Officer Ma seemed to be pretty agitated this time.
A packet of cigarettes had just been opened an hour ago. However, he had already smoked over half of his sixth cigarette. Cloudy smoke filled the room.
Not only was he the No.1 sharpshooter in the police office, he was also the No.1 chain smoker as well. He pounded the office table furiously at this moment.
The action shook the mountain of documents, also scaring the young policeman sitting nearby, causing him to almost jump up in fright.
“F*cking B*tch!”
The young policeman witnessed Officer Ma swearing and then continued smoking seriously. He knew what Officer Ma was worrying about.
Even without mentioning the accident concerning the evil cult, there was still the illegal organization of organ trade which they had been following for a long time.
Originally, the investigation of the case could have been moved up to next stage, there even existed a possibility that they would be able to follow the clues and eradicate that organ trafficking organization. This was because of the local contact they caught and the doctor who was in charge of performing the operation.
Yet the doctor died suddenly… and he actually died in the operation room.
The contact that had been captured earlier did not know much as well, hence it was not worth further interrogating him. As for the killer that they caught in the hospital—the unlucky guy who fainted due to being struck by a falling flowerpot, he committed suicide while the guard wasn’t paying attention.
Yes, another one committed suicide. Including the psychic teacher, he was the second one.
The important figures of two cases died one after another; therefore, one could imagine how stressful Officer Ma was at this point.
Not only that, the psychic’s body which had been sent into the morgue, vanished all of a sudden last night… No one had realized it, there wasn’t even a trace that was recorded by the cameras.
The night watchman who had worked there for dozens of years had to be taken into the hospital due to almost dying from the excessive shock.
“F*ck you son of a b*tch!!”
Officer Ma put out the cigarette, standing up. “I’m heading out for a while.”
He rushed to the door with big strides. However, he stopped just as he was opening the door. “Go send some people to keep watch on my sister. I suspect that the f*cking psychic teacher might have some accomplices! And deploy two people to the hospital. Are the relatives of Jiang Chu still there? Keep a lookout for any members of that evil organization if they appear again!”
The young policeman stared blankly. He heard the existence of the legendary ‘sister’ from some seniors in the office, so he asked, “Officer Ma, should we inform… Miss Ren? That way, things should be easier…”
“Tell your ass!” Officer Ma raged. “If you tell her that the dead body of the psychic teacher disappeared, I’ll wipe your existence off the face of the planet!! She has a strong curiosity and likes toy with death, hence, she will definitely participate! No way!”
‘The most important thing is, if she takes part in it, she will use various methods to embarrass me and I won't be able to do anything about it…’
“But… what if the head asks me where did you go? What should I tell him?”
“Just tell him that I was too stressed out! Going out to relax a bit! Going for massage!!”
Peng!!!
The door let out a sad cry as it was furiously slammed shut. The young policeman trembled, feeling that Officer Ma was a true man… However, if he really handed up such a report, it would be bad.
…
…
The New Testament of the Bible.
In John 6 verse 17, Jesus called him the devil.
Along with Golden Eye’s answer, Luo Qiu started to head down that way, trying to understand the hidden meaning of the words from the lattice window in the former boss’s room.
It might take a long time—If he had enough lifespan, Boss Luo would choose the easy way--Purchasing information about it directly.
Thus…Now he could only seek it out by himself.
For starters, let’s learn more about this famous ‘traitor’.
Anyway, he was going to be reading the Bible for the time being.
On a nearby aisle paved with floor tiles, a mother was pushing a boy sitting on a wheelchair… Perhaps to allow him to get some sunshine.
The boy was silent, with his head lowered. His mother seemed troubled by his depression.
“Are you thirsty?” his mother asked.
The boy didn’t say a word, as if he didn’t hear that.
His mother forced a smile, “Oh, I forgot to take your water bottle. Wait for me here.”
The mother left her kid at the pavilion, glancing at the young man who was reading a book quietly. After a moment of hesitation, she left.
This was the hospital, so it would be safe… Furthermore, there were times where even a mother needed to be alone.
She didn’t go too far, merely sitting at a spot where she could keep an eye on her kid.
The little boy kept still all the while.
Boss Luo didn’t raise his head, before a muttering suddenly, “You’ve fully recovered and can walk by yourself. Why are you still using a wheelchair?”
The sudden words from a stranger made the boy look up and looked at him, then averted his gaze, “None of your business.”
“You rather talk to a stranger than your own mother?”
“None of your business.”
“So even though you escaped death, will you continue to live with such a world-weary attitude?”
