Chapter 65 What a coincidence, is President Teng also dying?
The next day, in the Teng family villa.
"Don't blame me, Xiao Sen. I didn't own much of that bar to begin with. I got involved back then because I was afraid you'd be curious about what a bar was when you grew up, so I made preparations in advance. Who knew the three of them wouldn't want to go there, insisting that the place was stuffy. In the end, Old Teng got the upper hand."
Mother Teng was smiling, very happy that Teng Su was at home with a little free time. While directing her son to help her move the flowers, she chatted with Qin Qinsen.
"Since Xiao Sen doesn't like that place either, I'll sell my shares as soon as possible. What does Xiao Sen like? Don't young people nowadays like to drink milk tea? Why don't we open one too?"
"Mom." Teng Su put down the tulip in his hand and turned to look in the direction of the two people. "He likes spicy crayfish."
Without showing it on his face, Qin Qinsen took advantage of the moment when Mother Teng turned around to kick the person who had spoken. "No, it's nothing. I just like to play with paper figurines and things like that. Just go to Siyun Hall more often. They have everything there."
"Put these two pots of red tea over there. Be gentle." Teng Su was spinning around in circles as his mother directed him. "Then it's settled. We'll open a milk tea shop."
Having said that, he left the two people in the garden and went back to the house to make a phone call.
"Why did you open a milk tea shop?" Qin Qinsen looked confused.
"You'll get used to it." After neatly placing the last two pots of tulips, Teng Su patted the dirt off his hands. "She bought shares in the bar without telling her family."
"Can……"
Teng Su chuckled, "It's okay. There's no such thing as a loss in the investment my mother favors. There's only the difference between making more and less money."
Is this the power of the lucky star coming to the world...
Qin Qinsen finally came back to his senses, "Now that I've finished explaining, I'll go back first. Boss Huang and the others are waiting to get the key to open the store."
That’s right, after nearly a month, Boss Huang finally remembered Siyuntang.
"Let's eat first before we go. Uncle Zhang is already washing the crayfish."
Teng's mother's voice appeared at the right time, speaking up for Teng Su to keep him.
Unable to refuse the kind invitation, Qin Qinsen opened the door of Siyun Hall while savoring the crayfish he had for lunch.
Boss Huang had been waiting for a long time with a customer at the door of his shop.
"Your face is full of smiles, good things are about to happen." Boss Huang thought he was being lenient and didn't directly say that he was in love and his face was as rosy as a peach blossom.
It was him who left the key behind, so it's no one's fault.
"We should have emptied Siyun Hall so you wouldn't have anywhere to cry." Qin Qinsen threw the key to the newcomer and noticed the appearance of the people around Boss Huang. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Dark clouds are looming over the sky, demanding your life in seven days. Old Huang, you're really brave, taking everything back with you."
"Aren't you here?"
"Master, save me!"
Boss Huang looked at the customer with disgust, crouched down, hugged Qin Qinsen's legs tightly and started crying. He unconsciously took a few steps back, fearing that he would be infected by the fool if he got too close.
"What are you doing?"
Teng Su parked the car and heard loud crying before he even entered the door. He immediately quickened his pace and came to Qin Qinsen.
Lifting the man up, Teng Su raised his brows slightly, "Fang Nanxing?"
"You know him?" Qin Qinsen was surprised.
"The Fang family's only son, Yixiangzhai is run by his father."
Qin Qinsen nodded suddenly. It was Yixiangzhai. He remembered that the boiled cabbage there was especially delicious.
Fang Nanxing wiped his nose and sobbed, "Mr. Teng, Mr. Teng, what a coincidence, are you dying too?"
The three people present all had the same thought at the same time - Yixiangzhai might be extinct.
"Children's words are harmless. Mr. Teng, don't take it to heart. If you really feel unhappy, let Xiao Qin give you a couple of hits. I guarantee that the problem will be solved." As an excellent businessman, Boss Huang does not offend anyone, but he can order Qin Qinsen around.
Fang Nanxing hiccuped, feeling uneasy, and looked at the only stranger.
"Well...I, can I still be saved?" Fang Nanxing's tone was low, and tears of help flashed in his desperate eyes.
"First, we need to explain the cause and effect before we can decide whether to save him or not."
Hearing this, Fang Nanxing's eyes gleamed with hope, and he immediately told the whole story like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
It turned out this guy had celebrated his birthday two days ago, and as the only son of the owner of Yixiangzhai, he naturally wanted to treat his classmates to a meal and some fun. Their choice was the ever-popular escape room. A new one had just opened near the south gate of University Town, and the horror room inside was rumored to be incredibly frightening, leaving many people in tears.
After handing in their phones, a dozen or so people were blindfolded and entered the chamber one by one. Initially, everything was normal: some were searching for clues, some were causing trouble, and some were deliberately trying to scare people. The chamber was bustling with activity. But this was a horror chamber after all. As the story unfolded, NPCs appeared one after another. According to the plot, one of them must be taken away by the ghost bride.
Amidst the screams and howls of the crowd, Fang Nanxing became the first to speak out.
"I've read the guide. Just follow the ghost bride and keep asking her questions until she stops answering, and you can trigger the hidden ending."
"What did you ask?" Qin Qinsen had a guess.
Fang Nanxing scratched his hair, his eyes blank, as if recalling something. "I asked her...how old is she, has she eaten yet, and what time does she get off work?"
Not only does it sound inappropriate, it also has nothing to do with the plot.
"Then I thought I should ask something related to the plot, so I asked her what her name was, how old she was when she died, and if she was scared sleeping alone in a coffin." Fang Nanxing spoke slowly, his expression very serious. "Oh, by the way, I also asked her -"
'How did you die?'
"And then! And then she, she, she flew up!"
Recalling the scene at that time, Fang Nanxing began to tremble, as if the cold hand that was grabbing his neck at that time appeared again. His breathing became rapid and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Just when he thought he was going to die from tachycardia, a pleasant male voice appeared, "Clean."
Qin Qinsen pinched a seal and waved it in front of Fang Nanxing's eyes, bringing her back to her senses. "That place is not clean. You asked questions you shouldn't have asked, and you aroused her vicious nature."
"The guide doesn't say what not to ask!" Fang Nanxing wanted to cry again. What kind of luck did he have?
The escape room was new, so the story and walkthrough weren't quite complete. The first three levels had all the necessary passwords and props, but later on, especially regarding the ghost bride, everyone who'd been there started being vague, intentionally leaving their sentences unfinished, just to make others feel the same fear they'd felt—commonly known as "bad taste."
"It's bad luck. That place has a lot of yin energy. There are indeed enough living people coming and going, but it also attracts enough filthy things. Who can watch juicy and delicious fresh meat coming in and out right in front of them without being greedy?"
"Is there hope?" The speaker was Teng Su. Such proactive and abnormal behavior attracted Qin Qinsen's attention.
"If anything happens to him, Yixiangzhai will probably be unable to continue operating."
The owner of Yixiangzhai is a well-known son-slave. If he really leaves Fang Nanxing alone, it will be difficult for Qin Qinsen to change his taste and have a light midnight snack in the future.
