Chapter 20 The Boss's Shoddy Construction Project
"Since you're so free, come with me." Jian Liang glanced at the two of them with a cool and aloof expression.

This order was clearly directed at Cheng Mai.

A bird and a person, I don't know where all this talk came from.

Cheng Mai instinctively hugged his lunchbox tighter.

"You're not going to kill him to cover it up, are you?" After all, this was a ruthless man who even killed his own wife.

"Killing you is pointless." After saying this, Shang Xingjian turned and left.

Cheng Mai looked to Shen Luo for help.

Shen Luo perfectly upheld the fine bird tradition of each bird flying away when disaster strikes, and looked to the side.

"You're disloyal!" Cheng Mai cursed angrily, stuffing the last bite of rice into his mouth before following after them.

Shen Luo breathed a sigh of relief after everyone left. Loyalty is something humans talk about, not birds.

After getting into the car, the merchant gave the order to go to the old street.

The car headlights flashed, and a deep, resonant voice from Northeast China rang out, "Okay, brother."

Cheng Mai: "!!!"

"What did you do to my car?" Cheng Mai glared at the man sitting next to him.

What kind of twisted sense of humor is this?

"Don't worry, little sister, you can trust me, Old Zhou, to drive. I used to fly fighter jets." Before the unseen driver could finish speaking, the car shot off in a flash.

Cheng Mai grabbed the handrail above him to avoid being thrown off.

"This route isn't suitable for you to drive on." It's really flying too low!

“The old Taoist priest is dead, but the people behind him might send someone to look for you. Zhou Shen was a special forces soldier before he died, and he still has ten years before he is reincarnated. He’s been doing odd jobs during this time and has been following you around,” Shang Xingjian explained.

Cheng Mai's hands, gripping the handle, bulged with veins. He steadied himself and looked at his boss, who sat calmly.

"Don't you think I'm in more danger right now?" Before those people even find her, she'll be on the front page of the news tomorrow.

[The newly appointed chairman of the Cheng Group died in a car accident while speeding in the city!]

Even if she dies, we'll still put her on the pillar of shame!
Merchant Jian glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, "Then consider it as me killing her to silence her."

Cheng Mai remained silent; she knew it!
This scumbag!

Zhou Shen arrived in ten minutes, a journey that usually takes half an hour.

After getting out of the car, Cheng Mai vomited uncontrollably and received several notifications on his phone about points being deducted from his driver's license, leaving him with only one pitiful point on his license.

Cheng Mai took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

She turned around and looked at her still incredibly handsome boss with a smile.

"Starting tomorrow, boss, you'll have to take the subway. I won't be able to drive this car anymore."

"Why?" the big boss asked, annoyed. "What's so great about taking the subway? It's so crowded."

Cheng Mai shoved the demerit point text message in front of Shang Xingjian, "No more points. Or do you think you can find another person with a driver's license in Xuanhe?"

Xuanhe's ID card and driver's license were all specially approved by Shen Luo through connections!
Let's take the subway!
Merchant Jian was somewhat displeased and coldly left behind an order: "You handle it."

Taking the subway is out of the question!
Cheng Mai watched the person turn and enter the underground interrogation room, then kicked his back.

"If your magic power is high enough, you can fly away."

“I can fly, but I’m afraid you can’t keep up,” said Jian Wuqing from the business.

Cheng Mai followed him inside, grumbling and cursing.

"What are you doing here? Who are you interrogating—no, a ghost?"

Perhaps because the ghost employees here have all moved away, the eerie atmosphere in the corridor is not as strong anymore.

The business owner did not respond.

The small basement has been completely transformed into a prison-style building, where some monsters and demons who have committed crimes are temporarily kept.

The simple office that Shang Xingjian used to have was still there. The two walked through the noisy and groaning area and entered Shang Xingjian's office.

However, after entering, Shang Xingjian did not stop, but went straight through the innermost wall. Cheng Mai stopped in front of the wall.

The boss is a bit of a nutcase.

"You've forgotten you're human." A voice suddenly realized.

Cheng Mai's wrist was suddenly grabbed and pulled inside.

In contrast to the dilapidated and dark old basement, just one wall away was an ancient road, like the aurora borealis, but extremely eerie. Not far away was a bridge, and the river under the bridge was bubbling with small purple bubbles.

Occasionally, painful screams could be heard.

Cheng Mai instinctively grabbed Shang Xingjian's arm. "This is... the underworld?"

"Didn't you bring Xiao Wang to ask Yama for people last time?"

"I...I went to the hospital!" Cheng Mai jumped up and down, thinking, "Who in their right mind would go to the underworld to find the King of Hell?"

"You are mine. No one here dares to touch you, not even the King of Hell."

Cheng Mai decided to ignore the matter of who this person was for the time being. Being afraid and daring are two different things!
"King Yama." Shang Xingjian stood still and summoned King Yama.

Seeing that Shang Xingjian showed no intention of going in, Cheng Mai felt relieved.

After all, no living person wants to take a stroll in the underworld.

The King of Hell arrived with his judges and a stack of books of life and death, showing that he knew this "living King of Hell" would come.

"Boss, Mr. Cheng." Yama wiped away non-existent sweat. "Liu Bo's life story is all here. His lifespan should have ended 20 years ago, but for some reason he escaped the underworld officials and was even given a second chance."

The judge said, "Liu Bo has already been interrogated, but before he could descend to the 18th level of hell, his soul dissipated."

"Soul scattered?" Shang Xingjian took the Book of Life and Death, glanced at it briefly, and then tossed it to Cheng Mai.

Cheng Mai hurriedly caught the Book of Life and Death, his heart filled with more than just panic!
This is the legendary Book of Life and Death!

The boss just showed it to me like that?

"Yes, our men just brought him here, and he was scared out of his wits before they could even interrogate him."

"Didn't cross the Bridge of Helplessness?" Crossing the Bridge of Helplessness means passing through one's past life and severing one's present life. If one crosses the Bridge of Helplessness, one will definitely be able to see the people and events that have appeared in one's life.

Judgment's lips twitched, and he said in a low voice, "It was when they crossed the Bridge of Helplessness that their souls were scattered."

Shang Xingjian frowned and looked at the Naihe Bridge not far away. The Naihe Bridge is a place where people's souls are scattered.

Shang Xingjian seemed to be thinking about something, and then he raised his hand and threw Cheng Mai over.

Before Cheng Mai could react, he was thrown into the middle of the Bridge of Helplessness.

King Yama was shocked: "Boss, you absolutely mustn't..."

To the left of Cheng Mai is a revolving lantern of her life, from birth to the present.

The right side, however, is completely empty!

Cheng Mai finally managed to stand up, and his suppressed anger erupted instantly.

"Shang Xingjian, are you out of your mind?" Why can't you just tell her what to do? Why throw her around like that?
What if they throw her into this filthy river?
"Young, young Mr. Cheng, no, no past life?" the judge exclaimed in shock.

The merchant raised his hand and pulled the person back.

Cheng Mai steadied himself again, and this time he roughly understood what had happened.

Amid the judge's shock, Cheng Mai calmly analyzed, "Is it possible that the bridge is broken?"

No past life?
Are you kidding me?

Did Sun Wukong emerge from a crack in a rock?

"Even this technology has bugs, and this bridge looks like a shoddy construction project," Cheng Mai said sarcastically.

King Yama gasped, and the judge quietly took a step back.

"I built this bridge," Jian Youyou from the business guild reminded her.
