Chapter 164: David's True Purpose
The woman's cries echoed from the dark and narrow corridors, the lights flickered on both sides of the faΓ§ade, and from the terrible and unwilling wails, it seemed to depict the secret of the manor that had been hidden for a hundred years.
Lin Xiong paced forward along the wail, he looked around nervously, Qin Zijun pulled Lin Xiong's arm, and asked in a choked voice: "Lin Xiong, don't forget it! Let's go back!"
The two walked in the corridor on the third floor, the cry then turned into a song, it was still an incomprehensible Victorian song, Qin Zijun grabbed Lin Xiong's arm, Lin Xiong was caught in pain, and couldn't help shouting, it turned out that Qin Zijun's nails were caught in Lin Xiong's flesh.
Qin Zijun was anxious and cried out.
"Give me the flashlight. There was no light in the corridor in front of him, Lin Xiong turned his head and said to Qin Zijun, Qin Zijun was crying, and while handing the flashlight to Lin Xiong, he had the courage to sing.
"I can't forget the ...... I saw you for the first time"
Qin Zijun sang "Love Must Be Done".
Lin Xiong turned on the flashlight, and the flashlight beam shone on the corridor, and at the corner of the corridor, a white shadow swept by.
Qin Zijun exclaimed.
Lin Xiong broke free from Qin Zijun and chased after Bai Ying, Qin Zijun shouted behind him: "Lin Xiong!
The white shadow was extremely fast, sweeping down the stairs, Lin Xiong chased after him, Qin Zijun bit Lin Xiong tightly, for fear of being thrown off by Lin Xiong.
The two chased Bai Ying all the way to the hot spring downstairs.
The moonlight is pale, reflecting the bleak cold colors of the marble around the hot springs.
The bear shines a flashlight at the white shadow, who seems to be very resistant to the light, and in the blink of an eye escapes into the forest behind the hot springs.
Qin Zijun gasped and caught up with Lin Xiong, she panted and complained to Lin Xiong: "Don't leave me!"
Lin Xiong didn't answer, but made a booing gesture to Qin Zijun: "Did you see where it went?"
Qin Zijun replied with a suffocated face: "No, Lin Xiong, I beg you, let's go back." β
Qin Zijun kept retreating, and a gust of wind blew, and Qin Zijun sniffed.
Lin Xiong replied decisively: "No! I'll go to the forest, do you want to come along?"
Seeing Lin Xiong resolutely walking towards the forest, Qin Zijun stomped his feet anxiously, looking back at the bungalow, the white building of Nuoda stood arrogantly in the moonlight, showing a cold white, Qin Zijun couldn't help but shudder, and didn't dare to go back alone, so he could only follow Lin Xiong hard.
She complained uneasily: "Lin Xiong, you are crazy!
The two of them focused their eyes on the forest, not noticing the manor behind them, and the sturdy figure stood at the window, watching all this silently.
When he saw Lin Xiong leading Qin Zijun into the forest to look for Bai Ying, he swallowed the wine in his hand in one go.
This person was Mr. David, and he said with interest: "A very interesting young man." β
Lin Xiong led Qin Zijun and rushed into the forest.
The woman's song turned into laughter, wandering through the dark forest.
Qin Zijun was terrified, but the forest bear in front of him seemed to be not afraid at all.
Qin Zijun, who liked to watch folk supernatural stories since he was a child, suddenly thought a little uneasy, could the forest bear in front of him not be a human!
Thinking of this, Qin Zijun suddenly had a vague footstep and sat on the ground.
Lin Xiong heard a pop from behind, he looked behind him suspiciously, and found Qin Zijun sitting on the ground, and asked a little strangely, "What's wrong with you?"
Seeing Lin Xiong walking towards him, Qin Zijun shouted: "Ahhh!!h
Lin Xiong looked confused, not knowing what was going on with Qin Zijun.
"You, you, you, are you Lin Xiong!" Qin Zijun was so frightened by his own thoughts that he was incoherent.
Lin Xiong didn't know why, he stepped forward and pulled Qin Zijun, and Qin Zijun cried out.
It can be seen that Qin Zijun is on the verge of collapse.
There was really no way, Lin Xiong could only squat down and comfort Qin Zijun: "Don't worry, that's not a female ghost, she's a human." β
Qin Zijun thought that Lin Xiong was lying to himself: "You lied to me! I want to go back!"
"It's true! I don't lie to you, this is the only way to get David to agree to cooperate. Lin Xiong is confident and sure.
This is Lin Xiong, who Qin Zijun is familiar with, she rubbed her stiff ankles and was helped to stand up by Lin Xiong.
