Chapter 40 - The Auspicious Apartment in the North of the City

Chapter 40 The Auspicious Apartment in the North of the City

In a luxurious Manor.

Green pines and cypresses are surrounded by high walls, rockery and flowing water. In the middle was a huge lake. When the breeze blew, the waves sparkled, and it was beautiful beyond words.

At that moment, a slender young man in casual clothing was lying on a beach chair, leisurely basking in the sun. He was born with a noble temperament, which made him exude an arrogant aura.

There were rows of girls in maid uniforms beside him, and a blonde maid with blue eyes walked over with a phone in her hand.

She knelt in front of the haughty man and raised her hands over her head, respectfully handing over the phone.

After picking up, the person on the other end of the phone began to report on work.

“Destroy the plan… Kill him immediately…”

It was normal at first, until the sound of burning flames and the sound of some beads being stepped on came from the other end of the phone.

The young man’s relaxed expression gradually disappeared. At that time, a woman’s voice came from the phone.

11**** II

The woman spoke very quickly. He couldn’t exactly hear what she was saying.

Ten seconds later, the other party hung up.

A moment later, the young man said indifferently, “Go Investigate an awakened named Qiao Yuan in Yueyang City. I want all the information you can find on him.”

Then, he threw the phone into the lake.

The maidservant who was kneeling on the ground stood up and retreated.

“Wait…”

A strange look flashed through the arrogant young man’s eyes.

“Your eyes are beautiful. I want them!”

Plop

The maidservant immediately knelt on the ground, trembling and begging for mercy.

The row of girls behind him trembled. They were clearly terrified, but they didn’t take half a step back, nor did they run.

Because in this place… This young master was the heavens!

(Energy points +6]

In the villa.

Qiao Yuan played Li Xiaoling’s professional [blessing), but there was no sound from the other end of the phone.

“It doesn’t look like a spirit. There’s a high chance it’s a human.”

If it was a spirit, she would have heard the meaning behind Li Xiaoling’s words of blessing. With their temper, they wouldn’t have ignored her.

Only humans could not understand.

There was someone behind this paper man, and it was very likely to be an awakened.

From the looks of it, he was about to come into contact with the awakened circle.

But…

Qiao Yuan’s gaze shifted to the pile of ashes. It was made of the same material as the woman in the mirror. The only difference was the pair of eyes!

It looked as if it had just been dug out.

What was the matter with Gao Tao’s death?

The awakened were involved… Was it an accident or a vendetta?

Qiao Yuan carefully recalled Gao Tao’s previous actions and combed through them again. He did find many unusual small details.

It was so hot outside, but he didn’t sweat.

When he returned home, the security guard seemed to be surprised that he had made it back.

His clothes were also slightly wet from the hot water, but he was in a hurry to go back to the bedroom to change.

All these. Were they worried about exposing themselves?

It has to be said that it was very similar, very perfect. Under the premise of not looking after the facts, almost no one could notice these abnormalities.

It would feel terrified when it ran into someone, and even the adoring look it had when it was telling the story, and the fear and struggle it showed after knowing the true identity of the woman in the mirror.

Other than a few taboo points. It was exactly the same as a real person.

So… Was Gao Tao, who I met the first time I was hit, alive or dead?

Suddenly, another thought came to Qiao Yuan’s mind.

Gao Tao’s family had encountered an accident, and if he hadn’t discovered it by chance, Gao Tao would probably still be living in the human world as a human. What was the purpose of replacing a human?

Gao Tao’s identity was nothing special. If there was, it would be his family property!

The person behind him wanted to take over his family property? Competitors?

Qiao Yuan had a feeling that things weren’t that simple. There was no need to go through so much trouble just for money.

With this kind of ability, why would he be afraid of not having money?

From the looks of it, the waters in the awakened circle ran deep.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Qiao Yuan started to check his gains.

In total, he received one million yuan in cash and ten energy points.

