Chapter 23
Because it had just been a few days since her miscarriage, Lu Anning rushed all day to the funeral home. Even though she had taken sufficient precautions on the road, she still had difficulty getting up the next day, so she called a doctor to examine her early in the morning.
Su Yun went to bed early and got up at six o'clock every day without fail, and then went to the yard to breathe fresh air. She heard some noise coming from the guest room building, so she asked the passing sexy ghost what was going on.
The ghost was holding a basket of chrysanthemums and turned around to say, "I heard that it seemed like she was having lochia discharge and her wounds were torn or something. Anyway, she started screaming in pain early in the morning and couldn't rest at night. In the early morning, they even contacted the chef to ask if they could cook some brown sugar eggs and boil some Chinese medicine."
"Is it so hard?" Su Yun was a little shocked. She was not old and no one would tell her what kind of care she would need after giving birth. The only thing she knew about childbirth was that Su Yiling borrowed money to let Ji Weitong give birth in the best private sanatorium.
Now that I think about it, Su Yiling's move was really reliable. Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman. Whether in ancient times or modern times, many problems are unavoidable. Good care can only make women feel a little better, but cannot completely relieve the pain.
The ghost tilted her head in confusion: "I don't know, I died very early, and I didn't have time to experience how painful it was. But I saw many pregnant women often couldn't stand it and cried all night and had to feed their babies. Miss Lu is lucky to have parents who are not short of money and love her."
After saying that, Yan Gui went back to her work. She had to decorate the ceremony hall with the ghost bride, and the fresh cut flowers had to be prepared almost today. She had no time to continue chatting with Xianyu's curator.
Su Yun sat on his recliner and thought for a long time. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and stood up from Lu Anning's screams. He was going to go to the guest room building to check. The other party was screaming so miserably, so he hoped nothing happened.
When Su Yun arrived at the guest room building and just went upstairs, she heard the heart-wrenching screams from afar. To put it more horrifyingly, it was like a ghost. She was probably the only one who slept well last night, as the ghost employees definitely couldn't sleep after hearing the screams.
Cautiously approaching the outside of Lu Anning's guest room, Su Yun peeked in and saw Lu Anning, who was holding Yi Fangjin's arm and half-squatting on the ground, crying with tears and saliva all over her face. Doctors and nurses were beside her, encouraging her to hold on, saying that if she took too many painkillers now, it would make her more sensitive to pain.
There was no man in the room. Lu's mother hugged Lu Anning and patted her back gently. Yi Fangjin was so anxious that she kept crying, probably because she was scared.
Before seeing this scene, Su Yun thought that they might not look for men in the future because they would be awakened. Now that he saw it, he suspected that the two of them were actually scared, so they would rather not look for men in the future. Anyway, the only ones who could comfort them in the hospital were their mother and best friend, so why would they need a man?
Su Yun looked for a while and turned to go to the big kitchen of the funeral home. There were guests in the funeral home today, and the cook was cooking inside. The fireman was burning several stoves at the same time. The two of them worked together and were busy.
"Master chef, second chef!" Su Yun rushed into the kitchen holding up her skirt.
"Hey, Director, why are you here? It's so smoky and you'll stink in a while." The cook quickly asked the fireman to turn off the fire and go with him to stop him.
Su Yun didn't run too close. Although she could cook, she didn't know how to use a stove like the one used by the chef. She was always afraid of getting burned. "I just wanted to ask, what should we do about Miss Lu's condition? The doctor refused to give her painkillers, saying that she would be more sensitive to pain in the future."
After listening, the cook and the fire-making master looked at each other. They both looked rough, but they actually knew diet therapy and acupuncture. However, others thought they were unreliable when they saw their body shapes, so these skills had never been developed.
The cook thought for a moment and said, "I cooked brown sugar eggs and medicine for Miss Lu last night. How should I put it? She actually had a common miscarriage. The symptoms she has now are what most women will experience. The medical staff in the hospital did not give her painkillers because the national standards have no effect on her pain. They can't give her more serious pain, so they just find a random excuse not to give her painkillers."
Su Yun is very experienced in this national standard. The country has very strict control over anesthetics and analgesics. There are only a few types of drugs that can be bought on a daily basis, and the actual analgesic effect is below a pain threshold.
