Chapter 625: Zombies

Lu Yongyu looked coldly at Lu Yongfu and said, "What are you trying to do?"

"What am I trying to do?" Lu Yongfu sneered and said, "You kept such an important matter as the Chairman's disappearance from all the shareholders; I should be the one asking you what you are trying to do!"

"Furthermore, with the Chairman being so unreliable, I don't think there is any need for our Lu family's investments to continue. I propose a transfer of equity!"

Upon hearing Lu Yongfu's words, Lu Yongyu finally knew what he wanted to do.

She immediately sneered: "Lu Yongfu, I heard you have been getting very close to the people from the Real Estate Chamber of Commerce! Jumping out so anxiously, are you planning to transfer your shares to the Real Estate Chamber of Commerce? What benefits did they promise you!"

Lu Yongfu had not expected that Lu Yongyu would actually know about their sneaky little actions behind the scenes.

He suddenly appeared somewhat flustered.

But at this moment, Lu Jinqiang suddenly spoke up: "A-Yu, people climb to higher places and water flows to lower ones; there is no need for us to notify you of what we intend to do!"

Lu Jinqiang appeared to be helping Lu Yongfu out of a tight spot, but he was implicitly telling Lu Yongyu that there was more to this.

Lu Yongfu took a document, slammed it onto the table, and said coldly: "We want to transfer our equity. As long as there isn't a majority vote against it, you have no right to stop us!"

After slamming the document down, Lu Yongfu and the others stood up directly and turned to leave the conference room.

Seeing this scene, the small shareholders in the audience had varied expressions, and it was unknown what they were thinking in their hearts.

As for Lu Yongyu, her expression at this moment was extremely ugly.

They dared to be so arrogant because they must have a way to deal with Huo Yingnan; otherwise, as soon as Huo Yingnan appeared, their actions would be a complete joke.

It was just that Lu Yongyu could not imagine what they could possibly rely on to deal with Huo Xiansheng?...

On the other side, in the space-time where Chen Jiajun was.

Chen Jiajun followed Yan Shu to purchase enough daily necessities and figured out the surrounding environment.

Although not many people lived in this village, the surrounding amenities were quite complete.

There was even a wet market spontaneously organized by the villagers, so life could be considered convenient.

After settling the daily necessities, Chen Jiajun came to Chen You's food stall.

It was currently mealtime, and the food stall was full of people.

Chen Jiajun looked at Chen You curiously and said: "Your business is quite good!"

"Good my foot, they are all neighbors; they just eat a bite here because they are too lazy to cook!" Chen You said to Chen Jiajun while stir-frying rice: "You find a place to sit first."

Chen Jiajun nodded and found an empty seat to sit down.

The number of households in this village should not exceed twenty, and most of them had families.

The first thing Chen Jiajun noticed was a family of four.

A husband and wife, they looked very loving.

The wife seemed to be pregnant, so the two were eating very light food.

On the other side was an elderly couple; the two looked very loving, and the woman was the boss of a nearby tailor and laundry shop.

Seeing a strange face like Chen Jiajun, the old woman greeted him very enthusiastically, asking if Chen Jiajun had just moved in recently and saying he could find her if he needed laundry services in the future.

During the small talk, Chen Jiajun learned the names of this old couple. The old man was called A-Dong, and the old woman was called Mei Yi.

They were famous good-natured people in this village.

After waiting for a moment, Chen You finished cooking the dishes, then brought over two plates of food and a pot of wine.

"Eat whatever for now!" After Chen You put them down, he poured himself a cup.

Chen Jiajun was not polite either; after pouring himself a cup, he asked: "With so many households here, won't there be an impact? I see at least twenty-some households."

Chen You said indifferently: "Do you know why these people live here? Because they are poor! Do you think they have a choice?"

The two drank and chatted until the customers had mostly left.

Chen Jiajun then helped Chen You close the stall and came to Chen You's home.

"Wow, you have so many magical artifacts at home?" Chen Jiajun looked around Chen You's home curiously and said to Chen You with a smile.

Chen You said helplessly: "My senior brother went to be a Police officer back then, so my master—who was also my biological father—handed all the magical artifacts to me!"

"Where is the old gentleman?" Chen Jiajun's eyes lit up, and he asked curiously: "He should be more powerful than both you brothers, right?"

Chen You's tone suddenly turned low as he said: "He died decades ago!"

"Ah? Sorry!" Chen Jiajun apologized immediately: "I didn't know..."

