Chapter 195 Good Restaurant
After sending off Captain Wang, I chose to be discharged from the hospital.
As long as I could speak, the injuries on my forehead and hands were actually not serious.
The first thing I did after leaving the hospital was to find Guo Yongjia. When I called Shan Shan, she told me that she and her husband were at Good Restaurant.
Good Restaurant is owned by Yan Yikai, who is also Ruo Lan and Shan Shan's Father. However, since Yan Yikai married off Shan Shan to Guo Yongjia, he handed over the management of the restaurant to Ruo Lan and went to work as a mid-level manager at Guo Yongjia's company, rarely concerning himself with Ruo Lan and Good Restaurant.
Initially, Yan Yikai wanted Ruo Lan to join him, but she refused.
When Murong Duoduo and I arrived at Good Restaurant, we immediately saw Gu Zixu upon entering.
Gu Zixu instantly smiled broadly, hurriedly standing up and saying, “My love, did you miss me?”
Murong Duoduo's face twitched, and she rushed up to Gu Zixu, saying, “Shameless! How many times have I told you? We have nothing between us—never had, never will!”
“Oh my love, your indifference is the greatest test for me. Don’t worry, I will never give up! Please feel free to whip me, torment me, insult me!” After saying this, Gu Zixu surprisingly knelt on one knee and took out a ring from his pocket, saying to Murong Duoduo, “Marry me! Then I will be your slave for life.”
Murong Duoduo swatted the ring away and immediately started punching and kicking Gu Zixu. Surprisingly, instead of crying out in pain, Gu Zixu kept saying, “My love, harder! Wow, this feels great! Let the punishment of love come even stronger!”
Clearly, this was a performance akin to Zhou Yu's scheme against Huang Gai. My gaze slowly shifted to a person walking into the dining area—it was none other than Guo Yongjia.
“Master Cao is here!” Guo Yongjia said to me with a smile. “Have a seat!”
With a surge of anger, I slowly sat down while Guo Yongjia glanced at Murong Duoduo and Gu Zixu, then took a seat across from me.
The noise in the restaurant was loud, with Gu Zixu's joyful shouts and Murong Duoduo's curses ringing out continuously. However, I tuned them out and asked Guo Yongjia, "Have you seen Chen Xiong?"
"Yes," Guo Yongjia replied with a smile.
I was surprised that he didn't hide it, so I quickly asked, "Did you make him a paper body?"
"Master Cao, can we talk about something else?" Guo Yongjia said with a laugh. He then took out two jade pendants from his pocket and said, "Shan Shan has asked me more than once to lend you these pendants. You are her only male friend since childhood! You're like her big brother."
At that moment, Yan Shan Shan and Yan Ruolan also walked out of the kitchen. Upon seeing Murong Duoduo beating Gu Zixu, they hurried over to intervene. Murong Duoduo seemed to have gotten tired of hitting him and angrily sat down next to me.
After Gu Zixu got up, he sat down across from Murong Duoduo with a charming smile. Yan Ruolan took a seat on my other side, while Yan Shan Shan sat next to Guo Yongjia.
"Shan Shan!" Guo Yongjia turned to Yan Shan Shan and said with a smile, "Although these two jade pendants are important, in my heart, you are the most important. Haven't you advised me more than once to apologize to Master Cao?"
Yan Shan Shan nodded.
Guo Yongjia smiled without saying anything further, then turned to me and slowly pushed the jade pendants toward me, saying awkwardly, "Master Cao, I have offended you in the past. I hope you can overlook my minor faults. I actually respect you quite a bit. Since you are interested in these two jade pendants, I can only part with them. Although they were entrusted to me by Master, it’s for the sake of the person I love."
At this point, Guo Yongjia glanced at Yan Shan Shan before continuing to speak to me: "To ensure that the person I love can be at ease, I've decided to give them to you."
What?
At that moment, not just me, but even Murong Duoduo and Yan Shan Shan were stunned.
I had thought that there would definitely be a fierce battle between Guo Yongjia and me. I had set this battle at the International Trade Building. I had Captain Wang call Guo Yongjia because I indeed needed help after failing to capture Chen Xiong; I also wanted to test Guo Yongjia; and lastly, I wanted to retrieve the jade pendants.
As everyone knows, Ghost Seal is a treasure. It can go underground or suppress demons above ground. It could be said to be my strongest trump card. However, after losing it carelessly, I had always wanted to get it back. My expectation was that after capturing Chen Xiong, I would have a fair competition with Guo Yongjia and bet my life against his jade pendants.
But I never expected it!
I never expected that Guo Yongjia would hand over the Ghost Seal to me.
For a moment, I thought I was dreaming.
