Chapter Eleven Chang Wenxu
“Did I?”
Liu Haoyu touched his face and said somewhat strangely.
“Maybe I haven’t rested well these past few days.”
“More than just not resting well,” the man in sunglasses released his hand and pointed at Liu Haoyu’s face, saying, “First, let’s talk about your complexion. Your face is sallow, your skin is dry, and there are many bloodshot veins in your eyes. This is a clear sign of not resting well.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Haoyu could only shrug his shoulders.
“Being a ghost exorcist, staying up all night is common, so it should be normal.”
“No, no, no, back when you were in Beiming City, you also stayed up all night every day, but you didn’t look like you were about to kick the bucket like this.”
“Really?”
Liu Haoyu looked at the mirror by the roadside with disbelief.
The man in the mirror was not bad-looking, but his deathly pale complexion subtracted quite a few points.
Even Deng Xiaolin chimed in.
“Exactly, exactly, Hao-ge, you really need to take a rest. I feel that if you continue in this state, something might happen one day. It’s been a bit better after resting these past few days, but before that, you looked even more terrifying.”
“This…”
Liu Haoyu was speechless and withdrew his gaze from the mirror.
He wanted to rest, but the situation didn’t give him a chance.
Moreover, he was increasingly feeling that.
His current state was definitely not just due to lack of sleep.
It was more due to the grudges emanating from Qin Liu, intentionally or unintentionally.
Not to mention this little ghost, who was so energetic after eating that even a iron kidney couldn’t handle her.
If he hadn’t booked a double room last night, she might have pounced on him with a howl.
“Huh?”
Qin Liu tilted her head, not understanding Liu Haoyu’s gaze.
But the latter didn’t say much, only speaking to the man in sunglasses.
“Let’s talk inside.”
“Okay, Brother Liu, please come in.”
The man in sunglasses made way, and Liu Haoyu and Deng Xiaolin walked in first.
From the outside, this law firm was very luxurious, and upon entering, it was even more astonishing.
Black and gold marble flooring, walls constructed of redwood, and in the center of the room, a exquisite tea table.
The man in sunglasses pulled out two stools, let the two sit down, then sat opposite them, poured them both a cup of tea, and then said leisurely.
“Brother Liu, this girl beside you, aren’t you going to introduce her?”
“Her…” Liu Haoyu pointed at Deng Xiaolin and said, “Her name is Deng Xiaolin. You can consider her as my younger sister.”
“As for the elder brother in sunglasses opposite me, his name is Chang Wenxu, and he’s a friend I met in university.”
After introducing each other and exchanging greetings, Chang Wenxu spoke.
“Brother Liu, let’s get to business first.”
“Actually, for this commission, if you hadn’t come, I might have chosen to give up directly.”
“Is it very difficult?”
Liu Haoyu frowned slightly. If it was very difficult, it would be inconvenient to bring Deng Xiaolin along.
“It’s not that it’s very difficult,” Chang Wenxu took a sip of tea and slowly explained, “but the place where the other party disappeared is a bit unusual. He was a Yin-Yang Master…”
Yin-Yang Master was a very general term, and Liu Haoyu didn’t know if the person was a ghost exorcist, a Feng Shui Master, a Shaman, or just a charlatan.
Liu Haoyu asked directly.
“Is that person a ghost exorcist?”
“No,” Chang Wenxu shook his head. “That person was just an ordinary person who knew some minor tricks for swindling, but a few days ago, he mysteriously disappeared.”
“And the last place he was seen was at Ye Shangfeng.”
Chang Wenxu, also a ghost exorcist, knew the horrors of Ye Shangfeng well.
During the day, Ye Shangfeng was just an ordinary tourist spot, but once evening arrived, things would become difficult to say.
“The police searched the mountain for a long time, but the person seemed to have evaporated into thin air and couldn’t be found. Coupled with the typhoon, the search operation had to be suspended.”
Even though nothing had happened over the years, no one dared to ascend Ye Shangfeng at night. Local people especially tried their best to stop those who were not afraid of death and attempted to go up the mountain at night.
“Over the years, Brother Liu, you are the only one who has ascended Ye Shangfeng at night. That’s why I wanted to seek your help.”
“Although that person was a charlatan, the reward his family offered was not small. I’m doing this for my reputation. After this, I can give you all the money. It’s fine.”
“But the prerequisite is that you can bring the person back alive.”
After listening to Chang Wenxu’s explanation, Liu Haoyu pondered for a long time.
He had indeed been to Ye Shangfeng many times, but apart from a few wandering souls, he hadn’t encountered any supernatural events.
Coincidentally, the Night Walker had recently gone to Ye Shangfeng. Could this Yin-Yang Master’s disappearance be related to the Night Walker?
As Liu Haoyu was thinking, Chang Wenxu continued.
“Brother Liu, if it’s too difficult, then forget it. It’s not good to put you at risk.”
“It’s not that it’s difficult, but it’s hard for me to guarantee whether I’ll find a living person or…”
Liu Haoyu’s words abruptly stopped. The meaning behind it did not need to be elaborated further.
In response, Chang Wenxu laughed heartily, patted Liu Haoyu on the shoulder, and said.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry. Even if you bring back a corpse, it doesn’t matter. At worst, I’ll advance the reward for you. Money is a small problem.”
Chang Wenxu was very rich. How rich was he?
Simply put, he was the kind of rich second generation whose pocket money could be hundreds of thousands.
So Liu Haoyu didn’t understand why such a wealthy person would want to be a lawyer and a part-time ghost exorcist.
Or maybe he lived too comfortably and wanted some excitement?
“Alright…”
It’s foolish not to make money, especially since Liu Haoyu was indeed short of money.
“I’ve already sent the information and clues about that Yin-Yang Master to your mobile phone. Have you received it?”
“Received it.”
“That’s good…” Chang Wenxu poured them another cup of tea and continued, “Speaking of which, I heard you found a girlfriend. Didn’t you bring her this time? I wanted to meet her.”
“I don’t remember telling you about this.”
“As a lawyer, isn’t it normal to be well-informed?”
Chang Wenxu smiled mysteriously.
“But I really didn’t expect that the boy who once had vacant eyes would find a girlfriend before me. It’s truly incredible.”
“Come on,” Liu Haoyu sighed, “Don’t think I don’t know about your romantic life, those coser girls… Forget it, are you showing off to me here?”
Chang Wenxu smiled slightly.
“A consensual financial relationship, how can that be called a girlfriend? At most, it’s just a friend.”
“You really should change your philandering ways.”
Liu Haoyu really couldn’t understand the private lives of wealthy people.
