11. The Ghost

Translation: muzgodass

A fat man with a weight of more than two hundred pounds walked in, followed by four strong men who looked like roughnecks.

When Wang De came in, he saw Han Tingxuan and Yun Shen beside him.

Wang De was stunned. Yun Shen? Why is he here? If Yun Shen is interested in this place, then there is no hope for him to get this shop!

The county magistrate, also his brother-in-law, had specifically told him that Yun Shen was a mysterious man. He could only make friends and not offend him! Although Wang De bullied the citizens all the time, he was clear that he could not offend some "big names". That was also why he could get away from the law, not just because of his brother-in-law.

The moment he laid his eyes on Yun Shen, Wang De's heart started to beat.

"Master Yun, it's good to see you here..." Wang De flattered.

Yun Shen smiled faintly. "Yes, I'm here to visit my friends today. Shopkeeper Wang, what are you doing here?"

There was a small workshop in the Wang family, which was related to flour. So many people outside called him Shopkeeper Wang.

Wang De wiped off the sweat on his forehead. It was not he was afraid, but because he was too fat and sweated a lot.

"Haha. Nothing. Nothing." Wang De hurriedly waved his hand. "I heard that this shop has a new owner. So I'm just here to have a look."

"I see," Yun Shen nodded, indicating that he understood.

Wang De was not a stupid person. Since Yun Shen was here, he would not get anything today! So, he immediately smiled and said, "I happen to have something else to do. If you will excuse me, I'll leave now. Master Yun, see you."

Yun Shen narrowed his eyes and nodded faintly.

Thus, Wang De quickly went away with his two hundred pounds body...

After Wang De and his fellowmen left, Yun Shen looked at Han Tingxuan worriedly. "Brother Han, I am afraid that Wang De is probably up to something bad."

Han Tingxuan smiled. "I agree with you."

Yun Shen narrowed his eyes as he looked at Han Tingxuan. "Brother Han, it seems like you are not worried at all..."

"I'm not worried. Brother Yun, don't worry. I have a way to deal with that Wang De."

"Oh?" Yun Shen was a little curious. "Brother Han, is there someone else to help you in the government?"

"No," Han Tingxuan smiled and shook his head. "I've just arrived here. This is my first time to do business. I know anyone here."

Yun Shen frowned slightly. "Brother Han, do you know who that person is?"

"Yes, I know," Han Tingxuan did not seem to care about it.

Yun Shen was really curious now. Since there was no one in the government to help Han Tingxuan and Wang De was the brother-in-law of the county magistrate, what made Han Tingxuan so confident and not afraid at all?

"Brother Han, I'm really curious... I am waiting for your good news."

"Haha," Han Tingxuan laughed. In the blink of an eye, Mo Yanzhi came out with the tea in his hand. He gestured Mo Yanzhi, "Yanzhi, come and sit."

Mo Yanzhi served the guests tea and did not say anything. He sat quietly beside Han Tingxuan.

Mo Yanzhi was a she-man, so he naturally understood the manners when he was not home. When his husband was talking to someone, male wife was not allowed to interfere. The husband who loved male wife would allow male wife to sit aside. This was already a sign of love for male wife. Otherwise, male wife would not be allowed to sit there to listen tothe conversation!

Yun Shen was a little surprised when he heard Han Tingxuan telling Mo Yanzhi to come over and sit down. From the results of the investigation, the relationship between the two of them was very bad. But it seemed not the case in reality.

Yun Shen had a quick glance at Mo Yanzhi's face. He found Mo Yanzhi really familiar, but he could not remember why.

Even though he had puzzles, Yun Shen did not show it on the outside.

He drank a cup of tea and said his goodbyes when Mo Yanzhi was about to refill his tea. Han Tingxuan asked him to stay, but Yun Shen refused because he had to go back to take care of his restaurant. So Han Tingxuan didn't insist and said goodbye to Yun Shen.

"The fat guy who came to mess up... is it Wang De?" Mo Yanzhi asked worriedly. He was aware of the arrival of this group of people thanks to his kungfu. The reason why he didn't come out was because he was waiting for Han Tingxuan's decision.

