Chapter 55
Qi Yue's words successfully scared everyone and the ghosts.
After a while, the old medium trembled and said, "Even if you can devour the evil spirit, letting it pass through the seal will greatly damage it, right?"
"If it's broken, just open it. The seal can't last long anyway, so this day will come sooner or later, right?" Qi Yue said with a half-smile.
Xu Jizong immediately scolded him loudly, "Qi Yue, how can you say such angry words! Once the seal is broken, countless ghosts will pour into the human world from the Ghost Gate, wantonly slaughtering ordinary people. At that time, the world will become a hell! Is this what you want to see? Without Gu Yunshuang and the Gu family you care about, are you willing to see their homes destroyed and their tragic deaths at the hands of ghosts?"
Unexpectedly, Qi Yue tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, "This is indeed a good idea."
What? Xu Jizong and the others thought they had misheard, and then they heard Qi Yue continue to mutter: "It's a good death! Everyone will die sooner or later anyway. Let Shuangshuang die now, at his best age, so I can turn him into a ghost, and then we can never be separated again. I think about how to kill him every day and let him accompany me, but I can't do it. It would be great to have a ghost to help me!"
As he spoke, he laughed wildly, his eyes turning red, and his murderous aura was released completely without reservation: "Wait until ghosts invade and turn the human world into another ghost world. Then there will be no need to pretend to be alive and work hard to abide by the laws of the human world. Then I can dominate the human world and the ghost world and become the undisputed king. All ghosts will submit to me and do whatever I want. I can do whatever I want and kill whoever I want, and no one can stop me. Hahaha, don't you think, isn't it a good death!"
Xu Jizong and others looked as ugly as if they had eaten dog shit.
How could they forget that Qi Yue was no longer human, but a ferocious blood demon? How could any ghost want to save the world? They wanted to kill every living thing in the world!
After Qi Yue finished laughing crazily, he glared at the Crimson Evil Spirit and said unhappily, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and come over here to fill my stomach. Don't delay my ambitions."
“…”
The evil spirit immediately retreated back to the Ghost Gate in a hurry, leaving without leaving any trace.
Others: ...

In the elegantly decorated teahouse box, the incense was curling up, and a woman's slender fingers gently plucked the strings of a piano, and the sound of the piano poured out like flowing water.
The gentle and elegant middle-aged man picked up the teacup and sniffed it gently at the tip of his nose. The fragrant tea aroma made his brows relax slightly. Then he raised his head and slowly drank the tea in the cup. His movements were indescribably elegant and graceful, and there was also a hint of the aura of a superior.
The tea master and the zither player, who were brewing tea nearby, couldn't help but stare in a trance, their hearts pounding. This was undoubtedly a very charming man.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the box. Jiang Honghui smiled slightly. The person he was waiting for had arrived: "Come in."
The door was pushed open, and the first person to come in was not Gu Yunshuang, whom he was waiting for, but a gentle and handsome boy.
Behind him were several tall, powerful, black-clad bodyguards with the gait of a dragon or a tiger. Without a word of greeting, the bodyguards quickly checked the box. Before Jiang Honghui could question them, they quickly confirmed that there was no danger in the box and then lined up at the door.
The handsome boy then said respectfully to the person outside the door: "Master, I have confirmed that there are no dangerous people or weapons hiding in the box. You can come in without worry."
Then Gu Yunshuang finally came in after being called for so long. He was wearing a white casual suit, with picturesque eyebrows and features, and a cold expression. In his arms, he was holding a black cat that was so black that there was not a trace of other colors. The collision of black and white made him look even colder and more aloof, not like an ordinary person.
Behind him, more bodyguards followed. Each one was tall and straight, with an imposing presence. They stood in a row as soon as they entered, glaring at Jiang Honghui with a fierce look.
They moved in an orderly manner, and their whole bodies revealed the aura of soldiers who had undergone rigorous military training. Looking at their waists, one side was bulging, which showed that they were probably carrying real weapons.
The feeling of danger was overwhelming, and Jiang Honghui, who was being stared at like this, couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body and his hair stood up.
