Chapter 38: Chen Zheng's Disappearance

  Uploaded, but forgot to set auto-publish...

  He's really afraid that something related to himself has gone wrong, such as the antlers of a Tibetan antelope... Then he became curious again: "Death isn't a big deal, is it?"

  "This is already the sixth one!" The bald man said with a wry smile: "It's really damn weird!"

  "Could it be the Jin Hua Building?"

  The bald man nodded silently, focusing on driving without saying a word. Wen Fei, however, became thoroughly curious about the legend of Jin Hua Building, which was widely spread in the city. Of course, since it was so widespread, it inevitably led to one problem - there were many versions. But without exception, when the foundation of this building was dug, eight large coffins were unearthed...

  "Has anyone ever really dug up a few coffins in that place?" Wen Fei asked with some curiosity.

  "There are nine of us in total," said the bald-headed man with a gloomy tone. The car headed towards New City, and as it went further, there were fewer and fewer vehicles on the road, making the streets seem unusually wide and deserted. A huge amount of money had been invested in New City, but after several years, it was still as desolate as ever. Last time I chatted with Huang Sheng, he told me that the city government thought the planning of New City was too advanced, not matching the actual situation of this city at all, which is why they wanted to develop the old city area instead!

  But in the rumors of small talk, it is said that the feng shui of Xincheng District is not good, built on a chaotic burial mound and so on... However, the development of this new district was indeed full of twists and turns, almost driving the former mayor who led the development to death.

  The new city development had just begun, still in the stage of flattening the land, when several large tombs were dug up. As a result, the cultural relics department from the province came down and said that they suspected there was a large tomb group in the local area. They wanted to seal off the place and conduct archaeological excavations. It was noisy for more than half a year, and it's unknown how much effort the unlucky mayor put in behind the scenes before the archaeological team finally announced that the tombs in this area did not have great archaeological value...

  Not long after the resumption of work, several large coffins were dug up in the Jin Hua Building, which was dominated by Huang Sheng's Victory Real Estate Company, and they were all placed upright.

  In short, this new city district has been unlucky since its construction began and it is unknown how many problems have arisen in the end. Not only did the funds far exceed the plan, but also a corruption case was exposed, involving many officials in the city. Soon after, the mayor was transferred to the Provincial Meteorological Bureau as its director.

  It wasn't long after these things happened, Wen Fei didn't care about these matters. However, every time they had meals, his mother would enthusiastically talk about these rumors... So Wen Fei knew some of them, and even the rumors said that the mayor and Vice Secretary Chen didn't get along well...

  The car is running very fast in the new city district, and except for some large trucks that think the road here is wide enough, there are really not many people passing by.

  Arrived at Jin Hua Building, this building was originally supposed to be built into more than 30 floors, but later only 17 floors were hastily capped, and I don't know how much old blood Huang Sheng spit out behind his back. This thirty-story building is completely different from the ten-story building in terms of foundation excavation or material design, and the investment is much larger!

  The building is almost completed and has been capped. The finishing work is being carried out. However, today, several workers were installing elevators when an accident suddenly occurred, resulting in one death and three injuries.

  The bald man drove the car to the entrance of Jin Hua Building, which was already very lively. There were not only ambulances and police cars, but also several reporters carrying cameras and microphones. However, these people were all blocked outside and could not enter at all.

  The bald man beside Huang Sheng seemed to have a high status, leading the way. Wen Fei walked in easily, but was stopped by a small reporter with golden-rimmed glasses, who shouted: "Sir, what is your identity? How many people were killed or injured inside the building?" As he spoke, a microphone was thrust under Wen Fei's nose.

  Wen Fei was stunned, and only then did he react to the fact that it was a reporter. He really didn't have any experience dealing with reporters, and suddenly became flustered. But then he saw the bald man's face turn black, and he grabbed Wen Fei and pulled him inside. Of course, there were staff members from the Victory Property company who blocked the reporter.

  "Don't mind these reporters, they're all rascals!" The bald man said indignantly: "They just talk nonsense and write randomly."

  Wen Fei glanced sideways and saw that even the bald-headed man, who looked like a thug no matter how you looked at him, was saying that these reporters were thugs. It can be seen how formidable these reporters are!

  They quickened their pace and walked into the building, directly entering the security guard's room. There, they saw Huang Sheng, who was normally a majestic and dignified big boss, looking disheveled with a face full of despair, his eyes red-rimmed, and his hair messy like a bird's nest.

  When he saw him like this, Wen Fei was really startled. But seeing Huang Sheng see Wen Fei coming, he was overjoyed and immediately came up to greet him, tightly grasping both of Wen Fei's hands. Just like the villagers welcoming the Red Army back in the day, he vigorously shook Wen Fei's hands: "Younger brother, you've finally arrived! Older brother has been waiting for you for half a day!"

  "What's going on?" Wen Fei asked strangely. In Wen Fei's opinion, Huang Sheng had done such a big business, even if Jinhua Building lost money, it wouldn't be so bad that he looked like a dead man.

  "Something's happened, something big has happened! Alas..." He sighed and said to Wen Fei: "He was acting strangely and didn't know what to do, so he snuck out of the sanatorium alone at night and ran to this godforsaken place..."

  Wen Fei let out a cry of surprise, and then was shocked. Chen Zheng and that kid actually ran into this building? What time is it now? Where are they now?

  "Lost, can't find..." Huang Sheng's face was gloomy. Wen Fei only then understood why this guy looked so mournful, it turned out that Chen Zheng had run into the building and actually gone missing? His heart also sank afterwards.

  It turns out that Wen Fei owes the Chen family a lot. Not only did he cheat Chen Zhenghe's protective jade away, but also took away the secret manual of the Chen family's old master from their home. This matter is indeed not very righteous, and Wen Fei has been wanting to find an opportunity to make amends, even boasting in front of the old lady that he would ensure Chen Zhenghe's safety. But just a few months have passed, and Chen Zhenghe has already gotten into such trouble...

  "What's going on? Tell me in detail." Wen Fei said in a low voice.

  It turned out that since Chen Zhenghe had Wen Fei's three amulets, his days have been much better, although he still often sees ghosts. But with the amulets around, those things didn't dare to disturb him. So this guy doesn't stay in the sanatorium as often and goes out from time to time. However, unexpectedly, just yesterday, not long after an accident occurred in this building, Huang Sheng suppressed the news of the accident, but Chen Zhenghe found out and actually ran alone into Jin Hua Building at midnight...
