Chapter 78: He still wants to keep that broken duck.
Fortunately, Fu Xingwei's car was parked not far away.
Shi Can took a fire extinguisher from the trunk of the car and sprayed it at the smoking trash can, eliminating the risk of fire.
Lin Zhuyue stood by in a panic, holding a cigarette box. She wanted to take out a cigarette and put it in her mouth to calm her nerves.
When they went upstairs again, the two explained how they almost started a fire downstairs and used Fu Xingwei's car fire extinguisher to put out the fire, and apologized.
Lin Zhuyue also took the initiative to promise compensation:
"Teacher, I'm sorry, I will buy you a new fire extinguisher."
Fu Xingwei was about to speak.
Shi Can tossed the cigarette box in his hand and raised his eyebrows.
"Then I'll buy you a pack of cigarettes? Can you just buy a pack of soft Zhonghua cigarettes? Don't always smoke these cheap ones."
Fu Xingwei: “…”
Sometimes he could easily understand why so many people in the academy would fight with Shi Can, and he could even sympathize with them. Shi Can was a punching bag turned into a spirit, completely asking for a beating, and anyone who saw him wanted to punch him twice.
Fu Xingwei suppressed his anger and said to Lin Zhuyue:
"No need to pay. The Spiritual Master's Mansion has a reserve of fire extinguishers. I can just grab one from the warehouse. You have to be careful. Next time, don't throw your cigarette into the trash can before you put it out. There are still a lot of flammable materials in the trash can."
Lin Zhuyue nodded like pounding garlic.
Fu Xingwei snatched the cigarette box from Shi Can and said:
"You don't have to pay for the cigarettes. I'll just smoke this. Didn't you just take one?"
"No, teacher, let me compensate you."
Shi Can came closer, his eyes as cunning as a fox's.
"You're a working-class person who earns a fixed salary of 11,000 yuan a month, and you're constantly being deducted from your salary because I violated school rules. If it weren't for the mission bonuses, you'd be working in debt. I'm really embarrassed to take your cigarettes and not pay you back."
"Well, I'll compensate you with a pack of cigarettes, and you can talk to my dad about it. Tell him I developed psychological problems while doing the mission, and I need to raise a Call duck to heal them..."
Shi Chan still wants to keep the noisy duck.
There was no way around it. The Call duck's large white breast, pigeon-toed feet, and adorable short beak were simply too charming. Shi Can just loved this kind of chubby pet.
Fu Xingwei lowered his voice and said:
"I think it might be more effective if you let Lin Zhuyue speak up than if I did. There's no need to pretend to have mental problems, just ask directly."
Shi Can felt that Fu Xingwei was right.
Next, Fu Xingwei went to talk to Sun Kunyao with a confidentiality agreement.
"Ms. Sun, over the next week, our Spiritual Master's House will work hard to remove the altar upstairs in your home. During this period, although the probability is small, there is still a risk of the dead spirits losing control and running wild. Therefore, you and your neighbors will temporarily need to live outside, and the Spiritual Master's House will provide a subsidy."
Fu Xingwei opened the folder containing the confidentiality agreement and handed over a black rollerball pen. He even considerately pressed the tip of the black pen out and said,
"The reason we gave your neighbor for moving is that the house under renovation has fire safety issues. Please cooperate and do not reveal the truth."
Fu Xingwei paused and added:
"As my students have said, it's unlikely that Chen Junhao will be sentenced to death. However, we will punish him severely and make him pay you as much compensation as possible for violating Qin Sibo's right to life. The Spiritual Master Mansion can also guarantee that even if he survives, his life will not be easy."
Sun Kunyao asked, "Can't I stay with Sibo?"
"I'm sorry, I can't."
Fu Xingwei took back the confidentiality agreement signed by Sun Kunyao and said,
"Please live a good life with your daughter and get over the grief as soon as possible."
After Fu Xingwei turned around, Sun Kunyao covered her mouth and cried silently.
Lin Zhuyue's eyes were also wet.
Shi Can took out a tissue and used it to wipe her tears. He was afraid that the tissue would rub Lin Zhuyue's skin, so he moved very gently and said:
"Your inspiration is too strong. You need to learn to control your emotions. Spiritual masters deal with matters of life and death. When it comes to life and death, people are always going to be very sad. If you constantly have strong resonance and can't control your emotions, your heart will easily become sick."
Lin Zhuyue was still crying.
Shi Can had no choice but to pull her downstairs first.
The further away from Sun Kunyao, the resonance that Lin Zhuyue felt due to inspiration would be weakened a lot.
Not long after, Fu Xingwei also came downstairs. He started the car and asked Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can to get in. He had to stay in Yebei City to follow up on the mission, but the two students had classes for the second week of the third semester tomorrow, so he had to take them to the airport to catch the nearest flight back to Linhai City.
Shi Can took the initiative to sit in the passenger seat, poked at the car navigation system, and set the destination, which was a breakfast restaurant.
Fu Xingwei asked, "Want to have breakfast?"
"No, I just think the owner of this breakfast restaurant might also need to sign a confidentiality agreement. I need to go over and take a look."
Shi Can took advantage of Fu Xingwei not driving yet, quickly opened the car door and got out, returned to the back seat, sat next to Lin Zhuyue, and said,
"If he really has to sign, you should really treat me to breakfast. According to the rules of the Spiritual Master's Mansion, you can get a bonus of over 4,000. But I am a magnanimous person. I will pay for breakfast for you and your colleagues from the Spiritual Master's Mansion today. Please save some money. After all, it's time to talk about marriage, right?"
Fu Xingwei, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was silent.
After a while, Fu Xingwei asked:
"How do you know everything?"