The handsome boy was very attentive and considerate. He pulled out a chair for Gu Yunshuang and politely invited him to take a seat, showing the professional qualities of a butler.
The zither player and the tea master were stunned by the scene. One of them forgot to play the zither, and the other even spilled the tea on the table.
Jiang Honghui: “…”
The muscles on Jiang Honghui's face couldn't help but twitch.
It is a very high-end membership teahouse, and even if you have money you may not be able to enter.
He originally planned to meet here with the intention of using the carefully created atmosphere and elegant persona to make a good first impression, and to shock Gu Yunshuang, who grew up in the city and had not seen much of the world, with his aura and status.
Now not only was his plan shattered, but Gu Yunshuang also took the lead.
Jiang Honghui quickly calmed down, waved the zither player and Dr. Tea away, then lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "This meeting is just a father wanting to see his son. You don't need to be so cautious. Hiring so many bodyguards must cost a lot, right? Is the money enough? There's one million in this black card. Take it first. If you run out of money, tell me and I'll transfer more."
As he said this, he placed a black card on the table and pushed it in front of Gu Yunshuang, like a kind old father who didn't know how to please his son who was in conflict with him and could only spend money.
Gu Yunshuang didn't even glance at the black card, his eyes filled with undisguised disdain: "Only one million? That's right, your Jiang family company's shares have been plummeting, and I heard that many partners have canceled their orders. The losses are huge, and I'm afraid bankruptcy is not far away. Forget it, you should take it back and use it for your retirement!"
“…”
Jiang Honghui's elegant and loving appearance almost couldn't be maintained.
What was going on? Was Gu Yunshuang ever so arrogant and domineering before? Besides, he was just a poor kid from a remote village, and he'd only made a little money as a celebrity in the past two or three years. How could he have the guts to look down on a million?
This is naturally Gu Yun's double-dealing. Thanks to the haters who discredit him without leaving any room for doubt and Xinchao Entertainment who always gives him bad movies, it can be said that few people know that his acting skills are actually so good.
It's just a piece of cake for him to play a second-generation rich man who is more arrogant and domineering than Jiang Honghui.
When Gu Yunshuang first received Jiang Honghui's call, he was indeed confused by Jiang Honghui's words, but he was not stupid. He quickly realized that Jiang Honghui's sudden request to meet him and his words might have ulterior motives, and he didn't know what bad intentions he had.
Besides, he is not the kind of person who would be easily frightened by what others say.
Jiang Honghui is not a trustworthy person, and how many of his words are credible?
Even if Jiang Honghui was telling the truth, and Father Gu's illness was related to him, then this involved the realm of metaphysics. Gu Yunshuang knew nothing about metaphysics, so his first thought was to consult someone who was skilled in the field. Since Qi Yue wasn't around, he could ask Director Lin.
Because they are worried that they are really unlucky and will be unlucky with their relatives and friends, and they are afraid of being alienated and scared by others, they dare not let others know. So even though they know there is a trap, they still go to the door alone to ask for clarification. This is a stupid thing. Only an idiot would do such a thing.
Director Lin had just sent Qi Yue into the ghost gate when he received a call from Gu Yunshuang and immediately noticed the problem.
Jiang Honghui had long known that Gu Yunshuang was his biological son. Not only did he not think of recognizing him, he also ordered his Xinchao Entertainment to suppress and discredit him, showing no regard for the father-son relationship at all.
It had been so long since his true identity was exposed, and he hadn't thought of contacting Gu Yunshuang before. How could it be such a coincidence that Qi Yue had just entered the Ghost Gate Realm and lost contact with the outside world, and he immediately came to meet Gu Yunshuang? The timing was too coincidental.
Although it might sound a bit alarming, Gu Yunshuang was Qi Yue's most important guarantee for maintaining his humanity, and was extremely important, so they had to take him very seriously. Furthermore, Jiang Honghui was likely someone with ties to metaphysics, which made them even more cautious.
So even though Director Lin was not in Jiangcheng, he made a phone call and asked the Special Management Bureau to immediately form an analysis and investigation team to discuss and analyze Jiang Honghui's purpose and plan.
According to their investigation and analysis, what Jiang Honghui said may not be entirely false, but his ulterior motives are definitely true.
