first executive

In the early morning, the fog on the mountainside was a bit heavy, and the flowers and plants in front of the villa were covered with dew. It rained lightly at night, and the soil was soft.

The living room was filled with the smell of food, the person lying on the sofa moved, and the glaring light made him frown.

"Are you awake?" A faint voice rang in his ears, revealing concern that couldn't be hidden.

Gu Songyi opened his eyes dimly, his brain was aching from a hangover, he put his arms on his forehead, he was still wearing the shirt from last night, the sleeves were folded between his forearms, the smell of alcohol and smoke passed through the night Time, it became more smelly and disgusting.

His temples were swollen and uncomfortable, and his body was uncomfortable. Although the sofa was soft, it was not a place to sleep.

It took him a while to get used to it before sitting up with his hands propped up. The black-haired young man stood against the light and stood in front of the sofa. He only needed to tilt his head to see that Gu Songyi's heart was full of satisfaction for no reason.

The black-haired young man asked him, "Would you like some breakfast?"

There was a gentle smile on the corner of Gu Songyi's mouth. He didn't know how much sincerity was in it. Over the years, he had long been used to wearing a gentle mask to face others.

His voice is uniquely hoarse when he wakes up in the morning: "Did you do it?"

Bai Zhui glanced at the takeaway he ordered on the dining table, and he had already lost the takeaway box at the moment, and all the tasty and delicious dishes were placed in bowls, and there was still a pot of porridge cooking in the kitchen.

The porridge was cooked by himself.

He was only in a daze for a second, acquiescing to his words.

Gu Songyi felt as if a can of soda had been poured into his heart, and it was overflowing with foam. He said affectionately, "I'll go wash up first."

As for why he slept on the sofa instead of in his bedroom, this question has long been forgotten by Gu Songyi.

He went upstairs, into the bathroom, splashed cold water on his face, Gu Songyi looked at himself in the mirror, and felt an unknown joy in his heart.

The last time I had this feeling was when I met my favorite school belle in middle school.

He looked at the expression of the person in the mirror, and slowly squeezed out the toothpaste, with the certainty in his eyes.He was very sure that he had a crush on Tong Bo, so of course he had to get him, and when he got tired of playing with it, he would throw it away.

Thinking of this, he raised his hand to brush his teeth, his shoulder suddenly felt pain, his hand trembled, and almost loosened the toothbrush in his hand, Gu Songyi took a deep breath, only to realize that his right shoulder was numb with pain.

He had already felt it when he was downstairs, but at that time he thought it was just a stiff neck, but there was never a stiff neck that hurt so much.

Gu Songyi unbuttoned his shirt, and opened it with his left hand. A purple palm print on his shoulder came into view, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his fingertips touched the spot with trembling fingers.

As soon as he touched it, he bit the root of his tooth hard and put his hand down. It was so painful that he almost screamed when he touched it lightly.

He was even more frightened in his heart, and he thought of something again, and when he looked down, his face suddenly turned pale.

The peace talisman is gone.

Bai Zhui sat at the dining table, holding a bowl of hot porridge and coffee in his hand, put it down after two mouthfuls, put his hands on his thighs, and tapped them rhythmically.

There were hurried footsteps on the second floor, and Gu Songyi appeared at the stairs. He grabbed the railing and looked at the sofa first. If the gray sofa landed on it, he could see it at a glance, but he didn't.

His clothes were messy, and he didn't care to button them. Seeing the black-haired young man sitting at the dining table, he felt a chill for a moment.

He was in a daze for a moment, yes, Tong Bo sent him back last night, the seals and safety charms on his shoulders may be his fault, but he is a thin young man, how can he have the strength to put an adult People's shoulders pinched like this...

Gu Songyi's mind was confused, Bai Zhui raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

As soon as the young man raised his head, the coldness was dispelled. Looking at his face, Gu Songyi doubted his judgment again. He tried to find something different from that face, but after looking at it for 2 minutes, there was nothing .

Greeting him normally did not show any signs of being very human. The hangover headache surged up, and Gu Songyi put his hand on his forehead.

Did he think too much?

He asked, "Did you see the peace charm around my neck?"

Two seconds later, he added another sentence: "The last time I asked for a peace talisman for you, I also asked for one for myself, which is the same as yours. Have you seen it?"

The young man shook his head blankly.

Bai Zhui touched his pocket with his hands, and looked up sincerely: "No, did you lose it on the way back yesterday?"

It's not impossible, Gu Songyi raised his hand and touched his right shoulder with a strange expression: "Yesterday - forget it."

He thought for a while, but didn't ask. Looking at the food below, he also felt that he didn't have the same appetite as at the beginning. After breakfast, Gu Songyi dutifully sent Bai Chuan to the school gate.

Gu Songyi pretended to be busy, Bai Chui was not a talkative person, and he didn't say anything along the way.

