When they heard the sound of the BMW S1000RRâs engine, everyone turned to look at Helian Weiwei.
The mysterious man put down his hand that was still calculating something, and he made a face. âAnother one is here.â
It turned out that everyone here had received that black invitation.
âSomeone has called all of us here but doesnât even come out at all.â The man was obviously already somewhat unhappy and he kept his eyes on the wooden door. âThis house is also strange.â
The rest of the people didnât speak. It was clear that these people had met before in the fengshui circles and didnât want to give in to each other at all.
Except for Helian Weiwei...
The man looked in her direction again. âMiss, which school did you learn from? Why havenât I seen you before?â
âIâm self-taught.â Helian Weiwei smiled lightly and gave him this simple reply before taking a step forward. She basically understood the situation in front of her. Someone had led them to this courtyard house and let them all meet first, so that they would know that the customer had not decided exactly who would get this business deal.
When the man heard Helian Weiweiâs words, he did not hide his laughter. âThen you have to be careful. Donât cry when you meet a ghost.â
âI wonât cry.â Helian Weiwei turned her head and smiled. âIâm afraid that you will be the one who cries.â
âYou! â The man didnât expect Helian Weiwei to be so sharp-tongued. He was originally looking for an easy target to bully. He knew the other people were all more famous than him. It was rare to finally find someone less famous, but this girl wasnât grateful for his attention at all!
How could Helian Weiwei not see through his thoughts? She casually curved her thin lips upwards.
That kind of attitude made him very angry!
The man looked at her as he grit his teeth and sneered, âNowadays, the younger generation is becoming more and more disrespectful to their teachers. They donât have much ability, but they are quite boastful.â
âMaster Zhang.â The other girl opened her mouth to interrupt the manâs words and her eyes were like amber, âWhat we need to do now is to find out who called us here, not fight among ourselves.â
Master Zhangâs attitude changed and he laughed. âMiss Li Ya is still the one who understands reason. However, this door canât be pushed open. How are we going to get in?â
The girl hugged the crystal ball in her hand. Her willow-like eyebrows slightly furrowed as she fell into deep thought.
Helian Weiwei never bothered to do anything that wasted time like this. She glanced at Baili Jiajue and strode towards the dark sandalwood door.
âSomeone is not only impolite, she also doesnât understand what others are saying,â Master Zhang sneered.
Helian Weiwei didnât have the time to pay attention to him. She couldnât be bothered to be distracted when she was at work. Once she was done here, she was going to show this Master Zhang how âpoliteâ she was.
She used her strength, but the wooden door didnât have the slightest intention of moving.
Master Zhang looked at Helian Weiwei from behind and gave another disdainful smile.
The wooden door refused to open, but a recording started playing.
âEveryone, welcome to pawnshop number eight. If you want to pawn something, please come inside.â
That monk also frowned. âWhat the hell, itâs this again?â
In other words, before she came, everyone heard this recording when they pushed the door open.
Helian Weiwei raised her eyebrows and once again looked at the wooden door in front of her.
Since it couldnât be pushed open, then it was controlled by other things.
A mechanism?
Helian Weiwei stretched out her hand and touched the wooden door.
Master Zhang felt that it was too hot and found a shady place to stand. From time to time, he would talk to that witch called Li Ya.
After seeing Helian Weiweiâs action, he made a face again. âSomeone with an abnormal brain came. Itâs really worrying.â
Helian Weiwei didnât hear this sentence.
But Baili Jiajue heard it. He turned his head and slowly raised his black gloved hand. He then used his hand to make a shooting action at Master Zhang like his hand was a gun.
âHur.â
This low laughter was one that a demon would let out only when he met the most detestable human.
However, Master Zhang did not know that. He only opened his mouth and let out an angry scoff. âWhere did these two people come from? They are so arrogant.â
âAmitabha.â The monk raised one hand. âDonât lower yourself to the level of the younger generation. I reckon that they donât have much ability. Theyâre just here to share the spoils.â
Master Zhang sneered. âLater, when they encounter something, I want to see how they will continue to act cool. They are standing at the door and touching it all over. Is there something wrong with their brains?â
âForget it, is there any contact information written on your letter?â The monk lowered his eyes. âItâs still important to first find out who called you and me here.â
Master Zhang and the monk usually didnât see eye to eye, but that was when they were competing against each other. However, it was different now. There were other people here today as well, and they didnât want to give such a lucrative business to the other few.
âOther than a sentence on the letter, this is the address. Thereâs nothing else. The problem is that this door doesnât open and I canât tell if thereâs anyone inside or not!â
Just as Master Zhang was complaining, Helian Weiweiâs gaze locked onto the string of red lanterns hanging on the wooden door. Those lanterns looked like ornaments, but there was no wick. Instead, there was a string hanging on one side.
Helian Weiweiâs eyes narrowed and pulled the string down.
Kacha!
Master Zhang and the monks heard the sound and paused. They looked at the slowly opening wooden door in front of them and didnât know what just happened.
Helian Weiweiâs hand pulled on the string, and with another pull, the wooden door completely opened!
The next thing everyone saw was a very typically Chinese pawnshop within a courtyard house with a lot of roses in bloom. Everything looked rather old fashioned and the pathways were all covered in green tiles. It had probably remained uninhabited for a long time, so there was barely any sunlight inside and it looked rather gloomy.
It was very obvious that the wooden door could be opened because Helian Weiwei had found the right way of opening it.
The youth was the first to walk towards Helian Weiwei. He didnât say much and just said âYouâre smart.â
However, Master Zhang didnât think so. She just happened to spot a string, didnât she? If they had spotted it, they would have opened the door too.
The few of them strolled into the courtyard house. The group of bodyguards that the monk brought didnât come in as well because immediately after the monk walked in, the wooden door behind them slammed shut again!
Master Zhang and the monk immediately turned around and used both of their hands to push hard, but the wooden door didnât budge.
âThis is really strange!â He cursed heavily in a low voice, then turned around to look at this very Chinese courtyard and frowned.
Unlike him, Helian Weiwei knew well that normally, this kind of mechanism would have a time limit. Once time was up, the wooden door would close again. Unless they pulled that rope from outside again, they simply couldnât get out anymore!
