Chapter 137 Zhao Tianxin Cries for Help
When Yu Liang woke up and checked the time, it was 10 o'clock. Remembering the guest he had booked, he quickly got up to call Yu Xiaoluo.
Yu Xiaoluo remembered that she had asked the old man to come to work yesterday, but she didn't know if he had arrived yet. She asked Yu Liang to call and ask. She learned that Yao Ziming was already receiving guests, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems we really need someone with rich experience and profound skills to oversee things; we can take on one more customer today.
The thought of having to deal with things every day made Yu Xiaolu really unhappy. She felt too tired. She hadn't had enough fun yet and just wanted to eat, drink, and sleep. If it weren't for accumulating good karma points, she really wouldn't want to work.
I'm not really interested in making money, but I can't help it, I'm not short of money.
Although reluctant, I still plan to finish eating and go back to the restaurant first.
Chen Kejing was heartbroken to see that her daughter had lost a lot of weight recently. She had prepared some nourishing food early in the morning and kept it warm in the pot. When she saw that her daughter had woken up, she quickly took it out.
"Luo Luo, just work one day and rest one day. Don't overwork yourself. Our family isn't short of money. If you need money, talk to your dad, or you can talk to me. I have some savings."
Yu Liang stretched as he came downstairs. "Mom, I'm short of money, really short."
Chen Kejing rolled her eyes at him, "You eat at home, use home-grown food, and Luo Luo pays you a salary every month. What money do you need?"
Knowing she would say that, Yu Liang was numb to it anyway, and sat down to start preparing dinner. "What is this? Bird's nest? It tastes pretty good."
When Chen Kejing saw that Yu Liang had drunk the bird's nest she had painstakingly stewed, she had no choice but to get another serving. Fortunately, she had made a little extra today.
Yu Liang suddenly remembered something and said to his sister, "Luo Luo, your antidote pills are really effective. I relied on them yesterday. Can you give me a few to keep on hand?"
"Uh, antidote pills—" Luckily, I made some antidote pills out of boredom in Xuyue Mountain before, but now I really don't have time to make these things.
So Yu Xiaoluo patted her pocket, which she actually took out from her spatial storage, and pulled out a small bottle, handing it to Yu Liang. "Third Brother, here are three pills. This medicine can cure Yin poison and most poisons. You can only take one at a time, and you must not take it unless you are poisoned."
"Uh, what will happen if I eat it?"
"Heh, you'll get poisoned."
Yu Liang quickly put away the antidote pill. This thing could save his life in a critical moment, and he wouldn't be foolish enough to waste it.
After the two finished eating, they prepared to leave. Just as they stepped out the door, they saw a woman wearing a hat and sunglasses standing at the entrance, pacing back and forth.
As soon as they came out, the woman ran over, her eyes fixed on Yu Xiaoluo, "Yu Xiaoluo, are you Yu Xiaoluo? You have to help me."
She took off her glasses; her eyes were red and swollen, with bloodshot veins, and she looked like she hadn't slept all night. She looked very haggard and knelt down in front of Yu Xiaoluo.
Yu Xiaoluo and Yu Liang exchanged glances and quickly helped her up. "Miss, let's talk this out. Get up quickly."
Yu Xiaoluo helped her up and asked with some confusion, "Miss, did something happen to you? How about I make an appointment for you?"
The girl choked up a little. "I am Zhao Tianxin, Zhao Hengshi's daughter, and Shangguan Peiyu's adopted daughter. Of course, we have no relationship now. My father's death may be related to that bitch."
Last night, Zhao Tianxin witnessed Shangguan Peiyu killing people and absorbing their souls, and she was so frightened that she couldn't sleep all night. She couldn't ask others for help because those people were no match for Shangguan Peiyu, and they wouldn't believe her either. They would say that she was deliberately slandering the head of the Shangguan family, so it would be useless to ask for help.
After much thought, she realized that the person Shangguan Peiyu hated most was Yu Xiaoluo. So she searched online for all about Yu Xiaoluo and carefully learned about her. She felt that Yu Xiaoluo might be Shangguan Peiyu's only rival.
Moreover, she understood the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Therefore, she had no choice but to ask Yu Xiaoluo for help.
Moreover, what happened yesterday has likely been exposed, so how could Shangguan Peiyu possibly let her go? He'll probably kill her today.
So, as soon as it was light, she stood guard at the entrance of the Yu family villa for several hours, waiting for Yu Xiaoluo to appear.
I didn't expect Yu Xiaoluo to only leave now, but at least she managed to catch up.
Yu Xiaoluo was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Come in and talk."
Zhao Tianxin stopped talking and followed them into the Yu family compound.
She sat somewhat awkwardly on the sofa in the living room, and Yu Liang made her a cup of tea.
After drinking some hot water, Zhao Tianxin's originally pale face looked a little better.
She recounted everything that had happened yesterday. Yu Xiaoluo and Yu Liang were somewhat surprised when they heard it. "You mean Shangguan Peiyu is absorbing souls?"
Zhao Tianxin nodded. "That should be the case. Originally, I didn't believe that there were spirits in this world. Moreover, I specifically searched for information about you last night and found that there really are some incredible things in this world. Combined with what I saw with my own eyes yesterday, I really changed my worldview overnight."
Zhao Tianxin, who was originally very rebellious, suddenly matured after her father passed away and she was kicked out of the house by her stepmother.
Tears streamed down her face as she nervously clutched Yu Xiaoluo's sleeve. "Miss Yu, Shangguan Peiyu may have discovered that I know her secret. She won't let me go! Can you save me?"
Yu Xiaoluo fell silent. Could it be that the recent incidents of souls disappearing were really related to Shangguan Peiyu?
So, she's practicing evil cultivation, not only consuming those wandering ghosts, but also killing people and absorbing their souls. Thinking about it this way, four of the nineteen souls have disappeared, and Zhang Yue's soul has also disappeared. It seems that all of this is related to Shangguan Peiyu.
It is very likely that the recent homeless suicide incident was also related to her, because the souls of those people disappeared, which can only mean one thing: they were taken away for evil cultivation.
She made a phone call to Nanshan, asking, "Has there been any murders in Julin Lane today?"
Nanshan, who was also at the scene, sighed, "Yes, it was two men, and it seems they died together—Luo Luo, how did you know?"
"Understood, I'll talk about it later."
Yu Xiaoluo hung up the phone, frowning. This Shangguan Peiyu had to be eliminated.
Looking at the dark aura on Zhao Tianxin's forehead, she knew that if she didn't protect her, Zhao Tianxin would truly face a bloody disaster.
"Why don't you stay here for now? There's a formation here that prevents Shangguan Peiyu from getting in, so you'll be safe for the time being."
Zhao Tianxin shook her head, "I want to follow you. Wherever you go, I'll go."
Yu Liang refused to accept it. Why should she, a useless burden, follow Luo Luo? Only someone as talented as him deserves her.
