tched her entire back raw, with flesh from under her nails."How did you get inside the blue and white porcelain" I asked, frowning."Ah... After I was killed, the Empress had me burned to ashes, pulver...We overlooked a problem. According to Uncle's description, there were quite a few people around the corpse in Changning that day, but only the villager who wanted to steal fainted.

So we deduce that he was bitten by a venomous insect and is currently being monitored in the hospital.

While others were fine, the discovery of a body was enough to halt the project.

"Lin Yanhuan helped me investigate, this apartment building is basically rented out by a brokerage company. All the people living here are employees and artists of the company," my brother took out a smart key card.

"This card was obtained by the bodyguard of the Lin family, and it's all on me. I haven't had time to come and take a look yet."

He casually pressed the button at the door, and a security guard came over to look at us and said, "You guys seem unfamiliar."

My brother waved the card in his hand and said, "Someone gave us a card inviting us to come play."

"Play Shouldn't we pretend to be residents How do you even disguise yourself as a guest"

The security guard raised an eyebrow and whispered, "There have been police searches recently. Don't go too far, you never know when there might be a surprise inspection. We guards can only cooperate, we can't stop them."

What does this security guard mean

We stood there dumbfounded. My brother, on the other hand, seemed totally at ease. He had his backpack and could pull out anything in an instant. He handed a cigarette to the guard and schmoozed him: "Everyone here knows the rules, right We wouldn't do anything outrageous."

The security guard took a drag of his cigarette and shook his head. "Sigh, not everyone is as well-behaved as you. Last time, things almost got out of hand. A rookie who had just been drafted ended up in the hospital needing emergency treatment. It took a lot of effort to calm things down."

I was completely baffled. How could a security guard talk like a mobster, spitting out rules and regulations

My brother chatted with him for a few moments, I don't know what he said. Before leaving, he slipped a red envelope into the security guard's pocket.

The security guard immediately started calling my brother "brother" and praising him for understanding the rules of the underworld.

Ai Liang looked dazed and whispered, "Honorable guest, is your brother the president These days I see him getting along well with everyone, like a ladle pouring water..."

Pfft, a ladle scolds Young Master Mu, devouring yin and yang, black and white

Then my older brother came over and, seeing my bewildered expression, chuckled and said, "Don't you understand what we're saying"

I nodded.

My brother said in a low voice, "Do you know why this agency can rent an entire building"

If you have money, why not

My brother whispered, "The main reason is 'convenience'. This agency has a big name and a strong background. Every year they hold auditions that attract many young people with dreams of becoming stars. But how many people actually become stars"

A big star's treatment is naturally different, but those "trainees" who have no name recognition at all, they live in company-provided housing, earn a very meager salary every month, and then spend their days attending classes, performing at small bars, running errands, and so on.

That's just how it is, and there are still many young people who flock to it.

So, that's how unspoken rules come about: accompany them for meals, drinks, travel, and even sleeping. As long as the company arranges it, you have to follow through. Otherwise, there's no chance of climbing up the ladder.

Therefore, this building is both the residence of those third-rate small stars and a special kind of "hotel".

Guests like my brother, who come in with cards, are generally not stopped by security. They just ask a few casual questions and understand the situation.

So that's how it is, the mortal world is indeed "multifaceted and colorful".

"Brother, how do you know so much" I asked curiously.

“I’m smart, I get it right away. If you want to say I understand, well, well, Lin Yanhuan understands even more than me. The dark side of society, the gray areas, the wickedness of human hearts, the political and business circles… he's the expert. Oh, here comes the elevator.” My brother said.

The elevator opening startled me.

There is someone inside.

And a strong smell of alcohol hit me suddenly. My brother immediately stepped in front of me, grabbing Ah Liang's arm and pulling us back.

Two men, supporting each other and with flushed faces and crooked ties, were in the elevator.

One of the portly men glanced at my brother and nodded, saying, "This newcomer is quite good."

Another man with glasses immediately slurred, "Our company's new employees are all handsome and beautiful, it's just that you don't look down on them! Give them a little chance!"

A chubby man walked out with a grin, I craned my neck to steal a glance and just happened to catch his eye.

He immediately pointed at me and asked, "Who is this Why didn't you show him to me just now"

The man in glasses looked at me a little awkwardly: "I don't know either, there are too many new people... Hey, what's your name"

I didn't dare to speak up and secretly looked at my brother.

My brother immediately said, "We're here to play."

Play, the fat man is also here to "play." When my brother said this, I immediately laughed and said, “It’s good to play, people who know how to play get ahead, have more opportunities.”

Tsk.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

The man in glasses saw my expression and immediately said, "Little girl, don't be ungrateful. Our Mr. Zheng is a big shot behind the scenes in the entertainment industry. Do you want to be a star Whether you're popular or not depends on Mr. Zheng! Come on, come to the front and let Mr. Zheng take a look."

He reached out and tried to grab me, going past my brother.

My brother opened his hand, glaring at him angrily.

We are here to gather information. We need to be discreet; the security guards outside give off a heavy vibe, they might even be from the underworld. Too much commotion would put us at a disadvantage.

I winked at my brother and whispered to Fatty, “Well then, let’s go talk in the stairwell”

The fat man's eyes gleamed when he heard this, and he nodded. "Good boy, good boy!"

The man in glasses pushed open the door to the safe passageway for him, and I followed him inside. The man in glasses whispered to me, "Be smart! There's something in it for you!"

I'm quick enough. Before the fat man could turn around, I called the little clerk over.

Being drunk already made him flushed and abnormally excited, but the sudden chill of the yin wind sent shivers down his spine. With a yank of the chain, the minor ghost pulled him out halfway, his soul firmly trapped.

"Little Empress, look at my skills! I practiced them all by following you!" the little imp boasted proudly.

"Steady your hand, don't let it shake and pull it out!" I cautioned.

The little demon looked at me dejectedly: "How long do you want me to maintain this"

This...I don't know either.

A man's voice suddenly came from above the staircase: "So troublesome Just knock them unconscious, wouldn't that do"

I was startled and looked up.

What the heck!

Is this ancestor really coming to find those who disturbed him while he was playing games!

He pushed the little ghost's hand away, lifted the fat man with one hand, and with a back-of-the-hand strike to his neck... *snap*, the fat man went limp and fell against the door.

The sound startled the people outside. The man in glasses immediately pushed the door open, before he could even speak, he was knocked unconscious by Ji Dou.

My brother rushed over and grabbed me, asking, "Can you still summon the talismans"

I... I want to summon him back, okay

Jì dù lěng zhe liǎn, hēng le yī shēng dào: "Bù lái bù zhīdào, yuánlái ná běn xīng jūn yǐngxiàng zuò tān zī de, jiùshì nàgè jiān zuǐ hóu chāi de nán rén, hài de běn xīng jūn bèi mì luó nà wǒn shòumǎ bā yī dùn."

"Which man with a pointed face" my brother asked.

"Steal a shot of your house!"ur women, they would be considered of marriageable age at fifteen. If we follow your customs, would you wait until she is twenty"My father clapped his hands and said, "That's perfect, a compromise. Ei...
