Chapter Seven: The Fourth Floor of the Office Building

  Wei Xiangtu heard this and finally couldn't help but take action. With a flick of his hand, a talisman was directly stuck to the woman's head, and the woman's head suddenly emitted a burst of black smoke along with her shrill cry.

  This was really a very reckless behavior, not only Wang Qiniang was frightened and hid behind Li Huan's back, but also the passersby in the hall were scared silly.

  But Li Huan's psychological quality was solid, and he hastily called out: "Wait, wait, it's just a rehearsal, don't be so impulsive! The director? The photographer hasn't arrived yet! Everyone, don't be afraid, we're just making a movie! It's just a movie!"

  "Wei Xiang hurriedly said, 'Don't be afraid, we're just filming a movie!' While saying this, he pulled up the woman who had fainted and said, 'Year Ge, everyone knows it's just props, don't be so scared, you're overacting!'"

  Wang Qiniann just realized he was in a tricky situation, and hastily puffed out his chest to go forward, laughing: "This, this, I'm running an errand for the first time." Then, he had no choice but to take over the woman from Wei Xiangtu's hands, "Look at her, she's fainted. What do we do now?"

  "Take her out for some fresh air and talk later." Wei Xiang hesitated for a moment, "I'll go with Li Huan to see what's on the fourth floor. Remember, your car has talismans on it, so it's very safe."

  Wang Qinian heard this sentence, had no choice but to hold onto that woman and leave by himself.

  But they weren't really going for a stroll, instead they rushed straight to Wang Qiniang's car. Wang Qiniang threw the woman onto the back seat of the car and hastily sat down in the driver's seat. At this time, the woman finally woke up.

  "I... how did I end up here?" The woman took a closer look at the situation and couldn't help but jump in fright: "Good heavens, I... how did I end up here? Mr. Wang, you..."

  "Me?" Wang Qinyuan smiled wryly, "I came looking for Qiyue today, and then I ran into you."

  The woman seemed to remember everything and her face turned white and red: "Mr. Wang, there's been a misunderstanding here, I... what I did just now..."

  Wang Qiniang sighed and said: "I know you've been possessed. But don't be afraid now... Oh no!"

  He suddenly turned pale: "Qiyue, Miss Qin, where did you get possessed? Was it on the fourth floor of this building or on the same floor as Qiyue?"

  "...is the fourth floor..." Ms. Qin thought carefully, with a look that was almost in tears, "I worked overtime last night, and then the elevator stopped at the fourth floor and wouldn't move, so I got out of the elevator..."

  Wang Qinyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Then Qiyue should be fine, right?"

  Li Huan and Wei Xiang went up to the fourth floor, but found that the fourth floor was indeed empty, with nothing in it. As they walked along, several empty rooms had their doors wide open. Moreover, there was dust everywhere.

  However, the aura here is overwhelming, and both Li Huan and Wei Xiang feel extremely uncomfortable.

  "The aura here is very heavy." Wei Xiangtu frowned and said.

  "Hmm, shall we go ask someone?"

  "Wei Xiangtu thought for a moment and said, 'We can go ask, but we might not get any answers.' He paused and continued, 'Let's go find Wang Qiniang and have him take us to his sister. Then we'll let his sister do the asking.'"

  Wang Qinyan naturally cared about his sister, and with Wei Xiangtu and Li Huan to boost his courage, as well as Qin's testimony that something strange had indeed happened, he was willing to confront Wang Qiyue directly.

  Wang Qiyue was still in her office on the seventh floor, feeling depressed because she knew her best friend and business partner Qin Lili all too well. Wang Qiyue had shown kindness to Qin Lili before, but was met with a cold shoulder. However, today Qin Lili surprisingly welcomed Wang Qiyue with a smile and warmly invited her to have coffee... leaving Wang Qiyue dazed.

  Then she was stunned after learning the truth.

  If it's true that the father at home has a mental illness, then it's impossible for my brother and best friend, as well as the doctor and a seemingly clever girl to all have problems.

  It was said that this building also had a strange atmosphere, and she felt uneasy all over.

  "Let's just leave here and go home first, I'll call the manager of this building to ask about the investigation."

  Wang Qiniann nodded hastily and said, "Alright, alright, let's send Miss Qin home first..."

  Qin Lili hastily said: "No need, I'll go stay at your house for a while." After all, the Wang family has an old man holding down the fort.

  At that moment, the old man with a strange temper, stubbornness and high self-esteem at home became the pillar in the hearts of these young people.

  Li Huan suddenly felt a little down, his parents had died in a plane crash a few years ago when they went abroad to visit him.

  However, he didn't show it, and just followed Wei Xiangtu and Wang Qiniang out of the office building, got in the car and rushed back to the Wang's house. He saw Wang Qiyue crying in Wang Lao's arms, while Wang Lao scolded her with a stern face but had no choice but to be helpless. Wei Xiangtu knew he couldn't hide it anymore, so he honestly confessed that he had figured out Wang Qiniang's great calamity. As soon as Wang Lao heard this, he was furious and hit Wei Xiangtu with his cigarette holder.

  "Are you looking for death?! Who do you think you are? A naive little girl who doesn't even report important things to me?!"