If Gu Yunshuang doesn't want to accept the appointment, he can leave everything to the Special Management Bureau to investigate, and he just needs to go back and wait for the results.
Gu Yunshuang didn't answer directly. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Will it be dangerous if I go on a date?"
Assistant Fang couldn't help but glance down at Gu Yunshuang's shadow on the ground, which looked ordinary without any abnormality. He said with certainty, "It may be frightening, but it will definitely not be dangerous."
Gu Yunshuang: "Then go."
Just now, from the extremely cautious and serious attitude of the Special Management Bureau, he suddenly realized something: Qi Yue was more important to the Special Management Bureau than he had imagined. Qi Yue's hasty departure this time was likely to be a very important and special mission, so as a family member, he would become Qi Yue's weakness.
Those people or ghosts who want to deal with Qi Yue will start with him to target Qi Yue.
That's why the Special Management Bureau is so serious and cautious about his affairs.
Maybe this time it was a misunderstanding, but next time it might not be. Qi Yue and the Special Management Bureau could protect him temporarily, but could they also guard him 24/7 to ensure nothing went wrong? Who could guard against thieves for a thousand days?
He didn't want to be a burden to Qi Yue.
Since we are sure there will be no danger, let's just treat it as an experience.
Gu Yunshuang chuckled faintly, "A roundabout investigation is always less efficient than confronting him head-on and waiting for him to reveal his true intentions, isn't it?"
Assistant Fang also smiled, a hint of admiration in his eyes. Gu Yunshuang's obedience and staying put would indeed save them a lot of trouble. But in the long run, they wanted to see Gu Yunshuang grow.
He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Then he found several experts and after various analyses, he guessed that one of Jiang Honghui's purposes in meeting at the teahouse was probably to give Gu Yunshuang an all-round crush in terms of status, power and money, so as to intimidate him and achieve his next goal.
Since this is the case, they must retaliate by not giving him the status, power, money and other aspects of crushing him, completely disrupting his plans and making him lose his composure, which will make it easier for him to reveal his true colors.
So they arranged this kind of scene and script for Gu Yun.
These bodyguards are all soldiers. The handsome boy, Zhou Sheng, was transferred by Director Lin a long time ago to serve as an assistant to Qi Yue and Gu Yunshuang.
The people in the Special Management Bureau originally thought that Gu Yunshuang would be stage fright, but they didn't expect his acting to be so vivid. The people in the Special Management Bureau who were monitoring here couldn't help but applaud secretly.
Jiang Honghui's fatherly role was almost over. He adjusted his expression, preparing to change his tone, but Gu Yunshuang said impatiently, "If you asked me out just to talk nonsense, forget it. You have to know that my time is very valuable and can generate millions of dollars in revenue every minute. If you keep wasting my time, I won't accompany you anymore."
Jiang Honghui was so angry that he laughed. Very good, Gu Yunshuang said the words he planned to use to further suppress Gu Yunshuang in advance.
He couldn't help but sneer, "So powerful? Do you know what business you're in that's so profitable? Could it be a pig-killing scam?"
Gu Yunshuang was too lazy to answer him. He just stood up with the cat in his arms and turned away.
Seeing him leave so abruptly, Jiang Honghui was really panicked this time. If he missed this opportunity, he might not be able to ask Gu Yunshuang out next time.
The most important thing is that Gu Yunshuang’s childhood sweetheart Qi Yue is actually a Taoist priest who is much more powerful than Xue Tinghe. He has always been inseparable from Gu Yunshuang. He waited for so many days and spent a lot of effort before finally learning the news that Qi Yue had temporarily left and was no longer with Gu Yunshuang.
So he stopped playing the heartbreaking role and said immediately, "Wait, since you're so impatient, I'll just be frank. It's just that this involves our family's secrets, so I hope you can get everyone who's not involved out."
Zhou Sheng immediately objected, "That won't work! How could the Young Master be left alone? What if something happens? Do you know how precious our Young Master is? A single hair on his body is worth more than yours. If we all leave the Young Master, would you be able to afford to take care of him if something happens to him? Forget it. A worthless person like you can't understand."
