Chapter 23
Lin Sheng didn’t even know that his own Wangcai could speak human language!
Xu Guannan was suddenly surprised by the spirit beast in front of him. He saw the spirit beast lower its head and throw the person in its mouth in front of Xu Guannan.
Lantian bravely walked to Xu Guannan's side, and curiously glanced at the unconscious person on the ground. His pupils instantly dilated, and he cried out involuntarily.
"Amin!"
By the time Lantian reacted, Amin had already been taken away by two policemen.
Although Lin Sheng was shocked, he did not forget the main thing. He simply went along with it and reached out to pat Wangcai.
Wangcai's eyes flickered, he nodded silently, squatted down, put Lin Sheng down first, and disappeared in front of everyone the next second.
When everyone looked up, they could not see the "Poseidon" at all. They looked at each other, as if it was all an illusory dream, but the collapsed statue of Poseidon in front of them revealed everything.
The village chief stood up tremblingly, walked up to Lin Sheng, and spoke in extremely respectful words,
"Miss Lin, you were sent by the Sea God to bring rain. If Amin has done anything disrespectful to you, I will apologize on his behalf. Please don't blame me too much. Send down a heavy rain to save Siyuan Island."
As soon as he finished speaking, the village chief actually knelt down on the spot and kowtowed heavily to Lin Sheng. The people behind him followed closely and were about to continue.
Lin Sheng suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and quickly bent down to help the village chief up.
"No need to perform grand formalities. This is all Amin's fault. There will be heavy rain tomorrow at noon. Everyone, relax."
The village chief's eyes lit up instantly, and everyone present showed a look of surprise on their faces, and they believed Lin Sheng's words without a doubt.
Xu Guannan's frown slowly relaxed. Seeing Lin Sheng standing in front of him intact, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't ask too much about the specific details, but just said lightly,
"Thank goodness you're back, safe and sound."
Hearing this, Lin Sheng patted Xu Guannan's shoulder nonchalantly and said jokingly in a relaxed tone,
"Captain Xu, what can happen to me? Just keep your mind at ease."
Seeing that Lin Sheng was still so teasing, Xu Guannan finally felt relieved. He secretly hesitated whether to speak out the doubts in his heart, but just as he was about to open his mouth, he heard a sudden cry from the crowd behind him.
"Ah! Someone's dead! Someone's dead!"
His thoughts were instantly pulled back, and Xu Guannan tightened the string in his mind again. A dark look flashed in his eyes, and he immediately rushed over to check.
The crowd gathered together, and a skull fell to the ground. The people around shrank back in horror, but they couldn't help but be curious.
"Whose head is this? Hiding the body in the statue of Poseidon? What a huge hatred and resentment!"
"There's only a skeleton left. It must have been hidden in the Poseidon statue for years. Could it be... could it be that the Poseidon statue collapsed unexpectedly two years ago..."
"Could it be that because of this corpse, the Sea God has been punishing us for the past few years?"
"Who on earth is so vicious that he wants to kill us? It's so hateful!"
"The person who rebuilt the Poseidon statue was Amin. The police just arrested him. He must have done it!"
"Then this body can't be...Mo..."
"Dad! After all these years, it turns out that Ah Min was the one who killed you. Blame me for being unfilial. I didn't even notice it and I was still respectful to that kid. Damn it!"
Mo Yu rushed out of the crowd, knelt in front of the skull, and picked up the skull. Sorrow spread from the bottom of his heart. For a moment, the gossiping crowd fell silent, and their eyes looking at Mo Yu were unconsciously filled with pity.
The village chief quietly walked to Mo Yu, patted the young man's shoulder, and comforted him with words of regret.
"Xiao Yu, I'm so sad. Amin has been arrested. The police will give your father justice. Take your father's body back and bury him properly."
Xu Guannan finally understood and said to Lin Sheng,
"So, you saw it last time, right? You were just waiting for Amin to fall into the trap."
Lin Sheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this. There was no emotion in his eyes when he looked at Xu Guannan. However, the words he said directly denied Xu Guannan's opinion.
"Captain Xu, I don't have any omnipotent abilities that can predict everything in advance. I'm hungry, so I should go to the old man's house for a meal."
At noon the next day, the sky over Siyuan Island suddenly became gloomy. A strong wind swept across the entire island. Dark clouds covered the sky above Siyuan Island, and lightning seemed to tear the night apart. Unexpectedly, muffled thunder sounded in the black clouds, followed by "teardrops" falling on people's faces.
On this day, the residents of Siyuan Island rushed into the rain. No matter how the rain soaked their clothes and washed over their bodies, everyone had a bright and unrestrained smile on their faces.
Lin Sheng drove away from Siyuan Island with the ring in his hand. The old man transferred half of the property on Siyuan Island to Lin Sheng's name.
"Girl, I'm old and not short of money. The boys in my family all have their own careers and don't look down on the little money an old man has. Come and accompany me more often in the future. I will hand over the property on this island to you."
