Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Like this, it broke apart
Brick Lin Lang helped Su Yun build a small nest in the guest room. After this arrangement, the guest room looked like someone could live in it. It had a bed, bedding, curtains, bedside tables, as well as a small table and stool for Su Yun.
There is no way to deal with hardware like air conditioning, so we can only turn down the temperature in the living room and let the air blow into the guest room just right.
Su Yun seldom comes here. When he was in college, many people said that this old district was actually a working area. Many workers lived here, and some small companies lived here too, so houses appeared one after another without stopping.
However, due to the large number of migrant workers, the rent was very high. Su Yun could not afford it at that time and could only rent the worst house in the university town.
Now that he has moved in, the first thing Su Yun thinks of is to see what's available for takeout, so that Cheng Haixiang can go downstairs to get takeout every time he meets someone.
There were indeed a lot of food nearby. Su Yun wanted to eat naan, so she bought Xinjiang fried noodles and added naan. While she was happily waiting for the takeaway to arrive, Lin Lang suddenly said, "Director, the takeaway has arrived. How do we get it?"
Su Yun certainly didn't want to run errands, but Lin Lang didn't dare to leave. For a moment, the two of them froze in place.
"You, make a paper figure and go down to get it. Use your own image, not mine." Su Yun ordered.
Lin Lang nodded obediently, and when the call for takeout came, he took out a paper man from his Qiankun bag, wrote his own name on it, and blew gently. The paper man quickly grew larger, and after landing on the ground, it grew into the appearance of Lin Lang. Both of them were stunned, and if you looked closely, there was no difference between them.
People with higher cultivation levels are much more flexible in making paper figures than those with lower cultivation levels. The paper figures don’t even need to issue any orders, they can just walk out step by step to get the takeaway.
The takeaway was a big portion, and Su Yun kindly gave half of it to Lin Lang. The two of them ate around the small coffee table. Then Su Yun went to take a nap. During this time, Lin Lang did not dare to relax for a moment and just stayed with her.
In the afternoon, Su Yun was woken up by a video call from Yan Gui, and she came to report the situation.
Su Yun sat up and rubbed his eyes: "Why are you calling me now?"
In the video, you can see that the two ghosts are in a small rental house with a concrete wall behind them. There is indeed no sign of decoration.
Yan Gui turned the phone around to show Su Yun: "Director, this seems to be a rough house. Yesterday we went to see the house with the agent, and the ground was not sunken, but you see, even the floor here is not filled."
The camera captured the entire appearance of the house. In order to install waterproofing, water pipes, electrical wires, and floor heating equipment, the unfinished house would not be filled to the same height as the corridor outside the door from the beginning. You can tell whether it has been renovated by looking at whether the ground has been filled.
It is obvious that the house where Lai Shu lives is not decorated at all. The simple decoration of the suite that Cheng Haixiang saw might be a trick.
After reading it, Su Yun couldn't help but say, "Now I'm beginning to doubt who Lai Shu is. In other words, does this person exist?"
But if Lai Shu didn't exist, wouldn't that mean... Cheng Haixiang was lying? What was his purpose in lying? What was his purpose in asking for help? It didn't seem necessary.
Unless... the person who was replaced was Cheng Haixiang himself, he would need to do a lot of useless things to prove his innocence.
These are all speculations. Even though Su Yun has a wild imagination, he still needs evidence.
The ghost didn't beat around the bush and answered directly: "I don't know, I just feel a little scared, Director."
"Me too." The ghost bride poked her head out and followed.
"What are you afraid of? Can you tell me? It's not like you can't beat a ghost, so what are you afraid of?" Su Yun was convinced. Every time something happened, the employees would talk about their fear.
The ghost frowned and said, "Director, what if this is not a rental house, but a rough house that Lai Shu found at random? Would this be considered illegal occupation of property? Will we be arrested?"
After hearing what the ghost said, the ghost bride immediately hugged the ghost's arm in fear and burst into tears: "I don't want to be arrested by the police and put in jail -"
Su Yun was also stunned for a moment: "Ah? Illegal occupation?"
