Power and wealth bring fragrance

"What the hell?"

Zhao Xuan's teeth chattered wildly, making a cracking sound, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Liu Xiangrong's face paled, and her frail body retreated repeatedly, her back pressed tightly against the cold, mottled wall, her eyes filled with utter terror.

The two watched helplessly as Ruan Yi and Ruan Er slumped to the ground not far away, looking utterly disheveled, with blood trickling from their mouths and dust covering their heads, their appearance both pitiful and bizarre.

From beginning to end, the dimly lit room was empty, with no one else in sight. Yet these two tough guys, who came from ruthless backgrounds and had killed countless people, seemed to have suddenly lost their minds and gone mad, throwing punches and kicks out of thin air, fighting each other, and recklessly crashing into the wall, eventually leaving themselves severely injured and in a sorry state.

Such a bizarre phenomenon has long transcended all common sense.

All scientific principles and common sense about combat are rendered useless at this moment, and cannot explain what is happening before our eyes.

In the dark and oppressive cell, deathly silence enveloped the entire space, and an endless chill crept up from the soles of my feet and spread throughout my body.

Zhao Xuan's mind went blank, and his turbulent thoughts finally settled on one absurd yet undeniably true answer—they really had encountered a ghost.

He already had extremely poor mental fortitude and in the past only knew how to bully others by taking advantage of his power. He had never seen such an unbelievable, eerie, and terrifying scene before.

His taut nerves snapped completely, and the fear in his heart overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.

His legs went weak, and he staggered backward, his pupils contracting sharply as he stared intently at the pitch-black darkness ahead. His throat tightened, and his voice trembled, barely audible, as he hissed intermittently, "W-what are you... Don't come any closer! I'm warning you, watch out, watch out for me..."

His words were fragmented and utterly intimidating, leaving only utter panic and cowardice.

Before the words were even finished, a sudden gust of cold wind swept through the enclosed room!

A sudden gust of cold wind swept in, chilling and biting, unlike any ordinary night wind. Instead, it carried a bone-chilling cold that pierced Zhao Xuan's very bones, striking him precisely.

The indoor light suddenly dimmed, and a blinding scarlet light flashed abruptly, exploding in the pitch-black vision.

A terrifying ghost face with a blue and red complexion and ferocious fangs suddenly appeared before Zhao Xuan's eyes!

Its eyes were blood-red, its fangs were white and sharp, covered with mottled bloodstains, and its ferocious mouth suddenly opened, accompanied by a foul and cold wind, and roared at Zhao Xuan!

"ah!!!"

Extreme fear instantly shattered all of Zhao Xuan's defenses, and a high-pitched, shrill scream tore through the deathly silence of the cell.

His eyes suddenly rolled back, his pupils became completely dilated, and he seemed to have all his strength drained away. He fell straight backward and crashed heavily to the ground.

The warm liquid instantly soaked through his crotch, leaving a wet patch on the ground.

This guy was so scared he peed himself!

A strong, pungent, fishy smell slowly permeated the cramped room, mingling with the chilly atmosphere in the air, making it even more suffocating.

Liu Xiangrong huddled tightly in the corner, her slender hands covering her mouth, desperately suppressing the sobs that threatened to escape her throat, not daring to make a sound.

Her beautiful eyes were already brimming with tears, which streamed down her pale cheeks, her heart filled with extreme fear.

She saw it clearly: Zhao Xuan had just given a stern warning to the air, but the next second he seemed to have suffered extreme fright, his whole body trembled violently, and then he screamed and fainted to the ground.

The whole thing was extremely bizarre, exactly like the possessed state of Ruan Yi and Ruan Er just now.

One bizarre and strange event after another occurred, and layers upon layers of fear made it hard to breathe.

Even though Liu Xiangrong was far more resilient and composed than ordinary people, she was on the verge of collapse at this moment, and the last bit of rationality in her heart was completely shaken.

Do ghosts and demons really exist in this world?

Just as she was trembling with fear and on the verge of despair, the cold evening wind swept in again, gently brushing her cheeks, the icy touch making her stiffen.

First Ruan Yi and Ruan Er lost control and were seriously injured, then Zhao Xuan was so frightened that he fainted and lost control of his bladder. Evil spirits kept causing trouble, and finally it was his turn.

After the extreme fear subsided, Liu Xiangrong felt a sense of relief, as if she had given up all hope.

Fine, there's no way to hide anyway, might as well end it all quickly.

She slowly closed her eyes, her thin eyelashes trembling violently, calmly accepting the unknown ending that was about to come.

A jumble of past events flashed through her mind, but ultimately, a tall, upright figure was firmly etched in her heart.