"Why are you so sure. Qin Zijun looked at the pitch-black forest.
She was still terrified.
"She has feet, I just saw it, let's go, I'll protect you if there's danger. Lin Xiong helped Qin Zijun, who was floating because of fear, and limped towards the interior of the forest.
There was a small wooden house in the forest, from which the cry of the witch was constantly heard.
The sound was terrible, and the windows of the wooden house could clearly see the white clothes going back and forth.
Qin Zijun hid behind Lin Xiong, who looked at the wooden house and said, "It seems that this is it." β
"Lin Xiong, I'm afraid!" Qin Zijun said with a wince.
Lin Xiong patted Qin Zijun on the shoulder: "If I'm not mistaken, the person inside must be David's wife." β
"David's wife?" Qin Zijun was puzzled.
"White Shadow's clothes are Victorian, and there is also a portrait of a woman in Victorian clothes hanging behind David's office, which David says is his mother, so I guess it's their family tradition to wear it. Lin Xiong walked slowly towards the cabin.
"But how can I be sure that it must be David's wife? I have been here many times, and I have never seen his wife, except that this manor belongs to his wife. β
"I'm just guessing, just go in and see. The forest bear strode towards the cabin.
The song came from the hut again, and Lin Xiong stood at the door of the hut and knocked on the door.
"Who?!" the song stopped abruptly, and Orthodox British English came from the cabin.
"Is it Kolo, my dear child?" said the voices of the men in the door.
When Qin Zijun heard the voice in the door, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least it was not a ghost.
The door opened, and a woman with a vicissitudes of face pushed open the door, about fifty years old, full of white hair, and her eyes were shining.
"You're not Kolo! Who are you! You killed Kolo, right! It's you!" screamed the woman in white, reaching out to grab Lin Xiong's neck.
Lin Xiong stepped back slightly, and the woman couldn't hold it, screaming and pounced again.
"Calm down, Lady David!" shouted Lin Xiong.
Hearing Lin Xiong's honorific title, the woman in white froze her arm, and she muttered to herself: "Lady David?
Seeing the woman's performance, Lin Xiong could be sure that the woman in front of him was Mrs. David.
The woman screamed, rushed to the hut and knelt on the ground, folded her hands in prayer.
"Excuse me. Lin Xiong nodded to the cabin, closed the door, and exited the cabin.
Qin Zijun asked puzzledly, "What are you going to do?"
Lin Xiong didn't speak, turned his head and grabbed Qin Zijun's shoulder: "Okay, let's go back." β
Qin Zijun was full of doubts: "This is your ghost hunting?"
"It's enough to know who she is. Lin Xiong smiled.
Qin Zijun was completely confused by Lin Xiong's behavior, she wanted to find out the specific situation, but because of her weak feet, she went to the bungalow with Lin Xiong's support.
"Sure enough, it's not a ghost. Knowing that the crying that happened in the manor every night was not caused by ghosts, Qin Zijun was in a much more relaxed mood, and the gloomy woods around him were not so terrifying.
ββ
followed Lin Xiong back to the bungalow, although she already knew that the ghost in the manor was a false alarm, Qin Zijun still didn't dare to sleep alone, she strongly asked to continue to live in a room with Lin Xiong.
After the two turned off the lights, the crying outside came again.
Qin Zijun asked with some puzzlement: "What's going on with Mrs. David?"
"It seems that Mrs. David has some mental problems, and I have heard that a large part of the Rothschilds are close relatives, so many people in the family have intellectual and spiritual defects. Lin Xiong explained.
Qin Zijun suddenly realized.
"Then how can you be sure that you will be able to discuss business with David tomorrow morning?" Qin Zijun was puzzled.
Lin Xiong covered the quilt, crying outside constantly, Lin Xiong casually took an earbud and stuffed it in his ear: "Sleep, don't think so much!
ββ
Early the next morning, the housekeeper came to wake up Lin Xiong in person.
Qin Zijun's eyes were hazy, and he heard the housekeeper standing outside shouting, "Mr. Lin Xiong, are you awake?"
Lin Xiong was washing up in the toilet when he heard the voice of the housekeeper and poked his head out and replied, "Immediately! β
After Lin Xiong finished washing, he followed Qin Zijun to David's office.
Qin Zijun was very curious about what David wanted to say to Lin Xiong.
Entering David's office, David sat upright in front of his office chair, and he was carefully cutting his cigar.
Seeing Lin Xiong coming in, David stood up and said, "You were quite energetic last night, I saw you near the hot spring last night." β
Lin Xiong replied with a smile: "Yes, it is an honor to meet the true owner of the manor, your wife." β
David snorted coldly, Qin Zijun stood weakly behind, and he didn't dare to say a word from afar.
