Yu Jie curled his lips. Seeing me standing blankly at the door, he came up and patted my chest, saying sarcastically, "We've all heard from Boss Ning about how you helped Zhao Xi exorcise the evil spirit. You're really awesome. But, this kind of fate, you can't change it just by exorcising the evil spirit. Look, you just got out of the hospital and they're getting married."

I rolled my eyes and pretended to be nonchalant, saying, "Zhao Xi is getting married. This is a good thing. As her colleagues, we should bless her."

"Oh my god, why does this sound so awkward coming out of your mouth?" Yu Jie winked at me. I didn't bother to pay attention to him. I was just about to go in and congratulate Zhao Xi when suddenly a pleasant ringtone came from Zhao Xi's bag.

From her conversation with the person on the phone, it was clear that the person she was talking to was most likely her husband. We waited for her to finish the call, and then Zhao Xi told us that she had to go out for something. After asking Ning Xue for leave, she walked towards the door.

When she passed by me, she looked up at me. I grinned at her, and she smiled back at me, then turned and left.

Until the end, I couldn't even say a word to her.

At the same time, I got a call from my boss, that fat guy, saying I was absent from work without reason and disrupting the company, and he fired me. Holy shit, Boss Ning had clearly asked for leave for me, so how could that be considered absenteeism? And what the hell was "disrupting the company"? When had I ever disrupted the company?

Damn, this fat guy really deserves a beating.

Ning Xue and the others asked me what was going on. I told them I was fired, and they were all shocked. Then Ning Xue called Fatty and asked why. Then she said to me gloomily, "This isn't really my decision. It was made by the directors above. - Xu Fei, you should leave the company for the next few days. I'll contact the directors as soon as possible and have you come back."

I nodded, told them I was fine, and returned to the staff dormitory. I packed my bedding and other daily necessities into a large bag and left the company. Honestly, they were truly my good colleagues of the past three years. Yu Jie and Wu Xin saw me leave the company in such a miserable state that they came to see me off, even saying all sorts of bad things about the directors above.

As for Ning Xue, she must have gone to the board to discuss matters. That evening, she called me and said, "Xu Fei, do you have a place to sleep out here? Or are you staying in a hotel?"

If it were before, I would definitely say no, but Su Xiaoniu told me that since I was fired from the company, it would be a good opportunity for me to go to her house, the attic on Tianhe Road. I told Ning Xue, "I'm at a friend's house. I'll turn off my phone during this time. If there's anything, just text me. I still check it occasionally."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

I drove my electric tricycle to Tianhe Road. This is my fourth time here. The first time was when I delivered a package, the second time was when I was possessed by a demon and came to seek help from Su Xiaoniu, and the third time was when I passed by here on my way to the power plant a while ago. This is my fourth time.

I suddenly felt that perhaps I had a connection to this place, otherwise I wouldn't have come here so many times. This attic is exactly the same as when I first saw it, with almost no difference. According to Su Xiaoniu, this is her hometown and no one has lived there for many years.

Su Xiaoniu said that she just wanted to go back to her hometown before reincarnation, but she didn't expect to meet me and then it would turn out like this...

The room was eerie and dark, having been uninhabited for years. The air was thick with gloom, and when I walked in, it felt like I was entering a haunted house. Fortunately, I'm no longer the same person I was back then. I can handle a real ghost, let alone a darkened room.

"Do you know why I asked you to come here?" Su Xiaoniu's question stumped me, and I shook my head and said I didn't know.

Su Xiaoniu said solemnly, "I know that even if Zhao Xi were to marry another man, if anything happened to her, you would still go and save her without hesitation. That's the premise. From my observations of your company over this period of time, and from Huo Yan's actions now, I suspect there's something else going on. Especially Huo Yan. She initially killed out of resentment, but now it's become a purposeful act. From this point of view, even getting rid of Huo Yan won't quell this disaster."

I asked curiously, "Purpose? What purpose?"

Su Xiaoniu analyzed, "When she showed up at the power plant, it was clear she was completely different from her previous habit of biting anyone she saw. And after Huo Yan escaped, you clearly asked for leave, but were still fired by the company for various reasons. Could there be any connection between them? Have you ever thought about it?"

After Su Xiaoniu mentioned this, I calmed down and sorted out my thoughts, connecting Huo Yan's matter with the company. It seemed that there really was a little bit of coincidence!
