Lao Gui quickly turned to Lao Zhang.
"Ask him where he is now."
Lao Zhang had no choice but to change his words and act as Lao Gui's messenger.
"Mr. Chen, excuse me, where do you live?"
Chen Qi felt even more strange after hearing this.
He asked where he lived.
"What do you want to do? Are you trying to settle a score with me so late at night?"
Chen Qi also suspected that Lao Zhang was getting angrier and angrier because of the ghost knocking on the door in the middle of the night, and was therefore dissatisfied with him and wanted to cause trouble for him in the middle of the night.
Lao Zhang himself did not deny it immediately, but was vague.
"It's not me, it's an old senior who wants to ask you something..."
Chen Qi didn't believe it and interrupted Lao Zhang in a hurry.
"Alright, what senior would come to me late at night to ask questions? Let's talk about it tomorrow. How about this, I'll come to you tomorrow!"
After saying that, Chen Qi hung up the phone.
After the phone call ended, Lao Zhang looked at Lao Gui helplessly.
Although he had already made it clear that this shop belonged to Chen Qi himself.
It is not yet clear whether he built the shop or inherited it.
But the old man is too lazy to figure this out.
He will go after whoever owns the shop!
He just couldn't believe that as the owner of the shop, he wouldn't know who built the shop, and how his door became a shop. He had to find out!
The next day, Chen Qi came to Lao Zhang's store as promised.
Lao Gui also hid in Lao Zhang's shop in advance, secretly observing Chen Qi.
Upon seeing this, he found that Chen Qi's aura was somewhat familiar.
It looked a bit like someone he remembered.
As soon as Chen Qi entered the store, Lao Zhang and his wife quickly closed the door and the room became dark in an instant.
When Chen Qi saw this situation, he was stunned.
"You, what are you doing? Let me out now! I'm telling you, this is a society ruled by law. If you dare to say anything to me, you will definitely not escape legal sanctions!"
When Lao Zhang saw Chen Qi's reaction, he knew that he had misunderstood and quickly waved his hands to explain.
"Mr. Chen, you misunderstood. We didn't intend to do anything to you. It's just that the old senior is not very public, so this is the only way he can show himself..."
As he spoke, Lao Zhang came forward and kindly handed Chen Qi a talisman.
"You take it first."
Chen Qi just took the talisman paper that Lao Zhang handed over to him in a daze.
After taking a look, he was about to ask Lao Zhang what this thing was.
Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly heard an old male voice coming from behind me.
"Boy, what is your relationship with Chen San?"
The sudden sound scared Chen Qi so much that he screamed.
When he turned around again, he saw an elderly man with white hair standing behind him.
The loud screams rang out again.
"ah!"
The old ghost yelled at him in annoyance.
"What are you yelling for? I'm asking you a question. Who is Chen San to you?"
Knowing that this was the owner of the shop, Lao Gui had no temper with him.
Especially at this moment, he found that Chen Qi's appearance and aura were somewhat similar to those of an old friend. Suddenly, some unpleasant speculations arose in his mind, and he had no patience with Chen Qi at all.
Chen Qi was so frightened by the sudden appearance of the old ghost that he became paralyzed and kept hiding behind Lao Zhang.
But Lao Zhang told him not to be afraid and just to answer Lao Gui's questions honestly.
Chen Qixin said that this was the first time he had seen a ghost in his decades of life, so how could he not be scared.
He also knew that Lao Zhang was probably on the side of the ghost and would not be able to help him, so he could only suppress his fear and speak tremblingly.
"Chen, Chen San is my grandfather, you, who are you..."
It turns out that he is really a descendant of Chen San.
Realizing this, the old ghost's face became even colder.
"Then who built this shop? Was it Chen San, your father, or you?"
Because he was afraid of the old ghost, Chen Qi didn't dare to lie and could only answer honestly.
"Yes, I fixed it. What's wrong? Are you okay?"
When Lao Gui heard this, he felt inexplicably relieved, but the next second, he looked at Chen Qi with a look full of disappointment and disgust.
"I never thought Chen San would have a descendant like you! You built this shop secretly, didn't you?"
Hearing this, Chen Qi widened his eyes in surprise and nodded subconsciously.
"You, how do you know!"
The old ghost snorted coldly.
"I know a lot more. When your grandfather worked under me, you weren't even born yet!"
As he said this, the old ghost couldn't help but sigh.
"Tell me, what's going on with this shop? If you dare to lie, haha..."
This ambiguous "hehe" was more effective than any threat. Chen Qi dared not hide anything and could only explain everything about the store in detail.
As Lao Gui said, Chen Qi's grandfather Chen San had been working under Lao Gui before Chen Qi was born.
His position was nothing else but the housekeeper of the old ghost's family.
After the old man passed away, his descendants moved overseas due to political and family reasons.
After all, this was their main house, so when they left, they handed over the care and maintenance of the old house, and even the collection of rent, to the old housekeeper at the time, Chen San.
The old housekeeper Chen San has worked diligently in their family for decades, and Lao Gui's descendants have great trust in him.
Chen San also patted his chest and swore to them that he would take care of the old house for his boss.
In the following years, Chen San always kept his promise and handled the affairs of the old house in an orderly manner. He also regularly remitted the rent of other houses to his overseas owners.
After a few years, Lao Gui's descendants have established themselves overseas and developed their own careers. They are no longer as concerned about the affairs of the old house as before.
As for the rent, it is even more dispensable to them.
After all, the old house is where their ancestors have lived for generations, and the feelings they have for it are still different.
So they finally called Chen San again and told him that the rent collected would be regarded as an extra reward for the old housekeeper, but they had only one request: Chen San must help them look after the old house.
If there is any damage or problem with the house, I hope Chen San will repair it as soon as possible.
Chen San was grateful for his boss's trust, and he would inspect the old house several times every day afterwards, and regarded protecting the old house as his most important task.
Not only that, he also asked his children and grandchildren to help keep an eye on it.
When Chen San was about to die, he passed the responsibility to his descendants and also informed the descendants of his boss who lived overseas.
Because Chen San has been taking care of the old house for decades, and there has never been any problem.
Therefore, Lao Gui's descendants trust Chen San and are full of confidence in his descendants.
