Chapter 599
“Master! Is this shop just going to be abandoned?”
When he left the shop, Ah Kui was very reluctant and asked through clenched teeth.
His so-called Ah Kui Psychic Office, which used to be simply in his own home, now he had easily made some money and wanted to rent a shop and found this place just right, but who knew it was a step too late.
“Don’t worry, this shop is not good, let them warm it up for a few days first, we will come and take over in a few days!”
Master Yu turned his head to look at the shop and smiled blandly, appearing to have a plan?
“You have a solution, Master?”
Ah Kui asked busily.
Master Yu smiled blandly at his words and spoke.
“The shop itself is faulty, we’ll add some material to it, once they start renovating it in less than three days, they will definitely stir them up, and by then they will have to meekly give up the shop!”
“Good! Master has an idea!”
Ah Kui said excitedly, and immediately followed Master Yu and quickly left the place.
…..
Inside the shop, the contract was signed very smoothly, 200,000 for five years’ rent, which was already a price that Master Qian was very satisfied with, so naturally there was not much hesitation.
“Aiya, finally a piece of my heart is relieved!”
Looking at the signed lease contract, Boss Qian breathed a sigh of relief and then laughed.
“But a contract is a contract, there are still some things I have to remind you of!”
“There’s no harm in talking about it, Boss Qian!”
Lin Ran laughed, generally speaking, once the contract was signed, the other party basically wouldn’t care about anything else, and as long as the money was received, no one would care about anything else as long as it wasn’t their problem.
But now the money boss is seems to have other things to remind.
“I see that you are all quite young, and I don’t want to screw you over! So there are some things I have to tell you!”
Boss Qian said, while leading the crowd to a place that seemed to be an office area, pointing inside and saying.
“The last tenant here ran a flower company, so there were very many of these potted plants throughout the company at that time!”
Lin Ran and the others looked and indeed found that within the office area, there were a dozen potted plants of all sizes, both large and small, with the largest of them being as big as a washbasin.
The plants inside these pots had all withered and died without exception.
“I say, Boss Qian, this potted plant is dead, so what’s the point of reminding the previous tenant that he still needs these broken pots!”
Wang Yifeng said in disbelief.
“No!
Qian the shopkeeper waved his hand and said busily.
“This shop has problems as you know, and this potted plant has problems too!”
Said Moneykeeper, looking around, and then lowered his voice and said.
“To tell you the truth, in this shop, no potted plant can be planted alive, within three days it will absolutely wither and die, as if it has been beaten with paraquat, I don’t know if you have looked carefully, except for the shop entrance there are still green plants, but wherever inside this shop, there is not a single green plant!”
Speaking of this, Qian the shopkeeper was busy pointing out of the floor-to-ceiling window and said awkwardly.
“Of course, except for that old banyan tree! So I suspect that there are two worlds inside this shop and in the yard, the old banyan tree in the yard can all grow well, but none of the green plants in the shop can live, so there should be something wrong with this shop!”
Saying this, Boss Qian added mysteriously.
“Also, don’t stay in the shop at night, this place is seriously haunted, several tenants have seen it before and almost got scared out of their minds!”
Said here, money boss busy packing up his things, rushed to the crowd waved his hand.
“Well, I’ve said all that needs to be said, I wish you all good luck!”
With that, Boss Qian left the shop directly without looking back.
“Ranzi, what do you think?”
Wang Yifeng came over and asked Lin Ran.
“Let’s see first!”
Lin Ran returned casually, and immediately turned around the shop.
The shop had only two floors in total, a sort of podium for the office building next to it, and inside the shop, which only had two floors, a small garden had been circled out, the place where the old banyan tree had been planted.
It is rare to find a shop of this structure, not only can you have an office, but you can also have some flowers and plants in the yard, this layout is very much to Lin Ran’s liking.
But if he really wanted to open a company here, then the problem inside this shop became something that had to be solved.
“There really isn’t a single plant in here!”
The three of them went around the shop for half a day and really didn’t find a single living plant, most of the plants had dried up and turned into crumbs when their palms were touched.
“Does anything feel right!”
In his mind, Lin Ran inquired.
“Feelings? Nothing feels, Master Book I’m a divine weapon, not a magic weapon, I can’t help you with such things!”
The pillow book said leisurely.
“Sh*t! How useless!”
Lin Ran said helplessly, then ignoring Pillow-side Book’s complaints, he led the way and went downstairs.
The ground floor corresponded to the entrance of the shop, and inside there was another door that led to the inside of the garden, Lin Ran led the men to the garden and was surprised to find out just how tall the old banyan tree was.
The three of them were like small ants standing under the old banyan tree.
Lin Ran circled around the old banyan tree and found nothing wrong with it, so he immediately came closer and stretched out his palm and pressed it against the trunk of the tree, while sending a strand of true qi into the old banyan tree.
