Chapter 1 Zhou Zong Wants to Raise Pets

What Boss Zhou said about raising some small animals wasn’t just a whim or idle talk; he suddenly remembered that in his bookstore's Book of Life and Death, there were still two Northeast Immortals hanging around.

It wasn't right to keep them locked up like that all the time. He had to think of a way to let them out and play a role, to contribute to the future construction of the bookstore.

So, when he came out of the villa, Zhou Ze directly ordered the old Taoist to buy a snake and a weasel.

The old Taoist nodded in agreement.

Although it might be a bit difficult to buy a weasel in Tong City, the old Taoist was confident he could do it. He had a very accurate understanding of his position.

When the boss needed someone to run errands, he would run those errands well, perfectly. When the boss was tired and needed someone to push him from behind, he would also push.

On the way back, the little loli was very excited, constantly talking to Lawyer An, probably seeking advice on how to improve her "tongue skills,"

How to make her ventriloquism better.

Lawyer An also offered some guidance,

Which greatly benefited the little loli.

This day was like a stone thrown into a pool; in reality, not many ripples were stirred.

However,

When Zhou Ze came out of the bedroom that night,

He noticed some movement in Lao Xu's room.

Pushing open Lao Xu's door,

Zhou Ze saw Lao Xu sitting at his desk, drawing talismans.

He was bare-chested,

Carefully drawing the talismans with his finger dipped in vermilion-like paint,

Even with the air conditioner on, he was sweating profusely.

And his lower body,

Was in a horse stance.

This was truly exercising and drawing talismans at the same time.

Zhou Ze's eyes widened in shock.

If it were in the past, Xu Qinglang would definitely have loathed doing the horse stance, feeling that it would make his muscles too developed and affect the shape of his legs.

"Lao Xu, working hard?"

Xu Qinglang nodded, not even turning his head to look at Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze, feeling snubbed, walked out of the door.

Downstairs,

He saw the little loli sitting in the private room. Through the crack in the door, he could see her constantly forming hand seals, her tongue darting about, making "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sounds.

Deadpool was sitting with Lawyer An. Lawyer An seemed to be talking to him about something, and Deadpool nodded as if he understood. Lawyer An was even using his phone to find photos and videos for Deadpool to watch.

Deadpool watched while sticking out his tongue to swallow the mosquitoes that flew over,

As for how much he actually understood, he probably didn't even know himself.

But Lawyer An was like a nursery teacher overflowing with love, constantly explaining things to him without the slightest impatience.

For a moment, Zhou Ze felt isolated.

Before, it was because his employees were all richer than him, and he was isolated.

Now, it was because his employees were all more hardworking than him, and he was isolated.

He sat down in his seat, and Yingying brought over tea and placed it in front of Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze sighed in relief. No matter how the world outside changed, Yingying would always be by his side, and that was enough.

"Boss, Lawyer An said that Yingying can't spend too much time playing games and has to practice kung fu, like taking a taekwondo class or something.

He said that even though Yingying is strong and healthy, she still doesn't know how to fight properly, so she needs to learn.

Yingying thinks he's right! That way, when the boss needs to fight in the future, he can send Yingying in!!!"

"............" Zhou Ze.

At this moment, Zhou Ze suddenly smelled a fragrance coming from the kitchen.

Lao Xu was clearly practicing in his room, so who would be cooking?

"Who's in the kitchen?" Zhou Ze asked.

At this time, the old Taoist came down from upstairs, touching his earlobe as he walked. Seeing Zhou Ze come down, he immediately shouted, as if asking for credit:

"Boss, the big stew is almost ready. How about we eat it as a midnight snack tonight?

It's not that I'm bragging, but it's really hard to find a lively weasel in this Tong City. Snakes are easier to find, there are plenty of them. But we don't have weasels here, and people here don't have a taste for wild game. It took a lot of effort to get one."

"And then you stewed them?"

Black lines were already appearing on Zhou Ze's face.

He had asked the old Taoist to buy a snake and a weasel to see if there was a chance to let the two Great Immortals in the Book of Life and Death possess them, even if it was just to be watchdogs.

But the old Taoist directly stewed the wild game he bought.

Did you want the two Great Immortals to possess the pot?

"That's right, don't worry, I have experience with this big stew. Two hundred years ago, when I went to the Northeast to catch demons, I..."

"Go buy two more live ones and keep them." Zhou Ze didn't bother to pay attention to the old Taoist anymore.

"Buy more?" The old Taoist was stunned.

"I want live ones!"

Why didn't you say so earlier!

"Boss, it was my oversight. I'll go out and buy them tomorrow. If Tong City doesn't have them, I'll go to the neighboring cities and counties to take a look."

Zhou Ze nodded and lay down on the sofa.

Everyone was doing their own thing.

What were they doing so hard for?

Wasn't it more comfortable to just lie down?

Then,

Zhou Ze sat up again,

And asked:

"Where did Lao Zhang go?"

