After being reborn, she went on a killing spree in both the Yin and Yang realms.
Chapter 39 Master Jia Emerges from Seclusion
Ling Yue realized that Lin Heng's matter was not simple, so she told Liang Lina to drive home first, and she would go back after she finished her business.
Liang Lina has always adopted a hands-off approach to raising Ling Yue, and she didn't ask about the specifics of the matter. She just told her to be careful and to call her parents if anything happened.
Master Jia was quite efficient; he arrived at the construction site in just over three hours.
Lin Heng and Ling Yue had been waiting in the construction site office for a long time. Of course, Tianxin was with them too. Ever since Ling Yue named her Tianxin, she had followed Ling Yue everywhere.
"Master Jia, over here!" Ling Yue spotted Jia Zhengjing from afar; his bright red basketball shoes were particularly eye-catching.
Jia Zhengjing only brought one of her young apprentices from the Taoist temple to act as her driver.
When Ling Yue saw the young Taoist priest getting out of the driver's seat dressed in a Taoist robe, she thought he was a minor driving without a license.
Because it looks really small, like a high school student, carrying a briefcase, it seems a bit difficult to lift.
Lin Heng, with keen insight, tried to take the briefcase from the young Taoist priest, but the priest immediately hid it behind his back and refused with a wary expression.
"It's alright, it's alright. That box contains some magical artifacts that I brought with me. They shouldn't be touched by others easily. Please don't be offended, Mr. Lin."
Master Jia explained with a chuckle.
Lin Heng stepped forward, shook hands with Jia Zhengjing, and gave a brief introduction to the basic situation of the construction site.
The land was acquired a long time ago, but Lin Heng's father has left it undeveloped because he consulted a feng shui master who said that the land was in an unfavorable location for construction back then, and therefore should not be disturbed.
The land price has gone up again this year; it has been rising for years. Lin Heng's father felt that if they didn't start developing the land soon, they might miss the best opportunity.
Therefore, this year we specially invited a master to choose the right time to break ground and held a groundbreaking ceremony.
The land was planned for residential use, with a three-story underground garage. The workers had just finished digging when one of them had an accident.
Lin Heng rushed back that day because the family of his deceased coworker had caused a scene at the construction site after learning about the situation, demanding compensation.
When Lin Heng arrived at the scene, he looked at his coworker's body and was about to call the police when his coworkers advised him to find someone knowledgeable to see what was going on, because everyone present had seen how he died and found it very strange.
This matter is so strange. Lin Heng's father said that he would compensate that family first, regardless of whether the injury or death was caused at work, they are responsible.
The family initially demanded an exorbitant 100 million yuan, but Lin Heng insisted on calling the police first to let the relevant authorities determine the nature of the matter and determine the appropriate compensation.
At this point, the coworker's son and daughter relented and reduced the amount from 100 million to 70.
Lin Heng's father was also a straightforward person; as long as he stopped causing a scene at the construction site, he agreed.
To everyone's surprise, they disappeared after taking the money. Lin Heng said they were afraid to approach because his father's death looked so strange.
After hearing this, Ling Yue couldn't help but sigh, "Who would still look down on their own father? Besides, the dead should be respected. Isn't it their duty to send their father off on his final journey and let him rest in peace?"
"Xiao Lingzi, you're obviously naive. The world is full of wonders, and emotions can be so fragile in the face of self-interest."
"Lin Heng, where is the old man's body now?"
"The police have already taken them away, and the scene was cordoned off last night. However, I took photos of the scene beforehand, and I was planning to find a master to take a look at them."
"You said you had someone inspect it before construction started?" Master Jia asked in a deep voice, stroking his chin.
"Yes, my dad found him. He said he specially invited Master Jia from Shanghai, and he's very skilled."
Huh? Also from Haishi? And also surnamed Jia?
Ling Yue looked at Master Jia in front of her with a puzzled expression: "Master Jia, do you have any older or younger brothers?"
Jia Zhengjing: ...
At this moment, the young Taoist priest who had been standing motionless to the side said somewhat agitatedly, "My master is an orphan, where would he get brothers?"
Jia Zhengjing: Thank you. He almost forgot that he is an orphan.
"Was the Master Jia that Lin Heng's father hired a fake?"
"Little Lingzi isn't completely stupid, is she? These days, there are quite a few people impersonating me, it's incredibly annoying. Enough with the nonsense, let's go underground and take a look."
Lin Heng had already made arrangements. He went to the foundation where the excavator had dug and the edge protection had been done. It was three underground floors, a full eight or nine meters deep.
Everyone wore helmets, and for Lingyue, who is afraid of heights, it really took a lot of courage to go down with them.
While she was still on the ground preparing herself mentally, she saw Master Jia descend the ladder with lightning speed; it really was just a blink of an eye…
The old man in his sixties delivered a devastating blow to Ling Yue!
It completely ignited her damn competitive spirit.
Lin Heng waited by her side the whole time: "If you're really scared, just wait up here. I'll record a video for you when I get down. It'll be the same thing."
"No, I might encounter similar situations again in the future. I have to overcome them. Let's go, we need to keep up with Master Jia."
Lin Heng smiled helplessly: "I'll go down first and wait for you down there."
The ladder was sturdy and had guardrails, so there were no safety issues. However, Ling Yue still trembled as soon as she took her first step. But once she took that first step, her fear only diminished.
Ling Yue had just landed on the ground, and the sense of accomplishment from her feet landing hadn't even faded when she suddenly realized a problem.
How can the young Taoist priest follow along?
“The yin energy is heavy down there, and he’s still too young. Let him play up there,” Master Jia explained as he observed.
Ling Yue: ……
Lin Heng: ...
"Isn't he still carrying your toolbox? How can you exorcise ghosts without tools? Don't you need things like peach wood swords and Bagua mirrors to exorcise ghosts?"
"Xiao Lingzi, what era are we living in? Who goes out carrying a sword now? Those things can't even get through subway security."
What was the briefcase you had the young Taoist priest carry for? It looks quite heavy.
Ling Yue didn't ask the question aloud; she wanted to see what modern methods of exorcising ghosts were first!
“There is definitely something wrong with this underground area. Let me see the photos of the murdered coworkers at the scene.”
Lin Heng quickly took out his phone and displayed the photos he had taken.
"Is this the only one who has died so far?"
Listening to Master Jia speak so casually, Ling Yue felt a chill run down her spine. It seemed there were indeed many evil spirits in this world. Did that mean her business would do well in the future?
As Ling Yue thought about it, she unconsciously grinned.
"Ling Yue, you look like you've seen something delicious. Wipe your drool."
Lin Heng is such a genuine person! Thank you for reminding me!
