Before long, the crowd heard the sounds of commotion from downstairs. Within minutes, Sun Chengbin arrived with the employees who had gone mad.
Although each of the employees behaved differently, their expressions were remarkably similar, as if each had been profoundly frightened.
Seeing their state, Er Zhu became even more certain that they had been afflicted by a magical technique.
"Er Zhu, I… I've brought them all here," Sun Chengbin panted, wiping sweat from his brow as he gestured towards the patients with their strange demeanors.
The sight of the patients filled the other employees with terror. Some of the more timid ones even fled.
"You all can leave now. I'll be fine here by myself," Er Zhu said, waving his hand to dismiss them.
"No, Er Zhu, these people have incredible strength right now. Look, even my more than a hundred bodyguards can barely restrain them," Sun Chengbin said, grabbing Er Zhu’s arm with a worried look. He had invited Er Zhu for help, but he couldn't neglect Er Zhu's safety; he had many future collaborations with him.
"It's alright, I can handle them. Please, go now," Er Zhu smiled slightly and waved his hand again, looking at the frenzied individuals before him.
Seeing Er Zhu's insistence, Sun Chengbin stopped bothering him. The other employees peeked through the doorway, trying to overhear what was happening inside. Er Zhu, meanwhile, untied all the patients.
As soon as they were unbound, the pristine conference room was thrown into chaos! Documents were scattered everywhere, tables and chairs were overturned, and some were even gnawing on table legs!
At that moment, Er Zhu produced a copper coin and murmured something. The coin then emitted a dazzling white spiritual light!
Swish… swish… swish!
The coin flew back and forth between the patients, and wisps of black malevolent energy drifted out from their bodies! The coin rapidly absorbed this energy. In just a minute, everyone returned to normal!
"Huh? Where are we?"
"What happened?"
"Er Zhu, why are you here?"
…
The recovered individuals looked around at their surroundings. They tried their best to recall what had happened, but no matter how hard they tried, nothing came to mind. It was as if it had all been a dream!
"This is a kind of magical technique. The caster applies an enchanted oily substance to your skin, even your forehead and between your brows. Where have you all been recently?" Er Zhu surveyed everyone, his gaze finally settling on Vice President Liu Changshan. Liu Changshan was Liu Changfa's cousin and Er Zhu's closest acquaintance among the patients.
Everyone racked their brains, recounting their recent activities, but Er Zhu couldn't glean much until a single detail caught his attention! Before falling ill, all of them had visited a place called Hong Yan Bar. Therefore, that must be the hiding place of Miao Ying and Feng Ru Lan!
"Jingle bell…"
The urgent ringing of the phone interrupted Er Zhu's thoughts. Upon seeing the caller ID, Er Zhu quickly answered.
"Er Zhu, you have to help me!" Before Er Zhu could speak, Wang Xu's voice came through the phone, sounding as if he were on the verge of tears.
"What's wrong?" Er Zhu asked. Immediately, Wang Xu began to explain. It turned out that recently, there had been a series of mysterious disappearances of young girls. They had been investigating for a long time with no success!
"Wang Xu, I'm not a police officer. You can't expect me to lead a team to catch criminals for you." Er Zhu was somewhat exasperated. He still had Miao Ying's matter to resolve and didn't want to get involved with the police in investigations.
"We're helpless in this matter. The missing girls had all visited Hong Yan Bar before they disappeared. I heard the place is quite strange. Er Zhu, don't you know Feng Shui?" Wang Xu chuckled and added sheepishly. Er Zhu was reluctant at first, but when he heard that Hong Yan Bar was also involved, he agreed. He was going there anyway, so solving a case on the side wouldn't hurt.
"Thank you, Er Zhu. I've already transferred all the Wang family's documents to your name. I'll deliver them to you once this is settled," Wang Xu sighed with relief upon hearing Er Zhu's agreement. He then smacked his forehead, as if remembering something, and added.
"Mm." Er Zhu nodded slightly. Before Wang Xu could finish speaking, he had already hung up the phone.
"Wang Er Zhu, why is there no more commotion? You didn't…?"
"Mr. Sun, they seem to have regained consciousness!"
"My heavens, Mr. Wang, you truly are a Feng Shui master!"
…
As soon as Er Zhu hung up the phone, Cheng Xiao Jiao and the employees of Sun Group, who had been listening at the door, rushed in. Cheng Xiao Jiao had initially feared that Er Zhu had been beaten to death by the patients, but instead, she witnessed this scene! She never imagined that Feng Shui masters truly existed in this world! As for the others, having heard rumors about Er Zhu before, they were not shocked but filled with admiration! Wang Er Zhu was the lucky star of their Sun Group! As long as he was present, all problems could be easily resolved!
The crowd surrounded Er Zhu. Some of the female employees even boldly confessed their admiration.
"Mr. Wang, are you free tonight?"
"Mr. Wang, can you take me as your disciple? I'm very interested in Feng Shui!"
"Mr. Wang, you cracked the Feng Shui formation in one minute! How did you do it?"
…
Seeing the crowd's adoring gazes, Cheng Xiao Jiao felt her face burning with embarrassment. Her shock instantly vanished, replaced by overwhelming anger! This was merely Er Zhu stumbling upon the solution by chance; how could a bumpkin like him know Feng Shui!
"Xiao Jiao, go apologize to Er Zhu!" Just as Cheng Xiao Jiao was contemplating how to refute Er Zhu, Sun Chengbin unexpectedly issued this command! Cheng Xiao Jiao, her face flushed, wanted to argue, but seeing Sun Chengbin's stern expression, she had no choice but to comply for the moment. After all, Sun Chengbin was a prominent figure in Hua Bei City, while she was merely a bar singer…
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang. I was too narrow-minded. Please don't hold it against me!" Despite her inner rage and unwillingness, Cheng Xiao Jiao could only bow and apologize to Er Zhu. However, Er Zhu didn't even glance at her, leaving directly. Watching Er Zhu's receding figure, Cheng Xiao Jiao's anger intensified. She bit her lip, a cold glint in her eyes! She had never been so disdained by a man before in her life! She would remember this debt with Wang Er Zhu!
"Er Zhu, where are you going?" Sun Chengbin quickly followed as Er Zhu left, his eyes filled with confusion.