“None of your business!” The boy gave a more agitated reaction, turning his face to this weird stranger, “What do you know? Uncle!”
Boss Luo thought the atmosphere was pretty good at first… however, the word ‘Uncle’ made him disgusted.
Boss Luo raised his head and the boy hurriedly looked away again.
Luo Qiu said indifferently, “You’re right. It’s none of my business… But I’ve promised somebody, that I have to ensure the matter ends well.”
While saying this, Boss Luo started to read the Bible in his hands, “Can you see that sickroom? Don’t peek, it’s at my direction.”
The little boy refused to turn to him.
“That kid’s life is tough. She is younger than you; yet, she had to receive a craniotomy. However, an accident occurred during the operation and she was almost died on the spot. However, she was lucky. The operation was successfully completed by a substitute doctor.”
The little boy was stupefied, turning to gaze at Luo Qiu.
Boss Luo didn’t concern himself with the little boy. He continued, “Yet it seemed that due to the delay during the operation, she hasn’t come to her senses ever since she came out of the operation room… There’s nothing wrong with her body but she may never be able to wake up again. Do you think she will wake up or not?”
“I… How do I know that?”
Luo Qiu nodded, “Right. You aren’t even concerned about your life tomorrow. How can you care about others? Likewise, let alone caring if she fights hard to open her eyes, to look at the whole view of the world like you.”
“Other people’s business has nothing to do with me.”
Luo Qiu closed the Bible abruptly, looking at the sickroom, and the sleeping little girl. “Yeah, it’s none of your business. Then, what other people say is none of your business either. How others judge Jiang Chu, is that any of your business?”
“How do you know that… Who are you?”
Luo Qiu walked over to the boy suddenly, “Your father gave her the right to live on before he died. Though it’s hard, I think she’s doing her best. No matter what your father did before death, at least it showed his attitude towards life.”
The little boy didn’t say a word.
Luo Qiu put a cellphone on the child’s leg.
The boy was stunned… He knew this phone! The graffiti at back of the cellphone was scrawled by him—He realized it was his father’s phone.
“Why do you have it?”
Luo Qiu shook his head, finishing his words. “Though you didn’t see him in the end. Guess what he would say if he knew this was your attitude to life.”
The little boy just peered at Luo Qiu.
“You’ll have a good life… I think so.” Luo Qiu clicked open the cellphone. “Because he had always loved you.”
The little boy lowered his head, gazing at the familiar face. The familiar but distant smile on the screen saver. His tears fell onto it drop by drop.
Who knows how long had passed. Suddenly he heard a voice from his mother tinged with anxiousness.
“Where was that man? I saw him just now…”
In the time it took to blink, no one could be seen in the pavilion except for her and her son.
Watching the tears in her son’s eyes, the mother got a painful feeling in her heart. Just as she intended to say something, she saw the cellphone her son holding. This was…
“I… I’d like to go over there and have a look.”
At that moment, the little boy held onto the wheelchair, supporting his body, trying to stand up. He pointed at the sickroom ahead and said, “Mum.”
Finally, he had opened his mouth to speak.
His mother covered her mouth, tears in her eyes.
“Heaven Shadow Limited Inc?”
Cheng Yun was reading the material that Zhong Luochen passed to him.
Grandpa’s health had been getting better and better. He even started to practice TaiChi now. If his descendants hadn’t suggested that he stay for a further observation for another several days, he would have went back to the capital city already.
But his grandpa didn’t seem to mind staying here.
“I have decided to expand in this area here for several years.” Zhong Luochen said indifferently. “There are several projects for now. Heaven Shadow Entertainment is considered the largest and most powerful company here. Their vice president sought me out recently… Well, you can go get information of that company first.”
Expanding here in recent years? Cheng Yun couldn't help wondering. Without question, the old master would go back to the capital, because the Zhong Family headquarters was there.
The Grandpa’s miraculous recovery must be due to some unknown methods used by the second young master. However, everyone knew the result was due entirely to the second young master’s actions. Simply put, the second young master saved his grandfather’s life.
The discussion these days in the Zhong Family all concerned the second young master. He made such a huge contribution, and should be treated well by the old master.
Unexpectedly, He would stay in this place, far away from the capital! It didn’t make sense!
Cheng Yun did not dare to express the slightest hint of his own ideas. He said instead, “Boss Zhong, I remember Heaven Shadow Entertainment should be the company that signed a contract with the new pop star that became famous, Tu Jiaya.”
Zhong Luochen nodded: "Heaven Shadow Entertainment seems to want to enter into the film industry… movies were always played major part in the cultural industry."
