Chapter 126 I have a clear conscience as promised
"Leon, that female ghost in red, you started too quickly."
After rejoining Leon, the two walked towards the coffee shop. Liao Wenjie frowned and said, "According to my observation, except for the female ghost, no other evil ghost can leave the Glow Building. It should be..."
"You don't have to, that female ghost just jumped off the building and died."
Leon interrupted directly and said impatiently: "She was looking for a substitute and just hooked up with a handsome boy. Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise she wouldn't have jumped off the building."
Regarding ghosts looking for substitutes, Uncle Jiu once told Liao Wenjie that some ghosts who died violently had a lot of resentment and could not leave the place where they died.
If you want to escape, you must find a scapegoat to take your place, and you cannot kill indiscriminately, and you must die in the same way.
But this kind of situation is very rare. In most cases, it is water ghosts and hanged ghosts looking for substitutes. The number of evil ghosts gathered in Glow Building obviously exceeds the limit.
Liao Wenjie expressed his doubts, and Leon shook his head repeatedly.
"I don't know about this. I'm a ghost catching expert, not a supernatural detective. Let Lao Zhong take a look. Maybe it's a feng shui problem. He's better at this."
"Hey, you won't compare this time?"
Liao Wenjie was surprised. Leon had always had a high opinion of himself, and it was even harder for him to bow his head and submit. This was the first time he took the initiative to compliment Zhong Fabai.
"Things should be prioritized. I still have big things to do, so I don't mind saving face."
Leon pushed up his sunglasses, his intuition telling him that he could get what he wanted with a little trick tonight.
It's not nonsense. Every time he has this intuition, everything comes true and he never fails.
Stable!
The two walked into the coffee shop and saw Pat and three people on the horizontal table by the window. They all moved in unison. They all put their hands on the table and hugged their coffee cups, shivering occasionally.
Too frightened and haven't come out yet.
"Two masters, it's great to have you back. How is the building? Is it done?" Manager Wang stood up and asked.
Leon skillfully held Pat's shoulders and comforted her frightened little heart. Liao Wenjie took over the words: "There are a total of fourteen evil ghosts, and Leon and I killed them all. For now, there are only some harmless ones left in the building. The wandering ghosts are now safe."
"Master, what is the current situation?"
"The situation in Glow Building is a bit special. There will be ghosts in the future..."
Liao Wenjie gave an ambiguous reply. It was his own speculation that the building attracted evil spirits and trapped them inside, which has not yet been confirmed.
There is also another possibility that the evil ghosts died in the building and became existences like earth-bound spirits. They couldn't get out even if they wanted to, so they looked for substitutes to replace them.
"Master, what should I do?"
Manager Wang's face turned pale: "If we move the company out, will there be no problem?"
Pat said: "Master, I heard someone say before that several office workers die every year in the Glow Building. I don't know if it's true."
"I don't know. I haven't investigated it."
Liao Wenjie glanced at Pat who was still in shock, curled his lips slightly, and gave Lyon an assist: "As for the rumors you heard, to put it bluntly, are you sure they were said by people and not ghosts?"
"ah!"
Pat trembled after hearing this and lay in Leon's arms without daring to raise her head. The latter patted her shoulder and silently gave Liao Wenjie a look.
Well done bro!
Because he was wearing sunglasses, Liao Wenjie didn't see his eyes and continued: "Manager Wang, don't rush to move now. There is another colleague in our company whose Taoism is not as high as mine and Leon. I will let him come tomorrow If you take a trip to Glow Building and solve the problem once and for all, you won’t have to move.”
"There is actually a master. Why didn't he come today?"
"He is very busy. He is suppressing a ghost nest. He will not be free until I change the guard tomorrow."
Liao Wenjie explained and continued: "Leave your phone number and I will ask him to contact you tomorrow."
"It should, it must."
Manager Wang took out the business card from his pocket, handed it to Liao Wenjie with both hands, and complimented: "Master, your company has countless masters, all of whom are very capable. I am ignorant and want to know the name of your company."
"Sanjie Paranormal Consulting Company."
Liao Wenjie said: "It's not that you are ignorant, but the company is still in preparation and has not yet opened for business."