But the result was very helpless, it was just a very ordinary tree.
“Hmm? Something’s not right!”
Lin Ran suddenly felt that something was wrong, when he was probing just now, he seemed to find that this old banyan tree was solid inside!
“According to reason, a tree this big should have been empty inside a long time ago, but it was solid inside, how vigorous it must be!”
Lin Ran was a little surprised in his heart, but that wasn’t much of a problem.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, Lin Ran spotted the problem, and almost at the same time, Wang Yifeng’s voice came from beside him.
“Ranzi, do you think it’s strange, in this courtyard, apart from this old banyan tree, there doesn’t seem to be any other plants!”
“It is indeed very strange!”
Lin Ran nodded his head, he had also noticed this, the entire courtyard, apart from this old banyan tree, there was not even a single weed around, not to mention other trees, it was as if this entire surrounding was the old banyan tree’s turf.
“Brother Lin Ran, do you think this old banyan tree has become a spirit!”
On the side, Luo Qiqi gulped in fear.
Lin Ran laughed at his words, however.
“You’ve seen too many ghost movies, don’t scare yourself, you didn’t hear the birds chirping above this old banyan tree, it should be fine!”
“Then what’s going on here?”
Luo Qiqi asked busily.
Lin Ran smiled and shook his head, saying.
“Exactly what’s going on is unclear, I speculate that it might be a place where life is cut off, but we still have to verify exactly how big the area is.”
“Let’s go, back to the shop!”
Lin Ran greeted, and at once the group returned to the shop.
“Fatty, go and find some green plants at the door, whatever they are, as long as they’re green and alive!”
“Kiki, you come and help, I want to set up a formation!”
Lin Ran instructed, both of them didn’t ask much at the word and immediately went about their work.
Chapter 600
There were not many materials on hand, so Lin Ran could only simply set up a spirit locking formation to lock up the life inside the shop, and at the same time verify whether there was any relationship between the inside of the shop and the courtyard or not.
If there was nothing unusual outside the shop, it meant that the problem was probably inside the shop and the courtyard, and if the shop was sealed off, if there was no problem, it meant that the problem was in the courtyard.
Similarly, if the shop is sealed off and there are still problems with the greenery inside, then the problem is inside the shop.
The formation was very simple to set up, but in order to be as rigorous as possible, Lin Ran still took a lot of effort, a full two hours, before the formation was completely consolidated.
At this time, Wang Yifeng and Luo Qiqi had almost fallen asleep waiting on the sidelines.
“Fatty, where are the green plants?”
Lin Ran walked over and patted Wang Yifeng and asked.
“Green plants? Here, right here!”
Wang Yifeng pointed to a potted plant next to him, which was holding two or three cypress trees that were very common on the roadside.
“Good! It’ll do!”
Lin Ran nodded at this, while putting the green plant right and watering it some more.
“Brother Lin Ran, what do we do now?”
Luo Qiqi, who had all but fallen asleep waiting, couldn’t help but ask when she saw the situation.
“Just wait now and see if something will happen to this green plant!”
Lin Ran said.
“Ah? Waiting?”
Luo Qiqi was a little surprised at his words and pouted.
“How long do we have to wait then, I’ve already contacted the decoration team!”
“Qiqi, there’s no need to rush this!”
Lin Ran said solemnly.
“If there’s really a problem with this shop, we have to fix it before we can get the renovation team to come over, or else they’ll be the ones doing the damage when the time comes!”
“Alright then!”
Luo Qiqi nodded with a pout, and the three of them then left the place, deciding to come back tomorrow to check on the greenery.
…..
Leaving the shop, Lin Ran and the three of them then made their way back inside the clinic.
At this point, it was already past noon, so the three had no choice but to eat something random outside.
The whole afternoon, Lin Ran spent in his storage room, there are many materials left over from the initial set up of the home and the clinic, he was going to organize some of them and set up the shop later.
When Lin Ran came out of the storage room, his whole body was already dizzy with work. When he came to the ground floor and looked at the empty clinic, he was baffled.
“What the hell is this? It’s only four o’clock in the afternoon, why isn’t there a single person!”
Lin Ran wondered, but then he noticed that Wang Yifeng and the others were all in front of the computers in the counter, muttering and wondering what they were doing.
“Hey! What’s going on?”
Lin Ran asked in wonder.
Luo Qiqi turned her head and waved her hand at Lin Ran, gesturing for him to go over.
“What the hell?”
Lin Ran wondered as he walked over, and only once he got close did he realise that they were actually looking at a cake.
That’s right the cake that was used for birthdays.
“Who’s having a birthday?”
Lin Ran wondered, thinking in his mind, his own birthday wasn’t this time either, this guy Fatty had never had a birthday, Qin Bing didn’t seem to be on this day either, so whose was it?
