Chapter 1: The Players Behind the Scenes
The moonlight pours over the eternal night city.
The financial street of Gaoping City under the dark night is as cold as it is in the daytime. It was the middle of the night, and except for a few lights in the hall for the guards to move around, only the high-rise windows of the city's financial giant Ling Rui Company faintly shone yellow.
Although through the curtains, you can still see two figures pacing leisurely looming. In fact, the atmosphere in the chairman's office is more dignified than the scene of a world-class Go tournament.
Wang Yu, the city's most famous financial tycodile, stood with his back to another person, his hands behind his back, as beautiful and solemn as during the day.
His stature was thin and tall, making the people behind him look ridiculous in comparison: fat and sluggish. The whole person seems to be greasy with lard.
The eyes of the two were equally heavy, but the lower half of the face of the "lard guy" was full of sneers, and he made the same greasy voice: "Hehe, Wang Dong, actually, it's not a big deal, as long as... β
"Don't you know that walls have ears after living for decades! How many times have I told you, don't bring your idea into the company! Wang Yu said with a half-roar.
The "lard guy" was taken aback in vain, and took the corner of his mouth in response.
"Zeng Shiqi, what era do you think it is!" Wang Yu finally couldn't hold his breath, turned around and slapped the table vigorously, word by word: "Murder, huh?" Murder yes! β
"If it weren't for the stinky girls who had to ask the lawyer to change the will, I could... Can I do such a stupid thing! Zeng Shi finished speaking, and said with a hippie smile, "Hehe, Wang Dong, no, brother-in-law, don't you have someone in the private hospital, help me suppress this matter." My wife's doctor has said that she will not live for half a year, and she will 'hang' at any time, and it is not easy for me to get a certificate of natural death, and it will definitely not be difficult for you to do! β
"Humph!" Wang Yu said coldly.
"Oh, Wang Dongye! We're a family behind closed doors, do you think I really want to throw this hot potato to you! Zeng Shilu leaned to Wang Yu's ear, and the greasy smell of sweat rushed straight to his nose, and the latter frowned.
"Don't let them check it anymore, my wife's inheritance is not so important, in case they really go to count my net worth, they have to find out where the last project money went! The winning company is you..."Zeng Shiyu deliberately nodded to the end, revealing a dirty and treacherous smile.
"You!" Wang Yu gritted his teeth, but he didn't have a seizure after all, but just closed his eyes tightly. His finger joints made a piercing sound from time to time, and after a long time, he looked up at Zeng Shiyi, and actually laughed out loud: "Bastard, don't you take it as an example!" β
The moonlight twisted and writhed, as if to make fun of these vulgar dialogues.
Zeng Shiqi made a surprise gesture, and said with a flattering face: "I have long said that Wang Dong's ability can reach the sky!" As soon as this event is over, I will ask you ... He suddenly stopped his voice, kept twitching his nose and said, "Wang Dong, what kind of incense have you ordered, it smells so good... Kindness! Smells... β
Wang Yu inhaled, and sure enough, he smelled an ethereal and poetic aroma, but he was suddenly startled, and a wave of uneasy emotions surged in his chest.
Zeng Shiqi praised while moving the black suitcase he had been carrying in his hand to Wang Yu's desk: "Wang Dong, we don't need to be polite anymore, I know that it's not cheap for me to do this, this money... β
"Stop!" Wang Yu suddenly rushed forward, tightly pressed his hand that was about to open the suitcase, and said quickly: "Don't talk about this first, it's not too early, you go first!" Walk! β
Zeng Shiqi looked dazed, only said that he was posturing, broke Wang Yu's hand, and said more and more: "Oh, there is actually ...... here"
"I told you to go!" Wang Yu roared eagerly: "Get out!" β
The box was still opened, and Wang Yu sat down in a chair and gasped. He looked at Zeng Shiyi's inexplicable expression, realized that nothing had happened, and let out a long breath, and couldn't help but laugh at his nervous sensitivity.
He gladly looked at the open box of huge money, but suddenly his face turned pale, and he exclaimed, "What do you mean by this! β
Zeng Shi was stunned and glanced at the box, "Knock! He sat down on the ground.
That's a box full of dark coins!
It should have been stacks of unnumbered renminbi that I had put in by myself two hours ago.
No, no, it can't be! Is there a ghost?
As soon as this thought got into his mind, all the electric lights in the room suddenly went out with a "snap", and the entire Ling Rui building suddenly fell into a thick darkness.
"The world...... Shi Yu ......" Zeng Shi heard a familiar voice and sounded close to him, "Shi Yu he...... Why are you taking my money, are you short of money...... I can give you ......" He looked up, and his dead wife's body hung and swayed from the ceiling, her long blood-dripping hair hanging straight down to his head, and a drop of blood dripping into his eyes.
A scream almost cracked the roof. Zeng Shiqi maintained a screaming mouth and fainted.
All the guards in the building had already been attracted by this scream, and they slammed the door hard and shouted, "Mr. Wang! Mr. Wang! β
Tonight's guards are all his henchmen.
