Chapter 62
A bowl of dog food was suddenly poured on Chi Bai's face.
Chi Bai: “…”
"Aren't you talking to Rong Jing on the phone? What are you looking at? You look like you've been hit hard." A Qiu, who came in from outside with fast food, glanced at his deputy minister's indescribable expression, asked a few more questions out of curiosity, and handed over the lunch that belonged to Chi Bai.
However, Chi Bai only took a look and said in a dark tone: "No need to give it to me, I'm full."
Aqiu: "Are you full? What did you eat without telling me?"
Didn't we agree not to eat out for lunch today? Wouldn't he go to the cafeteria and get two meals? Did that bastard Chi Bai secretly order takeout? Ah Qiu's eyes subconsciously turned to the trash can in the corner, but he only saw a few pieces of waste paper.
He took a closer look and couldn't help asking, "Where's the evidence?"
Chi Bai put the phone in front of him: "Here."
When he saw the content at the top of the page clearly, Aqiu took a big mouthful of rice and turned away.
Today's meal is really sour.
…
Rong Jing saw that after he sent out the four words "ambiguous object" and a small emoticon, Chi Bai seemed to have disappeared and never said a word again. He didn't say much either. It just so happened that he felt that the airplane food was not tasty and was busy filling his stomach.
Seeing that he had put away his phone, Xie Changshi asked casually, "Let's go to Tianditong for hotpot?"
Rong Jing shook his head decisively: "Not going today."
I won’t go tomorrow, and I probably won’t go for some time.
After all, who knows if the two bosses of Tianditong will catch him and beat him up.
He lowered his head and moved closer to Xie Changshi, scrolling through his phone for a long time before finally finding a fried chicken restaurant. He said decisively, "Let's have this today. It's my treat."
Xie Changshi has never been very interested in the little things that Rong Jing likes to eat, but if it is Rong Jing himself who is eating with him, then it is a different story.
Nodding in agreement, the two soon arrived at the fried chicken shop.
Coincidentally, this fried chicken shop is located inside the Hengya Shopping Mall. The shop is very clean and simple. As soon as you walk in, you can smell the aroma of cheese, which aroused your appetite. You ordered half of the menu in one go.
Although they are both fried chicken, the sauces are different.
The fried chicken was served. Xie Changshi watched Rong Jing eat it, took a sip of lemonade, and whispered, "Let's go to the movies later."
The boy holding the chicken bone in his mouth raised his head: "Hmm?"
Xie Changshi raised his eyelids and looked at him: "In order to go from being a flirt to a boyfriend as soon as possible, I think I need to work harder."
He paused, the corner of his mouth raised, and he said word by word, "After all, there's a little zombie who refuses to admit that inviting me to lie in the same urn with him is a confession of love."
He couldn't even take advantage of the opportunity to get promoted.
Rong Jing heard that he meant to settle the score later, so she decisively grabbed a piece of chicken with honey mustard sauce and stuffed it into his mouth: "Let's not talk about this during dinner time. Eat quickly, and then we'll go to the movies... What should we watch?"
Xie Changshi handed the phone over and Rong Jing looked down.
Since Xiao Sheng's incident was exposed, "Thick Fog" has been pulled from the shelves. At first glance, there is no one who can compete. Rong Jing said to Xie Changshi while picking and choosing, "Boss, you should have someone make a movie right now, release it immediately, and then take me to see it."
Xie Changshi: "There's a big difference between a domineering CEO and a turtle in a wishing well."
Rong Jing: “…”
He swiped his finger and clicked on a horror movie, and said excitedly: "Watch this."
He had just taken a quick look at the reviews. It was said that while the film's plot was average, it strangely felt immersive. One user from IP Yancheng strongly recommended going to Hengya Cinema to see it, saying that although it was a small film, Hengya Cinema was very considerate and had the best facilities. Especially at crucial moments, when the air conditioning temperature suddenly dropped, those who didn't know would think a ghost had actually run behind them.
Rong Jing clicked on the location of Hengya Cinema shared by netizens, and it was the one on the eighth floor above their heads.
