Chapter 160 The New Battle
Once he was back at the hotel, Ye Shaoyang contacted Xie Yuqing to update each other before he went to sleep . Xie Yuqing was still searching for Jin Shuai, but she had confirmed his location at a mountain area nearby, so her team was tracking him down .
“Little Trickster, where are you going next?” asked Xie Yuqing .
“I have two more places to go . I will look at the map later and inform you after I have decided . ”
They exchanged words of concern for before they hung up . Ye Shaoyang then gave Zhou Jingru a call and told her the whole incident as well as what he told Xie Yuqing . Zhou Jingru was happy to know about his current condition .
After small talk, Zhou Jingru said, “There is a something I need to tell you . Do you still remember Director Li Ansheng the person in charge of the Evergreen Villa? You met him once . He might call you for help, but you can reject him . You don't need to help him just because he works for me . ”
Ye Shaoyang vaguely remembered Director Li and asked, “Why would he need my help?”
“He claims that his younger brother has been possessed, and his condition is bad . He called me to ask for your help, but I told him that you have been very busy recently . He said that his younger brother lives in the Li Clan’s Village Waterfront, which is a half an hour drive from the Evergreen Villa . It was difficult for me to reject him, so I gave him your contact information . He will probably call you tomorrow . ”
“I see . The distance does not matter . . . hold on, could you repeat where his younger brother lives?” Ye Shaoyang frowned as he asked .
“The Li Clan’s Village Waterfront . Why?”
“Wait a second . ”
Ye Shaoyang dropped his phone and took out a printed map from his backpack . Among the four names circled in red ink, the Li Clan’s Village Waterfront was one of them . He remembered the name from the map .
Is the case of Director Li’s younger brother related to the Five Spirits Moving Mountain Formation?
Since he was going to the village soon, he could do Director Li a favor . If the case of his younger brother was related to the formation, he could also get some clues from him . He explained his thoughts to Zhou Jingru and asked her to pass on the message to Director Li that he would meet him at the Evergreen Villa in the afternoon tomorrow .
Zhou Jingru agreed and said she would also be there .
The next morning, Ye Shaoyang briefed Xiao Ma and Old Guo about the situation . However, Old Guo asked the two of them to go first . He would remain on standby at his shop so they could find him for help at any time . Xiao Ma had just earned ten thousand Yuan . Since he reaped benefits the first time, he insisted on following Ye Shaoyang and did not want to go back .
After they got their belongings, Old Guo drove them to the Evergreen Villa in his old junk car . After he dropped both of them at the villa, he drove back to his home alone .
Once they stepped through the main gate of the construction area of the villa, a fat man in western-style clothes and leather shoes came out from an office and greeted them warmly . He introduced himself while he shook hands with Ye Shaoyang .
“I’m Li Ansheng, the person in charge of this villa . Miss Zhou asked me to wait for you here . ”
“Hi, Director Li . ”
Ye Shaoyang sized him up . He had a plump forehead and a wealthy appearance . He was only in his thirties and he could handle such grand project, so he was probably an extraordinary man .
Li Ansheng waved his hand and said, “Mr . Ye, please don’t call me Director . I am only slightly older than you . Call me Big Brother Li . Please wait for a second, I will drive my car here and we will go to the villa . Miss Zhou is waiting for you there . ”
Li Ansheng walked to the back of the office and drove out an Audi . When he pulled up, he invited both of them into his car .
A pretty woman in formal attire welcomed them upon their arrival . She was the public relations manager that Ye Shaoyang met once before in the villa . She was young and sweet and caught Xiao Ma’s attention immediately .
“Let me introduce you to the public relations manager of our company, Wang Ping . You are our VIP, so I called Wang Ping over to assist . ”
Wang Ping invited Ye Shaoyang and Xiao Ma into a private room politely . Zhou Jingru was delighted .
She smiled, “I am so sorry to trouble you again, Big Brother Shaoyang . ”
“No trouble at all since I had already planned to go there . ”
As he finished, he gently tapped Xiao Ma’s thigh . He had planned to let Xiao Ma offer a price for helping Li Ansheng’s younger brother since he felt awkward receiving money from Li Ansheng due to his close relationship with Zhou Jingru .
However, Xiao Ma seemed like he did not get the hint . He sat beside Wang Ping and spoke warmly with her .
“Hi, pretty girl, you have a special aura and an elegant forehead . You will become rich in the future, but I can see that your Yintang is dark . Have any strange incidents happened to you recently?”
The pretty woman frowned and thought for a moment . Then, she covered her mouth and said, “Two of my colleagues have died in odd ways recently . ”
Ye Shaoyang knew that she was talking about the Manager Zhang and the security guard .
Xiao Ma tried to act profoundly and said, “That’s it! You have been contaminated by Corpse Qi . Your hand, please . I will do a palm-reading for you . ” He grabbed the lady’s hands and simply touched them . Then, he frowned, “I’m afraid something catastrophic will happen to you . If you want to confirm further,” he said as he gazed at the lady’s slim figure before continuing, “I need to study your bone structure--”
‘Poohh!’ Zhou Jingru spat out a mouthful of tea . Xiao Ma’s actions left Ye Shaoyang speechless . He was embarrassed for bringing him along . Furthermore, Xiao Ma had not settled the essential issue of the payment . He could pick up with wooing the pretty girl later . Ye Shaoyang stomped on his foot .
Xiao Ma’s face immediately turned deep red and cried out in pain . Ye Shaoyang quickly whispered to him, “Money!”
Once Xiao Ma heard the word ‘money’, he reacted as though he felt no pain . He stopped screaming and forced a smile, “Director Li, I would like to discuss something with you . ”
Li Ansheng moved closer to Xiao Ma in a doubtful manner . Then, Xiao Ma started to whisper in his ear .
“What are they discussing?” Zhou Jingru curiously asked Ye Shaoyang .
“Nothing important . ” Ye Shaoyang quickly switched to another topic, “Has Tan Xiaohui come back?”
Zhou Jingru answered, “Oh, I almost forgot to tell you . She came back this morning, went to Madam Chee’s temple and met up with Officer Xie to get details and left . Before she left, she told me she is going to search for Jin Shuai and would be back once she had some clues . ”
Ye Shaoyang frowned and asked, “Did she mention if she knew Jin Shuai?”
Zhou Jingru shook her head, “She said that it was complicated and she had no time to explain . She will contact you once she finds Jin Shuai . I could not reach her through the phone once she had advanced onto the mountain . Is she in danger, Big Brother Shaoyang?”
