I touched my nose awkwardly, watching Wu chase Wu Chengfu around the courtyard.
Who would have thought he would be watching Japanese adult films in broad daylight, with an inflatable friend on the bed? It seemed Wu’s loud shouting had interrupted his fun. The TV hadn't been turned off, and when the door opened, the sound had blared out. It was as awkward as it could get.
I figured Wu Chengfu wished he could die right now. The way he wailed like a hungry wolf showed just how unwilling he was to accept this.
Finally, Fang Huixin spoke up, telling the bodyguards to pull Wu and Wu Chengfu apart. She then glared at me fiercely, "I asked you to find someone, and you found me this?"
I rolled my eyes indignantly, "How was I supposed to know he'd be watching this in broad daylight? If I had known, I..."
"Enough. Stop with the useless talk. You have less than half an hour left of the two hours I gave you. Let me tell you, my patience is limited."
Afterward, she had her little secretary bring her a chair to sit in the courtyard. It looked like she wasn't going to continue with this. I guessed Wu Chengfu’s stunt had given her a bit of a scare.
After Fang Huixin left, Li Rui chuckled and pointed at his watch, "Time is running out. I see you're definitely going to have to eat that pile of excrement. By the way, what flavor do you like? With chocolate? Or some lemon juice, or some other flavor? Think about it and tell me, so I can have someone prepare it for you."
"I hope you’ve chosen your preferred flavor. I’ll be recording the entire thing and posting it online to make you an internet sensation."
Without waiting for his reply, I gave him the middle finger and walked towards the first room on the right.
This time, Wu Chengfu didn't try to stop me. With Wu’s help, they quickly searched all three rooms on the right, even the main house. Every place a person could hide was searched, short of digging three feet into the ground.
The result, as expected, was that no one was found.
Zhang Dabiao also walked in from outside, telling me that the cellar outside had also been searched with no findings, except for some fake goods.
"Brother, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
I frowned and remained silent. Mistaken? That was impossible. As a Yin Gua Master, my sensitivity to obsessions was not something ordinary people possessed. Especially obsessions that I had encountered and that held hostility towards me; once experienced, they were unforgettable unless extinguished.
Just as I passed Wu Chengfu’s house, the obsession that held hostility towards me appeared briefly. Although it was only for a moment, it confirmed for me that the owner of this obsession was Sui Wan'er. This was why I had stopped in front of his house.
Recalling my senses repeatedly, I was certain I wasn't wrong. "Even if she's not here, she must have been here. My feelings won't be wrong."
Hearing me say this, Wu Chengfu became agitated. He clutched his slightly swollen face, which Wu had hit, and glared at me fiercely, "Kid, are you ever going to stop? Because of your damn mouth, look at my face, beaten by my uncle! If it weren't for the twenty thousand yuan, I'd kill you..."
Wu's face turned awkward, and then he glared at Wu Chengfu, "You deserve to be beaten to death." He then looked at me, "Little brother, you're sure you didn't find the wrong place? The house has been searched, the cellar too, and the person wasn't found, not to mention I beat up my nephew. I helped you, so you can't go back on your word about my business."
Zhang Dabiao stood beside me and said, "Brother Wu, that's not right. You didn't say that just now. You said..."
"What did I say? Did you eat the chicken? Did you drink the wine? We're all men, a promise is a promise. You can't go back on your word. You said you were investment representatives, that's why I killed chickens and slaughtered sheep. Now that you've eaten and drunk, you want to renege?"
I looked at Wu in surprise, speechless.
Zhang Dabiao was also rendered speechless by him, because Wu was indeed right. They had drunk the wine and eaten the chicken, so what was wrong?
"I knew why these two kids were so eager to come here. It turns out they were using Ms. Fang's name to scam free food and drinks," Li Jian said sarcastically. "You shouldn't have listened to this kid babbling, Fang. Look, this morning is wasted, and you've lost twenty thousand yuan for nothing."
"It seems I need to make a phone call to prepare a big meal for certain people. I must ensure someone eats their fill and eats well. I'll learn from those online livestreams; this time, it's sure to dominate the headlines. Haha..."
I instinctively looked at Fang Huixin.
Although she didn't speak, her face was grim. I guessed she was contemplating how to deal with me later. She hadn't had her bodyguards throw me out directly, so I figured she wanted an explanation.
Fang Huixin looked at me with a cold face, "Do you have anything else to say? If not, I will personally watch you eat... that thing until you can't eat anymore." It seemed saying "excrement" was difficult for her, as she finally didn't say it.
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Dabiao, with a pained expression, whispered in my ear, "Brother, you've really messed up this time. You're not going to make me suffer with you, are you?"
Seeing Zhang Dabiao's crestfallen face, I felt a desire to tease him. "Brothers share fortunes and face hardships together. You're not going to leave me now, are you?"
Zhang Dabiao's face changed twice. "Am I that kind of person? Through thick and thin, brother will accompany you."
I chuckled and said to Zhang Dabiao, "I don't want to eat it. This thing is for dogs." As I said this, I glanced at Li Rui. "Otherwise, why would he have made this bet with me?"
"Why?"
"The purpose is to be able to eat excrement openly."
My words made Li Rui, who had been laughing heartily, turn ashen as if he had eaten fly droppings. He glared at me fiercely. If looks could kill, I would have died countless times by now.
"Kid, let's see how arrogant you can be. When the time comes and the person isn't found, I'll stuff you to death with excrement."
Facing Li Rui's threat, I completely ignored him. I said to Fang Huixin, "Ms. Fang, please accompany me. We're going to another place; your daughter is there."
Fang Huixin didn't agree immediately. She frowned and looked at me, "Didn't you say this was your daughter's hiding place?"
"That wasn't me who said that. It was that pretty boy above you."
Fang Huixin frowned. After thinking about it, it seemed that was indeed the case. After all, I hadn't called her, and I didn't have her phone number.
"Are you sure this time?"
"Of course..."
Before I could finish, Li Rui interrupted, "Don't waste time here. You've wasted the entire morning like this. Do you know how much money Ms. Fang is losing?"
Li Jian chimed in, "Ms. Fang, this is just a brash kid. If his words were reliable, pigs would be climbing trees."
"Ms. Fang, if you come with me, you'll know the result immediately. If you don't see your daughter this time, you can deal with me however you want. What do you say?"
Fang Huixin's eyes flickered a couple of times. "I hope you're not lying to me this time. My patience is limited."
"Don't worry about that. Someone is already watching her there, and she won't be taken away again." Su Dan Novel Network
Then, the group left Wu Chengfu's house and turned to walk up the slope. After walking for a while, Wu couldn't help but ask, "Why is this the way to my house?"
I smiled and said, "What do you think?"
