The phone was quickly answered. Zhou Cheng hesitated a lot, but finally, under Yuan Mu Ye's gaze, he blurted it out.

As soon as Yu Hai Jing heard what he had done, she was furious. She didn't expect to have such a person under her command. Someone like that definitely couldn't stay by her side, or she wouldn't know when he'd sell her out.

There's a saying, "The person you look down on the most might be the most powerful!"

Yu Hai Jing said in a low voice, "Tomorrow, after you collect your salary from the finance department, you don't have to come to work anymore. I know it's not easy for you, so I'll tell everyone that you resigned yourself."

At this point, Yu Hai Jing was still considering things for him, which could be considered the best she could do.

Zhou Cheng thanked Yu Hai Jing and looked at Yuan Mu Ye, asking, "Can I leave now?"

"Go," Yuan Mu Ye didn't want to push things too far. He felt that the lesson had been delivered adequately.

As Zhou Cheng turned to leave, Yuan Mu Ye's mind echoed with the system's voice: "Negative emotional value from Zhou Cheng +999!"

It seemed this kid really hated him to the core!

But that was normal. Zhou Cheng had lost his job because of Yuan Mu Ye, so it would be strange if he didn't hate Yuan Mu Ye.

Yuan Mu Ye shook his head helplessly. It was clearly Zhou Cheng's own fault, so why was he blaming it on him?

After watching Zhou Cheng leave, Yuan Mu Ye turned and went back to the hotel.

When he got back to the hotel, Li Pang Pang was still sitting in the lobby waiting for him.

Yuan Mu Ye looked at Li Pang Pang with some surprise. "Why haven't you gone up yet?"

"I was worried about you!" Li Pang Pang was indeed worried about Yuan Mu Ye, fearing it was a trap.

Yuan Mu Ye yawned and said, "What, you're afraid something will happen to me? Even if something happens to you, nothing will happen to me."

Li Pang Pang laughed. "Right, right, right!"

If it were in the past, Li Pang Pang would definitely have gotten angry if he heard Yuan Mu Ye say that, but now he not only wasn't angry, but he was also laughing gleefully.

Yuan Mu Ye was a little surprised at first, but then he thought that maybe Li Pang Pang had grown up!

He was quite gratified about this.

After all, tonight, when he refused to have dinner with Yu Hai Jing, Li Pang Pang didn't have much of a reaction.

Back in the room, Li Pang Pang ordered another meal. After eating, he fell into bed and snored loudly!

After traveling all day, Yuan Mu Ye also felt a little tired. He lay in bed and fell asleep before long.

He didn't know how long he had been asleep, but Yuan Mu Ye vaguely heard someone knocking on the door. At first, he thought he was dreaming, but after opening his eyes, he realized he wasn't dreaming. Someone was indeed knocking on the door.

Yuan Mu Ye checked the time. It was only a little after one in the morning. Who would be looking for him so late?

He got out of bed with a puzzled look. After getting dressed, he went to the door and looked through the peephole.

What he didn't see didn't matter, but what he did see gave him a fright. There was no one outside the door, and the knocking stopped at the same time.

How strange!

Could it be that the person outside the door sensed Yuan Mu Ye and hid?

Yuan Mu Ye didn't pay much attention to it at first. He turned to go back to bed, but the moment he turned around, the knocking sounded again, which made him a little annoyed.

Since they came looking for him, why didn't they just show themselves? Why did they have to play this game with him?

This time, Yuan Mu Ye opened the door directly and looked down the hallway. It was still empty. A bad feeling suddenly welled up in his heart. If it was an evil ghost, he should be able to see it!

This was too strange!

Could it be something else?

The most terrifying thing was the invisible danger.

Yuan Mu Ye hesitated for a moment, then closed the door again. Since he couldn't see it, there was no point in leaving the door open.

But he didn't rush back to bed. Instead, he stood behind the door, planning to look through the peephole when the knocking sounded again.

He refused to believe in this evil!

Sure enough, as he expected, before long, the knocking sounded again.

Yuan Mu Ye looked through the peephole as quickly as he could, and this time he indeed saw something. Although he didn't see the person's face, he saw a dark shadow flash by.

If it was an evil ghost, there would definitely be a miasma of Yin energy, but now Yuan Mu Ye didn't feel any Yin energy, which proved that the thing outside wasn't an evil ghost.

Yuan Mu Ye didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing.

After hesitating, he opened the door again. Just like before, he still didn't see anything, but he knew that the dark shadow was definitely still there, he just couldn't see it.

"Since you're here, why don't you just show yourself? What's the point of this?" Yuan Mu Ye said to the empty hallway.

Actually, Yuan Mu Ye didn't expect the thing to show itself. If it wanted to show itself, it would have already done so. He said this because he wanted the thing to know that he knew of its existence.

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement in the hallway.

Yuan Mu Ye finally said, "I'm going to sleep, don't bother me anymore!"

After saying that, he closed the door.

Strangely enough, the thing really didn't bother him anymore, and he slept soundly until dawn.

When Yuan Mu Ye opened his eyes, he suddenly remembered something. Didn't that mysterious person say that last night was the deadline? Nothing had happened yet, could it be that the mysterious person forgot?

Impossible, right?

Just as he was wondering, a commotion suddenly came from outside the door.

"Something bad happened, someone's dead!"

It was a woman's voice.

At this time, Li Pang Pang, who was sleeping soundly, was also awakened.

Li Pang Pang sat up in bed, still a little dazed.

"I think I just heard someone say that someone's dead."

"Yeah, I'll go out and see what's going on."

Yuan Mu Ye immediately got out of bed and went outside to take a look. He saw a crowd of people gathered at the end of the hallway, and it seemed that something had happened.

He immediately walked over to take a look. It turned out that someone had died.

The deceased was a man, and his death was quite tragic.

The man was probably in his early thirties. His eyes had been gouged out, and his heart had also been gouged out. There were also three claw marks on his left face, as if he had been scratched by something's claws.

"Was he killed by an evil ghost?"

"Probably. Who would gouge out someone's eyes and heart besides an evil ghost?"

"That's too scary. An evil ghost snuck in, and we didn't even know. Does that mean Yun City isn't safe anymore?"

The onlookers were all talking at once, and everyone was getting more and more scared.

Under the current circumstances, things were indeed not good.

However, Yuan Mu Ye felt that the person in front of him wasn't killed by an evil ghost, but by the mysterious dark shadow from last night.
