Top-notch Urban Evil Cultivator

Lin Xuan waved his hand, becoming more serious:

"Stop joking around. We need to find a way to investigate this matter thoroughly. Someone used evil magic to set up a trap, and the methods were very sophisticated, without even a single clue."

He walked over to An Lan, sat down, and continued speaking:

"The biggest problem is that we can't even be sure who did it."

An Lan took a sip of water, regaining a semblance of calm: "So all we can do is... wait. The person behind this has put in so much effort; they won't give up."

"And... there might be other methods like that."

"There's...there's more..." An Lan's voice trembled slightly again.

She would rather face a hundred formidable business rivals!

I don't want to see these weird things anymore.

"The other party is ruthless. Who have you offended recently?"

"Wang Haishan?" That was the first person An Lan thought of.

After all, it was because he drugged her that she and Lin Xuan had that accident.

And the timing was perfect.

He is the prime suspect.

Lin Xuan thought for a moment, then shook his head: "It doesn't seem like it. If it really was him, then the dinner last time wouldn't have been just about framing me. On the contrary, I think..."

He paused for a moment, then said, "It might be Chen Mo."

Last time it was the Peach Blossom Curse, this time it's the Yin Sha Attraction...

An Lan thought for a moment and nodded.

She now knew what Chen Mo had done, and her disgust for him only intensified.

"But now that he's under house arrest by the Chen family, it's difficult for us to find out anything."

"We can only wait. I think they'll make another move soon."

The two chatted for a while, and it was already past three in the afternoon.

"Mr. An, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now. Please increase security recently. You don't need to give me bodyguards; I can protect myself."

With that, he turned to leave.

"that..."

An Lan suddenly spoke.

Lin Xuan turned around: "Hmm?"

She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but didn't know how to start.

After a while, her eyes lit up: "You're writing a self-criticism!!"

Lin Xuan: ......

After a two-second silence, he confessed truthfully: "I didn't write it."

"very good!"

An Lan blurted out, her tone surprisingly carrying a hint of...happiness?

Lin Xuan: ?

An Lan realized she had made a mistake and quickly put on a stern face: "What I mean is, it has to be handed in to me today. Write it right here! You're not allowed to leave until you've finished!"

As she spoke, she pointed to the spot in front of her.

They have paper money there.

Lin Xuan said with a pained expression, "President An, this..."

"You don't want the bonus from the eco-park project?" An Lan raised an eyebrow.

"I'll write it!" Lin Xuan immediately surrendered.

Who can turn down money?

He walked dejectedly to the sofa, sat down, picked up a pen and paper, and began to rack his brains.

An Lan then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Are you going to leave her here all by herself now?

impossible!

She picked up the documents again and began to approve them.

But his gaze kept drifting forward unconsciously, and seeing him scratching his head, the corners of his mouth would twitch up involuntarily.

.

At 6:30 p.m., the sky outside the window had already darkened.

Lin Xuan put down his pen and stretched his aching wrist. An Lan across from him was still intently looking at the documents.

"Mr. An, isn't it time to go home?"

An Lan didn't even look up: "Finished writing the self-criticism?"

"Not yet... We can continue tomorrow!" Lin Xuan said helplessly.

"Then let's continue." An Lan's tone left no room for argument.

Lin Xuan sighed and picked up his pen again.

I had just written two lines when there was a gentle knock on the office door.

"Enter."

Zhou Yu walked in carrying two exquisite meals.

She was quite surprised to see Lin Xuan sitting opposite An Lan.

This Brother Lin actually stayed here for a whole afternoon? That's extremely rare.

She placed the meal on the coffee table on the other side and said softly, "Ms. An, your dinner has arrived."

"Hmm." An Lan finally raised her head and rubbed her temples.

Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and asked, "President An, about what happened this afternoon... should we call the police? Was it a prank?"

She didn't suspect any evil magic at all; she just felt that someone had used technical means to tamper with the surveillance footage.

"No need, this matter doesn't need to be spread." An Lan's voice was calm.

"Understood!" Zhou Yu nodded and then walked out.

After the door closed, Lin Xuan quickly put down his pen and ran to the sofa.

"Mr. An, is it alright to eat now? I'm starving!" he asked as he opened the lunchbox, which contained four exquisite dishes and a soup.

An Lan also came over and sat down opposite him.

Lin Xuan ate heartily, showing off his rice, while An Lan ate her vegetables with elegance.

"Mr. An, can we leave after we finish eating?"

Do you want to know how much the bonus is for the eco-park?

"I feel that the previous version of the self-criticism was not profound enough and needs to be revised."

"Um."

Lin Xuan immediately shut up and didn't say another word.

At 8:30 p.m., An Lan finally stopped working.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xuan promptly handed over his meticulously written self-criticism: "President An, I've finished the self-criticism. Please take a look. Can you let me go now?"

An Lan took it, read it carefully, and found it to be quite insightful.

She nodded.

"Then I...?"

"Wait a moment."

Lin Xuan was about to leave when he was interrupted.

She looked out the window; it was pitch black. The image of the writhing wooden carving came to mind again, and her hand under the desk clenched unconsciously.

"Don't leave."

"Huh? Mr. An, aren't you depriving me of my personal freedom? It's almost nine o'clock!"

An Lan opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

The two of them just stared at each other.

After a long pause, An Lan spoke again: "Come to my house tonight."

Lin Xuan was shocked: "Huh? Boss, I perform, I don't sell my body!"

"Shut up! Go check my house...whether it's there or not..." An Lan's voice trailed off.

Lin Xuan understood instantly.

Hi!

Still scared!

"Hey, boss, just tell me! Got it, okay, I'll come to your house and take a look. I guarantee there are no demons or evil spirits there!" Lin Xuan patted his chest.

He had an expression that said, "I'll take care of this."

An Lan nodded, secretly relieved.

The two left the office and went to the underground parking lot, where Lin Xuan acted as the driver.

"Mr. An, where do you live?"

"The residential complex across the street, Anjiayuan."

"Oh? You live in company-provided housing?"

Lin Xuan was somewhat surprised that the company's top boss didn't live in those upscale residential areas but instead stayed in the company's welfare housing.

"It's close to the company, which is convenient."

Lin Xuan didn't ask any more questions and focused on driving.

Ten minutes later, the car drove into the underground parking garage of Anjiayuan.

At this time, the garage was quiet, and Lin Xuan had just parked the car.

Suddenly, he frowned.

"Don't get out of the car."

"What's wrong?" An Lan asked, puzzled.

"Lock the car doors. If you get a chance, drive off immediately."

Lin Xuan said as he got out of the car.

An Lan's face paled: "You..."

The next second, she saw more than a dozen cars blocking all the intersections in front and behind, and dozens of people got out.

Two of them were tall and wore black coats, but their eyes appeared somewhat red in the dim light.