Wang Yu stared at the window tightly, his whole body was already frozen, and he suddenly heard a burst of laughter from the "female ghost".
A long, eerie wig fell, followed by a bloody sponge and a long nightgown. When I looked up again, I saw a shadow in a black cloak sliding down with only a thin iron rope around her waist, and her behavior was elegant and neat, and the "female ghost" just now was exactly what she was playing.
Wang Yu gasped heavily, forced himself to calm down, and angrily scolded the woman in black: "Phantom, you and I don't interfere with the river water in the well water of this city, don't meddle in your affairs!" β
The woman in black laughed again, pointed at Zeng Shiyi and said, "It has been clinically confirmed that the fat man's heart is indeed much more squeamish than the average person!" β
She stared at Wang Yu and restrained her smile: "Give you three days." You know what to do. β
The guard outside the door slammed open the wooden door and broke in.
"Catch her!" Wang Yu pointed to the ceiling and said sharply.
The woman in black let out a mischievous sigh and jumped out of the window.
"Mr. Wang, she ......," the police officer who immediately rushed to the window and looked down exclaimed.
"If you can't escape, guard every exit and search me!" Wang Yu ordered.
Wang Yu twitched his cheeks and sneered: "Phantom, it's so naΓ―ve for you to treat me here as one of those little thieves." β
It was indeed impossible for the phantom to "disappear" in an instant, she just quickly jumped into the room two floors below the chairman's room. She had unlocked the windows and locks of the room before she could do so.
She walked out of the room, dodging the cameras at the end of the hallway, and moved against the wall. The sound of the officers' footsteps approached the floor where she was.
She was about to return to her previous room, when she felt a hand in the darkness on her shoulder, and almost at the same moment, she snapped her backhand and touched the man's cufflinks, which were so wide that it was easy to distinguish the uniform that belonged to the guard.
She was so frightened that she raised her foot and kicked at the man, but at the same moment she was slapped on the back of her foot by the man's palm, and the foot was blocked straight back, until when she hit the ground, her toes were numb, and she was about to fall backwards.
Behind him, he had already caught himself with one hand at the waist. She leaned forward again, holding the man to her feet.
When she was about to strike again, the shouts of a group of guards were heard not far behind her, and the man hurriedly pulled her into a small gap between the two rooms in the corridor, and said softly, "Don't go out." β
The voice is bright and clear, and it doesn't sound very old.
The phantom was puzzled, how could anyone among the guards help him. Even so, there should be no second person to know his whereabouts.
The man quickly ran to the group of guards, pretending to be out of breath and said, "Find ...... Found none! β
"No! What floor is she on? The guard who took the lead said urgently.
Another police officer said: "There is no such thing on this floor, let's look for it again!" β
The hallway grew quiet. The man folded back, squeezed into the crack, and said to the phantom, "The terrace of the last room is a surveillance loophole. β
The phantom could smell the faint fragrance of the man in the small space, not like cologne. β
She couldn't help but laugh in a low voice: "Ambergris? Good rich guards. β
The man laughed too, and didn't let it go: "Why is Bond Girl so embarrassed?" β
The phantom smiled faintly, "I don't know kung fu." β
"I've heard of it, that's why it's amazing." The man said seriously, with a little respect.
Phantom took a slightly heavy soft pouch from his waist, "This is the cash I just exchanged from Fat Zeng." β
The man said: "I will return to Zhao after the completion of the project, as well as the project money." β
The phantom smiled, "With my peers here, it looks like I can get off work." β
They all slapped their hands in the darkness.
"And this hole card." She pulled out a small disc and fumbled for it to put it in the man's hand.
βWhat?β
This is a video of Wang Yu fooling around in the Honglin nightclub. Three days later, if he still harbors the dead fat man, he will play the video in the city cinema. The phantom stepped out of the gap and paused, "If he investigates, the video will still be played." β
"Hahaha." The man couldn't help but laugh.
The apparition walked towards the room at the end of the hallway, followed by the man.
The moonlight poured softly on the terrace.
The man couldn't help but say, "When will we see each other again?" β
She laughed, "Don't see you." β
The man was dumbfounded for a moment, and then said, "Do you want to know who I am?" β
His figure was as beautiful as the human body, but their faces were hazy in the darkness of the night and the moonlight.
"No, it's better not to, as if you don't know."
The apparition tied a thin ribbon to the railing of the terrace.
The man happily said: "Actually, we can leave a phone call for each other, or I don't mind MSN, QQ, or ...... Hey, you don't have to......"
The phantom swirled down the ribbon he was holding in his hand, and the man touched the ribbon on the railing, but the owner gently pulled it at the bottom of the stairs, and the slipknot of the ribbon loosened, and the delicate and icy touch flowed between his fingers.
It was as if he could see a mysterious fragrance on the palm of his hand melt into the night.
A crisp sound crossed the silent terrace. He picked up one of the cards she had left behind.
It is a traditional yellowed tarot card with a bright moon on the deck, which seems to be clearer than the moonlight that night.
"Phantom, who are you sacred?" He leaned against the railing and muttered.