He never revealed his relationship status to his students. He taught students during the day and often worked night shifts at night. His life was no different from that of a single man.
"With what happened with Director Yi, my family has investigated all the spiritual masters who teach at the Spiritual Master Academy and do not have aristocratic family backgrounds. You are also included in the scope of the investigation."
Shi Chan moved closer to the front seat and said,
"I have a 20-carat royal sapphire from Mogu. It's very pure and has great fire. I'll sell it to you at the price I paid for it five years ago, Call Duck..."
Fu Xingwei: "...You're not going to keep the 20-carat gemstone for your wedding? You can't go to Mogu anymore. The price of Mogu gemstones has increased a lot. It's much harder to buy than before."
Fu Xingwei did not blame Shi Can.
Shi Can is the only child of the Shi family, and now the Shi family also has to protect Lin Zhuyue, so it is normal for them to dig up all the information about everyone around them. If they had dug up the information earlier, Shi Can would not have faced the crisis of being separated in the underworld, with no one to rescue him, and almost losing his life.
Shi Can sat next to Lin Zhuyue, took out his sunglasses from the storage bag, unfolded them and put them on, and answered casually:
"It's okay, I still have a 23-carat one."
Sometimes Fu Xingwei really wants to curse the rich and call them inhumane.
"Just give it to me at the current market value."
Fu Xingwei stepped on the accelerator and said,
"Let's not talk about the duck. I don't want to offend your parents."
They soon arrived at the place where Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can had breakfast yesterday.
The breakfast restaurant was still busy. The owner brewed a pot of newly bought tea, a whole tea bud with a chestnut aroma, and asked regular customers to try it. If the regular customers were satisfied, he would add the tea to the menu.
After seeing Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can enter the door, the boss hurried over to greet them:
"Oh, good morning. Good morning. Mr. Chen is not here?"
"Mr. Chen can't come."
Lin Zhuyue introduced Fu Xingwei to the boss.
"This is our teacher. I have something important to discuss with you. Is there a place where we can talk?"
The boss respected Chen Junhao very much, so he was very kind to the customers who had come to the restaurant with Chen Junhao. He agreed almost without thinking:
"Yes, yes. Let's go upstairs and talk."
There was a regular customer in Xianglan Room at that time, so the owner took Lin Zhuyue and his group to Cuizhu Room next door.
After sitting down, Fu Xingwei, Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can showed their special certificates to the boss. The boss realized that things might not be simple, and the smile on his face faded.
"I'll just get straight to the point. My student said Chen Junhao helped you solve a problem and asked you to keep it confidential."
Fu Xingwei asked,
"Is it something to do with the dead?"
The boss looked solemn:
"Are you guys...really from the National Security Bureau? You're not lying, are you?"
Fu Xingwei said to the boss:
"You can call this city's national security department. The phone number can be found online. After confirming our identities, there's still time to answer your questions."
The boss, skeptical, called the Yebei City National Security Bureau to inquire, but was told to wait. About ten minutes later, the number returned the call. The person on the other end confirmed the identities of Fu Xingwei, Lin Zhuyue, and Shi Can, and asked the boss to cooperate with their investigation.
"Alas, this matter..."
The boss sighed and then spoke,
"My family had a dog that was run over by a car. The dog recognized people when it was alive, but not after it died. Several times when my old lady was going up and down the stairs, she felt something grabbing her trouser legs. Then it bit her, frightening her so much that she fell down the stairs."
"Mr. Chen's client lives in the same building as mine. On his way downstairs, he picked up my elderly wife and even took care of the dog issue. I was very grateful to him and wanted to give him some money, but he said he wasn't an expert in this field, but his master said he couldn't refuse, so he accepted 200 yuan as a token of appreciation. He's a very kind and enthusiastic person."
Fu Xingwei didn't say anything.
Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can were also silent.
"Did he commit a crime?"
The boss tried to ask,
"Is it serious?"
"I'm sorry, we can't tell you. Please keep your mouth shut about him helping you and don't tell anyone."
Fu Xingwei handed over the confidentiality agreement and said,
"Please sign the agreement and place your fingerprints on all five fingers of your right hand."
The boss signed and stamped his handprint, then said:
"Mr. Chen is a really good person. If he did something wrong, it definitely wasn't intentional. Don't be too harsh on him."
As if afraid that the boss would continue to plead, Fu Xingwei checked the signatures and fingerprints on the confidentiality agreement, and after confirming that there was no problem, he took the students away.
Lin Zhuyue couldn't help but sigh and said:
“Does anyone still think he’s a good person?”
"Of course there are."
Shi Can said gloomily,
"After all, he's created a good persona for himself. Unless you're someone who knows him inside and out, everyone else thinks he's a good person, right? Some people are just like that, with a human skin and a beastly heart, a beast in human clothing."
Fu Xingwei sent Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can to the airport, and transferred 500 yuan to Lin Zhuyue via mobile phone, asking them to check in, go through security and buy something to eat.
Shi Chan dragged the suitcase and walked in front, asking as he walked:
"Do you like sapphires?"
"You want me to compete with the teacher?"
Lin Zhuyue asked with great concern,
"Are you short of pocket money? I have your mother's Black Gold card. I'll give it back to you, but don't use it to buy Call Ducks after you get it, okay?"
Shi Can was almost pissed off by Lin Zhuyue's invulnerability to swords and guns, and said angrily:
"...I'm going to buy Call ducks! I'm going to buy twenty of them! When I get married, I'm going to hatch twenty more. I'm going to have them wake my partner up every morning. If you marry me, you won't get a good night's sleep!"
Lin Zhuyue couldn't understand why Shi Can wanted to harm his target:
"What if she asks you to choose between Call Duck and her?"
"...Choosing a wife."