However, the national standard is not based on the pain threshold of the human body, but on the cause of the disease. For example, for dysmenorrhea, painkillers such as scopolamine hydrochloride injection are used. However, its main function is not to relieve dysmenorrhea. The effect varies from person to person. Those with better effects may not be prescribed. If you are unlucky, the one that does not work for this purpose may not be able to feel its efficacy until the dysmenorrhea is over.
Four years ago, when Su Yun was rescued, she was in so much pain that she was unconscious. Su Yiling and Ji Weitang wanted to send her to the hospital for treatment, but they didn't know how to explain her injuries. They were also worried that if Su Yun showed up at that time, she would be taken back by the Su family.
After Su Yun left for college, she had no fixed place to transfer her household registration. The university could only keep her household registration for another two years. After two years, if she did not have a new household registration, she would be sent back to the Su family.
At that time, Su Yun needed pain relief, but Su Yiling and Ji Weitang couldn't buy any better painkillers, so they tried all kinds of folk remedies. Fortunately, the cook and the fire-making master were really skilled. They used food and acupuncture to relieve a large part of Su Yun's pain, otherwise he might not have been able to survive.
Now Su Yun wanted to let the fire-maker give it a try, but the fire-maker was a two-meter-tall man, and Lu's parents might not agree, so he became conflicted.
Seeing Su Yun struggling, the chef said, "Director, if you really can't bear it, go to the storeroom and get some pain-relieving incense to light for her. You were in so much pain before, so that incense won't be of much use to you, but it's fine for a normal miscarriage. Just light it for half an hour and it'll be fine."
"Really? Then I'll go look for it! Thank you, Master Chef and Second Chef!" Su Yun's eyes lit up and he ran away immediately.
The two chefs left in the kitchen smiled and shook their heads and continued to prepare today's breakfast and lunch.
Su Yun ran to the warehouse and began to look through the categories of incense. The art of incense is a subject that cannot be ignored in the history of China. When foreign countries were only studying how to cover up body odor and some of them remained unchanged for hundreds of years, China had already made great progress in the art of incense. It was a pity that there were not many successors.
Among a pile of spices with various functions, Su Yun found a few pieces of pain-relieving ones, broke off a little, and hurried to make incense powder. He then picked an inconspicuous incense burner in the warehouse, to prevent Lu Anning from moving too much when she felt pain.
The smell of the incense was a bit strong at the beginning, so Su Yun lit it outside and brought it to Lu Anning's room. Lu Anning had no strength left in her room, but she was still crying and rolling around, unable to sit, stand, or lie down.
Su Yun walked in and placed the incense burner on the bedside table. Everyone around her, except Lu Anning, looked at her in confusion.
"This is the calming incense I use at home. There is nothing that pregnant women cannot use. It can relieve pain and promote sleep. It will take effect after about half an hour of fumigation. Be careful not to let An Ning break it." Su Yun explained.
The doctor next to him came over and smelled it, but he didn't quite understand it: "Have you used this thing yourself? What if it doesn't work? If something happens, it will be too late to go to the hospital here."
Whether as a doctor or an accompanying doctor hired by the Lu family, she was very sensitive to such matters. On the one hand, she was unable to relieve the patient's pain, and on the other hand, it would make her appear particularly incompetent.
Su Yun explained: "I used something with a stronger effect before. At that time, I was seriously injured and had to light incense to fall asleep at night. Now this one has a very mild effect, similar to scopolamine hydrochloride injection, or in other words, it is a little stronger because it contains a sleeping pill."
The names of medical drugs, whether from abroad or at home, are basically difficult to remember for people who are not familiar with them. Seeing that Su Yun could fluently recite the scientific name of the dysmenorrhea painkiller injection, the medical staff decided to trust her a little.
Mother Lu was kept awake all night by Lu An Ning's commotion. She looked at the incense rising from the bedside table with hope: "Yun Yun, are you sure this will work? An Ning is in so much pain. She hasn't had a good night's sleep since her miscarriage."
"Don't worry, even if it can't completely relieve the pain, it's good to be able to fall asleep later." Su Yun comforted.
Since he was already here, Su Yun didn't go out, but stayed in the guest room to observe Lu Anning's situation.
