"Oh dear, your general store is really hard to find! Is Master Zhong here? I heard that Master Zhong can exorcise ghosts. Our building is haunted. Please help exorcise those ghosts!"
After the woman's explanation, Lin Xuan and Zhong Fabai understood what was going on.
It turns out that her family's property, Maple Forest Building, is haunted, and not just one or two, but a whole group of ghosts.
Although no one has died yet, the tenants in the building are very scared and want to move out.
Left with no other option, the landlady had to find a way to exorcise the ghost, and through an introduction, she found Zhong Fabai.
Zhong Fabai's general store is not a proper general store; he also does part-time work exorcising ghosts and performing rituals.
However, since Zhong Fabai had captured almost all the ghosts in the vicinity, he gradually lost his business.
Now that the Ghost Festival has just passed, the gates of hell are wide open, and there seems to be some change in the world, leading to a surge in ghosts.
Business is here!
"If you can handle this, I'll give you a generous reward, 100,000, is that enough?"
The landlady gritted her teeth and gave a rather generous figure.
She owns the entire Maple Forest Building and earns tens of thousands of yuan a month from rent.
Spending 100,000 yuan to fix the ghosting issue now isn't too bad!
Otherwise, if all the tenants run away and no one pays the rent, she will lose more than just this amount in a month or two!
"One hundred thousand yuan!" Zhong Fabai's eyes lit up; he was already tempted.
I spent a lot of money on medicinal herbs before, and this 100,000 yuan can help with the subsidies.
Raising apprentices is very expensive!
Besides, the grocery store is usually almost empty. If he doesn't take on some business to supplement his income, he'll starve!
"Lin Xuan, consider this a valuable experience. Come with me!"
Zhong Fabai took on the job.
Lin Xuan naturally had no objection. He wanted to go even if Zhong Fabai hadn't mentioned it, since he could kill ghosts.
Those are all merit points.
"This young man is really handsome. You're a sorcerer too, right? Sigh, what's so good about being a sorcerer? All you do is talk about ghosts and gods all the time, it's unlucky. I know some production crew members on movie sets, how about I introduce you to a star?"
After finishing the business deal, the landlady felt relieved and then noticed that Lin Xuan was a handsome young man.
"No need, I really like my current job."
Lin Xuan shook his head and refused.
"Oh, don't be so quick to refuse. You don't know how great it is to be a celebrity. You're out in high-class places every day and you're surrounded by high society."
"If you're willing, I can use money to make you a star, and you'll enjoy endless wealth and the best of everything."
"There's absolutely no need to live in this dilapidated, out-of-the-way corner!"
The landlady did indeed take a liking to Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan is not only handsome, but also has a reassuring aura that makes him instantly likable.
Lin Xuan was both amused and exasperated, never expecting to be mistaken for a gigolo.
"No need, landlady. Since you know any script supervisors or executives, why not just hire a celebrity? I'm not in that line of work," Lin Xuan said bluntly.
"Tch, you don't know what's good for you!" The landlady rolled her eyes, seeing that Lin Xuan wasn't giving her any chance.

Chapter Thirty-Two: The Investigation into the Counterfeit Money Case Leads to a Ghostly Encounter; He Fenny's Secret Love
Soon, the three of them headed towards the Maple Forest Building.
Upon arriving at the building, you can see many tenants moving their belongings, preparing to leave.
"Oh dear, Master, look, all my tenants have left. When are we going to start the ritual?" the landlady said anxiously.
“This place is indeed eerie, but these evil spirits don’t dare to show themselves in broad daylight. We’ll have to wait until night to catch them!” Zhong Fabai said.
Apart from some powerful vengeful ghosts and ghost kings, ordinary evil spirits dare not show themselves in the daytime; they die the moment they are exposed to sunlight.
Of course, this is just a general rule; there are always exceptions.
When Zhong Fabai said that the evil spirits would only dare to show themselves at night, the landlady knew that there was no use in worrying.
Zhong Fabai entered the building to prepare to set up an altar for exorcising ghosts.
The area is filled with yin energy and there are many evil spirits. Setting up an altar here can save a lot of spiritual energy.
Lin Xuan was about to follow him inside.
Just then, he saw two familiar figures walking towards him from not far away.
"He Fenny, Xiong Dada?"
Beside the two were two other girls, one who looked somewhat like Hong Kong star Sharla Cheung, and the other who resembled Sandra Ng.
"Consultant Lin, what are you doing here?"
Upon seeing Lin Xuan, He Fenny and Xiong Dada were overjoyed and rushed over.
The other two girls also came over and looked at Lin Xuan curiously.
"Who is Consultant Lin?"
Neither of them knew Lin Xuan.
"What are you doing here?" Lin Xuan asked He Fenny.
"We've been assigned a task; we've been sent here to investigate a counterfeit money case!"
He Fenny blushed as she spoke, because their task was to pretend to be prostitutes and rent a house here.
Normally, He Fenny would not have participated in a mission like this.
However, since the suspect had already been identified, no action was taken only to catch him red-handed; this mission was purely for show.
Hu was afraid that the previous incident would displease the big boss behind He Fenny, so he gave He Fenny this task of getting credit for nothing.
He also squeezed his niece in!
Speak of Hu, and Hu arrives.
Hu was carrying a bunch of things, with Jin Maiji and Meng Chao following behind him.
"Consultant Lin, what are you doing here?"
Upon seeing Lin Xuan, Hu's first words were also this.
Lin Xuan looked at the group of people and shook his head helplessly.
"I came here, of course, because this place is haunted!"
"I don't know if you guys are just unlucky, but it seems like you're always surrounded by ghosts?"
At this moment, Lin Xuan also remembered that the building, the counterfeit money case, and the ghost-catching were all part of the plot of "The Haunted Building".
"Ah! There's a ghost!"
Upon hearing Lin Xuan's words, Hu ir and the others' expressions changed.
They never imagined that such a coincidence could happen in this world.
Even the random houses I rent are full of shady characters!
However, the counterfeit money transaction was imminent and urgent.
They had already arranged to meet Da Sha in this building tonight, and there was no way they could change their plans at the last minute.
"You don't need to worry, the case can proceed as usual. My master and I are both here tonight, and the evil spirits in this building can't cause any trouble!"
Lin Xuan said this because he was confident.
With the Golden Light Mantra, he dared to fight even the Ghost King.
Not to mention, the building is filled with yin energy, but it doesn't have a very strong aura; at most, there's a vengeful ghost there.
As for vengeful ghosts, Lin Xuan doesn't take them seriously at all.
How many punches of Lightning Thunder Fist can a vengeful ghost withstand?
With Lin Xuan's words, Hu ir naturally felt relieved.
This international counterfeit currency case was his first case after being reinstated as director, and it was a credit that had been handed to him, so he couldn't afford to fail.
Hu and others went to the rented house to set up the scene.
Lin Xuan naturally went to his master to set up a ghost-catching altar.
In a rental house.
Amin asked Hu ir curiously, "Uncle, who is that Consultant Lin? Why did you believe him when he said there were ghosts here?"
