Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Qi Zhenbai was talking about cooperation projects with representatives of other companies when he received the transferred call from Assistant Xu.

When he found a quiet place, he found out that Zhu Bocheng had been in a car accident and was out of danger. Even a man as calm and composed as Qi Zhenbai was totally shocked. This accident wasn't as light as the tailgating before. It was extremely serious and odious, and it wasn't so easy to escape danger, especially when Qi Zhenbai heard that Zhu Bocheng's car was burned down to its frames. Fortunately, he had held the talisman that the little girl had given him, so he was unharmed and wasn't burned to death.

Qi Zhenbai's thick eyebrows twisted, and his piercing slender eyes underneath were as unfathomable and cold as a deep pool. He knew that Zhu Bocheng wouldn't deceive him, but hearing this strange and absurd thing, he was still rather suspicious and skeptical. He even thought whether this was a trap and conspiracy that the little girl and her accomplice had set up for Zhu Bocheng.

When he thought of that stubborn girl's prediction to Zhu Bocheng and how unlucky Zhu Bocheng had been recently, Qi Zhenbai became more and more convinced that it was a trap. A sinister and ruthless shade flashed through his upturned, slender eyes and his meticulous mind captured a great flaw. The brakes went out, which meant that the car was probably tampered with. Who would benefit most from Zhu Bocheng's death? Qi Zhenbai never had second thoughts, and his slender eyes, which have always been majestic, narrowed dangerously. "It's good that you're fine. We'll talk about the rest later. Come here first! Don't get in contact with the little girl yet!"

"Okay!" Zhu Bocheng didn't think too much about it, and habitually obeyed his best friend, Zhebai's orders. Others might harm him, but Qi Zhenbai never would.

But he was a bit hesitant about not contacting Sister Shuyan. He still wanted to buy more Protective and Peace Talismans and wear them every day so he wouldn't be afraid of encountering trouble when going out. Otherwise, if something like today happened again tomorrow and the days after, he really would be a dead man. Had he known earlier, he would have taken a few more talismans from Sister Shuyan whether he believed it or not. Without a talisman, what was he going to do when he has got a chill in the back?

After hanging up the phone, Qi Zhenbai's beautiful face became heavy again. First, he dialed a number to get someone to investigate Zhu Bocheng's car accident.

Chi Shuyan saw seven or eight strange missed call alerts on her phone when she came out of the shower. She returned the call, but the person who answered it was a stranger and was also confused about her call, so she thought that the person must've called the wrong number.

Chi Shuyan turned her computer on and logged into her Taobao dashboard as usual, but after seeing the huge number of orders and familiar customer accounts on top of one another, a few black lines slid down her forehead. She had gently reminded Yang Hongsheng and the others not to buy talismans on Taobao before. They'd been quiet for a while, but now, they were back to their old tricks again, so she quickly called Yang Hongsheng.

"Young Master Yang, didn't I tell you to tell the others not to place orders on Taobao anymore?" Chi Shuyan looked helpless. "The Taobao system has given me a warning to keep down my spam sales; otherwise, the system will deem it as fraudulent activity."

"Ahem, Master Chi, you're accusing us wrongly. We've really restrained ourselves. You see, we didn't even buy as many as we did last time. Besides, your talismans are really useful and also so cheap, so we unknowingly bought more." On the other end, Yang Hongsheng immediately complained of being wronged.

Chi Shuyan only felt a headache and was at a loss when she heard this. "What are you guys buying so many for? It's not like you can eat them. Even if you have a large family, one each is enough."

"How could that be enough, Master Chi? There are certainly not too many of these sorts of Protective Talismans." Yang Hongsheng replied and continued to complain, "Moreover, Master Chi, aren't there too few of the products you uploaded? It's not even enough for a few of us to snap up. I can't beat these guys every time, so why don't you upload more?"