It is Wei Yuan.

A sense of regret and resentment suddenly welled up in Liu Xiangrong's heart.

Unfortunately, in the end, I was never able to see him again.

A cold wind swept across my face again. This time, amidst the biting chill, a familiar, clean, and refreshing masculine scent quietly mingled in, dispelling most of the surrounding coldness.

Immediately afterwards, a deep voice, tinged with a hint of mockery and doubt, gently sounded in her ear: "Why are you closing your eyes?"

"Did you guess I was coming and do this on purpose?"

boom!

At that moment, it was as if a thunderclap exploded in Liu Xiangrong's mind, and all her fear, despair, and confusion vanished.

She suddenly opened her teary eyes and was met with Wei Yuan's familiar, handsome face.

He was leaning slightly forward, a faint wicked smile in his eyes, his posture upright and his breathing steady, like a ray of light breaking through the darkness in this gloomy and terrifying prison cell.

In an instant, all the fear, grievances, and helplessness that had been building up in her heart collapsed, and the surging emotions, like a flood breaking through a dam, completely swept over her mind and body.

Liu Xiangrong could no longer care about being reserved. She suddenly stood up and threw herself into Wei Yuan's arms. Her burning cheeks were pressed tightly against his strong and warm chest as she greedily inhaled the familiar scent that made her feel so safe and secure.

She gripped his clothes tightly, her lips pressed together, and wept silently, her shoulders trembling violently, releasing all the fear and helplessness she had just felt.

Wei Yuan stretched out his long arms and pulled her tightly into his embrace. He could clearly feel the slight trembling of the delicate body in his arms. He gently patted her back with his palm and spoke in a gentle tone, as if he were comforting a frightened child.

"Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore. I'm here. It's all right now."

Liu Xiangrong buried her face in his chest and cried for a long time, until she had soaked Wei Yuan's clothes with her sobs, before her turbulent emotions gradually subsided.

Her makeup ruined from crying, her face pressed tightly against Wei Yuan's chest. Her thick nasal voice, tinged with lingering grievance, mumbled, "Why did you take so long to come... You scared me to death."

Wei Yuan stroked her soft, long hair with his fingertips and chuckled softly.

"I arrived a while ago. I was only delayed a little by dealing with these few overconfident good-for-nothings."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiangrong trembled.

She looked up abruptly, her tear-filled eyes filled with utter shock. She stared at him blankly, her voice rising involuntarily.

"You were responsible for the strange behavior of Ruan Yi, Ruan Er, and Zhao Xuan just now? How did you manage to do that?"

Meeting Liu Xiangrong's shocked gaze, Wei Yuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows with a hint of smugness.

That strange situation just now was, of course, his doing.

It's true that there are martial arts masters in this world, but there aren't that many supernatural beings; it's just Wei Yuan's method.

After leaving the private room quietly, Wei Yuan arrived at Liu Xiangrong's room and promptly disabled all the surveillance cameras in the vicinity to prevent any evidence from being left behind.

The so-called strange wind was also his doing, just to attract the attention of Ruan Yi and Ruan Er.

The instant their attention was diverted, Wei Yuan had already silently pierced their foreheads with the finest silver needles he carried with him using a flying needle technique.

The acupoint between the eyebrows is closely connected to the Xuanpin Gate.

The so-called "Gate of the Mysterious Female" is the root of Heaven and Earth, which is continuous and inexhaustible.

Of course, this is a saying from Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching. In a more scientific sense, this is actually the pineal gland, the central nervous system of the entire human body.

A flying needle piercing this spot, coupled with a little martial arts interference, would be enough to create a truly realistic illusion for Ruan Yi and Ruan Er, making them deeply immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves.

Zhao Xuan was in the same boat. He was most afraid of ghosts. When he fell into a hallucination, he naturally saw real ghosts and was so frightened that he fainted.

It sounds like a fantasy, but for Wei Yuan, who is proficient in medicine and can bring the dead back to life with ease, this is just routine.

Wei Yuan gave Liu Xiangrong a brief explanation.

However, his few words overturned all of Liu Xiangrong's understanding, leaving her completely shocked and with goosebumps.

She never imagined that such incredible things could exist in this world.

What shocked, surprised, and stunned her so much that she was almost speechless. It was as if it were a legend, and all of these things were done by Wei Yuan!

She knew that Wei Yuan was very skilled at gambling on stones and had a sharp eye for them.

However, she had no idea that Wei Yuan possessed such remarkable medical skills and acupuncture expertise.

It's unbelievable that with just a little trick, Zhao Xuan, who had meticulously plotted to frame her, was brought down on the spot.