Yes,

Where did Lao Zhang go?

When he went out in the morning, Zhou Ze told Lao Zhang to stay in the bookstore and let himself rest.

He remembered that when he came back in the morning, Lao Zhang was still in the store. Why was Lao Zhang gone after he took a nap?

"Oh, Lao Zhang, he went out for a walk to take a look around. He hasn't been gone long, only about two hours." The old Taoist replied.

"By the way, the monkey went with him too. I asked the little monkey to keep an eye on him, after all, he just possessed a corpse, and I was afraid something might happen to him."

Zhou Ze nodded, indicating that he knew, and at the same time instructed the old Taoist:

"Tomorrow, buy a few sets of clothes for Lao Zhang, and buy him a mobile phone and get him a card. As for his ID card..."

After thinking about it,

Zhou Ze still shook his head,

"For the time being, just let him stay in the bookstore, he doesn't need an ID card."

"Alright, I've noted it down."

After instructing these things, Zhou Ze lay down again. When it was completely dark, the old Taoist opened the bookstore door and turned on the neon sign, which meant that tonight's business was open.

Lawyer An walked to Zhou Ze's side, sat down, and wanted to reach out for the newly poured coffee in front of Zhou Ze.

As a result, Zhou Ze took the lead, picked up the coffee, took a big sip, and put it back down.

"............" Lawyer An.

"Things have changed a lot," Lawyer An said.

"Yeah."

Zhou Ze was actually thinking in his heart whether it was right or wrong to bring Lawyer An into the bookstore. According to Zhou Ze's previous thoughts, everyone should stay together in peace and comfort.

No need to be so bitter or so tired.

But obviously, Lawyer An didn't think so, and wasn't willing to do so. This person's purpose in doing things was too strong.

"By the way, he hasn't come back yet?" Lawyer An asked.

"Who?"

"That policeman."

"Not yet, probably went to find a place to drink."

"Oh."

Lawyer An frowned.

"What's wrong?"

"Next time, don't let him go out, because of that corpse."

"Isn't it the corpse of a drunkard?"

"Where did a drunkard come from in the middle of the night? Also, a drunkard, what drunkard?"

Lawyer An scratched his head, somewhat painfully, and said:

"I feel like I've forgotten something."

"Okay, skip it, skip it." Zhou Ze interrupted Lawyer An's self-talk. Since Lawyer An had forgotten about the pen, there was no need to mention it again. In fact, if he hadn't mastered that pen, Zhou Ze himself would have been "forgotten."

"Tell me specifically about that corpse, what's wrong?"

"That corpse can't be seen in the light for the time being, it might cause some trouble."

"Where did you get that corpse from?"

"I got it from a gang in a neighboring city. They seemed to have internal strife and drowned him."

"You at the time?"

"I was watching from the side, waiting to collect the corpse. I like this kind of corpse with a criminal record the most, it's convenient for me to put customers in jail."

"So, what Zhang Yanfeng possessed was a drug dealer?"

"Pretty much, but a small fry, not a big shot. Anyway, not the kind who would be executed as soon as he went in, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered.

I have freezers in Tong City, Changzhou, and a few other places, located in the wholesale market, which is convenient for me to store corpses. I take them out when I need to use them."

Zhou Ze reached out and stroked his forehead.

This fact,

Should be a big blow to Lao Zhang,

To be reincarnated from a policeman into a criminal.

"Squeak squeak squeak!!!!!!"

At this time,

The little monkey came in through the door, and then immediately jumped onto the bar, gesticulating wildly.

"Where's Lao Zhang?" Zhou Ze asked the monkey.

The little monkey immediately sat down, constantly putting things into its mouth with one hand and making a drinking gesture with the other, and also waving its mouth, showing a very spicy expression.

"Drinking peanut wine in a small restaurant?" Zhou Ze was stunned. "Where did he get the money?"

The little monkey patted its little backpack and took out several stacks of money from it.

Zhou Ze's eyes narrowed,

Even the monkey,

Was so rich?

"Did you treat him?" Lawyer An asked.

The monkey nodded.

"Then where is he now? Drunk and not back yet?" Zhou Ze asked.

The monkey shook its head,

Then raised its hands and waved them,

While constantly shouting "Chirp chirp chirp chirp..."

After listening for a long time,

Zhou Ze finally understood,

And immediately stood up and shouted:

"Lao Zhang was arrested by the police?"

What the monkey just imitated was the sound of a police siren!

Lao Zhang, who was reborn,

Was caught by his former subordinates or colleagues, that is, the policemen of the Tong City Police Department!

Lao Zhang was going to break down now,

He told himself during the day that he needed some time to reshape his worldview,

And now it was perfectly reshaped.

"Squeak squeak squeak!!!"

The monkey immediately nodded,

Then put its two fleshy paws together behind its back,

Bent over,

And walked back and forth on the bar,

Meaning,

Lao Zhang was handcuffed,

And taken away...
