Dream Walker: Feng Shui Master Bai Ya
Chapter 72 Ouroboros Undercover
Li Weiqiang led Shang Muchen to the depths of the garden behind the company compound, a secluded place with no one around and a wide view.
"Uncle Li, what's all this mystery about?" Shang Muchen asked.
"I want you to go undercover this time."
"Huh?" Shang Muchen grinned. "Uncle Li, look at me, do I look like an undercover agent?"
What kind of elite figures are Lau Kin-ming and Chan Wing-yan?
No, no, please spare me!
Offering one's body as alms, like feeding mosquitoes, is one thing, but sacrificing oneself to feed a tiger is far too virtuous—I could never do that!
"Hey, it's not that complicated." Li Weiqiang waved his hand and said, "Xiao Shang, you don't need to go undercover for that long, a day and a night will do!"
"I...I'm scared...Please don't frighten me!"
"Hey, Xiao Shang, don't try to act with me. I know you're incredibly bold, and I know you're incredibly clever!"
Li Weiqiang lightly punched Shang Muchen in the chest and said, "First, it's not a big deal; second, the benefits are huge!"
Shang Muchen really didn't want to agree, and he regretted a thousand times that he hadn't listened to his fourth uncle and gotten involved with Li Weiqiang.
Li Weiqiang, not allowing Shang Muchen to refute him, continued:
"The matter is very simple, and it's something only you can do. Here's what it is:"
A minor incident occurred at the Shanbei District Detention Center—it was haunted at night.
You know, in our line of work, we absolutely cannot accept anything supernatural, so the higher-ups suppressed the matter.
But one of my younger brothers is currently the duty officer in the detention center, and he can't stand the way the kids are causing trouble every night. He asked me for an idea.
I just want to find your fourth uncle, stay overnight in the detention center, and see how things are going.
Alas, that old slippery eel... the old master, he's avoiding me; I can't contact him.
"No, Uncle Li, if your place is haunted, you should either hire a monk or a Taoist priest, or at the very least, a shaman or something."
I'm a feng shui master, but that's not my specialty!
"Hey! Look at what you're saying! The detention center hiring a monk to chant sutras, what kind of nonsense is that!"
Moreover, when it comes to ghost stories, they are related to geography.
At the very back of the detention center's cells is an old warehouse. There's something strange about it there, and I'd like you to take a look.
"Why not just take a look? Why go undercover?" Shang Muchen said, scratching his head.
"The reason is simple: as long as we go to check, there's no disturbance there; it only gets noisy when the prisoners are there," Li Weiqiang said mysteriously.
"So, I have no choice but to pretend you're a prisoner and lock you up for the night."
"Oh! So you mean to fabricate a charge against me, lock me up in a detention center for a night, and then help you find out where it's haunted?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I mean!"
"Oh my! Uncle Li, forgive my bluntness, but your idea is really, really..."
"That's incredibly unethical!"
"you do not say!"
"Haha, your efforts weren't in vain; you've gotten your share of the benefits."
"What's in it for me? You can't lock me up for a night."
"You'll definitely get your share of the benefits."
I can personally act as guarantor for Liu Qingyang's father and help him get medical parole.
As soon as Li Weiqiang said that, Shang Muchen was speechless.
Li Weiqiang laughed and said, "How about it? I'll personally vouch for your father-in-law, aren't you going to help me?"
"He's not my father-in-law yet, we're not even married in..." Shang Muchen mumbled weakly.
"Huh? It seems my information was inaccurate. Old Liu's daughter didn't get along with you?"
"Forget it then, let's leave it at that. I'm not going to get involved anymore." Li Weiqiang waved his hand and was about to leave.
"No way! Uncle Li! Please go all the way!" Shang Muchen quickly grabbed Li Weiqiang and said, "I'll go, it's just one night."
I'll try it out too, just as a cautionary tale, to avoid making the same mistakes in the future.
Upon hearing this, Li Weiqiang immediately smiled and nodded, saying, "I knew it, you're a sensible child."
However, you must remember that you cannot reveal this to anyone, including your fourth uncle.
"The reason is simple, we still have our pride!" Li Weiqiang said, gently touching his cheek.
"No way! Then I'd have worked for nothing!" Shang Muchen pouted and said, "How can I maintain a good reputation if Liu Qingyang doesn't know? At least let her and her father know!"
"Okay, I understand what you mean," Li Weiqiang nodded.
"Okay, it's settled then. You can't tell anyone the details of this, but I promise to let the Liu family know how hard you've worked."
After some haggling, the two reached an agreement.
Li Weiqiang asked Shang Muchen what he needed to prepare, but Shang Muchen didn't know what to prepare, so he simply decided to go ahead and do it anyway.
After lunch, Li Weiqiang drove the police car, carrying Shang Muchen, out of the urban area of Yanji City and into the northern suburbs.
Upon reaching Shanbei Road, we turned into a secluded, old factory, where a police car was parked in front of a large blue-painted iron gate.
After registering, the large iron gate opened, and three middle-aged policemen came out to greet us.
The leader exchanged a glance with Li Weiqiang, nodded knowingly, then looked at Shang Muchen and asked, "Is it him?"
Li Weiqiang feigned indifference and said, "It's him."
"Let's go." The lead policeman led Shang Muchen toward the entrance of the detention center.
Shang Muchen looked back at Li Weiqiang pitifully. Considering that Li Weiqiang had repeatedly told him in the car that the act had to be done properly and that he shouldn't give himself away, Shang Muchen didn't dare to say anything.
After watching Shang Muchen enter the detention center building, Li Weiqiang smiled, turned around and went back to his car. He sat in the driver's seat, picked up his phone, and made a call.
"The matter is settled. I've sent Shang Muchen in."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a man leaned out from the back seat. It was Shang Muchen's older brother, Shang Muming.
"Thank you for your trouble, Uncle Li," Shang Muming said with a smile.
"Oh my god, you scared me! How did you get in?" Li Weiqiang glared at him and whispered, "There are cameras everywhere here. Don't let anyone see you get into my car!"
"Don't worry about this. The camera can't capture me; the frequency is incompatible."
"Hey, you're really wicked! Sending your brother to the detention center, what a despicable idea! And then you make me take the blame!" Li Weiqiang laughed.
Shang Muming shook his head with a wry smile and said, "There's nothing I can do. He's still immersed in his dream and can't wake up. I have to push him a little."
"Mu Ming, be careful in your actions and pay attention to boundaries."
If Ning Yinxiao finds out about what you've been doing behind the scenes, he'll definitely be furious.
"You know Ning Laohu's temper. If he gets carried away, who knows how many more lives he'll kill? Who can control him?"
"I understand. I'll take care of things with Brother Ning," Shang Muming said amicably.
"Uncle Li, it's the same thing I told you before: if you want to completely eradicate 'Sakaki Lotus,' you have to rely on my brother."
The sooner the Twelve Zodiac Formation is broken, the sooner my brother awakens from his Brahma dream, and the sooner 'Sakakiren' will be finished.
"Hey, fine, I can only listen to you. What else can I do?" Li Weiqiang shook his head with a wry smile.
"I really don't dare tell the Supernatural Disaster Management Bureau about this."
I don't know how long I can keep this up for you, anyway... hey? Shang Muming? Where are you?
Li Weiqiang looked at the back seat of the car again, but Shang Muming had already disappeared.
