Volume 3: Death in Progress Chapter 062 Face Changing
Zhao Jingyao is 50 years old this year and is the general manager of a company. His hobby is playing mahjong. Others negotiate contracts over wine tables, but Zhao Jingyao negotiates contracts over mahjong tables. As long as he has fun playing mahjong, everything is negotiable, otherwise, nothing is negotiable.
Today two clients came to his house and wanted to discuss cooperation with him. When they called before, Zhao Jingyao's attitude was very good, but since the two entered the house, more than ten minutes have passed, but Zhao Jingyao still hasn't said a word, and from his expression he seems to be very angry.
The two asked Zhao Jingyao a few questions, but Zhao Jingyao was obviously indifferent to their answers and kept silent about the cooperation. The two thought to themselves, "We didn't offend him, did we?"
Zhao Jingyao was originally very happy when he heard that a client wanted to talk to him about cooperation. But anyone who knew him knew that the client had to bring at least three people to discuss cooperation with him for a day and let him win happily at the mahjong table before the cooperation could be successful. But this time, there were only two people who came, which made Zhao Jingyao very unhappy.
"What are you two still doing here? I'm not in the mood to talk to you today. Please go back!"
Zhao Jingyao also ordered the two to leave, but at this time the doorbell rang. Zhao Jingyao looked at the two suspiciously and thought to himself: "No wonder these two people are still not leaving, it turns out that there is still one who hasn't come."
Zhao Jingyao opened the door and saw Zhang Fengyu and Cheng En outside. Before they could say anything, Zhao Jingyao pulled them into the house eagerly: "You young people are getting better and better. You know I have this habit and deliberately come late to whet my appetite! Come in and play a few rounds with me!"
After hearing this, Cheng En was about to explain, but was stopped by Zhang Fengyu. Seeing Zhang Fengyu stopping him, Cheng En thought of the information about Zhao Jingyao in his mind. After figuring it out, he said nothing and followed Zhao Jingyao into the house.
As soon as he entered the room, Zhao Jingyao quickly pulled out the mahjong table and said to the four people: "Old rules, we talk after we finish playing!"
The two men in the room showed a hint of hostility when they saw Zhang Fengyu and the others. They obviously thought that Zhang Fengyu and the others were here to steal their business. Zhang Fengyu looked at the two of them deeply, turned his head and said to Cheng En: "I don't like gambling, you go!"
Cheng En nodded and sat aside. When Zhao Jingyao sat at the mahjong table, he felt relieved and said with a smile: "As usual, keep a record first and settle the bill after the game."
The two of them only now realized that Zhao Jingyao had such a habit. They had just arrived at the company and the company happened to have this plan, so they decided to talk to Zhao Jingyao first. Therefore, they did not know much about Zhao Jingyao before. After all, they were just here to sound out the situation. After looking at each other, they both showed joy on their faces, and they obviously knew how to make this cooperation successful.
Zhang Fengyu found a stool and sat down aside, while Cheng En and the other three had already started playing. Zhang Fengyu looked down at the watch and saw that it was now Zhao Jingyao's death time, which meant that Zhao Jingyao could be killed by the ghost at any time.
"Is playing mahjong the opportunity? Or winning money or losing money? Or not playing?" Zhang Fengyu felt that there were many possibilities for opportunities, but he still felt that playing mahjong was the most likely opportunity.
Just as Zhang Fengyu was thinking, a white figure suddenly floated past his eyes. Zhang Fengyu hurriedly turned his head and saw a ghost in white clothes and loose hair appeared in the house. When the ghost turned around, Zhang Fengyu's heart trembled, because this female ghost had no face!
Zhang Fengyu pretended to be calm and didn't say anything. Zhao Jingyao and the other three seemed to be unable to see the ghost and continued playing mahjong. There was nothing unusual. The ghost just stood aside and didn't have any intention of taking action.
"Hasn't the ghost found the opportunity to attack yet?" Zhang Fengyu said secretly in his heart. He had already guessed the opportunity for the ghost to attack, which was when Zhao Jingyao discovered her!
