Chapter 09 Chapter 9
In the living room with simple and elegant decoration, a thin boy with delicate appearance was curled up on the sofa. He was holding a can of Coke in his hand, looking up with a dazed look in his eyes.
In front of him, a tall and handsome young man was holding another can of Coke in his hand and extending it towards him, looking down at him with a loving look in his eyes.
The scene was a bit weird. Xiao Jing, who was floating on the side, couldn't help but sighed: "It's a bit like the ambiguous video I just saw!"
His words finally sobered Yuan Tian up. She quickly took the Coke from Tang Yang and smiled, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Tang Yang took the empty can from his other hand and threw it into the trash can. Then he sat back opposite him and asked in a gentle tone, "My sister told me that you were a businessman before. What kind of store did you run?"
"Antique Grocery Store." Yuan Tian ignored Xiao Jing who had floated to the side and had been staring at the Coke can in his hand, and said with a little melancholy: "But my store is closed."
Antique grocery store? Tang Yang thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out how these two things were related. However, those who can sell antiques usually have some family background, so even if the store goes bankrupt, they will not be left homeless.
I'm afraid there is some ulterior motive? Thinking of this, Tang Yang asked calmly: "Why did it suddenly go bankrupt?"
"I owed debts." Yuan Tian shrugged frankly, "All the antiques in the store were given away to pay off the debts, so the store went bankrupt. But don't worry, you won't be implicated. My creditors are all very principled."
It turned out to be a debt. Tang Yang suddenly realized that this made sense. Perhaps the child's family had fallen on hard times and was implicated by the family's debts.
It was not easy, Tang Yang thought that he could spend the next few days to get along with the kid. If the kid was really okay after getting along with him, he would not mind spending some money to help the kid pay off his debt, as a way to repay him for saving Tang Meng. And that kid, he had to find a way to get him out, otherwise the kid would be doomed if he continued like this.
With a plan in mind, Tang Yang said, "There is a bedroom on the first floor, which is a guest room. You can sleep there tonight. Get up at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, have breakfast, and follow me out to the company at half past eight."
Yuan Tian had no objection and was about to say a few polite words of thanks when he heard Tang Yang's cell phone ring. So he shut up and watched the man walk to the garden to answer the call.
While the man was out, Xiao Jing quickly grabbed Boss Yuan's arm and said pitifully, "Boss, I want to drink this too..."
He pointed at Coke with his claws, his face full of anticipation and pity. Ghosts can't eat directly, they can only be fed by living people. Otherwise, he would have been living in the refrigerator by now.
Yuan Tian glanced at him: "Want it?"
"Hmmmm!" The little boy's head was almost broken.
"Okay..."
When Tang Yang came in after finishing his call, he saw the young boss in the living room still lazily lying on the sofa like a cat, daydreaming and drinking Coke. As for the little ghost who was pestering him, he was now lying on the empty sofa next to the young boss, looking dazed and giggling from time to time, just like a drunkard.
Tang Yang was a little confused. What happened?
The dazed boss was also a little confused. His kid was actually drunk with Coke?!
Seeing that the little ghost was indeed not dangerous, Tang Yang said hello to Yuan Tian with peace of mind and went back to the master bedroom on the second floor. Someone from the company just called to say that the expert they had invited had arrived and would be able to do the work tomorrow morning. He thought, when the time comes, let the so-called expert get rid of the little ghost.
The longer the little ghost haunts him, the worse the boss's health will be. Putting aside the favor of saving his sister, Tang Yang doesn't want to see a young life disappear for no reason.
The next morning, Tang Yang saw the still pale-looking boss in the living room, and... the little ghost who had fully recovered and was smiling sweetly behind the boss.
He became more and more determined to send the little ghost away.
Tang Yang and Tang Meng both like quietness, so they don't have a housekeeper or nanny in their villa. But they have part-time workers, who take care of all the meals and cleaning. Breakfast is already on the table, so it's only natural that the part-time workers will retire.
Yuan Tian was so excited while eating the three-piece set of meat buns, soy milk and fried egg that Xiao Jing burst into tears.
"I want to eat it so much, so much, so much..."
Yuan Tian: “…………” Can this naughty kid stop nagging?
Tang Yang, who was sitting opposite: “…” So pitiful, I really want to feed him but he has to pretend that he doesn’t see ghosts, what should I do…
The last bit of fear he had for the little ghost finally disappeared completely at this moment. Tang Yang tightened the spoon, thinking that he would have to ask an expert to see if he could help the little ghost have a good rebirth, preferably one that would not have to worry about food and clothing in the next life.
Since he was going to play the role of a bodyguard, he naturally had to go in and out with his employer. After breakfast, Yuan Tian took Xiao Jing and got into Tang Yang's car as a matter of course, and asked considerately: "Do you need me to be your driver?"
Tang Yang looked at his pale face and the kid beside him who was whining about not having breakfast, and refused decisively: "No need."
The car arrived safely at the company, a building in the city center. Xiao Jing didn't like sunlight, so Yuan Tian motioned him to attach it to his phone case before getting off the car. Last night, he drew a talisman in the case, just to make it convenient for his little ghost to hide in it at any time.
