Chapter 546: The Odd Hunting Trip Story
After solving the rat monster in Tangjia Vige, Li Mazi and I immediately returned to Wuhan City. We also happened to finish a resenting child ghost along the way.
When I returnedto my antique shop, I resumed my pleasantandquiet life like a wild crane moving through silver clouds. Li Maziwenthomeandcontinuedto pamperhis wife like a servile eunuch. However, he would randomlyvisit my shop.
On the day I thought Li Mazi woulde, I hadnned to buytwo bottles of Blue Wine to drink with him.
As soon as I opened the shop, I saw Li Mazi. He was sitting at my shop front, leisurely drinking West Lake Longjing tea while checking out the beauties walking on the street with his despicable eyes.
This man would never change his nature. I wondered if Ru Xue would ask him to knend ask for forgivenessifshe knew about this. Anyway, Li Mazi still had his conscience.When he sawme, he offered me breakfast.
I sat next to him and bitinto myhamburger.I asked, Howisyour shopdoing?
Oh well, its hard to fool people nowadays. I cant sell many of my counterfeits. Ihavent earned adime these days. Li Mazi pouted. Hedidnt sound pleased.
I gave him a faint smile. Ihadalready guessed that. Our business was unpredictable. We couldnt guess when the next case woulde. Fortunately, we had earned a lot after each case. We were somewhat rich now.
Ru Xue took Li Meng and little Nianchu to her grandparents ce, Li Mazi told me.
At the same time, Yin Xinyue had to staywithherpany these days. She was busy, too. Li Mazi and I couldnt put up with our boredom anymore. Should we go out and look around for something to do?suggestedLi Mazi.
IllcallSenior Shuto see if he has something for us to do. I smiled.
I hadnt heard wind aboutSenior Shufor quite a long time. I was curious to know where he was, or if hewas stillhiding from his enemy.
Right whenI was about to callSenior Shu, the telephone in my shop rang. Li Maziwenttopick upthe phone. After a few seconds, he threw me an ambiguous look.
It seemedwehada case!
The feeling was simr to someonegiving you a pillow when you needed to rest the most. Iwentto receive the phone. This is Zhang Jiulin. Please brief me on the events that have happened to you. Has your houseexperiencedparanormal activities? Do you haveanytrouble-making antiques?
As soon as Isaid that, the person from the other line blurted, Mr. Zhang, I have something I need your help with! Please ept this case!
After saying that, he added, ItwasSenior Shu. He told me to contact you.
Perhaps he was afraid that I wouldnt help him.
I patted my thighand thoughtthat this old man and I had an agreement overtelepathy. He had introduced a new case to me.
However, I was still afraid thatSenior Shuwasfoolingme. He had tricked me with a few difficult cases already. I had to make a mental note. Then, Iasked theperson on the lo tell me what he had experienced.
Its hard to exin clearlyina few sentences. Pleasee to me personally. Then, he hung up the call. A momentter, I received a message. Theaddress was somewhere in Shenyang.
My excitement faded after reading the text.
This personisinteresting,I thought to myself.
He askedforafavor and soundedso arrogant. If hewasntintroduced bySenior Shu, I wouldnt have paid attention tohis case.
It was autumn,and thndabovethe Yellow River was golden. After crossing the Shanhai Pass, the temperature dropped all of a sudden. I shivered inadvertently. I was lucky that Li Mazi had expected this. He gave me a cotton coat from his bag, which gave me instant warmth.
It was a strenuous journey to Shenyang. I calledthe clientwhen we arrived. Soon, a BMW appeared in front of us. A young man wearing a ck suit got out of the car. Heworea pair of sunssesand walkedconfidently with a straight back. It seemed he was an important figure.
Before the man arrived, Li Mazi took the time to whisper to my ear, That man looks rich! Remember to charge him more.
I nodded. We talked to the man in the ck suit, then followed his car. He droveto the highway. After a while, we reached the suburban area of Shenyang.
Brother, why did you call for my help? I drove the car parallel to his androlleddown the windowto talkto him.
He gave me an unexpected answer.Sir, I dont know. When yougothere, my boss will tell you.
It turned out he was just a footman. I didnt ask himanything else and checkedaround. We continued to drive for a while. Finally,froma distance, I saw arge-scale building that looked like one of those ancient imperial pcesortowers. The scene was magnificent.
Thepce looks familiar. I think Ive seen it before,Li Mazi saidexcitedlyas he craned his neck.
