Chapter 508 Why Don't You Just Rob Me?
"Are you fucking crazy?" Huai Yi asked loudly after reacting. "Why don't you just rob someone?"
"Don't talk nonsense," Jiang Cheng said righteously. "Robbing people isn't as profitable as this."
Without any further ado, Huai Yi clenched his fist. In the next second, his left arm swelled up like a balloon, and a dense layer of scales spread out from his neck, covering his left arm.
The scales were light red, reflecting a strange light, and looked incredibly powerful.
He had been so enraged that he was about to show off his ability to scare the other party. If he didn't subdue him now, he might trip him up later, which would be troublesome.
But Jiang Cheng still stared at him with a smile, not intimidated at all.
The moment Huai Yi revealed his door, Jiang Cheng felt the door within him move slightly. Then, a terrifying figure slowly opened its eyes.
It was Wu…
He woke up.
As a host-like entity, he could still sense some of Wu's emotions. When faced with Huai Yi's threat, the door within him… remained almost completely calm.
Since he was the host, Wu would give him some face.
Jiang Cheng thought, gaining confidence.
He even envisioned using Huai Yi as a lead to dig out the people behind him. They must be a group.
If he could catch them all and have them work for him for free…
Huai Yi swallowed nervously. He couldn't understand why he looked so intimidating, yet the other party looked at him as if he were a naked beauty.
To be precise, in Jiang Cheng's eyes, Huai Yi was a cute little money-printing machine.
A legal one.
It seemed he had to give him a taste of his power. Huai Yi walked up menacingly, preparing to use the power of his Qilin Arm to grab him and teach him a lesson.
But as soon as he took the first step, his arm suddenly began to shrink, and the scales covering it began to recede.
The second step…
Before the third step could land, his Qilin Arm was gone.
Not only was the Qilin Arm gone, but he even heard a "bang" in his heart. The thing inside the door that he had just summoned… had slipped away.
Slipping back was one thing, but it also slammed the door shut.
No matter how he summoned it, there was no response.
"What's going on?" Huai Yi panicked. This was the first time something like this had happened since he obtained his door.
The door within him felt something akin to fear.
How could this be?
Even when facing the fierce ghosts in this instance, the thing inside his door had been super brave, okay?
Losing was one thing.
But being scared away?
A moment later, Huai Yi seemed to understand something. The way he looked at Jiang Cheng changed.
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Cheng smiled. "You went soft in less than 3 seconds, not even a tenth of my time."
His gaze shifted away from Jiang Cheng's face, and when he saw the shadow on the wall behind Jiang Cheng, Huai Yi's pupils suddenly constricted.
His shadow… was half again as tall as him!
Like Jiang Cheng, his shadow was also smiling.
Except the size of the grin could bind their heads together and shove them in.
"You… you are…" Huai Yi stammered, his lips trembling.
Jiang Cheng smiled tolerantly, reached out his arm, and draped it over Huai Yi's shoulder. From behind, the two looked extremely close.
"Brother, let's exchange contact information. I'll look for you later, but you must not…" Jiang Cheng smiled, pointed at the shadow behind him, "You must not lie to us."
Soon, Jiang Cheng and Huai Yi reached an agreement.
Huai Yi would take people to the morgue, while Jiang Cheng and Lin Wan'er would go to Zhang Zhaowei's residence to find clues.
"But we don't have any money," Jiang Cheng said to Huai Yi. "It's inconvenient to go out without money."
Huai Yi reluctantly pulled out some money from his pocket and stuffed it into Jiang Cheng's hand. "This is all I have left. It should be enough for a taxi."
Jiang Cheng turned to leave with Lin Wan'er.
"Wait."
Jiang Cheng stopped. It was Wang Changguo who spoke. He scratched his chin awkwardly. "Can I go with you?"
"I promise not to be a burden," Wang Changguo swore. "I just feel like I can survive if I'm with you."
"No." Leaving these words behind, Jiang Cheng left with Lin Wan'er.
However, Wang Changguo's words were indeed unexpected.
"Wang Changguo," Huai Yi said, looking at him with a fake smile after Jiang Cheng and the others left. "Since you're so eager, I happen to have an opening here. You can come with me to the morgue."
The morgue…
Wang Changguo's face was filled with refusal, but when he saw Huai Yi's cold eyes, he swallowed the words back.
Huai Yi had just been extorted by Jiang Cheng and was full of anger. If Wang Changguo dared to say no, he would not hesitate to teach him a lesson.
"What about us?" Cao Yang asked. "Brother Huai Yi, why don't I go down with you? He…" Cao Yang looked at the dejected Wang Changguo, genuinely worried about Huai Yi.
"No need, you guys stay and prepare to respond," Huai Yi said, pressing the elevator button. "I suspect Chief Qi might come. If he does, you must protect his safety."
"But remember, if he really comes, you must distinguish whether he is the real Chief Qi or a ghost in disguise."
After speaking, Huai Yi looked towards the depths of the corridor with some worry. That ghost… had not appeared for a long time. Where had it gone?
Was it lying in ambush in the morgue, or had it left with Jiang Cheng and the others, or was it hiding somewhere, waiting to give them a fatal blow?
But these… were not what Huai Yi was most worried about.
What he was most worried about was that the ghost would go to find Chief Qi.
"Ding."
The elevator arrived at their floor. The elevator door opened, and it was empty.
Huai Yi unceremoniously let Wang Changguo enter first, and then waited for a few seconds before entering himself.
Otherwise, what would he do with Wang Changguo?
The elevator ran smoothly, and everything went well. Standing outside the morgue door, the two stopped and listened for a while. There was no movement, so they went in.
Following Jiang Cheng's previous directions, they quickly found the freezer where Zhang Zhaowei's body was stored.
"Guard behind me," Huai Yi ordered.
Wang Changguo looked very pitiful. He turned on his phone and shone it around, as if a ghost might pounce out of the darkness at any moment and kill him.
After pulling open the freezer, Huai Yi found the mark Yü Yu had mentioned, a very small card that was not very conspicuous.
Even if he had come, he might have overlooked it.
Sure enough, women were more meticulous.
