I rely on unlimited life extension

Chapter 537 Fellow Daoist Ming's Scandal

Cheng Yi chuckled and said, "No need for fancy talk. Just say what you need. Do you need to borrow money?"

Dao Youming's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Oh my, no wonder you're friends with the master! You guessed it right away. It doesn't need to be much, just a few dozen yuan will solve my urgent problem."

Cheng Yi said, "Well then, since we've got nothing else to do, didn't you just say you've lived here since you were little? I'll ask you a few questions. If you answer well, I promise I won't be stingy with my rewards."

Dao Youming stared wide-eyed at the brand-new banknotes in Cheng Yi's hand, and hurriedly nodded, saying, "No problem, boss. Do you want to know about Ah Xiang, the apartment flower in our building?"

"Let me tell you, Ah Xiang is like a public bus. Don't be fooled by her aloof and unapproachable demeanor; it's all an act. I've personally seen her get off a bus late at night several times, driven by a fat, greasy old man in his forties."

Cheng Yi said, "Tell me about the security team."

"Security team? Captain Lu and the others? They're not bad, are they?" Dao Youming hesitated for a moment before saying.

Cheng Yi deliberately said, "Really? I was going to help you, but it seems you don't really need it, so never mind."

As he spoke, he made a gesture as if to put away the banknotes in his hand.

Seeing Cheng Yi about to put away the money, Dao Youming was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan and hurriedly said, "Boss, I'll tell you. That bastard Captain Lu always bullies me. He's beaten me dozens of times for no reason. I've been so angry that I wanted to fight back, but I just can't beat him. Who told him to be so big and burly?"

Cheng Yi took out a banknote, stuffed it into his pocket, and encouraged him, "That's right, tell the truth, don't lie to me."

Dao Youming's eyes widened in surprise, and he nodded vigorously, saying, "Boss, that bastard Captain Lu not only bullied me, but he also peeped at Ah Xiang while she was taking a bath. I saw it with my own eyes. He even gave me 50 yuan to shut me up. That stingy guy is really cheap. He thinks he can get rid of me with this little bit of money."

Cheng Yi pressed further, "Anything else? What about his security guards? Reveal any dirt they have on you."

"His men... let me think. Tie Dan is actually quite timid and loves to drink. When he's drunk, he likes to brag. However, he's quite good to his wife."

Unfortunately, his wife met a rich man while playing mahjong, climbed the social ladder, and has since divorced him.

The night before last, he had some kind of encounter with an 80-year-old headless woman, and somehow ended up with no feeling in his lower body. I don't know why he was so unlucky.

Cheng Yi exclaimed in surprise, "No way? It's that bad? What about the others?"

"Big Brother, that guy always likes to peek at the flower shop owner, his eyes are practically glued to her. I even overheard him talking to Little Brother once about tying her up and playing cards with her. I have no idea what kind of crazy idea they're up to."

The day before yesterday, he and his twins stole a bag full of money. If Captain Lu hadn't discovered it in time and returned the money, they would have run away with it long ago.

Cheng Yi continued, "Anything else?"

"Anything else? Ah Chang and Xiao Meng are new here. They're from Fujian and speak Minnan dialect all day long, so I can't understand what they're saying. Apart from slacking off and skipping work, I haven't found any other problems."

Ah Qiang, well, he's tall and handsome, and he's on good terms with several wealthy women in the building. He's often called out for dinner and drinks during his evening shifts, and nobody knows what they're up to.

Cheng Yi then asked, "What about Mr. and Mrs. Li? I heard they are not filial to their mother at all."

Dao Youming became interested and said, "Hey, Mr. Li is just a small chef in a restaurant. He doesn't earn much money and can barely make ends meet."

Mrs. Li was a nightclub worker before she got married. She was very beautiful, but Mrs. Li disliked her from the moment she entered the family, and the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was always very tense.

However, since Xiao Rong was born, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has improved a lot.

However, in the past two years, Mrs. Li's health has been poor, and she often needs to take medicine, which has made the Li family's life even more difficult.

However, about two months ago, I think I saw an insurance salesman at their house. He came out smiling, so it must have been that Mrs. Li bought insurance.

But a few days ago, Old Mrs. Li fell down the stairs and died. Logically speaking, her family should be able to pay a large sum of money in compensation.

