Chapter 24 - Iron abacus

The door was pushed open and a tall man walked in.

"What are you doing?" The man looked at Ji Yayun in my embrace and asked coldly.

Ji Yayun suddenly turned her head, "Fang Gang?!"

The man's expression immediately became gentle. "Ya Yun, you're here."

Ji Yayun glanced at me, "Fang Gang, you..."

She must have wanted to ask about the photo, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

I have also recognized that this man is the male lead of the wedding photo, Ling Hong's husband.

"Was it you who locked the door?" I stared into Fang Gang's eyes, trying to discern something.

Fang Gang merely gave me a glare, and when he looked at Ji Yayun, his eyes were once again filled with a gentle smile. "Ya Yun, who is he?"

"My friend."

Ji Yayun turned around and said to me: "I'm not feeling well, let's go."

Perhaps it was because Fang Gang was very familiar with him, he did not ask why he was here.

However, when he reached the second floor, he suddenly asked in an expectant and ambiguous tone, "Yayun, when are you going to come find me again?"

Ji Yayun and I turned our heads around, and I was instantly stunned.

Unexpectedly, Fang Gang had already walked in front of the set of the noble's living room and sat upright on the sofa. He turned his face and looked at Ji Yayun with a smile.

I finally remembered the strange feeling I had on the second floor. It seemed that at that time, besides Ji Yayun and I, there were other people on the second floor!

The more I thought about it, the more my heart jumped. I didn't dare to stay in this Shadow Tower any longer as I pulled Ji Yayun and ran out.

Along the way to her and Sang Lan's house, I first comforted her with a few words. Seeing that there were no results and seeing that the room was a mess, I helped to tidy it up.

"Xu Huo."

Ji Yayun called out to me, and pointed to the kraft paper bag that contained the photo: "That really isn't me."

It's all right not to hear it, she said, and I thought of the picture again.

Looking at her mature and perky body, her blank and absent-minded expression, I suddenly felt my body heating up.

There were at least two different photos in the bag, and now she and I were alone, as if I had a way of doing something with her, no matter what the story behind the picture was.

Very quickly, I started to blame myself for my dirty thoughts.

If I had really done anything to her while she was still alive, I would be even more useless than Wandering Dragon or Yun Qing.

I walked over and stuffed the paper bag into my bag. "I'm sure that wasn't you."

"The one in the pond …"

"Do you need me to tell you what it is? At the very least, it is a female ghost as beautiful as you. "

Ji Yayun's face slightly flushed, and her tensed state of mind finally eased up a bit. However, she continued, "The person in the picture isn't me, it's …"

I interrupted her. "What's the use of thinking so much if even I can't figure it out?"

I secretly sighed. This was the truth.

I called for takeout, and after we finished eating, I said I was going out and would let her sleep for a while.

I went back to my room and told Old Army that I might not have time to shift shifts with him these few days, and then went to check on my car.

That day, he returned as if he was fleeing for his life from Qi Tian County, but he didn't pay much attention to it after that.

Looking at it now, the whole car was dark and full of potholes. Due to the impact, the battery line had loosened.

"I believe in your evil!"

I cursed as I hooked up the battery.

After connecting the line, I drove to Sun Mansion. Other than the black dog blood that Sun Lu had prepared for me, I caught two roosters from his house, then went to the pond and broke a bunch of reed poles.

After returning to the city, I bought some necessary things from a shop that sold candles and elemental treasures, then I called Sang Lan and asked if she had gone back.

She said that she hadn't yet. She wanted to stay with her classmates for a while longer.

I said yes, and went home early.

Just as he hung up, Blind Liu called.

"Hey, Xu Huo Calamity, one of your colleagues came to our place yesterday, I think you should go and meet him."

"Who is it? Do I know him? "

"Duan Chengfeng."

Hearing that, I frowned: "Duan Chengfeng is famous in the circle for wanting money at all costs, does he really have that kind of ability?"

"Hey, brother, do you think you have any other way besides finding help? If you really have the ability, then you'll only know after meeting and chatting. "

I chuckled dryly. "Alright, I'm not paying anyway." Where is he now? "

Blind Liu gave me the address of a five-star hotel and gave me a cell phone number.

After hanging up, I drove directly to the hotel.

After parking the car, I called the number given to me by Blind Liu.

When the call connected, I politely greeted Master Duan. It was Feng Shuiliu who introduced me to you.

The man asked in a neutral tone, "Have you arrived?"

"We're here."

"Come to the coffee shop on the second floor."

When I entered the coffee shop on the second floor, I was stunned.

In a booth near the window, two men and a woman were talking.

One of the slightly fat middle-aged men was actually Lin Hansheng, and the young lady was actually Sang Lan!

"Here!" A man at their table beckoned to me.

Seeing me walk over, Sang Lan actually stood up, and said with a flushed face: "Xu Huo, why are you here?"

