Chapter 13: The Witchcraft Company

  These men in black had just sat down, and a gloomy atmosphere spread over. The leader of the group, who was closest to our table, was over 1.8 meters tall, with bulging muscles and wearing sunglasses. The three or four behind him looked like younger brothers, also looking at us menacingly from time to time.

  "Beautiful girl, don't just look and not choose, we're all starving waiting for you to speak up. If this goes on, none of us will be able to eat." Wu Shirong covered his stomach, pretending to be extremely hungry.

  Zhao Yuner randomly ordered a few of the cheapest dishes and handed them over to the waiter, also ordering three bottles of beer. Although we had eaten several meals together before, today was our first time drinking alcohol.

  "Beautiful girl, can you drink?" Wu Shi Rong and I asked in unison.

  "Who doesn't drink beer, but can only have a little. Today, to celebrate that your bracelet is found, let's celebrate and have a toast!" Zhao Yun'er poured the wine and raised her glass. Wu Shi Rong and I hastily raised our glasses and clinked them together. In no time, I had already drunk two bottles of beer. To be honest, I had hardly ever drank before, and after this drink, my head was spinning and my body started to sway.

  "I'm going to the bathroom, you guys wait for me and I'll be right back." Zhao Yuer got up and went to the bathroom. Maybe it was the effect of the alcohol, but I couldn't help staring at her swaying butt... Ugh, my head is all fuzzy and I don't even know what I'm thinking, so I quickly took a sip of tea to clear my head.

  When Zhao Yuner left, her handbag was placed on the chair, and the ice jade bangle was inside her handbag. At this moment, several strong men at the opposite table suddenly stood up and walked out of the table. I looked up and thought they had finished eating and were leaving, but unexpectedly, the strong man wearing sunglasses grabbed Zhao Yuner's handbag and ran downstairs quickly. Wu Shirong and I hurriedly chased after him, but we both drank wine and our legs were soft, so no matter how hard we chased, we couldn't catch up. At this time, Zhao Yuner caught up with us.

  "What's wrong? Why did you two run out? Where is my handbag?" Zhao Yuer stared at us in shock.

  "My bag has been snatched... it's, it's been snatched!" I panted, bending over with my hands on my knees. Wu Shi Rong's face had turned completely white.

  "What kind of people are you, did you see clearly? Luckily my mobile phone was in my hand, that bracelet must have been snatched by them!" Zhao Yu'er was so frightened that she hurriedly covered her mouth with both hands.

  "Yes, now the bangle is gone. Those two ice jade bangles were meant for my little sister to cure her illness. It's all in vain, our efforts over the past few days have been wasted. They are the ones sitting at the table opposite us, I felt something was off about them, they kept glancing over at our table." Wu Shi Rong said, and then 5 or 6 waiters from the restaurant walked out behind him.

  "Hey! You guys eating without paying, is that right? Running so fast? If you don't pay, we'll call the police!" The speaker was a big chef, with a very eye-catching high white hat and a large spoon in his hand.

  "Who said we're not giving you money, our bag was snatched by the people at the opposite table, and we haven't even finished eating yet," I pulled Zhao Yun'er and Wu Shi Rong's hands back to the dinner table.

  As soon as she got back to the table, Zhao Yuer reported the police. Her bag was a famous brand bought by her father, said to be worth tens of thousands of yuan, and judging from her appearance, it seemed like she was heartbroken. After the police arrived, they took our statements, but the small restaurant didn't have any surveillance footage, so there's basically nothing we can do but wait for news. We were extremely disappointed, Zhao Yuer went home, and the two of us had spent all our money, so we walked back to the dormitory.

  "Nie Yu, what should we do now? They don't know who it is either, could it be Zhou Wen's company?" Wu Shi Rong said as he picked up Li Lin's computer to take a look.

  "I also suspect that it's probably them who did it, how could it be such a coincidence? We just got the bracelet and they found out about it, are you selling us out?" I really couldn't think straight and asked randomly.

  "What? You suspect me? Your sister, we're together every day, when have I ever disappeared to inform on them?" Wu Shi Rong's face immediately turned the color of liver, furious to the point of being purple.

  "Alright, I was just joking, why take it seriously? How about we go to the Benjamin company and get to the bottom of this? If they really took it, we'll just take it back." I grabbed Wu Shi Rong's arm and stared at him intensely.

  "Of course, we must take back what belongs to us!" After he finished speaking, he grasped my hand, and I felt his hand was very powerful, as if he also hated those thugs.

  The next day in class, Professor Liu told us to prepare well for the final exam. In the afternoon, I didn't have classes so I went back to my dormitory and hurriedly gave Zhao Yuer a call.

  "Beautiful girl, what are you doing? Do you still remember the incident of losing our bracelets two days ago? I think we should go to Benjamin's company, maybe it's there!" I was quite confident in my own judgment.

  "Alright, let's go take a look together tomorrow. If it's really there, we'll sneak in and grab it. But they must have known what the few of us looked like and followed us, otherwise how would they know we took the bracelet?" Zhao Yuer's tone was slightly tense.

  "It's nothing, maybe they overheard us when we were eating and they just did it on a whim." Wu Shi Rong stuck his ear closer to listen to our conversation again.

  "Alright, tomorrow I'll borrow my brother's car and we'll go see what's going on!" Zhao Yuer hung up the phone, and Wu Shirong and I quickly put the laptop on Li Lin's bed.

