Chapter 98: Even when their kind are doing bad things, they are still quite clever.
The door opened, and Gu Qingyi and Yanran walked in.
"What are you doing here?"
Yanran's gaze fell on the teacup, and she was instantly attracted by the rising yang energy, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
We're starving, and you guys are serving us bubble tea?
Those evil rich people!
The fishing expert quickly poured them tea: "Have a taste."
"Did you come by smelling the aroma?" Gu Bai asked.
"You heartless bastard." Yanran finished her glass in one gulp, sprawled on the sofa, enjoying the yang energy nourishing her ghostly body: "Qingyi was thinking of taking you to Wudang Mountain for a trip and to eat something nice, but I never expected you to sneak off and eat behind our backs."
"What do you mean by 'cheating behind your backs'?" Gu Bai glanced at her and handed a cup to Gu Qingyi: "Why are you suddenly going to Wudang Mountain?"
"We were all injured in the battle of the Wine Pool and Meat Forest. Old Turtle is still unconscious and has gone back to Wudang Mountain to recuperate."
Gu Qingyi explained, "You were injured too, so I'll share some of my share with you."
As expected of my favorite female crab, even her yang energy is focused on me.
Gu Bai took a sip of tea: "Then let's go. I've never been to Wudang Mountain before. My good neighbor, would you like to come?"
"Let's go together, I also want to burn some incense," the fishing expert quickly said. "It's a good opportunity to check out the properties over there."
"You still have businesses there?" Gu Bai asked in astonishment.
Isn't this business a bit too big?
"I opened a hotel over there, so everyone can stay there. It'll save you the trouble," the fishing expert laughed.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you," Gu Bai said.
"What's this?" Gu Qingyi picked up the invitation: "Yunwu Tea House?"
"We still have time, so we can go to Wudang Mountain for a few days and then go there," Gu Bai said.
Yanran said enviously, "Why is all the food being sent to you?"
"Because I'm not a law enforcement officer, and law enforcement officers can't accept bribes," Gu Bai said.
With your law enforcement status, who would dare to deliver things to you? That would be walking into a trap.
It's better to be your own boss.
"Is it too late for me to betray them now?" Yanran asked.
She really wanted to defect; she couldn't make ends meet at the police station, and she had no salary. She simply couldn't take it anymore.
Gu Qingyi rubbed her temples and said, "For the sake of social stability..."
"You can lie to yourself, but don't lie to me." Yanran rolled her eyes at her.
The fishing expert took a sip of tea: "Mr. Gu, I'll be going now. We can discuss the company cooperation in detail next time."
"Okay, I'll see you off," Gu Bai said, standing up.
After seeing off my kind neighbor, I returned to the sofa.
Gu Qingyi asked curiously, "Are you planning to cooperate with him?"
"Yeah, he's the real boss. I'm just a figurehead; I don't know anything about running a company."
Gu Bai said frankly, "He wants to start a carving company with me. His business alone is enough for me to make a fortune."
"His idea is good, but it's also a powerful alliance."
Yanran drank another cup of tea, then picked up the invitation to examine it: "If even the lowest grade copper tea has such abundant yang energy, then the highest grade jade tea must be soaring high!"
The Bodhisattva picked up his teacup, inhaling the yang energy: "Shall we go together then?"
Gu Bai looked at the tea canister, which contained ten tea bags, all of which were copper tea.
He admired his peers; they were truly capable of running a pyramid scheme, dabbling in art, and even cultivating an air of refinement.
At least, the White Bone Demon couldn't appreciate such refined tastes; she didn't know how to savor tea.
"We'll see when the time comes. I don't even know if I can bring anyone with me," Gu Bai said.
Yunwu Tea House only invites business owners; a poor guy like Bodhisattva doesn't qualify.
He was just taking advantage of his good neighbor's connections.
咚咚
There was another knock on the door.
Yanran opened the door, and there were Li Hongyi, Yang Xi, Guo Jin and others, carrying a box of milk, a box of bread and some fruit.
"Why are you all here?" Gu Bai asked in surprise.