However, who knew that Mr. Li and Mrs. Li had both died a few nights ago, leaving only Xiao Rong, who had already been taken to a children's welfare home.

However, I feel that Old Mrs. Li's death must be related to Mr. and Mrs. Li, because on the very night Old Mrs. Li's spirit returned to the world, they actually tried to kill me to silence me.

Cheng Yi said, "I remember there was another girl named A-Qun. Who is she?"

"Ah Qun, she's a hopeless romantic. She's not good at studying, and all she does is date guys. Every time she breaks up with someone, she locks herself in her bedroom for over a week, and she's always throwing things out of the window. She's been warned by the police several times. By the way, boss, why are you paying so much attention to these kinds of people?"

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "I'm a ghost hunter. Leo said that Mr. and Mrs. Li want to return to the underworld tonight to seek revenge, so they asked me to help."

Upon hearing this, Dao Youming nervously swallowed and said, "Revenge? What if they come to kill me to silence me?"

Cheng nodded and asked in return, "If you were Mr. or Mrs. Li, would you kill yourself?"

Daoist Ming nodded helplessly with a bitter face.

Cheng stuffed the remaining banknotes in his hand into his pocket and said, "Then let's find a place to hide."

Dao Youming glanced at his watch and said in a panic, "It's almost 12 o'clock. I'd better go hide quickly."

As he spoke, he hurriedly ran downstairs.

Following Dao Youming's directions, Cheng Yi headed towards the security room.

Although he did not activate his Heavenly Eye, he could clearly feel the surrounding Yin energy gradually becoming denser, and that chilling aura was like an invisible veil slowly enveloping him.

Cheng Yi knew in his heart that Mr. and Mrs. Li would be returning soon.

Before long, Cheng Yi arrived at the security room.

He raised his hand and gently knocked on the door, the sound echoing in the quiet corridor.

A moment later, the door slowly opened, revealing Ah Qiang. Ah Qiang looked Cheng Yi up and down, then asked with a hint of doubt, "Sir, who are you looking for?"

Cheng Yi remained calm and slowly said, "I'm the ghost hunter that Leo hired. Why are you the only one in your security room?"

Upon hearing Cheng Yi's identity, A-Qiang's face immediately lit up with a smile, and he explained, "They went out on patrol."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yi immediately said seriously, "You'd better tell them to come back quickly. It's almost midnight. If Mr. and Mrs. Li come back seeking revenge, the first people they'll probably target are you security guards."

Upon hearing this, A-Qiang hesitated for a moment, then stammered, "But they've already gone. How about I take you to find them?"

Cheng Yi frowned slightly, activated his Heavenly Eye, and looked at A-Qiang with piercing eyes. Then he slowly shook his head and said, "Let's not. You're under a lot of pressure. If you go out, you probably won't come back. You should stay indoors."

Just then, the clock inside the room suddenly rang out, its crisp sound particularly abrupt in the quiet space.

Cheng Yi's Heavenly Eye clearly saw a faint blue light quietly appear inside the room. The light was like a cold, ghostly fire, instantly causing the temperature inside the room to drop sharply.

Ah Qiang seemed oblivious to the strange light, simply rubbing his arms and saying, "Sir, please sit down. I'll go get you a drink."

After saying that, he turned around, went to the corner, opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of Coke, handed it to Cheng Yi, and said, "The Coke is chilled, drink this!"

Cheng Yi reached out and took it, looking at A-Qiang, and casually asked, "Are you feeling hot?"

As he wiped the sweat from his forehead, A-Qiang said, "Yes, these days are the hottest days of summer."

As he spoke, he glanced at the thermometer on the wall and exclaimed in surprise, "36°C at night? That can't be right! I turned on the air conditioner, I can't stand it. Have a seat, I'll heat up some bread."

After saying that, he turned the air conditioner temperature down a bit, then went to the microwave, put the bread in it, carefully adjusted the time, and then hurriedly went to the bathroom.

Cheng Yi's physique is far superior to that of ordinary people, so such a hot temperature is nothing to him.

He took a small sip of the iced cola, enjoying the cool sensation.

However, at that moment, a cold wind blew by with a "whoosh".

