"Are you talking about the hotel in Shanghai called Anran Grand Hotel?"
"You've been there too? It's that hotel. In that case, you're not a good person either."
"You're wrong. I just stayed there."
Guo Xuyang felt a little guilty saying this.
He had met Xiao Hong and Xiao Yu at that place.
"Haven't you been upstairs?"
Shen Shuping stared intently at Guo Xuyang and asked.
"I have. I can tell you that I've taken over that hotel. The former staff have been sent to Africa to face punishment," Guo Xuyang said.
"I don't believe you. That hotel was opened by Li Mingze's brother. His brother is the head of a major conglomerate, very powerful."
"How do you know so much?"
"Li Mingze told me all this. He originally wanted to assault my sister, but his brother stopped him, saying she had a greater purpose. Later, I found out that this greater purpose was to bribe officials. And when he realized he couldn't have my sister, he tortured me relentlessly. Especially after he knew my sister had died, he went mad and suffocated me with a pillow."
"His brother has truly received his retribution. I wouldn't lie to you. It's not a solution for you to keep following him like this."
"I won't feel at peace until I see him dead. Only then will I leave," Shen Shuping said.
"How did you attach yourself to him?"
"I died suffocated by him and was unwilling to accept it. I don't know where I drifted to. There were seas of blood and mountains of bones, a giant toad, a mermaid, and a huge wind cave. I don't know how I entered the wind cave, and then I returned to the hotel. I saw Li Mingze walking out, followed him into his car, and then followed him."
"Did you talk to anyone there?"
"No. The things in there were too terrifying."
"How did you enter the wind cave? Were you taken in by someone?"
"No. I entered inexplicably, and then I returned."
From Shen Shuping's words, Guo Xuyang surmised that she must have entered the Nine Netherworld and then inexplicably returned to the current world. Could the wind cave be the path to this world? But why couldn't Lü Liang return from there? A soul? Shen Shuping's soul drifted there after being suffocated and then returned to the hotel. But Lü Liang was sucked in with his physical body, so Shen Shuping was a soul while Lü Liang had a body, hence Lü Liang couldn't return through the wind cave. This didn't seem right either. Why was Ye Zi a physical being in that world and a soul in this world?
"What about your body?" Guo Xuyang asked.
"My body was handled by those scoundrels long ago. That's why I can only attach myself to Li Mingze's body. Fortunately, I can attach to him and watch him head towards destruction step by step."
"When were you murdered by him?"
"It's been almost half a year. You still haven't said how you can see me."
"I know Maoshan Daoist arts, that's why I can see you," Guo Xuyang lied.
"The first time you came to this place, I saw you. You came with a fat man then. That fat man is also not a good person. He's also been to the big hotel in Shanghai."
Guo Xuyang hadn't expected Pi Xiaoqian had also been to the Anran Grand Hotel before.
"Did you see that fat man when you attached yourself to Li Mingze?"
"I saw that fat man before I died. Back then, Li Mingze and this fat man often went to the Anran Grand Hotel in Shanghai. They were trading raw jade. Li Mingze was like a lord then, with the fat man serving him diligently. The fat man was often taken advantage of by Li Mingze, a complete fool. Li Mingze played both ends. He told the raw jade sellers he could bring customers to their door, ask the boss to increase the prices, and demanded a kickback. To the fat man, he charged a high appraisal fee. I discovered all this later after attaching myself to Li Mingze. However, after seeing the fat man with you, I never saw them interact with Li Mingze again."
Shen Shuping revealed a lot of information. This Li Mingze had always known Pi Xiaoqian and treated him as a sucker. It was no wonder Pi Xiaoqian looked so incredulous after taking out the raw jade from the safe for appraisal. At that time, he believed Li Mingze implicitly and never thought he would be fooled. After hearing Shen Shuping's account, Guo Xuyang truly realized how despicable Li Mingze was. Like father, like son; like brother, like brother; they were all bad.
"What do you plan to do from now on?" Guo Xuyang asked.
"I won't feel at peace until I witness this scumbag slowly die," Shen Shuping said.
Guo Xuyang understood Shen Shuping's feelings and could do nothing for her, as she was different from Ye Zi.
"Then I wish you good luck," Guo Xuyang didn't know what else to say. "Do not advise kindness without having suffered others' hardships." He felt what he had done was indeed not right, having saved such a scumbag. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda; no matter what, Li Mingze, however bad, was still a life. He had saved him, and that was that. He felt relieved after coming to terms with it.
He had only earned thirty billion today, which was still not enough to max out his ability. He needed to think of more ways. Gold, he remembered the gold he found on the northern mountain later. He had only collected a portion of it then, with much left uncollected. He looked towards the cave he had previously visited. His gaze pierced through layers of tall buildings and houses, and he saw countless boxes neatly arranged inside the cave.
Hmm? There was such a monster? It shouldn't be a creature from this dimension. Guo Xuyang saw a soul of a monster resembling an old ox squatting in the cave, looking solid. The old ox also stared at him with its large ox eyes.
"Who are you?" Guo Xuyang released his senses.
"I am your Grandfather Ox," this ox-like monster actually replied. This left Guo Xuyang speechless. Was he that easy to bully? Guo Xuyang directly attempted to hypnotize the old ox but found that his hypnosis ability had no effect on this monster, making him even more interested.
"Where do you come from?"
"I don't know where I come from either," the old ox replied readily, but it was of no use.
"Why are you hiding here?"
"The smell inside is very suitable for me."
"Smell?" Guo Xuyang was a bit bewildered. What kind of smell could be in this hidden cave? Besides the stench, there were these boxes. No, could this monster have a special sense for gold? If so, he had struck gold. It would be useful when he returned to salvage among the stars. At that time, he only needed to release this old ox, and by following it, he would surely discover treasures. Guo Xuyang couldn't help but rejoice and directly collected the gold in the cave along with the ox-like monster into his mind.