Xie Changshi had no objection to Rong Jing's choice. After all, apart from this horror film, the only other suitable films were two cartoons and a literary romance film, none of which were of much interest to watch.
After eating fried chicken, Rong Jing touched his full stomach and pulled people to the mall with satisfaction.
Passing by a claw machine shop, he turned back eagerly, pointed at a stern-faced mannequin in a suit, and asked, "Look, does it look like you?"
Xie Changshi stared at the ugly little man for a long time, but he really couldn't see any similarities between himself and it.
But after asking, Rong Jing went to exchange a lot of coins, patted his chest and said to Xie Changshi: "Wait for me to pick it up and give it to you as a gift."
Xie Changshi suddenly felt that this ugly thing seemed to become pleasing to the eye.
Unfortunately, Rong Jing had already finished his preparations and used up all the coins in the small basket, but he still didn't pick up the suit figurine. Rong Jing turned back again, and Xie Changshi was standing behind him, leisurely observing his unhappy, wrinkled face. He couldn't help but laugh and asked him, "How about I use my domineering CEO skills?"
Rong Jing shook his head and refused.
no.
Everyone said it was a gift for Xie Changshi, so how could Xie Changshi still spend money?
He looked at the time. There was still half an hour before the movie started, and the cinema was on the eighth floor. It would take less than two minutes to go up. The extra twenty minutes would be enough to grab the doll!
Rong Jing, full of confidence and courage, went to exchange for a basket of coins and took action decisively.
Ten minutes later.
The owner of the claw machine shop leaned against the shelf, munching on sunflower seeds while watching the two people being fooled. They were truly good-looking. He'd been running the shop for nearly ten years, and he'd never seen anyone better-looking. But their looks were useless; they couldn't catch a single doll, and it made him feel pity.
After spitting out the last melon seed, the boss walked over to Rong Jing and said, "Young man, you want this, right? I'll give it to you. You can get something else."
Rong Jing looked at the little man in the suit who fell down again with a snap and felt like he had been hit hard.
He politely declined his boss's offer, saying "one more time". He carefully adjusted his posture and the position of the clamp, found the right angle, and pressed the button hard with a click.
The clamp wobbled down and snapped onto the big head of the man in the suit. Then it tightened suddenly, rising steadily to the highest position, and moved smoothly to the drop point before suddenly falling down.
Rong Jing: “!!”
He quickly bent down and fished out the suited figure, then turned his head and looked excitedly at the man behind him who was also smiling at him. He was so happy that he wanted to jump up and down. He stuffed the doll into Xie Changshi's hand and said, "This is for you."
Xie Changshi looked at the smiling face in front of him, then at the doll. He placed the doll in front of him and asked, "Is it really like it?"
Rong Jing nodded vigorously, then took out his phone and snapped a few pictures. He then leaned over and pointed at the photo: "Look, don't they look alike?"
It seems... a little bit, but just a little.
But no matter whether it looks like the real thing or not, Xie Changshi likes it very much.
He reached out and rubbed the boy's head, chuckled and said, "Thank you, Jing. I like this gift very much."
"I'm glad you like it. Let's go watch a movie." Seeing that time was running out, Rong Jing grabbed the man's wrist and strode out of the store.
The boss was left sighing and saying, "The young couple is really energetic."
Then continue to wait for the next unlucky person who can't hold the doll to come.
When Rong Jing and Xie Changshi arrived at the cinema, there were still two minutes before the movie started, so Rong Jing hurriedly sped up. Once they were seated, they looked around and were shocked to find they were the only two people in the entire theater. Then, the entire enclosed space went completely dark.
As the music started, a strange feeling of coolness quietly emerged.
Just then, the evil spirit suddenly appeared right next to them, and the characters in the movie burst into heart-wrenching screams. Rong Jing turned to look at Xie Changshi, who had been surrounded by evil spirits since childhood. His expression was as calm as water, without a trace of panic or fear.
Xie Changshi was also looking in the mirror. The slight frown of disdain on the boy's face clearly showed his dissatisfaction with the setting of the ghost characters in the movie.
It seems that I should not watch horror movies next time.
Even if they watched a bad love movie and made Rong Jing shed a few tears, he could take the opportunity to comfort her with a few words and create an ambiguous atmosphere.