  Wei Xiang covered her forehead, wanting to cry but having no tears, and not daring to argue. Old Man Wang looked at her like this, thinking that if it was really as she said, then if his son didn't do something wrong, his daughter would do something even more wrong, so it was still better to follow her way of handling things. His anger dissipated by half, he said: "Alright. This time I'll let you off, but in the future you..."

  Wang Lao raised his cigarette again, and Wei Xiang couldn't help but shrink behind Li Huan, as a result, Li Huan was hit.

  "You little rascal, take this hit for the girl! It's almost dark, why don't you leave?"

  It's just noon and I haven't even had lunch yet, why is it already dark?

  Well, anyway, the old man wanted to drive them away, and the sky had to darken quickly.

  Wei Xiangtu and Li Huan were about to leave with a sad face when they heard another sentence from behind: "If something happens, roll over to me immediately, got it?"

  Alright, what's with this old man's temper...

  As soon as Li Huan came out of the old man's house, his stomach was growling with hunger. Wei Xiangtu smiled and said: "You paid for the taxi fare this morning, so I'll treat you to lunch today. You can choose any restaurant you like, and I can cover a bill of one or two hundred yuan."

  Li Huan was speechless for a moment. The taxi ride this morning had only cost him about 100 yuan, why was Wei Xiang making such a big deal out of it?

  Wei Xiangtu looked at Li Huan's speechless expression and thought Li Huan was unhappy, so he hastily said: "Don't mind it, don't worry, I'll ask the old man to give you more money after things are over."

  Give me some more? But...

  Wai Xiangtu is so particular about money matters, Li Huan can't help but think that these hermits are either penniless or stingy.

  After some hesitation, Li Huan still asked: "Well, how much money do you think Old Man Wang will give me?"

  "Hmm... according to the price my master charges for driving out ghosts... this time, once it's all over, I'll at least give you a few million."

  "Ah?" Li Huan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Wei Xiangtou was...

  Think 100 yuan is a lot, but when it comes to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, they don't even blink an eye?

  Wei Xiangtu looked at him and said seriously, "Really, my master would charge 70,000 to 80,000 for catching a fierce ghost. For ordinary ghosts, the price depends on the situation. This time's ghost is not an ordinary fierce ghost, and you're not a professional ghost catcher either. You should be compensated more for your spiritual loss. Twenty or thirty million is definitely worth it. Don't think it's exaggerated, Old Master Wang doesn't lack money."

  Li Huan suddenly felt a bit dizzy: "Hey, wait, where's your money?"

  "I? Of course I'm with you." Wei Xiang took a few steps forward, then turned back, "I'm your assistant, after all."

  Alright, in that case, if we split the 200,000 or so people into two groups, there really aren't many. And who knows when this will be over? What if it takes half a year or even a whole year and still no progress is made, and instead I almost lose my life several times...

  Li Huan suddenly felt that if it were just 200,000 or 300,000, he would have really lost out.

  With this idea in mind, Li Huan felt disheartened.

  But he can't just do nothing, or else he'll be in danger himself. Well, let's just say it's for his own safety then. And it's not like he's doing it for free either.

  "What's wrong, feeling a bit cheated?" Wei Xiangtu looked at him with some sympathy.

  "What a huge loss!" Li Huan couldn't help but exclaim. Wei Xiangtu couldn't help but smile wryly, raising his hand to rub his temples.

  "I'm the one who's suffering the most. My master actually told me not to accept Old Man Wang's money. And before that, he also told me not to run around randomly and to stay at Old Man Wang's house with food and lodging provided. Now I have 1,500 yuan on my card that I can spend, it's killing me."

  Two people walked slowly together and started talking about family affairs.

  According to Wei Xiangtu's words, she actually didn't want to live with Old Master Wang either, which is why she thought of going to Li Huan's place. Because she felt that living with the elderly was really suffocating, especially with someone like Old Master Wang, who might scold her every day in the future. And most importantly, she wanted to make money!

  "1,500 yuan can't even last a month in a county town, who knows when I'll be able to make ends meet!"

  It can be seen that Wei Xiangtu has a deep grievance.

  So, Li Huan suddenly realized why he had the impression of Wei Xiangtu being an "iceberg beauty" when they met at Wang's house. It turned out that Wei Xiangtu didn't want to be cold, but as soon as she saw him, she was ridiculed by the old man, so her face became icy.

  But... since the girl only had that much money, he didn't dare to extort her. Wei Xiangtu insisted on paying for himself, so he casually found a small restaurant with a relatively affordable price. After finishing lunch, they returned to the clinic.

  The new assistant's office is almost done, just need to smooth out the cement floor. The workers are quite efficient, finishing in ten or so minutes and then packing up. Luo Ke enemy smiled and said: "Doctor Li, since you have nothing to do today, why don't you sweep it yourself? I'll take my brothers back. As a doctor, sitting all day without exercise, your body is as thin as a bamboo stick, this isn't good."

  Li Huan grumbled in his heart about Luo Ke's flabby body and reluctantly paid the money.

  After sending away the workers, Li Huan and Wei Xiangtu started cleaning up together.