Even Lin Sheng himself didn't expect that he would get some unexpected wealth this time.
Thinking this in his mind, Lin Sheng tore open a chicken drumstick packaging bag and threw the chicken drumstick into the treasure bag. He only heard a clear sound from the bag.
"Woof!"
As soon as Lin Sheng stepped into the villa gate, he received a life-threatening call. Lin Sheng was carrying luggage in his hands and had no hands free to answer the phone. In just two minutes, there were ten missed calls, and all from the same number.
Looking at the notes on the call log, Lin Sheng frowned. Her intuition told her that the other party was coming with great force.
"Old witch?"
Lin Sheng didn't want to pay attention to the other party immediately. Just when he was about to turn off the screen, the "old witch" called again. Lin Sheng wanted to hang up, but accidentally touched the connection. In an instant, an overwhelming scolding sounded.
"Lin Sheng! Why are you answering the phone now? Don't you want to work anymore? Come to the company now, right now, right now!"
As soon as the voice fell, the other party was about to hang up the phone, Lin Sheng suddenly said,
"Old witch, where is the company? What's its name? I'm still on vacation, so this counts as overtime. How is the overtime pay calculated?"
There was a silence on the other side, only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard, and then there was a roar of the Hedong Lion.
"After a few days of vacation, you don't even know who you are. Is this the right attitude towards your boss? Office 102, 5th Floor, Guangming Building, 312 North Street Center 1st Road, I want to have a serious talk with you about whether you should stay or leave!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a crisp "beep" came from the phone.
The other party has hung up...
Lin Sheng felt a sense of bewilderment and tired of the mess left behind by his original body. He rolled his eyes, turned around and walked into the storage room, rummaging through a pile of his original body's "junk", and finally found a company's labor contract. The address on it was exactly the same as what the "old witch" said.
I casually flipped through the contract and saw it clearly stated a base salary of 3,000, working from 9am to 7pm, with four days off per month and the option of voluntary overtime...
"With the idea of not starving the black donkey, you're forcing it to eat? This is even more evil than the evil capitalists! I want to see how you want to talk to me!"
After saying that, Lin Sheng found a pen, took out a piece of white paper, wrote two words with a wave of his hand, put it directly into his pocket, and rushed straight to Guangming Building.
As soon as she entered the room, her colleague Xiao Cai came forward and pulled Lin Sheng aside with a worried look on his face. He kept glancing at Office 102 and nervously reminded her,
"Shengsheng, why were you called here too? I knew the old witch had bad intentions. The two young men in the group are still on vacation, and the old witch only knows how to exploit us. Why does a woman have to make things difficult for another woman?
However, the old witch is very angry now, so when you go in, be careful with your words and don't bring bad luck to her."
Hearing this, Lin Sheng's heart became even more impatient and he became more determined to leave. His eyes darkened as he comforted Xiao Cai,
"I understand. Don't worry. I will definitely, okay, okay, talk to her."
When colleague Xiao Cai heard this, she felt something was wrong, but before she could react, she saw Lin Sheng knocking on the door of office 102. Looking at Lin Sheng's back, Xiao Cai suddenly felt a sense of incongruity. Lin Sheng in front of her seemed like a different person, but she was surprised to find that he was actually... a bit handsome.
Lin Sheng knocked on the door twice symbolically and clearly heard a momentary pause in the conversation in the office, but did not hear the words "Come in".
Is this a deliberate attempt to stir up trouble?
After knocking twice more, Lin Sheng finally heard an extremely impatient word coming from inside the door - "Come in."
Lin Sheng raised his eyebrows and simply opened the door and went in. As soon as he stepped in, he felt a hostile gaze. He looked up and saw a 40-year-old woman with heavy makeup sitting at the desk. Her bright red lips moved up and down. She glared at Lin Sheng fiercely and said unhappily,
"Isn't there anyone here? I have something important to discuss. Why are you looking for me so urgently? Knocking on the door is like a death warrant!"
Before Lin Sheng could speak, he was blamed. He couldn't stand the anger in his heart. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He nodded slightly to the old witch, seemingly apologizing.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you. You called me over so many times and didn't tell me in advance that you had guests."
Facing Lin Sheng's uncharacteristic retort, the old witch was obviously a little surprised, and the expression between her eyebrows added a layer of darkness.
"Okay, Lin Sheng, but I gave you a few days off, and you're so arrogant! I really gave you a lot of face, but is there anyone who talks back to his boss like you?"
"That depends on who it is, and what they say to you... humph!"
The old witch was immediately furious and slapped the desk with her palm. She accidentally used too much force and frowned in pain. She still tried to save face and picked up the documents at hand and threw them at Lin Sheng.
"You dare to talk to me like that? I think you don't want to do this anymore!"
Lin Sheng dodged flexibly and escaped unscathed. He took out a ball of paper from his pocket and threw it accurately at the old witch's face. He sneered and said,
"Oh, I won't attend this crappy class. I won't tolerate this kind of frustration!"
