Chapter 60 Human Nails in the Bridge Pier
Shen Xia Xia went to the metaphysics studio.
There is a lounge behind the studio, which Shen Xia Xia usually uses for a nap during lunch break. It comes in handy now.
No wonder people say that girls must have their own house, so that they have a place to go if they are kicked out of the house.
Feifei was furious when she heard that Shen Xia Xia was kicked out by Lu Jingchen: "How dare this bastard treat Sister Xia Xia like this!"
Shen Xia Xia pinched Fei Fei's round face: "Okay, don't be angry, it's normal for couples to quarrel."
This was a marriage of mutual exploitation, so there was no need to yearn for true love. Shen Xia Xia didn't feel too upset.
But Feifei was as angry as a pufferfish. In her mind, anyone who married Sister Xia Xia would be marrying above her station.
Shen Xia Xia has more important things to do now.
Although she had some money now, she didn't dare spend it recklessly. After all, she had not saved enough money to break the Seven Evils Formation.
If she divorced Lu Jingchen, she would have to find a way to save her life.
Even if there is a way, I don’t know how much it would cost.
She had to find a way to make more money.
That's when business came.
A well-dressed man pushed the door open, exuding a ruthless aura.
There were still traces of knife wounds on his face: "Are you Shen Xia Xia?"
Shen Xia Xia glanced at the man indifferently. There were several ghosts following him, and it seemed that he had done many evil things in his daily life.
Shen Xiaxia threw a nut into her mouth: "What can I do for you?"
The man looked around Shen Xia Xia's studio with a look of disdain, and sneered, "This is just a shabby little place? You are a little girl, your hair hasn't even grown out yet, what can you do? I don't know why the president specifically asked to come to you."
Shen Xia Xia hated this kind of short-sighted, vulgar-speaking thug the most, and decided to teach him a lesson.
Shen Xia Xia secretly took out a talisman.
The man sat on the sofa beside him, lit a cigarette, crossed his legs, whistled, and looked at Shen Xia Xia obscenely: "The girl is really good-looking..."
Before he finished speaking, the man began to slap himself uncontrollably and kept saying, "I was wrong, I was wrong, Miss Shen, I was wrong."
After slapping himself dozens of times, the man's face was swollen and his nose was bleeding.
Seeing that the man was about to knock himself out, Shen Xia Xia asked him to stop.
The man touched the blood on his nose in a confused state and pointed at Shen Xia Xia: "It was you who did this, you little bastard."
Okay, you’re still pretty stubborn and you won’t give in even after all this.
Shen Xia Xia used another revealing talisman to make the ghosts following the man reveal their original forms.
Several ghosts with hideous faces pounced on the man.
"Ah! Ghost!" The man was already beaten half to death by himself, and the stimulation of the ghost in front of him made him faint from fright.
Shen Xia Xia naturally wouldn't let him go so easily, so she just poured a basin of cold water on him.
The man knelt on the ground, clasped his fists and bowed, begging for mercy: "Miss Shen, no, my aunt, my aunt, I have seen how powerful you are. I was wrong. I was blind and didn't recognize a great man. I hope you can be magnanimous and don't hold the same opinion with me."
Shen Xia Xia sat on the chair and took a sip of tea: "Tell me what you came for, tell me honestly."
The man changed his frivolous and ruthless look and said, "I am a member of the Qingyun Society. Our gang has encountered some supernatural events recently. The president ordered his subordinates to invite you."
Shen Xia Xia knew about Qingyun Club.
As the largest gang in Wancheng, Qingyun Club has to be respected by both the political and business circles.
Qingyun will have access to all the communication information and secrets of the big guys in the world.
His work style is both rogue and polite, and he has both money and power.
Qingyun knows other people's secrets, but he himself is elusive.
The president of Qingyun Club is even more secretive.
It looks like this is a big fish, and we can make a lot of money from it.
Shen Xiaxia continued to ask: "What do you want from me?"
The man continued, "The construction company under our Qingyun Association built a bridge. I don't know what happened, but after the bridge was completed, there have been frequent accidents and many car accidents. A few days ago, an important person's car inexplicably overturned on the bridge."
Shen Xiaxia frowned: "Such a big thing, why didn't it make the news?"
The man smiled and said, "You can't just go on the news if you want to. Such an important person, the news is naturally blocked."
"With so many accidents happening in a row, there must be something dirty on this bridge. That's why our president asked us to come and invite you."
Shen Xiaxia thought for a moment and held up two fingers: "This matter is more troublesome, I want a reward of 200 million."
"No problem!" The man agreed readily: "The president said that after the matter is completed, he will give you a garden house as a gift."
Shen Xiaxia sleeps in the metaphysics studio every day. The resting space is very cramped and she often cannot rest well. She really needs a house.
At least when Lu Jingchen drives her away in the future, she will have a place to stay.
"Deal!" Shen Xia Xia agreed without hesitation.
After listening to the man's description, Shen Xia Xia roughly knew what the problem was. This problem was very tricky and might even be life-threatening.
Shen Xia Xia has no choice now. If she can't make money, she will die. If she can't make money, she will die too. It's better to make some money.
Shen Xia Xia carried the blue bag and followed the man to the bridge.
Under the guidance of the project manager, Shen Xia Xia took a closer look at the bridge.
When Shen Xia Xia saw the piers under the bridge, she discovered something unusual about them.
Human nails used for bridge piers.
When construction teams are building bridges or roads, they often encounter some strange events.
For example, the bridge piers could not be driven in for unknown reasons, and the road surface on that section of the highway could not be repaired and made smooth.
At such times, some superstitious construction teams would beat living people into the bridge piers and use the human energy to ward off evil spirits.
Generally speaking, those who are used as living nails are willing to do so. Only in this way can the bridge stand firm.
Shen Xia Xia looked at the position of the human nails, which was completely opposite to the normal position, which means that the person who did this originally wanted to cause an accident to the bridge.
And the people inside must have been thrown in against their will. Not only is there a lack of human vitality and spiritual energy to ward off evil spirits, but instead the overwhelming resentment and ghostly aura makes this bridge unsafe to inhabit.
Shen Xiaxia glanced at the construction manager and sneered, "You had already figured it out when you used the human nails. Why are you crying thief now?"
"Human nails? What human nails?" The construction manager was confused. "We never use these. When we built this bridge, everything went smoothly. How could we possibly use this kind of thing?"
Shen Xiaxia pointed to the rootless pillar in the middle of the bridge and said, "There are human nails in here."
The construction manager chuckled and said, "That's impossible. I personally supervised the construction of this bridge. How could there be such a thing?"
Shen Xiaxia raised her eyebrows slightly: "If you don't believe me, you can find someone to check it out to see if it is as I said. The nails are set in the opposite direction. We need to clean them out quickly, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
The project manager looked towards the direction of the bridge and frowned slightly. Could it be that there was really something wrong with the bridge pier as the woman said?