In the first ten minutes, Lu Anning was crying and howling, rolling on the bed in pain. Ten minutes later, she began to moan slowly, and it seemed that the pain had eased. After half an hour, she was able to lie peacefully in bed. After a while, she finally fell asleep.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that she could fall asleep. Then Lu's mother and the medical staff arranged Lu Anning's body, covered her with a quilt, and let her rest for a while.
A nurse was left to watch over the room, and everyone left.
After closing the door, Lu's mother sighed, forced a smile and said to Su Yun: "Thank you, Yunyun, you really helped a lot this time. It's a good thing that Jinjin decided to ask you to hold the funeral for the child."
"You're welcome, Auntie. This is what I should do. After all, my charge is so high, and this kind of service is included in the price." Su Yun winked playfully.
Mother Lu thought she was joking: "How can anyone provide such good service for such a small amount of money? Don't lie to me, the incense you just brought is made of very expensive materials, right? In this case, I won't be polite to you. If you pack a little more, I will buy it directly from you, okay?"
Su Yun was stunned for a moment, but she didn't mind: "Of course, this is a sideline for our funeral home. After all, we can't maintain the daily operation of such a large funeral home just by holding funerals. But why do you buy so much?"
When she heard Su Yun's words, she knew that it was said by an unmarried and childless little girl. Mother Lu smiled softly, "Auntie won't lie to you. After giving birth, those with weaker health will still feel pain after seven days, and then they will be in a bad mood, suffer from insomnia, and have various sequelae. I want to buy that incense from you, just hoping that Ningning can have a good sleep every day during the confinement period."
"So long?" Su Yun suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"It's just a possibility. Ningning's condition is quite serious and may be related to premature birth. Women in the past were shy, so they never said anything and didn't tell their children, for fear that their daughter would no longer want to have children. I originally thought that Ningning should get married and have children, but seeing her crying out for the past few days, I feel sad." Mother Lu wiped her tears gently.
Regarding pregnancy, there are too many deceptions against women in the world. Many women find various problems after giving birth, but they don’t know that this is bound to happen. They dare not speak out for fear of being disliked or accused of being pretentious.
In fact, it’s not being pretentious, but since no one has mentioned it, naturally no one knows about it.
Su Yun frowned. She felt sorry for Lu An Ning who was inexplicably led to this road, so she said, "Lu An Ning happened to be here these few days. Auntie, if you don't mind, can I ask the two masters here to take a look at An Ning? The first master knows herbal diet therapy, and the second master knows acupuncture. I was injured before, and it was all thanks to them."
Mother Lu said happily, "I have no objection. Ningning just happens to need two masters like this. We were in such a hurry that we only had time to find a doctor from the hospital to accompany us. It would be great if you have any recommendations!"
Seeing that Lu's mother was very happy, Su Yun touched his face and said, "It's just... the two masters are men, is that okay?"
When she heard that it was a man, Lu's mother was indeed a little hesitant. According to her usual thinking, girls should see female doctors when they are sick, and men should see male doctors when they are sick, unless there is no doctor of the corresponding gender. Especially in obstetrics and gynecology, female medical staff are more convenient than male ones.
But thinking about Lu Anning's howling, Lu's mother gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, let's try it first. Anyway, we have to stay here for four or five days, and someone has to take care of Ningning's body."
Seeing that she agreed, Su Yun said, "Then I will arrange it. For us, we first see the doctor and then pay according to the medicine. Auntie, don't worry about us charging you randomly. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work, you don't have to pay."
"How can I not pay? Well, you arrange it first. If it works well, I will pay for one course of treatment." Lu's mother said with a little relaxation.
Although the Lu family cannot be compared with the Su family or the Wu family, at least it is a wealthy family in Bincheng and is not short of money.
After Su Yun said goodbye to Lu's mother, he returned to the kitchen and told the cook and the fire-making master about this matter. After listening to it, the two agreed directly - when Su Yiling and Ji Weitong were there, they were responsible for the occasional medical bills, which were considered part of the funeral home's account. They generally did not charge money because the benefits given every month were enough.
The fireman told Su Yun that Lu Anning didn't need acupuncture now. All the uncomfortable symptoms she had were actually normal and she needed to get through it on her own. All they could do was to make her feel better through indirect methods, such as diet therapy and incense fumigation.
