Chapter 6: The Ghostly Hand in the Flower Screen

Wang Dayi appeared somewhat troubled, looking as if he was not up to the task. I find it somewhat inappropriate for Team Leader Zhang to assign Wang Dayi to this matter. Although I have only known Wang Dayi for less than a day, I have a general understanding of him; he is definitely a scatterbrain, the kind of person who reveals his true self within three sentences. It would indeed be quite challenging for him to dig deeper into this.

I said, "Very well, madam, you may rest. We shall take our leave now."

After considering my proposal, Team Leader Zhang nodded in agreement, as it was merely a matter of investigating the situation without any substantial danger involved. Moreover, this case was not suitable for ordinary officers to handle, so Team Leader Zhang allowed me, someone who has encountered ghosts, to go.

The African meat mountain was clearly successfully deceived by me. In the midst of our conversation, he took out a walkie-talkie and explained the situation to the "madam" he mentioned. The other party quickly responded, instructing the African meat mountain to take us inside. Thus, under the guidance of the African meat mountain, the胖子 and I entered Villa X

However, we know that this somewhat peculiar old lady is actually Zhang Lanhua, the mother of Feng Yumin, the owner of X Building Materials Company, and she is the "madam" mentioned by the African meat mountain. Therefore, I did not dare to be negligent and quickly said: "Madam, this is the situation. This afternoon, Secretary Zhao was taken away by the tax bureau, and coincidentally, among the large orders he was handling, there are several major clients who are eager to place their orders. We really cannot make decisions on this matter, so we came to seek the chairman and your assistance."

I was naturally prepared. When we arrived, Team Leader Zhang had already briefed us on the situation of this villa. The owner of this villa is a boss of a building materials company named Feng Yumin. There is only a widow mother and an African servant in the household, so I am aware of the servant's name.

This, appearance, I will ask, Taihe Library.

That afternoon at 2:30 PM, under the arrangement of Team Leader Zhang, Fatty and I disguised ourselves as sales representatives from X Building Materials Company and drove a Santana provided by Team Leader Zhang to the X Villa in Xishan

After glancing at Wang Dayi, the old lady Zhang Lanhua did not say much. She simply said to the African woman, "Chunli, go check what's going on. Is there a mouse that has bumped into the flower screen?"

Then let's just call it "Meat Mountain in Africa." She glanced at the X Company uniforms we were wearing and asked us in her awkward, clumsy Chinese.

However, compared to me, that chubby guy from Northeast, Wang Dayi, seemed to have completely overlooked the hand extending from the floral screen. After merely glancing at the floral screen, he exclaimed, "Oh my goodness, old lady, what’s going on in your house? This floral screen is quite eerie; how can it move on its own? Is there someone hidden inside?"

I recited the memorized lines one after another, while also taking out several orders prepared for us by the team and handing them to the elderly lady, Zhang Lanhua. After reviewing the documents, she did not seem to have any doubts, saying, "Yes, I understand these matters. Tomorrow I will..."

However, the more I looked around this grand hall, the more I felt a sense of unease. I couldn't tell if it was because I had once been scratched by a small wooden sword or if I was simply too tense today. In the four large vases at the corners of this hall, I actually saw thick green gas billowing out. Moreover, from the floor of this room, I could faintly hear some crying, which made me feel quite uncomfortable at that moment

At this moment, I volunteered myself, which is actually quite understandable. Captain Zhang and his team have helped me a lot, and although it was due to Hu Laosan's influence, I ultimately do not want to owe too much in terms of favors, thus I played the role of a hero this time.

At that moment, I calmly said: "Sister Chun-Li, it was Secretary Zhao who sent us here. There was an issue at the company, and Secretary Zhao had the tax bureau take us away, claiming we were evading taxes. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal; we could just pull some strings to resolve it. However, several major clients urgently want to place large orders this afternoon, and aside from Secretary Zhao, none of us dare to make a decision. Therefore, we had no choice but to come to you and the boss."

So, Wang Dayi and I drove to the front of Villa X and rang the doorbell for a while, then a curvaceous African woman came out.

At the same time, we turned to look, only to find an elderly woman whose face resembled an orange peel sitting silently on the sofa in the hall, resembling a ghost, which gave a very uncomfortable feeling to those around her

However, at this moment, the remark from the chubby Wang Dayi that he is not capable of handling it caused Captain Zhang Qing considerable headache

Recently, the vice captain and two members of their group were assigned to Hainan Province for a mission. Among the remaining four, one went for a special medical examination three days ago, while another attended a wedding in the western fifth ring this morning and will not return until the day after tomorrow.

"The company's affairs are all handled by Secretary Zhao, didn't you say so, Madam? What are you here for?"

To be honest, this is my first time entering a villa at such a size. At that moment, I just felt it was truly impressive, with a swimming pool, lawn, and fitness area. It is simply a dream place for us homebodies.

In fact, Captain Zhang was also aware that sending the slightly overweight Wang Dayi for this task was somewhat less than ideal. However, due to the special circumstances surrounding this matter, only the specialized personnel from their team had the capability to sense the presence of corpses and the aura of the * diagram * book.

