Someone in the know

ith a clatter.I whispered my prayer, and as soon as I finished the last sentence, I heard the sound of wrapping paper being torn."Wow, this is thick! So thick! It's amazing!" the little boy exclaimed...The pouch of medicine Mu Wanchen gave me wasn't too strong-smelling. Getting closer, I could smell a faint fragrance that made my head feel lightheaded.

Jiang Qiyun said that before catching the person who put the poison in the incense pouch, this sachet couldn't be left behind. Whether I was meditating at Ziyang Peak, sleeping at Yinjingtian Palace, or even going home to eat, I had to carry it with me.

But I am now pregnant and cannot stay in the Yinjing Tiangong for a long time. After a period of rest, Jiang Qiyun saw that the blood-black qi on my shoulders had dissipated, so he let me continue to live at home.

Now, everyone in the industry knows that on this commercial street of culture, the Mu family is hidden in plain sight.

Therefore, many people came and went in my small shop. Basically, one person would leave and another would immediately come in.

All kinds of people come here: those who ship goods, those seeking help, and those who come to "talk shop" and network.

"Sigh~ The only thing missing is someone coming to propose." My brother leaned back, crossed his legs, and leisurely sipped a cup of tea.

Lin Yanqin ate a package of so-called prenatal nutritional cheese sticks and walked over. When she passed my brother, she bent down slightly.

My brother, quite in tune with the situation, raised his head and kissed her, then smiled and said, “Smells like milk!”

"Isn't that just perfect! Let's have some milk tea!" Lin Yanqin smiled and sat beside me, sharing that cheese stick with me.

I shook my head. "No, thank you. I'm deathly afraid of sweets..."

"Huh Why not This is very nutritious." She recommended it to me earnestly.

My brother spoke up and said, "Every pregnant woman has different tastes during pregnancy. What you find delicious, others might find unbearable. So don't force it on Xiao Qiao. She's been eating vegetarian lately, and I'm worried the baby won't gain weight!"

“I did have some soup!” I quickly retorted.

Mr. Chen was sweeping the storefront, he just wanted to turn around and interject, but his movement froze there.

"What's wrong" my brother asked.

"Young master, across the street... someone seems to be looking at us," Old Chen said in a low voice, keeping his movements unchanged.

My brother immediately put down his teacup, ran over and pressed his face against the carved wooden window to look out.

Here, it's called a commercial walking street, but it's actually just a very decorated and super-wide pedestrian walkway. Outside the separating stone pillars, there's also a non-main road for cars.

Across the street, it wasn't far. You could easily see a single-lens reflex camera lens pointed our way from behind a roadside tree.

“This is obviously watching our house…” My brother frowned, “We’ve been keeping a low profile lately, where did these flies come from”

“Low-key Don’t even get me started. Just look at our province and the capital city – everyone in those circles knows about your two esteemed ancestors from the Mu family!”

"Damn it…" My brother pulled out his phone.

A silvery business car drove up, and the person taking photos darted out from behind the tree, jumping into the business car.

My brother wrote down the license plate number and immediately sent it to Officer Lu. He also called Dabao and asked him to check it out.

"This isn't some curious individual staking out our haunted house, there has to be an organization, accomplices involved!" My brother frowned.

Lin Yanqin slowly chewed on a stick of cheese and asked, "Should I go check it out My brother is here too, nothing can't be settled with him around..."

My brother smiled and said, "You just be a good pregnant woman, eat well, sleep well, don't worry about anything else."

Before we could say a few words, my brother's phone received feedback from Officer Lu. This commercial vehicle belongs to our local television station.

"Television station My brother furrowed his brow deeply."

In our circle, the thing we fear most is not demons, ghosts, karma or cause and effect, but being exposed.

Who would want to be a rare animal and be gawked at

Moreover, our house is located in a bustling city center. The last haunted house incident almost turned our home into a tourist attraction.

This time I was also secretly filmed, and it was a TV station that filmed me. What do they want to do

How about making a documentary

"Actually, there's no need to worry. Our country wouldn't allow programs like this to be broadcast, and similar news wouldn't be aired either, unless the station director and secretary wanted to lose their jobs." My brother comforted me.

Across the street from our house, there's a convenience store directly opposite my family's home. You just have to cross the zebra crossing. The boss is a middle-aged man in his fifties and knows my dad. Every morning, they go for a run together at the park.

The boss's last name is Zhao. When Lin Yanqin and I were taking a walk in the park, we passed his house, and Mr. Zhao would always ask us if we wanted to drink water or juice, he was very kind.

We call him Zhao Bo, and the neighbors call him Mr. Zhao because his convenience store is in a great location. He's trendy too, with an unmanned vending system. Everything inside can be paid for by scanning a code – you take what you want, scan it, pay, and then leave through the "security checkpoint."

He only sells fresh-squeezed juice and convenience food at his stall, but business is booming. It’s said that he makes a hundred thousand yuan a month. Neighbors are all very envious of him, saying that he was born to be a businessman.

And his house is located right in the back yard of a convenience store, which is an area slated for renovation. So it's going to be transformed into something similar to the old-fashioned commercial and cultural district like where my house is.

This transformation made his property worth seven or eight million, instantly turning him into a millionaire tycoon.

But this wealthy man doesn't have a wife or children, he has always been alone. My dad said he does have women, but for some reason, he just doesn't get married and doesn't have kids.

My dad also said that he probably has OCD.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder, a person doing business, most of them understand cooperation and compromise, how can there be obsessive-compulsive disorder

Later, my roommate and I walked past his door many times. Lin Yanting was the first to notice something was wrong.

"Xiao Qiao, I think this old man is really weird. Haven't you noticed that there are always cleaning staff in his shop whenever we walk past" Lin Yanqin said with a slight pout.

I turned around and saw that two cleaning staff in uniform from a cleaning company were indeed lying on the ground, diligently cleaning.

"This is a crossroads, dusty. It's not a bad thing to sweep frequently, right"

Lin Yanqin shook her head and said, "This area is right by the lakeside park, and it's also a commercial pedestrian street. There are few vehicles, good greenery, so where would there be much dust Besides, people doing business have to clean up until the evening when there are fewer customers. How could they clean during peak hours"

... Truly worthy of being a top student from a world-renowned university.

After Lin Yanqin said that, I started paying special attention to Zhao Bo's shop and discovered that his shop was cleaned three times a day - morning, noon, and night!

And every day when Lin Yanqin and I walked past his shop, he would always be sitting in front of the shop fanning himself and asking us if we wanted a drink.

My house is very sensitive now. All the photos of Li were deleted by Lin Yanqin's connections, but they were already saved. My house was also filmed secretly by a television station, and the person who put Gu for Changning has disappeared.

So anything a little suspicious around me will raise my alert.

My brother stroked his chin and said, "When something is strange, there must be a demon. Old Chen, bring my father's fish from yesterday, let's go visit the neighbors. Xiao Qiao, let's go together."

"Huh What am I supposed to do"

"You're stupid, haven't you heard of a type of person who raises gu They are the cleanest!"

>ike stars.The more I look, the more it seems like a fairy from a painting.But he was not ethereal and intangible, but tangible, warm, and soft.“What are you doing” he asked with a slight smile, tiltin...
