Chapter 1113: Intimidation
"Oh, never mind."
Nie Xiu continued to tease her, "So realistic? You just give up when you hear there's a price to pay?"
"Do you want to help for nothing?"
Tu Ran replied calmly, "That's not the case. I just feel that... Mr. Nie's price is something I can't afford. I still know my own limitations."
"Okay, tell me, what's the matter?"
Seeing this attitude, he knew that Nie Xiu was just joking.
After a moment of silence, Tu Ran spoke, "When the grandmother of the Xie family passed away, Miss Shen brought a Taoist priest to calm the situation. I think that person is quite powerful."
"So?" Nie Xiu glanced at Tu Ran.
"I would like to ask that Taoist priest, or another Taoist priest, to come to Xiangcheng to handle some matters."
"What's the matter?" Nie Xiu asked casually.
"A lot of babies have been missing from Xiangcheng recently, and their behavior is very strange."
"The police department has no clues."
"That's because they are stupid." Nie Xiu immediately mocked.
"I don't think it's their fault. I think it might be a supernatural force. The police are just mortals and they can't handle it."
Nie Xiu continued, "These are naturally handled by the Public Opinion Bureau. It's not your turn as a commoner."
"I know, but I'm afraid if it goes on like this, more and more families will be harmed."
"Wait until the people from the Public Opinion Bureau arrive. It's uncertain when that will be."
"And the leaders of Xiangcheng are currently unwilling to apply."
"Maybe they're afraid that their superiors will think it's shameful that they can't even solve such a small case."
"So, what is your identity and why are you doing this?" Nie Xiu asked Tu Ran.
"I was commissioned by a friend."
"My friend is the son of an official, he has no worries about food and clothing, and it's not his child who is missing. He could have just sat back and watched, but he can empathize with the people. I think he is a good police officer, so I want to help him."
Tu Ran answered truthfully, and Nie Xiu was silent for a long time after hearing it.
"If it's inconvenient for Mr. Nie, that's fine."
"I'm looking for someone else."
"I won't help you for free. I have to pay you. I know that the Dharma is not easily passed on and the Tao is not sold cheaply. Those Taoist masters are all truly capable, so naturally there is no reason for them to help you for free."
"My friend will give you the money, you don't have to worry about it."
Nie Xiu finally couldn't resist Tu Ran.
According to his previous personality, he would not care about these things. In his opinion, these had nothing to do with him.
Not interfering in cause and effect is his principle in dealing with things.
But Tu Ran rarely asks for help, he is very sensible.
He liked the way Tu Ran looked like he owed him a favor.
He likes not to make things too clear with him.
"No need for money, I'll arrange it."
"Thank you, Mr. Nie." Tu Ran's eyes lit up.
"Thank you and make me something delicious."
"No problem, what do you want to eat?" Tu Ran kept calling him "you", but Boss Nie frowned slightly.
He didn't like Tu Ran's respect for him, it was too distant.
"It's all right. Whatever you want."
Nie Xiu said it casually, and Tu Ran was busy for a full three hours.
At dinner time, Nie Xiu went straight to Muyunzhai to eat.
Xiaojie also ate in the cafeteria with Wei Ming and the others.
Six dishes and one soup, full of sincerity.
"It took a while today. You must be hungry."
"It's mainly this pepper chicken, which takes a long time to become flavorful."
"Try it now, how does it taste?"
After saying that, Tu Ran used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of pepper and sesame chicken for Nie Xiu.
Nie Xiu finished eating calmly.
"It's okay." The boss said one thing and meant another.
He said it was okay, but it tasted good.
He said it was not tasty, just average.
He said that food fed to dogs is the most unpalatable.
Tu Ran smiled and felt much more relaxed. Favors owed to others must be repaid, only then will one feel comfortable.
After dinner, before leaving, Nie Xiu sat in the car and glanced at Tu Ran.
"I've already arranged it."
"They'll be here tonight."
"Things will be settled tonight."
"So fast?" Tu Ran was surprised.
"What else?"
"Aren't you worried about the number of victims continuing to increase?"
"Yes, that's right, Mr. Nie, thank you on behalf of the victims." Tu Ran bowed deeply.
Nie Xiu slammed the car door shut without any hesitation.
"Stop bullying the people for thanking the leaders."
"I don't like it."
Tu Ran was stunned, but the car had already gone far away.
In fact, she knew that Boss Nie was a good person, but he had a strange personality and couldn't say nice things.
What Nie Xiu promised must be foolproof.
Afterwards, Tu Ran called Bai Yi and gave him a brief explanation.
But she didn't dare mention the channels for seeking assistance, nor did she want to reveal too much about Chen Yuan.
Bai Yi understood it tacitly and did not ask any further questions.
"I'll transfer the money to you when the time comes," Bai Yi said.
"We haven't talked about money yet. Let's talk about it after we're done."
"Well, I'll have my brothers be careful tonight and try not to disturb ordinary people."
"You shouldn't be able to see him."
"Leave professional matters to professionals." Tu Ran said.
"Okay, thanks."
After hanging up the phone, Bai Yi felt relieved.
I even wondered if those lost babies would be found.
But it is actually very difficult. These children are all under one year old. Without their mothers and without milk powder or breast milk, it is estimated that they will hardly survive for more than 24 hours.
Eleven o'clock that night.
Think of it as a hotel.
Guo Wan is still living here for the time being. She plans to rent a house nearby after joining the Guo Group.
She had just finished her shower and was getting ready for bed.
I felt something moving behind the curtains.
"who?"
"Who?"
She stared warily at the heavy gray curtains.
There was no response. After about ten seconds...
There was a giggle from behind the curtain.
From the laughter, I could tell it was a child, but I couldn't tell whether it was a boy or girl because they were too young to tell.
"Playing tricks."
Guo Wan couldn't bear it any longer. She tightened the belt of her bathrobe and walked towards the curtains.
I suddenly lifted the curtains, but there was nothing there.
The lights in the hotel were a little dim, but it was still clear to see that there was no one there.
Even the balcony outside the window was empty.
At this moment, the voice came from behind again...
Guo Wan turned around suddenly and saw that a child had appeared on the large bed.
A little boy, wearing something similar to a funeral shroud, black in color, somewhat resembling a Tang suit.
In fact, this child is not ugly, but you can tell at first glance that he is not human.
There was also a faint black mist rising from his head.
"Where did this little devil come from?"
"Want to scare me? Haha." Guo Wan strode over.
He grabbed the kid's head.
The little devil suddenly jumped up and opened his mouth wide.
His eyes were bulging out and bleeding continuously.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have been scared to death...
But Guo Wan was calm.
And with his other hand, he tightly gripped the kid's throat.
The little ghost let out a shrill cry...
This cry has a certain meaning. Ordinary people will feel a headache and dizziness when they hear it.
After all, this is the legendary ghost cry.
But Guo Wan didn't give in and took out a red ribbon from somewhere.
Just strangle the kid's neck tightly.
Until the little devil couldn't make any sound...
At this time, Guo Wan did not notice that an identical child had appeared behind her without her knowing when.
However, this little ghost had no whites in his eyes, only black pupils, and he floated strangely in the air.
And slowly approached the back of Guo Wan's neck...
