Chapter 116 Turning the Tables

Faced with Wen Ning's doubts.

And then there was the increasingly dangerous atmosphere at the scene.

Lin Yue quickly regained her composure.

His lips curled slightly downwards, forcing a smile as he said, "Ningning, are you doubting me?"

What does it mean to turn the tables and blame someone else?

That's called turning the tables!

Upon hearing this, Wen Ning's eyes flickered with a moment of panic.

Lin Yue continued earnestly, "Ningning, you have to believe in my character. I'm not fickle, I'm just kind. Didn't something like this happen just a couple of days ago? Ningning, you have to understand, my heart belongs only to you."

95

He spoke these words without blinking, his face full of tender affection.

Such a burning gaze could melt even a piece of iron.

A gentle night breeze blew by, and the blood-stained skirt swayed in the wind. Wen Ning stood there, at a loss.

His eyes kept darting away.

Yes, he loves me so much that he'd rather die with me.

How could I doubt him?

Lin Yue, who was constantly watching Wen Ning's expression, pressed her advantage by feigning sadness and letting out a heavy sigh.

"well"

Although nothing was said, it seemed as if everything was said.

"It's okay, Ningning, I don't blame you, it's not your fault."

The meaning behind that sentence was clearly to comfort himself.

But Wen Ning didn't feel any better after hearing this; instead, she felt even more upset.

If the fox-woman were nearby at this moment, she would surely be wide-eyed with amazement and shout, "Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!"

Although the guy himself was the first to be suspected.

But after just a few words, Wen Ning began to feel guilty.

What does it mean to turn the tables and blame someone else?

What does it mean to distort the truth?

What does it mean to call a deer a horse?!

This guy's skills as a scumbag are simply unparalleled and have reached the pinnacle.

And what about her best friend?

Although she appears to be an incredibly terrifying demon, she is actually just an innocent and naive little girl. After hearing these words, she was completely fooled and confused.

After not knowing what to do next.

Wen Ning looked around, and finally made a rather surprising move—she ran away.

The female ghost in the blood-red dress flashed by, her body transforming into a fading blood shadow before disappearing into the night street.

The streetlights next to it kept making a "zzzz" sound because of this eerie fluctuation.

The lights flashed continuously.

Lin Yue stood there, silently wiping the cold sweat from her palms.

call-!

Terrifying!

My buddy thought we were about to crash!

Fortunately, I was quick-witted and resolved the crisis with just a few words.

Lin Yue took deep breaths of the cold air. After her rapid heartbeat subsided a bit, she patted the folder in her hand and continued walking forward.

We quickly returned to the hotel.

He quickly opened the folder that Guan Ziming had given him.

I glanced at it briefly.

It was immediately discovered that this was actually a document that Guan Ziming had privately investigated Humphrey Company.

The above lists a series of special acquisitions that the company has handled over the years.

I had just turned to the third page when I saw the article about the acquisition of Tianxi Textile Factory.

The details of the acquisition agreement, its loopholes, the participants, the time of occurrence, and the course of events are all clearly written down.

......

Guan Ziming even used a red pen to write this summary at the end of the document.

"After the case stalled, a fire broke out immediately, and the fire victims went insane. Later, Li Shuran said that he saw some dirty things at the original factory site (this is questionable). Seven days after the fire, lawyer Li Shuran committed suicide. Three days later, the contract negotiations were completed, but Humphrey did not rebuild the factory afterward, but simply abandoned it on the spot for unknown reasons."

These are all things that Lin Yue already knows.

He quickly turned to the next page.

It was a similar acquisition deal.

However, the relevant experiences differ slightly.

"The development plan for Laoshushan Fishing Village was stalled for nearly three months due to a failure to reach an agreement on relocation compensation. After Humphrey Company intervened, several villagers went missing, and rumors of ghosts appeared in the village, causing widespread panic among the villagers. Under public pressure, the village chief, who had initially strongly opposed the project, finally agreed. However, after relocating the villagers, Humphrey did not proceed with the development as planned, but instead preserved the original appearance of the fishing village. After that, the village chief also disappeared."

This is also something Guan Ziming summarized.

Lin Yue frowned as she looked at it.

I quickly flipped through the pages again.

The following articles, however, are about more typical acquisition cases.

Party A provides the money, Party B provides the land, and both parties have a pleasant time.

After the deal was settled, Humphrey Company proceeded with a series of commercial developments in those areas as usual.

But none of these are what Lin Yue wants.

So he quickly sped up the flipping process.

Sure enough, a dozen pages later, I saw another case that Guan Ziming had marked with a red pen.

"After the Ping An Road redevelopment project began, residents of the area reported cases of child abduction. Although the police solved the case very quickly and arrested the perpetrators, the children could not be recovered. On his first day in detention, the perpetrator committed suicide in the middle of the night in the toilet of his cell. According to his cellmates, his last words were, 'Please, let me go.' After that, people in the area frequently heard the sound of children playing at night. Unable to find the source, residents were afraid of the ghost stories and moved away. The Ping An Road redevelopment project was abandoned by Humphrey Company and was never completed."

Lin Yue's fingers trembled slightly. Suddenly, she felt an unnamed night wind blow across her back, so cold that her pores opened up.

Ping An Road?

Why does this name sound so familiar?

He quickly summoned the system light screen.

Mission: The Secrets of the Past

"Although the strategy has been progressing quite smoothly, there is still a question in your heart that is difficult to resolve. So every time you see Wen Ning's beautiful face, you feel a dull pain. In order to alleviate the pain from the depths of your heart, you decide... you must do something."

"Requirement: Find the eyewitness from back then."

Location: Intersection of Ping'an Road and No. 9 Road

"Reward: RMB 30000, 0.3 Free Attribute Points, Wen Ning's Favorability +10%"

This is Wen Ning's next mission.

The mission location happened to be the intersection of Ping'an Road and No. 9 Road.

Although the Humphrey Company ultimately did not acquire the site, it still triggered a series of bizarre and paranormal events.

What exactly is this damn company?!

There was more than one paranormal event. Could the acquisition of Tianxi Textile Factory be related to them?

It seems that any place they target eventually becomes a haunted place for evil spirits.

What is this?!

A company that manufactures evil spirits?
