Chapter 19 Don't worry, I'll come to you soon Yang Yan
"Are ghosts so rude these days?" Zhu Huai reacted, looking a little stunned and a little angry: "Why did he just run away like that?"
The little mermaid yawned on Zhu Huai's shoulder, and the tip of its tail shook, as if agreeing with Zhu Huai's words.
"I didn't do anything, why is he so scared of me?"
Zhu Huai was thinking this, but suddenly he stared at Liu Xiang on his shoulder. Then, his eyes drifted for a moment, and he abruptly changed the subject. Perhaps Yang Yan had something urgent to do.
The target of the mission who turned into a ghost was scared away. Zhu Huai was helpless. He could only look at Liu Mingyue beside him. Among all the people present, perhaps only Liu Mingyue and Shen Wan saw what was in the computer.
Zhu Huai asked, "What did you just see?"
Liu Mingyue didn't understand what had happened. He glanced at Shen Wan, then suddenly frowned and said seriously, "My dear wife, I suspect I witnessed the entire process of a murder!"
Shen Wan’s eyes widened, he seemed a little bit unbelievable: “No, it’s impossible, you didn’t see anything!”
"It's true!" Liu Mingyue said righteously, "I saw the entire process of someone murdering Yang Yan. The video on this computer is the evidence!"
Shen Wan obviously couldn't accept Liu Mingyue's explanation: "How is it possible? These videos are travel videos I took. There is nothing else in them. How could there be any evidence of murder?"
At some point, cold sweat had already seeped out of his forehead, and he had become somewhat incoherent. He didn't know whether he was frightened by the ghost inside or by what Liu Mingyue said.
Zhu Huai said, "You seem very nervous. Even after Yang Yan died, he was still thinking about you. If it's not because you two have a good relationship, then it must be for other reasons, so..."
He lowered his eyes. Zhu Huai was very tall, and his handsome face already had a hint of oppression. Under his dark hair were a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything.
Zhu Huai asked, "What on earth have you done to make your good friend harass you like this?"
Behind them, Yang Yan in the black and white photo was still smiling, but his eyes seemed to still be looking at his best friend.
“It’s not me, it’s not me!” Shen Wan said, “You can’t have seen it, it’s not me, there’s nothing inside.”
Shen Wan said this with certainty, still holding onto a glimmer of hope, but Zhu Huai took a look and asked, “How can you be sure that all those things were taken by you?”
"Maybe some of these things were filmed by ghosts." Zhu Huai said, "No one ever said ghosts can't record videos, right?"
Shen Wan's expression was completely distorted. He had obviously hidden all the videos, but he had not expected that ghosts could also record videos.
The last psychological defense seemed to be completely shattered. He stumbled to the ground, only to meet the pair of eyes staring at him in the black and white photo. However, he clearly remembered that in the first photo, Yang Yan was looking in the other direction...
Zhu Huai asked, "What on earth did you see?"
Liu Mingyue replied, "I saw a man named Fan Geng pushing Yang Yan into a cave."
When he said this, he looked at Shen Wan, and then Liu Mingyue asked: "You should have seen it at that time, right?"
"I'll tell you everything." Shen Wan lowered his head. After hearing these words, his heart was completely dead. He said, "Please let me go."
Zhu Huai looked at the computer. He was also curious about what was inside. Nowadays, even ghosts can make memoirs for themselves.
Shen Wan's face was pale. He tried to stand up with difficulty, but found that his legs were almost as heavy as lead and he couldn't move.
He wanted the others to help him, but the three of them just looked at him indifferently. Shen Wan could only say: "Yang Yan is my best friend and my best brother..."
"We joined the same company. He has a bad temper and is always jumpy, which gets him into a lot of trouble, but I still continue to be brothers with him."
Shen Wan's eyes flickered, and he said: "But he is very lucky. Not only did he successfully complete a project, but he also has such a beautiful girlfriend."
