Chapter 44: Caught in the Dark
Lin'er asked this very urgently, as if she had stuffed a ball of freshly ground mountain roots into Zhang Linfan's mouth, choking him with a rebuttal in his throat, unable to go up and down, and his face was a little blue.
However, Yun Yan reacted quite quickly this time, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and rubbed away the tears hanging from the corners of his eyes by the way.
"Linfan, don't be righteous and violent as soon as you touch people's lives, just what Master Hu said just now, even if I change them, I won't even let them go at the beginning, and keep them for ten years, which is already considered to be their earnings!"
"And that's not all!"
raised her eyes and glanced at the fox Xiaohu, and found that she was a little hesitant to drink, and her eyes rolled a few times, she should have something to say yet, and she didn't know whether she should say it or not.
Seeing that I looked at myself like this, she put down her wine glass, as if precipitating her emotions for a while, and then slowly opened her mouth again.
"Mr. Zhang, can I call you Linfan?" Looking at Zhang Linfan, the fox Xiaohu's expression had a deep sadness, and after receiving the answer, he took a deep breath and continued, "Linfan, maybe the justice in your heart is that human life is greater than everything, whether we are demons or ghosts, we are always stronger than humans, so we should not harm humans!"
Zhang Linfan was silent for a moment, nodded, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"Yes, in my opinion, whether it is an immortal or a spirit, it is always much more powerful than humans, and no matter what, it should not kill so many people!"
This sentence was exchanged for a wry smile from me, Lin'er, and Hu Xiaohu, because we were powerless to refute it, and what he said was right.
"Yes, we are indeed much stronger than humans!" Fox continued, his expression less complicated and more relieved, "Don't you know......?
There was some confusion in her chatter, and after sorting it out for a long time, everyone could figure it out-
It turned out that the Shen family was not a curse of love at all.
It's just that their ancestors found the woman incarnated by the nine-tailed fox clan, and deceived her into promising her on the grounds of saving her, but she became a plaything for the pleasure of the men in their family, because she did not die, she gave birth to children again and again, until one day, she could not conceive and give birth to a child again, so she was cut off by the ancestor of the Shen family, and the fox skin was peeled alive and the fox tail was cut off.
When those two eyes turned into pearls and were praised into the palace, the Shen family has been on the rise since then.
It was also from that time that there was the blood of the nine-tailed fox in the family, but among the children reborn over the years, the only daughter would become a nine-tailed fox after adulthood, and there were very few men, so from the ancestors to the later extinction, there have always been girls who have awakened the blood of the nine-tailed fox who have been innocently killed, just because of the pearl and fox skin that can be exchanged for power and profit.
At the beginning, Shen Hao and Shen Hu, that is, today's fox and fox brothers and sisters, did not have parents, because they gave birth to twins, and they were the eldest sons and grandchildren.
However, Shen Hao failed to successfully turn back into the fox body in the end, not because he did not inherit the fox blood, but because the Shen family had always misunderstood a meaning, that is, the resentment generated when the full moon and the nine-tailed fox survived, so as to really stimulate the boiling of the fox blood, so as to turn back into the fox body.
And Shen Hao saw his sister rushing over when he was about to collapse consciously, and found that Shen Tan was dedicated to protecting his sister, so he let go of the resentment in his heart and begged for death with peace of mind, so he finally died in human form.
The reason why Shen Hu suddenly became a fox was precisely because he heard the dispute between the third master of the Shen family and Shen Tan outside the door, and his heart was full of resentment, and it was the night of the full moon on August 15, and the conditions were just right.
Of course, the Shen family is also self-inflicted, and it is also deserving to do such a cruel thing in order to seek eternal wealth and longevity.
In fact, the parents of the brother and sister did not die accidentally, but accidentally bumped into something at home, and learned that the twins would be treated like this in the future, so they took advantage of the dark wind to secretly flee with their children one night, and as a result, they were still captured by the Shen family and brutally killed.
And that Shen Tan was obviously such a good teenager before, but later he also followed in the footsteps of his family, I think, probably human nature is like this! In the face of such a powerful temptation, maybe as he grew older, he couldn't resist and embarked on the old path of the elders in the family, and mutilated his family for those things that life did not bring and death did not bring.
There may be some things that are really destined by God and cannot be changed, this may be fate!
"I'm sorry, I might have been too biased!"
Zhang Linfan put down his wine glass, stood up and quickly bowed deeply to the fox Xiaohu.
All of us were taken aback, surprised by his sudden apology, and even more surprised by his sincere "90 degrees".