Just as worried as Xie Changshi and Rong Jing was the working ghost hiding in the corner. It stretched its neck and stared at the two's backs for a long time, and could only hear the crunch of popcorn as it went into its mouth. As for the "gasps" and "short breathing" when watching a horror movie, it did not appear at all.
But the key is that it has tried hard to lower the temperature in the house!
Didn’t these two feel something was wrong?!
So is there any bonus for today?
The little ghost looked at the two of them with resentment. He thought about going up to them directly, but was afraid of really scaring them. So he could only continue to shrink miserably, and then sighed and complained to others on his phone about the difficulty of working.
As the movie slowly drew to a close, Rong Jing sighed. He turned to look at Xie Changshi and asked quietly, "Isn't it really that bad?"
"It looks pretty good." Xie Changshi replied.
A question mark popped up in Rong Jing's head. Just when he was about to ask if Xie Changshi had poor eyesight, the man seemed to know what he was going to say and took the initiative to speak: "I'm looking at you."
Rong Jing paused.
Rong Jing blushed.
Rong Jing silently turned his head, put the ice cola on his hot face, and decided to take back his previous comment.
Xie Changshi clearly has a good eye.
Click.
The movie ended and the lights turned back on.
Having received a sweet word, Rong Jing left the theater in a good mood, so much so that she didn't even bother with the little kid hiding in the corner. Xie Changshi walked behind the young man, and seeing his cheerful figure, he couldn't help but smile.
So easy to coax.
…
Special Assistant Song was lying on the sofa and browsing his phone when he found that their boss Xie had posted on WeChat Moments again.
What was rare this time was not a photo of Rong Jing, but a little doll in a suit that looked a bit shoddy, with its eyes sewn crookedly.
He thought about it and decided to comment, but when he refreshed the page, a line of words from Lu Yunji popped up below the photo: Why post such an ugly thing on WeChat Moments?
Their Mr. Xie replied: It was sent by Rong Jing, and Rong Jing saw it.
Just two seconds later, when I refreshed the page, Vice President Lu's message disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by another message: The little thing is so cute and unique.
Special Assistant Song followed up with: Mr. Rong has a good eye/thumbs up
Rong Jing, who was walking beside Xie Changshi, caught a glimpse of the man looking down at his phone and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?"
"Post the gift you gave me on WeChat Moments," Xie Changshi explained, adding, "Lu Yunji and Special Assistant Song both praised your good taste."
It was as if an invisible tail suddenly rose up behind Rong Jing, and the propeller started to spin. He raised his chin slightly and said confidently: "They have good taste."
After lunch and watching a movie, it’s almost four o’clock now, which is not too early.
Xie Changshi asked Rong Jing, "Do you want to go home first?"
Rong Jing nodded: "Let's go to the supermarket to buy snacks and vegetables first. We will have hot pot at home tonight."
Xie Changshi responded.
…
Time goes into the night.
According to the national weather forecast, the moon will be bright and the stars will be sparse in Yancheng tonight, while Baishui City in Jiangdian Province is shrouded in gloomy darkness.
Members of Baishui City's special department were lurking outside the suburban villa of local wealthy businessman Cao Weiyi.
"I don't know what Cao Weiyi's hobby is. He built the villa in such a remote place." Cheng Da squatted on a tree trunk not far away, looked down at the only house with light flashing in the mountains, and couldn't help muttering.
He was quite knowledgeable and had seen many suburban villas before, but he had never seen one like the one in front of him, which was surrounded by weeds and the weeds were very tall.
Rather than calling it a villa, it is more like an old grave in a desolate mountain, specially used to hide corpses.
Cheng Da said whatever he wanted to say. When the word "hidden corpse" was transmitted through the communicator to the ears of several other companions, someone said helplessly: "Watch less homicide cases in the future."
Cheng Da snorted, "But they really do look alike. And since he's hooking up with the Taoist priests from Taozi Temple, it's obvious that Cao Weiyi isn't a good person."
The director of Baishui City's special department was about forty years old. He wore a special combat uniform made by the department, looking more like a soldier than a Taoist priest. He couldn't help but laugh at Cheng Da's muttering.
