, where should we go first?"
Shao He looked around at the lively amusement park, her eyes filled with expectation and a hint of hesitation.
She glanced here and there, touching her chin in thought.
It was my first time too, so I felt a bit lost.
Just like Reina, I looked at this and that, my face showing classic indecisiveness.
"Then how about the pirate ship first?"
Suddenly, Reina looked at the thing swinging back and forth with people screaming nonstop, her little face full of excitement.
What the… Reina actually liked this?
Wouldn’t have guessed…
She always gave off such a calm and steady vibe.
Who knew she liked such thrilling things?
Shao He glanced over at the pirate ship and nodded.
"Mm, sure. Yunyan, what do you think?"
When Shao He said that, Reina also turned to look at me.
Seeing the anticipation in both their eyes, I couldn’t exactly say no.
"Alright then, let’s go. Pirate ship first!"
With a wave of my hand, the first ride of the day was decided.
The three of us excitedly made our way to the pirate ship.
Unexpectedly, there was a line, so we had to wait a bit before getting on.
As for whether it was thrilling… to me, not really.
I’d been through way scarier stuff.
This level… didn’t even come close to fear.
Still, the physical pressure gave my body a bit of an excited reaction.
My face flushed a little, and my heartbeat quickened.
Sigh… humans really are weak.
After the pirate ship, we went straight to the pendulum ride.
I didn’t feel much, but… Shao He didn’t look too good.
Emmm…
Didn’t expect Shao He to dislike that weightless feeling.
After getting off the pendulum, her face was completely pale.
In contrast, Reina—usually so quiet and well-behaved—had a face full of excitement.
Her big eyes were practically shooting lasers at the roller coaster.
"Sister Shao He, are you alright?"