Since the Lu family paid the money, the fire-making master went to the warehouse to prepare new incense powder and gave it to Su Yun, explaining clearly which one is for pain, which one is for sleeping, and which one is for normal use. Different incense should be burned at different times because the effects are different.
The finished product that Su Yun took just now can only relieve pain and calm the nerves. It is an over-the-counter painkiller that anyone can use. It is not specifically targeted at Lu Anning's symptoms. Now that the other party is a customer, of course he has to use a better one.
Su Yun took the new perfume powder to Lu's mother and told her clearly how to use it. If she didn't know how to use it, she could give it to the girls in the funeral home because they knew how to use it.
Lu's mother wrote down everything and prepared to do it herself. In case something really happened, she, as a mother, would be able to discover Lu Anning's abnormality more quickly.
None of Lu's family members came down to eat breakfast. Su Yun was hungry after running all morning, so he drank two bowls of porridge.
There was no time to make a clay body for the child today. Su Yun wanted to sleep as soon as she had free time in the morning. At this time, Yi Fangjin came over stealthily and handed her a note.
"Su Yun, this is the birth date and eight characters I just asked my mother. Are you free to calculate it for me now? I will give you money." Yi Fangjin asked with sparkling eyes.
"Of course I'm free. Wait for me to calculate it." Su Yun became excited when he heard this. He pretended to sit up and started to calculate with his fingers based on his birth date.
Yi Fangjin was waiting nervously nearby. She had already told her parents about this matter. They didn't quite believe that Su Yun's predictions were accurate, but Lu's parents believed it. Their family had a good relationship with the Lu family, and it wasn't a lot of money anyway, so they let Yi Fangjin give it a try. They wouldn't believe anything too outrageous.
After Su Yun got the birth data, he first calculated Yi Fangjin's parents. Both of her parents were people with a strong desire for control. Even though they loved their daughter as much as Lu's parents, their desire for control was also a big problem.
In the eyes of Yi's parents, Yi Fangjin is always a child, and is the one who needs them to make decisions. They even have to ask what Yi Fangjin eats every day. There is no child who does not shrink. They will either become perverted in silence or die in silence.
Yi Fangjin probably didn't die because she found a complementary relationship with Lu Anning. If she didn't have her best friend who she had grown up with, she would probably go crazy one day.
Rather than calculating Yi Fangjin's marriage based on her birth date, it would be better to calculate how to make Yi Fangjin learn to rebel against her parents.
After a while of speculation, Su Yun said, "You have a marriage partner in five years, but you cannot have a partner during these five years. If you have a partner, this marriage will be over. The other party is a successful gentleman who is currently abroad."
Yi Fangjin was stunned and didn't quite understand: "Why... couldn't I have a partner before I met him?"
"Because he is a gentleman. If you have a partner, your parents will definitely let you get married. How can a gentleman be with a married woman?" Su Yun said it seriously, as if he was about to say that if Yi Fangjin did not refuse her parents' arrangement now, the good marriage would be gone.
Sure enough, after hearing what Su Yun said, Yi Fangjin became anxious: "No, that won't work. How can my own marriage be ruined because of something like this? I'm going to talk to my mother about it."
Then Yi Fangjin ran away, and did not forget to give Su Yun one thousand yuan, saying that the extra five hundred was a thank you fee.
Su Yun accepted it without any guilt, and at the same time sent a message to Wu Yu saying "Done, remember to treat me to a meal", and Wu Yu immediately sent him an OK emoticon.
At noon that day, news of Yi Fangjin's breakup spread in the circle. The reason for the breakup was "this man is not my destined marriage, and he also blocked my true soulmate." No matter how many rich second-generations lost their money, at least Wu Yu made back a lot of money from this bet.
The most important thing is that when everyone saw this pair of sisters break up one after the other, they all felt that there was something strange, but they couldn't put their finger on it.
After noon, Lu Anning felt much better. After waking up, she felt less pain in her body, could eat, and felt sleepy. The doctor examined her and said that this was a good sign.
The chef cooked some tonic for her at noon, which was also good for her health after her miscarriage.
After dinner, Su Yun dozed off for a while, then remembered that he had to ask the cook to check on Lu Anning, so he asked someone to ask Lu's mother to take a look. If she agreed, he could start taking the patient's pulse and diagnosing her directly.
