Chapter 94: Office Secrets
We were surprised by YTO’s performance.
I asked him what was wrong, and Yuantong's face darkened: "This place is not simple, let's take a look first. Donor He, I just promised you to come and take a look. Whether I can cast a spell depends on the situation on the spot."
This monk is really smart. He would never promise to do everything and just block both ends of the conversation.
That’s right, there is no employment relationship between us. He Qingyou didn’t say how to pay, so who would work so hard for him?
He Qingyou agreed, turned the car around, and drove to the cliff we were going to. After more than half an hour, we arrived. Yuantong got out of the car and climbed over the wire fence. He Qingyou and I followed behind, and we arrived at the edge of the cliff together.
Standing on the edge of the cliff, we all felt a little dizzy. Yuantong twisted the Buddhist beads, took a bead off the string, flicked it, and the bead fell straight down from the sky. We saw the bead fall into the deep water below and disappeared.
"What is this?" He Qingyou asked.
Yuantong ignored him, stood on the edge of the cliff with his eyes closed, muttering to himself.
I had a strong urge to kick him in the ass and kick him off the cliff. It wasn't that I wanted to hurt him, it was just an uncontrollable mischievous instinct, my legs were itching.
He Qingyou stood beside me, licking his lips. I felt that he had the same idea as me.
Yuantong suddenly opened his eyes, turned around and smiled at us, "You two don't have any bad ideas, right?"
"How is that possible?" I quickly smiled and said, "What are you doing?"
Yuantong picked up the Buddhist beads and said, "This string of beads has been with me during my retreat for 49 days. My spiritual thoughts have penetrated through them. I threw one down just now, and my spiritual thoughts followed it down to explore the situation below."
"How is it?" He Qingyou asked anxiously.
Yuantong said nothing, just stared at him.
He Qingyou felt very uncomfortable being stared at, "Master Yuantong, what are you doing?"
Yuantong suddenly smiled: "It is indeed very dangerous down there. I feel a very strong aura."
I thought he was going to refuse, but Yuantong changed his tone and said, "But it's not impossible. I'll find a way. Today won't work. Pick a good day. I need to discuss this with Ms. Meiyu."
Yuantong asked He Qingyou to call Chen Meiyu directly and told her not to come because it couldn't be done today. He Qingyou quickly said that since it couldn't be done, let's get together today and have some food first. He would treat us. He knew a well-known private restaurant in the city that only served vegetarian food, which was absolutely suitable for Master Yuantong.
We took a bus back and when we arrived in the city, it was almost noon and there was still some time for lunch.
He Qingyou first took us to his company. When we entered the company, all the employees were very surprised to see their big boss coming in with a monk.
We can say anything about this monk Yuantong. He is not ugly, and if you look closely, he has a handsome look. He wears a short monk's robe on a hot day, which really looks like Jet Li in Shaolin Temple. This kind of martial and alternative look is rarely seen in big cities. When he walks by, all the girls in the company come over to look at him, and keep calling him "so handsome".
He Qingyou was not in a hurry, but felt proud . I was walking at the end, but became invisible. I thought this scene was quite interesting.
After entering the chairman's office, He Qingyou asked his assistant to bring some hot tea. Yuantong was not polite either, and sat in the upper seat with a smile, his back straight, chatting and laughing with He Qingyou.
He Qingyou asked Yuantong where he was from, when he became a monk, and how he learned his skills.
Yuantong was so shrewd that he could not possibly be tricked into revealing his true identity. He was playing Tai Chi with his words, but he still let out a little. The monk smiled slyly, "Do you know what I learned when I first entered the mountain sect?"
"What?" I asked.
Yuantong laughed: "I learned how to catch zombies."
He Qingyou and I were both extremely stunned, and we didn’t want to say anything more.
He stood up and began to look around the office. He Qingyou was a man of elegance and refinement, and there were many calligraphy and paintings hanging in his office. He was definitely not someone who would buy cheap goods or imitations, so they should all be authentic works by famous artists. Yuantong praised this and that.
He Qingyou's face was beaming.
As he was praising, Yuantong came to the right corner of the room, suddenly stopped, raised his head and stared at the ceiling.
My heart skipped a beat. I had heard a voice in He Qingyou’s office calling “Jian’er”. It was Chen Jian’s mother in the bardo realm.
The place where the voice came from was right in the corner where Yuantong was standing now. Could it be that he also noticed it?
He Qingyou quickly stood up and said, "Master Yuantong, what's so good about that? Come over and have some tea."