The following story seems very clichéd. It is nothing more than that Fan Geng, a rich second-generation, falls in love with Meng Dai, and then begins to pursue her vaguely. After being rejected, Fan Geng seems to have given up the idea.
"I told Yang Yan a long time ago that if he broke up with Meng Dai, not only would he make progress in his career, but he would also be able to avoid a lot of trouble, but he didn't listen to me."
Facing the strange looks from the three people, Shen Wan hurried to explain himself: "I am doing this for his own good. If he had resigned and left the company earlier, none of this would have happened!"
However, the fact is, even though Yang Yan was ready to change jobs and leave the company, Fan Geng did not intend to let him go. Instead, he secretly took action and pushed Yang Yan into the cave.
Shen Wan actually didn't know the whole process of what happened, he just vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
It was not until he returned to the hotel and looked through the videotape he had left behind that he saw the entire process of Fan Geng committing the crime.
He was horrified and saw that in a corner of the video, Yang Yan was pushed down, but Shen Wan said nothing, and at that time, Yang Yan was actually not dead.
He simply took the videotape to find Fan Geng, blackmailed him, and got a hush money.
However, the conversation between him and Fan Geng was accidentally overheard by Zhou Yongchang and Peng Qiu. Peng Qiu asked for a huge sum of money from Fan Geng and dragged others along with him, but Fan Geng was not easy to get along with either.
Fan Geng said, "You all know about this, but some people don't. If they tell on us, what should we do?"
Peng Qiu said harshly, "Then tell them to shut up."
Fan Geng got everyone to agree on their confessions, fabricating the illusion that Yang Yan had left the team and disappeared, and asked everyone to sign a letter of guarantee.
After doing all this, Fan Geng took photos of everyone. He smiled and said, "Now, you are all my accomplices."
Except for Meng Dai, everyone knew where Yang Yan had gone, but no one spoke about it. Instead, they kept their mouths shut tacitly and watched Meng Dai searching for Yang Yan's whereabouts day after day.
Peng Qiu was even dissatisfied with this. After all, now, saving Fan Geng meant saving themselves.
With the cooperation of everyone, this incident was almost perfectly disguised as a missing person case. After a while, no one except Meng Dai would continue to track down Yang Yan's news... Until one day, Shen Wan was sleeping in bed, but suddenly heard Yang Yan's voice.
“Shen Wan, Shen Wan…”
The familiar voice whispered softly in his ear, and a faint smell of decay with the scent of grass and trees came, and Shen Wan, who was lying on the bed, got goose bumps.
He traced the source of the sound, but found that... the sound came from under his bed.
"Shen Wan." The familiar voice continued, "You saw it, right?"
Shen Wan's body was almost stiff. Who was under his bed? It was clearly Yang Yan's voice, but Yang Yan was clearly dead.
Just thinking about this, Shen Wan couldn't help but scream and rushed out of the room.
Everything that happened after that was what everyone else saw. Not only Shen Wan encountered all this, but several other people also had accidents one after another. Shen Wan could hardly control himself and lay on the bed trembling: "I am your best friend, why did you come to me?"
His voice trembled, and his teeth chattered violently: "If you want to find someone, go find someone else. Why did you come to me..."
He kept begging, but Yang Yan had no intention of letting him go. Perhaps it was because they were indeed good friends, so after death, Yang Yan also wanted his good brother to accompany him.
Perhaps this is the sincere friendship between Shen Wan and Yang Yan. After listening to what Shen Wan said, Liu Mingyue couldn't help but sighed. He said, "Yang Yan is a real ghost. You see, he didn't harm others at all. He just deliberately harmed you."
Liu Mingyue hadn't seen such a sincere and unpretentious ghost for a long time. He just wanted revenge. What had he done wrong?
Shen Wan couldn't help but stare at him with wide eyes, his face flushed, but he couldn't say anything.
Zhu Huai was wondering where Yang Yan had gone. He thought of something very serious. It seemed that the targets of Yang Yan's revenge must be these people.
If he wanted to find a suitable body to possess, then after leaving Shen Wan, he might go looking for someone else.
