Chapter 497: Those People Under the Night Sky Being Watched

Translator: AlfredoPoutineSoup  Editor: DesTheSloth

It was about 12 midnight, Cheng Yun handled the media, the traffic policeman, Ms. Zhang, and his boss’s instructions, as well as Cheng Yiran. He was exhausted, but had to act as energetic.

In the hospital lift, Cheng Yun drank a can of Red Bull, then patted his faces. He tidied his clothes, and then pushed open the door in high spirits.

Zhong Luochen was still there, closing his eyes on the sofa. Seeing Cheng Yun come in, he opened his eyes.

Cheng Yun glanced at Cheng Yiran who didn’t wake up, and walked to Zhong Luochen, and said, “Second Master, I got Hong Guan’s background.”

“Tell me in the next room.” Zhong Luochen said. Then the two went to another sickroom.

Zhong Luochen pulled open the curtain that had a view of the whole city. And Cheng Yun said, “Hong Guan and Cheng Yiran had a band last time and they were good brothers…”

Cheng Yun told him all he knew and time slowly passed.

“…As for the ward of Hong Guan’s wife, it was applied under the name of Li Zifeng.”

He added, “Li Zifeng is so cunning, he didn’t report to the company the background of Cheng Yiran, who even stayed in jail.”

“Prisoners can be a hero as well.” Zhong Luochen said calmly, “But… you said Hong Guan came to blackmail?”

“Li Zifeng said so.” Cheng Yun frowned, “But when I asked him just now, I found that he looked weird, maybe he still hid something… but he’s an old employee of Heaven’s Shadow, so I dared not ask him using the strongest ways.”

Zhong Luochen suddenly shook his head, “I have met Hong Guan, he doesn’t look like a blackmailer… Of course, it’s just my feeling.”

“Then, should I go check again?” Cheng Yun narrowed his eyes… He had many other ways to get that information.

He knew his boss desired to control everything.

Zhong Luochen finally nodded after some thought.

Cheng Yun continued, “But Second Young Master, if Cheng Yiran cannot wake up, how is the program…”

“Proceed normally.” Zhong Luochen said, “The stage has been built, and the ground has been rented until the program finishes. If he cannot wake up, then skip that and they can find a solution to make the program interesting, so long as they don’t disqualify him.”

“Got it.”

“I’m tired and will go back now.” Zhong Luochen instructed, “Tell me as soon as possible if Cheng Yiran wakes up.”

“No problem!”

While Zhong Luochen left the hospital, he thought of what he witnessed a moment ago. After Hong Guan left, he ordered both bodyguards to play that guitar.

“Why could only Hong Guan achieve that…” Zhong Luochen looked back at the lights of the hospital and said to himself, “Why? Is there any mysterious principle?”

But he soon went into his car, taking out his cellphone, and making a phone call to his family steward—Old Luo, in Beijing.

“Grandpa Luo, sorry to bother you.”

“That’s OK, Old Master just went to sleep. What can I do for you, Second Young Master?”

Zhong Luochen stayed silent for a moment, then he said, “Grandpa Luo, Cheng Yun cannot handle so many affairs, can you send some people… from my followers, but don’t make widely known.”

“No problem, I’ll arrange that tomorrow.”

“Thank you.”

In the pet hospital.

Ghost Baby was still waiting by the back door and two masters were having a conversation inside.

A dozen monsters stayed at the waiting room in the pet hospital.

Ghost Baby sent them there when they fainted; but now, they all woke up, but with their heads lowered along with empty eyes, keeping silent.

Gui Qianyi walked by those monsters with his walking stick, approaching Long Xiruo.

The old turtle coughed before saying, “Master Long, this old turtle was not capable enough to find out what kind of witchcraft they were controlled by… and I cannot break it either.”

Long Xiruo frowned, “Wind could control them… he can probably control more.”

