The other person had deep-set eyes, like unfathomable black holes, always dressed in a suit and never smiled.
The original owner of the body left Liang Xinzhou to clean up all the messes he made.
The two had argued quite a bit in the past, and several times the original owner's sharp tongue had angered Liang Xinzhou to the point that he almost hit her.
But at crucial moments, they all come to a stop.
The next time the original owner gets into trouble, they will dutifully clean up the mess for the original owner.
As expected, Liang Xinzhou frowned when he saw her.
Liang Shi jogged over and flashed a bright smile, "Good morning!"
One of the advantages of being an actor is that you can show your friendliness to people anytime, anywhere.
As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face.
Seeing Liang Shi's radiant smile, Liang Xinzhou relaxed a little, no longer maintaining his tense expression, and went straight to the point, "What is it?"
"You're back from your business trip?" Liang Shixian asked.
"Hmm." Liang Xinzhou sensed something was amiss, so he asked again, "What trouble have you gotten into?"
If it's to the point where you need to fawn over him like this, then it must be something like murder or arson.
A storm was raging in Liang Xinzhou's heart, and his brows furrowed into a deep frown.
Liang Shi chuckled helplessly, "I've been at the company lately, what trouble could I possibly cause? I just wanted to let you know."
Liang Xinzhou: "..."
He stared at Liang Shi in astonishment, his eyes conveying only one message—Are you crazy?
That shocked expression seemed to say—Do you think I believe that?
Liang Shi: "..."
The impression the original owner gave off couldn't be changed overnight.
However, Liang Shi was still grateful that Liang Xinzhou had defended him in front of Zhou Yi'an last time.
Although the other party did it for the sake of "the younger sister", she was the one who benefited.
So, adhering to the principle of "repaying kindness", Liang Shi took out the amulet and said, "I went hiking with my colleagues on Sunday and got this for you. It is said to be very effective."
Liang Xinzhou stared at her, but didn't take the thing.
A few seconds later, he said quietly, "When did you start believing in this stuff?"
Liang Shi: "..."
She said sheepishly, "It's better to believe it's true than not to believe it, we've already gone up there."
“You never used to go to those places,” Liang Xinzhou said. “Besides… you said they were all lies.”
"Huh?" Liang Shi awkwardly pinched his earlobe. "Did I say that?"
Her award-winning acting skills were on full display at this moment: "I don't remember. Oh, I asked you to use it, so just use it. If you don't want to, just put it in your office drawer."
Liang Xinzhou was skeptical, but then another possibility came to mind: "You're out of money?"
Liang Shi: "...!"
Her eyes widened immediately, and she denied it instantly: "No! I have money, a lot of money."
...
After saying that, he was surprised himself; his words sounded too much like those of a nouveau riche.
So Liang Shi quickly tried to make amends, saying, "My second brother gave me money before, and I have a salary, so he doesn't need to give me any more money."
She feared that Liang Xinzhou was also the type to transfer money without saying a word.
If she ends up owing more and more money, how will she pay it back?
Sooner or later, I will have to leave the Liang family.
She's a fake heiress, but these two are both real young masters.
Liang Shi knew in his heart that no matter what, they were still family.
The two true young masters would never turn against their own mother because of her, an outsider.
Therefore, it's better to have less debt.
Liang Shi was making plans in his mind.
She glanced at her watch. "Alright, I'll be late if I don't go up now. Big brother, you should go up too."
She put the amulet in his hand and walked straight ahead.
Liang Xinzhou stood there, completely baffled.
Liang Shi heard his assistant say, "The Third Miss seems like a completely different person."
Liang Xinzhou: "You think so too?"
"It's incredible that she can come to work so early," the assistant said. "It's nothing short of a miracle."
Liang Xinzhou: "..."
“She’s always been lazy,” Liang Xinzhou said coldly. “It’s not like she can’t do anything. Now she seems to be doing very well.”
The secretary echoed her sentiments.
Liang Shi felt a mix of emotions as he listened.
These two older brothers are really biased.
And you can tell they're brothers; they're both equally arrogant.
Liang Shi hadn't walked far when she suddenly remembered that she needed to go back to the old house that night. Afraid of finding it empty, she turned back and asked Liang Xinzhou, "Big brother, are Mom and Dad home lately?"
Liang Xinzhou was puzzled, but he still told her, "Yes."
"That's good." Liang Shi said, "It's been a long time since I've seen Mom. How is she doing?"
Liang Xinzhou: "..."
He said in an unfriendly tone, “Why don’t you go back and see for yourself? You’ve been coming home less and less since you got married, and you still have the nerve to ask?”
Liang Shi chuckled and remained silent.
Is it that she doesn't want to reply?
We can't go back!
After being in that room for half an hour, I felt a chill run down my spine, as if something was following me.
Taking this opportunity, Liang Shi asked again, "Brother, have you been to my room?"
Liang Xinzhou was even more puzzled, "Your room is locked so tightly, who could get in? Besides, you're not even here, what would I do in your room?"
Liang Shi: "...Oh."
She continued, "You've never been inside even once?"
Liang Xinzhou found her strange, but patiently replied, "You haven't been in the room since you were sixteen, after the renovation. Mom said no one is allowed in, have you forgotten?"
Liang Shi: "..."
She coughed softly, "I remember, I remember."
He answered with a slight gritted-teeth tone.
Qiu Zimin is really deceiving both sides.
No, it's possible they're several con artists, with more cunning than hairs on their heads.
So no one knew how the original owner's room had been decorated, and no one knew how the original owner's room had been decorated.
Moreover, Liang Xinzhou said that the original owner's room was renovated when he was sixteen years old.
This explains the boy's condition in that photo.
However, the ritual mentioned in the original owner's memo appeared on July 15, 2020.
There is a time gap of several years in between.
What does this mean?
Liang Shi was already used to this feeling of being completely confused, so he didn't insist. Seeing that there wasn't enough time, he immediately said, "Big brother, I'm going to work now."
As they were about to turn around, they saw a person dressed in black and wearing a mask hurrying toward them.
She paused, sensing that something was amiss.
The man raised his head slightly, a fierce glint in his eyes.
"Go quickly," Liang Xinzhou said.
He had barely finished speaking when the man pulled out a knife from somewhere. A flash of cold light appeared, and Liang Shi's pupils dilated in shock. He immediately cried out, "Be careful..."
Before she could finish speaking, her body moved faster than her mouth. She grabbed Liang Xinzhou and pulled him over, but her body spun around due to inertia, exposing her back to her opponent.
When something like this happens in an office building, everyone is startled and doesn't react for a moment.
Liang Shi was extremely fast, but that person was clearly no pushover either, wielding his knife with tremendous force.
The knife missed Liang Xinzhou, but grazed Liang Shi's shoulder.
The sharp blade sliced through the flesh, and blood immediately seeped out, staining the light-colored suit jacket on his body red.
Ignoring the pain, Liang Shi reached out and blocked the man's arm that was pressing down on her, and with her other hand she pinned him down. In the blink of an eye, she used her positional advantage to throw the man over her shoulder.
Thump!
Clang!
After the man fell to the ground, Liang Shi also dissipated the force on his arm, and the knife fell directly to the ground about a meter away.
The blade was stained with bright red blood, which looked eerily vivid as it fell to the ground.
The moment he got up, Liang Shi immediately ran over, pressed him to the ground, and held his shoulders down.
The female Alpha's strength should not be underestimated, but this male Alpha seemed determined to die, and his strength was astonishing.
Liang used all his strength, so his wounds reopened and bled profusely. His neck and face were all red, and his expression was not pleasant.
