That’s right, this female ghost in black is Huo Yan. Damn, I was scared to death.
When she was about to rush to me, I hurriedly shouted: "Wait, wait... Sister Huo, we can talk it over!" In fact, when I said this, I was still scared. If Huo Yan ignored me and rushed up to strangle me cleanly and neatly, and I couldn't move, then I would be doomed, right?
But the reality was beyond my expectation. Huo Yan suddenly stopped in front of me, her dark green eyes revealing a hint of surprise. She said, "It's been a few days since we last met. Your cultivation has improved again. Not only can you enter the underworld, but you can also communicate with me?"
I smiled modestly: "No, no... Actually, I have been studying and practicing hard during this period just to come to you."
"Looking for me?" Huo Yan's body floated in the air, looking down at me and saying, "You are human, I am a ghost, yin and yang have nothing to do with each other, what do you want from me? - Could it be that you came here specifically to seek revenge on me because I killed several of your colleagues? Hehehehe... That would be great, I was planning to kill you too."
Halfway through her words, her eyes suddenly became extremely strange, deep and empty, and a hint of murderous intent gradually emerged on her pale face.
I was so scared that I swallowed my saliva. Damn it, I was in psychic mode right now and couldn't move my body at all. How could I possibly fight Huo Yan? Seeing that she was about to rush over to kill me again, I just threw myself out and blurted out, "Huo Yan! I know who that person is!"
Huo Yan's body, which was about to rush forward, suddenly stopped. Her dark green pupils stared at me intently, and she frowned and asked me, "Do you know who it is?"
I thought to myself, damn, this topic is indeed the most effective for Huo Yan. I quickly thought of my words and said, "Yes, I know who you hate. It's that person who made you look like this!"
"Who is it? Tell me quickly!" Huo Yan became a little excited.
I said, "Of course I can tell you, but as a deal, you have to tell me one thing."
Huo Yan sneered, "Making a deal with a ghost, and the target is me. Do you think you are qualified to negotiate a deal with me? Believe it or not, I will kill you!"
I remained calm and said, "Huo Yan, I'm warning you. If I can enter the underworld to negotiate a deal with you, I'm naturally capable of leaving. Killing me won't be that easy. However, if you miss this deal, you'll probably never know who harmed you. You should weigh the pros and cons yourself."
After I said this, Huo Yan's arrogance suddenly faded a lot. She frowned, as if hesitating about something. After a long while, she finally said, "What do you want to know?"
I was delighted. It seemed Huo Yan had taken the bait, so I hurriedly asked, "What's the plan of Luo Yujia, the chairman's daughter? I have a feeling there's some connection between you two. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been targeted by Luo Yujia just because I stopped you from killing someone, and I wouldn't have been fired from the company."
Huo Yan asked doubtfully, "Luo Yujia? The daughter of Luo Qingguo, the chairman of the Luo Group?"
I said "hmm". Huo Yan thought for a moment and said, "I'm her stepmother."
I:"……"
I was stunned, looking at her in disbelief. What the hell, stepmother? This world is really messy.
Huo Yan continued, "That was five years ago. I lost my husband early in life, and to support myself and my son who was in college, I joined this express delivery company. Chairman Luo Qingguo shared a similar fate, having lost his wife young and having only one daughter, Luo Yujia. Our romance wasn't accidental. I was the chef in the company cafeteria, and both employees and managers loved my cooking, including Luo Qingguo. He'd come to me alone every afternoon and ask me to make him some snacks. As we interacted more and more, we fell in love. Soon, our relationship was exposed within the company. We even arranged for our son and daughter to meet, and our family of four lived in harmony. But this blissful time didn't last long. One day, I don't know what happened, but my appetite suddenly changed. I lost my appetite for delicious food, and instead, I had a strong craving for human feces... I'm sure you know what happened next, and I don't want to dwell on such disgusting memories."
"Then the question is..." I asked curiously, "Have you ever thought about why your appetite changed?"
Huo Yan said, "I have thought about it, but I will never know why I became like this. Even now, I still haven't figured it out. I will die with my eyes open!"
At this time, Su Xiaoniu said to me: "I think he has been bewitched and possessed by evil spirits."
I think so too. Apart from this possibility, I really don't know how else to explain it. Huo Yan came back to her senses, glared at me, and asked me, "I've already told you what you want to know. You still haven't told me who the person who hurt me is?"
But I said, "Wait, you haven't told me what Luo Yujia's plan is? I was fired from the company because of Luo Yujia. Has she been in contact with you recently?"
"How would I know what she's planning? I haven't contacted her in a long time!" Huo Yan rolled her eyes in confusion, pointed at me and said, "If you don't tell me who hurt me, I'll kill you right now!"
I was stunned. Huo Yan didn't know about Luo Yujia's plan? She even said we hadn't been in touch for a while. Then why did Luo Yujia target me just because I stopped Huo Yan from killing someone? Before I could even begin to comprehend the situation, Huo Yan charged at me, her fangs bared. I quickly gave a dry laugh. "Sister Huo, don't be impulsive. Can you tell me where your son is? I'll go find him. Maybe I can solve this mystery and help you find the murderer."
Huo Yan got even angrier when she heard this: "So you didn't know who was the one who hurt me from the beginning?"
