After Monk Shi and I walked over, we realized that those were the family members of the workers who had been possessed by evil spirits a few days ago. They carried the possessed workers and blocked the door of the house, demanding that the other party be held responsible.
Monk Shi looked at it for a while before whispering, "Brother, do you want to go over and help?"
"Wait a moment and see how that company handles it." I didn't mean to watch the fun, I just wanted to see if the other party was worth my life.
When employers choose warlocks, warlocks also choose employers. Exorcism is a life-threatening job, and many warlocks have been killed by ghosts. Who doesn't want to meet a kind employer
While we were talking, Ye Jin also came up from behind. He must have made some arrangements, which was why he was a step behind us. However, he seemed to know what I meant and stood behind us without saying a word.
Not long after, I saw a girl in her twenties walking out of the manor surrounded by bodyguards.
When I saw her for the first time, I was stunned.
Ordinary people judge people by their first glance, and fortune tellers judge people by their first glance. I judge everyone the same way. That girl was the first person I found difficult to judge.
In my eyes, that woman is like an orchid blooming in the mist, showing her elegance to everyone but hiding her charm. People want to appreciate her tenderness and cherish her ethereal nature, but can't help but want to dispel the haze in front of their eyes and take a look at her full appearance.
Until Ye Jin said behind me: "That is my partner Guan Qingyan, the young master of Guan Group."
"Oh oh..." While I was dealing with Ye Jin, Guan Qingyan had already had the door opened: "Everyone, please be quiet. This time, it was indeed our mistake that led to the current consequences. Guan will definitely take responsibility for this matter to the end."
Someone shouted, "How do you want to be responsible? Tell us clearly!"
Guan Qingyan said: "All injured employees can be temporarily arranged to recuperate in Guan's Manor. I will cover all the expenses for food, lodging, medical treatment, and lost work time until they recover. If an accident occurs, we will compensate them according to the treatment for work-related deaths."
Monk Shi nodded to me slightly, meaning: This guarantee is good, it just depends on whether she can fulfill it.
After Guan Qingyan finished speaking, most people quieted down, but someone in the crowd shouted, "No! Who knows what you guys are up to? What if we get into the manor and you don't let us out?"
Guan Qingyan said solemnly: "Guan's Manor can be fully opened, and you can also have someone to accompany you."
The man denied it again: "That won't work either! Who can guarantee that you will keep your word?"
Guan Qingyan frowned slightly and said, "So what do you want?"
The man shouted, "One million per person. Count the cash and we'll leave right away. We won't come looking for you in the future, whether we're dead or alive."
In third-tier cities, one million is a huge sum of money that many people cannot earn in their entire lives. The crowd, which had originally calmed down, suddenly became agitated again.
Guan Qingyan said, "I cannot agree to your request. It's not that Guan's can't afford the money, but your actions are chilling. I believe that even if you get one million, you may not be able to cure the patient, right? You don't want to be responsible for your relatives, but Guan's must be responsible for its employees."
The man yelled at the top of his voice: "Look, look! What did I say before I came? They are a bunch of ungrateful people, using people to death, and want to hide away when something happens to them. They are just like that..."
"What's wrong with such a person?" Ye Jin suddenly shouted from behind, startling the man. When he turned around and saw Ye Jin, he turned pale with fear: "Ye... Ye..."
"I don't have a grandson like you, why are you calling me grandpa for no reason?" Ye Jin pushed through the crowd and walked up to the man. "Let me tell you, I have a share in this development. I'll pay the one million for the Guan family girl. You can come to me tomorrow to get it."
"Don't... Brother Ye..." The man knelt on the ground in fear, "I just came out to make a living. If I knew it was your business, I would never dare to touch it even if I were beaten to death. Please don't bear grudges..."
Ye Jin put his hands behind his back and said, "You started this fire, you have to find a way to put it out for me, right?"
The man gritted his teeth, pulled out a dagger from his body, and stabbed his thigh with it. He pointed at the tip of the knife that was bleeding, trembling and said, "Brother Ye, look..."
Ye Jin looked at the man without saying a word. The man turned pale, gritted his teeth, pulled out the knife, and stabbed his other leg again. After two slashes, the man could no longer stand and simply knelt on the ground: "Brother Ye, please spare me..."
"Get out!" Ye Jin spat out a word from his mouth.
The man kowtowed to Ye Jin several times before dragging his legs and moving out of the crowd step by step. It was not until he was more than ten meters away that someone came and picked him up and ran away.
Ye Jin glanced around at the trembling family members of the employees and said, "My name is Ye Jin, and I have only one principle in my life and work: if you are reasonable with me, I will be reasonable with you; if you are a rogue with me, I will be more rogue than you."
