Chapter 14: Robbing the Rich to Help the Poor

  At this time, my phone started vibrating. In order to avoid others hearing the sound, I had always set it to vibrate mode. I quickly picked up the phone.

  "Hey, have you two found it? The big guy has already gone up, you guys think of a way to get out quickly, don't let him catch you!" Zhao Yu'er hastily hung up the phone.

  "Nie Yu, this old boss took our bracelets and we can't spoil him. Take this postal receipt!" Wu Shi Rong said, handing me the postal receipt, then picked up three stacks of cash and stuffed them into his clothes. My friend and I quickly closed the door and walked out, just as we opened the elevator door, the big man came up himself with a bucket of water, not seeing us two, he directly sent it to the boss's room.

  Before long, Wu Shi Rong and I saw Zhao Yu Er by the side of the road, her car was already parked beside a big tree waiting for us.

  "Did you get the stuff?" Zhao Yuer looked at us as we approached, rolled down the car window and took off her sunglasses.

  "We didn't get it, they've already mailed the thing away. But Wu Shi Rong seems to have made a fortune. Let's hurry and leave before they notice us!" Zhao Yun Er stepped on the gas pedal, and our car started like crazy. We circled around Ear Ring Road for a big lap, and Zhao Yun Er sent us to school.

  I and Wu Shi Rong returned to the dormitory, Zhao Yun Er had already gone home. Wu Shi Rong took out his backpack and put all the things we stole on his bed, 30,000 yuan, a postal receipt, several data books, and a name list. The items listed on the postal receipt were two pieces of jewelry, with clear attached photos of the originals, no need to think, they must be our bracelets, but the receiving address was in a place in Jiangxi, and the recipient's name was Luo Hao.

  The name list on the Huamin company's staff roster, apart from personal resumes, actually also included descriptions of the gu (poisonous insects) implanted in them. Different people had different types of gu implanted, with over 90% of employees having been implanted with gu.

  "I didn't expect their company to be so sinister, they've put a curse on all the employees, and if any of them disobey, they'll use the curse to control them!" Wu Shi Rong stared blankly at the name list, Zhou Wen's name was indeed on it, it seemed he hadn't lied.

  "They must have some earth-shattering secret in their company, otherwise why would they go to such great lengths to control the employees? They must be afraid that something will leak out and directly use Gu to kill people and destroy evidence." I took a look at the types of Gu above and was shocked to find that there were dozens of them, and except for the boss, all men and women had been implanted with Gu.

  "It seems that this boss is the one who's possessed, otherwise why wouldn't his name be here? We must find out what kind of evil they're doing in their company!" Wu Shi Rong picked up Li Lin's computer and started searching for Benyamin Company's corporate website.

  "Thanks for the money, boss with unknown name, 30,000 yuan is not a small amount, hehe. By the way, are we going to Jiangxi to find that person named Luo Hao and get our bracelet back?" Wu Shirong happily picked up the 30,000 yuan and started counting it.

  "Alright, now let's use that money to buy a computer, and the remaining money will be our travel expenses to Jiangxi. It's killing two birds with one stone! I've never stolen anything before, but this time I stole 30,000 yuan all at once!" I'm a bit worried that if we get caught by the police, it'll be troublesome.

  "Are you stupid? He took our ice jade bracelet, our bracelet is at least from the Ming Dynasty, now it's not certain but maybe it's priceless, what can we do with 30,000 yuan, besides he robbed us first, he doesn't dare to report to the police, don't worry!" Wu Shi Rong patted my shoulder and smiled.

  "Alright, since they won't blame us for being unfair anymore, let's go buy a computer now. Otherwise, we'll have to look at Li Lin's face every day!" After finishing speaking, I and Li Lin took the money, packed up our things, and walked out of the dormitory.

  The school is two streets east, which is the commercial street. The commercial street usually closes after 8 pm. There are many computer companies on the commercial street. We found the largest one and walked over. Wu Shi Rong walked at the front with his head held high and chest out.

  "Welcome! Please come in, sir!" Two salesgirls at the entrance were wearing short-sleeved T-shirts and blue miniskirts. They led us to the large hall inside, where there were all sorts of laptops on display, with prices ranging from high to low.

  "May I ask what price range you're looking for? You two look like students, are you from Haicheng University?" A beautiful salesgirl walked over.

  "Yes, we'll buy a moderately priced laptop, not too expensive." After finishing speaking, the female salesperson began to introduce us to the computer's performance and brand, etc. Finally, I and Wu Shi Rong chose one that was more or less suitable, and then had the system installed on the computer, installing some office software.

  "Thank you for your patronage, you are from Haicheng University, right? Almost all the customers who come to buy computers here are from Haicheng University. And I am also from Haicheng University." The beautiful salesgirl said with a smile, looking at Wu Shirong, and only then did I notice that this girl was also wearing thick glasses.

  "Yes, we are from Haicheng University. Are you also from Haicheng University? How come you're selling computers here?" Wu Shirong looked the beauty up and down.

  "I'm here to work and study, I can save my tuition fees while studying, which year are you from?" The beauty's eyes were fixed on Wu Shi Rong, I thought to myself, this is indeed a case of love at first sight.

  "My name is Wu Shi Rong, would you mind giving me your phone number, beautiful? Wu Shi Rong scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed."