Yesterday, neither of the two masters came to the door to greet them, so Lu's mother didn't recognize them. In the evening, after Lu Anning made a fuss, she did go to meet them, but it was late at night, and she only remembered that they were very tall, much taller than Lu's father, who was 1.8 meters tall.
When Mother Lu saw the rather ferocious-looking chef, she was dumbfounded: "Yun, Yunyun? Is this the... nurse chef you mentioned?"
"Yes, this chef specializes in medicinal diet therapy and also serves as the chef of the funeral home. All the edibles in the funeral home are made by him." Su Yun puffed out his chest proudly.
You can find fault with other things, but there is absolutely no point in impressing the chef's skills. Even a Michelin three-star chef cannot cook as deliciously as the chef - Michelin is a Western standard and there is no authentic Chinese food, while the chef is good at both Chinese and Western food, and can make Chinese and Western pastries.
Compared to the Michelin certificate which is just a good-looking certificate, the chef’s cooking skills are highly praised by everyone once you have tasted it.
Lu's mother obviously also thought about the food they had eaten in the past few days. Both the ingredients and the taste were impeccable. It would take decades of hard work to make that taste. The old chefs who prepared state banquets have acquired the skills through decades of immersion. The chef's age could not be told. Just based on this skill, if it was not a talent, he must have been learning to stir the wok since he could walk.
With the food as a base, Lu's mother immediately dispelled her doubts: "Is that so? Then please ask the master to take a look at my Ningning. I don't know why, but she is really uncomfortable. Although it was not easy for me to give birth to her, she was not this uncomfortable."
It was not easy for Lu's mother to get pregnant with Lu Anning. The doctor said that her physical condition was not suitable for pregnancy, so the pain would be slightly greater than other pregnant women, but it was also normal. Now that Lu Anning had a miscarriage, she has been in so much pain that she hasn't slept for several days.
Lu Anning happened to be awake, so her mother took the cook to check her pulse.
The cook was tall and fierce, and almost scared Lu Anning. Fortunately, with the comfort of Yi Fangjin and Lu's mother, she quickly realized that this was a new doctor, so she stopped making trouble. The main reason was that she had no strength. Although she didn't feel any pain now, she actually felt uncomfortable all over.
The cook found a cushion to check Lu Anning's pulse, and after a while he said, "There's nothing wrong. She should have inherited her mother's constitution. There's no problem with pregnancy, but childbirth will be very painful, and she's in a very bad mood. Whether her health is good after pregnancy depends on family care. If no one takes care of her, she'll be like this."
The cook didn't know about the Lu family, but he knew from taking Lu Anning's pulse that she had been depressed for a long time. The worst thing during pregnancy is to be in a bad mood, and she had been in a bad mood for so long, it was hard for her not to be in pain.
In short, after a round of examination, the cook meant recuperation. After leaving the funeral home, he would write a recipe for the Lu family to take back, and then they could go to a place that Lu Anning was familiar with and felt comfortable to recuperate. All the problems would be solved in about three months.
Because of the cook's direct words, Lu's mother looked a little embarrassed. At that time, they only wanted to snatch the child away, thinking that this was their daughter's own child. They refused to let their daughter get married first and insisted on having the child first and in the Lu family with the surname Lu before they could get married.
Who knew that the man also had his eyes on the child, and all of a sudden no one could spare the energy to take care of Lu Anning. Her current pain is caused by the fact that no one is taking care of her. In addition, she lived with her best friend during her pregnancy. When best friends live together, it is rare for them to have a healthy diet and a normal schedule, so it would be strange if nothing happened.
While the chef was writing the recipe, Lu Anning and Yi Fangjin looked at each other emotionally, as obedient as quails.
Su Yun saw it and smiled softly without saying anything. It is not easy to have lifelong friends. This kind of little secret should be regarded as an episode in life. When they are old in the future, they can still tell each other about it and laugh about it.
Lu Anning still couldn't get up in the afternoon. She was too sleepy. She went to bed again shortly after dinner. She couldn't sleep before because of the pain, but now that she could sleep, she wished she could sleep all in one breath.
