Chapter 41: How did he die?
In the secret room!
A wedding room with ancient style and charm.
Lin Ye sat boldly on the new bed, while the bride stood beside him with her head lowered, not daring to move.
This is a wandering soul.
"Tell me, what's going on? Why are you pretending to be a fake ghost here?"
"In order...in order to improve the business of the store." The bride answered stutteringly, not daring to look up.
"Let the store do good business. What is your relationship with the owner of this store?"
"Boss...Boss is my boyfriend..."
Lin Ye: ...
After the ghost bride's stammering explanation, Lin Ye finally understood what was going on.
This female ghost was an orphan in her lifetime and grew up in an orphanage. Because she stuttered, she was not adopted by anyone. After finishing junior high school, she chose to go out to work.
But just half a year ago, she was in a car accident.
But because she was hit by a car, her soul was trapped on the road of death and unable to escape.
The soul of a person who died in a car accident will be trapped. Generally, the family members of the deceased will take the deceased's clothes to the scene of the accident to summon the soul, so that the soul of the deceased can be freed.
But she was an orphan and no one called back her soul, so her spirit was naturally trapped in the same place and did not move.
Until later she met someone.
"This witch again?"
Lin Ye didn't expect to hear this name for the second time in one day, the mysterious man wearing a mask called "Wu".
The witch rescued her soul.
Perhaps because of the sun exposure on the road, her memory began to become fuzzy. She only remembered that she had a boyfriend and what he looked like, but she couldn't remember where he lived or what his name was.
So the girl began an aimless search, and finally found a boyfriend a month ago.
The next story is that the couple met, and then her boyfriend thought of using the fact that the girl was a ghost to open a secret room to scare people.
I have to say that the girl’s boyfriend is very smart. The girl herself is a ghost and has a horror atmosphere. This new house does not have any surveillance cameras installed, so every player who is caught in will be scared by the girl. Word of mouth quickly spread, attracting many escape room enthusiasts to come, and the business is booming.
"You just scare the players?"
"Well, I just...scare...scare them. I didn't do anything to them. I am a ghost, but I...I won't hurt anyone."
The girl's words were very sincere. Lin Ye was about to speak when he suddenly looked towards the door.
"Master Tianshi, this guy tried to escape, but I caught him."
The intestine ghost walked in carrying a man. The man was wearing glasses and was very panicked and scared at the moment. The intestine ghost swung his hand and the man fell directly to the ground.
"No…don't hurt my boyfriend."
Although the girl was very afraid of Lin Ye because she felt the power that frightened her from Lin Ye, she still stood up bravely and stood in front of her boyfriend because of her boyfriend.
"You... who are you?" The man looked at Lin Ye with some fear.
"You use ghosts to make money, who do you think we are?" Lin Ye asked back.
"You... are the legendary Taoist priest? He... he calls you Master Tianshi."
The man reacted quickly. Based on the name "Intestine Ghost" given earlier and the frightened look on his girlfriend's face, he guessed Lin Ye's identity.
“You can think of it that way.”
Hearing Lin Ye's admission, the man suddenly knelt down.
"Master Tianshi, please save my girlfriend. I didn't mean to keep her in the world of the living. I looked up information and it seems that the longer a ghost stays in the world of the living, the heavier the punishment they will receive in the underworld. But I don't know how to get my girlfriend to the underworld."
The man's words were sincere. According to what he said, letting his girlfriend stay in the store to pretend to be a ghost and scare people was also a helpless act. He had been trying to find a way to make his girlfriend go to the underworld to reincarnate during this period of time.
Lin Ye was silent for a moment, and finally gave the man a talisman to send him to the underworld.
He is not a law enforcer of the Yin and Yang worlds, and he comes out to catch ghosts just for the sake of merit.
The female ghost was just scaring people, which was not a big sin. He gave the talisman to the man because of his pleading.
"Humans and ghosts have different paths. Let her go to the underworld as soon as possible."
After saying this, Lin Ye left, but a picture suddenly came to his mind and he couldn't help laughing.
Humans and ghosts have different paths.
Humans and demons have different paths.
These kinds of words are usually said by villains in novels or film and television works. I am becoming more and more like a villain.
Lin Ye left the bridal chamber. According to the rules of the secret room, he had failed and could only go outside and wait for other players to come out.
My cousin and Yan Ru were still inside. Lin Ye asked the staff to get his cell phone, only to find that there were several missed calls on the phone, all from He Jie.
Why did this woman call me again?
Could it be that the child's father was holding on to this matter and asked him for his information?
He made a phone call.
