Chapter 573：The Lonely Top Student 36

Jiao Tong sneered coldly.

“I would rather have been abandoned by my biological parents and frozen to death in the wilderness than be adopted by your Jiao family!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed his phone and called Tang Wan.

…

At that moment, Tang Wan was hiding under her blanket.

It was the Ghost Festival—hundreds of ghosts roaming at night. She had no intention of seeing anything supernatural.

Just then, her phone rang.

She reached out from under the blanket, grabbed it, and saw Jiao Tong’s name flashing. She immediately answered.

“Tongtong, what’s wrong?”

“Wan Wan… he’s out…” His voice sounded strained, almost painful.

Tang Wan instantly threw off the blanket and jumped up.

“What?! Don’t be afraid—I’m coming right now!”

mmp! That thing still hasn’t disappeared?!

She shoved on her shoes and rushed out of the house, heading straight for Jiao Tong’s apartment.

…

When she arrived, she was about to call him to open the door—

Only to see her phone split clean in half.

“…Shit.”

She’d run out too quickly and forgotten to wear gloves.

No time to deal with it.

Tang Wan raised her hand and knocked hard on the door.

“Tongtong! Are you home?!”

…

Inside, Jiao Tong desperately wanted to open the door, but under the suppression of Jiao Chun, he couldn’t move at all.

At that moment, Jiao’s mother came out and switched on the living room light.

“Who is it?”

It was nearly midnight…

She opened the door—and saw Tang Wan standing there, looking pitiful.

“Auntie… is Tongtong home? My parents aren’t here tonight. I just watched a ghost story and got scared… I wanted to find Tongtong to stay with me…”

Hearing this, Jiao’s mother immediately smiled.

“He’s home, he’s home! Go in! There’s a guest room—you can stay here tonight if you want!”

“Thank you, Auntie!” Tang Wan nodded quickly and rushed inside.

…

Afraid she’d accidentally destroy the door, she used her sleeve to twist the handle open.

Then, under Jiao mother’s knowing gaze, she slipped into Jiao Tong’s room and quickly locked the door.

…

“Tongtong, how are you?!”

Seeing him drenched in sweat, Tang Wan hurried over.

The moment Jiao Chun sensed her, he let out a sinister laugh.

“So it’s you helping him? Then both of you can die today!”

Jiao Tong clenched the sheets tightly. “Don’t even think about it!”

He would never let this thing succeed.

“Wan Wan… he’s about to come out!” he forced out.

He couldn’t destroy Jiao Chun completely—but now, he could at least force him out of his body.

…

Tang Wan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“Then let him come out.”

Then she spoke sharply, “Little Cutie, scan Jiao Chun’s ghost form!”

“Yes, host!”

…

Soon, with the system’s help, Tang Wan saw a distorted, writhing force pushing its way out of Jiao Tong’s body.

Her expression turned cold.

Cracking her knuckles, she raised her hand and slapped straight toward that twisting mass.

Smack!

“Trying to bully my Tongtong?!”

Smack!

“Bullying him again?!”

Smack!

“I’ll beat you to death!”

She struck again and again, completely ruthless.

…

Outside the room, Jiao’s mother pressed herself against the door like a thief, eavesdropping.

Hearing the intense sounds coming from inside, she covered her mouth and giggled.

Then, satisfied, she tiptoed back to her room.

So that’s why Tang Wan came over so late at night…

My son’s doing pretty well after all!