Cheng En drew a card and played it casually: "Ten thousand!"
After Zhao Jingyao drew a card, he smiled and said, "You don't know, there have been rumors of ghosts in my house before. Ten thousand!"
One of the young men shook his head and laughed, "Boss Zhao, you are such a joke. How dare you live in a house with ghosts? Ten thousand!"
Another man also grabbed a card and said in disbelief, "I think Mr. Zhao wants to use the horror of ghosts to scare our ideas away? Ten thousand!"
Zhang Fengyu felt something was not right as he listened, so he quickly interrupted and said, "Don't talk about this topic anymore. It sounds creepy and unlucky."
The four of them thought it made sense, but at this moment one of the men suddenly said, "Mr. Zhao, is that your wife?"
"Mrs?"
Zhang Fengyu thought to himself that this was not good, and he interrupted again, saying, "Boss Zhao, this guy is joking, don't listen to his nonsense!"
"That does not……"
Zhang Fengyu glared at the man fiercely, and the man swallowed his words when he saw this: "The woman in white is either his wife or his lover. Damn it, he's keeping a lover and he's afraid of being talked about!"
"There's still one minute left, do n't make any more mistakes!"
In a blink of an eye, the hand of cards was about to be finished. Several people had already come to the table. Cheng En picked up a card and said, "Ten thousand!"
Seeing Cheng En betting on the 10,000, one of the young men laughed and said, "It's a mess! Just fishing for 10,000!"
The other young man said unhappily, "I also won 10,000, 140,000!"
At this time, Zhao Jingyao laughed and snatched the ten thousand away: "I am his next player, I am the one who got confused! Haha, I am snatching your money! I am also going to get ten thousand!"
Zhang Fengyu's face had turned green by now. Before he could say anything to interrupt, Cheng En also pushed the cards down and said unhappily, "Fuck, is this cheating? How come all 13 cards in my hand are 10,000!"
When Zhao Jingyao heard this, he immediately remembered that he had already played four 10,000 bets before, and there was also the "my wife" that the man just mentioned? Could it be?
“Don’t look back!”
Zhang Fengyu immediately spoke out to stop him, but Zhao Jingyao still turned his head away suspiciously. However, Zhao Jingyao turned his head back soon. Zhang Fengyu breathed a sigh of relief because his death time had now passed. However, when Zhang Fengyu saw Zhao Jingyao's face, his heart suddenly sank. Zhao Jingyao's face was gone!
At the last moment, the ghost still killed Zhao Jingyao. If he and Cheng En had not appeared, Zhao Jingyao might not have died. Or maybe if they had not appeared, the ghost would have killed him in another way. In short, there are many possibilities, but there is only one result.
"Cheng En, why did you say that all the cards in your hand were ten thousand?"
After the two left, Zhang Fengyu also asked Cheng En the reason, but Cheng En obviously didn't know what Zhang Fengyu was talking about: "When did I say that?"
"By the way, Fengyu, I wanted to ask you something. How did Zhao Jingyao die? How come he was playing and his face suddenly disappeared when he turned around?"
"His face was taken away by a ghost..."
Cheng En's words made Zhang Fengyu know how Zhao Jingyao would die this time. Even if they did not come to Zhao Jingyao's house to play mahjong with Zhao Jingyao this time, the two men who had been in Zhao Jingyao's house before would become the opportunity to kill Zhao Jingyao.
Because ghosts can control people's minds, just like Cheng En, he didn't remember that he said the last sentence at all. However, it was because of this sentence that Zhao Jingyao felt that what the man said before might be true, so he turned around and looked.
If Cheng En and Zhang Fengyu were not there, then as long as the ghost controlled the two men and made them see the ghost, the two men would speak out to remind Zhao Jingyao, and at that time Zhao Jingyao would also see the ghost and would be killed.
The opportunity for the ghost to kill people is that Zhao Jingyao himself cannot see it, but if someone reminds him, he will be able to see the ghost, and he will be killed by the ghost. This is the opportunity for the ghost to kill people this time.
