Chapter 102 Visitors
Bai Yanliang did not have a boring time during this period.
Although no strange changes occurred after the black circle appeared on the palm of his left hand.
But Li Mu had sent a message before that the key... had arrived in Yecheng.
Regarding the person who Li Mu mentioned who looked very similar to himself, Bai Yanliang always felt that he was related to Yanren.
However, it would be difficult for Bai Yanliang to track down a criminal with such secretive whereabouts alone.
Therefore, during this period he also relied on the help of a lot of the Yecheng police.
Sure enough, the police system contained detailed information about that guy.
He was a criminal active in the Liangcheng area. His methods were extremely brutal and the crimes he committed were incredible.
He seems to have a true antisocial personality disorder and his motive for committing crimes is simply to please himself.
Just as Bai Yanliang was thinking about the key, there was a knock on the door outside the yard.
"Bai! Open the door, Bai!"
It’s Gao Fei.
This guy forgot to bring his keys again.
"Squeak..."
Bai Yanliang opened the door.
To his surprise, there was another person beside Gao Fei.
Gao Fei should be the same as me, a person with few friends.
Bai Yanliang's puzzled look quickly made Gao Fei understand what he meant.
"Oh! This is Mr. He. You are here to look at the house. Isn't there an empty room in our yard?"
Bai Yanliang suddenly realized and stretched out his right hand to shake hands with the other party.
"Hello, Bai Yanliang."
"Hello Mr. Bai, my name is He Yige."
The man is polite.
Bai Yanliang had a good first impression of him and pushed the door open a little.
"Please come in."
He Yige nodded and went into the yard with Gao Fei.
Bai Yanliang closed the door.
Judging from appearance alone, Mr. He is on par with Bai Yanliang.
He was tall, at least 1.85 meters tall, with bronze skin. His facial features were well-defined, his eyes were deep, and his lines were strong. When he walked, his back was straight, his steps were steady, and he didn't look sideways.
Edgar Allan Poe, who was dozing on the stone table, glanced at him lazily and closed his eyes again.
"Mr. Gao, is there a cat in the yard?"
He Yige turned around and asked.
"It, Bai picked it up from the alley outside. What's the problem?"
He Yige shook his head and smiled, "Nothing, it's just that it's rare to see a cat like me being so calm."
What He Yige said is very interesting. It sounds like he and animals don't get along well.
"This little guy is quite courageous. He dares to scratch anything he encounters." Gao Fei said proudly, although Bai Yanliang did not understand at all what he was proud of.
"Um...Mr. He, look...are you satisfied with this house?"
He Yige looked around, paused on the locust tree, and said, "Mr. Gao, it's not a good idea to plant trees in the yard, especially a locust tree."
Gao Fei was stunned. Many people had come to see the house before, and most of them said that the tree cast a shadow that made them feel uneasy. Only Bai Yanliang didn't think there was anything wrong. Now, He Yige also seemed to think there was something wrong, but the meaning of his words was even stranger.
"Well...is there any explanation?" Gao Fei asked.
"Planting trees in the yard means being trapped, and this tree happens to be a locust tree. Since ancient times, locust trees have been said to be the home of ghosts, and they have a very heavy yin energy. The layout of this yard will trap people when they are alive and ghosts when they die, which is a bit unlucky." He Yige said seriously after looking around.
The more Gao Fei listened, the bigger his mouth grew. Could this Mr. He be a Feng Shui master?
"But I'm just talking. Most taboos are just psychological factors. You two have lived here for so long, isn't it okay?" He Yige smiled and said, "I'm very satisfied with this place, Mr. Gao, let's sign the contract."
Originally Gao Fei thought that He Yige was dissatisfied and wanted to leave, but unexpectedly, the situation took a turn and he actually agreed to rent the house.
Bai Yanliang watched Gao Fei happily pulling He Yige to sign the contract, and touched the little black cat's head.
"We're getting new neighbors, Edgar Allan Poe."
The little black cat moved its ears but did not open its eyes.
At this moment, Bai Yanliang's cell phone suddenly rang. In fact, he had always been curious about how his number was known by so many people, but he never had the chance to ask.
Looking at the unfamiliar number on his phone, Bai Yanliang thought for a moment and pressed the answer button.
"Hello."
"Ah."
Bai Yanliang was stunned. It was really rare to see someone responding to a greeting with "hmm".
Moreover, the other party's voice... Bai Yanliang was sure he had never heard it before, but the tone sounded strangely familiar.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
"Xu Zhifei."
Xu Zhifei? Bai Yanliang remembered him as soon as he heard the name.
She left a deep impression on Bai Yanliang, not because she was also a member of Li Mu's private chat room, but because... faced with the strange call, she was the only one who chose to refuse to answer it.
"Miss Xu, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Meet."
"Now?"
"Number 9, Champs-Elysées."
"..."
The other party hung up the phone.
Bai Yanliang looked at his phone which showed the call was ended and suddenly remembered something.
That's why he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity when listening to Xu Zhifei's voice.
Because, this is exactly the same as himself.
He looked calm and indifferent even if the sky fell, which aroused a little interest in Bai Yanliang, who had not planned to go.
What does she want from me?
After thinking for a while, Bai Yanliang touched Poe and asked, "I'm going out, are you coming?"
He Yige, who was signing a contract in the room, watched Bai Yanliang talking to a cat with interest. Gao Fei was afraid that He Yige would misunderstand Bai Yanliang as a weirdo, so he quickly explained: "He is like this, he likes to talk to small animals."
He Yige smiled and said, "Very good."
Over there, the little black cat opened its eyes, stretched, jumped up, and lay on Bai Yanliang's shoulder.
"I'm going out." Bai Yanliang greeted Gao Fei.
Gao Fei waved his hand, and He Yige nodded and smiled in a friendly manner.
……
No. 9 Champs-Elysées.
This is the upper reaches of Yeshui River. There is a very famous nightclub at No. 9 Xiangxie Road - Ferry.
Bai Yanliang got out of the car and stood in front of the nightclub called Ferry. It was hard for him to imagine that the woman with the calm tone would ask him to meet here.
However, before he could stand there for long, his cell phone rang again.
"Turn left, head toward the river, and go thirty meters."
Xu Zhifei's cold voice rang out on the phone.
It turns out it’s not a nightclub…
Bai Yanliang followed her instructions and turned left, 30 meters to the riverside...
He saw it.
She was wearing a black dress and had just put down her cell phone.
The river breeze blew up a strand of hair, and the corner of her skirt fluttered gently, creating a peaceful scene.
As if she noticed Bai Yanliang's gaze, she raised her head slightly, and her cold eyes just met his eyes.
The air seemed to freeze.
Because neither Xu Zhifei nor Bai Yanliang could see any emotion in each other's eyes.
"Hello."
Bai Yanliang came up to her and spoke.
"Ah."