Cheng Yun nodded. He understood the situation of the domestic film industry. Whether domestic or foreign, under the system, any movie without a rating would be checked by SARFT(The State Administration of Radio Film and Television).
But… who cares? To let the Zhong Family accept him, of course he had to use various ways to butter up his master.
Cheng Yun was excited. Setting the results aside, merely going through the procedures would give him large benefits.
...
...
“What is Tai Yinzi doing?”
The boss who just came back to the club frowned.
This was because an additional computer had appeared here and Tai Yinzi was sitting at the computer, typing Intently on the keyboard.
Typing using two fingers.
“You Ye said: “He said he wanted to learn more about the world, so he gave three extra workdays as payment in exchange for this computer.”
It was the servant girl—You Ye, who basically took charge of all the scheduling and management concerning the jobs of the black soul envoys.
It should have been the boss’s duty. However, it might be due to the fact that the previous boss was too passive, hence this work had been handed over to You Ye for hundreds of years.
As the new master...he thought that since she was experienced in that job, she would surely do a better job than him! Therefore he didn’t worry about that.
After all, You Ye had been always loyal...
Of course , under all kinds of reasons, black soul envoys worked for free for the club. Their soul already belonged to the club. So if they wanted something, they would have to exchange those items using good results.
Tai Yinzi’s serving time was 500 years. As he hadn’t completed any task, if he wanted something, he would have to increase his serving time for the club. Of course, the one who would work for such a long period of time was only him.
Luo Qiu simply gazed at him with his mouth opened wide. He then shook his head. “Install a firewall and an ad blocker on the computer. This guy was definitely not someone that would cultivate Taoism with a pure heart even during five hundred years ago.”
‘If you simply want to know more about the outside world… Why are you clicking on so many small ads?’
‘Oh my god, he’s even going to register an account!!’
Under his master's’ aura, Tai Yinzi could merely run upstairs quietly while holding his laptop without uttering a word.
The reason he wasn’t allowed to access the Internet here was because—the way he laughed seemed like a perverted old man. Who would dare to leave him here and ruin the perfectly good atmosphere?
Luo Qiu sat down and said, ”How are the two sisters?”
You Ye said, “Tu Jiaqing’s stuffed her sister into the trunk that night after knocking her out. Then sent her to their old house.”
Not only did she report the process, the loyal servant girl had her own thoughts as well. “She should still be hesitating or still can’t eliminate a relative of her, so doesn't know what to do. At the moment, she intends to avoid letting people discover the true Tu Jiaya.”
Luo Qiu looked at You Ye, asking her curiously, “Do you think Tu Jiaqing will do it eventually ?”
You Ye spoke softly, “It has nothing to do with me. What You Ye concerns is when Tu Jiaqing will deliver on her promise.”
At that moment, the club's bell rang.
The one who entered was… Yang Taizi.
The old Taoist looked more energetic than last time. As they knew each other, Luo Qiu didn’t bother dressing up this time.
The boss seemed more kindly.
But Yang dare not regard this kindness as a goodwill.
“Have you found the transaction fee necessary to purchase the other half of the scripture?”
Yang Taizi revered the club. If he did not have a request, he would never come here for no reason.
The old monk didn't even know that one of his ancestors 500 years ago was typing on a laptop upstairs with a serious look. “No, I just want to confirm, if it is still here.”
Luo Qiu nodded firmly.
Yang Taizi said, “Great! I will come again to buy back the other half of Koan Sutra soon. Please don't sell it to others before that.”
Luo Qiu asked with interest, “Will you get some treasure later ?”
Yang Taizi didn’t answered his question and instead replied, “ I'll be back at most after three days.”
After saying that, Yang Taizi pushed open the door and left hurriedly. From his tensed expression, Luo Qiu thought he seemed like an evil demon that devoured human beings.
At this moment, the club’s boss, who was considered to be a demon in Yang Taizi’s view, was reading the Bible.
After a while, You Ye came up to Luo Qiu holding a thick hardcover, saying in a soft voice ,”Master, the transaction fees for two deals are about to mature. They should be collected.”
Luo Qiu was stunned.
Considering that the club existed for a long period of time, there should be more transactions that were completed rather than the few deals he made. Hence, just like the agreement with Tu Jiaqing, there must exist some deals where the souls of the purchasers would be taken after death.
The past deals would not be terminated merely because the boss had changed.
The club had always been the one giving before collecting.
At this point, Luo Qiu curiously accepted the account book.
