There was a yellow talisman under Wu Dengke's pillow. He had used a red brush to draw a talisman on it. The strange aura in the room was coming from this talisman.
Wu Dengke held the yellow talisman with a distressed face. "This is the gift I got when I bought the ghost. I purposely hid it under my pillow. I didn't expect that you would find it."
As soon as he took out the yellow talisman, the strange aura in the room became thicker.
I used my spiritual sense to scan the talisman and found that its aura was strange. It wasn't Yin energy but Daoist energy. Moreover, it seemed to have some kind of restriction.
It made sense. According to Wu Dengke, if this yellow talisman was a gift when I bought the ghost, it meant that it was a talisman that could dispel Yin energy.
The small bottle I had dug out from the construction site had thick Yin energy. It was enough to kill an adult man easily. However, Wu Dengke, who didn't understand Daoist magic, was able to bury it in the construction site without getting hurt. He must have received the protection of this yellow talisman!
I received the yellow talisman and quietly used my Yin energy to nourish it. I found that it could absorb Yin energy very well.
"This is a Yin Expelling Talisman. I believe it's the reason you were able to hold the small bottle safely," I said.
The Yin Expelling Talisman could dispel Yin energy and prevent it from harming people. Many sects in the world of martial arts had studied this. With my current realm, I could see it at a glance.
Wu Dengke said, "You have good eyes. Many geomancy masters couldn't see through it. I didn't expect that a young man like you could see through it at first glance!
You're right. This is the Yin Expelling Talisman that the man gave me when I bought the ghost! "
I didn't answer Wu Dengke's question. Dai Nanzhou wore a painful face. "Dengke, did you really bring that ghost here?
Tell me, why did you do that? "
The truth was right in front of us, and Dai Nanzhou had to believe it. It was hard to be betrayed by someone close to him. Dai Nanzhou clutched his head and shook his head. "I treated you well. Why did you harm me?
Why did you do that? "
Wu Dengke sneered. "Treated me well?
Hmph, if it weren't for you, I would be the business manager of my company in Hong Kong. I could take charge of everything by myself!
Now that you're here, I can only do odd jobs for you. I don't even have to do any hard labor!
You still have the cheek to say that you treat me well? "
"Dengke, I've always trusted you. How can you say that?" Dai Nanzhou said.
"Trust?
Humph, what a joke. "Wu Dengke said," I've worked in the company for eighteen years!
Did you think it was easy for me to go from a salesman to where I am now?
It wasn't easy for me to get this opportunity to expand my business in Hong Kong. But when I was almost done with the paperwork, my boss sent you to Hong Kong! "
"You're just a young lad. You've only been in the company for three years. What right do you have to steal my fruits of victory?
Just because you are the boss's nephew? "
Wu Dengke, who was originally quiet, had completely lost control of his emotions. "In the past, when I was running business, I would carry gifts and wait for those officials to come out. The weather was 40 degrees Celsius, and I would wait the whole day. Where were you at that time?"
"In order to sign the bill smoothly, I drank with a client and my stomach bled. I was hospitalized for more than a week and almost lost my life. Where were you at that time?"
…
Wu Dengke's chatterbox could not be held back. He spat out all the grievances he had suffered before. "I've done so much for the company!
As long as this business is completed, I can get the boss's favor. I can earn a lot of money. I can buy a villa in the rich district of Shenzhen, drive a sports car, and play like a celebrity! "
"But because I came, I lost all these things that were originally within my reach!
I've done so much before, and now it's all your credit!
Why?
Why should I give up all my credit the moment you come? "
"Dai Nanzhou, I f * cking hate you!"
With every word he said, Dai Nanzhou's face darkened. When he finished, Dai Nanzhou raised his head and looked at him. There was no longer the pain in his voice. He only said gloomily, "I will remember all the things you've done, all the contributions you've made. The company will also remember.
When this building is completed, you will definitely get what you deserve.
Do you really have to do this?
Do you have to destroy this business that you've worked so hard to complete?
If you destroy everything, where will you put me?
How will I go back and face my uncle?
You're … You're forcing me to my death! "
"Death?" Wu Dengke's face twisted. "It's too easy for you to die just like that!
I'll make you lose all your reputation! "
"I've put in all my effort for this project!
Just as all the procedures were about to be completed, and the building was about to start, you jumped out like a flea!
All my efforts were in vain!
My dream of a villa was ruined!
Dai Nanzhou, I hate you. I'll make you lose all your reputation. I'll make you feel ashamed in the company! "
Dai Nanzhou pointed at Wu Dengke. "You!
… "
"Haha …" Wu Dengke suddenly laughed bitterly after his hysteria. "What a pity, what a pity that someone came out of nowhere. Otherwise, you really wouldn't be able to make a comeback for the rest of your life!"
Wu Dengke's expression made me angry and feel pity. I said helplessly, "What can you get other than making the company suffer a huge loss?"
"I can get everything I want!"
