Chapter 1453
Meanwhile, Mai Chengxing and Maike were sitting in their room at Buckingham Hotel, worried.
Maike hadn't recovered from the terrifying experience just now, and his mental state was very poor.
Mai Chengxing hadn't spoken either, holding a few copper coins in his hand, throwing them on the table constantly.
The hexagram presented by the copper coins was no longer something Mai Chengxing could understand, which made him a bit puzzled. Opportunities were always there in the hexagram, but the danger had never been eliminated, and even that misty sense of the unknown was stronger than before.
Unknowingly, the mentality of this old gentleman began to change gradually.
Originally, he felt that he was just invited by Su Chengfeng to come to China to look for opportunities and make some money by the way.
Even if he didn't find opportunities or money, it didn't matter, just treat it as traveling back to the motherland.
Even if there were dangers, it was probably because he was old, and his body might not be able to bear the fatigue.
At the same time, it was also easy to trigger some hidden diseases common to the elderly.
However, he never expected that this matter would develop to this point, and a Xuan Fengnian would pop up!
This Xuan Fengnian was too dangerous!
Killing people, in his eyes, didn't count for anything at all.
Even, for him, killing had long become a common occurrence.
The fact that he was suddenly involved in this matter indeed made Mai Chengxing feel a strong sense of crisis, so much so that he began to re-evaluate in his heart whether this matter was worth continuing to invest energy in.
What he cared about at his age was not the little money from Su Chengfeng, but the opportunity to become twenty years younger like Lai Qinghua.
However, now the opportunity was confusing, and the danger factors were unpredictable. He was worried that he would lose his life in Jin Ling before finding the opportunity.
After all, he was just a Feng Shui master who was about to die, which could be said to be powerless, and his great-grandson Maike was the same. The grandfather and grandson basically had no ability to protect themselves.
In front of Xuan Fengnian, the two of them couldn't even withstand one round. If they really fought, I'm afraid they would only be food for the Gu worms.
Maike, who was still lingering in fear, couldn't help but say: "Great-grandfather, let's go back to the United States. That Xuan Fengnian today is too evil. If he wants to target us, we have no chance of winning at all!"
Mai Chengxing sighed: "We can go, but if we go, we will definitely offend Su Chengfeng. If Su Chengfeng asks him to kill us, wouldn't we be counterproductive?"
Maike hurriedly said: "We can explain it to him clearly, and then return all the money to him. Peacefully breaking up is always okay, right?"
Mai Chengxing shook his head and said: "Didn't you hear what Xuan Fengnian said? He is good at killing, but not at finding people, so he is still waiting for us to find the clues, and then he will kill. Now Su Chengfeng thinks that the person he wants us to find is related to his granddaughter Su Zhiyu. If we quit and leave at this time, Xuan Fengnian might not agree. Didn't you hear him say before leaving, let me find the person quickly and don't delay his making money."
Speaking of this, Mai Chengxing sighed and said: "We are already set up now. Whether we go or not is not up to us."
"F*UCK!" Maike couldn't help but burst out a national curse in English, annoyed and said: "Then what should we do... can we find the person?"
Mai Chengxing sighed: "Finding the person is okay, but the key is whether there will be other troubles after finding the person... And, if we find that person, and that person is killed by Xuan Fengnian, this is our karma!"
Maike couldn't help but say: "Great-grandfather, now is not the time to care about others. Let's leave Jin Ling safely as soon as possible. If we are fed that big white worm by Xuan Fengnian, it will be completely over!"
Mai Chengxing hesitated for a moment, nodded gently, and sighed: "Alas, what you said makes sense. When we can't take care of ourselves, we can only think of ways to protect ourselves..."
After speaking, he added: "Tomorrow, try to contact Su Zhiyu and see if we can find a breakthrough from her."
The next morning, a rumor suddenly appeared in the streets of Jin Ling.
It is said that a supernatural event occurred in the Fenghuang Mountain Cemetery in the suburbs, and a security guard who guarded the cemetery was killed by an evil ghost last night.
However, this kind of rumor was quickly controlled in a very targeted manner, and because it was too supernatural, only some middle-aged and elderly people with superstitious thoughts would believe it, and young people basically scoffed at it when they heard it.
In the morning, Ma Lan cooked breakfast at home. When waiting for Ye Chen and Xiao Churan to come down for dinner, she said very seriously at the dinner table: "Churan, Ye Chen, you two must try to go out as little as possible these two days. Even if you have to go out, you must come back before dark!"
Xiao Churan asked in surprise: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Ma Lan said very seriously: "Let me tell you, someone was killed by a ghost in Fenghuang Mountain Cemetery last night! Even the brain was sucked empty! It is said that when he died, his seven orifices were bleeding, and there was a hole the size of a bowl on the top of his head. As a result, it was an empty shell inside, and there was nothing!"
Xiao Churan said helplessly: "Mom, you are a college graduate anyway. Do you believe such rumors? There are no ghosts in the world, they are all deceptive."
Ma Lan said seriously: "How can this be deceptive? This is true! It's spread crazy in the elderly groups I'm in. Originally there were photos, but I don't know why the system deleted them. Alas, that photo was so terrifying that my back is still wet until now."
Xiao Changkun, standing on the side, frowned and said: "It seems that some people in my groups are also discussing it, but I flipped through the chat records and there is no evidence like pictures."
Xiao Churan smiled: "Even if there are photos, they may not be credible. How developed is computer synthesis technology now? Any photo can be made. You two, just put your heart in your stomach and don't think about it blindly."
Ma Lan said seriously: "Better to believe it than not. You two should go home early. Anyway, going home early is no loss, and you can accompany me more at home. Isn't that good?"
Xiao Churan said helplessly: "But I have to watch the project recently, and it will be busier in the future."
Ma Lan shook her head helplessly, looked at Ye Chen who had been silent, and urged: "Good son-in-law, you have ability. Remember to pick up Churan at night these days. Mom is not at ease with her going home alone."
"Okay, Mom!"
Although Ye Chen had been silent, he had already reviewed the content of Ma Lan and Xiao Churan's chat in his mind.
He thought that what Ma Lan said was not groundless, and it should be inseparable from that Xuan Fengnian.
It's just that ordinary people don't know about things like Gu worms, and the incident happened in the cemetery, so they naturally speculated that it was a ghost killing people.
It seems that this Xuan Fengnian is really extremely cruel. Just to feed his so-called Gu worms, he harmed others' lives. It is indeed extremely heinous!
If he waits for him to come to the door without moving, he doesn't know how many people will die under his hands during this period!
Thinking of this, he immediately sent a message to Chen Zekai: "Check if there is any relevant record of a British Chinese named Xuan Fengnian entering the country, and check if there is any check-in information for him in Jin Ling's hotel system!"
