Chapter 44 Harsh Treatment

Zhang Xiaoli is a clerk at a luggage store near this commercial area.

The woman who fell from the building was Li Rumei, a colleague with whom she had a good relationship.

In addition to the two shop assistants, their store usually also has the boss and his wife.

Not long ago, the proprietress went on a long trip and brought back an exquisitely crafted jointed doll and placed it in the store. She also jokingly said that she would let the doll guard the door at night in the future.

Not long after that, the boss's wife became pregnant and stayed at home to take care of the baby, leaving only the boss and the two of them in the store.

That's when strange things happened...

First, the boss's wife took an overdose of sleeping pills at home and almost died, and her child was lost as a result.

After that, Li Rumei suffered from intermittent mental disorders.

Zhang Xiaoli saw Li Rumei hiding in the bathroom of a shopping mall twice, pricking her arms and legs with needles.

In addition, Zhang Xiaoli felt that her physical condition was not very good.

She was exhausted every time she went to work.

Her condition didn't improve until she left the store after get off work.

What happened today was that Li Rumei suddenly burst into tears with her head in her hands without any warning while at work.

Then he rushed out of the store and took the elevator to the top floor!

Seeing that something was wrong with Li Rumei, Zhang Xiaoli immediately chased after her. After Li Rumei went to the top floor, she took the next elevator to follow her.

As a result, Li Rumei jumped off the building with a dazed look on her face!

Zhang Xiaoli was so scared that her legs went limp, but she still forced herself to run downstairs and called her boss to tell him about it.

When she went downstairs, her colleague Li Rumei was already dead!

Zhang Xiaoli didn't know why Li Rumei jumped off the building, but she knew very well that Li Rumei was a single mother with a daughter.

Even for her child, Li Rumei would never commit suicide!

All of Zhang Xiaoli's confusion suddenly became clear after she heard the girl's voice.

The girl said that her forehead was black and she needed to exorcise evil spirits to avoid disasters. Not long after, her best colleague in the store jumped to her death.

Now the little girl appears again, insisting on selling the talisman. No matter whether the talisman is useful or not, she will buy it even if it means spending money to buy peace of mind.

"Buy, I'll buy one!"

As she spoke, she took out a handful of change from her pocket and counted out a hundred yuan with trembling fingers.

In the sky, the rain gradually stopped.

On the ground, blood mixed with rainwater spread over a large area.

Lan Xi moved his feet a little, then reached out and took the money from Zhang Xiaoli.

Then, she groped in the small cloth bag at her waist, took out a folded yellow talisman, and handed it to Zhang Xiaoli.

The moment Zhang Xiaoli took the talisman to ward off evil and avoid disaster, her heavy body, which seemed to be shackled, suddenly felt relaxed!

Lan Xi watched the black energy on the forehead of the young beauty in front of her gradually fade away, her expression unchanged.

I sold the talisman and made money while helping a group of innocent people. This can be considered as doing good deeds for myself.

After doing all this, Lan Xi was ready to leave with her brother.

At this moment, someone among the crowd of onlookers recognized her!

"It's that girl on the variety show who's incredibly accurate in fortune-telling!"

"This little girl is really capable! Selling talismans to others now, this must be something very difficult!"

"Could it be that the jumping off the building was caused by some ghost? Otherwise, why would the girl sell the talisman to that woman?"

…

As discussions around them grew, some people even filmed videos and did live broadcasts.

Zhang Xiaoli heard what the passersby said, and after she got the yellow talisman in her hand, she felt that her condition had obviously improved...

She immediately understood that the little girl might really have great abilities!

Thinking about the boss’s wife who is still in the hospital and my colleague Li Rumei who jumped off the building.

She was worried that something might happen to her.

At this moment, she seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and shouted to the little girl, "Master! Please, save me!"

Zhang Xiaoli's reaction made the handbag shop owner frown in question.

Then, he seemed to think of something, so he walked up to Zhang Xiaoli and spoke politely to the girl.

"master……"

"Call me Taoist Priest."

The little girl frowned, not happy with the title of 'Master'.

The handbag shop owner immediately changed his tune.

"Master, I would like you to check on my wife. Recently, my wife..."

"Crazy?" Lan Xi took over the words of the handbag store owner.

Hearing her say this, the boss was stunned, with an incredible look in his eyes!

If he had doubts about the girl's abilities before, now he also believed that the girl in front of him could solve those 'difficult problems'!

"Yes, my wife is completely crazy! She has a mental problem. When she has an attack, she takes a razor blade and cuts off her flesh piece by piece!"

When the handbag shop owner talked about this, there was horror in his eyes.

When Zhang Xiaoli heard the boss say this, she suddenly remembered that before Li Rumei died, she was also in a bad mental state and stabbed herself with a needle.

It turns out that the boss lady hasn't been to the store recently, not entirely because she is recuperating in the hospital.

But her mental disorder is even more serious than Li Rumei's!

Her intuition told her that Li Rumei's death might be directly related to the boss's wife!

Lan Xi, who was standing by, heard what the shop owner said and was not surprised at all.

"I can't help you with your wife's problem," she said.

It's not that you are really powerless, but it's the law of cause and effect. If you get involved, you will lose your virtue.

"I'm willing to pay you 30,000 yuan!"

In desperation, the shop owner planned to throw money at the girl until she helped him.

Thirty thousand may not be a big deal for the Lan family, but for Lan Xi, it is not a small amount.

Lan Xi felt that if it were her master, he would definitely raise the price, so she took over the job.

But she didn't want to do evil things for money like her master did.

So she looked at the shop owner, with some sympathy on her face, and shook her head to refuse.

"You are so good to your wife, but do you know how she treats your daughter?"

The girl suddenly asked this question, and the shop owner was stunned!

"My daughter was lost two years ago..."

When mentioning this incident, the shop owner couldn't help but feel sad.

Lan Xi could see that he was truly sad for his daughter.

This made her sympathize with the man even more.

So she couldn't help but say a few more words -

"Your wife has a serious patriarchal mentality. Your daughter is often mistreated and beaten by her biological mother when you are not around. She doesn't even dare to tell you about her experiences."

"Your daughter is missing because your wife took her out shopping and ignored your five-year-old daughter, which is why she got lost."

"She didn't find out your daughter was missing until a long time later. She was afraid you'd be angry, so she pretended to be heartbroken for a while."

After hearing what the young Taoist priest said, the shop owner stood there in a daze, looking as if he couldn't believe it!

"That's impossible! My wife treats my daughter very well and always buys her new clothes!"

"That's because your wife grabbed your daughter's clothes and tore them when she picked her up and beat her." Lan Xi sighed.
