35. The Dean's Wish

Page 1 of 3

Fu Shaohuai spared none of his blood. Only after filling the bowl before him did he take the medicine and apply it to his wound.

“Drink it. And no getting angry again afterward.”

Fu Shaohuai reached out and gently stroked the Buddha statue, which was covered in a thin layer of golden light, his movements as tender as if he were caressing a child of his own.

“What would you like today?”

The little ghost immediately named someone.

When Fu Shaohuai heard the name, the corners of his lips lifted slightly.

He said softly, “All right.”

“I’ll have her come to the office in a moment. You can eat her however you like.”

After leaving the secret chamber, Fu Shaohuai instructed his secretary to call Chi You over.

At that moment, Chi You was busy wreaking havoc with Jiang Pan. She had first drawn open the curtains, then taken Jiang Pan into restricted areas and opened all the curtains inside as well.

Not only that, she had also thoroughly tampered with everything there.

She was clearly determined not to let the other side enjoy even a moment of comfort.

“I never imagined the entire company was raising evil spirits,” Jiang Pan said incredulously as he looked at the little rooms.

As the saying went, inviting a spirit was easy, but sending it away was difficult. Weren’t they afraid of dying by doing this?

And were all these little ghosts invited by Fu Shaohuai alone, or had someone within the company brought them in as well?

“The Fu family really is terrifying.” Jiang Pan clicked his tongue in amazement.

As soon as they returned to their workstations, the secretary told Chi You to go to the office.

The moment Jiang Pan heard that Fu Shaohuai wanted to see her, he grew somewhat nervous.

After Chi You left, he frowned and said, “What trick is he trying to pull this time?”

Chi You did not think it was a trick. She had heard that Fu Corporation had just lost an important deal.

Now that he was summoning her, he was probably planning to have her appease that little ghost.

“I’ll be back soon. If anything happens, come find me with Meng Shuyin.”

As she spoke, Chi You stood up and shook the phone hanging from her body.

Jiang Pan understood. He reminded her, “Be careful.”

“Don’t go charging in recklessly. If you really die, I’ll laugh at you.”

Chi You followed the secretary to the office. The moment she opened the door, a freezing aura of death swept toward her.

Even with a protective talisman on her, Chi You could still sense the astonishingly dense aura of death inside.

This place had to be the site of countless deaths.

“You’re here?” Fu Shaohuai sat in his swivel chair, idly spinning a pen in his hand as he asked the question in a flat voice.

“Mm.” Chi You walked in and reached into her pocket to touch the protective talisman.

This talisman would probably be ruined here today.

The aura of death inside was even heavier and more sinister.

“What did you call me here for?” Chi You stopped before the desk and asked calmly.

“My child called you here.” Fu Shaohuai stroked the little dress before him and spoke in an indifferent tone.

His child—he must have been referring to one of the little ghosts he kept.

“Oh? It came back to complain?” Chi You gave a mocking laugh.

“That little thing really is petty.”

After saying this, Chi You shifted her gaze to the clothes in his hand.

“Tell it to be more broad-minded. And it really ought to lose some weight.”

“It’s so fat you can hardly tell it’s a little girl. It should consume less of other people’s vital energy.”

“What a gluttonous little ghost.”

After finishing, Chi You noticed the blood seeping through the bandage on his arm.

“It wants another bowl of your blood?”

“Such stinginess.” Chi You sighed. She walked over to the sofa, sat down, took out her phone, and opened an app.

She first contacted Jiang Pan and exchanged for two protective items.

At the same time, Chi You took out the bell Zheng Hong had given her. For some reason, she could toy with it in her hand without producing the slightest sound.

“Coming to you whenever it gets angry—what a badly behaved little baby.” Chi You stroked the bell and sighed.

Hearing these words, the little ghost became even angrier.

The aura of death in the office grew heavier. Not only that, even the atmosphere around them changed.

The lights began flickering, as though announcing the little ghost’s fury.

“Oh my, it gets angry after only a few words. What an ill-behaved baby.” Chi You sighed. She continued to toy with the bell, occasionally glancing at her phone screen.

Messages from Jiang Pan arrived one after another. He was bringing Meng Shuyin toward the office.

The little ghost Chi You had angered earlier today finally appeared. It materialized directly in front of her.

Its skin was bluish-purple, its pupils pitch-black, and even its teeth were hideous. Its long hair had been tied up.

It wore a pink dress, but its body was so fat that the dress had burst apart.

The moment it appeared, Chi You looked at it with undisguised disdain.

“You’re so fat. You’ve even ripped your dress.”

“Shut up!” Hearing those cutting words, the little ghost immediately tried to devour Chi You.

But before its chubby little hand could touch her, the protective talisman on Chi You’s body sent it flying backward.

Fu Shaohuai frowned at the sight. He stopped bothering with the dress, rose from behind the desk, and said with a frown, “You have a protective talisman.”

“You’re wearing one around your neck and another around your wrist. Isn’t it perfectly normal for me to wear a few as well?” Chi You crossed her legs the other way and spoke in a leisurely tone.

Fu Shaohuai reached up and touched the pendant around his neck. She really did notice everything.

“These little tricks of yours aren’t much to look at.”

“Whether they’re worth looking at or not won’t be clear until later.” Chi You looked at him and spoke slowly.

[Jiang Pan: We’re almost at the office.]

After seeing the message, Chi You stopped sitting around. She took out a yellow talisman and pressed it directly onto the little ghost’s forehead.

The instant the paper touched the ghost, it let out a howl of agony.

The yellow talisman was immensely powerful. It burned away the clothes on the ghost’s body, as well as the beautifully styled hair it had painstakingly arranged.

The little ghost’s wretched cries rang through the office.

“Ahhh—!”

“It hurts! It hurts so much!”

It flew wildly about, trying to shake off the talisman, but once the paper was attached, it could not possibly be removed without human intervention.

In the end, the little ghost flew straight toward Fu Shaohuai, its voice distorted with panic.

“Take it off! Take it off me!”

At that moment, the office door opened. Meng Shuyin and Jiang Pan entered, each holding yellow talismans.

They were both startled when they saw the little ghost before Fu Shaohuai.

There was a ghost being kept here too.

No wonder Fu Corporation had risen from bankruptcy to the pinnacle of success in only five years. So this was what it had relied on.

Meng Shuyin selected a talisman and hurled it forward, but Fu Shaohuai quickly blocked it.

“What do you think you’re doing?” Fu Shaohuai demanded coldly as he looked at them.

“To fulfill the dean’s dying wish.” Chi You rose from the sofa and looked at him calmly.

“What wish could a dead man possibly have? You must have been deceived.” Fu Shaohuai stared at the three of them and questioned them sternly.

Then he offered them an inducement.

“If you follow me, I guarantee you endless wealth.”

“The dean’s wish is for us to deal with you and allow his wife and children to rest in peace,” Chi You said.
