When Cen Yu left the elevator, he saw Shen Wei looking dejected—the other man's hair had been dyed black again, which explained why he hadn't noticed him when he was in the elevator.
After leaving the elevator, Meng Yunqiu immediately took her laptop to the conference room and patted Cen Yu on the shoulder, asking him to take care of Shen Wei, who was there for an internship.
"Let's go," Cen Yu said.
Shen Wei felt a little relieved after seeing Cen Yu. "...Luckily, I had someone I knew. I was scared to death."
"?" Cen Yu glanced at him. "You're socially anxious?"
"Were those two things in the elevator taken care of too?" Cen Yu recalled what he had seen when he looked up.
Shen Wei nodded indifferently and followed Cen Yu into the company... He was immediately dragged away along with several other interns, and Cen Yu didn't get a chance to help.
When Cen Yu arrived at his seat, he saw that all his colleagues looked pale and sickly. They greeted him listlessly.
On Monday morning, all the direct supervisors were in meetings, making it the perfect time to slack off... Cen Yu turned on her computer and found the small group chat was very lively.
[The miserable working class, gather like oxen and horses! (12)]
This group has one thing in common: it's deathly quiet on weekends, and everyone becomes a stranger after get off work.
You can easily refresh 999 messages without noticing while at work.
Cen Yu looked closely and noticed a photo of Wen Jingyao in the group chat—
[Reliable sources confirm this is the master our building hired!]
[…No, I'm genuinely curious, couldn't this building hire some professionals? We're not a modeling agency, are we?!]
[What do you know (rolls eyes)? Master Wen can't be hired for less than a six-figure sum... If this whole thing wasn't so bizarre, I doubt the building would have even bothered to hire him. Reliable sources say he'll be coming again today to do some final touches.]
Cen Yu propped his head up and looked at the screen, guessing that Wen Jingyao's cleanup work probably included getting rid of those little evil spirits in the building as well.
By the way, did you guys watch the live stream?
[It seems they really did find skeletal remains at the bottom of the well...]
Cen Yu clicked on the link in the group and saw that familiar well. Although the video was pixelated, it was clear that they had indeed found something at the bottom of the well.
The live stream chat exploded.
Those who initially doubted the master's abilities were proven wrong, and the streamer was so frightened that he immediately called the police.
Perhaps feeling that the remaining footage was unsuitable for live streaming, the streamer cut off the live stream signal at that moment.
What happened next was a matter of course; Bian Tao's identity was no secret.
People quickly connected him with the person who jumped from the Lide Building, and more information was revealed...
When Shen Wei finally finished his new employee training and was about to find Cen Yu, he found that Cen Yu was not in his seat.
"Brother Cen?" Shen Wei asked Cen Yu's colleague.
His colleague remembered that he was a new intern who had just started today. "Do you know Cen Yu?" he asked casually, then said, "He went to smoke. You can find him at the smoking area."
When Shen Wei found Cen Yu, he discovered him standing at the designated smoking area outside the park.
Meng Yunqiu was also beside him, and the two seemed to be talking about something... Cen Yu looked down at his phone, talking to Meng Yunqiu casually. Hearing footsteps, he looked up at Chen Wei—
"What a coincidence?"
Shen Wei wasn't familiar with Meng Yunqiu, and he was still a little nervous when facing his direct superior who was interviewing him.
“…I heard you were here, so I came to look for you.” Shen Wei knew he shouldn’t say that in front of his direct superior.
But who cares? He's here for an internship anyway, Shen Wei thought.
So he simply walked over to Cen Yu and asked, "Brother Cen, what are you having for lunch?"
"How about ordering takeout?" Cen Yu said uncertainly, glancing at Meng Yunqiu. "How's the food in the cafeteria today?"
"It's a long story." Meng Yunqiu was wearing a suit. He had a formal meeting today and couldn't relax even if he wanted to... He glanced at Shen Wei and said, "Group A is a bit busy today." He meant that Shen Wei should go back as soon as possible if he didn't have anything else to do.
"I just asked, and they said there's nothing I need to do right now." Shen Wei pretended not to understand Meng Yunqiu's hint, then looked at Cen Yu, "Brother Cen, if you don't know what to eat, how about I recommend something?"
"There's a nice restaurant around here."
“My brother told me.”
"When did I tell you that? I didn't know that." Wen Jingyao's voice came from behind Shen Wei.
He had just finished "cleaning" the entire building and was about to leave when he saw his mentally challenged younger brother and Cen Yu. He glanced at Cen Yu and noticed that the other looked quite well. "Looks like you haven't been having nightmares lately."
“They’ve been quiet these past few days.” Cen Yu was referring to Pei Leyun and the other two, probably because they were worried that Cen Yu would really be angry; they hadn’t appeared in his dreams recently.
Wen Jingyao nodded, then took out a small figure the size of a palm from his pocket.
It was Bian Tao who disappeared in the villa that day.
“I just found this in the building,” he said, grabbing Bian Tao by the collar. “Looks like it’s for you.”
The moment Bian Tao saw Meng Yunqiu, his pupils dilated in shock... He struggled to leave, but he really wanted to say something to Cen Yu, so he hesitated and floated onto Cen Yu's shoulder.
"I misunderstood that matter," Bian Tao said softly.
He was referring to the incident where he mistakenly believed Cen Yu was a bad person and killed Pei Leyun.
Perhaps because all of the scumbag's deeds had been exposed, Bian Tao's resentment had lessened considerably... He leaned on Cen Yu's shoulder, 'I came to the building to find you... to apologize.'
Cen Yu reached out and grabbed Bian Tao.
He grabbed the other man by the collar and looked at him, "No need."
"I wasn't a good person to begin with."
He casually stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray beside him. "Next life."
He thought for a moment, "Don't believe men's sweet talk anymore."
Bian Tao, who had been somewhat apprehensive, chuckled upon hearing this. "Including you?"
“Me too,” Cen Yu said earnestly, holding Bian Tao in her arms.
Bian Tao looked at Cen Yu, 'Cen Yu, you're actually a good person.'
Cen Yu: "?" What's with this "friend zone" card?
He was about to say a few more words when he noticed Bian Tao's small body slowly dissipating in his hand... Just like fairies in fairy tales, once humans no longer believe in the existence of fairy tales, they will completely disappear.
Cen Yu watched Bian Tao dissipate and subconsciously clenched his fist, but the other's body still turned into wisps of smoke and finally disappeared.
Perhaps not expecting Bian Tao to dissipate so quickly, Shen Wei was still somewhat taken aback... He glanced at his brother, only to hear Wen Jingyao say, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary—
"His wish has been fulfilled, and his remains at the bottom of the well have been discovered."
"...They've probably been reincarnated."
“So there’s nothing to be sad about,” Wen Jingyao said. “Wanting too much, wanting to keep too much, will only lead to insatiable greed and turn you into an evil force that wreaks havoc on the world.”
"It's a good outcome that he can go to be reincarnated in peace."
