"Of course I didn't believe it at first, because my dad didn't talk nonsense like that on the first day. But then things started to go wrong. My dad's health was getting worse every day, and he started to get sick Constantly. At this time, I really began to doubt that what he said about the transaction was true. So when I went to see him in the hospital yesterday, I couldn’t help asking. Then he told me that a year ago, he used his own Yang Shou changed the whole family to get rich overnight. He became a millionaire overnight, but relatively, the price he has to pay is that his life is reduced to only the last year."

I looked at him in surprise, "Did he say he made a deal with something?"

Liang Kaifeng shook his head, "No. He just said it was a monster, a very scary monster. He said that at first he just thought it was some kind of prank by his co-workers, so he agreed without thinking about it. A lifetime of Yangshou for a lifetime It is a prank. But I did not expect that everything has come true, and my dad started to panic. My dad is already very weak now, because he said that when the Next week will be a full year for him to make a deal with that demon. Which means...by then, my dad will be dead."

Liang Kaifeng bit the corner of his lips, and said in a trembling voice, "That's why I'm here to ask you. Please, you must help me find that exorcist surnamed Wen, otherwise my father will really die! My mother has already left me, if I lose my father again... Even if he is a bastard, I don't want him to die like this!"

Seeing Liang Kaifeng like this, I can't even say what I should have said.

"Liang Kaifeng, I know what happened to your family. I am really sad for you." I said bravely, "But, the thing is like this. The exorcist Wen Jiubai you are looking for has gone away now. , not in Yancheng at all. So... "

"Then you call him back!" Liang Kaifeng said excitedly.

"No." I shook my head and tried to explain clearly to Liang Kaifeng, "He is out to do something very important now, I can't just call him back like this. I'm sorry, Liang Kaifeng, you may have to deal with your father's affairs." Please be wiser."

Unexpectedly, as soon as I finished speaking, Liang Kaifeng stood up suddenly, causing the chair to make a loud noise. Then before I could react, he rushed over and grabbed me by the collar.

"Liang Kaifeng!"

"what are you doing?"

"This is not a joke!" Liang Kaifeng yelled at me hoarsely, "My father is dying! What is more important than human life? I don't care, you must help me find that exorcist surnamed Wen! Otherwise I can't spare you!"

"Liang Kaifeng! Is this what you call a begging attitude?" Shi Yitong rushed over immediately, dragged Liang Kaifeng aside, and freed my collar. friend?"

Seeing Shi Yitong's angry look, I was afraid that he and Liang Kaifeng would fight again, so I quickly stood between them.

"Okay, calm down, don't do this. I know Liang Kaifeng didn't do it on purpose, he was just too anxious. After all, whoever's family encounters this kind of thing will definitely feel uncomfortable."

"Really?" Shi Yitong said with a sting in his words, "I think his father did it for himself, right? Who let him be blinded by desire back then, otherwise he would definitely not have ended up like this!"

"you!"

Seeing that Liang Kaifeng was about to swing his fist again, I quickly pulled the two of them further away.

"Okay, okay, Liang Kaifeng, can you take it easy?" I said in a low voice, "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I can't help you. But I will contact him and try. If I can help you, I will Will help, is that okay?"

Liang Kai stared at me angrily, shook off my hand, and said in a threatening tone: "You'd better find him!"

Then he walked away without saying a word, leaving us with an angry back.

"God, who does he think he is!" After Liang Kaifeng walked away, Shi Yitong said angrily, rubbing the place where he was pushed, "I knew that dogs can't change eating shit, and people like Liang Kaifeng can't be good at all. Kindly ask others."

"That's what he said." Su Xiaoyun also frowned, "His attitude is not begging at all. There is no one who begs like him. I stand against Shi Yitong this time, and his father is not completely innocent. If he hadn't been tempted by money, he wouldn't have been able to make any deals."

"But, then again. He is still our classmate, and if what he said is true, it is a matter of human life." I sighed and said, "But Wen Jiubai is not here now, we are not very Maybe there's nothing I can do to help. Unless Zhuxuan is willing to help?"

Zhu Xuan waved his hand and firmly stated his position, "Me? Forget it, I don't like being involved in this kind of thing from the beginning. Besides, I still have my own mission."

makes sense. I've been embarrassed enough to involve Zhuxuan so many times before, so this time he doesn't want to help, so I have nothing to say.

"Wait, Gu Yu. Is Wen Jiubai really not in the old house now?" Shi Yitong asked suddenly, God knows why his usually confused head suddenly grasped the point this time, "I thought you just said that Said it was to fool Liang Kaifeng."

"Of course not." I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "He's really not in the old house, can he be considered... on a business trip?"

"Business trip?" Su Xiaoyun looked at me suspiciously, "What did he do?"

"It's just..." I bite the bullet and explained, "He encountered a difficult case to solve, so he won't be able to come back for a while."

The suspicion on Su Xiaoyun's face did not ease at all, "Really? Gu Yu, tell the truth, are you hiding something from us?"

"Well… "

Just when I felt that I was about to lose my hold, Zhuxuan suddenly opened his mouth to help me out.

"Gu Yu didn't lie to you." Zhu Xuan showed a very convincing smile, and said affirmatively, "I saw Wen Jiubai accept that very tricky commission before. I wanted to go with me, but Wen Jiubai I disliked it, so I had nothing to do, so I came to your school to find you."

I breathed a sigh of relief, seeing the reactions of Su Xiaoyun and Shi Yitong, I also seemed to believe it.

"Well, if this is the case, I will believe you." Su Xiaoyun folded her arms and said, "Then if this is the case, let's ignore Liang Kaifeng's case. Wen Jiubai is not here, and expressing goodwill should at least be within our capabilities Nei. Gu Yu, I know you very well, so please don’t help him for the sake of being a hero. It would be bad if you dragged yourself into trouble.”

Shi Yitong also nodded.