Although these people deserved to die, if Yang Yan succeeded in doing this, would his mission fail?
After Zhu Huai told this story, Liu Mingyue seemed to be hesitant to speak. He said, "Then, my dear wife, what are you going to do?"
Although Liu Mingyue sympathized with Yang Yan's situation, if Zhu Huai wanted to get rid of the ghost, he would obey. Zhu Huai coughed lightly and said, "I'm going to call the police."
At that moment, Zhu Huai seemed to emit light. Liu Mingyue's mind froze, a little stuck: "Call the police...?"
"Yeah, isn't it possible?" Zhu Huai said, "Since we have evidence in our hands, let's send these guys to jail first."
Liu Mingyue said, "Then what should Yang Yan do?"
"There are no ghosts in the world," Zhu Huai said. "The police can't do anything about ghosts."
Liu Mingyue: Okay, there are no ghosts in the world, he has completely understood everything.
Liu Tianshan didn't say anything from beginning to end. He just asked Shen Wan: "Where is the video you saved?"
Shen Wan heard what he said, his eyes flickered, as if he was still thinking about something, Zhu Huai looked straight at him, with a smile on his face, his appearance remained calm.
But for some reason, Shen Wan always felt that this seemingly peaceful person was the core of the three and the one who should not be offended the most.
Shen Wan lowered his head and said, “The videotape is with me. Fan Geng asked me to destroy it, but I secretly made a backup copy.”
The videotape was on the computer, but when the file was opened, it showed a password. Zhu Huai looked at Shen Wan, and Shen Wan said, "I can tell you the password, but you have to protect me... I don't want to die..."
"Heh." Liu Tianshan sneered. This man, who seemed to have said very few words from beginning to end, now said sarcastically: "Password?"
Then, in front of Shen Wan, Liu Tianshan just operated in front of the computer for a while, cracked the password, and copied the videotape.
Looking at this scene, Shen Wan was completely stunned. He rushed up anxiously: “That’s mine, give it back to me!”
Liu Tianshan said calmly: "Yang Yan may come back to find you, Shen Wan, you should think about it, will you go to jail next, or face a vengeful evil ghost?"
Shen Wan's movements were completely frozen. He grabbed his hair and finally regretted it. Zhu Huai asked, "Where are the others now? Yang Yan might go looking for them."
Shen Wan could only tell them everything he knew. Zhu Huai glanced at him, but turned around and left without hesitation, leaving only a talisman before leaving: "The evil ghost has left, you should think carefully about whether you want to take this opportunity to surrender yourself."
On the way out, Zhu Huai was a little confused. There were still some things he didn't understand. Zhu Huai said, "Yang Yan was trapped in the cave and kept calling for help. How could no one see him and no one hear him?"
"Ghosts can block our eyes, and humans can be blinded." Liu Tianshan explained, "Since ghosts can harm humans, if someone wants to attack an ordinary person, they can also kill him silently."
The methods used by Fan Geng must not be that simple. There are many strange things in this matter, but using such methods to harm others also makes Liu Tianshan, the heir of the Liu family, feel disgusted.
"If someone is interfering, then their purpose might be to create a fierce ghost."
Liu Tianshan continued, "Yang Yan is only secretly scaring people now, and he hasn't actually killed anyone. But if he breaks the precept of killing, then in the process, his sanity may slowly fade away."
All in all, this is a process of degeneration. Now Yang Yan only wants to kill his enemies, but he may not do so in the future.
Evil ghosts can be created artificially. If they don't stop them, Yang Yan will become more and more dangerous. It is not reasonable for them to see this happen.
But the remaining few people were located very far away. In this situation, Zhu Huai could only make arrangements: "Liu Mingyue, Liu Tianshan, you go find the other two people. I will go to Yang Yan's company to find Peng Qiu and Zhou Yongchang."
The situation was urgent, so Zhu Huai had no choice but to make such an arrangement. However, Liu Mingyue shook her head and said, "We have to protect our adopted wife."
