Villain: Starting as a Corrupt Tycoon's Wife

Page 97

After two consecutive shots, Ling Yun was still full of energy and had no time to recover. Seeing that his assistant was engrossed in reading, he asked her to take over the work that Bai Xin had not finished.

Late at night, not long after Ling Yun fell asleep, there was a knock on the door.

The sound was soft and rhythmic.

Ling Yun instantly woke up, but the women beside him were fast asleep, as if they hadn't heard anything.

Thump thump thump, thump thump thump...

The knocking on the door felt like a blow to Ling Yun's heart, making him feel somewhat depressed.

Ling Yun sensed the presence outside the door, got off the bed, and opened the door.

There was nothing outside, and the curtains moved on their own without any wind, causing a pen on the table to flutter.

The pen slowly rolled onto the white paper and then stopped, as if someone had done it on purpose.

In the past, even with the strength of the Innate Realm, Ling Yun would have felt uneasy, but now he was much calmer.

He sat down at the table, picked up the pen, and straightened the blank paper in front of him.

He picked up the pen, held it perpendicular to the table, and whispered, "Pen spirit, pen spirit, you are my past life, and I am your present life. If we are destined, please draw a circle on the paper!"

The pen moved, and almost frantically drew circles on the white paper... No, those weren't circles, but overlapping hearts!

What the heck is this?

Is he a pervert?

"Are you Lin Wan?"

[1]

Unless you obtain her "obsession item", summoning the Ouija board will result in summoning a different Ouija board spirit each time - of course, 99.999% of people cannot summon it.

It seems that the recording pen was her obsession.

"How did you die? Can you tell me now?"

[No, restrictions apply]

"Is there any way to break this limitation?"

[destroy……]

Before the word "destruction" was even fully written, cracks appeared on the pen, and the black characters on the white paper gradually turned blood red.

"Should I destroy this pen?"

Ling Yun didn't know much about Ouija boards or similar games. In "Wi-Fi Lockdown Technique," there was very little description of ghosts in the summoning game; he only mentioned it briefly, saying, "If you don't court death, you won't die."

He crushed the pen in his hand, and with a cry of "Ouch!", the commotion on the white paper ceased.

Ling Yun turned his head and saw a beautiful, bright-eyed girl standing beside him.

Lin Wan slumped to the cold floor, clutching her forehead, her short, ear-length hair clinging messily to her slightly flushed cheeks. Her tall, slender figure, standing at 173 centimeters, curled slightly in pain, her well-tailored beige cardigan accentuating her full curves, rising and falling gently with her rapid breathing. Behind her glasses, her almond-shaped eyes, veiled with a thin layer of moisture, stared unblinkingly at Ling Yun.

Ling Yun's gaze swept over her trembling body, noticing that her legs, encased in jeans, instinctively clenched and curled up. The young man then shifted his gaze back to her pretty face.

Her thin-rimmed glasses slipped down to the tip of her nose, revealing the red marks on her nose bridge.

"Well, it hurts..."

Her voice still trembled with pain, but her gaze remained stubbornly fixed on him.

Name: Lin Wan

Age: 22 (before death)

[Value]: 173, D+

[Affection]: 95 (Falling in love)

[Realm]: Ferocious (Marrow Cleansing)

[Special]: Echoes of Memories (Purple)

[Identity]: Female lead in "I'm Really Not a Ghost Hunter"

Echoes of Memory: By touching a specific place, object, or person, one can read the strong "memory traces" they carry, thereby perceiving a vague fragment about the future.

Aside from the eerie ghostly aura emanating from her, Lin Wan's skin color and overall demeanor were completely unrelated to "ghosts," to the point that even upon close inspection, it was impossible to tell whether she was a human or a ghost.

Perhaps this is the unique characteristic of "Ouija Board"?

Ling Yun extended his hand to her, and Lin Wan took it with pursed lips, then he pulled her up.

"Thank you, Chairman Ling."

"you know me?"

"How could we not know you? Almost all the young women in our company know you."

"sit down."

"okay."

Lin Wan sat obediently on the sofa, staring intently at Ling Yun.

Ling Yun crossed his arms and sat with his legs crossed.

"Tell me, how did you die in the end, and why didn't you seek revenge after becoming a ghost?"

Chapter 158 Lin Wan

Unlike Lin Wan's seemingly aloof demeanor, she becomes quite talkative once she starts speaking.

That makes sense. Would someone who isn't a chatterbox buy a voice recorder and talk to themselves every day?

She overheard Song Wen's conversation with the mysterious person, and learned not only about their money laundering activities, but also that the other party wanted to create a big scandal.

If this got out, it would be a devastating blow to Song Wen, so she had no choice but to take drastic measures.

After Lin Wan cleverly hid the recording pen in the electrical box, Song Wen followed him to the stairwell.

Seeing that Song Wen didn't bring any sharp weapons, Lin Wan assumed that Song Wen just wanted to talk to her and felt a little relieved.

To her surprise, Song Wen was much more skilled than she had imagined, easily subduing her and then strangling her with a rope.

"The feeling of being strangled was so awful!" Lin Wan recalled with lingering fear. "My vision went black, and when it came back to light, I found myself in a graveyard! At first, I was a little scared, but when I saw my own grave, I was very sad and cried for a long time, which scared away people who were passing by in the middle of the night."

Lingyun placed his hand on her jeans.

Lin Wan didn't notice his little action and continued to tell the story vividly: "I secretly went to see my dad and mom, but soon, some voice was calling me back to Fengle Building."

"Is it a voice recorder?" Ling Yun asked.