  "My name is Zhao Lili, I'm a sophomore. If you have any problems with your computer, you can call me and I'll help you contact the after-sales service." After finishing speaking, Zhao Lili handed over her business card, which read: Sales Manager of XX Company! It was unbelievable that she had already become a sales manager. Wu Shirong and I happily took our computers back to the dormitory.

  In the bedroom, Wang Xuebing and Li Lin were reading books. When they saw us bringing a computer back, both of them came over to take a look.

  "What? Wu Shirong, I didn't think you could still afford a computer?" Li Lin said with a slanted gaze at the two of us.

  "How about this, my dad sent me some money, so I won't bother you again in the future. Still, thanks for your help, and I didn't waste your computer!" Wu Shi Rong said as we fiddled with the power cord on the computer, which started up as soon as it was plugged in.

  "Alright, if you guys don't know how to do something, I can teach you?" said Li Lin as he climbed onto the bed. Wu Shi Rong and I exchanged a glance at this weirdo.

  I and Wu Shi Rong spent 4,000 yuan buying a computer, and there are also 26,000 yuan that have been deposited separately into our two accounts. Now I also have my own small first pot of gold, although it didn't come from a legitimate channel, but it's enough to cover the travel expenses to Jiangxi.

  At night, I played games and watched movies with Wu Shi Rong until very late before going to sleep. It was already the second half of the night when I fell asleep. As soon as I lay down on the bed, the light had not gone out yet, and I felt a blur in front of my eyes, which was the light from the dormitory ceiling shining into my eyes. At this time, in the blurry vision, I felt that someone sat beside me, and I used all my strength to try to turn my head to see who it was, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't move. The person slowly lowered their head, and I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!

  "Nie Yu, take a look at who I am?" I couldn't open my eyes, but judging from the voice, it seemed like Second Madam's.

  "Second sister, is it you?" I anxiously asked.

  "Look at me again, who am I?" The blurry figure asked me another sentence. At this time, I actually opened my eyes and stared at her, only to find that it was the female ghost I had been dreaming about for the past few days.

  "Is that you? What brings you here?" I asked in surprise, my heart racing wildly. Oh no, I must be possessed by a ghost! How could all my talismans lose their effect? I remembered dreaming about this female ghost a few days ago and pasting talismans all over my bed, but how did they fail to work?

  "Nie Yu, we must find our biological parents, don't forget the goal we want to achieve, and there is a way to lift your little sister's curse." After she finished speaking, her face got closer and closer, almost sticking to mine, her hair was already on my ear, giving me a cool feeling.

  "Beautiful lady, please spare me, I beg of you. Please leave, I can't take it anymore. I'm a good person and have never done anything wrong. I know I was wrong to take someone else's money today, but can't I just return it tomorrow? Please let me off!" I pleaded with the female ghost in front of me, feeling utterly desperate. Every day, I was woken up by her harassment, driving me to the brink of madness.

  "Husband, what are you afraid of? I won't harm you. I know everything you do every day. You're doing this for your little sister, and I won't blame you. Also, if you go to Jiangxi, be careful, almost everyone there uses gu (a kind of poisonous insect) to curse people, and you might get hurt if you're not careful. If you're in danger, just think of me with all your might, and I'll come out to help you. Husband, I'm leaving now, sleep well!" After finishing speaking, the female ghost vanished without a trace.

  Waft after waft of white smoke floated by, I hastily turned my eyeballs around, she had already left, this time the dormitory door didn't open, it's really unknown how she walked out, could it be that I also fell under a curse? My heart couldn't help but jump in fright, still vowing to lift little sister's curse, yet every day being grabbed by a female ghost, when will I ever lift my own curse?

  The next morning, I got up early and quickly drew a few more talismans to ward off evil spirits and hung them on my bedhead. This time, I even drew some in the closet. With these talismans, that female ghost won't be able to bother me again. After washing my face, brushing my teeth, and washing my hair, I went to class with a heavy head. Zhao Yuer was already waiting for me by my seat.

  "Nie Yu, why are you just coming now? Just now Professor Liu was telling us about the scope of the exam and the content of the topics. He also came looking for you, I said you had a cold and would be right back, he finished talking and left. I've already taken notes for you, here!"

  "Thank you, Zhao Yuner. Next time I'll write for you too. What did Professor Liu say? What's our topic now?" I took a glance at Zhao Yuner and she looked really beautiful today, wearing a white low-cut blouse and a short black skirt that reached her waist. Her fingernails were painted with colorful stripes, and her face had a light makeup with subtle lip color. She was emitting a fruity fragrance from her perfume.

  "Professor Liu said, there is only one month left before the summer vacation. After our exam, it will still be the top ten students who go to the experimental class, of course, it's the quota for next semester, but we can get the scholarship in advance this semester, how are you preparing? There are only two weeks left before the final exam?" Zhao Yuer flipped through her book and looked up.

  "I've prepared pretty well, I think. I've gone over the main content, but I just don't have confidence that I'll get a scholarship. Who knows, maybe someone else will do better than me? Even last time, I didn't even know how I finished the exam, it was all so confusing! I didn't tell her about falling asleep during the exam because it's too weird and she'd be scared if she knew."

  "Nie Yu, you must have confidence. In my eyes, you are the most excellent boy in our class! Don't let me down!" Zhao Yuner made a pair of scissors with her hands and I also patted back in sync.

  Now my heart is really a mixture of five flavors, I listened very seriously in class, but I actually fell asleep during the last exam. Almost every night there's a female ghost coming to find me as her husband, could it be that her husband died and she came to find a substitute for him? I just feel like my head is going to explode.