Wu Dengke said, "Zhou Yi, if it weren't for your appearance, Dai Nanzhou would have lost all his reputation. He might have been called back by the headquarters. By then, wouldn't the construction site be handed over to me?
Then, wouldn't I be able to fulfill my dream?
It's been eighteen years. I've always dreamed of being able to take charge, drive a luxury car, and live in a villa! "
"But it's all because of you!
Zhou Yi, I hate you. I hate you more than I hate Dai Nanzhou! "
Dai Nanzhou was silent for a long time. The expression on his face became more and more painful. He continued, "Dengke, why do you have to do this? Originally, the company's business was going to be handed over to you. My uncle asked me to come to Hong Kong because he saw that the conditions were right and asked me to come here to gain experience. In the future, I'll be able to take on a big responsibility. After the gold plating is done, I'll still have to go back. At that time, won't the Hong Kong business still be handed over to you?
Why are you so radical? "
"You don't have to lie to me!" Wu Dengke said, "The boss won't be so kind, and you won't either!
You're all snakes and rats in the same nest. You only want to squeeze the fruits of my labor and live on my achievements!
You won't be so kind at all!
I've been in the company for eighteen years. When has the company not treated me like this? "
"Dai Nanzhou, I hate that I can't ruin your reputation immediately!
You don't have to lie to me anymore! "
"Do you know why my uncle has been treating you like this for so many years?"
Dai Nanzhou said, "My uncle has seen that you're eager for success. He wants you to gain experience and wear down your evil aura!"
"Nonsense!
He's just passing on his son, not his ability! "
Wu Dengke rolled his eyes. "I'm so capable, but Wang Yongjun has never looked at me in the eye. He even sent you to steal the fruits of my victory!
You two are snakes and rats in the same nest, jackals of the same lair! "
I shook my head. Wu Dengke was crazy. From him, I could vaguely see the stubbornness that the Miao woman, Zhao Ying, had when I first came to Shenzhen. "Even if the company isn't fair, it's too extreme to use this method. You don't understand Taoism. That otherworldly item has a lot of Yin energy. Although you have the Yin Expelling Talisman to protect you, you can't avoid getting hurt."
I didn't know when Wu Dengke's mouth started to bleed. "People live with their last breath. As long as you can defeat Dai Nanzhou and win this project, what's the big deal if you die?"
"As long as I can drive a luxurious car and live in a mansion, I won't frown even if I die right now!
The executives of the other companies can have beautiful women and nice cars with them. Why do I have to drive the broken car that the company gave me every day? "
"I've thought about it. I'll use half of my life's savings to set up this trap. Then, I'll use the company's bonus to buy a villa, a sports car, and a female celebrity …"
"After I've fulfilled my dreams, I'll die!
When I was born, my family didn't even have steamed buns to eat. I want to die with beautiful women, nice cars, and a luxurious villa. Haha … "
I said begrudgingly, "Is it worth it?"
"Worth it?
I've contributed to the company for eighteen years, and I've given all the credit to Dai Nanzhou. Do you think it's worth it for me to take a month's salary?
Hmph, in this world, the winner takes all. It's only worth it if you can fulfill your dreams and call the wind and summon the rain! "
"My dream is simple. I want to be independent and have beautiful women and nice cars … As long as I can fulfill my dream, what's the big deal about dying?" said Wu Dengke.
"Dengke, wake up!
Don't be so stubborn. Let's not talk about this anymore. Just help me like before. After this project is over, I'll ask my uncle to give you a villa. What do you think? "
Dai Nanzhou's voice sounded like he was begging. When we were in school, he was a kind person. That was how we became friends.
And now, he hadn't changed his mind. Wu Dengke had treated him badly, but he still wanted to save him.
"Don't be a hypocrite!"
Wu Dengke didn't buy it. He roared crazily, "And … And it's too late. Remember that I was hospitalized a few days ago?
Because I've been in contact with that ghost too much, my body can't take it anymore. The doctor said that I've been poisoned by a very powerful poison. I can't be saved. "
Dai Nanzhou was a kind person. He was surprised when he heard what he said. "Really?"
The blood at the corner of Wu Dengke's mouth hadn't dried yet, and his face looked terrible. "Of course, it's true. Are you happy to hear this news?
I wanted to hold on for a few more days and see you lose your reputation before I die!
But now, it seems that I can't do it. "
Wu Dengke spat out a mouthful of blood.
The blood was dark and smelled strange. Wu Dengke's face didn't look normal. His glabella was dark red, and the veins on his temples were bulging.
"Zhou Yi, you're very skilled, right?
Please save him. Although he did something wrong, he … he doesn't deserve to die. "
Wu Dengke looked like he was seriously poisoned. Dai Nanzhou gathered around and grabbed my arm, begging for mercy for him.
At this moment, I furrowed my brows and felt disgusted.
I considered myself a kindhearted person, but I was different from Dai Nanzhou. After experiencing so many things in the past few years, I had long since understood that there was a bottom line for kindness. This Wu Dengke had already gone crazy, and there was no cure for him.
Why was it necessary to save such a person?
