Chapter 45 A Murder Case

The call was quickly connected. Zhou Cheng hesitated a lot, but finally said it under Yuan Mu Ye's gaze.

When Yu Hai Jing heard what he had done, she was immediately furious. She didn't expect that she would have such a person under her command. Such a person must not be kept by her side, otherwise, she would be sold by him without even knowing it.

As the saying goes, the people you look down on the most might be the most powerful!

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

At this point, Yu Hai Jing was still considering his feelings, which could be considered benevolent.

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

"Go," Yuan Mu Ye didn't want to push things too far. Anyway, the lesson had been taught, and that was enough.

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

It seemed that this kid hated him to the core!

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

Yuan Mu Ye shook his head helplessly. It was clear that Zhou Cheng brought it upon himself, so how did it end up being his fault?

Watching Zhou Cheng leave, Yuan Mu Ye turned around and went back to the hotel.

When he returned 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 just worried about you!" Li Pang Pang was indeed worried about Yuan Mu Ye, afraid it was a trap.

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

Li Pang Pang laughed and said, "Right, right, right!"

If it had been before, Li Pang Pang would definitely have been angry if he heard Yuan Mu Ye say that, but now, not only was he not angry, but he was also laughing heartily.

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

He was quite pleased about this.

After all, he didn't react much tonight when he refused to have dinner with Yu Hai Jing.

Back in the room, Li Pang Pang ordered another meal. After eating, he fell on the bed and fell asleep!

After traveling for a whole day, Yuan Mu Ye also felt a little tired. He lay on the bed and fell asleep before long.

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

Yuan Mu Ye looked at 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 suspiciously, put on his clothes, walked to the door, and looked through the peephole.

He didn't know what he would see, but what he saw gave him a fright. There was no one outside the door, and the knocking stopped at that moment.

How strange!

Could it be that the person outside the door sensed Yuan Mu Ye, so they hid?

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

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

This time, Yuan Mu Ye directly opened the door and looked down the corridor, but it was still empty. He suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart. If it was a ghost, he should be able to see it!

This was too strange!

Could it be something else?

The most terrifying thing was unseen 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 this was happening!

Sure enough, as he expected, it wasn't long before the knocking came from outside the door again.

Yuan Mu Ye looked through the peephole as quickly as possible. This time, he finally saw something. Although he didn't see the person's face, he saw a black shadow dart past.

If it was a ghost, there would definitely be a miasma of Yin energy, but Yuan Mu Ye didn't feel any Yin energy, which proved that the thing outside wasn't a 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 black shadow was definitely still here, he just couldn't see it.

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

Actually, Yuan Mu Ye didn't expect the thing to show itself. If it wanted to show itself, it would have already done so. It wouldn't have gone through all this trouble. The reason he said this was to let the thing know that he knew of its existence.

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

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

After saying that, he closed the door.

Strangely enough, the thing really didn't bother him anymore, and he slept 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 had forgotten?

Impossible, right?

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

"It's terrible, 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 from the bed, still a little dazed.

"I think I heard someone say that someone died."

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

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

He immediately walked over to take a look and found 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, his heart had been gouged out, and there were three claw marks on the left side of his face, as if he had been scratched by something.

"Was he killed by a ghost?"

"Probably, who would gouge out someone's eyes and heart besides a ghost?"

"That's too scary. A ghost has sneaked in, and we didn't even know. Does that mean that Yun City is no longer safe?"

The onlookers were talking about it, and everyone became more and more frightened as they talked.

The current situation was indeed not very good.

However, Yuan Mu Ye felt that the person in front of him was not killed by a ghost, but by the mysterious black shadow from last night.