"I'm going to make this clear today. We will pay every penny we owe, and we will do every thing we are supposed to do. However, if anyone wants to take advantage of the situation, I will make sure they know who I, Ye Jin, am."
The bandit spirit on Ye Jin's body was not fake. Anyone who saw him would think that he was not a kind person. The family members of the employees who were ready to make a move just now were silent for a while.
Ye Jin waved to Guan Qingyan and said, "Sister, I'll leave the rest to you. I'll take my friend in to rest for a while."
As I followed Ye Jin into the manor, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother Ye has a lot of reputation here, doesn't he?"
Ye Jin did not hide it: "It was just to make a living. When I was young, I didn't know what fear was. I fought and killed all the way. Now looking back, how can it be called chivalry? It was just that I was young and didn't know the limits. Fortunately, I was lucky and was not arrested. Nine out of ten people who came out with me were shot. If I hadn't been lucky, I would have been dead long ago."
I asked, "You have made a backup plan, right?"
Ye Jin said: "The Guan family is very honest and kind to their employees. They made such a fuss, there must be someone behind the scenes fanning the flames. I arranged a backup plan just to see who was behind it. I guess... Forget it, don't get involved in this matter, it's not a matter of magic."
"I'll suppress the matter first and then see who is looking for death." As Ye Jin spoke, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
I knew he had murderous intentions, but I had no interest in finding out about those things, as they had nothing to do with me.
I followed Ye Jin into the living room, and the first thing I saw was a man dressed as a Taoist priest sitting in the living room. He looked up at my face, then lowered his head without any intention of greeting me.
Instead, the young man standing next to the old Taoist exchanged a few words with Ye Jin. It seemed that Ye Jin knew the man named Jiang Yan, but they were not close.
Not long after Ye Jin asked me to sit on the sofa, Guan Qingyan came back. Ye Jin said without waiting for Guan Qingyan to speak, "Sister, I brought you two experts who can take over your affairs."
"Tsk—" Before Guan Qingyan could say anything, Jiang Yan sneered.
Ye Jin's expression suddenly changed: "Brother Jiang, who are you sneering at? If you are dissatisfied with your brother, you can just say it out loud. Who are you trying to show your sarcasm to?"
Jiang Yan smiled and said, "Brother Ye, I'm not being harsh on you. I'm just afraid that you might get cheated without even knowing it. How can they be considered experts with just the two of them?"
Jiang Yan stood up without waiting for Ye Jin to speak: "This Taoist Lingxu is a real hermit master. I specially invited him from Maoshan to help Qingyan. As for these two..."
Jiang Yan's meaning is self-evident.
Ye Jin looked at Guan Qingyan with a sullen face. Here, Guan Qingyan was the boss, and who would take over the business depended on her opinion.
Guan Qingyan seemed to want to see us confront each other on purpose, and she didn't say a word.
Taoist Lingxu, who was sitting on the chair, slowly put down his teacup and asked, "Which sect did you two young friends learn from?"
I bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Dongbei, Wu Zhao."
"Mr. Dongbei, history does not follow." Monk Shi obviously did not report his true origins.
"Mr. Dongbei!" Ling Xu smiled and said, "I think this is the way to go! Since you two have come from afar, it would be bad to let you return empty-handed. I will let Jiang Xiaoyou give you some money for your journey, and then you two can go back!"
Monk Shi said coldly: "What if we don't?"
Ling Xu's face darkened slightly as he said, "Have you two forgotten Mr. Dongbei's rules?"
There are many schools of Northeastern masters, but most of them are Taoist disciples, so there is an unwritten rule among Northeastern masters, that is, when you meet a Taoist, you must give three points of courtesy, when you meet a person from the same school, you must give three points of courtesy, and when you meet an elder from the same school, you must give three points of courtesy. After three steps of courtesy, the prestige of Northeastern masters is only one point left in front of the Taoists. To put it bluntly, the Taoists can openly steal our business.
I looked at Ling Xu coldly: "As the saying goes: the old calendar cannot be used now. The business is open, whoever has the ability can do it. We two brothers travel the world, not relying on our big faces, but on our strong hands."
"Okay, okay..." Ling Xu was so angry that he started laughing, "Then I want to see what you are capable of!"
Jiang Yan couldn't hold back his anger any more: "Mr. Wu, the Taoist priest has already given you face. If you refuse to accept it, I will not let you leave."
Before I could even open my mouth, Ye Jin got angry: "I'm giving you some face, right? I want to see why you can't let me leave!"
Jiang Yan and Ye Jin were immediately on edge, ready to fight if they disagreed. Only then did Guan Qingyan speak up, "Can you two listen to me first?"

Well, I admit that I did use chopsticks to pick up steak. I carried the chopsticks into the restaurant myself! However, I did not use pancakes to wrap the steak. That restaurant does not sell pancakes! (To be continued)