The Lin family signed a non-disclosure contract with Bai Zhui, and they didn't know that the female ghost was surrendered by Bai Zhui. Lin Luwen went back to school two days later, and told Bai Zhui what happened to the female ghost.

The female ghost's resentment persisted and her sins were serious. When she died, the fetus in her womb was not yet formed. It was refined by her and could not be saved. In case she went out to harm others again, she had already lost her soul.

It took a week for Baizhui to ask Lin Yan to check the things. He didn't send an assistant to send it over, but he went directly to find it.

The two still met at the coffee shop in front of the school, saving unnecessary greetings. Lin Yan handed him a document, and Bai Zhui took it, but he didn't let go.

There were not many people in the coffee shop at the moment, and the waiter brought the coffee. Seeing this scene, he felt a little strange. Feeling that the atmosphere was not right, he lowered his head, put down the coffee and left.

Bai Chui looked at him, let go of his hand, moved the corner of his mouth, and asked, "What does Boss Lin mean?"

Lin Yan didn't take back the document, but put it in the center of the table. He straightened his wrinkled sleeves slowly, and said, "There is one thing, I'm a little curious."

"Really." Bai Zhui said so, without the slightest wave in his eyes.

Every movement of the man sitting opposite seemed to be made according to a measured standard, elegant and noble, like a Persian cat, with a gentle temperament and elegant demeanor, all revealing a good family education.

However, Bai Chuan felt more intuitively that he was different from last time. Lin Yan carried the coercion of a superior person, and also contained aggressiveness. Already defeated.

Lin Yandao: "Tong Bo, I'm actually quite curious about you."

His deep voice is as beautiful as a cello, but the words he speaks are merciless.

"A junior student, as far as I know, you didn't seem to know magic arts before, but after you came out of the hospital, it was like a different person. Why?" He never believed that a person would become So fast.

The current Tong Bo also looks cold, but Lin Yan can tell the difference between the two at a glance. Before entering the hospital, Tong Bo was withdrawn, but after he came out, he didn't care about anything.

Of course, except for Gu Songyi.

Whether it was before going in or after coming out, the young people in front of them all cared about Gu Songyi.

He made no secret that he had investigated Bai Chui, and Bai Chui was not surprised. He leaned back on the sofa and said casually: "Of course it will be different after dying once."

The nature of what he said was vague, Lin Yan thought he was talking about almost dying, and finally regained his life, so it became different.

Bai Zhui's calm demeanor convinced Lin Yan a little bit.

He thought of the information he had investigated, that the young man "resurrected from the dead" in the morgue, it could not be ruled out that his body was possessed by evil spirits, but if the evil spirits possessed it, that body would not last long.

Because the dead body will rot, even if it is supported by the resentment of the evil spirit, it will not last for half a month.

He didn't smell anything else on the young man, the smell could be covered up, but the temperature and pulse couldn't.

When the people he entrusted went to investigate, the hospital still had an impression of the young man. This was too surprising, and it hadn’t been too long. The nurses at that time still remembered that the young man’s pulse was normal, and all the functions of his body were intact. He was very healthy. .

Bai Zhui answered that question, but Lin Yan didn't ask any more questions. He looked at the faint trace of death on the young man's face, put his finger on the cup, and in the blink of an eye, there was no trace of death.

He frowned slightly.

Lin Yan lowered his eyes, blocking the doubt in his eyes, and said in a steady voice: "I don't know if I can ask offensively, why did you ask me to investigate Gu Songyi?"

Bai Chuan's eyes fell on the document, and he said lightly: "You must have read the investigation. Why did I investigate him? This point--it shouldn't be related to Mr. Lin, right?"

What he asked Lin Yan to investigate was the period when Gu Songyi was hospitalized. It was almost a year ago. He was hospitalized during that period. He only said that he was in poor health. Young Master Gu is almost exhausted.

The reason why Bai Zhui asked Lin Yan to investigate was another reason. If the people behind Gu Songyi who helped him were the Lin family, Lin Yan would not fail to recognize him. If he intentionally erased the existence of that person, Bai Zhui would naturally He can't fail to see that when the time comes, he will have to reconsider whether he should approach Lin Yan or not.

Lin Yan's expression didn't change, and Bai Zhui asked, "Can I see it?"

Lin Yan twitched the corner of his mouth: "Please."

Bai Chui didn't mind just looking at it here, he opened the file, and took out a stack of white paper from inside, on which were the people who had contact with Gu Songyi during his hospitalization.

He flipped through the pages, and there were only a dozen or so. In less than 10 minutes, he saw the bottom line. There was no one Bai Chui wanted to see.

He put the paper on the table and smiled politely: "Thank you Mr. Lin, if there is nothing else, I should go."

