Chapter 341 Chen Jiayi's Cry for Help
On the first day that Master Liu and Blind Zuo checked in, Fatty Lin, feeling uneasy, took the Zhong sisters with him to the Junyi Hotel as well.
Whether he was genuinely worried or just pretending, I don't know, but he went anyway.
"Brother, do you want to go too?"
Ever since Fatty Lin left, I've been looking a bit listless. Long Ni'er noticed something was wrong and said this quietly beside me.
"No, no, absolutely not!"
I immediately denied it three times in a row. At a time like this, any hesitation from me would be disrespectful to her.
"Two hours! I've been observing you for two hours!" Long Ni'er held up two fingers and said, "Brother, do you think I'm stupid?"
My heart skipped a beat, and before I knew how to explain, my phone rang.
"Nier, we can talk later, I need to take this call!" I pointed to my phone as if I were grasping at a straw.
"Hands-free!" Long Nier said coldly.
"Why!"
I forced a smile and answered the call on speakerphone.
The caller was Chen Jiayi. After answering, her voice came through, "Master Thirteen, are you at the shop?"
Chen Jiayi's voice sounded a little flustered and slightly hoarse.
"I'm here!" I replied.
"I just called Master Lin, but he didn't answer!"
It was a bit noisy on Chen Jiayi's end, with announcements coming from somewhere, like an airport or something.
"Is there something you need?" I asked.
"I've encountered something strange. Can I come to your store?" Chen Jiayi asked cautiously.
"Are you on Hong Kong Island now?" I asked.
"I just arrived at the airport, and I'll be on Hong Kong Island in two hours!" Chen Jiayi said.
"Okay, come on over, I'll wait for you at the store!" I said.
"Okay, thank you, Master Thirteen!" Chen Jiayi said thank you and hung up the phone.
"Brother, what is she calling for?" Long Nier asked.
"You heard it too, she didn't say, I guess something happened!" I said.
Chen Jiayi is one of our regular customers. After she came once, she kept in touch with us and would call Fatty Lin from time to time. Occasionally, the two of them would even video chat.
As for how to make the video, I won't go into details.
That's why she became very familiar with Fatty Lin, and under Fatty Lin's encouragement, she started calling me Master Thirteen.
The first time she came to us, she asked if we could change her luck.
After her nose fracture was repaired, her face changed from one that brought good fortune to one that brought bad luck, and the marriage that had been arranged fell through.
She wanted to know if she could change it back, and after learning that she couldn't, she made up her mind to enter the entertainment industry.
Chen Jiayi is a ruthless person, or rather, a person with a very clear goal. Once she makes up her mind to do something, she is very willing to go all out.
This, coupled with her previous status as a wealthy fiancée, made her very popular.
So I'm very curious about what she came here for this time.
As for why Fatty Lin didn't answer her calls, it must be at a crucial moment. At such times, unless I call him, Fatty Lin won't answer.
I thought about it and then called Fatty Lin.
"What are you doing? I'm busy!"
The phone rang for about five seconds before Fatty Lin answered it.
"We have work to do!"
As soon as I heard Fatty Lin making a sound, I knew what he was doing.
I find it very amusing to interrupt him at times like this.
"Chen Jiayi?" Fatty Lin asked.
"Yes, it's her!" I said.
"I saw it, but I didn't answer!"
"That's what Fatty Lin said."
"She said she'd be there in two hours. How are you going to finish?" I asked.
"That's about it. I'm hanging up now!"
"That's what Fatty Lin replied."
"Don't hang it up, what's the rush!" I joked.
"Get lost, are you alright?" Fatty Lin was a little anxious, and his voice even changed.
"It's alright now!"
I was just about to tease him again when I felt a sharp pain in my lower back. I jolted awake and hung up the phone.
After hanging up, I turned my head and met Long Nier's eyes, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Nier, I didn't mean anything by it!" I forced a smile and explained.
"Is that so?" Long Nier uttered two words expressionlessly.
"yes!"
I gritted my teeth, my lower back was hurting more and more, and I could feel a tiny pinch of flesh slowly turning in Long Nier's hand.
"snort!"
The next moment, Long Nier snorted, released her grip, and said, "Brother, I'll let you off this time, but you'll be sorry next time!"
"Why!"
I grinned and nodded; this hurdle was finally over.
Two and a half hours later, Chen Jiayi still hadn't arrived, but Fatty Lin came back first.
Where are they?
As soon as he got back, Fatty Lin started making a fuss.
"We're not there yet!" I said.
"Didn't you say two hours?" Fatty Lin asked anxiously.
"It wasn't me who said it, it was Chen Jiayi who said it!" I said.
Fatty Lin stared at me, and after a long pause, he finally managed to utter two words: "Grandson!"
"Get lost! You're the one who's in a hurry, I didn't say anything else!" I ignored him and continued looking at my computer.
"You..." Fatty Lin trembled with anger.
Just then, my phone rang.
He glanced at it, then answered, "Yes, I'm in the shop. You're here? Come on up!"
After hanging up, he said irritably, "Chen Jiayi has arrived!"
"I'll have Nier bring her up!"
I chuckled, walked to the door, and called out downstairs.
Less than a minute later, Long Nier brought Chen Jiayi up.
"Is he in such poor condition?"
Upon seeing Chen Jiayi, Fatty Lin frowned.
Chen Jiayi rushed over, her voice trembling with tears, and hugged Lin Pangzi, crying, "Brother Daoist, you have to save me!"
"Get up and explain yourself!"
Fatty Lin patted her on the back and said.
I wasn't too surprised by their interaction.
These two were even bolder in their video interactions than this!
Chen Jiayi was indeed in bad condition; her face was ashen, and she looked like a dead person who had been in a freezer for several days.
It's obvious that this has been sabotaged.
"Um!"
Chen Jiayi wiped away her tears, got up from Lin Pangzi's arms, and said, "Brother Daoist, I've been cursed!"
"Cursed? How do you know?" Fatty Lin looked at Chen Jiayi suspiciously.
"Brother Taoist priest, I'm not lying. I saw her cast a curse on me with my own eyes!"
Chen Jiayi said with a slightly aggrieved expression.
"You saw it with your own eyes? Tell me, what exactly happened!" Fatty Lin said.
"That bitch personally brought the sorceress to stop my car, dragged me out, had people restrain me, and had the sorceress cast a curse on me!" Chen Jiayi said, her voice trembling with tears.
"what?"
Her statement shocked me.
Curses are usually cast secretly. This is the first time I've ever seen someone stop a car, drag it out, and force a sorceress to cast a curse in front of her, just like she did.
Not only that, this operation, this routine, seems familiar to me. The way I look at it, it's a bit like the wife attacking the mistress!