Originally, this day should have passed peacefully, but Su Yun received a call from Wu Jin in the afternoon, who told Su Yun a piece of news in a dull voice.
"Su Yun, just now, grandpa suddenly fell down at home."
"Old man? It would be terrible if he fell down at this time." Su Yun was stunned for a moment. She had guessed that the old man would not live for many days, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.
Wu Jin was very quiet: "Yes, the housekeeper sent the old man directly to the hospital. My parents are rushing over there. I returned to the old man's house. Is it convenient for you to come and see him?"
After listening, Su Yun frowned: "Do you think there is something wrong with the house?"
Wu Jin was silent for a while, as if he was considering what to say: "I didn't find anything in the house, but when I came to clean up Grandpa's study, I found the mold you drew appeared in the places he often touched."
Su Yun stood up slowly: "Are you sure? Is it a black mold that looks like a small flower?"
"I'm sure. I've asked someone to take it out and look at it countless times. There's no mistake, but there are very few of them. They're all in places that grandpa himself touched. He wouldn't let the servants touch them, so there were fewer people cleaning. Su Yun, could this be..." Wu Jin's tone was mixed with sadness and anger.
Several days passed, and the Wu family still hadn't found out who was targeting them. Not only did they send Aunt Wu away, but something happened to the old man not long after. It was hard for Wu Jin not to suspect that the other party had missed their first attack and went straight to the old man.
Su Yun frowned: "Don't move, and stay there. Give me an address and I'll go there overnight. Also, be careful. If anything goes wrong, run away immediately!"
Wu Jin responded, "Okay, I'll take care of it. If you come here from the funeral home, take the high-speed train directly. If you drive, you probably won't arrive until tomorrow morning. Then I'll have my assistant pick you up at the train station."
The two of them briefly agreed on a time and hung up the phone. Wu Jin then immediately sent an address and location. He was afraid of making a mistake, so he sent them together.
That address is a bit far away. After retiring, the old man of the Wu family left Bincheng and went to a sanatorium. He also bought a villa in the picturesque place over there. He is usually followed by a doctor and a nutritionist. Now Wu Jin is in the old man's villa. He originally went to pack up various important documents of the old man, but he found mold.
Su Yun confirmed the address, immediately bought two high-speed rail tickets, and then called together all the employees except the two masters.
"I will go to the Wu family with Lin Lang in the evening. Ayan, Xinxin, and Axiu, you and the two masters take care of the funeral home. If the uncles and aunts from the Lu family ask about it, just tell them that I temporarily accepted an order from the Jingling Sect. If they don't know what the Jingling Sect is, just tell them that it is a Taoist temple." Su Yun briefly explained what needed to be arranged.
The ghost immediately responded, "Okay, curator. Are you sure you only want to take Lin Lang? Do you want to bring Xin Xin along? It's easier to work with both men and women."
The ghost employees all thought it was a funeral bill. After what happened to Aunt Wu, they all realized that the Wu family would ask them to hold another funeral sooner or later, and the old man would not be able to hold on for much longer.
Su Yun shook his head: "This time it's the old man, so there's no need for the girls to go. You guys take good care of the guests. Call me if you have anything. I'll be back as soon as possible."
Knowing that Su Yun was not going to a dangerous place, the ghost employees generally did not stop her. They just told Lin Lang to protect Su Yun on the way, and if something happened to Su Yun, he should not come back.
Lin Lang nodded to all of them. Not saying anything was also the best assurance.
Afterwards, Su Yun and Lin Lang went back to their room, packed their things, changed out of the funeral home uniforms, and Lin Lang drove to the nearby train station.
There is no train station near the funeral home. The nearest train station is Bincheng East Station, and the funeral home is in the west of the city. The distance between them is very far. It takes at least three hours to get there by highway. What's more, the East Station is close to the city center and is prone to traffic jams.
On the way, Su Yun didn't urge Lin Lang, just to be careful. After they entered the city, they would definitely encounter the evening rush hour, and the road would be difficult to drive on. It didn't matter if they drove slowly, since Su Yun bought the ticket for the evening anyway.
When it was dinner time, the two were stuck in traffic as expected. Su Yun took out some pastries from his bag and started eating them, which tempted Lin Lang so much that he couldn't help but secretly eat some in the traffic jam, as long as he wasn't discovered by the traffic police.