Seeing that David was a little angry, he added, "Isn't Mr. Lin conscious of being a guest? I reminded you that it's best not to run around at night. β
Lin Xiong replied disapprovingly: "Don't you want someone who can give you a bright eye? β
When David heard Lin Xiong say this, he angrily put the cigar into the box: "You are pretending to be smart!
"Isn't it?" Lin Xiong stared at David's eyes carefully, "Or are you lying?"
The two looked at each other for about a minute, and David suddenly laughed and said, "Lin Xiong, you really impress me, compared to other people who come to seek cooperation, you are much smarter than them." β
Lin Xiong smiled.
"That's right! I'll give you a hint! I just want to see which of you pays the most attention to details and who can understand me better! More importantly, I want to see which of you has the most courage!" David didn't expect Lin Xiong to understand him.
"It's more than that. Lin Xiong stretched out his index finger and shook it, and said with a smile: "You want to see who has the courage to find someone to pretend, but you don't hesitate to let me go to find out your wife, you have other purposes." β
David's eyes became more and more appreciative of Lin Xiong: "That's right, I have other purposes, if I can, I hope someone can solve my wife's problem." β
Lin Xiong turned his head slightly and winked at Qin Zijun.
Qin Zijun froze, so this is David's test of Lin Xiong?!
Lin Xiong turned his head to look directly at David and said, "What do you want me to do." β
ββ
"Of all these people, you are the only one who understands my thoughts. David sighed.
Lin Xiong and Qin Zijun did not interject and listened carefully to David's speech.
"In order to maintain the purebred bloodline of the Rothschild family, I married my cousin, who is now my wife, but my wife has always had mental problems, and then I conceived a son with her, named Chlo, but I didn't expect = due to close relatives, Chloe died of poor health at birth. My wife was mentally ill, but after the manager's incident, it was even more difficult to accept it, and she became what she is now. β
It wasn't until David finished speaking that Lin Xiong asked, "How do you need me to help you?" Mr. David? Mental problems should be handled by a psychiatrist, right?"
David looked back at his mother's portrait: "I want you, so that there will be no more ghosts crying wolves in the manor from now on, and I don't want to see my wife again!"
Qin Zijun almost screamed in surprise, and David had a fierce look on his face, ruthless.
Even Lin Xiong was stunned by David's words, he didn't expect David to be so ruthless.
"What do you mean?" asked Lin Xiong repeatedly.
"That's right, I want my wife to disappear from the world. David looked at Lin Xiong with a gloomy face: "Can you do it?"
Lin Xiong and Qin Zijun did not answer.
ββ
Lin Xiong and Qin Zijun stayed in the room, Ms. Kun called Qin Zijun, Qin Zijun glanced at Lin Xiong who was thinking, and went to the corridor to talk to Ms. Kun after connecting.
Five minutes later, Qin Zijun came back from the corridor, and she said to Lin Xiong: "Ms. Kun asked why we hadn't left the manor yet, and I told Ms. Kun that David had given us time and had the opportunity to sign a cooperation. β
Lin Xiong nodded, he raised his head and asked Qin Zijun, "What do you think, what does David want?"
Qin Zijun said with disgust: "Of course, he feels that his wife has lost his face, so he wants to make his wife disappear, and the viciousness of the capitalist family is obvious!"
Lin Xiong stood at the window and looked into the distance: "David wants his wife to evaporate from the world." β
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Qin Zijun asked rhetorically.
Lin Xiong shook his head: "I don't know. β
ββ
When the Snack Street Entertainment City reached the final stage of renovation, a man wearing a white helmet held a drawing and walked towards the innermost part of the entertainment city with a toolbox in his hand.
Li Jian was guarding the door to supervise the work, and when he saw the burly man walking to the innermost, he immediately called out to the man: "What are you going to do?"
The man turned his head, pressed the brim of his helmet very low, covering most of his face, and said in a deep tone: "I'll go to the ceiling." β
"Ceiling? are you alone?" Li Jian felt that this person was a little familiar, and was about to ask a few more words, but the man lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Li Jian.
There was a noisy sound outside, and Brother Tai walked into the entertainment city and shouted at Li Jian: "Li Jian! What are you doing!
Li Jian turned around to greet Brother Tai, pointed to the man in the white helmet and asked, "Have you called someone to hang the ceiling?"
"No," replied Tyge.
Li Jianjian turned his head, and the man in the white helmet, who was still standing in place just now, was gone.
"Someone has broken in! Quickly find him for me!" Li Jian realized that something was wrong and immediately shouted.
There was a sudden chaos around them.