As the thought was going through his mind, Qin Bing on the side was speaking and laughing.
“Hurry up, you choose one, tomorrow is Xiao Nuan’s birthday, we want to give her a surprise tonight!”
“Xiao Nuan’s birthday?”
Lin Ran was stunned at his words, and after thinking back for a moment himself, he realised that tomorrow was really this Nina’s birthday, and he had actually almost forgotten about it.
“You wouldn’t have forgotten, would you?”
Qin Bing and Luo Qiqi immediately looked over, with ill will in their eyes.
“No ….. Of course not, how could I have forgotten!”
Lin Ran scratched his head in embarra*sment and hurriedly pointed at a very nice looking cake on the screen and laughed.
“Just this one, it’s quite nice!”
It was easy to digress from the conversation, and that was when it pa*sed.
“Well, the cake is set! Let’s go and pack up and leave in an hour to pick up the cake then go to the hotel!”
Luo Qiqi laughed.
Lin Ran smiled and glanced at the clinic in wonder and asked with a smile.
“Where’s Li Zheng and the others?”
“They went home and left work early today!”
Qin Bing laughed.
“Eh!”
Lin Ran was helpless, but he didn’t care, everyone was usually quite busy, it was fine to leave work early once in a while.
……
At 6pm, the group arrived at the agreed hotel on time, Luo Qiqi had already booked the room in advance, and the group walked in unhindered.
“What time is Song Nuan coming over?”
Lin Ran asked straight away as soon as they arrived at the private room.
“I just called at five o’clock, Sister Nuan said she was going to find Sister Su Rou and then come over together!”
Luo Qiqi laughed.
Lin Ran nodded, according to the distance from the school to the hotel, he should be able to arrive around six thirty.
However, what none of them expected was that none of them showed up at half past six. Lin Ran was a bit uneasy and immediately called, but Song Nuan’s phone was in a state of no answer.
“Big Sister could be driving and not be able to pick up!”
Wang Yifeng said with relief.
Lin Ran, however, shook his head.
“She’s with Su Rou, couldn’t Su Rou help pick up too?”
Thinking of this, Lin Ran’s heart couldn’t help but seize together.
“Clang clang clang!”
Just when everyone was in a somewhat anxious mood, there was suddenly a knock at the door, which caused everyone’s spirits to shake.
Wang Yifei was busy running to open the door, and it was Su Rou who came in.
“Sister Zou, you are here, we thought something had happened to you!”
Luo Qiqi stepped forward and welcomed Su Rou in, but then the crowd was puzzled, there was no Song Nuan behind her, as long as Su Rou came alone.
“Where is Song Nuan?”
Lin Ran asked busily, and Luo Qiqi and Qin Bing and the others all looked over, with questions in their eyes.
“Xiao Nuan? She didn’t come?”
Su Rou also looked puzzled.
“No! Didn’t she say she was looking for you to come with her?”
Lin Ran asked busily.
Su Rou, however, was dumbfounded.
“No, I called her after cla*s, but there was never any answer, so I thought she had to come in first, so I took a taxi here!”
Su Rou said busily.
“What about Sister Nuan?”
Luo Qiqi and the others instantly had a wave of bad thoughts angry in their hearts.
And Lin Ran even listened with a frown on his face, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
“Dingling bell!”
Just when everyone was a little worried about Song Nuan’s safety, suddenly Lin Ran’s mobile phone was the one that rang.
“Sister Nuan! It’s Sister Nuan calling!”
Seeing the caller ID on it, everyone couldn’t help but sigh in relief, but Lin Ran was the only one with the same gloomy face.
He picked up the phone without speaking, and soon a man’s familiar voice came over the phone.
“Lin Ran, I know it’s you! Don’t think that if you don’t speak, I won’t know you’re there!”
“Where’s Song Nuan!”
Lin Ran’s face was grim and his eyes were filled with killing intent, this voice was too familiar to him, it was none other than Yue Bu of the Yue family.
“B*****d! What the F**k did you do to Big Sister!”
Wang Yifeng also heard it and glanced at Qin Bing next to him, rushing to the phone in a fury.
Qin Bing was also a bit confused at this point, Yue Bu, who she remembered as being quite kind, had actually kidnapped Song Nuan.
“Yue Bu! Don’t do anything stupid, let Song Nuan go!”
Qin Bing shouted.
However how could their words be useful at this point!
Only Yue Bu’s laughter could be heard from the phone.
“Haha! Why are you all so nervous!”
“Lin Ran, want to save your woman? Come to the rooftop of the highest office building in Tamkang City now, you might still be able to see her, remember 8 o’clock, if I don’t see you by 8 o’clock, then you don’t need to come up here, just collect her corpse downstairs!”
“Ahaha!”
