Chapter 397 Don't chase me away, I'll tell you everything
Cheng Jiangkai saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurried over to smooth things over, "Stop arguing, Jingru! Zhuozhuo and the others are guests, why are you so ignorant?"
He turned around and apologized to Ruan Mulan, "Manling left suddenly, and we were inevitably overly sad. My words were a little inappropriate. I'm sorry."
He corrected his attitude and was polite, without any of the previous contempt and preaching.
Cheng Jingru lowered his head and said nothing.
Mingzhuo took a look and guessed that the Cheng family would probably not let him keep vigil.
And he didn't see Liu Manling's body. The coffin was covered, and no one was allowed to take a last look.
She guessed that if she asked to open the coffin, the Cheng family would probably think that she was here to mess things up... After thinking about it, she decided to forget it.
Cheng Jiangkai caught up with them just as the three of them stepped out of the door.
Although he wanted to get close to Ruan Muran and Ruan Mingying, now was not the time, so he could only pull Ming Zhuo aside with a little regret.
"Zhuo Zhuo, we were wrong about what happened in the past, I apologize to you." He looked up at Ming Zhuo with a worried look, "Can you see that my forehead is dark?"
He had watched the live broadcast of Hongguang Building, and when no one else noticed anything wrong, Ming Zhuo could see that the faces of several white-collar workers had changed.
Ming Zhuo: "..."
"You have been possessed by an evil spirit, but Cheng Jingru should have given you an amulet." She said in a very affirmative tone.
Cheng Jiangkai: "!!!"
He was immediately excited, "You really saw it! A few days ago, I almost died too!" He
had been holding this matter in his heart for a long time, and he didn't even tell Cheng Jingru, but when he saw Ming Zhuo, he couldn't help but tell her everything.
"Zhuozhuo, I found that your mother... no, it was Manling, she was very abnormal! I had a quarrel with her that morning, and then I went to the bathroom to clean the bathtub, and I felt someone pushed me. At that time, I suspected it was a ghost... In fact, when I was struggling under the water, I glanced outside, and Manling was looking at me by the bathtub!"
Afterwards, every time he thought of that scene, he felt a chill in his heart.
But he refused to believe that his wife would be so cruel as to put him to death.
"Do you think Manling was possessed by an evil spirit, and then the evil spirit took her life?" Cheng Jiangkai guessed.
Ming Zhuo asked back: "Do you think so? Was there anything abnormal about her during those days?" Cheng
Jiangkai thought about it carefully: "No."
Ming Zhuo: "So why did you come to me? What do you want?"
Cheng Jiangkai hesitated, "Zhuozhu, I heard that the amulet that only counts three hexagrams is very effective. Can you... sell me one?"
He didn't dare to let Ming Zhuo give it to him. After all, if it was given away for free, who knew if it would be ineffective.
Ming Zhuo saw that he looked sympathetic and was obviously scared.
She thought for a moment and nodded, "The amulet I drew myself is now selling for 120,000 yuan each. Since we are acquaintances, I will give you a discount of 180,000 yuan."
Cheng Jiangkai was surprised: "Okay, okay, I will transfer the money to you right away!"
As long as his life can be saved, spending some money is nothing!
Moreover, this price is in line with his expectations. It is not so cheap that he doubts the efficacy, and it is quite favorable.
The two of them completed the transaction quickly, and Cheng Jiangkai walked back to the mourning hall with ease.
Judging from the posture, it doesn't seem like his wife died, but like he won a big prize.
Ruan Mulan and Ruan Mingying were both confused. Why were they so happy all of a sudden?
Mingzhuo: "He is just afraid of death."
It is human instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm, but Cheng Jiangkai's ability to do this also made her look at him with admiration.
This person really puts profit above all else and is cold-hearted.
He was the one who hypocritically watched Mingzhuo being tortured, he was the one who coveted and harassed Ruan Mingying, and he was the one who belittled Ruan Mulan's status everywhere.
In the end, it was still him who changed his attitude and tried to get along well with their family.
Mingzhuo suddenly said, "Have you seen enough? Can you come out now?"
Ruan Mulan and Ruan Mingying looked at the door in surprise.
Is there someone standing there? Liu Manhua followed Cheng Jiangkai out. She always felt that her brother-in-law's attitude towards Ruan Mulan and her daughter was not right. Would he hook up with other women immediately after his wife died?
However, she did not find that Cheng Jiangkai hooked up with other women, but she found that Cheng Jiangkai spent 180,000 to buy an amulet!
How can this be? !
"What kind of amulet is selling for 108,000? You are a scammer, be sensible and return the money to me, otherwise I will call the police!" Liu Manhua threatened.
Ming Zhuo: "Cheng Jiangkai spent his money, what does it have to do with you, why should I return it to you?"
Liu Manhua choked and said rudely: "Anyway, I don't care, you must return the money!"
Ming Zhuo: "Then you should call the police, I still think 180,000 is too cheap, let Cheng Jiangkai return the amulet, and I will raise it to 180,000."
Liu Manhua was about to She was so angry: "Are you crazy? One hundred and eighty thousand for one ticket, why don't you go and grab it!"
Ming Zhuo: "Compared to your life, it's certainly not expensive. I advise you to buy one as soon as possible. One hundred and eighty thousand can save your life, it's still worth it."
Liu Manhua was so angry that her chest heaved violently: "Psycho!"
She felt that Ming Zhuo was deliberately taking revenge on her for saying that your mother was dead. The more she thought about it, the more unlucky she felt.
But then she remembered that the person in front of her was a master of mysticism, not a child who could be bullied at will.
In the end, she didn't dare to argue, and she said "Puh" twice, turned around and went in.
Ming Zhuo stared at her profile for a moment, and suddenly said: "I'll give you a piece of advice, don't accept the benefits that come to your door, because the other party may be here to take your life."
Liu Manhua walked faster and faster, and it was unknown whether she listened or not.
——Before
the car arrived at Qinghuiju, Mingzhuo felt a pair of eyes staring at her.
She had strong five senses, and even from a distance, she could see a small shadow sitting behind the window of her room.
Mingzhuo walked into the room, and the puppet made a click and climbed onto her shoulder.
She took the puppet off her shoulder and took a look at it.
The Shadow Moon Clan has an ingenious mechanism. No matter where the puppet is, it will probably be considered a national trend art piece. It can be sold at a very high price and there are people willing to collect it.
Ming Zhuo looked at the face that looked like Shen Ruodi and sighed, "Have you done something behind my back recently?"
The puppet's eyes blinked slightly, with an innocent look on its face, as if it didn't understand what Ming Zhuo was talking about.
Ming Zhuo: "If you don't tell me, I will return you to Shen Ruodi someday. You are just picked up by me, and you must return to your original owner in the end."
The puppet's eyes widened in disbelief, and tears immediately appeared in his dark pupils.
With just a slight blink of his eyes, tears rolled down his cheeks and dripped onto his brocade robe.
Ming Zhuo was unmoved and looked at it calmly.
The puppet wiped his tears with his wide sleeves, stood up gently, jumped onto the desk, and with a flick of his fingertips, the pen on the desk quickly wrote a line of words.
[Don't chase me away, I'll tell you everything.]
No matter how sophisticated the Shadow Moon tribe's machinery is, they will not build tongues and larynx for puppets so that they can speak.
They were created by humans just to accompany children to play, just like a super-intelligent electronic toy.