As soon as he got off the car, Yuan Tian moved his fingers and then frowned slightly.
According to Tang Meng, her brother's company had a robber who accidentally broke into the company and died. After that, strange things happened one after another. For example, an employee who worked overtime at night took the elevator to the non-existent 18th floor, the office printer was running automatically without anyone, and a female employee in the company had her skirt lifted up in the elevator.
After these things were spread, the company was in a panic, and employees took sick leave one after another, and did not dare to go to the company at all. So her brother simply asked the company employees to work from home for three days, during which time he planned to find a Taoist priest to fool around and go through the motions.
In Tang Meng's opinion, her brother didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and when the company was in trouble, her brother was on a business trip and didn't see it with his own eyes. He probably invited the Taoist priest to come just to reassure the employees.
Tang Meng didn't believe it at first, thinking that someone was playing tricks on her. Until she saw her friend being possessed by a ghost and saw a ghost with her own eyes.
The aura of this building is a bit gloomy. This is Yuan Tian’s first impression of this building.
He looked at Tang Yang, who was upright and without any evil spirit, and asked, "Brother Tang, how long have you not been to the company?"
Tang Yang glanced at him and said, "I came here yesterday, but because I didn't bring my key, I just looked outside the door and didn't go in."
No wonder there is no trace of Yin Qi. Yuan Tian sighed in his heart, this person is really lucky. If he goes in, it will be difficult to get out. However, this place is full of Yin Qi, and there are probably many ghosts. Why do they gather here...
While he was thinking, a serious voice came to his ears.
"Just follow me for a while."
He looked up at Tang Yang, somewhat puzzled by what he meant. Could this man be trying to protect him?
Before he could think about it, he saw two people walking over from a distance. One was dressed in a suit and had an ordinary appearance, with a serious face. The other was a middle-aged man, a little thin, with a fierce look in his eyes and a drooping mouth, looking unhappy. Looking at his attire, his half-long hair was tied into a low ponytail at the back of his head, he was wearing a dark blue Taoist robe, and carrying a large backpack, which was full of equipment.
Yuan Tian took a look at the label on the sleeve of the clothes, which was Kongmen Temple. He lowered his eyelids, somewhat glad that he was able to keep to himself when he was in the sect and rarely saw outsiders.
"Mr. Tang, this is Taoist Master Yunzhi from Kongmen Temple." The man in the suit introduced the person to them in a low voice, then looked at Yuan Tian in confusion.
Tang Yang nodded to Taoist Yunzhi first, then introduced the man in the suit: "Xiao Li, this is Yuan..."
"A Yuan." Yuan Tian looked at Tang Yang and said with a smile, "Brother Tang, just call me A Yuan."
Tang Yang was stunned for a moment, then he hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "A Yuan."
Xiao Li was still polite and said, "Hello, Mr. Yuan, I am Li Qiu, Mr. Tang's secretary."
"Hello." Yuan Tian greeted him with a smile, then looked at Taoist Master Yunzhi, who had a curious look on his face, and waved: "Hello, Taoist Master."
Taoist Master Yunzhi stared at him for a few seconds before finally nodding and saying, "Without further delay, I'll leave right away. Do you want to stay here or follow me in?"
Tang Yang glanced at Yuan Tian and said without hesitation: "I'll go in, Yuan and Xiao Li stay outside."
"That won't work," Yuan Tian said righteously, "I am your bodyguard now, and my duty is to protect your personal safety!"
Tang Yang was somewhat helpless. The kid was already possessed by a ghost and was in poor health, yet he followed him into a place that was obviously haunted. Wasn't this courting death?
He pointed at Taoist Master Yunzhi, who was taking out a peach wood sword, talisman paper, and other items from his bag, and reminded him, "My company has been in trouble recently. The employees say that there are ghosts here."
It's just right to be haunted! Yuan Tian looked at him seriously and said, "When you take money from someone, you should be loyal to him. Tang Meng hired me to be your personal bodyguard, and I can't let her down."
Taoist Master Yunzhi took the time to look at Yuan Tian with a little more appreciation in his eyes. The kid was quite strong-willed.
Xiao Li was also quite surprised, and even had the urge to applaud him. It was rare to find such professional people these days.
Tang Yang was also surprised for a moment, but he quickly reacted and gestured "two". He said, "I will give you double what she gives you. My request is that you stand here and don't move. You are not allowed to enter the building."
Double...
Yuan Tian blinked her eyes again and again, feeling a little moved.
The phone case vibrated quietly at this time, and Yuan Tian came back to his senses. He smiled at Tang Yang and said, "Wait for me a moment, I'll make a call."
After saying that, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.
In a short while, the people present heard him talking to the phone with a bright smile: "Hey, Tang Meng, your brother said he would give me double the reward and asked me not to follow him... What, you will give me three times?"
The child looked at Tang Yang again, hesitantly and harmlessly: "Well...your sister gave you a bit too much, do you want to increase it a bit..."
Tang Yang: “…………” Suddenly he had the urge to throw this kid into a den of ghosts.