Cheng Wenjing had previously helped to apply for documents and asked about the company name. Liao Wenjie reported a dozen nice and impressive names at once, but all of them were registered and could not be used.
In desperation, he took out his alternate name, and this was the only one that worked.
"???"
A string of question marks floated over Leon's forehead, and he stopped raising and lowering his hands to Pat... Ahem, he stopped patting his shoulders to comfort him, and said dissatisfied: "Ajie, why haven't I heard you mention the name of the company before?"
"I mentioned it, you just didn't pay attention."
"Yeah?"
Leon tilted his head, unable to recall this incident, and continued: "Why is your name in the company name but not mine? This is unfair, I have to add it too."
"Stop making trouble, where is my name?"
"Sanjie Paranormal Consulting Company, Liao Wenjie... isn't it?"
"Of course not. The Three Heroes refer to you, me, and Lao Zhong. It just happens that my name also has 'Jie' in it. It's purely a coincidence."
Liao Wenjie shrugged. He didn't have any selfish motives in choosing the name. It was Leon who thought too much and judged a gentleman with a villain's heart.
"I don't believe it. According to you, either the Three Heroes or the Three Ultimates are fine. Why does it have to be the Three Heroes? It's obviously to save your face."
"I told you that you think too much, but I still don't believe it..."
Liao Wenjie curled his lips and struggled to explain: "In ancient times, there were the Three Heroes of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Three Heroes of the Warring States Period, and the Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty. Today, we have you, me, and Lao Zhong working together. They can also be called the Three Heroes together. I use the ancient to describe the present. When I hear it, It is very cultured. The Three Heroes and Three Uniques make it clear that it is a company run by minions. It is very domineering but falls into the cliché, which is inappropriate."
"Oh, you said I'm uneducated and vulgar!"
"I didn't say that. Of course, if you insist on saying that you are literate, I have no problem with it. Tell me, who are the three heroes of the Spring and Autumn Period? I will believe you if you tell me." Liao Wenjie curled his lips and bet fifty cents. Leon couldn't tell.
"Leon, Leon, Lily."
Leon gave a standard answer. The standard answer in his heart is applicable to any period.
I knew it!
Liao Wenjie said he could accept it. As long as Lyon didn't say '10% in two weeks', he would accept it.
"Huh, I'm too lazy to tell you more."
Leon murmured and pulled up Pat beside him. The latter had an evil spirit entering his body and would be cured sooner rather than later. There could be no further delay.
"Pat, do you know where the nearest hotel is?"
"What are you going to the hotel for?"
"Actually, it would be better to go to your house, but I'm afraid the distance is too far and you won't be able to wait until that time."
"My home is nearby, a five-minute walk. I rent a private apartment."
"Okay, let's go to your house."
Bah, scum!
Liao Wenjie watched the two people leave with great contempt in his heart. He turned around and looked at Manager Wang and Daochang Zhang with a smile.
"Master, do you have any other advice?" Manager Wang felt restless.
"Of course."
Liao Wenjie stretched out his hand: "As agreed before, the scammers can charge one hundred thousand. The appearance fee for Leon and I will be at least ten times higher. The two of us add up to two million."
"Ah, are you serious?"
"Otherwise, are the fourteen evil ghosts fake, and saving your life is also fake?"
Liao Wenjie said angrily: "Don't say I cheated you. My colleague will go there tomorrow. If everything is done, I will charge you 3 million. If not, I will only charge you 1 million to buy your life."
"Master, can you do it tonight?"
"cannot."
"..."
Manager Wang's mouth twitched. He was a businessman and had seen this kind of routine before. He thought that it was a good thing it was Sanjie Paranormal Consulting Company instead of Thirty Jie Paranormal Consulting Company. Otherwise, it would have taken at least a month to get it done.
"But Master, I'm just a part-time worker and I can't afford so much money."
"Go to your boss. If he doesn't believe it, I'll catch two ghosts and come to your door another day. He'll believe it after reading it."
"..."
Manager Wang began to shut himself up, and Liao Wenjie turned to look at Daoist Zhang, and said with a smile: "Fooling Daoist Master, your one million life money can be settled now."
"Ah, I want to give it too?"
