I must be seeing a ghost!
It wasn't until that man surnamed Si grabbed me by the neck and lifted me up that I realized the young boy I saw in the evening wasn't human!
No wonder he never did anything himself!
Even when it came to getting the bank card and access card under the carpet, he just ordered me to do it.
I originally thought his behavior was just a quirk of a rich young master. Who would have thought he was a wandering soul and couldn't touch anything!
This little scoundrel! He actually managed to deceive me, an old hand in this field!
I was so angry that I could have gnashed my teeth, but I still had to keep explaining, "I... I have the ability to see yin and yang, which allows me to see things ordinary people can't... Mr. Si, right? Please listen to my explanation. I really..."
"Oh?!"
The man tightened his grip on my neck. His handsome face looked eerie in the flickering light of the corridor. He slowly leaned in closer and said, "So you're a 'master'?"
I was taken aback. The term "master" was an old - fashioned honorific for fortune - tellers. These days, people usually called people like us "gurus"! Feng Shui and metaphysics gurus!
However, since he was willing to talk, I decided not to quibble about the title.
"Yes, your son said you were haunted by evil spirits and asked me to come..."
I couldn't finish the rest of my sentence because that "bastard man" had kissed me again!
"Um..."
The suffocating feeling on my neck and the pain on my lips instantly made me feel like I was on the verge of death.
The taste of blood in my mouth grew stronger. The hand that had been holding my neck now wrapped around my waist. He turned around with me in his arms?!
Was he taking me back to the bedroom?!
When I sensed his intention, my face turned deathly pale, and I felt like my blood had frozen!
What did this lecherous man want to do?!
I pounded on his chest desperately, but his muscles were as hard as iron. My hands were sore from the impact, but his iron - like grip on me didn't budge!
The long corridor was just a few steps for him. He dragged me back into the room while kissing and biting me.
The pale woman was still in the position where she had been pushed down. Her outstretched arm had stiffened into a twisted shape.
I was thrown next to her, and that bastard man started to tear at my clothes.
"You... you've been drugged!"
I struggled and tried to push away his grasping hands. Suddenly, I remembered his words. There was a guy named Wei Wenzhao who had framed him!
The woman beside me must be the one Wei Wenzhao had sent to drug him.
Judging from her current miserable state, it seemed she had only managed to drug him but hadn't had the chance to get into bed before the man had dealt with her.
At this moment, I had been deceived into this place by that little wandering soul. It was only natural for the man to mistake me for Wei Wenzhao's accomplice!
I didn't know what drug he had been given, but I could feel his burning heat even through my clothes.
"Control your animal desires! You're a respectable man! Don't..."
I still tried to use words to arouse a bit of his rationality, but the sound of my sports vest being torn interrupted my rambling.
"Um!!"
Before I could cover my body, he bit into my exposed skin.
"Bastard man!"
I was in so much pain and humiliation that tears welled up in my eyes.
The physical gap between men and women was too great. There was no way I could break free from his restraint.
"Let go of me! Let go of me!!"
I desperately pushed against his approaching chest while twisting my head, hoping to find something to knock him out.
Suddenly, a pair of big, black, shiny eyes came into my view.
It was that young boy who had casually given me 300,000 yuan!!
His whole soul was hiding under the mahogany tea table, curled up so small that he looked like a flattened piece of plasticine.
"Si Tong, you little scoundrel! Stop hiding! Explain it to your dad! He's committing a crime, a crime! He'll go to jail!!"
I shouted hysterically at him while desperately tugging at the man's hair with both hands, as if I had grabbed onto the last straw.
Si Tong's big eyes looked at me sympathetically, then at the stiff woman lying on the floor.
"Hurry up!!"
The man was like a crazy wolf. His scorching lips almost made me lose consciousness. I shouted at Si Tong with my last bit of sanity.
The young boy finally crawled out from under the tea table. It seemed he had mustered up enough courage before diving head - first into the body of the woman with bulging eyes.
The woman got up from the ground in a strange and twisted posture, "…BA…"
The sound from her stiff vocal cords was like nails scratching on a frosted glass, making one's skin crawl.
"Look!! Your son is going to explain it to you!!"
I desperately held up the man's chiseled chin, and he finally looked up.
On the ceiling of the bedroom's living room, there was a twelve - headed swan crystal chandelier. The warm yellow light refracted through countless pigeon - egg - sized crystal balls, creating a dazzling glow.
In this strange and surreal light, the man's face was even more handsome and demonic, like a devil from a legend. His eyes had turned a dark red, almost like glowing charcoal!
"Ah!!"
Amid my scream, the woman in the twisted posture suddenly wrapped her arms around the man's neck.
Taking advantage of the moment when they were entangled, I desperately wriggled out from under the man, grabbed the black card on the ground, and ran towards the door.
"Beep!"
The elevator door opened, and I rushed in.
This VIP elevator had a double - sided passage.
One side faced the lobby of "The Grand Feast", while the other led to an alley at the back door.
There were already a few scoldings at the lobby entrance. It seemed the club's security guards had caught a few paparazzi who were trying to take pictures and were about to take them to the office.
I clutched my sports clothes that had been almost torn to shreds and carefully slipped out through the alley at the back door.
The alley led directly to the parking lot. Beyond the parking lot was the ring - road expressway, which could take me anywhere in Beijing.
My little electric bike was parked in the most inconspicuous corner of the parking lot. Surrounded by a bunch of luxury cars worth tens of millions, it looked so small and helpless.
I got on the bike, twisted the accelerator hard, and fled like a scared rabbit.
The slightly cold night wind gradually blew away the heat on my face and body, and my mind finally calmed down.
That man... He wasn't haunted by evil spirits at all!
He himself was the evil spirit!
The woman was dead, but with my innate ability to see yin and yang, I didn't see her soul at all!
Where had her soul gone?
Could it be that he had devoured it alive?!
...Thinking of "devouring alive", I couldn't help but wipe my mouth.
His teeth had left deep and shallow wounds on my lips. Although the blood had stopped flowing, it still burned!
"This bastard! This scumbag!!"
I almost started crying again.
No one had ever dared to treat me like this... If, if I ever got the chance, I would drive my peach - wood sword hard into his forehead!!
There was no one on the night road. Only the pale yellow street lights were lit one by one.
"Roar!!"
"Roar!!"
A series of arrogant motorcycle roars came from the road behind me, pulling my wandering thoughts back.
There was no need to guess. These noisy sounds were made by those idle Beijing playboys who liked to race their motorcycles on the streets at midnight.
I quickly steered my little electric bike towards the side of the road. The airflow created by those motorcycles traveling at 300 kilometers per hour could easily blow me away.
Sure enough, just as I got onto the slow lane, four or five brightly - painted "Dodge Tomahawks" roared past me...
