There were still many tourists eating in the hall. When they saw Liu Haoming and the other three following the lady boss upstairs, their eyes flashed with different degrees of surprise. They could roughly guess what Liu Haoming was going to do.
"Brother Huang, don't you want to follow them? The lady boss's daughter is probably not right in the head. If something happens to that young man, you'll be in trouble too, "a tourist said to Huang Xing.
Huang Xing hesitated for a moment and said, "It's okay. I've known the lady boss for a long time. Our tour group used to work with her farmhouse. We know each other very well. Don't worry."
Hearing that, the tourists didn't say anything else. After the suicide incident, they actually felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts. They didn't want to stay here anymore, but obviously, they couldn't change to a farmhouse now.
…
The four of them followed the lady boss to the fourth floor. The dark-skinned boss, who looked like a farmer, was waiting at the stairs. When he saw Liu Haoming, he immediately showed joy on his face and quickly walked over to him.
"Thank you for being willing to help us. When it's over, we'll definitely pay you handsomely …"
"I haven't agreed yet." Liu Haoming shook his head and interrupted, "You have to tell me what you need me to do first. I'll decide according to the situation."
Hearing that, the boss and lady boss looked at each other. The couple's expression was a little awkward.
"Young man, you don't have to do anything. We'll invite a Taoist priest to perform the ritual for our daughter. You just have to be by our daughter's side when the Taoist priest performs the ritual," the lady boss said.
Liu Haoming was confused, "That's it?"
"Yes."
"You guys are very strange!" Li Zhengkang couldn't help but interrupt, "You can perform the ritual. Why do you have to let my friend be by her side?"
"Because the ritual requires someone to be by her side," the lady boss explained.
"Isn't it easy to find someone to accompany her? Can't you find someone else?" Li Zhengkang continued to question.
The lady boss found it difficult to say, "Others really can't. It must be this young man …"
Dong Xue stared at the Lady Boss for a while and suddenly said coldly, "I hope you can tell the truth and don't try to hide anything. After all, you are asking for help. If you don't even want to tell the truth, we don't need to help you."
This sentence was approved by Liu Haoming. He nodded. "Yes, I'm willing to help if I can, but I don't want to help carelessly, so you'd better tell me the whole story."
At this point, the boss had no other choice. He sighed dejectedly and seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. He was forced to speak his mind.
"Alright, I'll tell you the truth. Things are a little complicated. It's a long story."
…
"My daughter's name is Jiang Yuqing. She's a senior in high school. She's an excellent student, lively and cute. Her teachers and classmates all like her very much."
"But half a month ago, Little Qing suddenly contracted a strange illness. She became extremely lethargic and weak. The school teacher quickly called us. After we brought Little Qing home, Little Qing told us that a man who calls himself Brother Xun has been coming to find her in her dreams."
"That Brother Xun confessed to her in her dreams, saying that he likes Little Qing. Little Qing was very afraid at first, feeling that she was being pestered by something unclean. She was very resistant to Brother Xun, but she couldn't get rid of him. Every time Brother Xun came, he would forcefully take Little Qing on a tour in her dreams and eat all the delicacies in the world."
"And every time she woke up from her dreams, Little Qing would be extremely weak and listless, as if her Yang energy had been sucked away by a ghost. We were very worried about her and took her to the hospital, but even the hospital couldn't find anything wrong with Little Qing. They only prescribed a few tonics for Little Qing."
"During this period of time, Brother Xun came to find Little Qing more frequently. Little Qing's lethargic symptoms also became more and more serious. After a while, I don't know what kind of spell Brother Xun cast on Little Qing. One day, Little Qing's temperament suddenly changed. Not only did she no longer reject Brother Xun, she even said that she and Brother Xun were truly in love and didn't allow us to interfere with her anymore."
"But how could we not interfere with her? Seeing Little Qing become thinner and weaker day by day, our hearts ached like they were bleeding. Little Qing was originally such a kind and intelligent child, but now she's become like this. If I can find Brother Xun in reality, I'll even have the heart to kill him!"
At this point, the boss's face was filled with grief and anger. His fists were clenched tightly, showing how much he hated Brother Xun.
Liu Haoming didn't interrupt him and allowed him to continue.
"After she came back from the hospital, Little Qing couldn't go to school anymore, so we could only bring her home. My wife opened a farmhouse and took care of her while I searched everywhere for experts and hermits, hoping to find a powerful expert who could save Little Qing.
"The Daoist Yu you saw on the rooftop just now was someone I invited from Mount Longhu. Daoist Yu is a truly powerful person. At the same time, he's also a supernatural being. After I told him about Little Qing's symptoms, he immediately determined that Little Qing was possessed by an evil spirit. I spent a lot of money to invite him to our house. As long as he performed the ritual, Little Qing wouldn't be harassed by Brother Xun anymore.
"But Little Qing's mind had already been bewitched by Brother Xun's spell. No matter what, she wouldn't let Daoist Yu perform the ritual on her. We forced her to do it, and she threatened to commit suicide by jumping off a building. That's how that happened. That's the whole story."
The boss said that his daughter was being harassed by a strange man in her dreams. This was definitely a family scandal that would affect Jiang Yuqing's reputation. If it wasn't necessary, he really didn't want to tell outsiders.
Li Zhengkang wondered, "You've said so much, but you still haven't explained why you insisted that Brother Hao accompany your daughter to perform the ritual."
"Oh, oh, I've overlooked that." The boss added, "It's like this. Some time ago, when Little Qing was still resisting Brother Xun, Brother Xun told her that if she wanted to get rid of him completely, Little Qing would have to find a man who was more handsome than him. Otherwise, he would never let Little Qing go."
"To think that there was such a thing!"
Li Zhengkang was very surprised. He now understood why the girl had said that his looks weren't good enough. It turned out that she was telling the truth and wasn't deliberately trying to backstab him.
The lady boss said helplessly, "Even the country is starting to set up a comprehensive superhuman university. In this day and age, what's impossible?"
"Daoist Yu also said that the evil spirit who was harassing Little Qing might have an extraordinary obsession with looks. In order to crush the evil spirit's obsession, having a handsome man perform the ritual would have a better effect."
Liu Haoming and the others were enlightened. They finally understood.
At this moment, Dong Xue suddenly spoke up, "Since you've already sought help from a supernatural being, why didn't you report it to the authorities?"
"Report it to the authorities?"
The lady boss and Liu Haoming were taken aback. "Why would we report it to the authorities?"