Chi Shuyan was really angry and amused. Instead of trying to get them to buy fewer, Yang Hongsheng complained about the lack of uploaded products. Could she upload a bit more? She knew that the rarer something was, the greater its value. If she did upload that many, the talismans and magic weapons would become worthless.

Chi Shuyan said a few words to Yang Hongsheng, telling them to restrain themselves, and scolding him several times before hanging up.

As soon as she ended the call, she looked up and saw a message on the Taobao platform system on her computer that another new customer had placed an order. Again? Because someone placed an order yesterday and the day before yesterday, the business had improved a little recently. Chi Shuyan pursed her lips. Excluding Yang Hongsheng and those troublesome four, there had been a few orders in succession recently.

Chi Shuyan blinked. It had also been boring drawing talismans lately, so she would have to see what she could sell.

The next day, Chi Shuyan was ready to go to school early in the morning when she heard the ringing on her phone. She opened the Taobao software on her phone and was dumbfounded. She had more than a dozen orders. The products that had just been uploaded a few days ago were sold out again. If it weren't for many customers urging her to restock, she would have thought it was Yang Hongsheng's work again.

Chi Shuyan immediately uploaded another batch of talismans and magic weapons, this time adjusting the price higher, and closed the webpage.

In a small villa where an inch of land was equal to an inch of gold in the capital, a teenager guarded his computer while repeatedly refreshing a page and upon seeing the product page pop up, he quickly joined the new round of frenzied shopping.

"Damn it! These beasts are just too quick to beat! It's gone?" Qi Yunxuan threw the mouse, stomped his foot in anger and hatred, and cursed.

"Brother, do you still have that jade pendant magic weapon you bought last time?" Qi Yunchang ran excitedly into Qi Yunxuan's room with a delicate, crisp voice.

Qi Yunxuan didn't even look at her and shook his head impatiently. He stared straight at the page until he was sure he couldn't buy products anymore. He sighed and said unhappily, "There's no more. The prices of these talismans and jade pendant magic weapons have increased, doubled. They've doubled but there are still many people fighting over them!"

"Ah? It has increased so fast? Wasn't it only 10,000 last time?" Qi Yunchang looked at the page and was astonished. She immediately came back to her senses and acted cute towards Qi Yunxuan. "Brother, don't lie to me. I remember you bought more than 10 pieces last time, didn't you? How could it be gone? I know I was wrong to call you a wastrel last time. How could I have known that this is actually really useful?"

Seeing that Qi Yunxuan was unmoved, Qi Yunchang immediately told him what had happened today, which caused her to feel a chill run down her spine. "Brother, you don't know, but a terrifying thing happened today. Someone confessed to a good friend of mine before, but she rejected him. Who would have thought that the man was so sick that he brought a bucket of messy stuff and splashed it on her. I was almost hurt. Fortunately, that jade pendant emitted a green light and we escaped from it."

"Splashed something? He didn't splash sulfuric acid, did he?" Qi Yunxuan immediately got somewhat furious when he heard this. He had heard on the news about such horrible things as men splashing sulfuric acid on women who rejected them.

"No, it was just sh*t, but Shanshan and I almost threw up. Fortunately, all the feces bounced back on that man instead. Hahaha, he had it coming!" Qi Yunchang recalled the sorry appearance of that man and after her lingering fear, she complacently gloated over his misfortune. After feeling pleased with herself, she felt disheartened again. She had given them all to Shanshan, so naturally she couldn't take them back.

"Sigh, Sister, it's not that I don't want to give you some." Qi Yunxuan scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Didn't my brothers laugh at me before? Once I found out that the jade pendant was useful, I couldn't resist showing it off to them, so they split them up one by one. The price wasn't too high, so I thought I'd buy more next time. Who would have known that the price would increase so fast?"

"Brother, how could you do that?"

Qi Yunxuan smiled in embarrassment. He suddenly thought of something and clenched his fists indignantly. "Perhaps, the people fighting with me now over the talismans and magic weapons are these b*tches!"

Qi Yunchang: "…"
