“I also suspect that this matter is related to that so-called God-King.” Mingzhu changed the subject. “Haven’t you noticed that the shadow of that God-King has been behind several recent incidents?”
He Wangyao immediately became alert: "Why does this look like a villain in a TV drama?"
He instantly imagined hundreds of episodes of the plot, feeling that the conspiracy was like a huge net, enveloping everyone in it.
Thinking about it like that gives me goosebumps all over.
Mingzhuo: "I hate people who pretend to be mysterious the most. I don't care who they are, I'll just stab them with my sword."
Gu Xu: "We still need to be careful and not be careless."
He also realized that there wasn't a single truly capable fighter in the Xuanmen sect, and that the Divine Lord was clearly backed by a large organization.
He was never comfortable letting Mingzhuo deal with a cult-like organization by himself.
Mingzhuo nodded. "I know."
She decided to take advantage of the summer vacation to resolve this matter as soon as possible, but Li Wenhe could not accompany her this time.
The internal power struggle within the Li family has reached a fever pitch. His ruthless methods in the past have driven those people to desperation.
If we leave now, things could change completely.
After weighing the pros and cons, Li Wenhe decided to stay, determined not to give up an inch of the property his mother had left him.
Mingzhuo understood this and simply decided not to bring Pei Di along either.
She invited a few people to have a simple meal together, and this time she was paying.
He Wangyao was very supportive and arranged to have dinner in the evening. Since he had nothing to do in the afternoon, he decided to go get his hair done.
The new hairstyle is a sign of respect for the boss's treat, and besides, Qinghai Province is said to be incredibly beautiful, so this will allow me to take some nice videos and photos.
He went to the barbershop he had visited with Gu Xu last time, and regretted it as soon as he entered. Why were there so many people?
"How long will it take for the head chef?" He ordered from this head chef last time, and his skills were quite good.
The receptionist smiled and said, "The head waiter won't have to wait; it can be arranged immediately."
When He Wangyao entered the VIP room, she saw the chief Tony sitting on a single sofa playing on his phone. Upon seeing a customer arrive, he hurriedly stood up and greeted her with a smile.
During the haircut, He Wangyao expressed her doubts.
"Why are there so many people waiting for a table, but you don't seem busy today?"
This time was completely different from the last time he came. He remembered that last time he was able to get a turn with this chief because he had made an appointment in advance.
Upon hearing this, the chief was immediately indignant and had a lot of grievances to vent: "They're not waiting for me, they're waiting for number 14."
“You’re saying he’s just a new apprentice who hasn’t been in the business for long. What does he know or do? He just uses his smooth talk to get customers to top up their accounts.”
"He's like a male fox spirit, it's really creepy!"
He Wangyao asked with great interest, "How strange is it?"
"How strange is that?" The chief lowered his voice and leaned closer. "Does it count if he never sweats in the middle of summer? Once I accidentally touched his hand, and it was ice-cold, like he wasn't even alive! And many customers in the store have also said that his hands are icy cold and make scalp massages feel very comfortable."
Having seen many ghosts, He Wangyao's heart skipped a beat. She calmly replied, "Perhaps someone used ice to chill their hands?"
Chief Executive: "He said so too, and the store manager believed it and even praised him for his dedication. But I once saw him lock himself in the store's refrigerator."
He Wangyao: "???"
"Really, it was locked for about half an hour. Could an ordinary person do that?" The chief looked horrified.
The air conditioner was humming overhead, blowing cold air, and He Wangyao felt that the chill seeped into her bones.
He thought to himself, "Could I be that unlucky?" He hadn't brought any talismans because he was planning to have dinner with the boss tonight.
After He Wangyao finished getting her hair done, she tried her best to avoid looking in that direction as she passed by the lobby.
As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat. This saying is a golden rule in horror movies. As long as you can resist the urge to explore and your curiosity, ghosts and monsters will never find you!
But what he feared most came true; he suddenly felt a chill on the left side of his skin, a sensation very similar to the yin energy brought by a vengeful ghost.
He Wangyao forced herself to walk forward, but the person suddenly spoke.
"You...wait a minute, I think I know you."
He Wangyao thought to herself, "Know your mother? You devils just want to eat my flesh and drink my blood."
That thing actually reached out to grab him, and just as the chief had said, it was ice-cold.
Now that He Wangyao was even more certain, she dared not linger any longer and immediately turned and ran.
He thought to himself that even at five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still scorching hot in the summer, and he didn't believe that this thing was not afraid.
But he was wrong; the thing actually chased after him!
"Wait!" the thing was still calling out, and He Wangyao ran as fast as she could.
Meanwhile, at the store entrance, the chief executive stood there dumbfounded.
The receptionist said, "Brother Wang, your customer skipped out on the bill."
She added, "But don't worry, Aze went after him, he'll definitely get him back."
chief:"……"
He thought the handsome young man was a good person, but it turned out he was a liar who had deceived his feelings!
He clutched his wounded heart, almost bursting into tears, lamenting his miserable fate.
——
He Wangyao ran wildly, feeling the yin energy following her like a shadow.
Only the boss can save him at this moment!
Fortunately, before he even reached the dinner venue, he spotted a familiar figure in the coffee shop next door. Who else could it be but Mingzhuo?