I looked at her fixedly for a while. A feeling of being cheated and humiliated violently assaulted my heart.

What do you mean by look for a sick teacher? It seems like I have arranged for Lin Hansheng to look for someone else.

If you don't believe me, I don't care, and I didn't stop you. I even reminded you to find a true expert, but what the f * ck are you lying to me about!

I wanted to turn around and leave, but thinking about how Ji Yayun was so scared that she was about to go crazy, I suppressed my anger and didn't leave.

"Xu Huo?" the man who greeted me earlier asked.

"I am, you are Senior Duan?" I looked at him closely. He was about forty years old, with narrow eyes and a medium build, and at first glance he looked like the head of the department in charge of the first-line management of a factory.

Duan Chengfeng nodded his head, "Senior cannot be considered to be a friend, sit."

I put my bag down and sat on the couch.

A waiter came over and looked at the gauze over my head. He asked carefully, "Sir, may I ask what you would like to drink?"

"Give me a glass of ice water, thank you."

"Sure, please wait a moment."

The waiter quickly brought me a glass of ice water. I drank half of it in one gulp and didn't know what to say. Sang Lan's lies made me feel like I was a f * * king joke.

Duan Chengfeng studied me for a while, then nodded his head and said: "I have heard of you before, haha, I thought you were a scammer, I didn't think that you would actually be a friend. Sorry, don't mind me. I know you have a rule, and that is to take only women's business. It's hard not to get carried away, isn't it? "

I smiled. "I understand. I've only come to see senior to give it a try."

Duan Chengfeng nodded his head: "Since you are from the inner circle, you should know my rules. I can't not give face to Feng Shui Liu, this is good, I will first give you a divination, calculate the year of travel. I'll give you a double discount, twenty-five thousand. "

"Fellow Daoist, why aren't you asking me why I'm looking for you?" Although I already knew that Duan Chengfeng was nicknamed 'asking for money', I was still shocked by the price.

Duan Chengfeng smiled faintly:

"You know my nickname too. Since you already know that I want money even if I die, why would anyone be willing to spend money to find me?" Others will get fifty thousand, but I'll take twenty-five thousand for you. That's already a very good offer. But then, look at your face, you've had a bad luck lately. Money makes people feel good about themselves and money makes people feel good about themselves. If money can be exchanged for a life, do you think 25,000 is cheap? "

"Money can buy one's life..."

I looked him in the eye, but I couldn't tell by the thin line of his eyes whether he was a liar or not.

"I'll help him." Sang Lan suddenly said.

I looked at her and coldly said, "There's no need."

Duan Chengfeng took out a palm-sized abacus from his bag and placed it on the table. He looked at Sang Lan and Lin Hansheng: "What I'm giving him is a friendship price. You guys alone are worth fifty thousand.

"Then I'll be troubling Master Duan." Lin Hansheng immediately took out a bulging paper bag and placed it on the table, pushing it in front of him.

Duan Chengfeng turned his head to look at me. "What about you?"

I scratched my head through the gauze. "If the items are worth it, I will get the blind man to transfer the money to you."

"Alright!" Duan Chengfeng nodded.

Sang Lan looked at me, placed a piece of paper in front of Duan Chengfeng, and said in a low voice: "This is my aunt's and my birthdate."

"No need!"

Duan Chengfeng did not even look at it. Instead, he lowered his eyes and placed one hand under the table while the other quickly fiddled with the abacus.

The abacus was pitch black, and I couldn't tell how special it was. When he started to move it, I noticed that the abacus bead actually made a sound of metal colliding as it slid past.

An iron plan!

"Pah!"

Duan Chengfeng suddenly pressed down on the bead and stared at Sang Lan for a while with his brows furrowed.

"Master, what did you get?" Sang Lan asked carefully.

Duan Chengfeng slowly shook his head: "I am unable to help you deal with your dangers, because someone else has changed your life. If it were not for the help of a noble person, you would already be a dead man by now. "

Lin Hansheng frowned, "Master, you mean to say …."

Duan Chengfeng waved his hand and continued speaking to Sang Lan: "As for that woman called Ji Yayun, she is also near the end of her life. She must have been tricked by someone with an ulterior motive due to her special fate. In a word, a ghost wanted to trade lives with her! I can give her two sentences, but I'm not sure I can guarantee her safety. However... And another fifty thousand. "

Lin Hansheng looked at him with a smile that was not a smile: "Master Duan, it's just two sentences, you might not even be able to protect yourself. Isn't fifty thousand yuan too high?"

Duan Chengfeng said indifferently: "As you wish, I will never force myself to consume it."

Sang Lan looked at me again and bit her lips.

"Alright!"

Duan Chengfeng took out a pen and paper, and quickly wrote two lines of words on the paper. Without waiting for me to see clearly, he roughly rolled up the paper into a ball and waved it in front of Sang Lan: "Keep it properly, only she can look at it.