I wanted to add one more thing, "It doesn't mean that you are not a good person just because you invited a Taoist priest from Taoziguan to your home to check the feng shui," but when I remembered that the person they mentioned was Cao Weiyi, I swallowed the words.
Before coming, he had already read Cao Weiyi's detailed information.
Cao Weiyi's family had a glorious generation. His grandfather started from scratch and was very successful. He was a well-known entrepreneur in the country at that time.
However, due to overwork and poor health in his youth, he handed over the company to his only son, Cao Weiyi's father, early on. Unfortunately, Cao Weiyi's father was a hopeless case. Even if he had done nothing, he could have earned a lot of money just by waiting for the bank to pay interest. However, his lack of ability and his love for entrepreneurship led him to squander most of the family fortune in just ten years.
Poor Mr. Cao had a glorious life, but he passed away in his old age because he couldn't figure it out.
After his father's death, Cao's father, with little money left in his family, finally decided not to get involved in the entrepreneurial business and to live a good life. But his luck was really bad. His mistress, seeing that he was becoming more and more stingy, decided to force her way into his position. She even tried to run over Cao's father's original wife, but she didn't hit her, but she did kill Cao.
It's... what you deserve.
Afterwards, Cao's mother raised Cao Weiyi. Cao Weiyi demonstrated his abilities in the business world and quickly turned the tide, reviving the declining Cao Group.
At first glance, Cao Weiyi couldn't be more amazing.
But Zhang Bu, who had read the information, knew clearly that Cao Weiyi had already come into contact with the Taoist priests of Taozi Temple when he first came into contact with the Cao Group. Therefore, the current prosperity of the Cao family could not escape the support of Taozi Temple.
He didn't believe that Cao Weiyi didn't know the code of conduct of Taoziguan.
Lowering his eyes, he looked at the information uploaded on his mobile phone and thought to himself, it seems that he was right.
Like the Danfeng Group, the Cao Group also has all kinds of strange methods of driving living stakes.
Seeing this, Zhang Bu nodded his earphones and said to his companions, "Don't worry about Cao Weiyi's life or death when the fight starts."
Cheng Da couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard this: "Cao Weiyi probably never thought that this place would really become his grave——"
Before he could even finish his words, the smile on Cheng Da's face suddenly faded. He was acutely aware that the wind behind him had suddenly stopped, replaced by an extreme silence and the sound of something breathing very shallowly. The breathing seemed to be right behind him, brushing against the skin on the back of his neck, quickly stirring up a thin layer of goose bumps.
His body stiffened slightly.
Realizing that his words had suddenly disappeared mid-sentence, his companions also seemed to have noticed something. Their previously calm and relaxed expressions suddenly tightened. Zhang Bu's face was gloomy, and he asked in a low voice: "Cheng Da?"
Cheng Da swallowed and tried to slow down his breathing. Then, he turned around suddenly and took a step forward, hoping to take this opportunity to escape from that strange environment.
However, the moment he turned around, the pair of crimson pupils that appeared within his eyes seemed to possess a magical power. When his gaze met theirs, he shuddered and involuntarily stopped all movement. When he regained consciousness, it was because of the sharp pain in his chest.
Daidai lowered his head, and saw the sharp claws piercing his heart.
Then, the claws suddenly tightened.
Cheng Da felt an even more severe pain coming. The next second, he seemed to hear the sound of something being crushed, but he couldn't even scream out in pain or call for help. He was just thrown out by the sharp claw with a bang like garbage.
The sound of the collision was remarkably clear in the darkness, and at the same time, a strong, bloody smell filled the air. When the mountain wind blew it into the noses of the other members of the Special Department, Zhang Bu and the others' eyes were already red.
Zhang Bu's figure quickly moved towards the direction where the smell of blood came from. With the help of the talisman paper, he jumped and landed easily. In just a few seconds, he reached the tree where Cheng Da was originally staying. Then, he looked down and vaguely saw a lifeless figure in the darkness.
"Cheng Da?" Zhang Bu shouted again in disbelief, but the figure on the ground never responded.
