Chapter 203: Substitute Dead
Spirit Fang Ye watched Fan Nan being thrown to the ground with his eyes wide open, and then a pig-like scream rang out from the temple.
"Help! Please let me go, I'm old, ugly and fat, I really don't deserve you, please go find my nephew, he's younger..."
After hearing the scream, a man and a woman sleeping on the floor behind the temple woke up immediately...
"Uncle? Uncle, are you okay?" Fang Ye patted Fan Nan's shoulder with a frown on his face.
"Don't touch me, I've been... Eh? Where is the black-robed bride?"
"Over there." Fang Ye pointed to a torn robe on the ground, and a large bundle of straw was exposed under the robe.
"So this is the true face of the black-robed bride?" Fan Nan's courage finally returned.
"What black-robed bride? This is a trap to scare people. It's just a robe covered with a pile of straw and a mask on top." Fang Ye chuckled, "Uncle Fan Dadan, may I ask why you screamed so miserably just now?"
Fan Nan's old face turned red, "I can scream if I like, what's it to you?"
"I can't control it, but I'm afraid that others have escaped." Fang Ye pulled him up, "Come on, uncle, let's go inside and take a look."
There is a small archway behind the altar. After passing through it is the area where the temple priests usually live. There was a pile of straw on the floor of the room, and next to it were a bunch of clean-gnawed chicken feet and beer cans, which were obviously left there in the past one or two days!
Looking at the open back door, Fan Nan's face turned pale. "Oh no, you've got it right again!"
Fang Ye was a little amused. Uncle, do you still have some shame? It was obviously you who was scared by a scarecrow and screamed, so the other party got alert and ran away. What does it have to do with me?
"There is water on three sides here. They can't run far without a car." Fan Nan took the lead and ran to the back door.
"Uncle, wait a minute!" Fang Ye shouted.
"What are you waiting for? If you wait any longer, everyone will be gone!" Fan Nan said anxiously.
As soon as he stepped out of the back door, a stick came towards him.
Damn it, there's an ambush!
Fan Nan was scared out of his wits. Seeing that the stick was about to hit his head, he suddenly felt a strong force on his collar and was immediately pulled backwards, barely avoiding the stick!
The stick hit the air, shocking the man who was lying in ambush behind the door. He was about to retract his weapon, but suddenly found that he could not retract it.
After rescuing Fan Nan, Fang Ye grabbed the stick and pulled it hard. The attacker was caught off guard and his face hit the door frame with a bang. He immediately saw stars and staggered.
Fang Ye kicked him to the ground, then rushed out of the door and saw a woman hiding in the corner and shivering. Her
hair was disheveled, her eyes were swollen, her face was black and white, and her skirt was messy. She looked completely different from the high-spirited bride before.
After staying in the gloomy and terrifying Fairy Temple for two nights, it was lucky that He Ying did not collapse.
"Don't... don't hit me! I have my reasons, I was forced to do it!"
He Ying burst into tears after seeing Fang Ye, who was "full of murderous intent".
Fang Ye felt a little sorry for her pitiful appearance, and Fan Nan, who heard the voice, limped out.
"He Ying, I didn't expect you to end up like this? Give me back my wages!" Fan Nan was furious when he saw her, and started to beat her with a branch.
"I let you run away with the money! I let you escape! I let you cheat on me! I must beat you to death today..."
He Ying cried even harder after being beaten. Fang Ye couldn't bear it any longer and quickly stopped Fan Nan, "Uncle, aren't you going to chase the money? How can you chase it if you beat someone to death?"
"Oh, that's right!" Fan Nan suddenly realized. If he really beat someone to death, would he ask a ghost for the money?
"Damn cousin, spit out the money from my company right now!"
He Ying cried, "Husband, I have fallen into the situation of running away. Do you think the money will still be with me?"
"Who the hell are you calling husband?" Fan Nan got even angrier after hearing this.
"I'm sorry, I... I called you the wrong name!"
Fang Ye said indifferently, "He Ying, you have caused my uncle to go to jail. If the money is really not in your hands, then tell us everything. Otherwise, we will report to the police to arrest you!"
"No, I'm still young and don't want to go to jail!" He Ying hugged Fan Nan's waist, "Anan, people say that a husband and wife for a day will be bound by a hundred days of grace. Although we didn't complete the wedding, we are indeed husband and wife in the law. Please let me go!"
"If I let you go, will those creditors let me go?" Fan Nan shouted with red eyes, "I am young, and I am only 30 years old. Do I like going to jail?"
Fang Ye reminded, "He Ying, you just need to explain clearly where the money went, and we will solve the rest ourselves."
He Ying shook her head like a wave drum, "No, if I tell them, they will sink me into the river!"
Fan Nan threatened, "You bitch, you are still stubborn, right? If you don't tell me, I will sink you now!"
"Then just kill me. I'm already satisfied to die at the hands of the one I love!" He Ying obviously knew Fan Nan's background, so she just acted like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water and tried to gain some favor at the same time. "Actually, I'm not telling you for your own good. Those guys are all ruthless and cruel. You can't afford to offend them!"
After hearing this, Fan Nan felt mixed emotions. To be honest, he was still reluctant to let He Ying go.
"In fact, even if you don't tell me, I know who is the mastermind behind this." Fang Ye suddenly smiled. "Liu Jianfeng, Liu Guotao's uncle, the actual helmsman of Liujiazhai, am I right?"
He Ying fell into a daze. "You...how did you know?"
"Although my uncle is the legal person of the company, he is actually just a puppet. The fat bug in Beijiang Auto Repair Factory is the one who helps you collect debts, right?"
He Ying's mouth twitched a few times, but she still didn't speak.
"You, Fat Bug, and Liu Guotao are all Liu Jianfeng's subordinates. I know this very well." Fang Ye continued, "But what I wonder is that even if my uncle divorced you, the company can still operate. Why would Liu Jianfeng do such a thing of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs?"
"I... I heard from Liu Guotao that it seems that there was a big problem with a loan of the company, so his uncle wanted to use Anan as a scapegoat." After hesitating for a moment, He Ying still dropped a bombshell, "If I'm not mistaken, the Huahai police will come to arrest Anan in the next one or two days!"
