He Ming could tell at a glance that Shi Huan was lying, but he didn't expose it. Instead, he raised his hand and knocked on the table and said, "Then sit down and have something to eat together. If you don't want to drink, I'll have someone remove you."
After hearing this, Shi Huan had no reason to refuse and had no choice but to sit down.
This meal was like sitting on pins and needles, and naturally he had no appetite to taste the food. Shi Huan only moved his chopsticks a few times and then put them down.
He Ming had a great appetite and tasted all the dishes on the table. Finally, he wiped his mouth gracefully with a napkin and then spoke, "It's getting late. Shall I take Mrs. An back?"
"Don't bother Mr. He."
Shi Huan forced a smile and tried his best to maintain the surface etiquette.
Seeing this, He Ming didn't force it, as if it was just a polite inquiry.
"good."
The two of them stood not too far apart, just an arm's length apart. The corner of He Ming's eyes fell on Shi Huan, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The next moment, the cell phone in his pocket rang, "What's the matter?"
When he first spoke, his voice was still somewhat cheerful.
But as time went by, the smile on his face disappeared little by little, and even his brows were tightly knit together, as if he had encountered something difficult.
"Are you sure you saw a ghost? Suppress the news and don't let any media spread it."
He lowered his voice and spoke with a somewhat commanding tone.
When Shi Huan heard the word ghost, he turned his head and looked at He Ming with a bit of doubt in his eyes.
He Ming hung up the phone and wanted to lift his legs and leave, but he still turned around and looked at Shi Huan.
"Something happened over there in the barren mountains in the suburbs. If it's convenient, could Mrs. An come with me to have a look?"
Shi Huan thought for a while and finally nodded.
In fact, if Barren Mountain could be solved earlier, she would no longer have to find reasons to stay away from He Ming.
He Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and the worry in his eyes immediately dissipated a lot.
"With your intervention, we can definitely solve this problem. If we weren't worried about being photographed and some bad rumors spread, there would be no need to be so anxious."
He Ming explained aloud, as he was afraid that Shi Huan would think too much.
Shi Huan naturally knew that if the photos were taken by the media and spread, the future expectations of the resort would be greatly reduced. Since he decided to cooperate, he naturally wanted to minimize the risk.
"It doesn't matter, just lead the way and I'll ask the driver to follow you."
Although Shi Huan decided to go see him together, Shi Huan had no intention of being alone with him.
The smile on He Ming's face froze for a moment, then returned to normal. He waited with Shi Huan for the driver to come out of the basement, opened the door for her personally, and then returned to his car.
The two cars drove out one after another. He Ming, who was sitting in the black car, looked at the car behind him through the rearview mirror. He raised his hand with interest and drew a cage, locking the car tightly.
Inside the frame he painted.
Shi Huan, who was concentrating on preparing the ghost-catching prop, had no idea that he had stepped into the enemy's trap.
She opened the bag she carried with her and handed the driver a talisman, telling him to keep it close to her body and stay in the car for a while. No matter what she saw, don't come out.
"Young Madam."
The driver hesitated a little. If something happened to the young lady, how should he explain to the old man and the young lady?
"Just listen to me. You can't help me by following me anyway. I still have to save you. If anything happens to me, you can still call me for help."
Shi Huan's words were meant to appease the driver. After all, when he joined the industry, his master had warned him that when catching ghosts, he was not allowed to bring in outsiders to watch.
Firstly, it is to protect their safety, and secondly, it is also to prevent evil spirits from harming people.
The driver nodded in agreement after hearing what he said, put the talisman in his pocket before the traffic light turned green, and then drove to follow.
The barren hills on the outskirts are still quite a distance from the city center, but because it was night and there weren't many cars, it only took two hours to get there.
He Ming got out of the car first, looked around and then walked to the back. Just as he was about to help Shi Huan open the door, she got off the car from the other side.
"I'll just go up the mountain by myself. Mr. He, please wait here with the driver!"
Shi Huan was carrying a cloth bag, which was filled with stuff needed to exorcise ghosts.
Because I didn't know what was in this barren mountain, I took what I could with me.
When He Ming heard this, he immediately frowned and refused in a serious tone, "No, how can I let you, a girl, go up the mountain? Although I can't help, don't forget that I still have my ancestor Qiulai.
The talisman seal will definitely not hold you back."
Shi Huan was still doubtful about Fu Zhuan for a while, but when he heard what he said, he couldn't think of an excuse to refuse him, "Okay, but if there is any danger, you should run away first."
"Well, it's all up to you."
Hearing this, He Ming had a bright smile on his face and nodded hurriedly.
Shi Huan turned away with some discomfort, staring at the barren mountain in front of him with his beautiful eyes.
The terrain here is really good, surrounded by mountains and rivers. Looking at it with the naked eye, I can't find anything wrong.
"Let's go!"
He Ming turned on the flashlight and walked ahead, not forgetting to shine a light on the way for Shi Huan behind him.
The compass in Shi Huan's hand turned around, but there was nothing unusual, and the look on her face became much more relaxed.
"Pause."
After calling out to He Ming who was walking in front, Shi Huan formed a hand seal and muttered a spell.
Then two talismans flew out of his sleeves. Without using fire, the talismans burned on their own.
As the ashes fell to the ground, Shi Huan's eyes flashed, and those lively eyes were a little brighter than usual.
The breeze blew by, fluttering Shi Huan's Taoist robe, and his black hair was fluttering at the corners. His cold face was like a snow lotus on a high mountain. It was so otherworldly and intimidating that it was impossible to think of any dirty thoughts.
He Ming's pupils shrank, and the interest in his eyes became more and more intense.
In the night, something is slowly taking shape.
Shi Huan used magic to allow his eyes to quickly capture things that ordinary people couldn't see at night.
She looked around and flipped the compass in her hand. Suddenly her hand froze and her eyes were firmly fixed on the southwest direction.
Others may not see any difference, but in her eyes, she does see a wisp of black air coming out from the depths of the mountain. That breath makes her very uncomfortable, and it is definitely not a good thing.
"You wait here."
Sensing that the visitor was unkind, she frowned suddenly and gave a sharp warning.
But He Ming didn't respond. He followed Shi Huan closely, with a somewhat evil face, rarely showing such a serious expression.
"I brought you here. If something happens, how can I explain it to the An family?"