…
…
Longxi Group Headquarters.
He Jie looked at Chen Shanghan sitting in front of her and felt a little embarrassed. Everything was the same as she had imagined. Chen Shanghan agreed to her request, but now she couldn't contact Lin Ye.
"Mr. Chen, how about I notify you after I get in touch with you?"
He Jie didn't expect that Chen Shanghan would come to the company in person.
"Don't worry, I can wait." Chen Shanghan answered with confidence.
Jingle Bell!
He Jie's cell phone happened to ring. After looking at the caller ID, He Jie looked excited, and Chen Shanghan also stood up suddenly from the sofa.
"Hello, Mr. Lin, I'm sorry to bother you. I have something to tell you."
…
On the other end of the phone, Lin Ye listened to He Jie's explanation with a strange expression. Is this the style of a domineering president?
Because he loved his wife so much, when she was lying on the hospital bed, he smiled and promised his son that she would come to see him as a ghost after her death. However, because he did not see his wife's ghost until the seventh day, he deliberately found a new lover and was deliberately indifferent to his son, just to make his wife's ghost angry and come to find him.
This is a plot that only appeared in the stories about overbearing CEOs a decade ago.
After thinking for a while, Lin Ye finally agreed to the other party's request and let him meet his wife.
Originally, Lin Ye was thinking about going back to the community first, but when the domineering president learned that he was in the city, he immediately wanted to drive over to pick him up. He thought about it and agreed. He could use a free car and save the trouble of taking a taxi.
fifteen minutes!
A luxury car stopped in front of the store. Chen Shanghan got out of the car and saw Lin Ye at a glance, walking towards him.
“Mr. Lin!”
"Mr. Chen arrived really quickly."
Lin Ye didn't expect Chen Shanghan to come so soon. He originally thought that by the time Chen Shanghan came, his cousin and the others would have come out, and then he would say goodbye to them before leaving.
"Mr. Lin has a friend playing in the escape room inside. It's okay. I can wait."
Chen Shanghan was very polite. Lin Ye was a little surprised. Such a big CEO actually knew about the secret room?
As if seeing Lin Ye's confusion, Chen Shanghan explained, "Mr. Lin, my beloved wife also liked playing escape rooms and script-killing games when she was alive. She has played in all the escape rooms in the city, big and small."
Chen Shanghan did not say the second half of the sentence. In order to satisfy his wife's hobby, he secretly invested in several escape rooms and script-killing stores, and specially invited an author named Jiudeng Heshan to customize the type of scripts that his wife liked.
Lin Ye's mouth twitched. He couldn't bear to think of the scene of the big boss playing script-killing and secret room.
But this also shows that this man really loves his wife.
"No, I'll tell the clerk."
Lin Ye talked to the staff and asked them to tell his cousin later. He also sent a message to his cousin saying that he had to leave first as he had something urgent to do.
Chen Shanghan opened the car door himself, and Lin Ye got in without hesitation. However, just when Chen Shanghan was about to close the door , the intestine ghost suddenly popped out again.
"Mr. Lin..., let me sit in it too. I've never sat in such a nice car before."
Lin Ye glanced at the Intestine Ghost and finally gave up his seat. Although Chen Shanghan was a little confused as to how Lin Ye knew the gangster-looking guy, he did not ask. He waited until the Intestine Ghost got in the car before closing the door and driving the car himself.
"It's a luxury car indeed. It's designed to be comfortable. The best car I've ever made was a Mercedes-Benz. It can't be compared to this."
The intestine ghost's words made Chen Shanghan's hands tremble as he held the steering wheel. He looked over through the rearview mirror. Seeing this, Lin Ye explained, "This person is the same as your beloved wife, Mr. Chen."
After hearing Lin Ye's explanation, Chen Shanghan's eyes stayed on the Intestine Ghost, and then he said seriously: "Even if my beloved wife becomes a ghost, she will not be the same as him."
Lin Ye: ...
Intestine Ghost: ...
"Master Tianshi."
Because Lin Ye did not hide his identity, the Intestine Ghost stopped calling Lin Ye "Mr." and chose to ignore Chen Shanghan's words and sighed, "That little girl is really kind. She didn't even seek revenge after becoming a ghost."
"Revenge? What revenge? She died in a car accident. The relevant departments must have punished her."
"Car accident, that shouldn't be the case. He was clearly killed. The ghost energy on his body is different from that of someone who died in a car accident."
The intestine ghost muttered something in a low voice, and Lin Ye trembled all over. He suddenly thought of something and immediately shouted, "Mr. Chen, please stop the car."