The microwave oven door opened slowly and automatically, and in an instant, the entire room seemed to be set on fire, with the temperature soaring uncontrollably.

Cheng Yi remained calm and quietly observed everything without making a sound.

After a while, Ah Qiang rushed out of the toilet, panting heavily and with a flushed face. He grabbed his collar and yelled, "What's going on? Why is it getting hotter and hotter? I can't breathe!"

At this moment, the room was suddenly enveloped in an eerie red light, which resembled blood and instilled fear in everyone.

The water in the glass gradually began to boil under the high temperature, bubbling and gurgling; the corn kernels also popped into popcorn under the high temperature, scattering everywhere with a crackling sound; the banana peel quickly turned black and began to rot; even the bread in the microwave turned into a burnt mess under the high temperature.

Ah Qiang finally realized something was wrong. His eyes widened in horror as he ripped open his collar, trying to catch his breath. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. He said in a panic, "What the hell is going on? I didn't get this hot even in a sauna!"

Cheng smiled and said calmly, "Because Mr. Li and his wife have come for revenge. But can't you see I'm here too?"

As he spoke, a radiant light appeared in his hand, like a dazzling sun, instantly illuminating the entire room and dispelling the chilling red glow.

A scream suddenly rang out, followed by the door being flung open with a bang, and a sinister gust of wind carrying the shrill cry flew out.

As the eerie wind dissipated, the temperature inside the room immediately dropped, and everything returned to normal.

Ah Qiang looked around with lingering fear, his eyes still filled with lingering terror, and cautiously asked, "They got away?"

Cheng smiled and nodded, "Yes."

Suddenly, a woman slowly walked in from outside the door. It was Ah Qun, whose outfit paid homage to Mathilde from "Léon: The Professional".

She wore a slightly oversized coat and dark pants, and her overall demeanor exuded a stubbornness and aloofness.

Her figure appeared somewhat frail in the light and shadow at the doorway, her eyes revealing a hint of confusion and fear, and her voice trembled slightly as she said, "What was that gust of wind that just went out? It startled me."

When Ah Qiang saw the person arrive, he seemed to have found his pillar of support and excitedly said, "Ah Qun, Mr. Li and Mrs. Li just returned. Thanks to this master, otherwise, I'm afraid I would have died of heatstroke."

Upon hearing this, Ah Qun's face immediately showed utter astonishment, and he excitedly exclaimed, "Mr. and Mrs. Li? They're really back? How terrifying! Who is this master?"

Cheng Yi stepped forward, a cold smile playing on his lips, and said, "I am your father."

Immediately, he swiftly extended his right sword finger, the tip of which carried a sharp gust of wind, and accurately struck Ah Qun's head.

Ah Qun let out a scream, her face turning ashen white. A dark, eerie wind suddenly rushed out from behind her, and she fled again like a frightened wild beast.

A-Qiang rushed forward and carefully helped A-Qun, who had slumped to one side, to her feet. He asked with concern, "A-Qun, how are you?"

Ah Qun looked dazed and asked blankly, "When did I get here? I don't remember?"

"Of course, you were just possessed by Mrs. Li!" Ah Qiang quickly explained.

Just then, Captain Lu, Tie Dan, and several security guards returned. Upon closer inspection, Cheng Yi discovered that two Fujianese men were missing.

As soon as they entered, they saw a strange man in the security room and frowned. Captain Lu was the first to speak, asking, "Qiang, who is this? How did he get in?"

Ah Qiang quickly told them everything that had just happened.

After hearing this, Captain Lu said with a hint of disbelief, "Really? Qiang, are you exaggerating?"

Tie Dan nodded in agreement, adding, "That's right. From what you're saying, this gentleman seems even more skilled than the master who came before."

The man who looked a lot like the Iron-Legged Water-Skimming Twin was the most impatient. He snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "What Mrs. Li? Forget it. I went out for a bit just now, and I didn't encounter any ghosts. Possessed? Let her possess me if she dares!"

As he spoke, he strode up to Cheng Yi, stiffened his neck, and shouted, "I don't care what your relationship is with that charlatan. If you want to pretend to be a ghost to scare me, don't even dream about it. I'm quitting this damn job!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he ripped off his security guard uniform, threw it on the ground, and walked out without looking back.