Yuantong pondered for a moment, his expression was a little stagnant, and suddenly he smiled, hiding his serious look. He walked over slowly and said, "Boss He, you are a good person. I will do my best to help you realize your wish of finding your son."
The assistant knocked on the door and said that there was a visitor outside, her name was Chen Meiyu.
"Please come in, please come in." He Qingyou greeted quickly.
Not long after, Chen Meiyu came in. She had changed her clothes and was pretty, sitting opposite us gracefully.
He Qingyou was stunned, and realized that he had lost his composure and quickly looked away: "Let's go eat later..."
Chen Meiyu hummed, and suddenly frowned: "What's going on in this room? There's such a heavy yin energy?"
"Ah? There is evil energy?" He Qingyou was surprised.
Yuan Tongdao: "Mr. Meiyu, you are too sensitive . This is not Yin Qi, it's the temperature of the air conditioner is too low."
Chen Meiyu was about to say something, but I saw Yuantong give her a look inadvertently. Chen Meiyu stopped talking, lowered her head and picked up the teacup to drink.
He Qingyou may have sensed something was wrong, and quickly said, "Two masters, what's going on? Please don't scare me."
Yuantong said: "You don't have to be afraid, you know it in your heart."
"What do I understand?" He Qingyou asked innocently.
Yuantong laughed: "When it's hot, use the air conditioner less, close the doors and windows, and seal off on all sides. This is not in line with the way of keeping healthy. Summer is the season for sweating. If you use the air conditioner too much, it will naturally cause the yin energy to overflow."
He Qingyou breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's how it is. Then I won't use the air conditioner and will just use natural wind."
At noon, we went out to eat together. The private restaurant was indeed high-end. If you were not a regular customer, you would not even be able to find the place. Going into the alley, you will find a world of its own hidden in the winding paths.
When we asked about the price, it was ridiculously expensive, 200 per person, and we spent nearly 1,000. But the food was indeed delicious, but it was a pity to flirt with a blind man. Monk Yuantong stopped eating after less than ten bites, and walked into the yard with interest to look at other scenery. Chen Meiyu also had a very small appetite, and was full after a few bites. These dishes were all cheap for me in the end, and I couldn't even see my hands from eating.
He Qingyou advised me to slow down, as there was more.
After eating, I felt sleepy. He Qingyou booked a hotel in the city for us to rest. He first sent Yuantong and me there, and then left Chen Meiyu: "Miss Chen, I have something I want to talk to you about."
Chen Meiyu looked at him and nodded.
He Qingyou left the two of and drove away with Chen Meiyu.
Yuantong stood at the entrance of the hotel, looking at the back of the car, and said that he hoped Boss He would not do anything stupid.
"Chen Meiyu is in trouble." I said.
Yuantong looked at me and laughed, "The unlucky one is Boss He. Lay Buddhist Meiyu is not someone you can easily get along with."
We both went into the hotel. He Qingyou was pretty nice. He booked two rooms, one for each of us. Yuantong and I took the elevator up. There was no one in the elevator. I said, "Don't lie in front of the real person. There is something fishy in Boss He's office."
Yuantong looked at me and said, "Mr. Lin, who are you?"
"What?" I asked.
Yuan Tongdao: "You revealed my identity at first sight, and then asked about Luohan Hall. This is nothing. You helped Boss He locate the location of the reservoir cliff, which shows that you are not simple. Can you tell me about it?"
I thought about it and said, “Actually, I am Huang Teng’s student and I am currently studying in his institution.”
Yuantong suddenly realized: "So you are Lao Huang's student, no wonder."
"Do you know Huang Teng?" I asked.
Yuantong smiled and said, "Of course I don't know him. We've known each other for a long time. But since you are his student, I shouldn't reveal his identity. If you two are related, he will sue you. I don't need to say anything."
"Then tell me," I said, "What's going on in Boss He's office?"
"You noticed it too?" Yuantong looked at me. He didn't wait for me to answer, and said, "No wonder, you are Lao Huang's student. If you couldn't see this, he wouldn't have sent you out to do the job alone."
"I only know the fact but not the reason," I said.
Yuantong and I walked out of the elevator and down the hotel corridor. He said, "There is a strong yin energy in Boss He's office. I suspect there is a yin object. And it can be seen that Boss He knows about it."
"You mean he intentionally hid the object in his office?" I asked.
"That should be the case. The location is right there." Yuantong said, "The place where I stood in the office this morning. I suspect it is hidden behind the wall."
I suddenly felt a little creepy: "Could there be a body built into the wall?"