I turned toassess the ce. Then, I remembered that we were in Shenyang. Those should be the Eastern QingTombs. The founder of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Nurhaci,was buried there.
I continued to observethescene respectfully. However, it was strange.I had recognized wisps of ck air emitting from the Eastern QingTombs.
Although the tombs would gradually have Yin energy, this ce was an imperial tomb where theEmperor,the Son of Heaven, was buried! The Yin energy here should be white or purple.SinceIhad seenckair,itsignaledthe existence of an evilspirit!
Through the window of my car, I noticed a pedestrian.I had just taken a nce,but I could feel thick Yin energy from him. It seemed he was being possessed by something foul.
I thoughtabout pullingover to have a look and see if I could help him, but the young man in the suit had left me far behind. I was afraid that I would lose sight of him, so I had to continue driving.I feltmore curious aboutthosetombs.
The cars gradually left the urban area. The scenes alongside the road had turned into mountains and waters. Finally, the young man in the BMW pulled to a full stop.
I looked around. This ravine looked like a bucket that carried treasures. There was a mountain that stood behind, andlow hills in the front. A long river was on the left, with smallnks onthe right. It was an area ofrare and excellent geomancy.
Looking at this ravine, I strongly believed that theclienthad abigbackground. Behind the ravine, we saw a vi. From a distance, I saw that the vi was built in a traditional style. The area it was situated in wasnt small, either. At firstnce, it looked like a pce.
I had a wry smile.We both stand when we pee, so why is the difference between us sobig?
Before we entered thplex, a fat man that looked smart and savvy came to greet us.Whenhe knew that I was Zhang Jiulin, he was soexcited. He pulledmy hand to usher meintothe lobby to talk.
When wesat down, he introduced himself. Im Ye Chen. Im the onewhocalled you for help.
Ithought,Dont babble nonsense and get to the point!
Could you tell me what happened? You sounded panickedon thephone.
After listeningto me, Ye Chens face darkened in just a second. It seemed he didnt know what to do with his hands, so hejustwiggledhis fingers on the table.After keepingsilent for a few seconds, he started to talk. Itsnot me whos in trouble. Its my boss. His name is Jin Shengqing. It seems he has provoked something foul. Im in charge of contacting you for help
I was more surprised.That Jin invited us here to help, butwhy does itlooklike we have to contact him through his agent?
Ye Chentoldus more details. My bossworksin the stock business. He loves outdoor activities, especially archery. When he has free time, hegoesto Mount Changbai nearby to hunt.Around half a month ago, my bossbroughthis bodyguards with him to go hunting. They went to Mount Changbai.Thattime, theyhada big harvest with dozens of wild animals. Boss Jin was happy. He gave big bonuses to his bodyguards.However, when he came back, he became strange. At first, hispersonalityseemed to have changed. He became hot-tempered. However, we thought that hewas feelingsome pressure, so we didnt pay attention to it.His situation got worse after that. When heseeshis friends or even his family, he loses control and hits them.
He continued the story.Since his condition isnt right, I have to stay in the vi with some bodyguards to take care of him. The other night, he suddenly roared in his room. Then, he began to sob loudly. When we heard themotion, we went to his room to check. Our boss was sitting on the ground with one hand supporting his chin. His other hand was making an orchid hand gesture. He looked so aggrieved when he wiped histears. He didnt look like our boss anymore. He looked like a whining girl. When we attempted togoto him, he turned and talked to us in a female voice!
Ye Chens voice trembled when he came to this part. His facebegan to sweat. He gulped his saliva then continued. I heard thatSenior Shuis good at solving these things. I contacted himand learned that he was about to takeaflight to Congo in Africa to avoid his enemy. He gave me your contact information.
After listening to Ye Chens story, Irecreatedthe images in my head. I suddenly felt a chill.
However, it wasnt that I hadnt experienced the same situation before. In the case of the embroidered shoes, Li Meng was possessed by a female ghost. I pulled myself together and asked Ye Chen, If Mr. Jin moves out of this vi, will it still happen?
Its useless. Weve tried all sorts ofthings. No matter where he is, he will act the same at night Then, Ye Chen grabbed my hand. Please help our boss!
I gave him a nod.Wheres Mr. Jin?
He went out for a walk. He knows youreingtoday. Hellbeback before twilight. Gentlemen, pleaserest first. When hees back, Ill notify you, said Ye Chen.
SinceYe Chen sounded emotional, I didnt askfor any more information.
