Chapter 577 Why do you have so many things to do?
Upon hearing Ye Wanxi's words, everyone fell silent in unison.
What kind of obsession could make someone unable to find peace even after death?
These young people had just learned their lesson from their curiosity not long ago, yet they still hadn't learned their lesson. They were still aroused by men's affairs and couldn't help but want to find out more.
"No matter what, you have made a promise, so you must keep it."
Li Weiming nodded, patted his chest, and said, "Miss Ye, rest assured, we will absolutely keep our word and won't make things difficult for you."
Ye Wanxi was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and said, "What's so difficult for me? I'm just a witness, not an executor. Whether you do it or not has little to do with me. As long as you're not afraid of being harassed by him, you can just slack off."
Everyone immediately felt a chill run down their spines, mechanically shook their heads, and indicated that they would absolutely not slack off.
Song Xiaohui and her close friends were quite optimistic: "Drowning is no small matter. If someone has actually died, it might have made the news and caused a big stir. My cousin's family owns a newspaper. We'll go back and ask him. We'll definitely be able to find out soon."
"Yes, yes, my family can also help."
Ye Wanxi glanced at the group and said meaningfully, "Things that cause a stir are not hard to investigate; what's hard to investigate are those that don't cause a stir."
Wen Jue frowned, sensing that Ye Wanxi's words had a hidden meaning.
"Those who need to leave have left, and it's getting late, so I won't disturb you as you're tidying up. I'll head back now."
"We'll take you." When Wen Yuan arrived, she didn't see any cars nearby and assumed Ye Wanxi had taken a taxi.
They called someone out to help so late at night; it wouldn't be right to leave her to go home alone.
"No need, my man is waiting nearby. He'll come to pick me up when I go downstairs in a bit."
"Wait." Seeing that Ye Wanxi was about to leave, Li Weiming and the others' expressions changed slightly, and they hurriedly tried to stop her.
"Is there anything else?"
"Um, that..."
"Um?"
"Thank you for coming to rescue us so late at night. It's so late, and we're all still shaken. We really don't know how to treat you properly. When are you free? Let's arrange a time to treat you to a meal to thank you properly."
"No need for thanks. I'm just doing my duty as a servant. I'm not here for free either; Miss Wen will pay me for my attendance later. If you want to thank someone, thank her."
Everyone was stunned by Ye Wanxi's words, especially Wen Yuan.
However, she quickly realized what she meant and said with a faint smile, "Yes, Miss Ye was invited by me, so naturally I should pay the bill."
That's what they say, but their own brother's life is priceless. They have to pay the money and remember this favor.
Hearing Ye Wanxi say this, Li Weiming felt a pang of regret, and also felt a surge of envy, jealousy, and hatred towards Wen Jue.
The events that had just transpired had made him absolutely certain that the person before him was a truly capable and formidable individual.
Whether or not they eat, or whether or not they spend money, are secondary. The main thing is to use this as an excuse to curry favor with Ye Wanxi and build a good relationship with her.
There are quite a few people who think this way. Children from families like theirs are often precocious and have a different perspective on things than their peers.
I know there are some people I should befriend deeply, and I must befriend deeply.
We can't arrange a meal together, but there's another thing we can't miss.
"There's one more thing."
"What?"
"Could you sell me a few of those amulets for good luck?"
The others' eyes lit up: "We want some too!"
Ye Wanxi was silent for a moment. She had no reason to turn away business that was offered to her, so she immediately waved her hand and said, "Limit of five tickets per person, no bargaining."
Upon hearing that there was a purchase limit, no one bothered to ask how much the price was, and they pushed forward like aunties grabbing a bargain at a supermarket.
While squeezing through the crowd, he shouted, "Give me five bills. I have a lot of family members, and I don't lack money."
"I want five too!"
"Leave me five too!"
"Are you all animals? If everyone takes this much, will there be any left for us?"
"Ladies first, ladies first, what are you men doing pushing and shoving? Make way."
"Pah! You brat, you always talk about gender equality and forbid us from treating you girls differently, right? Why are you suddenly saying ladies first? Women are so fickle."
"Fickle my foot! So straight, no wonder you can't find a girlfriend. You deserve to never find a girlfriend in your life."
"Sigh, how did things get so out of hand, even turning into personal attacks?"
Seeing this group of close friends who had recently shared life and death and survived a crisis together, now putting on a show of fake friendship over a few amulets, almost coming to blows, was quite a spectacle.
Ye Wanxi: "..." There's no need for that. She has plenty of stock, and if she really runs out, she can write more on the spot.
Wen Yuan and her companion, who were forced to the side, were speechless. If someone who didn't know the situation saw this, they might think they were busy buying cheap cabbages!
After finally selling off her stockpile of goods, Ye Wanxi earned a sum of extra money. Just as she was about to leave, Li Weiming called her back again.
Ye Wanxi was puzzled: "Why do you guys have so many things to do?"
Li Weiming felt as if an arrow had been pierced his heart: "..." I didn't want to be so clingy, but I'm only thinking about my life.
"It's like this, as Miss Ye just mentioned, it's a one-month period, and by then we need to hand over all the information we've gathered to that gentleman. Could you please come over and witness this for us again? Of course, it won't be unpaid; I'll pay for your attendance."
"Not only that, if we really can't find out that gentleman's enemy after a month, we will definitely have to meet with that gentleman again in the future. Could you please be there every time? Name your price, money is not a problem."
Li Weiming was genuinely terrified, even though Ye Wanxi had said there was a contract in place and that the man wouldn't harm them.
But you can't be too afraid of the unexpected! Even humans can be untrustworthy, let alone ghosts.
If something unexpected happens, they might not even have the chance to ask for help.
If Ye Wanxi were there to watch over them, they would feel safe even if they did nothing.
Ye Wanxi did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Wen Yuan and the other person.
Wen Jue was among these people, and Wen Yuan was naturally worried about him coming to the appointment with these people without any protection.
"I'd like to ask Miss Ye to take care of that."
"Okay, I'll be there on time."
"Thank you, thank you!" Li Weiming breathed a sigh of relief and warmly led Ye Wanxi and the others out, "I'll see you out."
"Let's go too."
"No need, you stay and pack your things." Ye Wanxi glanced at the almost ruined hall with a hint of regret. Given the extent of the damage, it would probably need to be renovated.
