Chapter 30 A Hot Potential Entrustment, Black Widow

Li Yuan, after receiving the check, looked at Bruce with some surprise:

"What kind of request?"

Bruce smiled and introduced in a soft voice:

"Mr. Li, I don't know if you've heard of the Dolphin Hotel in Manhattan, New York."

"Dolphin Hotel?"

Li Yuan found the name somewhat familiar, and he frowned, asking:

"What happened there?"

"Room 1408 in that hotel is a notorious haunted house."

"The hotel owner heard about your situation from Mr. Kaplan and would like to invite you to come and help take a look."

Upon hearing this string of numbers, Li Yuan's heart tightened.

It's the room from "1408: The Phantom Chamber"!

That's no ordinary evil spirit.

With his current abilities, he probably doesn't have any effective way to completely eradicate the things in the room.

Seeing Li Yuan hesitate, Bruce comforted him understandingly:

"It's alright, Mr. Li. You can try it whenever you want. After all, it has been around for many years."

"Okay, let's wait a while."

Li Yuan nodded and smiled, then said goodbye to Bruce:

"Please thank Mr. Kaplan for me."

Bruce bowed respectfully, then slowly left with the pie in his hand.

When Li Yuan closed the door and returned to his room, he found Edward standing in the kitchen.

He was holding a freshly baked pork liver pie and stuffing it into his mouth in big bites.

"Hey! Don't eat too much!"

When Li Yuan saw him pick up another piece, he quickly spoke up to stop him.

"I never expected Li Yuan to be able to make such delicious pies!"

Edward ignored Li Yuan's advice and stuffed another piece of pie into his mouth.

Li Yuan jogged over and saw that Edward had already eaten two pieces.

Li Yuan said helplessly, "You'll get what's coming to you later..."

"Wow, I only ate two of your pies, you're not asking me to pay for it with my body, are you?!"

Li Yuan stared at him with a mischievous grin for a moment, then muttered:

"Don't try to fool me, you'll find out in a bit."

It wasn't that Li Yuan was stingy with the money for the pies.

It was during the rescue operation that the food side effects were discovered in Juno.

After eating a pie, if there's nothing to do to quickly expend energy, a person will become very excited.

The best solution is to take a cold shower.

However, it was clear that Edward was unaware of this.

Soon Edward began pacing aimlessly around the room.

He seemed somewhat agitated.

"Wuhu~ It's starting~"

Li Yuan checked the status of his website on the computer.

She glanced at Edward out of the corner of her eye.

Edward glanced at Li Yuan furtively.

She tiptoed to the restroom.

Half an hour later...

Edward emerged from the bathroom looking dazed.

He spoke in a weak voice to Li Yuan, who was trying not to laugh:

"Li Yuan, I'm eating your food, I'm such a stupid donkey!"

"It's not my fault, I warned you..."

Edward rolled his eyes and staggered back to his room.

Fortunately, the pie's effect only lasts for half an hour and cannot be stacked.

Otherwise, Edward might have ascended to heaven right there in the bathroom.

The next morning, the two had just arrived at the office when they made an unexpected discovery.

A woman wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap was already waiting at the entrance of the firm.

"Hello, I'm Li Yuan."

Seeing a customer come to him, Li Yuan quickly got out of the car and said to the woman with a smile:

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

The woman slowly raised her head and stared at Li Yuan for a long while through the sunglasses that covered half her face.

Then, with a hint of doubt, he asked:

"How come you're so young?"

"Forehead..."

Li Yuan was momentarily speechless when asked the question.

His youth is indeed a disadvantage in his career.

He could only explain with a smile:

"I believe that age is never the only standard for measuring whether a person is professional in any profession."

Seemingly finding Li Yuan's words reasonable, the woman chuckled.

He then said, with a hint of deeper meaning, "You're right."

Seeing that the woman had no further objections, Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief:

"Then let's go inside and talk."

As he spoke, Li Yuan pushed open the shop door and let the woman in.

Why can't I get through to the phone number you left online?

The woman strode into the house, her displeased tone tinged with anxiety.

"Can't get through?"

Li Yuan turned back to look at Edward, who was getting out of the car, with a puzzled expression:

Where's your phone?

Edward, completely bewildered, pulled out his phone and exclaimed in surprise:

"Oh no, I forgot to charge it last night!"

Li Yuan rolled his eyes helplessly, then quickly turned his head to explain:

"I sincerely apologize for our mistake."

"It doesn't matter."

The woman sat down in the chair, slowly took off her sunglasses, and asked curiously:

"I watched the videos on your website, and you are indeed quite skilled."

"Thank you for your compliment..."

Li Yuan stared at the woman's face for a moment, then recognized her.

At the same time, I couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Isn't that my sister Scarlett Johansson? Oh, not yet. She's probably just starting to become famous around this time."

At this moment, Scarlett suddenly interrupted Li Yuan and voiced her question:

"But what I want to know is, does that potent exorcism potion sold on your website actually work?"

"Of course it works!"

As Li Yuan spoke, he took out a bottle of holy water and placed it in front of Scarlett, introducing it as follows:

"This isn't one of those holy waters used to scam people. If it doesn't work, you can come back anytime for a refund!"

"But it is indeed a bit expensive. My newly bought house cost less than 40..."

Scarlett looked at the golden, potent exorcism potion in front of her and couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

"Miss Scarlett, may I ask what happened to you?"

Scarlett took a deep breath and slowly recounted her recent experiences.

She just moved into her luxury apartment in Versailles, Hollywood this July.

Although she is often away filming and doesn't live there regularly,

But every time I return home, I experience some hallucinations.

"Yesterday when I got home to rest, I spotted a little boy, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye..."

Scarlett scratched her hair, looking somewhat dejected.

The hallucinations she's been experiencing lately have been giving her a lot of trouble.

Li Yuan asked hesitantly:

Have you...seen any doctor's visit recently?

His first task was to determine whether Scarlett was under too much pressure and had developed a mental problem.

"No!"

"If I go to see a psychiatrist, they'll definitely say all sorts of things about me..."

Scarlett sighed, looked up at Li Yuan, and instructed him:

"Can you keep this a secret?"

"certainly!"

Li Yuan smiled and nodded, offering words of comfort:

"This is the most basic professional ethics."

"Thank you."

Scarlett breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the holy water in front of her, and said:

"Then I'll buy one bottle, but you have to give me a refund if it doesn't work."

"No problem, you can come to me anytime if it doesn't work."

As he spoke, Li Yuan reminded Scarlett:

"If you experience hallucinations and can't find your target, drink some of it; it will also be effective."

"it is good."

Scarlett took out her checkbook and wrote Li Yuan a check for $10.

Then he added, "Remember to give me an invoice for the artwork."

"Don't worry..."

After sending Scarlett away, Li Yuan's business came to a temporary standstill.

Before we knew it, it was Halloween Eve, the 31st.

After closing the shop, Li Yuan and Edward returned to their apartment.

But at the door, he unexpectedly ran into his beautiful neighbor Laura, who lived across the hall.