"Yes, but I wasn't sure at the time. I was just worried that Song Wen might find out about the recording pen. After I quietly floated back to the 14th floor, I found that the recording pen was fine, so I was relieved."

"I intended to take the voice recorder with me when I left, but I couldn't take it with me no matter what I did."

"Then I saw the Taoist priest invited by the Su family arrive, followed by Song Wen."

"That Taoist priest is quite powerful; I am no match for him."

"After that, I was unable to get close to the Fengle Building, and Song Wen also had the talisman given to me by that Taoist priest. I tried to get close to her several times but was bounced away."

"Song Wen seemed to have sensed something, and from then on she became more careful, even covering her front door with talismans."

"Just when I was feeling down, I saw a family playing a game of Ouija board not far away. I felt a connection to them and it seemed that I could somehow become a spirit of the Ouija board."

"When I saw that they were all girls, I agreed. After they asked me to leave, I felt that I had become a little stronger."

“From then on, I was invited over by different girls almost every day, but I’m different from those bad ghosts. I’m not scary, and I try my best to answer the questions I can. So I’ve accumulated a lot of good karma over the past six months. Now I can enter the Fengle Building, but I still can’t take the recording pen with me.”

"After that, Bai Xin and the others summoned me."

"She was really bold. Other girls didn't dare to ask me anything related to me, but she asked me directly how I died."

"I also went along with it and passed on the news about the recording pen."

"The price was a bit high. After leaving this time, I didn't accumulate any good karma; instead, I became much weaker."

Ling Yun understood. Lin Wan had tried to take revenge, but her methods were not as skillful as the Taoist's.

Like Zhang Xiaoya, she was bound by a Taoist priest, and they were both the female lead in the same script. So it seems they must be the same Taoist priest.

Most of the legitimate Taoist priests on the market have been recruited by the government. According to Cao Hong, if they can't send away the ghosts, they should try to help them pass on to the afterlife. Using certain methods to seal ghosts is something the government doesn't really want to see.

In other words, this Taoist priest should be the "villain" in Sun He's storyline.

Do you remember what that Taoist priest looked like?

"Remember to remember!"

You can tell from how well Lin Wan draws emojis that she's a truly talented artist.

Lingyun brought paper and pen, and the Ouija board quickly drew the Taoist's image on the paper.

"Look, they are master and apprentice, but the apprentice looks so old he's almost in his grave."

Ling Yun looked at the paper, which depicted an old man with a white beard and a Taoist priest with black hair and a black beard.

"The white-bearded man is the master of the purple-robed Taoist priest. His cultivation level is very high. I am far from being his match!"

Lin Wan's true strength is comparable to the Marrow Cleansing Realm, which means the white-bearded old man is at least a master of the Innate Realm. A Taoist of this level, especially in the capital, should be known among his peers.

He had originally planned to take a picture of the portrait on the white paper and send it to Xu Xuan, but after thinking about it, he sent it to Cao Hong instead.

Cao Hong conducted an investigation in Taoyuan Village a while ago but found nothing. In addition, he had something to do at work, so he went back first.

He suggested that Lingyun visit Taoyuan Village more often when he had time, because, in his words, the village's feng shui was just too damn good!

In other words, if this were to happen in a feudal society, perhaps a vassal king would emerge!

"Chairman Ling, I know these two people!"

"Brother Cao, have you seen them?"

"I haven't met them, but they're quite famous, and they're the undisputed scum of our circle. The white-bearded old man is called Jia Zi. He was already at the Innate Realm more than twenty years ago, so he's quite capable. The purple-robed Taoist is his disciple, called Xiao Si, whose real name is unknown. He was raised by Jia Zi since he was a child. Jia Zi has made connections with many powerful people and does shady work for them, but he doesn't kill people. He only deals with ghosts, so the higher-ups turn a blind eye to him. However, recently, he's disappeared somewhere, and nobody can contact him."

“That makes sense.” Ling Yun observed Lin Wan’s expression while speaking on speakerphone. “Brother Cao, please ask around in your circle. If you have any news about him, please let me know.”

"No problem, Chairman Ling!"

After hanging up the phone, Ling Yun spoke to Xu Xuan again and also informed Liu Ye.

Jia Zi is both a Taoist priest and a martial artist; perhaps Alliance Leader Liu knows him.

There's no word from Liu Ye yet, but Xu Xuan has said he'll use his connections to help him find him.

"Chairman Ling, I'll go and inquire for you. I'll let you know as soon as I find out anything."

"Thanks a lot."

"Mr. Ling, what are you saying?" Xu Xuan changed the subject. "However, there's something I'd like to remind you of."

"explain."

"There is a difference between humans and ghosts. Although those two ladies of special status meant you no harm, but..."

"I know."

It would be impolite to continue after saying this much.

Xu Xuan said no more and respectfully hung up the phone.

Lingyun knew what he was worried about. After all, when a ghost and a human were to combine, the ghost would definitely absorb the yang energy of the living, and Xiaodie and Xiaoya were no exception.

But he has plenty of essence and yang energy, so even if several times more female ghosts come, there won't be any problem.

"Lin Wan, why don't you pick a room and stay there for now?"

"Is it okay?" the girl asked, sounding somewhat excited.

"Of course, there are plenty of rooms here anyway."

"Thank you, Chairman Ling!" Lin Wan raised her hands and made a heart shape with her hands above her head.

"It's getting late, I should rest."

Chapter 159 Sailor Suit [Bonus Chapter for National Day]

Around eight o'clock in the morning, Tao Yuting brought back good news.