"I came to visit you; your injuries are quite severe." Li Hongyi put down her things. "By the way, let's talk about who's staying behind."
"Stay behind?"
"After the battle at the Wine Pool and Meat Forest, the Toad and the Musician escaped. The new city area is still not safe, so naturally someone has to stay behind," Li Hongyi said.
Taking the opportunity, Gu Bai asked, "Didn't that old bastard call himself the King of Ghosts? How come some of them managed to escape?"
"Old Turtle does have some strength, but he's not invincible. At that time, a White Bone Demon appeared, whose strength was no weaker than Old Turtle's."
Li Hongyi recounted, "One thing is very strange. The White Bone Demon was exhausted. She could have joined us, but she chose to fight us head-on and throw her life away."
"Sending someone to their death? There's such a bizarre thing?" Gu Bai asked in surprise.
A small flaw will inevitably be noticed, but it doesn't matter anymore.
Yang Xi said, "These things are in the past. Now there is the theft of the Qi and Blood Pill factory, which also needs to be dealt with."
"The Qi and Blood Pill factory was robbed? Who dares to be so bold?" Gu Bai asked in shock.
The decadent lifestyle is gone, and I was even thinking of buying some Qi and Blood Pills, but they're all sold out now?
Yang Xi said, "The Shadow Demon was just a medium for the previous wine pool and meat forest; its true body went to the Qi and Blood Pill factory."
"When the shadowy figure first appeared and lured us away, we suspected that it was around that time that he infiltrated the police station and discovered the factory's location."
"So, the Shadow Demon's initial target was the Qi and Blood Pill factory?" Gu Bai understood.
No wonder the previous two monsters didn't participate; they wouldn't risk their lives unless they were absolutely certain of victory.
Musicians, sculptors, toads, and even Blood Wine Cloud River were all exploited by them.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he used his identity as a member of the Public Security Bureau to infiltrate the factory.
At that time, the entire security department of the bureau was mobilized, and it was a critical moment in the battle. No one could expose the Shadow Ghost's false identity.
Once they enter the factory, it's like rats entering a granary, feasting and eating their fill.
How abundant must the yang energy be in the blood-nourishing pills produced by a factory?
Even though the clones of Tai Sui are not the original body, they are still fed until they are plump and strong.
Of course, if this could be accomplished, it would be two benefits. Unfortunately, the two men were wary of each other and neither of them was greedy.
Sure enough, even when they're doing bad things, they're still quite clever.
"What kind of tea is this? Copper tea?" Li Hongyi poured herself a cup of tea, noticing the invitation: "Yunwu Tea House? Another one?"
"We don't know what it is yet," Gu Bai said.
"What kind of strange creature could grow such tea?" Li Hongyi frowned.
"We'll see when we get there. I've decided to go with Gu Bai. You guys can go to the factory then," Yanran said first.
Gu Qingyi coughed lightly: "I also plan to..."
咚咚
A knock came at the door.
"Who is it again?" Gu Bai wondered. Almost everyone had arrived. Could it be Gu Xiaojiao and the others?
Gu Qingyi opened the door, and a deliveryman stood there: "Hello, is Gu Bai home? You have a package."
"My package? I didn't order anything online."
Gu Bai took the paper bag with a puzzled look. When he opened it, an invitation was revealed—Yunwu Tea House!
"Wow, I've really made something of myself! I even got an invitation from the boss!"
Upon opening the invitation, a slip of paper fell out.
Gu Qingyi picked up the note: "The tentacles of Blood Wine have extended to Jiangcheng, to those two in the city. They will also go to Yunwu Tea House. I don't know what their true form is, but you have been targeted. You may not know me, but the Public Security Bureau definitely knows me. Please help me pass this on to the Public Security Bureau—Musician."
"What? It was sent by a musician?"
The group gathered around, their brows furrowed as they looked at the note. "What does she mean? Is she trying to lure us to the Cloud Mist Tea House? Are there two ghosts in the city who want to go there too?"
Gu Bai narrowed his eyes. Did this person know they had been betrayed, so they betrayed their former allies?
