Ghost Rider Black Cat?
"Didn't you see that the cat's eyes rolled back?"
I looked closely, and it really was.
The black cat looked like it was lazily leaning against the car wheel sleeping, but upon closer inspection, you could see that its body was trembling slightly, as if it were being gripped by an invisible force, shaking incessantly.
Its eyeballs rolled upwards, the whites of its eyes filled the entire eye socket, leaving only a sliver of black pupil in the corner. It looked like it was about to die, and it was making weak and eerie moans from time to time.
Luo Tianhe's eyes widened in disbelief: "Folklore says that black cats and phoenix-feathered roosters are wards off evil spirits, and that evil creatures would avoid black cats. How could a ghost ride on one?"
Jin Ye's expression was extremely solemn as he counted on his fingers: "Let's go back and prepare some things before we come back. This house is too eerie; if we go in now, we might not be able to come out again."
I hesitated.
If everything before was just speculation, now it's 90% certain that Bai Su's body is hidden here.
Otherwise, the scene of the Yin-Yang order being in chaos would never have occurred here.
"Let's go, don't alert them!"
Jin patted me on the shoulder.
I took a deep look at the black cat, then turned the car around and drove away.
As I was about to leave through the gate, I glanced in the rearview mirror and vaguely saw a black shadow riding on the back of the black cat.
...
When we got back to the Rebirth Pavilion, it was already past nine o'clock at night.
Jin told everyone to sit wherever they wanted and then went out to prepare some things.
I went to check on Su Mingyang in his room and found him still asleep, but he looked much better than before I left.
I just don't know if he'll be able to accept it when he wakes up and finds out he's lost an eye.
Luo Tianhe lit a cigarette and comforted him, "Don't think too much about it. If things don't go well tonight, you'll only have about thirty hours to live. After that, you'll just turn to ashes."
Is this how you comfort someone? It's better not to offer any comfort at all!
Just then, Luo Tianhe's phone suddenly rang.
After exchanging only a couple of sentences, he looked at me excitedly and said, "I have news about Fourth Brother, whom you asked me to look into before. The information will be sent to you in a bit."
Two minutes later, Luo Tianhe received an email on his phone.
Upon opening the email, a photo of a middle-aged man came into view.
Wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, he looked refined and scholarly, like a schoolteacher.
"Isn't this the former richest man?" I asked.
Luo Tianhe pointed to the text below and said, "It is indeed the richest man in the country. He is the fourth child in his family, with two older brothers and an older sister."
The document records the history of how the former richest man made his fortune and the relationships between his family members.
You wouldn't guess that he used to be a Chinese language teacher in the village.
Because I didn't have a teacher's certificate, I was dismissed and then sold cabbages at the vegetable market for several years. Later, I worked on a construction site for several years, carrying bricks and helping to repair asphalt roads.
In those days, even working yourself to the bone for a day only earned you about ten yuan.
Because he was educated, loyal, and quick-witted, he gradually gathered a group of people and started contracting small construction projects.
Those who worked for him all called him Fourth Brother.
However, after he became wealthy, no one called him Fourth Brother anymore.
I reckon Shen Man's father must have been one of the people who worked on construction projects with Zeng, the richest man in China; otherwise, he would never have called him Fourth Brother.
According to the information, after becoming the richest man in China, he was extremely generous to his fellow villagers and wholeheartedly gave back to his hometown.
He invested heavily in construction and spared no effort in improving the appearance of his hometown.
They not only donated funds to build modern schools in the village, but also funded the construction of flat and wide roads and medical stations.
To make the villagers' living conditions more comfortable, he personally funded the construction of brand-new villas throughout the village, created a leisure square, and added various fitness equipment to enrich the villagers' daily entertainment life.
They even built a golf course and a riding stable.
Many of the company's employees are from his hometown.
To commemorate the kindness of Zeng, the richest man in the village, the villagers spontaneously erected a statue of him in the very center of the village.
The more I looked, the more confused I became.
According to the records, Zeng, the richest man, was a great philanthropist, comparable to Director Qi and Uncle Meigen.
But why was he so bad to his wife and even caused his daughter's death?
Could it be that, as Jinye and I suspected, the former richest man is trapped in a quagmire of cash flow problems and cannot extricate himself?
In his quest for immense wealth in a short period, he recklessly murdered his own daughter, hoping to change his luck by raising a ghost.
Hoping to use this power to bring back the funds that have been flowing away like water, to fill the gaps in his battered business empire, to help him get out of his current predicament, and to return to the pinnacle of the business world.
I asked Luo Tianhe, "This information can't be wrong, right?"
Luo Tianhe patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry at all! Even if your genetic testing shows that you have female chromosomes but have a male appearance, this information will absolutely not be wrong!"
As he spoke, he suddenly pointed to the kinship section and exclaimed in surprise.
"This former richest man is really pitiful. Apart from his sister who is still alive, his two brothers and nephew all died ten years ago."
They all died ten years ago?
I remember Xiao He saying something to me in the private room.
She said that the former richest man had been very good to her aunt, but his personality changed drastically after he hired that feng shui master many years ago, which led to the tragedy.
I wonder if that feng shui master knew Zeng, the richest man, ten years ago.
If that's the case, then that's terrifying.
This means that Bai Su was not the first to be brutally murdered.