In other words, his energy level had reached 18 points.

It was a good deal to be able to get so many energy points in one day.

He picked up his phone and recorded the unknown number. Then, he sent it to Li Xiaoling and asked her to help him report it.

After telling her the important details, this matter was temporarily unrelated to him.

If the sky were to fall, it should be held up by tall ones. He was only 1.8 meters tall, too short.

Leaving the villa was also a problem. Unlike the previous few times, it was impossible for this kind of place to not have surveillance cameras, it would not waste much time if he really wanted to check.

He had to improve his strength again before he was exposed.

It was urgent, he had to learn an attack technique.

His energy points were far from enough!

A mere 18-point difference was too much. If he wanted to learn, he had to learn it well. Those moves that could be learned at 20-something points were better off.

It was already six o’clock in the evening when he got home. Qiao Yuan, who was continuing his training, received a message from his landlord, sister Li.

“Xiao Qiao, have you found a job recently? It’s been a long time since I was fired, it’s time to get over it … Besides, it’s not good to stay at home all day. You’re still young, you can’t just lie down.”

“I have a sister whose daughter owns a beauty salon. Do you want me to help you?”

Qiao Yuan quickly replied, “Sister Li, I’m a man!”

Sister Li asked, “What are you thinking?” What I mean is that my sister’s daughter is the store manager. If you go over and get her, you’ll have a girlfriend and a career!”

“As for my niece, I don’t know what her parents are thinking. They’ve arranged a few more blind dates for her. You two are destined not to be together.”

Qiao Yuan was speechless.

“What about hair?” I have resources in this area too, and I happen to have a friend…

Qiao Yuan: “Sister Li, look, I’ll come clean. I have a million!”

Qiao Yuan sent a screenshot of his bank balance.

After a while, sister Li sent a message.

“Xiao Qiao, where did you learn your Photoshop skills from? Teach me when you’re free.”

Qiao Yuan was speechless.

“Alright, I’m done talking to you. I have something to do in Yueyang City. I have to deal with your Godfather’s matter. I won’t be back for next month. When I come back, I hope you can give me a good grandson.”

Putting away his phone, Qiao Yuan’s mind was a mess.

In a month’s time, I’m afraid I’ll have to go to the hospital’s delivery room to take over the job in order to realize sister Li’s unrealistic dream.

“Godfather?”

Qiao Yuan repeated the name a few times. Although they had never formally paid their respects to each other, sister Li had always claimed to be his Godmother, so his Godfather must be her husband.

Recalling the memories in his mind, his Godfather was a successful business man. He started a company with someone else, and his business was quite good. However, he accidentally fell off a building and died half a year ago.

Eh?

Fell to his death?

[The first commandment, group chat]

“@All members!”

AAA… Looking for a job? Look for Yang. “Brothers, is there anyone who wants to work part-time in Yueyang City? Local people come quickly. It’s quick and easy. Two hundred yuan an hour. You can earn money while lying down!”

A smiling man with his arms crossed, wearing a suit and tie posted a recruitment notice on his profile account. The group immediately became lively again.

“@AAA.. Looking for a job? Look for little Yang. Dirty, shameless, hooligan. I’m going to sue you for involving the Emperor!”

“Yang, is the job you’re talking about serious? There aren’t any gender requirements, right? I’m warning you, don’t discriminate against men. Otherwise, I’ll punch you.”

“When someone teaches you how to make money, he just wants to make money from you or make you help him make money.”

“Administrator, kick him out. He’s a scammer, and he’s using the same trick to cheat customers. The last time I was in another group, someone told me that it was easy to make money. In the end, out of the 500 people in the group, 499 of them were scammers, and I was the only victim. Scammers will die a horrible death!”

For a moment, the crowd was furious!

It was obvious that everyone had a high awareness of fraud.

Qiao Yuan smiled and didn’t think much of it. The things on the internet were true and false, so it was good to be on guard.

