Chapter 49: Have you ever seen the extraordinary?

Talking to people is like fishing.

As long as you use the right bait, you can get the desired effect.

Looking at the big boy who stood up from behind the reef in a flash and glared at the developers, Luo Shiyin, who was standing below the stone wall, couldn’t help but sigh at the correctness of this sentence.

“Oh? Are you finally willing to come out? I thought you would wait until I let my men search you before you were willing to stand up.”

Completely ignoring the anger in the other person’s eyes, the developer flicked the ash from his cigarette with a smile: “When I was at the Public Security Bureau, you had already started to send people to investigate me, right? You even found out about me before I became a regular employee. You’re really amazing.”

Hearing these words, Chengxuan’s heart sank.

Especially when he found that the bodyguards around the other party began to spread out and move, gradually blocking his escape route, he couldn’t help but sweat a little at his temples: “Mr. Hu, if I were you, I would never do anything to make my crime worse.”

“Oh? Then may I ask this little sheriff, what crime have I committed?”

Looking up with interest, the developer known as Mr.

Hu waved his hand, stopping the bodyguards from approaching after they blocked the escape route.

Seeing this, Ji Chengxuan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: “Hu Pengge originally ran a loan company. After transforming into a tourist attraction developer, he developed tourist attractions in three cities, but all of them failed due to poor subsequent revenue, so he moved the entire company to other cities.”

“Yeah, business is really hard these days. If I hadn’t accumulated some assets before, I would have lost it all.”

Holding a cigarette between his fingers, Hu Pengge spoke with a nostalgic tone.

If it weren’t for the group of ferocious bodyguards around him, one would even suspect that he was talking to an old friend: “But everything is difficult at the beginning. Look, I’ve managed this golden coastline quite well, and it’s not illegal to move the company, right?”

“That’s right, but after today, you’re going to declare the development a failure and relocate the company, right?”

Staring intently into the eyes of the man opposite him, Yu Chengxuan spoke in a firm tone.

Hearing this, Hu Pengge narrowed his eyes dangerously, then raised his chin to signal him to continue.

He kept observing the surroundings with his peripheral vision, looking for a place to break through, and continued: “After learning from the director that you kept moving your company, I asked Qingxi to investigate the scenic spots you had developed. Then I found that every time you completed the development of a scenic spot, someone would die mysteriously.”

“However, according to the investigation results of the local police station, those deaths have nothing to do with your company. But I found a worrying point – those who died were male couples.”

“Coincidentally, three months ago, the male member of a couple also died here, and his death was very strange. After that, a rumor began to spread here that ‘couples who come to the coastline will encounter bad luck.'”

Looking at the big boy who was talking incessantly in front of him, Hu Pengge’s eyes showed obvious coldness.

However, Ji Chengxuan acted as if he didn’t see it, and even showed a confident smile on his face: “Mr. Hu, why would you, as a developer who relies on customer traffic, hold a couple-themed event when rumors are spreading like this? And why would you, knowing that there would be a large number of students present? Could it be that… you want to find another couple with suitable conditions and prey on the male?”

“Although I didn’t find conclusive evidence, when I left, I specifically asked Qingxi to pay attention to all the couples who were invited to the stage.”

“So, if you really intend to do something through this event, then unfortunately, the guy who was going to contact a couple and take action should have been controlled by the security guards.”

“I was just too worried. If you really sent someone to deal with Qingxi, you would probably be caught earlier.”

The dark coast fell silent again.

After a long time, a burst of applause suddenly broke out.

“That’s a bold and brilliant guess. Although the guy I arranged doesn’t know the specific situation, I think those security guards are so sharp that they can find some suspicious points.”

Hu Pengge gently patted the palm of his left hand with his right hand, and his tone was full of sighs: “You are truly worthy of being hailed as the future great detective in the security field. It is truly remarkable that you were able to find these things in just two days.”

Judging from the meaning of the other party’s words, he obviously denied his speculation, but Yu Chengxuan’s heart sank again – that guy didn’t look afraid at all.

As if to prove his idea, Hu Pengge suddenly changed the subject: “Since you are so smart, why don’t you guess why I didn’t point it out after I found out you were following me, but instead led you to this place? Have you… forgotten that you are also the male member of the ‘couple’?”

A cold current went straight through the top of his head from his coccyx.

Chengxuan’s pupils contracted violently and he couldn’t help but take half a step back.

However, before Hu Pengge’s “speech” was over, the man who made his fortune by loan sharking showed an abnormal fanaticism in his eyes: “Little agent, let me ask you, have you ever seen the extraordinary?”

“Hmm—” A distant sound, like the sound of a bell, came from the dark ocean.

The peaceful scene seemed to be boiling and rolling violently, as if something terrifying was about to appear.

Below the stone wall, Luo Shiyin’s eyes lit up after listening to the reasoning for a long time, and her gaze immediately turned towards the surging sea.

At the same time, Hu Pengge slowly raised his hands and made a gesture to embrace the world: “You just said something wrong. After this time, I will not relocate any company, because… this is the last sacrifice! Come! See the dark side of the world!”

“Bang!”

Three-meter-high waves splashed from the sea surface, and a huge creature slowly emerged from underwater, revealing a grotesque figure that seemed to exist only in children’s dreams: It was a spherical trunk woven from countless withered roses.

Yellowed and wrinkled love letters were flying around it, forming two irregularly rotating circles.

Behind the body were six wings made up of tens of thousands of movie tickets.

The laughter of men and women could be heard as the wings flapped.

In the very center of the rose’s trunk are two broken wedding rings.

The diamonds, which should have been sparkling, seem to be covered with dust, giving off an uncomfortable feeling of oldness and desolation.

As the remaining sea water on his body fell off, a huge, snow-white pupil like a display screen suddenly opened behind the two broken diamond rings.

There were blood-red fonts flashing by continuously, and if you looked carefully, you would find that they were the vows made by men and women when they expressed their love to each other.

The blood-red fonts were so densely packed that they even obscured the original whiteness of the pupils.

Even the two diamond rings were stained with a hint of bright red.

“What the hell is this?”

Looking at the strange creature floating in the air, Ji Chengxuan’s pupils shrank and he murmured subconsciously.

Seeing this, Hu Pengge’s mouth cracked, revealing a ferocious smile: “Time to hit the road, little vigilante!”