Taoist Zhang trembled when he heard this. He stayed and did not leave simply because it was too dark outside and he did not dare to walk alone at night.
I told you that it would cost one million, and I would have to climb home even if I climb hard.
Having seen Liao Wenjie and Leon's brutal ghost-killing methods, he dared not deny it, but...
"Master, I'm just a small-time liar, barely making ends meet, and I can't afford a million!"
"It doesn't matter if you can't take it out. If you buy some of our company's products, you will be more protected when you go out to deceive people in the future." Liao Wenjie chuckled. There is still room for this business.
In Hong Kong Island, there are many liars like Taoist Zhang. There are ten times as many fake Taoists as there are real Taoists, and there are hundreds of times as many fake monks and nuns included.
Selling Daochang Zhang an amulet can not only increase sales among the scammers, but also cast a wide net to harvest a batch of side tasks.
Manager Gao, a businessman who only cares about Feng Shui, can bump into ghosts, but a liar like Daozhang Zhang is more likely to bump into ghosts. If he really bumps into ghosts one day, he will be the first one to come to your door for help.
…
In the hospital, Liao Wenjie walked into the ward with plastic wrap.
Manager Gao's wife was away, so he didn't care about it. He tore off the plastic wrap and released his soul.
Manager Gao burst into tears of gratitude and couldn't wait to climb onto the bed and pounce on himself.
Five minutes later, his eyelids twitched, he slowly opened his eyes, and thanked him again: "Ajie, thank you so much this time, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do in my family."
"It's easy to say. Next time you encounter a ghost, remember to contact me."
"You tortured me to death for once, so don't do it next time..." Manager Gao shook his head repeatedly, he was really scared.
"Is there any next time? It doesn't matter what you say. As I said before, if you walk too much at night, you will inevitably encounter ghosts."
Liao Wenjie checked twice to make sure that Manager Gao's soul was back and there was no serious problem. He reached out and untied him: "But don't worry, considering the relationship between us, if you come to me, it will be free for you."
"Ajie, be righteous!"
Manager Gao was overjoyed. If he had said it would be free, he wouldn't panic.
"That's right. It's our responsibility to eliminate demons and protect the Tao. The one who catches ghosts and subjugates demons is someone with a clear conscience. Money or not, it doesn't actually matter." Liao Wenjie said with a serious face.
"Exalted style!"
Manager Gao was in awe. With this thought and awareness, Liao Wenjie deserved to learn a skill at such a young age.
"By the way, Manager Gao, how much discount can I get for the decoration discount you mentioned last time?"
Liao Wenjie changed the topic and said sincerely: "I have one thing to say, although I saved your life, it is equivalent to indirectly saving your whole family. The kindness is more important than Mount Tai, but it is public and private. It is absolutely not free. Let's give it a 30% discount." You might as well have an explanation for the company."
"Ajie, 20% off is a huge deal, and even 30% off the cost can't be recovered."
Manager Gao's face darkened, fearing that Liao Wenjie would be unhappy, so he hurriedly explained: "It's not that I won't help you, I'm just a small shareholder and don't have such great power."
"Okay, we can distinguish between public and private affairs. As expected of you, I saw the right person."
Liao Wenjie gave a thumbs up, with admiration on his face, and said: "In this case, we should settle the accounts as brothers. I saved your life, and now I will calculate the cost with you, round off the fractions, and charge you one million."
"Ah this..."
Manager Gao was dumbfounded. Did he have a clear conscience?
"Manager Gao, to be honest, I opened a ghost-catching company. I have a business of looking at feng shui, but I don't have a business of contracting and decorating."
Liao Wenjie raised his eyebrows and patted Manager Gao on the shoulder: "You should understand what I said, right?"
understood.
Manager Gao nodded. Liao Wenjie and Leon have real skills. They will not be short of customers in the future. The soup is enough for several companies. Hold on tight.
"Ajie, no, Mr. Liao, what discount do you think is more appropriate? I'll discuss it with other shareholders."
"free!"
After Liao Wenjie finished speaking, he added with a serious face: "It's not that I'm greedy, but that if your company wants to make money, it must show sincerity that I can't refuse."
Manager Gao: "..."
If you don't do business, you are really underestimating your talent!