AAA… Looking for a job? Look for little Yang: “Do you still remember our conversation about lucky apartments in the North of Yueyang City? It was the owner of that apartment who posted the message. I’m only reposting it on his behalf. He’s hiring three test sleeper agents at haunted houses. It’s more than 2000 yuan a night!”

The haunted house’s sleep tester?

ove

Qiao Yuan’s interest was piqued. He had some understanding of this job. It was nothing more than hiring some bold people to move into the haunted house and prove that the haunted house was fine. Only then would the boss behind the scenes sell the haunted house again.

“@AAA… Looking for a Job? Look for Little Yang. Is this for real? I heard that five or six people died in that apartment, and the police haven’t caught the murderer yet. I suspect it’s that kind of thing!”

“That’s right, that’s right. This kind of money isn’t easy to earn. It’s at the cost of your life!”

“That’s right, not even a dog will go!” Qiao Yuan’s eyes lit up. His curiosity had been piqued, he had almost forgotten about this!

This incident could be said to have fermented for a week or two, and he also wanted to know what happened after that.

So @AAA… I’m looking for a job and Little

Yang.

“Have you caught the (murderer]?”

Qiao Yuan was very sure that the murderer was a spirit!

AAA… Looking for a job? Look for little Yang: “Don’t worry, the murderer has been caught, and the case has been solved. It’s just that the case is still under interrogation, so it hasn’t been made public. I can guarantee it on my honour.”

Qiao Yuan shook his head and put down his phone. He was suddenly bored. The spirit had been caught, so there was no need for him to get involved. It was only a few thousand yuan. It was not worth his trip.

AAA… Looking for a job? Look for little Yang: “If you’re interested, you can sign up with me as soon as possible. The deadline is 12 tonight. If you perform well, we can work together for the long term.”

“I’ll tell you a joke. The agent guarantees it with his character.”

“Hehe, only a dog will go.”

“I’ll sign up. Other than looking like a human, I’m pretty much like a dog.”

“There is only one kind of ghost in this world, and that is the poor ghost!”

“I’ve already bought a huge amount of insurance. I’ll sign up!”

“I’m just about to get a new phone. I’ll sign

up too!”

After thinking for a while, Qiao Yuan, who had a nagging feeling that something was wrong, looked at the news again. If the murderer had really been caught, it would have been reported. After all, this was a good thing that inspired people.

“Has this incident ended yet?”

Qiao Yuan hesitated. After all, they were in the north of the city, which was 50 to 60 kilometers away from him. It was not worth it to make a wasted trip.

After much thought, Qiao Yuan decided to ask someone who knew some inside information.

Find “Flowers bloom in wealth”

Qiao Yuan sent a message.

“Li Xiaoling, the last time I made an official call, didn’t a staff member called Captain Hua Wu give me a number?”

Whoosh

Li Xiaoling replied very quickly. “Yes, I am.”

Qiao Yuan: “give them a call and ask them about the situation in lucky apartments in the north of the city. The more detailed, the better. Thank you!”

A minute passed, but Li Xiaoling didn’t reply.

“Are you there?” Qiao Yuan asked.

“Yes!” Li Xiaoling replied.

“Did you get rich?” Qiao Yuan asked. “I wouldn’t dare!”

“Why not?” Qiao Yuan asked with a frown:

On the other side of the city, after Li Xiaoling finished her shower, she walked out of the bathroom in a white bathrobe, her hair still dripping with crystal clear water droplets. She was speechless when she saw Qiao Yuan’s message.

“He’s an official and I’m a thief. There’s class suppression. I’m afraid he’ll kill me!”

“Why weren’t you afraid last time?” Qiao Yuan asked.

Li Xiaoling: “Last time, you were beside me. You were the mastermind. I was the accomplice!”

“Use my name,” Qiao Yuan replied. “Just don’t expose my identity.”

“If you put it that way… I won’t be afraid anymore.”

Qiao Yuan was immediately speechless again.
