The office was unusually quiet.
Mu Tiantian noticed that Huo Jixiu suddenly exuded a strong resentment.
She could even feel the vibrations in the surrounding objects caused by him.
Mu Yu noticed the teacup on the table trembling slightly. He immediately took out a red thread and used magic to transfer all the scattered black wooden prayer beads to the table. He then threaded them back together with the red thread, his movements fluid and seamless.
After finishing stringing the Buddhist prayer beads, she glanced at Yang Han.
Yang Han quickly took the bracelet and handed it to Huo Jixiu.
Huo Jixiu didn't make a move but kept watching Gu Yichen and Mu Tiantian.
Mu Tiantian was still in shock at the powerful resentment emanating from Huo Jixiu when she suddenly felt a pain in her shoulder.
She noticed that Gu Yichen's hands were trembling slightly, and he was unconsciously tightening his grip on her shoulders.
He seemed somewhat afraid, but on the surface, Gu Yichen still stood up straight and looked at Huo Jixiu with a serious expression.
Mu Tiantian sensed that something was wrong.
Seven Strategists: [I just detected a very strong resentment on him, but no evil spirits. It seems to be generated by himself, and he also seems to possess the ghostly arts he had as a living being.]
Generally, if a ghost wanders for a long time, its own magnetic energy will increase, and then it will learn ghost magic.
Especially powerful evil spirits with strong resentment will possess powerful ghost magic.
Therefore, when Huo Jixiu's spirit wandered the world, he was affected by the resentment of evil spirits and possessed ghost magic. As the resentment increased, the ghost magic became more and more powerful.
Logically speaking, his soul has already returned to his body, so how could he still use ghost magic?
Mu Tiantian noticed that Gu Yichen was gripping her hand harder and harder, and her shoulder was aching from his pinching.
The atmosphere in the office plummeted to freezing point; no one spoke.
"Excuse me, I have something to say to President Gu alone." After saying that, Mu Tiantian pulled Gu Yichen away, only holding onto his sleeve.
Mu Yu observed Huo Jixiu's reaction and found that his eyes seemed to never leave Miss Mu.
It seems there's a big problem between the three of them.
Thud—
The teacup on Mu Yu's table suddenly shattered, startling Yang Han.
Mu Yu smiled slightly and said, "President Huo, calm down and put on your Buddhist beads. These little antiques of mine can't withstand any damage."
Huo Jixiu remained motionless and ignored him. Instead, he rested his elbows on the side handles of the wheelchair, his fingers supporting his temples, and closed his eyes, seemingly dozing.
The next moment, Mu Yu sensed a very strong magnetic field emanating from Huo Jixiu, and the hands on his watch spun wildly.
Yang Han had never experienced anything like this before. "What...what's going on? How did the cup..."
"Shut up," Huo Jixiu said coldly.
The aura emanating from him was several times more oppressive than before.
This was the first time Yang Han had felt a physical fear of Huo Jixiu; his body trembled uncontrollably with fear.
Huo Jixiu focused his attention, taking in the sounds around him.
at the same time.
Mu Tiantian dragged Gu Yichen to a deserted corner at the end of the corridor.
Gu Yichen was dragged along by her the whole time, his breathing rapid, as if he had been frightened and couldn't recover for a long time.
Seeing this, Mu Tiantian used her finger to draw a talisman in the air between his eyebrows, and then slapped his forehead hard with her palm.
Gu Yichen's breathing gradually calmed down. He slowly looked up at Mu Tiantian, suddenly pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, excitedly murmuring, "Tiantian, I knew it was you. You're back."
Mu Tiantian pushed him away and said sternly in a low voice, "Gu Yichen, see clearly that I am not her!"
Gu Yichen gazed at the face that remained exactly the same even when angry; it was so beautiful that he couldn't look away.
It's clearly the same person, how could it not be her?
"But you..."
“Mr. Gu, you have already breached the contract. The contract states that there can be no physical contact. You can’t treat me as your so-called white moonlight. I have a name, I am called 'Mu Mu', not some Mu Tian Tian.”