This was an angle that Su Yun had never thought of, but what the sexy ghost said made sense. Since the house was an unfinished one, it was possible that it had not been sold at all. If the sexy ghost and the ghost bride could just move in, wouldn't that be thieves?
Stealing a house to live in is also a thief.
Su Yun quickly said, "Then you guys come out first, I'll ask someone about the situation first."
After saying that, she quickly hung up the phone, got up and walked to the balcony where the signal was better, and called Wu Jin. She had never thought about this problem before, and thought that as long as the pile was dealt with and all the information was integrated, the problem would definitely be solved. She didn't expect that she still had to find connections.
Wu Jin answered the phone quickly: "Hello? Yunyun?"
"Brother Wu, I have something to ask you. Do you know which company built Tianshuiyuan?" Su Yun asked straight to the point.
"Tianshuiyuan? The new community in Jiujiang District? It's the Ding family, the one that was ostracized by many people in the past. They said they were nouveau riche who made their fortune in real estate. Those kids used to call their kids Little Nails. Do you remember?" Wu Jin was afraid that Su Yun had been away from the circle for too long and had forgotten the specific name, so he specifically mentioned the nickname.
Su Yun didn't remember the person very well, but when Wu Jin mentioned the nickname, she remembered it all at once. It's true that nicknames are really hard to forget.
They are called Little Nail because their family name is Ding. They came to Bincheng wanting to contract a government project in Bincheng. However, when the project was to be demolished, there was a nail household who made a lot of trouble. The circle was not big to begin with, and the local tyrants were always xenophobic. When the adults spoke rudely, the children would follow suit and say bad things.
So the name "Little Dingzi" became popular. In fact, few children of Su Yun's generation remembered what the Ding family's child was called, but Su Yun knew it.
The eldest son of the Ding family and Su Yun's generation is called Ding Yihua. He has high emotional intelligence and is a slick man who always smiles at everyone he sees. He can smile even when so many people are ostracizing him. He has brought his emotional intelligence to the extreme. When Su Yun got into trouble, he did not add insult to injury.
How to put it, this kind of person is born to be in officialdom, he doesn't offend, doesn't please, doesn't act rashly, and doesn't retreat, he can truly be described as "smooth".
I heard that he did pursue a career in politics after graduation, and it seems that he didn't take much care of the family business.
Su Yun replied, "I remember, but didn't he pursue a career in government? How could he have built Tianshui Garden? Isn't he afraid of being sent to jail for a few years for a letter of denunciation?"
"No, I mentioned him because I was afraid that you had forgotten him. Tianshuiyuan was built by his father, and he did not intervene in the whole process to avoid suspicion. But why are you asking this? Is there a problem?" Wu Jin couldn't imagine how Su Yun could be related to such a community.
Firstly, Su Yun is not short of money, and secondly, she is not short of houses. She has no use for a house in a residential area like this, and it is too far away to be used as a dormitory for her employees.
Su Yun did not hide it and said directly: "Someone sent me a free order. My parents promised me that. I originally wanted to just do it casually. I have no motivation for unpaid work. Who knew that I found something wrong after coming here, so I want to ask who built this community. If I can get a say, I will find some connections to help me."
Wu Jin understood, and thinking about the rumors in the circle in the past few days, he said: "Is that so? I have some rumors here too. Let me ask Wu Yu to set up a game for you. He is a gossiper and must know more details. If you have any questions, you can also ask Ding Yihua. After all, he is the eldest son, and his father will definitely give him face."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Brother Wu. If you have any problems later, just tell me and I will do my best." Su Yun did not refuse and agreed directly.
"As I should. Whether it's about my aunt or my grandfather, it's all thanks to your help, Yunyun. Let's not talk about it."
The call was made in the afternoon, and before six o'clock, Wu Yu's message arrived, saying that he had already made arrangements. It was at a private barbecue restaurant nearby, which he owned. There were private rooms and barbecue skewers, and we could talk about anything if we were happy with the meal.
When people are speechless, they will laugh for no apparent reason. Su Yun's speechlessness was about to overflow: "No, have you ever seen a good person discussing business in a barbecue restaurant? You have so many restaurants under your name, can't you change to one that has good confidentiality and is suitable for business negotiations?"
Wu Yu was stunned: "But this one is the best."