After finally getting through the evening rush hour, they finally squeezed outside the East Station, but there were so many people that they couldn't find a parking space.
Lin Lang simply said to Su Yun outside: "Director, how about you go in first, I'll park the car farther away, and then get there in a fraction of an inch?"
"That's fine. Do you have your ID with you? You can get on the bus directly with it." Su Yun looked at Lin Lang with some worry. He always felt that he was like a mountain loner who would get lost if he entered the city.
"I know the curator." Lin Lang nodded at Su Yun. Without understanding the meaning of Su Yun's words, he helped open the car door.
Seeing that he seemed to really understand how to take the high-speed rail, Su Yun didn't say much and got off the train directly and went into the train station.
While in the waiting hall, Su Yun was worried that Lin Lang would get lost. Fortunately, he arrived after more than 20 minutes. Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief and asked him to sit down and wait.
Half an hour later, it was time to check tickets, and the two hurried over to line up.
During the period, the two didn't communicate much. They only breathed a sigh of relief when they sat in the car. That's how it is when riding in a car. You are always nervous, worried about missing it or sitting in the wrong car. You can only feel completely at ease when you are in the car.
The two of them were sitting side by side in a double seat, with Lin Lang sitting by the aisle. After the high-speed train started, he suddenly thought of a question: "Director, the Wu family is so far away, do we need to take the high-speed train to get there?"
"I'm not going to the Wu family. I'm going to the villa where the old man of the Wu family lives now. Wu Jin said that he found mold there and asked me to go and take a look. No matter whether it is true or not, I have to go and take a look before I can feel at ease." Su Yun answered without raising his head.
"Then you say..." Lin Lang wanted to ask her why she didn't explain it clearly, but then he remembered that if Su Yun explained it clearly, probably no employee of the funeral home would let her out, and it would cost a lot of time and effort.
If she hadn't said it at the beginning, she could have just taken everyone and left. Especially since Lin Lang felt that he was a very good fighter and bodyguard, Su Yun's safety would definitely be guaranteed. As long as he acted quickly, nothing would go wrong.
There are basically no noisy people on the high-speed train at night, unless there are naughty kids. Su Yun didn't know whether he could sleep the rest of the night. He took the time to take a nap on the train. When he arrived at the destination, he was gently awakened by Linlang.
The train has stopped and not many people got off at this station. Now everyone has left and only the two of them are left.
Fortunately, Su Yun woke up quickly. She rubbed her eyes, checked the things she had with her, and made sure that nothing was left behind before asking Lin Lang to get out of the car.
As soon as I walked out of the gate, I ran into Wu Jin's assistant, a young man who was as serious as Wu Jin. He wore a pair of thin-rimmed black-framed glasses and an iron-gray suit. He looked like a piece of cold and hard iron.
Wu Jin's assistant is called Li He. He has followed Wu Jin for a long time and is one of the people he can trust. When Wu Yu was still young, Li He even went to wipe the pigu for him.
Li He saw from afar two conspicuous bags wearing black Hanfu and black Taoist robes. They were the only two that stood out in the train station and were particularly easy to spot.
"Ms. Su, Mr. Lin, I'm Li He, the assistant of Mr. Wu Jin. I'm Muzi Li, the right one. Mr. Wu asked me to pick you up." Li He greeted, introduced himself and took out his business card like a robot.
Su Yun took the business card and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, I remember yours. You went to school to deal with a fight for Wu Yu before."
A hint of surprise flashed across Li He's eyes, and then he also remembered the past when he had to clean up all the messes for Wu Yu. He raised his hand to adjust his glasses and said, "Ms. Su has a good memory. It was Young Master Wu who caused you trouble before."
With what happened in the past, the tension between them was not so severe. After all, Wu Yu was a good target for complaints.
Li He drove very low-key today, and it can be seen that Wu Jin was quite cautious about this matter.
Su Yun had slept all the way on the high-speed train and was not sleepy now. She waited until the train was stuck and then asked Li He what had happened.
Li He may have been told, so he said directly: "Mr. Wu doesn't allow me to say it outside, for fear that there are ears on the other side of the wall. Miss Su has to ask it herself."
Since Wu Jin had specifically instructed him to do so, Su Yun did not ask any more questions and continued to sleep in the car.