Chen You waved his hand and said: "In our line of work, it's hard to have a peaceful end. When he went to help someone, his heart was pierced by a fierce ghost. Although the fierce ghost was also scattered by him, he couldn't be saved! Then, I naturally took over his mantle."

"However, although my senior brother passed the exam to be a Police officer, he was much better at practicing this craft than I am. By rights, he should have taken my father's position. It's just that I didn't expect he would end up like this too."

After listening to Chen You's words, Chen Jiajun fell silent for a moment.

Perhaps people like Lin Fengqiao and Chen You were the only ones worthy of the title of practitioner! "Alright, enough nonsense!" Chen You took a stack of ancient books from the bookcase and placed them on the table: "You are literate, right?"

Chen Jiajun rolled his eyes indignantly and said: "Who are you looking down on?"

"I thought you big bosses of the underworld were all illiterate!" Chen You said with a smile: "Check them with me!"

Chen Jiajun had no choice but to follow Chen You in flipping through these ancient books.

It had to be said that Chen You's lineage really had some depth; according to the records in the ancient books, their lineage originated during the Republic of China era.

From that time on, they had been helping people catch zombies and exorcise ghosts and evil spirits.

Chen Jiajun carefully flipped through the ancient books, but apart from some strange records, there were no clues regarding space-time.

The two searched by the light until twelve o'clock at night, their eyes feeling sore and swollen.

"Alright, let's stop here for today!" Chen You stretched and sighed.

Chen Jiajun followed suit and could only return to his own home to prepare for a sleep.

Having been busy all day, he was also a bit tired.

Just after returning to his room and lying down, Chen Jiajun suddenly heard a "creak" sound coming from the doorway.

Annoyed, Chen Jiajun had no choice but to get up, preparing to see who it was.

Through the peephole at the door, Chen Jiajun saw a broken children's bicycle suddenly appear outside his room.

He was certain that he had absolutely not seen this thing before he returned.

Chen Jiajun immediately became alert and slowly pushed the door open.

The housing estate in the dead of night was permeated with an eerie atmosphere everywhere; the pitch-black corridor alone gave one a chilling feeling just by looking at it.

Chen Jiajun looked toward both sides and suddenly discovered that at the end of the corridor, a white-haired child had appeared at some unknown time, staring straight at him.

"Hey, kid, what are you making a racket for in the middle of the night? Do you believe I'll beat you up?" Chen Jiajun didn't care whether the other party was human or a ghost and shouted directly at the white-haired child.

The white-haired child took one look at Chen Jiajun and then slowly walked toward the elevator.

The elevator door opened, and the child seemed to be waiting for him to go over.

"Are you f*cking treating me like an idiot! Do you think I'm like those brain-dead people in horror stories?" Chen Jiajun retorted: "I'm not going!" After saying this, Chen Jiajun slammed the door shut and went straight to sleep.

Seeing Chen Jiajun close the door just like that, the white-haired child immediately revealed a bewildered expression.

Early the next morning, Chen Jiajun woke up.

Moreover, he had had no dreams all night and slept very soundly.

After grabbing a quick breakfast at the shop downstairs, he returned home only to see that Chen You had just woken up.

Remembering the white-haired child from last night, Chen Jiajun asked: "You... did you hear any noise last night?"

"Noise? What noise?" Chen You looked at Chen Jiajun with a strange expression: "Although there are quite a few unclean things here, you didn't see one just after arriving yesterday, did you?"

Chen Jiajun said speechlessly: "I shouted so loudly, you didn't hear it?"

"No, what exactly did you see last night?" Chen You said with a frown.

Chen Jiajun had no choice but to say: "Last night when I just got home, I heard a sound outside the door. There was a child's toy car placed at the doorway, and a white-haired kid who seemed to want to lure me to some place! Do you know it? Is it human or a ghost?"

"A white-haired kid?" Chen You said with a frown: "I have never seen one!"

"Hah, then didn't I hit the jackpot?" Chen Jiajun wasn't worried and said with a smile.

It wasn't his first time seeing this kind of thing; he could even go toe-to-toe with Chu Renmei, so how much power could a little ghost have? Chen You nodded and said: "You did well not to be lured away by that little ghost! Otherwise, it would have been troublesome!"

Chen Jiajun had always been curious about what kind of seal was here that could make someone like Chen You willingly guard this place.

So, taking this opportunity, he deliberately asked: "How troublesome?"