"What are you doing, I don't blame you!"
With a wave of his hand and poured all the wine in the cup into his mouth, the fox Xiaohu quickly reached out and helped him up, the expression on his face was angry and funny, and finally his cheeks were red, and he even spoke a little incoherently.
Once again, everyone was seated again, and I filled everyone with a glass of wine and set my eyes on the little fox.
"Fox, what are you doing today? Isn't it because you came over to talk about your life experience?"
Naturally, she knew in her heart that she was definitely not here for this, but she just heard Yun Yan's curiosity, so she talked about it by the way.
Raised her hand and looked at the watch, followed by ten fingers quickly pinched a few times, Hu Xiaohu stood up and said, "The hour is really just right, it's really good to go out and take a lesson!" After saying this, she quickly attached to my ear, and her voice was very small, "Niang Niang remembers, if you have to investigate this matter thoroughly, you must be careful of the Tengtian Entertainment Media Company, remember!"
As soon as the words fell, the wind suddenly came from the ground in the store, and a breathtaking aroma came with the wind, but this fox fox went with the fragrance, if it didn't leave such a smell, I am afraid that she would have thought that she had never appeared at all.
Lin'er rubbed her eyes that were dazzled by the fine dust and sneezed a few times.
"Hello, hello, this fox sister will leave, make such a big battle, harm me, ha, haha, ha!"
Yun Yan also seemed to be confused, and now he also sat on the side and rubbed vigorously.
"What did she tell you?"
Only Zhang Linfan, like me, reached out and covered the mouth of his wine glass, so as not to dust and dirty elixir.
Handed him a look, indicating that he would not mention it now, he would be quick to understand, simply closed his mouth, picked up his hand and waved it in front of him, and continued to drink his wine.
After looking down and pondering for a moment, I looked up again and looked at Yun Yan, who was carefully examining the wine glass.
"Yun Yan, your company has held such an event this time and killed a few people, it seems that they have nothing to do with each other, but it seems that they are inextricably linked, which makes people have to doubt, I want to ask, your company should have done similar activities before, right?"
Yun Yan took a sip of wine, his dark eyes rolled in his sockets, and said, "Well, I've been in this company for more than a year and almost two years, and I've handled a lot of such activities, big and small, but this has really never happened, so could it be just a coincidence?"
His words made my already locked brows deeper, and asked: "Whether it is a coincidence or not, we need to know the truth after the truth is revealed, is it convenient to reveal some of the situation of your company?"
Nodding, Yun Yan cleared his throat and said solemnly: "Well, our Tengtian Entertainment Media was only established two years ago, and the investor is a returnee named Tengtian, if you want to say this Mr. Teng, it is simply a myth, it is said that in the United States there is an industry ranging from electronic media to supermarkets and convenience stores, and later, it was said that it was to serve the motherland, so he came back and created our company, which is considered to be advancing by leaps and bounds in terms of development, and now it is also famous!"
I don't know anything about these things, and I don't care about the world, where I can imagine that this small company, which I thought had no characteristics, would be such a huge enterprise.
Fox Xiaohu let me check it is really not kind, even if I am a person who has existed since ancient times, it is not difficult to think that such a big company, there are not thousands of employees but hundreds of large numbers, how easy it is to find out!
"Yun Yan, you have a lot of employees in your company, right?"
Lin'er didn't know if she saw what I was thinking, or if she just happened to think of this, so she asked it on my behalf.
Scratching his head, Yun Yan's fingers gestured back and forth, revealing an extremely feminine expression, and said, "Well, if you don't count temporary workers, it seems that there are about 1,200 people, and our company has a nineteen-story office building in the center of the city!"
My heart trembled again: Nineteenth floor, more than 1,200 employees, even immortals have a headache!
Hearing this, Zhang Linfan finally reacted, and his head turned to him: "Well, something so big happened, I thought the company would stop the activity, but it doesn't seem to be!"
"What?" I picked up the wine glass and put it down again, and also looked at Yun Yan, "A few lives, and they are all participants, aren't you afraid that more people will die if you continue to do it?"
Drinking slowly, Yun Yan asked indifferently: "Those few people didn't die in our company, what does it have to do with us, millions of big projects are invested, if you don't do it, who will pay back the money?" However, in order to maintain our good image, the company's senior management postponed the four-in-two, two-in-one competition for a few months, if you still want to go, just tell me!"
Shaking my head helplessly, I stared at the clear wine in the wine glass, and after savoring his words, I felt that the human feelings in the world were getting colder and thinner!