She had hoped to use this month to gently persuade him to accept reality, but instead, she intensified his confirmation of his identity.
After a long silence, Mu Tiantian let out a sigh of relief, "Let's terminate the contract, I don't want the money."
Gu Yichen lowered his eyes, his gaze dark and unfathomable. After a long while, he raised his head, his eyes pleading. "It was my fault. I shouldn't have mistaken you for her. Tian... Mumu, don't terminate the contract. It's only for a month anyway. I won't touch you again. I won't treat you like her."
But the way he looked at her wasn't like he was looking at a stranger.
"I'm sorry, I don't think I can handle this job. You should find someone else." After thinking for a moment, Mu Tiantian finally advised, "President Gu, the person is already dead. Please accept my condolences."
She shouldn't have come along just because she was after money.
Gu Yichen had been getting close to her ever since the day he met her, but he had never expressed his feelings. At first, she didn't realize it and just treated him as a wealthy client and maintained good relations with him.
After getting to know each other better, we started calling each other friends.
He was a gentleman who knew how to take care of women, so she never thought much of it.
Even after the system issued the task, she considered asking him to help her put on an act in front of Huo Jixiu.
On the eve of her breakup with Huo Jixiu, she took one last job. Gu Yichen took her to the ghost-catching location, where she was unintentionally possessed by a ghost and revealed his true thoughts.
Mu Tiantian then realized that everything he had done in the past was to pursue her.
But he always knew about her relationship with Huo Jixiu.
To prevent him from wasting any more time and money on her, Mu Tiantian gave him a jade Guanyin as a return gift for the birthday present he had given her. "I really liked the birthday present you gave me last time. This is my return gift as a friend. I personally blessed this jade Guanyin, and I guarantee that no evil spirits will be able to possess you in the future."
Gu Yichen was initially happy to receive the gift, but upon hearing her words "as a return gift from a friend," he felt a pang of sadness and said with a smile, "My birthday hasn't come yet, there's no need to rush to return the gift."
Mu Tiantian told him, "I'll be leaving in a few days and may not be coming back, so I'm afraid I won't have a chance to give it to you on your birthday. Just keep it."
Gu Yichen asked urgently, "You're not coming back, where are you going?"
"Didn't Huo Jixiu say that he would propose to me after he regained consciousness? I want to go abroad..."
Before Mu Tiantian could finish speaking, Gu Yichen revealed the truth, "You're lying to me. You won't marry Huo Jixiu. You're going to break up with him."
Mu Tiantian looked at him in surprise, "Who told you that?"
"You... I heard you talking in your sleep. You want to break up with him." Gu Yichen smiled and offered her advice, "I can help. You can tell him you want to be with me..."
"No need," Mu Tiantian interrupted him. "Whether I break up with him or not is none of your business."
"How can it not be a problem? This way, I'll have a chance."
At that time, Mu Tiantian seriously rejected him, "No, you don't have a chance."
now.
Gu Yichen looked at the person in front of him who rejected him so decisively, just like in the past, and suddenly smiled, "You really are, whether in the past or now, you are always so hurtful, and your rejections are always so ruthless."
"Mr. Gu, I didn't..."
“It’s okay if you don’t want to admit it. We can terminate the contract. How about a few days later? I’m very busy these days. The situation in the villa area isn’t very good. Or you can come to my villa area to catch ghosts if you want. I’ll give you as much as you want. Anyway, you know the situation in my villa area.”
“I can wait until you’re done with your work before terminating the contract. I can’t make money off you, but I’ll help you negotiate a lower price so you can hire Mu Yu at the best possible rate.” With that, Mu Tiantian walked towards Mu Yu’s office.
Gu Yichen stood there for a while, his eyes lowered and he remained silent.
He waited so long for her to break up with Huo Jixiu, and he waited so long for her to reappear.
No chance?
Then he creates opportunities.
He'll snatch away anyone he sets his sights on, even if it means fighting for them.
...
Inside the office.
Huo Jixiu opened his eyes, his azure pupils gleaming with a sharp light.