Chen You was just about to speak, but he realized it instantly. He said to Chen Jiajun with annoyance: "You came to me to solve problems, not to create problems for yourself! I find it strange that a big shot of the underworld like you, a Big Boss level figure, why are you so gossipy?"

Chen Jiajun chuckled and said: "Never seen it before, just curious!"

Chen You said to Chen Jiajun with some surprise: "In your world, is there really none of these things at all?"

"None, but I have seen two gods, does that count?" Chen Jiajun said with a calm expression.

"Gods?" Chen You widened his eyes instantly.

Chen Jiajun stroked his chin and said: "They probably shouldn't count as true gods! Looking at them, at most they count as higher-order lifeforms, things like 'pseudo-gods'!"

"Tell me, tell me quickly!" Chen You was extremely curious and asked hurriedly.

Chen Jiajun looked at Chen You with a half-smile and said: "You're a ghost-catching Celestial Master after all, why is your curiosity so heavy?"

Chen You was speechless: "You brat, you really won't take a loss at all!"

Chen Jiajun shrugged: "Isn't this learning from you?"

"Damn it!" Chen You was angered and turned around to close the door in a huff.

In the following days, that white-haired little ghost came to knock on Chen Jiajun's door every night.

What was eerie was that when the little ghost knocked on the door, Chen You seemed unable to hear it at all.

Even when Chen Jiajun personally went to knock on Chen You's door, this guy didn't hear it either.

However, Chen Jiajun simply wouldn't fall for this white-haired child's tricks. No matter how he tried to lure him upstairs, Chen Jiajun just wouldn't go with him, making the white-haired child pace around in circles, yet he had no way to deal with Chen Jiajun.

After being pestered by this little ghost for three days, Chen Jiajun finally couldn't hold back anymore.

He found the little ghost directly and said: "Hey, kid, why do you keep coming to find me these days? Are you asking for a beating?"

The white-haired child pointed toward the direction of the elevator at Chen Jiajun with an anxious look.

Chen Jiajun frowned and said: "If you don't explain yourself clearly, I won't go with you!"

The child opened his mouth anxiously and said something, but Chen Jiajun didn't hear a single word.

"I can't hear you when you speak?" Chen Jiajun said to the child.

The child nodded and then started gesturing.

Although Chen Jiajun couldn't understand, looking at the little ghost's appearance, there shouldn't be any malice toward him.

And with that pleading look, something must have happened.

Chen Jiajun hesitated again and again, but still agreed to the little ghost's request and followed him onto the elevator.

After entering the elevator, Chen Jiajun had a very strange feeling.

This feeling was as if the surrounding space was distorting, and he looked at the white-haired little ghost beside him.

His figure seemed to have become a bit more solid.

"Ding!"

The elevator didn't know how long it had been running before it finally stopped.

Chen Jiajun discovered with surprise that although it should have been the dead of night, at this moment, the afterglow of the sunset was actually shining in from outside.

Chen Jiajun was shocked: "This... this changed time?"

The white-haired child walked straight out of the elevator and then beckoned to Chen Jiajun.

Chen Jiajun followed him out, but the surrounding environment seemed to be plated with a layer of filter, giving a feeling of unreality.

Following the child to the front of a room door, Chen Jiajun clearly saw the room number on it was "2442".

A sound came from inside the room, as if a middle-aged man was teaching.

The white-haired child waved his hand, and the door blocking Chen Jiajun's front vanished into thin air.

Next, Chen Jiajun saw a man wearing glasses and a white shirt teaching a pair of twin girls how to read.

Moreover, Chen Jiajun still had an impression of this man; he was the husband of the couple he had seen at Chen You's food stall.

Now that this white-haired child had brought him here, there must be something he wanted to tell him.

Chen Jiajun did not know what to do now, but since the other party could not see him, he simply watched quietly.

The twin girls looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, and they were youthful and pretty.

When they were reading, they also appeared very focused.

Of course, the middle-aged man was also teaching very earnestly.

Just like that, not knowing how much time had passed, the older sister among the twins walked into a room to do something.

Afterward, the middle-aged man acted as if he were possessed, suddenly reaching his hand toward the younger twin sister.

Then, with a dazed look in his eyes, he stared at the girl and began to tear at her clothes.

The girl naturally refused, screaming loudly and resisting.

The man pushed the girl down onto the table and was just about to do something.

At this moment, the older twin sister suddenly walked out, and seeing this scene, she almost didn't think, grabbed the scissors beside the table, and fiercely stabbed the man's back several times. (End of chapter)