The coffee cup was placed on the chassis, and there was a crisp sound, Lin Yan opened his mouth to keep someone: "Wait a minute, I have something, I want to talk to you alone."

Bai Zhui looked at him, Lin Yan looked down at his watch and said, "It's time to eat, how about talking while eating?"

As the night darkened, Lin Yan drove to a restaurant, and the car parked in the parking space next to the hotel. Bai Chuan opened the door and got out of the car, and Lin Yan got off from the other side.

He was holding the car key, and a spherical crystal pendant fell from the car key and rolled onto the road. Lin Yan walked over quickly and bent over to pick it up.

Bai Chuiben was waiting for him by the side of the road, when he suddenly saw a car coming in the distance, he opened his mouth and called Lin Yan, the distance was obviously not far, but Lin Yan didn't hear him, standing on the road, his gaze Flashed and ran over quickly.

The car approached Lin Yan without slowing down at all. It was as if he hadn't seen this person. Lin Yan also noticed it. He turned his head and saw that the car was very close.

A force rushed towards him, leading the two of them to roll towards the grass beside the road, and stopped after rolling a few times. Bai Zhuo felt a burning pain from the outside of his arm, and he pushed Lin Yan who was pressing on him.

Lin Yan propped his arms up, "Are you okay?"

Bai Chuan sat up, his clothes were dirty, he asked: "I called you just now, didn't you hear?"

Lin Yan shook his head, and was also very puzzled by this. He should not have felt that the car turned on the high beam. The car seemed to be coming towards him.

"I don't know, I feel like I heard it, but I don't seem to hear it." With his usual vigilance, this kind of thing can't happen.

This thing is weird inside and out.

"Be careful!" Bai Chuan fell down again, a thick tree trunk broke and fell on the spot where they were just now.

Bai Zhui looked at the tree next to him, a hanged ghost was hanging on the tree trunk, patting his chest: "Oh, I was scared to death, I was scared to death."

Lin Yan was only skeptical just now, but now he is convinced, his eyes became more and more familiar, "It's a threat."

"what?"

"Go ahead and talk about it."

There were only two people sitting in the spacious box, and they ordered four dishes. The waiter quickly served them all. They sat on both sides of the table, and Bai Zhui glanced around.

Lin Yan noticed his gaze and asked, "Is there any question?"

Bai Chui: "It's very clean here."

Lin Yan chuckled softly: "The hotel is naturally clean."

This is the property of their Lin family, and it is open to the outside world. Usually, if there is any internal affairs of the Lin family's celestial masters, they are discussed here. It is quiet and confidential.

Seeing that he misunderstood what he meant, Bai Zhui didn't explain it. No matter how clean an ordinary restaurant is, Bai Zhui can still see one or two wandering ghosts. Except for the hanged ghost he saw outside just now, there are no more. Nothing more.

The more remote the place, the more these things should be.

Bai Chuan asked back to the topic that he hadn't finished asking outside just now: "What do you mean by the threat you just mentioned?"

Lin Yan put on disposable gloves and began to peel the shrimp, saying, "I haven't copied some of the things you asked me to check this time."

Bai Chui: "What is it?"

Lin Yan: "Remember what I told you before, the Lin family has been busy recently? It's just for this..."

Two years ago, corpses of inexplicable deaths would appear in the city every once in a while, and the hospital judged them to be sudden deaths. However, some of these people lived a good life on weekdays and went to the hospital for physical examination on time every year. There was no problem.

But on a certain night, his health suddenly failed. A family member invited them over to have a look, and only then did he see the clues. There were traces of ritual rituals done on that person.

This person's death was obviously man-made. After they learned about the situation, they went around and found the person's ex-girlfriend. When they rushed there, the ex-girlfriend died.

The thread of this matter was broken, and then it disappeared.

But the matter was not over. After a while, another corpse appeared again. They suffered from the loss last time, so they acted cautiously this time and started to attack their relatives and friends.

But whenever they found a key person, that person died, like a cat teasing a mouse, the person behind was always in the dark, restraining them, as long as there was a little sign that appeared, he would be snuffed out by him.

They had dealt with the person behind the scenes a few times, and they also found some clues. This person is very good at hiding, and they were only able to deduct some of his figure from the key person.

Just then, the man disappeared.

It's not easy to find a person in the vast crowd. Recently, he has become active again. This is what they are investigating, and Bai Zhui asked him to investigate the people Gu Songyi had contacted during his hospitalization—Gu Songyi had seen that person.

Also because of the investigation of this matter, the man had warned them before, and this time they came back extremely ferocious.

Lin Yan said, "I thought you should be dead."

Because after finding out about that person, he checked some more things, and found that after Gu Songyi returned to school, the most frequent contacts were his juniors whom he hadn't noticed before.

It was out of character for him.

He told Bai Chuan about these things, just wanting to know if he would know something they didn't know.

