Chapter 141 Leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist

"Now that we've had our drinks and eaten our meat, tell me, why did I see you at Xuanqing Temple tonight?"

"Xuanqing Temple? Didn't he say he had some family business to attend to and needed to go home? Why did he end up at Xuanqing Temple?"

Ling Yue and Seventeen asked crucial questions one after another, and Su Shiming looked up at the three people in front of him.

Why do I feel like a prisoner being interrogated by these three?

"Stop, stop, stop! I'll be lenient if I confess, and severe if I resist."

Su Shiming finished the rest of his wine in one gulp and began to speak slowly.

"It was my former senior brother, Zhenyangzi, who suddenly contacted me right after I returned from Yun County."

"He invited me to meet him at Xuanqing Temple tonight."

"I suspect that the death of Shen Cuilan's ex-husband is related to Xuanqing Temple. I was just thinking of taking this opportunity to investigate Zhenyangzi."

Chu Xin stared at him like he was an idiot, "Why didn't you say so sooner!"

Su Shiming also got anxious and stood up, pointing at Chu Xin and saying, "How dare you say that! Did you give me time to explain? You just attacked me."

Chu Xin stood up anxiously, "Would things have turned out like this if you hadn't fought back?"

"You slapped me in the face, how could I not fight back? Don't you even know that you shouldn't hit someone in the face?"

Ling Yue realized that the two of them weren't going to stop anytime soon.

"Is this ever going to end? If not, shall we go outside and fight again?"

The two of them then sat down reluctantly.

"Now that we all know what happened, let's put this behind us. From now on, Red Hair, we'll discuss things together. You're making us all worry about you, aren't we?"

"I understand, sister-in-law. I'll share my thoughts with everyone in the future."

"So what did you two talk about tonight?"

Chu Xin's voice has changed because of an injury to her mouth.

Su Shiming's expression gradually turned serious. "He kept subtly probing whether Ghostly Human was doing some other business behind the scenes. I was quite surprised at the time. Apart from those few distinguished guests and us, who else would know?"

Seventeen slapped Su Shiming on the back in annoyance. "You're so stupid. We never intended to hide anything. These kinds of things are something that people will believe in on their own. We're worried about not having any distinguished guests. It's not surprising that he knows, is it?"

Su Shiming scratched the red hair on his head, thought for a moment, and it seemed to make sense...

"Go on."

“I said to myself that I was just a small bartender, how would I know about the core business? Then he said he wanted me to do something like an undercover agent in Ghost World, to report any news to him.”

Chu Xin scoffed, "He really dares to say that! I seriously suspect you two have actually been in contact all along!"

"That's not nonsense. We've been fellow disciples for two years. Even if I unilaterally announced that I was severing ties with Xuanqing Temple, I wasn't targeting any specific person. He'll definitely think that our relationship is closer than his relationship with you guys."

Ling Yue nodded repeatedly, "Red Hair is right. Since you have made it clear that you are just a small bartender in the Ghost World, it means that we have a simple employer-employee relationship."

"You probably haven't seen his cunning businessman face, have you? You think you can just do whatever your senior brother tells you to do? Nobody believes that!"

Ling Yue thought to herself, how could she not have seen it before...

Su Shiming's expression, a mixture of wanting to laugh and not daring to because of his facial injuries, looked quite comical.

The other three were amused by him.

"I told you I'd be willing to go undercover, but I have one condition: I've wanted that Bagua mirror that's been treasured in the temple for a long time, and I hope you'll grant my request, Senior Brother."

"Haha...tsk...haha, you don't know, Zhenyangzi's face darkened at that time, and I just added fuel to the fire. Why don't you think about it again, Senior Brother? I'm not in a hurry."

Seventeen, sounding a little impatient, asked, "And then? He agreed?"

"I could see he was still a bit hesitant, so I said goodbye. That's when he panicked and nodded in agreement."

Seventeen: "You're not really going to go undercover for him, are you?"

Su Shiming: "How could that be! I've been thinking about it, do you think I should just turn the tables on you?"

Original intention: "I didn't learn much real skill, but I learned a lot of tricks."

Before Su Shiming could object, Ling Yue quickly spoke up, "I think Red Hair's idea is good. If we use this spy-within-a-spy approach well, we might be able to catch them off guard."

"Tonight, my master, Chuxin, and I met your master, Lu Haotian. I have a feeling that he's hiding his true strength. Although he's polite and courteous on the surface, he might be a murderous maniac behind the scenes!"

Su Shiming quickly stopped Ling Yue from letting her imagination run wild, "It's not that bad, it's not that bad. He really is unfathomable. After spending two years with him, my impression of him is that he is a respectable elder with real abilities."

Chu Xin: "I've always been curious why you didn't choose our Baiyun Temple but went to Xuanqing Temple instead? Acheng and your grandfather were very close to my master."

Su Shiming seemed unwilling to mention this matter. "Who told me to go to Baiyun Temple back then? Well, I insisted on going to Xuanqing Temple instead."

As everyone was chatting away, Ling Yue's phone rang. It was Li Sijun.

"Boss, Li Si has been here for a while now, saying he wants to thank you in person."

Seeing that it was almost time and the Ghostly Human World was about to enter its peak season, Ling Yue told Chu Xin and Su Shiming to go back and rest.

She took seventeen people with her to the ghost realm.

Ling Yue saw Li Si drinking alone, so she walked over to her booth and greeted her.

"How are you sleeping these days?"

"Boss Ling! You finally showed up! Thank you so much! I've been sleeping until I naturally wake up these days! It feels amazing!"

Li Si was very emotional, and his eyes were even brimming with tears.

"It's alright, it's alright. The fact that you can get a good night's sleep proves that our mission has been successfully completed."

“I’ve really come to the right person! Mr. Ling, how much is it? I came here to settle my bill and to thank you properly. I brought some roast duck and roast goose that my mom made. Put them in the lounge and you can share them with the others later.”

Li Si really stumped Ling Yue. Even if Li Si didn't give Ling Yue a single penny, she would still be happy because she heard the notification sound of her donation box receiving a payment.

"Li Si, we don't have any fixed prices here. It's all up to your heart. As long as your heart is sincere, that's all that matters. Whether it's a lot of money or a little, just give me what you think is appropriate."

Ling Yue knew that she was just a teacher and probably didn't have much money, so she didn't insist.

Li Si was indeed sentimental; his voice choked with emotion as he said, "Boss Ling, may I hug you?"

"of course can."

As Ling Yue spoke, she stood up and opened her arms, and Li Si felt a warm embrace.

Watching Li Si's departing figure, Ling Yue said with a smile, "Remember to introduce your acquaintances to patronize my business!"

Ningxia appeared beside Ling Yue without her noticing.

"The sound is so soft, who could hear it!"

"You startled me! Don't you make a sound when you walk?"

"You've seen so many ghosts, you're afraid of a person?"

Ningxia laughed and said, "Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. I just received a transfer of 500,000 yuan in my account. It should have been from Li Si."

what?

Just as Ling Yue was about to chase after him, she suddenly slapped her forehead.

How could she have forgotten the background check information Grandpa Jing had sent her about Li Si? Li Si's adoptive parents were in the furniture business...
