Chapter 7: A Fiancé Fell from the Sky
The days without Zhou Xuran didn't have much impact on me, mainly when Zhou Xuran was there, I didn't have much intersection with him, I looked at the compass in my office as usual, and I had nothing to do to do.
Only this morning the compass showed a very faint light.
I began to panic if there was a new evil qi again, and now the brightness was very low, and I thought that the sooner this kind of thing was dealt with, the better. I hurriedly called Zhou Xuran, the other end of the phone could not be connected, I sent him a message, and waited anxiously for his reply, but there was still no news from him when I got off work.
I walked home restlessly, trying to tell myself to be calm.
I didn't eat at noon today because I was worried, but I felt hungry at this time.
I want Beibei to accompany me, Beibei said that he recently followed a new report that is very important, saying that there is a company that has committed suicide and three people have died, and they want to follow this incident closely and dig out the inside story.
I went to the noodle restaurant I frequented, ate a bowl of beef noodles, and went home as usual. It's just that at this time, I once again vaguely felt that someone was following me, and I began to panic, and at this moment I told myself to stay calm.
I didn't take the shortcut path home, I couldn't help but run around, ran to the bus stop with a lot of people, through the light of the stop sign to see that the person was still vaguely behind me, I took a deep breath, thinking that while there were many people, I couldn't sit still, I mustered up the courage to turn back suddenly, picked up my bag and beat it randomly: "So many people dare to follow me, put up with you for a long time, don't think I'm a bully, I'll call the police to arrest you, now it's a legal society." ”
I yelled to give myself courage, and at the same time I beat up mindlessly, so as to attract the attention of the people around me, and see that this guy still dares to follow me. The fight was getting up, my bag was caught, I wanted to call for help from the people around me, I thought why this society is so indifferent, seeing this situation, no one came to help, and there was nothing valuable in the bag, I began to pull and kick randomly.
"You can see clearly, it's me, if you hit me again, I'm really welcome." Hearing that the voice was a little familiar, I stopped and saw that the person in front of me was actually Ji Ran.
"You are really strong enough, you have so much strength, and you are so heavy, if it weren't for a woman, I would have been unwelcome." I calmed down and tidied up my clothes and bag.
"Your girlfriend doesn't have a good temper." An uncle next to him came out with a sentence, and there were a few girls who were going home in the car around him, saying: "I look so handsome and have such a heavy hand, I must be reluctant." ”
Ji Ran on the side obviously liked this evaluation very much, and looked at the girls with a smile. A pair of peach blossom eyes, discharging electricity everywhere.
"I don't know him." I tried my best to clear the relationship, turned around and prepared to leave, because I knew that Ji Ran found me, and there would be no good thing.
"Yang Yinglin, let's talk."
"I don't have anything to talk about with you, and the compass doesn't need to be discussed. Did you send the person who followed me a few days ago, and if you continue to do this, I will call the police. ”
"A few days ago, I asked someone to check on you, there is no malicious intent, I just want to know about you."
"What am I doing to you?" I couldn't help but come out with expletives.
"Can you please stop being so vulgar."
"The rabbit is anxious and bites, I have nothing to say to you, please go back, follow me again, see you and beat you once." The more I think about it, the more angry I become.
That Ji Ran smiled instead: "You are really vulgar, I don't care about you, I really have something to do with you, don't worry, I won't send someone to follow you, think about it carefully, if I want to harm you, I will be beaten so badly by you, seeing that your mood is so unstable, forget it tonight, I will look for you tomorrow." I didn't want to say anything more to him, so I took my bag and turned away in a rage.
When I came to the office early in the morning and took out my compass, I found that the light was a little brighter today than yesterday, indicating that the evil qi was accumulating.
I tried to contact Zhou Xuran again, but there was still no news from him.
I'm a little anxious, if I wait like this, will things get worse and worse, I don't know if anyone will be hurt, I don't know what to do.
The phone rang, and I hurriedly picked up the call that was not Zhou Xuran, and I was a little disappointed.
"It's me." I hung up the phone immediately, and I heard Ji Ran's voice.
The phone rang again: "Can you listen to me?" ”
"I can't." Once again, I hung up decisively.
In the following time, I didn't want to answer Ji Ran's call, but who knew that he was actually a persistent person, the phone kept ringing, I was a little annoyed, and the other end of the phone was also impatient: "Yang Yinglin, you'd better take advantage of my good temper and don't mess with me." I'm waiting for you downstairs, there's something very important, I've got time, I'll wait until you come down. Then hung up on me.
I think although we haven't met much, according to Ji Ran's stinky temper, being able to tolerate me like this must have something to do with the compass.
I don't know why my heart has been feeling uneasy, when I got off work, when I walked downstairs, I saw Ji Ran outside his car, I knew it was waiting for me, it seemed that I had been waiting for a long time.
The little girls in the company were a little commotion, "It's so handsome, look at that car should be very rich, I don't know who I'm waiting for, I'm so envious."
But I don't like it very much, every time I see Ji Ran, I'm not very happy, it's probably not good, I can't avoid it. I wanted to take advantage of the crowd to get off work in a hurry, but I didn't let him wait for me, and besides, it's not good to be seen and discussed, I've always been a low-key person.
"Yang Yinglin, what are you hiding, I've been waiting for you for a day." Ji Ran deliberately said loudly and walked in my direction. I admired his good eyesight, someone was already looking back at me, I decisively zipped up to my neck and put on my hat and mask.
Ji Ran walked in front of me: "Do you use it like this, I don't think you are cheap, do you see that I am so unsightly, you must know that there are many people who want to use me to take the position." ”
I remembered the entertainment scandal page he once appeared, and I despised him even more in my heart. Took the opportunity to lower the brim of the hat.
