Chapter 45 Object?
"Let's go. We are not responsible for the rest of the matter. Even if we stay here, we can't help much."
My cousin looked at me indignantly and pulled me away.
While waiting for the police to arrive, we chatted with Brother Fei by the door.
"How did you know there was a body in there?" Brother Fei looked at us with some confusion.
My cousin shook his head and said, "This is all about our ability to make a living. I can't explain it to you in a few words. Anyway, it's all right as long as the problem is solved."
Brother Fei nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Not long after, my cousin received a transfer via WeChat on her mobile phone.
There is three hundred thousand on it, and the person who transferred the money is Brother Fei.
The money he transferred to us was twice as much as he had promised, and we were about to ask why.
Brother Fei waved his hands and said, "These are the rules of the underworld. The 150,000 is the deposit, and the other 150,000 is life-saving money. Just take it. I am really sorry to trouble you with this matter."
Since he said so, we didn't ask any more questions.
After not sleeping for a day and a night, we divided the money and went home.
In the middle, Lin Mu called me and asked me if I would return to the company today.
"I'm really too tired. I'll go back and rest for a while. I'll go over and check the situation when I wake up."
"Okay then. I can watch the store by myself today. I'll contact you if there's anything else. Just have a good rest. I also heard about what happened yesterday. I guess you're all exhausted."
After a few casual greetings, Lin Mu hung up the phone.
Nothing strange has happened at the agency in the past few months , and the Chinese New Year is approaching, so few people would buy a house at this time.
So we all had some free time.
When I got home, I didn't even take a shower and fell asleep directly.
When I woke up, it was already night. My cousin was sitting at the dinner table, wolfing down his food. There was food on the table, and it was obvious that it was not takeout.
"Who has been here?" I asked a little confused.
Actually, I was also sleepy, and no one else could come here except Jin Yun.
"Your boyfriend is here. He knew you were sleeping but didn't let me wake you up. He made some food for me and said we can eat together after you wake up."
My cousin teased me with a smile.
I didn't refute it either.
The relationship between Jin Yun and I has become a little strange recently.
Although no one has broken that layer of window paper, I have to admit that whenever Jin Yun and I are together, the atmosphere between us will seem a little ambiguous.
"If you like him, don't keep him hanging. His family is rich, and you are old enough to get married."
My cousin suddenly became serious and my face turned red.
"You are so old and still shy. People have come to your home to serve you every day. You should have some savings. If you can, try to talk about it. If you are suitable, you may get married. Your grandmother will be so happy if she knows about this."
What my cousin said is true, but I am still injured and have been cursed by an ancient curse. Until these things are resolved, I can't be with Jin Yun.
If I really stay with her, and the ancient curse makes my body unable to bear it, then I will be wasting the girl's time.
"Forget it, let nature take its course. There are still so many things going on right now, and nothing has been resolved. How can I be in the mood to fall in love?" I sat down with a smile. I hadn't eaten all day, and I was really hungry because I had been sleeping all day.
Just as I was wolfing down the food, my cousin suddenly patted my shoulder.
"That's not the case. Work is work, and love is love. Is there anything in life that can be stopped?"
At this time, my cousin acted like an elder and what he said made a lot of sense, which suddenly left me speechless.
"I don't mean to force you. After all, you and I are just relatives. We're not that close. To be honest, I think you and I are more like friends. You're right, let it be."
"But don't worry about the curse on you. I will help you find the Soul-Restoring Orb as soon as possible. Just focus on making money now. I see that you are doing quite well in that agency. After all, the company is under your name now."
"From now on, we will work together. You help me find the haunted house, and I will help you clean it. How great it would be. When we return to our hometown, we will be successful and return home in glory."
After my cousin had eaten, he kept chattering beside me. His eyes were looking far away, as if he was imagining our future.
I smiled and shook my head.
My cousin is not young anymore, but he still thinks like a young man and is always full of enthusiasm for life.
On the contrary, I am like just lives by setting goals for myself every day.
Just then, my phone rang.
"Jin Yun? Why are you still awake so late ? What's the matter with you calling me?"
"Nothing. I didn't see you today, and I didn't hear your voice. I felt a little uncomfortable. So I called you. Have you eaten?"
"You've eaten, so you don't have to worry. Go to bed early."
"Yeah, after you finish eating, go get some sleep. You seem to be quite tired these past few days."
I sat on the sofa in the living room with the phone in my hand and chatted with Jin Yun for half the night.
When it was almost dawn, Jin Yun could no longer hold on and fell asleep.
My cousin and I had slept for a whole day, and now neither of us felt sleepy anymore, so we lay on one of the two sofas, each checking our phones.
"I'm going to the flea market. If you're tired, you can sleep for a while."
My cousin suddenly put down his phone and stood up. He must have gone to the flea market to look for the Resurrection Pearl.
Since this matter has something to do with me, I should go along with it.
"Don't go with me. You didn't go to the agency yesterday. Go back to work today. Leave this matter to me."
I wanted to refute it, but then I thought what he said made sense.
I've been busy these days, and I should go back and take a look.
Although the agency is owned equally by Lin Mu and I, it would not be nice to leave my partner alone there all the time.
Thinking of this, I stood up, packed myself up, and prepared to go to the agency.
Before I even left the house, I received a call from Lin Mu.
"Wen Jie, where are you now? Something happened in the company!"
Lin Mu's tone was extremely anxious, and I was stunned for a moment.
Just as my cousin was about to go out, I stopped him.
"What's wrong?" he asked a little confused.
I didn’t know what happened yet. Lin Mu was trembling on the other end of the phone. I could only hang up and go to the company.