Just how many things is this man still hiding from her?

Liu Xiangrong stared intently at Wei Yuan, a thousand emotions surging within her, and she could no longer suppress the throbbing in her heart.

She suddenly grabbed Wei Yuan's head and kissed him deeply and forcefully.

At the same time, his other free hand skillfully unbuckled the belt.

Wei Yuan's somewhat muffled voice rang out.

"Hey, don't move... Holy crap, this isn't the place..."

"There's no time... Oh no..."

Liu Xiangrong's somewhat indistinct voice also rang out.

"Stop talking nonsense...hurry up..."

……

After a long while, the wind stopped and the rain ceased.

Wei Yuan tidied up his somewhat disheveled clothes and glared fiercely at Liu Xiangrong.

"Look what you've done!"

"That's incredibly bold!"

Although Ruan Yi and Ruan Er were both knocked unconscious, and Zhao Xuan was also frightened into unconsciousness, they wouldn't hear anything.

But Liu Xiangrong is being too bold.

However, with nowhere to release her overwhelming excitement, Liu Xiangrong, feeling a surge of emotion, did just that.

Having vented her excess emotions, Liu Xiangrong had calmed down. Listening to Wei Yuan's complaints, she playfully stuck out her tongue and felt a little embarrassed.

But that's just the kind of woman she is. She was so bold as to act recklessly with Wei Yuan in the mourning hall that she didn't care about the situation now.

But after the initial excitement, worries resurfaced.

Liu Xiangrong hugged Wei Yuan and spoke with concern.

"How did you get in?"

"Were you also arrested by them?"

"What should we do now?"

No need for further words. Liu Xiangrong believed that with Wei Yuan's intelligence and wit, he could already understand that she must have been framed, otherwise Zhao Xuan wouldn't be here.

The problem now is that Zhao Xuan, Ruan Yi, and Ruan Er have already been dealt with by Wei Yuan, but how do we clean up the mess?

The night will eventually pass, and Zhao Xuan and the others will eventually wake up.

The tax investigation committee can't remain unattended forever; after a long period of silence, they will definitely send someone to investigate.

What will we do then?

Wei Yuan patted Liu Xiangrong's plump buttocks, his face calm.

He dared to make a move, so he must have already planned his escape route.

"I've arranged for someone to meet you. You can leave now."

"Their main target is you; Zhao Xuan is just an appetizer."

"If they find out that Zhao Xuan didn't succeed tonight, they will definitely use even more ruthless methods to deal with you, and you won't be able to withstand it."

"Perfect timing, you can take advantage of tonight's commotion to leave, and no one can find fault with it."

"After all, they've seen ghosts, so it's normal for them to lose face."

"Then it will be their turn to sit on the wax."

As Wei Yuan spoke, Liu Xiangrong's thoughts were instantly opened up by him.

Even without Wei Yuan saying anything, Liu Xiangrong had already anticipated what would happen next.

No matter how powerful the person behind the scenes is, Liu Xiangrong is not an unknown person.

She can be arrested and investigated for committing a crime, but it is absolutely impossible to let her disappear without a trace.

If a person can't be found, then the person who ordered her arrest is in a real predicament.

Once the matter is exposed, the other party will be put in a passive position.

This gives them a chance to turn the tide.

Having figured out the key points, Liu Xiangrong couldn't help but hug Wei Yuan and kiss him again, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

"You're too smart."

"Did you plan to do this all along, which is why you arranged for someone to pick me up beforehand?"

Wei Yuan smiled but didn't say anything more.

Time is running out; almost ten minutes have passed since Zhao Xuan and the others came in.

If there's no response after a long time, then someone will likely come in.

Wei Yuan picked up Liu Xiangrong, left the private room, pushed open the door to the corridor, and glanced at the camera on the ceiling.

As expected, the cameras here were also turned off to facilitate Zhao Xuan and his group's actions.

Wei Yuan carried Liu Xiangrong, pushed open the door and went out. Instead of taking the stairs, he opened the window and looked down.

Yes, nineteen stories, nearly sixty meters high.

Wei Yuan nodded and said to Liu Xiangrong.

"Close your eyes."

Seeing Wei Yuan's actions, Liu Xiangrong guessed what he was going to do. She stared in shock, her face full of disbelief.

"Hey, are you kidding me? This is the nineteenth floor!"

Wei Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Just tell me, do you believe me or not?"

Liu Xiangrong pursed her red lips, glanced at the dark night outside the window, stomped her foot angrily, and closed her eyes as if she had given up.

Fine, so be it!

Anyway, if we die together with this guy, we can be a pair of ghost lovers!
