Chapter 1149: Harmony Brings Wealth
"Get the surveillance footage for me." Chen Yu did not intend to just let it go like this.
"I, I can't get it out." The administrator said with a mournful face.
Chen Yu punched a hole through the concrete pillar beside him; the kid shut his mouth obediently, then honestly took Chen Yu to watch the surveillance.
However, the surveillance showed that it was indeed these few kids from the repair shop who did it.
Chen Yu made them stand in a row, then pointed at the surveillance and said, "What is the meaning of this? Give me an explanation."
"Big Brother... we, we have already repaired it for you." The lead repairman said with a mournful face.
"It's over just because it's repaired?" Chen Yu suddenly slapped him, sending him flying: "If I beat you half to death and then heal you, is that okay?"
"No, Big Brother, I was wrong. Please spare us; we are just here to make a living." The repairman covered his bleeding mouth and begged.
"Make a living?" Chen Yu slapped him again, sending him flying once more: "Does your family eat thirty thousand for a single meal?"
"I was wrong, Big Brother, we were truly wrong." The group's faces turned pale; they didn't even have the courage to resist, as they were simply not on the same level.
"Tell me, what is going on with you people at this tourist spot?" Chen Yu asked.
"It, it's just an ordinary black-hearted tourist spot," one person said dejectedly. "Usually, not many people come, so a while ago we spent money to hire internet celebrities to hype it up, which is why it had some popularity. But because it was too black-hearted, the popularity dissipated again. Everything online is just cursing, so whenever we catch one..."
"Whenever you catch a fat sheep, you slaughter it to death?" Chen Yu stepped forward and slapped the guy a few times, leaving his mouth dripping with blood.
"I'm sorry, Big Brother, I was wrong, we were truly wrong. We aren't locals either; the developer here scammed us. We spent money to lease it, intending to run it properly, but no one comes."
"Call your person in charge over," Chen Yu said. "I want to talk to him."
A moment later, in a specialty guesthouse, Chen Yu met the local person in charge. This guy had heard how strong Chen Yu was, and now he sat before Chen Yu like a grandson.
"Why do you have to be like this?" Chen Yu glanced at him and said indifferently, "Why can't those doing business just do business honestly?"
"Brother, I want to too," the person in charge poured out his grievances. "We came from the Northeast to do business. This tourist spot was leased out as a package, and we rented it to operate."
"Since it is an operation, why not operate it properly?" Chen Yu asked.
"Let me finish," the person in charge smiled bitterly. "After leasing this tourist spot, we also intended to operate it properly, but after paying the money, we discovered that there were problems here."
"What problems? Problems with the source of customers?" Chen Yu asked.
"It's not just the problem of customers; it also involves a series of issues like the construction contractor's engineering. The money we earn isn't enough to fill their holes, and besides..." The person in charge lowered his voice: "In the mountain behind the Folk Custom Village, there are things."
"Stop spouting useless things. Does it have anything to do with you slaughtering customers?" Chen Yu said. "The fewer the people, the more you slaughter them, and then you fall into a vicious cycle. You spent quite a bit of money hiring internet celebrities to hype it up before, right? If you don't rectify this, the popularity will soon be completely exhausted."
"Yes, I know. I will change, I will definitely change." The person in charge nodded honestly at Chen Yu: "I am clear on the existing problems. I will definitely have them rectified and strive to make this place big."
"That is your business. I am going to the Book City and will pass by here again on my way back. If I see you all still like this, watch yourself." Chen Yu snorted.
"Yes, I will, I guarantee I won't let you down." The person in charge nodded repeatedly. Just at this moment, a strange cry came from outside. The sound was not loud, but it rang out clearly in everyone's heart.
"Big Brother, that thing is here." The repair shop worker from earlier ran over, his face bloodless.
"Is the stuff ready? Hurry, don't let it wait too long." The person in charge stood up with a start, his face full of panic.
"What's wrong?" Chen Yu looked at the person in charge in surprise, not yet knowing what was going on.
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold, bone-chilling wind blew past. Chen Yu's expression changed slightly; from this gust of wind, he felt a sharp, imposing demonic aura.
"It is the Liuxian Niangniang from the local legends here. The reason our place is so unsuccessful is because when we developed the tourist spot, we occupied Liuxian Niangniang's territory, so the popularity cannot gather," the person in charge said tremblingly.
"What is a Liuxian?" Ning Ruoxue asked, somewhat puzzled.
"One of the five great Immortal families in folk legend, which is the Snake Immortal. People from the Northeast believe in this more. They are from the Northeast, so they believe in this thing very much," Chen Yu said.
"A demon?" Ning Ruoxue's face turned slightly pale. Although she was not an atheist now—after all, Chen Yu could borrow a body to be reborn—she still held an attitude of curiosity and skepticism toward these things.
"You could say that. This demonic wind cannot be mistaken; it is indeed a Liuxian." Chen Yu walked to the door, looked at the demonic wind outside, and then turned back to ask: "It asked you for things?"
"Yes, three pigs and three sheep every month, plus countless amounts of money, big and small. We don't earn much in this place, but most of it is pasted onto it," the person in charge said with a pale face. "But now we can't get away, we can only waste away."
"Fine, I'll go meet it." Chen Yu smiled. He turned to Ning Ruoxue and said: "Do you want to go see it?"
"Can I? Sure." Ning Ruoxue became excited at once. She had never seen this thing before, and it wouldn't be bad to see it now.
"Don't, you two. This is a Liuxian! She eats human brains. The elders in our place have seen her with their own eyes sucking human brains. Are you two really not afraid at all?" The person in charge was stunned. What was the situation with these two?
Chen Yu could indeed fight, but that legendary Liuxian was no pushover. She possessed Magic and special abilities. Her current form was her foraging form. Could these two really not be afraid at all?
"It's fine, it's nothing more than a Liuxian. I don't know how deep her cultivation is, but I'll go meet her," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "Besides, don't you want to get rid of her?"
"This... what should we do?" The person in charge shuddered. This was a ruthless person; even a Liuxian didn't scare them. This was a long snake that had taken form. Was there something wrong with these two people's heads?
"If you are afraid, just stay here. Chen Yu, let's go take a look. I can't wait," Ning Ruoxue said with a light smile.
"Alright, let's go," Chen Yu said.
