Hollin suddenly felt as if his calf had been hit by a cannonball, and he cried out in pain, jumping up.
"You brat, do you want to die?!" Hollin's true nature was revealed, and he started cursing.
Qiqi looked frightened and shrank into Old Madam Huo's arms, "Grandma, this uncle is so scary!"
"Huo Lin, what are you doing!" Old Madam Huo immediately raised her eyebrows. "Qiqi is so young, how hard could she kick you? Are you yelling at me because you have a problem with me?!"
"Grandma, you've misunderstood. That's not what I meant." Huo Lin's calf was throbbing with pain, but faced with Grandma Huo's anger, he had to suppress his temper and explain, "I'm sorry, little girl, Uncle was a bit loud just now. I didn't mean to scare you."
This brat, I wonder who he is, that the old lady is protecting him so much.
Forget it, I'll let it go for now and deal with her later.
I don't know what it ate to grow so strong.
Huo Lin bent down and rubbed his calves. While he wasn't paying attention, Qi Qi moved her fingers and silently placed a talisman on his shoulder.
As Hollin rubbed his legs, he suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder, and a damp, cold chill enveloped him.
He frowned, straightened up, and touched his shoulder.
His fingers touched something sticky and cold, which made him shiver and he quickly pulled his hand back.
What's going on?
Hollin was puzzled and turned to look at his shoulder, but saw nothing.
He turned around in confusion and looked at Qiqi.
Qiqi snorted coldly, and quietly withdrew the spell from behind her back. The female ghost that she had just hidden revealed her pale face, lay on Huo Lin's shoulder, and licked Huo Lin's face with her scarlet tongue.
"You thief, I don't need your apology!"
Upon hearing this, Hollin trembled violently and stared at her in disbelief.
"Whether I'm lying or not, you know perfectly well!" Qiqi said angrily.
Making money is not easy. At such a young age, she already knows that she has to rely on her own skills to draw talismans and catch ghosts to earn money and merit.
He's so old, yet he tries to get something for nothing!
That's utterly shameless!
"Young lady, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want." Huo Lin narrowed his eyes unhappily. "I haven't offended you, have I? Why are you slandering me like this? Did someone say something to you, or did someone teach you to say such things?"
A three-year-old girl shouldn't be able to say such things.
Huo Lin glanced at Old Madam Huo out of the corner of his eye, the meaning of which was quite clear.
Although he didn't know what the master meant, he suspected that these were things that Old Madam Huo had taught her to say.
"Don't look at my grandma, look at me!" Qiqi said angrily, hands on her hips. "You thief, you're in big trouble! The things you've hidden in your room will get you into big trouble, hmph!"
Hollin's heart skipped a beat. How did she know he had a secret room with things inside?
Who exactly is this little girl?
Hollin's expression changed drastically, and he could barely contain the shock in his heart.
"That little girl is simply... ignorant!" Huo Lin put on an angry look and glared at Old Madam Huo. "Old Madam, what do you mean by this? Did you bring a little girl here specifically to humiliate me?"
"I don't know what I did wrong to incur such resentment from the clan, to have a mere child humiliate me! I will report this to the elders of the clan. I have other matters to attend to, so please excuse me!"
After saying that, Hollin turned and left.
The hurried pace didn't seem to stem from anger, but rather from a rush to do something.
Huo Yusen, who had remained silent, coldly watched his flustered retreating figure. "Qiqi, did you deliberately provoke him to go to that room?"
Unexpectedly, Brother Xiao Jiu saw through it. Qi Qi's eyes sparkled with joy. "Wow, Brother Xiao Jiu, you're so smart! Hmm, I did it on purpose."
"This big bad guy set up a secret room in his office and even set up a formation inside to absorb the luck of everyone in the company. Brother Shao Feng floated in to look for the mask and got trapped. We have to go and rescue him."
Huo Yusen: ...
Huo Yusen thought to himself: I have no intention of saving it at all; I might as well lock that ghost up for life!
But on the surface, they said, "Let's go, let's follow them and see."
He would accompany the little girl unconditionally on whatever she wanted to do!
With Madam Huo present, no one from Zhongnan dared to stop them, and they actually allowed Qiqi and the others to follow Huo Lin all the way into his office.
Huo Lin was so eager to get to the secret room to see his collection of treasures that he didn't even notice Qi Qi and the others behind him.
He entered the office, went straight to the desk, and reached out to turn the pen holder next to the computer.
Click, click!
After a series of clicking sounds, the bookshelf on the left wall suddenly opened up a gap big enough for one person to pass through.
Huo Lin strode into the crevice, and at the same time, Shao Feng, who had been locked inside for more than half an hour, also took the opportunity to float out.
As soon as she came out, she saw Qiqi and quickly floated over to tell her everything she had seen.
"Little Qiqi, there's another room inside. The room is filled with things he stole from the tomb, many of them priceless treasures."
Shao Feng's expression was somewhat grim. "However, all those treasures had talismans affixed to them, as if to prevent the release of yin energy. I also found my mask inside, but he put it in a small box. I wanted to try to open it, but the box had talismans on it, so I didn't dare to get close."
"Most importantly, once I went in, I couldn't get out."
"There's a formation inside that traps yin energy. Brother Shao Feng, you're a ghost, so you have a lot of yin energy. Of course you can't get out once you go in!" Qi Qi explained.
Shao Feng frowned. "Then what should we do? Is there any way to get my mask back?"
"sure!"
That formation can only trap yin energy, not people.
Otherwise, how could Holing have come and gone freely?
Qiqi stepped into the secret room, and Old Madam Huo and the others naturally followed immediately.
Huo Yuwei closed the office door, stood guard at the door without moving, and took out his phone to make a call.
The items stolen by tomb raiders are usually antiques with great research value.
Hollin's business involves overseas operations, and he cannot stand by and watch as treasures belonging to China are lost abroad.
Inside the secret room, Hollin was examining his treasures one by one.
This batch of goods just came out, and the master said it needs to be kept in this room for forty-nine days before it can be shipped out.
Once this batch of treasures is sold, his company will have enough assets to apply for an IPO.
Thinking about this, Hollin couldn't help but get excited.
That brat actually dared to say that his treasures would cause trouble.
These things can only bring good luck and wealth!
That brat, she doesn't understand anything, she just talks nonsense. I'll find a chance to tear her mouth apart later!
