Chapter 21 "Father-in-law"'s Company

  Lü Shang helped me talk to the security guard at the entrance and let us in. We took the elevator and I pressed the 4th floor button.

  "What are you doing?!" was startled by Lü Shang's sudden shout.

  "I want to see what's on the 4th floor."

  "There's nothing good to see, I don't want to see it, not allowed to go to the 4th floor." Lü Shang glared at me a couple of times, looking quite introverted but still quite fierce.

  But it was already pressed, and when the elevator stopped on the fourth floor and opened its doors, Lü Shuang had shrunk into a corner of the elevator with her eyes covered. I looked around cautiously, although it wasn't even 10 o'clock yet, but the entire floor was still quite dark, without any light at all, vaguely visible were some structures.

  "It's still not closed!" I saw Lü Shang was about to cry... Hurriedly closing the elevator and going to the 7th floor.

  When I got to the 7th floor and out of the elevator, Lü Shuang still hit me twice and didn't talk to me. Girls all have this kind of temper.

  "Beautiful girl... you ignore me, I have nothing to play with here, so I'll leave." I scare Lu Shuang a bit, and indeed she gets scared, holding onto me not letting me go.

  "I was just joking with you." Lü Shang heard it and ignored me again, walking forward to her own desk and sitting down. I followed behind her, moving a stool to sit beside her, looking around at the surroundings. The entire office area wasn't big, nor could it be said to be small. At present, apart from me and Lü Shang, there were six others working the night shift.

  I saw an office with lights on too, this is also too hardworking, even the leader is working overtime?

  "Lü Shang, your leader is also working night shifts?"

  "Yes, that's our boss. He came to work with us personally to dispel the rumors." Lü Shang sat at her desk and didn't rest at all, she was in a hurry. I took a look and found out that she was an accountant.

  But when I heard that their boss also personally worked the night shift, I thought to myself that the boss was pretty good too, at least they wouldn't just let employees work hard inside.

  Sitting next to her, watching her do the accounts, feeling sleepy. I looked at the time and it was already 12 o'clock. I stood up and walked towards the window, wanting to get some fresh air to wake myself up. As soon as I stood up, everyone's eyes were on me, so embarrassing...

  It blew cold wind and made me hungry too.

  "Lü Shang, have you eaten yet? I'm starving." I walked back to Lü Shang's side and saw that she was working very hard without stopping.

  "Uh-huh, I have instant noodles in my box, you eat first."

  She is really in a hurry, and when she talks to me, she doesn't even look at me.

  I took a bucket of instant noodles to the water dispenser, which was at the office entrance. As I was adding water, I saw the door open and a figure came out.

  "Zi Chuan, what are you doing here?" I heard this voice and felt very familiar. When I looked up, I was startled to see that it was Zhang Ting's father.

  The instant noodles almost spilled, I was thinking about how to talk to him... Should I say I'm just passing by? How is that possible? If he came with Lü Shuang, wouldn't that be a complete loss of face? He completely treated me like a young master. It's strange if Zhang Ting and I don't cut off contact... What should I do?!

  It turns out this company is Zhang Ting's father's...

  When I couldn't think of a way out, faint sobbing sounds came over... intermittently.

  I was secretly delighted because I saw that everyone was attracted by the crying, even Zhang Ting's father was attracted, and instantly all the employees stood up in panic.

  "Don't panic! I'll go take a look, you guys don't worry, wait here." Zhang Ting's father calmed them down and walked towards the direction of the crying sound. I wouldn't let my future father-in-law go alone, even if he wasn't my father-in-law, I still wouldn't let him go. I followed behind him.

  "Zi Jiang, don't follow me, go back." Suddenly felt that Zhang Ting's father was very responsible and steady.

  "It's okay, uncle, I'll help you."

  He didn't say anything and allowed me to follow him. I casually picked up a broom that was placed by the side of the road, and I had already roughly confirmed that he was human; just in case he was extremely radical, I could also have some sort of weapon.

  "Be careful, the sound is just around here." He whispered to me and slowly approached the source of the sound. As a result, nothing was seen, but the crying sound still existed among a pile of debris.

  Zhang Ting's father opened the trunk, I thought something would appear, but it turned out to be a tape recorder.

  "Who's so bored to come up with this stuff! Subo, let's go!" I saw Zhang Ting's father get angry and yell at me to leave. As soon as we got back to the office area, he threw the recorder on the ground.

  "Who did it?"

  As a result, everyone shook their heads.

  "Go, no one admitted it was a mistake, I found out and directly fired!" Zhang Ting's father threw down this sentence. I looked at Lü Shuang, and this girl saw that it was a recorder and relaxed a lot, and directly sat on the chair.

  "Zi Chuan, come in." Zhang Ting's father called me into the office. I was afraid he would suddenly remember to ask me something, and as a result, he asked me: "How did you get here?"

  I thought I had escaped, but it turned out to be like this after all.

  "I... I am..." My words were cut off as I heard someone screaming outside. Was I supposed to thank that "ghost"?

