Chapter 8: Personal Action
"Why did you smoke so many cigarettes last night?"
Jin Suocheng turned his face faster than turning a page of a book, and he shouted angrily.
Before I could answer, Jin Suocheng said again: "Did you smoke two packs of cigarettes?"
While he was talking, he stretched out his legs and kicked the two empty cigarette boxes on the ground.
Those who didn't know would think that Jin Suocheng was concerned about my health.
But I knew that this was impossible.
"What's wrong? Can't I smoke?"
I was in a bad mood and asked him directly.
Jin Suocheng's face turned red with anger, and he pushed me hard.
He said viciously: "You are not forbidden to smoke, but you can't smoke so many cigarettes!"
I was silent immediately, thinking to myself, how much I smoke is none of your business? You are really nosy.
Just when I was complaining in my heart, Jin Suocheng suddenly told me a story.
He said that he had an old friend who died of smoking.
He smoked a whole pack of cigarettes in one night!
It is said that his friend was not smoking by himself.
Instead, there was a spirit possessing him, constantly sucking incense.
It was not until dawn that the spirit left his body.
As a result, his friend left the world completely when the first ray of sunlight fell on the world.
His death was extremely miserable, his whole body was shriveled, and the whole person looked like bacon roasted by smoke and fire!
After listening to Jin Suocheng's story, I shrugged indifferently.
He saw that I looked disapproving, and his face was full of regret.
"Hey! I'm concerned about you, do you understand?"
Jin Suocheng seemed to be so anxious that he said something against his will.
I laughed out loud when I heard this.
"Concerned about me? Are you trying to deceive the spirit?"
I couldn't help but speak out my thoughts directly.
Without waiting for Jin Suocheng to get angry, I changed the subject and asked him about what happened last night.
Asked him why he ran back to the company in the middle of the night.
Jin Suocheng's face became uncertain when he heard this.
"What do you mean? Did I go to the company last night?"
He obviously looked like he didn't know anything.
I thought to myself, just pretend, pretend as hard as you can!
"You went to the company at 11:50 last night and said three words to me, do you remember?"
I deliberately frightened him, thinking that he might have drunk too much last night and definitely couldn't remember.
"Which three words?"
Sure enough, Jin Suocheng asked me impatiently.
"Work hard."
I didn't hide it and told him the truth directly.
As a result, when Jin Suocheng heard these three words, he seemed to have seen a ghost, and he suddenly cried "ah", his legs softened and he sat down on the ground.
Seeing him like this, I was immediately shocked.
When I reached out to pull him, Jin Suocheng got up from the ground with his butt sticking out.
He hurried out, leaving a sentence without looking back: "I didn't go to the company last night!"
Jin Suocheng's words before leaving seemed to prove his "innocence".
I thought it was a bit funny, so I didn't take it seriously.
Just think that Jin Suocheng is full and has nothing to do, so he comes to me to have some fun and feel a sense of existence.
Leaders are all like this, they like to act like a fool in front of their subordinates.
Even if Jin Suocheng is just a small captain.
After washing my face to make myself more sober, I began to recall everything that happened last night.
All the things seemed to be connected together.
I just felt that there was a big black hand, about to press down on me and crush me to pieces!
It was like the Buddha's palm, pressing down the Monkey King.
Thinking of this, I laughed at myself, shook my head hard, and threw all the nonsense out of my mind.
The longevity lock was broken last night, which was enough to show that the longevity lock had lost its effectiveness.
And Lin Hualong asked me to drive for 49 days, so what should I use to ward off disaster tonight?
Realizing the strong sense of crisis, I couldn't help but change my clothes and go out, planning to go to Lin Hualong again and ask him to save me.
At 8:30 in the evening, I knocked on Lin Hualong's door.
This time, Lin Hualong opened the door very quickly.
When he saw that it was me, he looked as if he had expected it.
"Are you here? Come in and sit down."
Lin Hualong's sarcastic voice made me feel inexplicably relieved at this moment.
If it were any other time, I would be disgusted by this kind of sarcastic tone.
But now, Lin Hualong is my life-saving straw.
I suddenly remembered what Sun Laoqi said to me last night. He said that Lin Hualong was a charlatan who could cheat people out of their fortunes.
I not only didn't believe it, but even sneered at it.
If Sun Laoqi could be as capable as Lin Hualong and could save me, I would believe him without hesitation.
After all, Lin Hualong is my lifesaver.
Moreover, from the first time we met yesterday to now, Lin Hualong has never asked me for a penny.
This is enough to show that Lin Hualong is not a charlatan.
"What are you thinking about? You almost died last night, right? Are you scared?"
Just as I lowered my head in thought, Lin Hualong's voice suddenly rang out.
I just came back to my senses and laughed dryly at him: "Nothing."
"Nothing?"
Lin Hualong's eyes narrowed instantly.
He stared at me intently, as if he wanted to see through me.
I didn't do anything wrong, so I was naturally not afraid of being stared at.
Besides, when he stared at me, I felt a sense of intimacy in my heart.
I can feel that there are still people in this world who know whether I live or die.
"You touched something you shouldn't have touched last night, but you were in a hurry."
Lin Hualong's words were inexplicable, leaving me confused.
I looked at him with a puzzled look, but Lin Hualong didn't explain.
He shook his head and sighed, saying that those things couldn't be restrained after all.
"What are those things?"
I asked him in panic.
In fact, I already have the answer in my heart, but I'm not sure.
Lin Hualong opened his mouth, looking like he wanted to say something but stopped.
I saw this and quickly handed him a cigarette. When he took it and put it in his mouth, I took the initiative to light it for him.
"The secret cannot be revealed."
After taking a deep breath, Lin Hualong slowly uttered a sentence, which made me speechless.
Seeing that he looked like he was talking nonsense, he should not say it.
I knew it in my heart, so I didn't ask more questions, but just quietly stood aside and waited for him to finish smoking the cigarette.
A few minutes later, Lin Hualong flicked the cigarette butt away.
He suddenly turned and entered a messy bedroom, fiddled with it for more than ten minutes, and then walked out of the bedroom.
When he came to me again, he had a big snakeskin bag in his hand.
The snakeskin bag was on his back and looked heavy.
"Master Lin, what are you doing?"
I asked in confusion, thinking that he might want to accompany me on this trip tonight?