A person who, out of jealousy, caused his best friend's family to be ruined; a petty man who led his good friend's wife and children to part ways forever, and even pretended to be a good person, causing Guo Yang and Liu Yiyi from the Guo family to die with their eyes closed—how could such a despicable person possibly give up the Ghost Seal?
I sensed there was a conspiracy behind this; there must be a conspiracy.
"What's wrong? Does Master Cao find it unsatisfactory?" Guo Yongjia said with a smile.
Meanwhile, Yan Shan Shan looked at Guo Yongjia with a face full of admiration. I finally understood that Guo Yongjia's ability to win Yan Shan Shan's heart was inseparable from his methods! I didn't know if he truly loved Yan Shan Shan, but just this level of effort was not something an ordinary person could compare to.
Murong Duoduo elbowed me, and I finally snapped out of my surprise. Then I weakly asked, "Mr. Guo, may I ask you a question?"
"Of course," Guo Yongjia replied with a smile.
In fact, there were many questions I wanted to ask Guo Yongjia, such as how he killed Guo Yang, how he caused Liu Yiyi's tragic death after stripping the Guo family, whether he slept soundly at night, and why he wanted to help Chen Xiong, among others.
There were simply too many questions, but since there were outsiders present, it was impossible to ask them, and Guo Yongjia also knew I wouldn't ask.
"I would like to ask Mr. Guo, when did you first get to know me? And when did you start dating Shan Shan?" I asked coldly.
Guo Yongjia smiled and said, "I got to know you a few months ago after my master died. As for when Shan Shan and I started dating..."
He looked at Yan Shan Shan, who smiled and said, "Honey, don't you remember? We've been married for over six years!"
Six years!
I started going out for experience when I was in my teens, and when I returned to the Paper Shop at twenty, Yan Shan Shan was still my goddess. However, my Master made me go around accumulating good deeds, and I had no choice but to leave.
Liu Lao Er died a few months ago.
If Guo Yongjia wasn't lying to me, then it seems that he genuinely pursued my goddess Yan Shan Shan, rather than deliberately trying to take away my beloved. But after Liu Lao Er told Guo Yongjia everything, he must have guessed that Yan Shan Shan was the one I admired, which is why he would show off his affection to provoke me.
I don't know why, but suddenly I felt calm. I took the jade pendant he handed me and said, "Thank you!"
Since he came over with it, why not accept it?
A conspiracy?
Who cares about any conspiracy!
The Ghost Seal is something passed down through generations of Paper Effigy Makers, and I must get it back.
After receiving the jade pendant, I carefully stroked the two halves of the pendant. One felt hot to the touch, while the other gave off a sense of holiness and tranquility.
It is certain that these two Plate Jade Pendants are indeed part of the Ghost Seal.
However, for safety's sake, I decided to try it out immediately.
Burning Soul is transformed from Ghost Fire and Yin Qi; it naturally fears cold but not heat! It also absorbs Yang Qi. Although it still fears direct sunlight, its resistance is much stronger compared to ghosts.
I pulled down the rolling shutter of the Restaurant directly. Among the amounts from others, I slowly lifted one of the jade pendants and then tapped on it several times with one hand.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the Plate Jade Pendant, and in an instant, there was an additional 'person' in the dining hall of Good Restaurant.
"Ah!" Several girls let out a simultaneous scream.
The suddenly appeared 'person' scanned the entire room, focusing their gaze on Murong Duoduo and Ruo Lan Shan Shan, examining them as if they were a proud peacock assessing three little hens.
"In front of a fairy, any earthly beauty is just green grass!" The corners of Chickenshit's mouth lifted slightly, then she turned to me and said, "Handsome, sister cares for you! How about we go to a private room to talk about sex? Discuss life?"
Chickenshit was indeed beautiful, especially when she had not transformed into her true form Burning Soul. She could be described as stunningly beautiful. What was particularly special was that the flames contained within Chickenshit allowed her to become visible, just like Ghost Fire, which even normal people could see.
She wore a pure white long dress that swept the ground. As she walked gracefully to my side, she smiled seductively at me and said, "Sister is really itchy! Can you help me scratch it, Smida?"
It can be confirmed that Chickenshit had been trapped in the jade pendant for days, constantly nourished by Chicken Blood, but she did not know that the one feeding her was not me. In other words, although she was completely sealed within the jade pendant, Guo Yongjia had never let her out.
This also meant that Rooster similarly did not know that I had lost them these past few days, which implied that once I released Bianhan, it would definitely kill me at the first opportunity.
I turned to look at Guo Yongjia, who had a slight smile on her face.
"Smida, you don't like men, do you?" Chickenshit teased from the side. "Then who will take responsibility for sister's loneliness and emptiness?"
"Who is she!" At this moment, three girls asked simultaneously.
Indeed! They were girls! Because in front of Elder Sister Chickenshit, even the young woman Yan Shan Shan could only sigh in envy.
