Chapter Six: Bloodshed in the Perilous Building

"Don't lie to me. How can you keep me at the company after I've treated you like this?"

Looking at the middle-aged, overweight man in front of him, with his slightly squinted eyes and the fake smile that was always on his face, Lin Hao asked hesitantly.

Liu Jiang, a successful businessman, knew from years of experience in business negotiations that his employee was already swayed and just needed a final push. "Lin Hao, you know my character best. When have I ever lied to you?" But he was too confident in his integrity, forgetting that he was notorious in the business world for his dishonesty.

"I almost forgot, you're a notorious liar at the company. How can I believe you?" Seeing things were going badly, Liu Jiang had no choice but to use his trump card. "Lin Hao, I know your child is seriously ill and needs money. How about this, if you release my daughter, I'll lend you 200,000 yuan so your child can see a doctor." Liu Jiang knew that if he offered him 200,000 yuan, Lin Hao wouldn't believe him; lending it might be more credible. "And I won't pursue the matter of you kidnapping my daughter anymore. If you don't believe me, I'll swear." He then solemnly swore to the heavens, "I, Liu Jiang, swear that if I break what I've said today, may I die a horrible death."

Lin Hao had originally planned to kidnap Liu Jiang's daughter because he loved his son so much and was unable to afford medical treatment after being fired. Now, seeing Liu Jiang's solemn oath and hearing Kuang Tianyou's horrific description of his death, he made up his mind. He slowly put down the fruit knife. Seeing this, the police quickly handcuffed him and took him to the station. As he passed Liu Jiang, Lin Hao said worriedly, "Mr. Liu, I'm so sorry for causing you so much trouble. Please be magnanimous and don't forget your promise to save my son. I beg you." But Liu Jiang's attitude changed drastically. "You're dreaming. I was just lying to you. You can just wait to collect your son's corpse."

He had thought his son was finally saved, but he never expected Liu Jiang to turn into a monster. In a fit of rage, Lin Hao pounced on Liu Jiang like a mad beast. Caught off guard, Liu Jiang was swept away and pushed off the building by Lin Hao. Just as they were about to fall, Kuang Tianyou managed to grab Liu Jiang's foot. Lin Hao, because he was holding Liu Jiang, didn't fall either. He and Liu Jiang were suspended in mid-air, with Kuang Tianyou bearing their weight alone.

"Liu Jiang, you despicable scoundrel! I'll die with you!" Lin Hao cried out, not seeking life but seeking death. He frantically shook his body. Liu Jiang was terrified, but luckily, he had a flash of inspiration. He tickled Lin Hao's armpits a few times, and Lin Hao, feeling only ticklishness, loosened his grip and fell. The piercing screams continued for a long time.

Kuang Tianyou and the others slowly pulled Liu Jiang out of the water. Actually, Kuang Tianyou also despised Liu Jiang, this fickle and heartless scoundrel. But human life is precious, and despite his dislike, he still had to save him. Besides, he was Liu Sir's relative.

Although the kidnapping case was over, a murder case still needed to be dealt with. The people upstairs all came downstairs.

Lin Hao's body lay on the road below. His death was gruesome. Blood stained the nearby ground. Liu Jiang and several others were escorted by police back to the police station to give their statements. But just as they passed Lin Hao's body, a strange thing happened. Lin Hao, who had already died, twitched his eyes and suddenly turned his head towards Liu Jiang and his group. He uttered a venomous voice, "I will definitely come back for revenge." With that, his eyes closed, and he died.

Everyone who witnessed this scene was horrified, a chill running down their spines. Liu Jiang, in particular, was terrified out of his wits.

After giving their statements at the police station, Wang Zhenzhen, Fusheng, and Kuang Tianyou returned home together. They were all silent, deeply affected by the events of the day. When Ma Xiaoling and Jin Zhengzhong returned and saw their strange expressions, they quickly asked what had happened. Wang Zhenzhen briefly recounted the events. When she mentioned Lin Hao's last words, Wang Zhenzhen felt a chill run down her spine. Ma Xiaoling initially listened nonchalantly, but upon hearing of Lin Hao's death, she suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no! Today happens to be an unlucky day and month, and Lin Hao died during an unlucky time when yin energy was at its peak and yang energy was at its weakest. Plus, his resentment was extremely strong at the time of his death. I dare say that on the night his spirit returns in seven days, Lin Hao will definitely become a vengeful ghost and seek revenge on Liu Jiang." Wang Zhenzhen knew Xiaoling was an exorcist, so she understood the seriousness of the situation and asked her what to do.

Ma Xiaoling hugged Wang Zhenzhen and said with a smile, "It's alright. Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor. Lin Hao won't come looking for you. Besides, even if he does, you don't need to be afraid with me here. If he doesn't come, fine; if he does, I'll take care of him." Seeing that Ma Xiaoling had misunderstood her, Wang Zhenzhen quickly explained, "I'm not worried about myself. With a master like you by my side, of course I'm not afraid. I'm just worried about Liu Ting. Xiaoling, can you help them?"

Ma Xiaoling laughed and said, "You know I'm a bit greedy for money, so the fees aren't low."

"Okay, I understand. I need to call Mr. Liu." With that, the usually quiet woman rushed off to make the call. Ma Xiaoling glanced at Kuang Tianyou again; he was looking at her with a strange expression.

"What are you looking at, you stinky cop? I don't need to eat or buy clothes anymore. What's free these days? You don't expect me to collect ghosts for free, do you? Don't even think about it."

Kuang Tianyou smiled slightly after hearing this and said nothing.

After a while, Wang Zhenzhen walked over dejectedly.

"I knew Liu Jiang wouldn't believe it. Oh well, I'm too lazy to care about this. I'm tired, I'm going back to rest."

"Xiaoling..."

"Zhenzhen, stop talking and let her go back to rest."

"Tianyou, why didn't you let me try to persuade Xiaoling again?" Wang Zhenzhen asked, puzzled. Kuang Tianyou smiled and said, "You know Ma Xiaoling's temper. She's all bark and no bite. She'll definitely go back and help Liu Jiang."

"That's true, that's how Xiaoling is."

The next day, Kuang Tianyou, carrying Lin Hao's information from the police station, went to Lin Hao's house. He rang the doorbell, and after a while, an old woman opened the door: "Who are you looking for?" Kuang Tianyou waved his police ID: "I'm a police officer, and I want to come in to investigate a case."