He walked closer step by step with a calm look in his eyes, bent down and turned on the flashlight to see Cheng Da's current appearance clearly.
The young man, who was only twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, still had a look of fear on his face, his pupils were constricted, and his mouth was slightly open, which was enough to show how painful and scared he was when he died.
Zhang Bu slowly exhaled and was about to reach out to cover Cheng Da's eyes when another scream came from behind him!
He turned quickly and flew in that direction without hesitation.
However, in just a few seconds, when he reached the source of the sound, a shadow suddenly flew towards him. He was startled and was about to dodge, but the flashlight on his chest illuminated the shadow at that moment.
He paused in his dodging movement and stayed where he was, allowing the shadow to fall into his arms.
...is his other companion.
In a short period of less than ten seconds, these two outstanding figures from the Da Dao Temple did not even have the ability to fight back, and their lives were taken away so easily.
Looking at the young face in front of him, Zhang Bu's heart was filled with rage, but he suppressed it tightly and only shouted: "Come to my place."
The voice came out, but no one answered.
Zhang Bu's face turned pale instantly when he realized this.
He brought a total of four people to Cao Weiyi's villa this time. Now that two of them have had accidents, there should be two more.
With trembling fingers, he tapped the communicator hard and called out, "Xiao Wu? Bai Yun?"
There was no sound from the communicator.
It wasn't until a few seconds later that he heard a voice with a satisfied sigh coming from behind him.
Zhang Bu suddenly turned around and pointed the tip of the peach wood sword in his hand at the opponent.
Crash.
It was as if a huge hole had been broken in the sky, and basins of water poured out from it. Raindrops as big as beans formed a line and fell on Zhang Bu's head, shoulders, and body, soaking him completely.
In the light blurred by rain and fog, a huge ghost gradually appeared.
Along with the ghost appeared Ben Qi's thin figure.
Ben Qi was a skinny old man, hunched over, his face wrinkled, his hair and beard gray. He raised his eyes and looked at the man in front of him. A smile crossed his hoarse voice as he slowly said, "The Special Department is really becoming less and less respectable. A few kids couldn't even fight back in the hands of my pets. No wonder they allowed Xuantian Temple to develop to this point. They are truly useless."
He looked Zhang Bu up and down, his eyes filled with disdain: "From what I see, you are probably not that good of a leader, are you?"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand.
His arms, unlike those of an ordinary person, seemed unusually long, his palms unusually large. With a single blow, the demon behind him shot out like an arrow. The demon's speed was so fast that it appeared before Zhang Bu in the blink of an eye. It was only then that he realized why none of his four young men had been able to dodge it.
Too fast.
There was no way to avoid it at such a speed.
Zhang Bu's eyes turned fierce, and he simply attacked with the peach wood sword, piercing the evil ghost's palm.
However, what was quite incredible was that the peach wood sword was actually pinched in the palm of the evil ghost and shattered into powder with a click.
There was no scar on the evil ghost's palm!
How is that possible?!
Zhang Bu's expression changed slightly, and he immediately threw out the talisman paper in his hand. However, when the talisman paper fell on the evil ghost's head, the evil ghost easily waved it away.
The evil ghost opened his scarlet eyes wide, dropped his hands to the ground, howled, and jumped high again.
A huge shadow loomed over Zhang Bu like a mountain, and at that moment his heart began to beat violently. He could say without exaggeration that this was the most powerful demon he had ever seen in his life.
Moreover, this evil ghost actually ignored the magic tools and talismans.
It's not normal at all!
"you--"
In shock, Zhang Bu turned around and tried to run, but a strange and cold aura suddenly spread from the front of him and permeated his body.
In the shadows, another equally huge evil ghost blinked its scarlet eyes and approached him step by step.
In an instant, two evil spirits attacked, and their powerful aura bound his body, making him unable to move even a step. He could only watch as the sharp claws of the evil spirits pierced into his chest.
Bang!
In the darkness, the imagined pain did not come, but the sudden appearance of golden light stung Zhang Bu's eyes.
He stared blankly ahead—
A banner as red as blood was stuck in the ground, swaying without wind.
Then, a deep voice came from a distance: "Retreat!"
