Volume 1 Chapter 13: A Helping Hand

  Inside the Strangers' Club.

  Lawyer Cheng's hoarse and helpless voice still echoed softly around the hall, "Although we found a medical scissors and countless black blood in the bathroom, but apart from that, we didn't find the woman who made the scream!"

  "You'll never find it, no ordinary person can!" Ding Xiaomao muttered to himself.

  "At that time, although we felt very strange and frightened about this matter, my brother and I discussed it and decided not to report it to the police. Instead, we chose to keep it confidential and suppress it in our hearts. At the same time, we also asked those partners not to mention this matter, otherwise our hotel business would definitely be affected!"

  Ding Xiaomao nodded and asked, "Then what? It can't be over just like that, right? I think this matter is actually just the beginning of a nightmare, isn't it?"

  Cheng said, "Yes! You're right! After my brother and I cleaned up all the bloodstains and that medical scissors from the scene, we specially invited the feng shui master who came before to make some changes to the layout of the hotel. We thought everything was fine and we could rest easy from then on, but unexpectedly... just two days later, another strange thing happened!"

  "Did you hear the crying sound again?" This time it was Kong He who asked.

  Cheng lawyer shook his head and said: "No!"

  "Found the blue-blooded person?" Kong He asked for the second time.

  "Of course not!" Lawyer Cheng shook his head as before.

  "Is it that you finally found a condom in the bathroom?" Kong He said, still unwilling to give up.

  “……”

  This time even Jiang Qitian couldn't help but want to kill him.

  Attorney Cheng was speechless from Kong He's words. But this way, the atmosphere on the scene wasn't so depressing anymore. Then Attorney Cheng sighed and said, "Actually, if you've read the newspapers over the past few days, you would know about this matter!"

  "Ah, I see!" Soon someone recalled the content of the newspaper following Attorney Cheng's words, "I heard that a restaurant in the east of the city had several days where people found hair, fingernails, and sweat stains in their food. Could it be...?"

  "Not bad!" Lawyer Cheng felt his mouth getting more and more bitter, "That wine shop is actually run by my younger brother!"

  Many people gasped in shock after hearing this.

  "After a while, the man asked again: 'Have you investigated whether it was the chef's problem?'"

  "At first, my brother and I thought it was just a careless mistake by the chef," said Lawyer Cheng, shaking his head. "After the incident, we not only severely criticized him but also deducted his salary. However, the problem persisted the next day! We had no choice but to replace him with another head chef, but the result was the same. In the end, we replaced three chefs in a row, but..."

  Ding Xiaomao slapped his palm, "But the problem will still arise, right?"

  Cheng's expression looked like he was about to go crazy, he tilted his head and finished the last mouthful of wine, sighing and saying: "Mr. Ding, that's the whole story, can you help me?"

  Ding Xiaomao's eyes sparkled with excitement as he involuntarily reached back and patted the yellow cloth package on his body, saying: "No problem, I'll help you!"

  Apart from Ding Xiaomao, seven or eight listeners also chimed in at the same time, "Count us in! We'll definitely help you get to the bottom of this!"

  Kong He burst out laughing and patted his chest, saying loudly: "Not bad! And there's me too!"

  Right after that, another person patted Lawyer Cheng's shoulder and said, "Don't worry! With so many people here, I believe at least more than half of them will be very sympathetic to your situation and interested in this matter." Saying this, the person turned to all the listeners and exhorted: "Everyone, don't just crowd around here today. Why not go with Lawyer Cheng to that wine house right now and see what's going on? Those who are capable can lend a hand, those who aren't can cheer on this little brother from Maoshan Sect. In short, whether it's human or ghost, let's expose it today and see if it really has three heads and six arms! What do you all say?"

  "Good!" The crowd responded thunderously, and even Wang Shiyu couldn't help but radiate an excited glow on his face.

  No matter how terrifying the thing is, with so many people present, even a girl would join in the chorus. Jiang Qi Cai, who was hiding behind, also began to find this thing more and more interesting, of course, he nodded along with everyone else.

  Cheng was moved by everyone's enthusiasm.

  He is no longer downcast, but has stood up from the ground again. With gratitude, he walked to Ding Xiaomao's face and firmly grasped Ding Xiaomao's hand.

  "Thank you!" He glanced around, "Thanks everyone!"

  "Don't be so polite!"

  "Right, then let's not stay here and waste any more time. Let's set off now, what does everyone think?"

  "Good!"

  Ding Xiaomao also said hastily: "We can't delay, let's go!"

  "Hmm!"

  Then, a group of dozens of people rushed out of the club in an imposing manner, following Lawyer Cheng to the wine building. Seeing the murderous expressions on these people's faces, they even attracted the special attention of the patrol police along the way, who thought that the Falun Gong remnants had begun to gather illegally and make trouble again.

  ……

  Half an hour later.

  Fortunately, the location of this wine house is not too far from the "Alien Club". Everyone followed Lawyer Cheng and chatted all the way, giving him a lot of comfort. Especially when Lawyer Cheng saw Ding Xiaomao walking with the wind, his mysterious and unpredictable appearance made him feel even more at ease.

  Instead, Jiang Qicai and Wang Shiyu walked behind the crowd, and were stopped by a kind middle-aged uncle who said: "You two are still students, right? We're going to do something earth-shaking now, you'd better not follow us!"

  This middle-aged uncle looks honest, but the words that come out of his mouth are like those of a bank robber. Jiang Qicai sighed in his heart, "Do I really look that young?"

  Wang Shiyu glanced at Jiang Qicai and waved his hand: "It's okay, we're not afraid!"

  "Aren't you afraid? You two young lovers don't know anything, let me tell you, it's better for you to find a place to talk about love early on. If you get scared later, then..."

  "Huh, who dropped money on the ground? Is it yours?" As soon as Jiang Qicai finished saying this, he took advantage of the middle-aged uncle's momentary distraction to bend down and grab Wang Shiyu's soft hand, then rushed to the front of the crowd.

  Wang Shiyu suddenly felt the temperature of Jiang Qicai's palm, and recalled what the middle-aged uncle had just said. For some reason, her heart was pounding with a thumping sound.

  "This is it!" came the voice of Attorney Tong from up ahead.

  Everyone stopped in their tracks upon hearing this.

  Jiang Qicai and Wang Shiyu slightly raised their heads, seeing a neon sign that read "Tian Shang Ren Jian"!