  The next morning, Zhao Yuer drove a red Mazda to the school gate, and Wu Shirong and I hurriedly got on the car. The familiar road led us to the entrance of Benjamin Company. It was lunchtime at this moment, and we didn't know if it was good luck or we were lucky, but there was a beverage delivery truck unloading goods, so we got on the cargo truck.

  "Hey, are you kids from Benyamin Company here to help unload the goods?" The driver on the delivery truck stared at us blankly.

  "Uncle, yes, we are employees inside, and happened to see you coming over to help unload the goods!" After finishing speaking, Zhao Yuner also threw a flirtatious glance. The uncle looked us up and down, and since Zhao Yuner didn't leave our side, the three of us each carried a box of mineral water and followed the security guard into the Benjamin Company.

  We arrived at the Benyamin company and started searching around like headless flies. The last exhibition had already ended, and there were hardly any people in the hall, it just so happened to be lunchtime, and the doors of the offices weren't even locked, so we searched room by room.

  Suddenly I remembered that the pair of ice jade bracelets was a freezing thing, and I quickly took out my second uncle's compass to determine its position. But the needle on the compass didn't move at all, and it turned out that there was a sealing spell here. I quickly thought of a spell from the Nine Supreme Divine Strategies that could break it: "The Spell of Resolving Hundreds of Evils". On the southern coast, a blade of grass grows, day and night, forever young and never old. The Queen Mother's peach comes to resolve and retreat, resolving all sorts of evil spells. First, I resolved the spell of Huang Yi Duan Gong; second, I resolved the spell of South Sea Wan Fa; third, I resolved the spell of Bai Yi Fa; fourth, I resolved the spell of San Shi Fa; fifth, I resolved the spell of Tie Jiang Fa; sixth, I resolved the spell of Hua Jiang Fa; seventh, I resolved the spell of Wa Jiang Fa; eighth, I resolved the spell of Shi Jiang Fa; ninth, I resolved the spell of Mu Jiang Fa; tenth, I resolved the spell of Ge Bu Fa. The heavens and earth were resolved, the years and months were resolved, the days and hours were resolved. I respectfully requested that the Fox Spirit Ancestor and all ancestors resolve and retreat. I respectfully requested that the Six Stars of the Southern Dipper and the Seven Stars of the Northern Dipper assist me in resolving this spell. I respectfully requested that the Great Supreme Old Lord urgently resolve this spell as a matter of law. With a wave of my hand, the spell was resolved and retreated. As I finished reciting the incantation, I held up the yellow talisman and pressed it onto the compass, where it suddenly transformed into blood.

  The needle on the compass suddenly moved quickly, and we three people followed the direction of the compass to a door of an office on the 30th floor. However, there was a security guard standing at the door, who was over 1.9 meters tall and holding a baton. We were all stunned by his iron tower-like physique and didn't know what to do. At this time, Zhao Yu'er stood up and walked directly towards the security guard.

  "Hey handsome, can I ask you for a favor? The water bucket in my office is empty and there's a delivery truck downstairs. Can you help me carry it?" Zhao Yuer's sweet voice intentionally became coquettish.

  "The delivery guy will be here soon, just wait a bit. The boss told me not to leave this place half a step, if anything goes wrong I'm done for." This big fellow looked up and down at Zhao Yun'er, who was still standing there stiffly.

  "I'm the newly hired secretary of the boss, just say I told you to take it if anyone asks. Oh my, this weather is so hot, I'm dying of thirst... handsome boy..." As she spoke, Zhao Yuner surprisingly unzipped her jacket and fanned herself with her hand.

  "Alright, since I'm the boss's secretary, I'll go get it for you now. By the way, how come I've never seen you before?" The big man scratched his head.

  "I'm not just a secretary, you know. I don't usually come here, but the boss said it was urgent today so he called me...". After finishing speaking, Zhao Yuner walked straight towards the big man and touched his chest with her hand. The big man didn't expect Zhao Yuner to make such a move and actually trembled and froze in place.

  Dahan went to carry water for Zhao Yuer, and Wu Shirong and I hastily entered the office with a slightly ajar door, while Zhao Yuer kept watch at the entrance.

  As soon as I entered the office, there was a large boss chair inside. On the boss chair, there was a huge Maneki-Neko (lucky cat), which was made of pure gold. Next to it was a green leafy plant with an unknown name, and the whole room was filled with a faint fragrance. The large floor-to-ceiling windows offered a view of the bustling streets outside.

  "It must be right here on this desk," Wu Shi Rong said, quickly pulling open all the drawers that could be opened. All the drawers were pulled open, and they were all just some invoices, contracts, documents, and other things, without the two bracelets we were looking for.

  At this time, the cabinet next to me caught my eye. The door of that cabinet seemed to be a password lock, with a huge round dial on top and a rotatable password alignment device. I took a look at it and frowned, how could we open it without the password? If Da Han comes back, we'll all die here.

  "Haha, watch this!" Wu Shi Rong said with a mischievous grin, flapping his sleeves and putting his ear to the safe. Before long, there were two loud "bangs", and with one final effort, the safe door swung open. Inside, stacks of cash were piled high, and next to them was a small box. Opening it revealed a photo of the ice jade bracelets, but they weren't inside. Underneath the photo was an express delivery receipt, and the address on it was some place in Jiangxi... We're too late!