  He and I rushed out of the office, just to see a "ghost" suddenly crawling from the direction of the elevator... Damn, this is too much like it, crawling on the ground, hair scattered all over the floor, face completely covered up, can't even see his eyes, still crawling towards us, leaving bloodstains wherever he crawled.

  "This 'ghost' has really made an effort, last time it was 4th floor, this time it can even take the elevator to 7th floor..."

  I grabbed the broom and rushed over to hit it with it.

  "Ah yo ah yo..." That "ghost" kept shouting, they saw that the ghost was actually beaten by me and they all understood, this is a person.

  That person parted their hair and took a glance at me.

  "I'm telling you to stop staring at me!" I swung the broom down again, and that person ran away. I chased after him, he was still running pretty fast, directly up the stairs. I chased after him, saw him run to the fourth floor, and chased in after him. It was dark inside, and I was a bit afraid he'd hit me with something.

  I tread carefully step by step.

  "Zi Chuan! Where are you?" Then I heard Zhang Ting's father also came chasing after.

  "Uncle, I'm on the 4th floor."

  I finished answering and continued walking inside, having found many rooms without seeing anyone, wondering if he had just disappeared like that. I walked towards the hall, only to see him standing with his back to me under the window, which was open, letting in a cold wind.

  "Who are you, anyway? Why are you pretending to be a ghost?" I asked the person with their back to me.

  As a result, he didn't respond to me, and I got angry. He was mysterious with me, and as I slowly approached him, he didn't have any reaction at all.

  "Hey, I'm angry! If you don't turn around!" I was still 3 steps away from him, but he just wouldn't turn around, kept staring out the window. I got so angry, this is too humiliating, I kicked him with one foot.

  ！！He actually kicked empty! Not called kicking empty, it's like he passed through his body! I almost didn't stand firm floating by the window, damn, this guy has special abilities? Just now I told him not to move, now he let me pass through him directly! The more I think about it, the more it doesn't feel right. When I kicked empty that instant, I subconsciously looked down and saw a person wearing white clothes lying on the ground below... but this is the 4th floor!!

  I'm going, is a fake ghost turning into a real one? What's going on here, does the 4th floor really have ghosts?

  I turned around and saw the "person" who had been facing away from me. Its eyes were bleeding... Originally looking out of the window, it changed to staring at me, motionless and just staring...

  I'm being stared at by it until I feel numb.

  "Zi Chuan, are you okay?!" I saw Zhang Ting's father had also arrived!

  "Uncle! Hurry up and leave." This is a real ghost, not something he can handle! I just saw the ghost staring at me, but when it heard Zhang Ting's father's voice, it turned around and floated towards him.

  The speed was too fast, I hadn't even reacted yet, and heard Zhang Ting's father call out, that ghost had already floated over and used its tongue to wrap around Zhang Ting's father's neck, getting tighter and tighter, I saw my uncle's face getting redder and redder.

  "Present! Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Three Lives Five Elements, take the shape of a golden sword, slay the evil spirits! All soldiers, form up in front!"

  His hands swiftly changed the spell! My future father-in-law can't get into trouble! A golden knife formed in mid-air, chopping down with a single swing! I saw that ghost being dispersed by my Golden Knife Spell, thinking to myself how weak this ghost was!

  As a result, I saw that ghost turn into a scarecrow and fall to the ground. I walked over and took a look at Zhang Ting's father.

  "Uncle, are you okay?"

  "Cough, cough... it's nothing. What is this thing, Sub川?" I picked up the scarecrow and saw that there were actually someone's birth eight characters written on its body! Although I've never been in contact with birth eight characters before, one look and I knew what they were.

  "Uncle, have you offended anyone?" I recalled that only the 7th and 8th floors of the entire building were working overtime at night, and both of these floors belonged to Zhang Ting's father's company. If so, then there was only one possibility - someone must be harming him behind his back!

  "No way... let's go up and make them all leave."

  "Uh-huh."

  I bid farewell to Lü Shuang and sent Zhang Ting's father home.

  "Zi Chuan... are you a Taoist?" Zhang Ting's father asked me first.

  I don't know how to talk to him because I'm afraid Zhang Ting will find out about my identity.

  "It's okay, just tell me and I won't mention it to Tingting."

  "Uh, uncle, I happened to meet a master and he taught me."

  "Oh... if it weren't for you tonight, I really don't know what I would have done."

  "Ah, Dad, what's wrong with you? Eh, Zikawa, how did you end up with my dad?" I sent Uncle back home and the one who opened the door was Zhang Ting. She looked anxious seeing her dad not feeling well.

  "It's okay, I was just tired from overtime and happened to meet Tsubokawa at the company in the evening, so I asked him to keep me company." Just as I was thinking of an excuse to tell Zhang Ting about how I met her dad, he had already explained it for me.

  "Okay, okay, Dad, come in and take a good rest, you're so tired from doing what."

  "Hmm... Zikawa, you can stay here tonight," I heard her dad say to me, and Zhang Ting seemed much happier. After seeing her dad go back to his room, Zhang Ting said to me: "Zikawa! Do you know? My dad has never let any of my classmates stay overnight at our house before! Hehe!"

  Does this mean my father-in-law has accepted me?