"Yang Yinglin, I really have something urgent, I want to talk to you, it won't take a long time, you don't give me a chance to talk for a day, I will wait for you at the door of the company and at the door of the house every day." I really didn't expect Ji Ran to be so patient, completely beyond my expectations, I had no choice but to whisper, "Go to the café in front." ”
We went to the café one after the other and found a remote corner to sit down. "You don't have to be so tight, isn't it hot?"
I pulled down my mask: "If you have something to say, don't talk about what the compass gives you." ”
Ji Ran smiled: "You are quite principled." You're so much more interesting than I thought. I won't say much more, and I won't be able to come to you until I have to. As long as you promise to help me with this, I think maybe I can try to think about our marriage contract. ”
I almost sprayed him in the face with a sip of coffee: "What a marriage contract, you are crazy." ”
Ji Ran looked at me a little suspiciously: "Don't tell me, you don't know." Aren't you just trying to use the compass thing to blackmail me into getting engaged to you? ”
"You're crazy, I'm not crazy. I never knew anything about the marriage contract, and besides, I don't know you well, and I don't have much to do with it, you can't make up nonsense for the sake of the compass, this trick is useless to me, I know you don't like me, and I don't have much interest in you. ”
"Didn't Uncle tell you? It was set by your grandfather and my uncle, and my uncle said it was a baby parent. ”
"What age is it, Master Fang hasn't told me about it, and my grandfather hasn't even mentioned it. Even if there is that, it is also a matter of their previous life, what age, and they still do this. Ji Ran looked at me: "I always thought that you were the same as those people I had seen before, trying to climb our Ji family. Even clever means, after all, you can impress my uncle, and let my uncle hand over our family token to you. In order to find out your bottom line, that's why I found someone to check on you. After investigating you for a while, I realized that you are not what I expected. ”
"Anyway, I solemnly tell you for the last time, I will never give you the compass, I have heard about the marriage contract for the first time, it has nothing to do with me, you can rest assured."
Ji Ran thought thoughtfully, "Actually, I came to you this time, I really need your help." Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to do it. ”
I was a little suspicious, "With your Ji family, I don't feel the need to use me." ”
"Our Ji family has many industries, and one of them has an electronic equipment processing factory, which has a little problem. Several workers have already committed suicide. ”
"It's your management problem, the black factory exploiting labor." Ji Ran looked at me with some seriousness: "What if I say no." At first, I didn't understand why Zhou Xuran would circle you by his side, I secretly followed you that night in the swimming pool, and I knew that you were the person with the blood of extreme yin that my uncle was looking for before. ”
"You followed us, you must have seen everything that night." I looked at Ji Ran with some horror.
Ji Ran was calmer than I thought: "Zhou Xuran also knows that I am following you, and I know everything that night." ”
"I'm not surprised at all, because it seems that I know more than you. My uncle once told me that the Ji family, the Zhou family, and the Yang family have a curse for a hundred generations, about the curse of doom. ”
"And what else do you know?" It is rare to see Ji Ran's serious appearance.
"I have already done an investigation into the suicide incident in our factory, and I suspect that it is related to evil spirits, and we must solve it as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that more innocent people will be harmed."
"How can you be sure it's caused by evil spirits?"
"Is the compass starting to shine again lately?" I didn't speak, which was kind of acquiescence. "That compass is our Ji family's thing, I can naturally sense it."
"Did you contact Xu Ran last week?"
"I've contacted him, but he hasn't heard anything from him."
"He should go back to the old house of the Zhou family to find some things, he should be abroad, and he is estimated to not be able to come back in the past few days. Now in this situation, I need you to go to the factory with me to see if it is caused by evil spirits. I hesitated and didn't answer.
"If you're afraid I'll rob you of your compass, I can assure you."
"I want to wait for Zhou Xuran's news before making a decision. He said don't let me act rashly. Ji Ran mocked me a little: "You listen to him." ”
"The main thing is that even if the two of us rush over and confirm that it is caused by evil spirit, there is nothing we can do."
"Believe me or not, I'll figure it out, and the sooner this matter is resolved, the better."
"I can't trust myself mainly. You should have seen it last time, I had a bad aura in my body last time. ”
"I'm different from Zhou Xuran, I'm willing to take risks, at least it's better than sitting still." I was still a little hesitant, and Ji Ran was obviously a little impatient.
"The following is an important news in the city, at 19 o'clock this evening, there was another employee suicide in the city's Jijia electronics industry processing plant, which is the seventh suicide this month. It's been just a day since the last suicide. This matter has aroused widespread concern in the society, and the Ji family issued a statement that it will be properly handled and assist relevant departments in investigating the situation. Jijia electronic processing plant is facing a shutdown. I saw Ji Ran's face was heavy.
"Another one died, and if it drags on any longer, it may continue to happen." I plucked up my courage, "We won't wait for Zhou Xuran, I promise you to go with you." ”
Ji Ran immediately got up after hearing this: "Then we'll set off now." ”
I could see that Ji Ran was an impatient person, but I didn't expect his style to be much more impatient than I thought.
is different from Zhou Xuran's calmness, he can be described as hot. "We set off overnight, and the factory wasn't in the center of the city, on the outskirts of a neighboring city," he said. ”
"I wonder if I'm going to go back and pack my things, and how we're going to get there, whether I'm going to have to take the train faster."
"Don't waste time packing your things, according to my investigation, these suicides have recently happened every other day, so we have to get there as soon as possible, it's too late to buy a train ticket, I think I'll drive and we'll go straight away." If you drive at night, it will only take about five hours, and we can buy anything we need to change and wash at any time. I just got into Ji Ran's car and set off.
