The Top Lawyer Is Still Being Hunted by Ghosts Today

At twenty-seven, Jiao Qian had made a name for himself in the seniority-driven legal world, all thanks to his ability to see ghosts.

Wrongful conviction cases with insufficient evidence, horrific cases shrouded in suspicion: in his hands, everything became crystal clear, and he solved them without breaking a sweat.

His biggest goal was to earn enough money to lie flat and slack off, never having to deal with all these messy cases again.

One day, a wealthy client came to his law firm, offering three million to hire him as a defense lawyer. There was just one condition: they had to work together and gather evidence in person.

Hearing the amount sent Jiao Qian's heart rate up to ninety.

Seeing the client made it shoot up to one hundred and eighty.

The man seemed to have stepped out of Florence's icy winds, handsome and stern, with a calm expression and an unsmiling face.

But Jiao Qian's heart wasn't racing because of his looks. It was because the man was surrounded by the ghosts of people who had died unjustly.

He looked like a gentleman, but he was a full-fledged murderer!

After being forced by a twist of fate to take the case, Jiao Qian felt that his bright future had met its toughest challenge yet.

Help a secret murderer win his case? No way!

He began investigating in secret while putting on a friendly front and working with this dangerous man to gather evidence.

At last, with his secret ability to see ghosts and the keen instincts he'd developed over years in the legal profession, he found proof that the man had committed murder.

Even then, Jiao Qian still thought he was on the outside looking in. A murderer had happened to come to him, and he'd happened to take on a bizarre case. All he had to do was hand over the evidence to the police and walk away unscathed.

But the ghost of a victim he'd just been comforting suddenly appeared behind him, wearing a chilling smile.

Hunted by a horde of vengeful ghosts and caught at the center of the storm, Jiao Qian was driven to the executioner's block with nowhere left to run.

The man, more terrifying than any ghost, appeared calmly to get him out of trouble. For the first time, a teasing smile touched his ice-cold face.

"Lawyer Jiao, are you still going to run off?"