Gui Qianyi said, “According to the description of Ghost Baby, he heard a weird bell ring, then became inattentive for a short time, but wasn’t influenced very much… Is that the method Wind used to control the monsters? But why he couldn’t he influence Ghost Baby?”

“Maybe he doesn’t have so much power to control Ghost Baby. The bell ring means some Taoist equipment or something else exists… but it may not have enough power over Ghost Baby, or else he wouldn’t have escaped.” Long Xiruo guessed.

“That’s terrible!” Gui Qianyi said seriously, “In Master’s current situation, I’m afraid…”

Long Xiruo waved her hand, saying in a severe tone, “I’m afraid of what he will do next… and what he wants to do.”

She found a leaflet placed on the table by Ghost Baby, who got it at the place Wind stayed.

It was about the big show happening in the Beautiful Lotus Gymnasium on Sunday.

Gui Qianyi sighed, “If I haven’t got so seriously hurt and could not use the mysterious skill, we wouldn’t be in such a situation now.”

Long Xiruo shook her head, “Take care of yourself now and don’t think of the mysterious skill. If we have really no idea, then I…”

Right then, something dropped from the first ward and a sound came out. Long Xiruo and Gui Qianyi looked up. Then, Long Xiruo jumped up from the chair, “It’s Xiaojiang!”

But she stopped when she was going to open the door. Gui Qianyi took the lead and walked closely behind. He opened the door and walked in.

But Long Xiruo sighed and could only stayed at the doorway.

It turned out that Xiaojiang fell down the ward floor, and the infusion tube was coiling around his body. However, he had woken up and heard the footsteps. He was stunned when he saw Gui Qianyi walked in.

He recognized him with one glance. His family lived a long time and had a wide range of contacts. Xiaojiang’s father ever took him to this see this senior during his childhood.

“Master Gui, why did you…” Xiaojiang wanted to make a bow to him.

“Stay in bed.” Gui Qianyi shook his head.

Xiaojiang then knew where he was, “Here is… Master Long’s… Where’s Master Long… did she save me?”

“Leave these alone.” Gui Qianyi asked, “Ha Xiaojiang, do you remember what happened and who hurt you?”

“It was…” Xiaojiang face changed, looked like he was still in horror, “It was Iron Whistle… Iron Whistle hurt me…”

“Iron Whistle? Who is Iron Whistle?” Gui Qianyi frowned, “Wasn’t it Wind?”

“Wind saved me.” Xiaojiang lips moved with a depressing look, “Iron Whistle is… Cheese’s pet. A… a weird guy I cannot explain it.”

“Can you describe it?” Gui Qianyi peeped at the sickroom and asked.

Xiaojiang nodded, “Let me draw it, it will be clearer.”

In an empty ground near the quiet Beautiful Lotus Gymnasium, Boss Luo sat on the cement pipe and a hand swept over the space in front of him.

Then several light screens with different scenes showed in front.

Like cameras in a monitor room… the camera focused on— Cheng Yiran sleeping, Zhong Luochen driving his car, Cheng Yun busying with something, and each monster in the pet hospital… Of course, this included the sleeping Ren Ziling.

Then, these scenes were erased by the boss.

Luo Qiu smiled slightly, starting to talk with Iron Whistle in the hiding pipe.

Iron Whistle didn’t know the person who could communicate with it was now sitting above it… Cheese was sleeping at home, so now it was time for it to have dinner.

It was eating a street dog it caught.

It was too small to fill its stomach; Iron Whistle was blinking its eyes.

Without knowing the reason, Iron Whistle just felt hungry today, and wanted to eat more… and more… more… and more… Cheese…

“How are you feeling today?”

This thought sounded in its brain— these days, the sound would always appear in its brain constantly, no matter the time or place.

It explained somethings for it, but gave it more questions.

It felt that the more it knew, the more puzzled it got—but this sound had never told it how to handle it… The sound may just want to chat with itself.

It used sleep to kill time… and the sound chatted with it was also for killing time.

Oh, it understood what ‘kill time’ meant today.
