Eight hours ago.

A suburban villa in S City.

He Taining, who was in his middle age and had a big belly, finished drinking the sobering tea brought by the nanny and glanced at the time on the wall.

It's almost two o'clock in the afternoon.

I have a drinking party to attend tonight.

I have to go to the company in the afternoon as the shareholders' meeting will be held today.

As the company grew bigger over the years, those old guys who followed him around to take advantage of him became more and more ambitious, trying to climb up the ladder or even replace him.

The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant!

They said that his style of doing things had a negative impact on the group.

Play that fucking bullshit!

These beasts have no idea that without him, the group would never have reached its current position!

After He Taining washed up and packed up, he went to the basement as usual.

Enter a password that only he knows.

As soon as the door opened, a gust of cold wind blew in.

It's even cooler than the one under the Baoshan Plaza garage.

On weekdays, no one except He Taining is allowed to approach the villa, including children in the family.

It’s strange to say, even the most mischievous children would feel an inexplicable fear when they approached here, and would consciously stay away from here.

On the contrary, some mature-looking adults who occasionally pass by here are unconsciously attracted.

However, He Taining, who was over fifty years old, seemed to be unable to feel this cold atmosphere at all.

He walked calmly into the basement.

The light on the ceiling was so dim that even the corners of the basement were difficult to see clearly.

He Taining skillfully walked through the empty basement and came to the innermost wall.

There is a recessed area in the middle of the wall, in which is placed a statue covered with red cloth.

There are two wall lamps hanging next to it. The lamps are in the shape of candles and the lampshades are red.

The light is small and weak, and the faint red light makes the scene even more eerie.

He Taining was not affected by the terrifying atmosphere here at all. He walked to the place where the cushion was placed two meters away from the wall, knelt down, and kowtowed three times devoutly.

In the air that he could not see, a smiling face with red eyes was comfortably breathing in his breath from above his head.

"Murderous intent."

"disgust."

"desire."

"It tastes good today, but it's not evil enough..."

After He Taining knelt down, the desire to eliminate all those who opposed him became stronger.

He turned around impatiently and prepared to walk out of the basement.

He will go to the company right away.

He must kill all those who want to replace him in the group one by one!

Just as he was about to enter the password.

Suddenly there was a "bang" sound behind me.

He Taining was stunned for a moment and looked back in disbelief.

With just one glance, blood instantly flowed from his eyes, nose, lips and ears.

He Taining fell straight down.

In the air, countless black shadows were struggling, roaring, and in pain, running around.

Soon, the black shadow also disappeared.

All that was left was He Taining, whose body was purple and bleeding from all seven orifices, and the statue that was thrown off the wall. The red cloth covering it floated to another place, revealing the true face of the statue, which was exactly the same faceless Buddha in the Baoshan Plaza garage.

At exactly ten o'clock in the evening, He Taining's wife Hu Qianlan returned to the villa, exhausted.

Hu Qianlan, who has always been extremely delicate, now seems to have aged thirty years.

"Where is He Taining?" Hu Qianlan asked loudly as soon as she arrived at the villa.

Some of the company's shareholders and He Taining's assistant came.

The assistant explained: "We were supposed to hold a shareholders' meeting this afternoon, but Mr. He was late and didn't show up. We couldn't get in touch with him. We asked the nanny, and she said she didn't know when Mr. He left. However, all of Mr. He's cars were in the garage, so it didn't look like he left."

Hu Qianlan: "Mrs. Liang, are you sure Mr. He didn't go out today?"

The nanny said, "After I gave Mr. He some hangover soup, I called him to eat later, but he disappeared. I don't know where he went out."

A shareholder stood up and said, "Boss Hu, where is Boss He? Such a big thing happened in Baoshan Square today, and he disappeared at this time. You have to give an explanation, right?"

Hu Qianlan turned around: "Isn't that what I'm asking? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Just check the surveillance. Isn't there surveillance at your gate?"

Assistant He Taining said: "We don't know the surveillance password."

"Come with me to the study." Hu Qianlan called to her assistant.

The others also wanted to follow, but were stopped by Hu Qianlan.

No one had ever seen Hu Qianlan like this, and everyone took a step back for a moment.

The surveillance results came out soon, and it was clear that He Taining had never left the villa from beginning to end.

Then where is he?

Hu Qianlan walked out of the study with her assistant. When they passed the guest bathroom, the mirror on the wall just happened to reflect her current appearance.

Hu Qianlan's casual glance——

"How could this happen?" Hu Qianlan rushed towards the mirror and scratched her face, terrified.

"Who is this?"

"this is not me!"

"How could I be like this?"

Hu Qianlan seemed to be crazy. She was scratching her face hard and then hitting the mirror non-stop.

The assistant was frightened and rushed forward to pull her to prevent her from hurting herself.

After finally pulling Hu Qianlan back to the corridor, she suddenly remembered something and hurried downstairs.

The assistant quickly chased after him.

"It must be there!"

"Damn you He Taining, you dare to do this to me just to get those bitches in!"

Even at this time, Hu Qianlan did not think that something had happened to He Taining.

She had always known that He Taining kept a "little ghost" in the basement. As the group's business had indeed been booming in recent years, she turned a blind eye and pretended not to know about it.

No one except the couple knew what was in the basement.

However, He Taining never allowed her to get close to that place, saying in nice words that he was afraid she would get hurt.

At first Hu Qianlan didn't believe it.

However, whenever she approached that place, she always felt like there was a voice luring her closer, and several times she walked to the door involuntarily.

If he didn't know the password, he would have opened the door and gone down.

Over the years, He Taining has kept more and more women outside, and the relationship between the couple has become increasingly worse.

Therefore, Hu Qianlan concluded that it was He Taining who was causing trouble and deliberately made her like this so that he could bring his lover home.

Jealousy and anger clouded Hu Qianlan's mind, and she didn't notice that when she arrived at the basement door this time, she no longer had the same feeling as before.

"Mother Liang, bring me the axe!"

"Ma'am, don't be impulsive!"

"Bring it quickly!"

Liang Ma couldn't stop Hu Qianlan, and the others were eager to see their family fighting among themselves. Not only did they not stop them, they helped Hu Qianlan instead.

After the axe was obtained, a man stepped forward to help.

A few minutes later, the door lock broke.

The door opened.

Hu Qianlan pressed the light switch after opening the door.

He Taining was lying on the ground with his back facing the entrance. There was not a single intact part of his body, as if he had been cut into pieces before his death.

Someone screamed in fright.

Someone rushed forward to confirm.

Some people couldn't bear it and ran to the side to vomit.

Hu Qianlan supported herself with weak legs and walked towards the basement step by step.

The phone seemed to ring.

Hu Qianlan answered the phone like a zombie.

The daughter's anxious voice came out.

"Mom, my brother took too much drugs and died before he could even be taken to the hospital."

"Mom, save me! The police are here! Come and save me!"

The assistant who followed in suddenly exclaimed: "Why is this thing again?"