The car drove for almost half the night, and Lin Lang took over halfway, worried that Li He would get into an accident if he kept driving on the mountain road. Fortunately, Li He did not refuse.
It was already three o'clock in the morning when they arrived outside the old man of the Wu family's villa. Su Yun was called out of her half-sleep. She rubbed her eyes and looked outside. They were in the brightly lit yard of the villa. Li Hegang got out of the car and knocked on the door.
Seeing that Su Yun had woken up, Lin Lang opened the car door and helped Su Yun out. Su Yun's legs must have been weak after sleeping all the way.
Soon a servant came to open the door of the villa. After entering the house, the servant whispered: "The eldest young master said that if Miss Su arrives, she can go directly to the study on the second floor. He is waiting in the study."
Hearing this, Lin Lang looked at Su Yun. He was not at ease letting Su Yun go alone. Who knew if something would happen to Wu Jin during this time?
Su Yun tidied her hair and said, "Okay, I'll go there myself. Lin Lang, you and Li He wait for me downstairs. Be careful."
"Director..." Lin Lang called out to Su Yun, but was frozen in place by Su Yun's gaze and didn't say anything else.
The servant bowed to them and then led Su Yun.
The layout of the second floor is not like that of an ordinary villa. It can be seen that it has been modified to make it as spacious and bright as possible. Perhaps the old man is old, and he considered that he would need medical equipment one day, so he changed the layout of the second floor.
Compared with the spacious layout of the second floor, the study in the corner seemed much darker and cramped. Of course, Su Yun could understand the old man's caution. The more inconspicuous the corner, the safer it was to store things.
The servant only escorted Su Yun to the door, told him where the study door was, and then left, asking Su Yun to knock on the door himself, because Wu Jin did not allow others to disturb him.
Su Yun felt that Wu Jin seemed to be particularly cautious tonight, so cautious that it was a little difficult for her to understand. What was going on to make him so cautious?
Dongdong——
"Brother Wu Jin? It's me, Su Yun." Su Yun knocked on the door twice according to her habit. She liked even and symmetrical numbers, so she even knocked on the door twice in a very polite manner.
After a while, some chaotic noises came from inside. Su Yun could not distinguish what they were at first. Just as he was about to knock on the door again, the door opened by itself. Wu Jin appeared with bloodshot eyes. He looked quite tired, and the dark circles under his eyes could not be concealed at all. He didn't look so sleepy even when he was in the funeral home before.
Su Yun looked at him in confusion: "Brother Wu Jin, why are you so sleepy? Did you not sleep all night?"
Wu Jin rubbed his Jingmingxue to wake himself up: "I haven't slept for two nights. Please come in first. It's a bit messy in there."
When Su Yun followed him into the study, he realized that it was a bit messy, as if it had been looted. All kinds of papers and file bags were scattered on the ground, and some ornaments were also scattered everywhere. It looked abnormal at first glance.
"What happened? Were we robbed?" Su Yun turned around and asked Wu Jin.
"I was checking if grandpa had anything missing, and then I found mold in the drawer that grandpa often pushed this afternoon. I became a little suspicious, and after calling you I wanted to check the entire study, and ended up messing it up." Wu Jin said helplessly and tiredly. He could imagine how long it would take to restore the study, and he wondered if he would die suddenly.
After listening to Wu Jin's words, Su Yun walked straight to the desk and opened a drawer on the right. Suddenly, a strange smell hit him. Inside were clusters of blooming black flower molds. In just one afternoon, they had covered half of the drawer.
Then Su Yun slowly closed the drawer and looked at Wu Jin calmly: "Brother Wu Jin, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Wu Jin was too sleepy, and his mind wasn't as sharp as usual: "Good news, right?"
"The good news is, you are right. This mold is the seed of resentment that Aunt Wu was infected with." Su Yun clapped his hands.
"That's good, but...what's the bad news you're talking about?"
"The bad news is that you have stayed in the study for too long. You are tired not because of staying up late, but because you have been parasitized." Su Yun answered obediently.

Su Yun: Although the news is a bit bad, the director is here! Evil spirits, retreat! O(∩_∩)O
Although plums are delicious, you can't eat too much. The plums dipped in chili salt almost made me sick. QAQ