Zhu Huai said: "Alas, silly child, I really don't need your protection."
Liu Mingyue wanted to say something, but Liu Tianshan said, "I'm going to find another person. If I get any information, I'll bring Yang Yan back directly."
"Liu Mingyue, come with us. Lord Zhu Huai will need you." Liu Tianshan said, "Remember to protect your own safety."
Liu Tianshan's gaze fell on Zhu Huai. This calm and serious man seemed to have seen something clearly, but he said nothing.
Liu Tianshan decided to go find the remaining person. Peng Qiu and Zhou Yongchang were both in the company, but Fan Geng was too far away. What's more, Liu Tianshan suspected that the guy didn't need their protection at all.
Zhu Huai nodded, Liu Tianshan greeted Zhu Huai, and hurried in a certain direction. Liu Mingyue followed Zhu Huai like a big tail. He was not worried about Liu Tianshan. He was more curious about the direct relationship between Zhu Huai and Liu Xiang.
Now that everyone else has left and it's getting dark, only Liu Mingyue and Zhu Huai are standing together, and there's no one else to restrain him.
Under such circumstances, Liu Mingyue, whose curiosity was aroused, could hardly help asking: How did Zhu Huai and the Lord of Sacrifice know each other?
But a hint of intuition made him shut his mouth and not say anything.
He was really curious about how Zhu Huai, who looked ordinary but possessed extremely powerful talents, could be connected with the deity hidden in the deepest part of the Liu family's ancestral home?
He looked at Zhu Huai in front of him. Even though there was only a tall figure, Zhu Huai's appearance still revealed an indescribable handsomeness. His identity seemed ordinary, but it made people puzzled.
But the first impression Liu Mingyue had of him and Liu Xiang standing together was that the two seemed to be a perfect match.
Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, the feeling of Zhu Huai being held tightly in Liu Xiang's arms seemed extremely harmonious.
That kind of intimate atmosphere and the feeling of being unable to be penetrated cannot be easily performed. Liu Mingyue did not know his ancestors, and of course did not know Zhu Huai in front of him. He just felt very curious.
Finally, when Liu Mingyue's furtive glance almost made the little merman who had been holding Zhu Huai lift up his body, Zhu Huai finally stopped. He turned around to look at Liu Mingyue, but suddenly reached out and patted him on the head.
"Ouch!" Liu Mingyue lowered her head. Zhu Huai said, "Why are you staring at me? Can't you see the way? Now that we're there, did your brother send you a message?"
Liu Mingyue lowered his head and took out his cell phone, but frowned. He said, "Oh, it's over."
Zhu Huai heard Liu Mingyue say, "When my brother rushed to the other party's house, he found that the guy had been stuffed into the trash can."
A living person was forcibly folded up and stuffed into the trash can in the bedroom. Liu Tianshan even searched around before he found the crumpled body.
Zhu Huai was silent for a moment: "How did you do that?"
"Perhaps this is the limit of the human body," Liu Mingyue said. "As long as you work hard, you can achieve things you've never done before... Ouch."
Zhu Huai withdrew his hand. He felt a little headache. Yang Yan had already killed someone, and he might attack other people in the future. This was very normal for ghosts, but it was not good for humans.
Zhu Huai said: "It's not there now. We have to find it quickly."
Liu Mingyue raised his head and seemed to see something. He suddenly let out a light exclamation and pointed in a direction.
Zhu Huai looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a figure as pale as paper standing by the window on a ten-story building, looking at them with a cold look.
His eyes were as empty as the steam rising from a water bottle, and his pale skin, illuminated by the light above his head, inexplicably revealed a dead blue-black hue.
It was a face that belonged to a dead man.
Looking at that scene, Zhu Huai waved at him. He felt like his mission was finally complete. Zhu Huai said, "Yang Yan, don't be afraid. I'll come to you soon!"
Even though they were at such a long distance, the expression on Yang Yan's face seemed to be distorted for a moment. He looked at Zhu Huai fiercely, but he dared not say anything, and disappeared in front of them just like that.