"I knew you were useless. Okay, let's go to this one. I want to try how delicious it is." Su Yun's expression changed quickly.
Someone invited us to a barbecue in the evening, so Su Yun invited Yan Gui, the ghost bride and Lin Lang to come together.
Wu Yu also came up and greeted them at the door. When he saw them arrive, he immediately went to open the car door and said, "I figured you guys would be here by now. Don't worry, I've reserved the largest private room. Even if you want to eat roasted whole lamb, that's fine. Eat as much as you want!"
The ghost jumped out from beside Su Yun with a smile and bowed to Wu Yu: "Boss Wu is generous, so we won't be polite!"
Su Yun tapped Yan Gui on the head with his folding fan: "Just remember to eat, we are here to do business, Wu Yu, where are the people?"
"It's almost time. You know, people like them who work in administration have a lot of things to do. They were supposed to get off work at six, but that means they work until nine, and they don't even get overtime pay. They call it being ambitious and serving the people." Wu Yu explained as he led them in.
"So long? If we vomited, he might not come over." Su Yun said, and looked at his phone. It took them quite a long time to come over, and it was already half past seven.
Wu Yu waved his hand: "Not really. He said he would try his best to be there by eight o'clock. He should be here by the time we grill the meat."
Since everyone who organized the party said so, Su Yun had no objection. Besides, while Ding Yihua was not there, she could ask Wu Yu alone about what she knew.
The private room was indeed the largest, with a spacious terrace where there were grills everywhere. Knowing that Su Yun was here to discuss business, the chef and the waiter made preparations and left, ensuring privacy.
As soon as the door closed, Su Yun asked Wu Yu, "Your brother asked me to ask you, what are the recent rumors about the Ding family?"
When Wu Yu heard this, he put down his drink cup and clapped his hands suddenly: "You asked the right person. It's like this. I heard from my friends that recently a child didn't want to take the bus to school every day, so he bought a house in Tianshuiyuan as a dormitory. But for some reason, the child fell and injured himself less than a week after he moved there."
Just like what Cheng Haixiang said, everything was apparently normal, but there was always blood in inexplicable places, which kept people hanging in the air. Intellectually it felt like an accident, but emotionally I couldn't accept it.
Su Yun frowned: "Did he fall badly?"
"It's serious. How could it be spread if it wasn't serious? I asked someone and they said it was the head. It was cracked like this." Wu Yu said while gesturing on his own head.
According to the information we got, the child was playing in the school's sports facilities without anyone to accompany him and without any safety equipment, so he fell. It was neither a physical education class nor a break, and the child asked for leave to go to the infirmary but ended up playing instead.
When something like this happens, the school gives money to settle the matter, and the parents are too embarrassed to blame the school for their problems, because they all want to save face. However, it is inevitable that some relatives who love their children think that the feng shui of the house is bad, otherwise why would the children become naughty and skip classes after moving in?
Su Yun frowned when he heard this: "Isn't this too far-fetched? Can this be blamed on Tianshui Garden?"
Wu Yu spun the cup and smacked his lips. "Ah, it doesn't matter whether this is far-fetched or not. What's important is that people in the circle have always looked down on the Ding family. Over the years, the Ding family has also transformed from an ordinary nouveau riche into a big merchant, but few of the old money people agree with them. If they don't make mistakes normally, it's just luck. If they make mistakes, they say it's just as expected. Whether this matter is related or not, it's all the Ding family's fault."
Although these minor problems will not affect the sales of Tianshuiyuan, if they continue for a long time, sooner or later people will think that this place is evil, and the Ding family's business will inevitably be affected. Moreover, in recent years, the real estate industry has been a blatant bubble economy that will shatter at the slightest touch. Who wouldn't want to watch the fun?
Su Yun seemed to be thinking about something. Before she could ask more questions, there was a knock on the door, and then a tall and thin young man in uniform walked in. He wore rimless glasses and looked gentle and polite, with a warm smile on his face. Ding Yihua's sophisticated face had not changed in more than ten years.
Ding Yihua was about to greet Wu Yu when he entered the room, but he didn't expect to see so many people. Then he saw the familiar Su Yun: "Huh? Su Yun?"