As he spoke, his eyes were filled with contempt, and he looked like a complete lackey who looked down on others.
Jiang Honghui was so angry that the muscles on his face twisted.
Gu Yunshuang laughed secretly in his heart. As expected of an investigator from the Special Management Bureau, his acting skills were not bad at all.
Jiang Honghui gritted his teeth secretly and took a few deep breaths. In order not to get angry to death, he insisted that he could only tell Gu Yunshuang.
Seeing that he refused to give in, Gu Yunshuang finally took a step back and asked everyone else to wait outside.
In order to maintain his image, Zhou Sheng looked reluctant and kept looking back, giving Jiang Honghui a fierce warning look.
Jiang Honghui took another deep breath. He felt that he had never been so angry in his life.
After everyone left and the door to the private room was closed, Gu Yunshuang stroked the black cat in his arms again and again and said, "There's no one else in the room. Can you tell me now?"
Jiang Honghui put on a kind smile again.
Gu Yunshuang said in a very domineering manner: "Stop, please get straight to the point and make it short. I'll only give you three minutes."
Jiang Honghui's kind smile froze on his face. After a pause, he could only say helplessly, "Okay, then I'll be frank. All of this started because of your mother... Well, you've been in the entertainment industry for so long, you should know that some celebrities will do anything to become famous. Finding financial backers is one thing, but some even raise little ghosts, and preferably the little ghosts they raise are their own blood. Qingya may not have raised any little ghosts, but she worshipped the evil spirit."
Gu Yunshuang had also read the detailed information found by the Special Management Bureau. Xu Qingya came from an ordinary family and had no backing. Her acting skills were mediocre at the beginning. Compared with other female stars who could sing and dance, she had nothing to show for it.
Although she has an outstanding appearance, she is not one of the most outstanding ones in the entertainment industry where beauties are everywhere.
However, her career path was remarkably smooth. She was spotted by a renowned director and cast as the leading actress in a film. She shot to instant fame and entered the entertainment industry. She then signed with a visionary entertainment company and was assigned to a renowned, top-tier agent, who charted the perfect path for her.
She also studied acting, singing and dancing very diligently and hard. As her acting skills improved, she was able to get better roles. Seeing her bright future, the company invested a lot of resources in her, wanting to train her to be the company's cash cow. This also made her star journey smoother. Within a few years, she won the title of Best Actress and became a goddess in the hearts of many people.
Just when everyone thought she would continue to shine in the entertainment industry and even go international, she suddenly announced that she was in love, soon married into a wealthy family, and soon retired from the entertainment industry.
Many people felt sorry for her, and her diligence and hard work were deeply rooted in people's hearts. Many people felt that she deserved her success and fame for her hard work. Even now, her diligence often appears as an example in middle school students' essays.
But now, according to Jiang Honghui, Xu Qingya’s success is not due to her hard work and the support of her agent and company, but because she worshipped an evil god?
Not to mention Gu Yunshuang, no one in the Special Management Bureau who was eavesdropping here through eavesdropping devices believed it.
Jiang Honghui chuckled as he spoke of his thoughts, "I can't believe you're still so naive after all the competition in the entertainment industry. There are countless people in the entertainment industry who are both good-looking and hardworking. But not everyone can become famous. Without resources and exposure, no matter how good-looking you are or how hardworking you are, no one will notice."
Gu Yunshuang frowned slightly, very unhappy with his words and tone, but he was too lazy to argue with him about these things, so he asked, "And then?"
"There's no such thing as a free lunch. The evil god granted her wish, so naturally he had to accept a sacrifice. And that sacrifice was her firstborn child. I only learned this after I got married and had you."
Jiang Honghui sighed helplessly and said, "Don't blame your mother. She was an atheist at the time. She heard that worshiping the evil god was very effective, so she thought it was novel and fun, so she followed suit. She casually made a wish to enter the entertainment industry, become a big star, and marry into a wealthy family. She never expected that this wish would actually come true. After she became pregnant with you, she had nightmares every night. She dreamed that the evil god came to ask for a sacrifice. She then realized that the evil god really existed and that you were the sacrifice chosen by the evil god."