At 1 PM that day, Team Leader Zhang analyzed the situation of the case and issued an order. However, the chubby fellow from the Northeast, Wang Dayi, scratched his head upon hearing this. "Team Leader Zhang, if you want me to charge forward against those living dead, I, Wang Dayi, won't hesitate for a moment. But as for disguising and infiltrating, I can't manage that. With this mouth of mine, I don't even know how I would get through the gate of Villa X. I can't do this job."

To be honest, I was taken aback at first glance. I have seen quite a few Black individuals, but this one is definitely the most unique. Judging by appearance, she must weigh over 300 pounds, resembling a meatball. I can't imagine what kind of food she eats every day to have become like this

Thus, in this special task force, the only ones capable of probing the truth are Zhang Qing and Wang Dayi. However, Team Leader Zhang himself cannot go, as this high-ranking leader has long held a prominent position; wherever he stands, his imposing presence would make even a fool discern something. Therefore, this matter can only be entrusted to the chubby Wang Dayi.

Zhang Lanhua said, and then turned to us, saying: "Living in this place, there are just too many mice. Alright, you can leave the list with me for now, and I will take care of it tomorrow. You all can head back first."

I said somewhat anxiously that this matter was planned by Team Leader Zhang for us, and indeed, Secretary Zhao from X Building Materials Company was taken away for a chat through connections arranged by Team Leader Zhang, so this pretext is almost flawless

One sentence nearly drove me mad; this fat man truly belongs to the category of those who should not speak. Without even addressing the issues within this floral display, you come right out and say that there are people hidden in the vase. This is undoubtedly a great disrespect and certainly not something an employee should say to their boss

The old lady Zhang Lanhua said faintly, but just as she was halfway through her words, a large floral screen in the corner of her living room unexpectedly began to shake, startlingly so. Moreover, I noticed with keen eyes that as the large vase shook, a withered, waxy yellow hand suddenly reached out, only to disappear again in an instant, leaving me pale with fright.

You two may sit down and explain the company's situation to me in detail

Wang Dayi also sensed that something was amiss, but it seemed he could not see the dark energy that I perceived. He merely said to me instinctively, "I can't discern anything in this house for the time being, but the atmosphere feels a bit off. When we enter the house later, stay by my side and do not leave my vicinity under any circumstances"

To be honest, this is my first time in Xishan, and my first impression is that the air is incredibly good. The area where I live, while not as smoggy as the Northeast, still has a peculiar smell, a mix of grilled skewers, buns, and stir-fried dishes, creating a blend of various odors. However, here it is truly picturesque, with clear mountains and waters, and fresh air, which has made me feel much more relaxed.

Wang Dayi said to me while driving. I assured him confidently, telling him not to worry; while I may not be adept at ghost hunting, this matter is virtually guaranteed to succeed without any mistakes.

The chubby Wang Dayi quietly said to me, and we arrived at the hall of Villa X. This is a living room filled with classical charm, adorned with numerous antiques of uncertain authenticity. Moreover, a large calligraphic painting hangs in the center of the hall, exuding considerable grandeur

Fatty! I secretly tugged at Fatty, subtly signaling him to take a look at those flower screens. However, this guy just glanced at the flower screens with a silly expression and then acted as if nothing had happened, even asking me what was wrong.

As I spoke, I led Wang Dayi out of the villa. The moment we stepped outside, I let out a huge sigh of relief. I had clearly seen the hand in the floral screen, just like the things that had emerged from the floor of my house back then, which were definitely ghostly entities. To be honest, I am genuinely terrified of such things.

The old lady directly sent the guests away, which made the chubby Wang Dayi quite displeased. He seemed to want to find an excuse to stay a little longer, but I subtly stopped him.

Just as I was filled with suspicion in my heart, a strange voice, as if it were constipated, suddenly rang out in the living room, startling both Wang Dayi and me

"Gao, we are almost there. I haven't memorized those lines, so once we arrive at Villa X, it will be up to you."

However, the only thing that makes me uncomfortable here is that I always feel there is something odd about this villa. I don't know if it's just my eyes playing tricks on me, but during the day, I can see faint wisps of black mist swirling around the house, which is quite eerie

Based on the clues, it is inferred that those living dead may ultimately all enter the villa of Company X Building Materials. Of course, this is merely our conjecture, and we cannot be certain about it. Therefore, I would trouble you, Xiao Wang, to disguise yourself as a salesperson from Company X Building Materials and investigate the situation at Villa X.

Uncle Zhang, how about I go with Brother Dayi? During my graduation period, I worked at a few companies, although none for long, I have gained some understanding of the building materials industry. I once worked as a salesperson for a building materials company, so there shouldn't be any major issues if I go with Brother Wang.

It is somewhat wicked

This has left me feeling perplexed. Can it be that this chubby fellow cannot see the green aura in the flower screen? But that makes no sense; I can see it, so how could this special individual not? Could it be that I was pricked by the small wooden sword, and this damned ability is even stronger than that of the chubby Wang Dayi?

So I immediately said, "Madam, I apologize, he is new and does not understand. Please do not take offense."
