Dream Walker: Feng Shui Master Bai Ya

Leaving the coffee shop, Shang Muchen chased after Liu Qingyang, running all the way to escape the Oriental Zun Building.

Strolling along the bustling CBD streets, Shang Muchen looked at the sullen Liu Qingyang, unsure of what to say to comfort her. Suddenly, he slapped his thigh and said:

"Liu Qingyang, let's go to 'Sushi Dragon' too! It's on me."

Dude, I'm a rich kid, so what if it's just sushi that costs one or two thousand yuan per person?

It's not like we're going to spend all our money on this. I have the money, I'll treat you.

Liu Qingyang shook his head and said, "Shang Muchen, you don't need to get angry with Lu Mingdi, and you don't need to compare yourself with him."

He is the only son of a conglomerate with assets worth hundreds of billions; you can't compare to him.

Let me put it this way: his cronies—the one with glasses, the curly-haired guy, the short guy—are all rich young masters worth hundreds of millions. The amount they spend in a month at karaoke bars is more than you've spent in your entire life.

Shang Muchen fell into an awkward silence.

"I'm not that kind of snob. I come from a military family, after all."

My dad trained me from a young age. I participated in a wilderness survival training camp at fourteen, traversed the Aotai Highway at sixteen, and joined the army at eighteen. I served two full years, guarding the border and standing guard. I only returned to university after my discharge. What hardships haven't I endured?

Liu Qingyang said softly, "I can endure hardship."

"The way you're talking makes it sound like you're about to start living a hard life with me," Shang Muchen said with an awkward laugh.

Liu Qingyang suddenly stopped, turned around, and said in a serious tone, "Shang Muchen! Don't misunderstand, I have no feelings for you."

My dad is worried that I won't be able to get married. He knows that the boys I know in my circle of friends all come from very good families, so their parents attach great importance to inheriting the family business and are very selective about their future plans.

My dad was afraid because his status as a corrupt official would lead to me being disliked and ostracized by them, and he was afraid I would be wronged.

Shang Muchen, get this straight, I'm not rushing to be your girlfriend.

We have no relationship whatsoever. I only agreed to it to put my dad at ease.

Do you understand what I mean?

Shang Muchen nodded with a wry smile, shrugged lightly, and said, "Liu Qingyang, I'm not the kind of person who takes advantage of others or tries to take advantage of them."

I never intended for you to do anything; you were the one who said it today.

I'm a straightforward person, I say what I think. I really like you. You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, and your frank personality makes me think you're very cute.

However, I don't know you, and you don't know me; we've never spent any time together.

So, to be honest, I don't love you to that extent at all, you know what I mean?

"Very good!" Liu Qingyang extended his hand, making a handshake gesture, and said, "I also really like your straightforward attitude."

Let's deal with my dad first. Hope this helps.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Shang Muchen shook hands with him.

"I'll treat you to dinner tonight," Liu Qingyang said. "After all, I asked you to do something for me, so I can't keep letting you spend money. Otherwise, I'll really owe you a favor."

What do you like to eat?

"I love Japanese food," Shang Muchen said with a smile.

"You don't need to flatter me," Liu Qingyang said. "Even if you do, I won't act like some down-on-her-luck princess, sweetly promising to repay you."

How do you know I'm trying to please you?

"I do like Japanese food, so that's our first thing in common," Shang Muchen said.

"Don't spend any money. I have a membership card for a conveyor belt sushi restaurant. Let's go eat some cheap sushi. It's your treat."

"Okay." Liu Qingyang nodded.

After dinner, the two strolled along the CBD streetlights for a long time, chatting as they walked, until late at night, before Shang Muchen finally put Liu Qingyang in a taxi.

Is this what dating is all about?

It seems like we could talk forever; it's really interesting.

She's so cute.

Shang Muchen walked home alone, feeling a warm glow in his heart.

After walking for a long time, passing by a street full of high-rise apartment buildings, Shang Muchen scratched his head, wondering where he was.

Even though the subway is gone, I shouldn't be so greedy; I should take a taxi home.

Suddenly, a heart-wrenching bark ripped through the dark night sky.

Although Shang Muchen was not afraid of dogs, it was still quite frightening to hear a dog howling wildly in the deep night on a deserted street.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a stray dog ​​inside the community fence, with a huge black dog tightly biting its neck.

The black dog hid in the shadows, its breed indiscernible, but it was the size of a bicycle, and its gaping maw was even larger than that of an ordinary dog, comparable to a car wheel. With a sudden bite, it tore off the stray dog's head.

Blood gushed out and splattered all over the wall, startling Shang Muchen.

Immediately afterwards, the huge black dog devoured the stray dog's remains in a few bites.

Shang Muchen was stunned. Suddenly realizing what was happening, he quickly turned and ran away. Seeing a bus drive by, he didn't care where it was going, he ran onto the bus and fled home.

Even after I got home, my heart was still pounding.

Lying in bed, I turned on my phone, and suddenly a message from Liu Qingyang popped up:

Thank you for spending time with me, I had a great time tonight.

A cute bunny sticker was attached at the end.

She's so cute.

Shang Muchen replied with a smiley face.

Suddenly, another message popped up on my phone. It was from my fourth uncle, whom I hadn't contacted for several days:

【We've got a job. Come with me to Tianlu Jiayuan tomorrow】

【receive】

The next morning, Shang Muchen arrived at a residential community called "Tianlu Jiayuan" at the agreed time.

Upon arrival, I realized that this was the same neighborhood where I had seen the strange dog last night.

My fourth uncle was still the same as always, looking old-fashioned and standing at the entrance of the residential area with a tattered cloth bag in his hand.

"Fourth Uncle".

"Come on, come with me, I'll show you some new and interesting things."

Fourth Uncle led Shang Muchen into the residential area and headed straight for the property management office.

The property manager came out to greet him, clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute to Uncle Shang, and said with a smile, "Master Shang! You've arrived just in time."

"Manager Sun, General Manager Wang asked me to come and take a look. He said something unsettling has happened in our neighborhood. What exactly is going on?"

Fourth Uncle stroked his sparsely bearded cheeks and asked in a pretentious manner.

"Well, it's a long story... You'll have to see for yourself."

The property manager turned on the surveillance camera.

The screen lights up, showing a stray dog ​​rummaging through a trash can in a residential area late at night.

Suddenly, it was suspended in mid-air, hanging upside down, and then, with a snap, its neck broke.

In the next scene, the stray dog's head disappears instantly, and blood sprays all over the wall.

Immediately afterwards, his entire body seemed to be swallowed up by something invisible, and he disappeared into mid-air.

"There have been three incidents this month, involving two cats and one dog," the property manager said helplessly. "If this continues, the cleaning staff will quit. They're so scared of washing the walls that they'll have to call the police."

"Master Shang, should we call the police?"

"Hmm," Fourth Uncle nodded, without drawing a conclusion, "Take us to the scene and take a look."

On the way, Shang Muchen whispered, "Fourth Uncle, I saw it last night..."

"Oh?" Fourth Uncle raised an eyebrow and asked in a low voice, "What did you see?"

Shang Muchen whispered it over and over.

Uncle Si's eyes lit up, and he nodded happily, saying, "I knew it! I knew you could do it! Xiao Chen, you've finally opened your eyes!"