Bai Zhui silently digested the news, it seems that Gu Songyi is just a pawn of the opponent.

He guessed the purpose of what Lin Yan said to him, weighed it over and over again, and said, "I'm not dead, I should have died."

"It's a pity they didn't succeed." He smiled lightly, dismissed the unimportant matter, and continued, "I can tell you that Gu Songyi is the next key person."

"Oh?" Seeing how sure he was, Lin Yan knew that there was something inside him.

Bai Tui said: "We have a common goal, how about working together again?"

Lin Yan looked at the young man, and chuckled for a while, "Okay."

Bai Zhui told him the name of the container rune, Lin Yan was a little surprised, he didn't expect Bai Chui to know so much, he couldn't help asking: "How do you know?"

Bai Chui made up and said that when he was a child, he met an expert by chance, who said he had the root of wisdom, took him as a disciple, and taught him.

No matter how powerful Lin Yan is, he can't find out such a long-term matter.Lin Yan very much suspected that Bai Zhui had fooled him.

The mark on Gu Songyi's shoulder didn't go away for several days. He was flustered and called the master, but there was no news. Until today, he called the master first as usual.

The phone rang several times, and finally it was no longer a mechanical female voice.

The person over there answered the phone and asked, "What's the matter?"

Gu Songyi: "My body is in trouble again. What's going on? Didn't you say there's no problem?"

The voice over there paused and said, "Impossible."

Gu Songyi was anxious and angry: "How can it be impossible? Five finger prints suddenly appeared on my shoulder, and the safety talisman disappeared for no reason!"

"...Maybe you have messed with something dirty again. I'll show you later. I'm busy right now, so don't call me if you have nothing to do."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone, Gu Songyi said hello a few times angrily, and called again, but no one answered again, he threw the phone on the floor with his hands, twisted his face for a moment, and lay down on the bed.

But at this time, in a small mountain village, on top of a mountain peak, a man in a gray gown was standing on top, the corner of his clothes was being blown by the wind, he had one hand behind his back, looking at everything in front of him, with a smile on his face meaning.

Soon, soon.

Behind him, there was a voice calling: "Master Daoist, it's time to eat!"

Holding a cane in his hand and round glasses on his face, the man walked down the mountain step by step.

Bai Zhui returned to the dormitory, and received a call from Tong Bo's father, Tong Qi.

The content of the phone call is very concise, Tong Pan's birthday will be in two days, the family will hold a coming-of-age ceremony for her, and let him go back.

Tong Bo has lived with his grandparents since he was a child, and Tong Qi made it very subtle when he went back this time. Tong Pan is his half-sister. There are three members of their family, and Tong Bo has always been on the edge.

After his grandma died, his father took him to live there for a period of time, and Tong Bo never went back after he was admitted to university.

During the time of living with them, Tong Bo witnessed with his own eyes how his father is a qualified father. He would smile and praise Tong Pan for being smart, and would bring her a small gift when he came home from a business trip. And Tong Bo is a completely transparent person in that family.

Obviously both are his children, why is there such a big difference.

Tong Bo also complained, but his sadness was never noticed by anyone.

Let him go home this time only because Tong Pan mentioned him a word.

Bai Zhui recalled his memories about Tong Pan. That girl was not a good person. Just mentioning him, his father would not call him home. After all, he was there, and they would only think it was an eyesore.

Let him go back, I'm afraid he has no good intentions.

but……

A smile appeared on Bai Zhui's face, he was really embarrassed, it was not Tong Bo who went back this time, but him.

"Host, Gu Songyi has contacted the person behind him." Ling said, he had listened to Bai Chui these days and was paying attention to the movement there.

Bai Chui: "What did they say?"

Zero said softly: "I can only stare at him, I can't tap his phone, it's against the rules."

Bai Chui: "Understood."

Thinking about it, Zero hasn't popped up much these days, he asked, "Did something happen to you?"

"No, no." Zero stammered.

Bai Chui: "Huh?"

After a while, Lingcai said distressedly: "Sister System has heard that neighbors are coming, and they all come to visit, so, just a little bit busy."

Bai Zhui also heard him mention other systems last time, and he kept some doubts buried in his heart. He asked, "Can we still visit between offices?"

Every time he finished a task, he would start the next task as quickly as possible, and he didn't have time to go out and have a look.

Zero replied: "Yes, it's just that the host's authority is not enough to go out."

Bai Chui: "..."

Tong Pan's birthday is the day after tomorrow, and Bai Zhui went to ask the counselor for leave the next day. His roommate was a little surprised when he saw that he had taken leave. Since the beginning of university, Tong Bo has grown up in the dormitory. There is also a magical feeling.

During this period of time, several people were also able to talk, they were like an old mother watching her child go out, telling him to be careful on the road.