He didn't expect that Wang De was deterred by Yun Shen.

But it was easy to tell that Wang De would come back! Because that was what he would likely do.

His martial arts were not bad. He could handle those roughnecks or even much more. But it was not something that could be solved by violence alone.

After all, Wang De was a relative of an official. It was unlikely that a citizen would overpower an official.

"Yes, it's Wang De," Han Tingxuan smiled and nodded. As Mo Yanzhi looked worried, he held Mo Yanzhi's hand. Mo Yanzhi was startled and tried to get his hand off, but Han Tingxuan was holding onto him tightly!

"Are you worried about me?" Han Tingxuan asked with a smile, not letting go of his hand.

Since he had decided to spend his life with this man, it was necessary for them to get intimate.

Mo Yanzhi was silent for a moment, looking down, and said softly, "Of course I'm worried."

Han Tingxuan grinned. "Don't worry. I have a way to deal with that Wang De, but... I need your help."

Mo Yanzhi raised his head and blinked, "What do you want me to do?"

At night, Wang De also found out that Mo Yanzhi knew martial arts. However, it didn't matter! What's the big deal about a person being good at martial arts?! He was good to deal with one or two men at the same. But can he deal with five or six?

Since he couldn't do anything to get the shop during the day, he could at least do something at night!

He would smash the shop once every night. He did not believe that the bastard called Han Tingxuan could still run the business smoothly!

Hmph! Whoever or whatever he, Wang De, had eyes on, would finally be owned by him.

Now, since the male wife of the shop was dead, but he had to get the shop at least. More importantly, without spending a cent.

Wang De of high aspirations headed to Han Tingxuan's shop, escorted by eight fellowmen along with eight strong men.

"Guys, smashed the door!"

His fellowmen immediately smashed the shop door!

"Smash everything hard! Don't be afraid of making any noise!"

On Wang De's command, his fellowmen smashed the door and he entered the shop first. He was going to smash things with his own hands, otherwise it was hard to take his anger out.

"Ah!" Wang De let out a scream as soon as he walked in and sat on the ground.

"Wang, what's wrong with you? Ah... " the others rushed in.

There were a few more screams and several people fell to the ground.

"You killed me... You go to hell... I died so miserable... so miserable..."

A dense white mist spread in the store, and a ghost, hung around his neck by a white cloth, his tongue stretched out, looking like the male wife of Liu Family slid over.

Let alone Wang De, who was not brave at all, even the few strong men behind were frightened!

"I died so miserable... Wang De... Wang De..." The male wife of the Liu family who had become a ghost suddenly slid towards Wang De. The white cloth wrapped around Wang De's neck and dragged him forward.

"Ah! Help! Help!" Wang De screamed miserably.

The few people who didn't fall behind were afraid, but they still put their guts to take over the white cloth.

The white cloth was not entangled too tightly, but it wasn't easy for them to untangle it as they all were in panic. It took them a lot of effort to set Wang De free.

Suddenly, Han Tingxuan's voice came from outside. "In the middle of the night, how come I heard something? Is there a thief?"

Han Tingxuan said to himself. Once he finished talking, the Liu family's male wife suddenly disappeared.

Han Tingxuan's voice was heard again. "Mmm, I'm not one of us who knows martial arts. I'd better bring my male wife. He knows martial arts, so he's not afraid of any thieves," Han Tingxuan's footsteps sounded as he walked away.

"Wang," a burly man reached out to pull Wang De's sleeve. "Let's go quickly!"

Wang De wiped his face. The feeling running from death was really unpleasant! He got up trembling and almost lost his voice. "Let's go! Hurry up and leave!"

Wang De ran away with his fellowmen.

Once everyone was gone, Han Tingxuan stepped in with a fan in his hand.

The dense fog in this room was his work.

After Han Tingxuan appeared, the 'ghost' of the Liu family's male wife once again slid into the house.

Han Tingxuan turned and smiled. "You did a great job, Yanzhi."

"Liu's male wife" got rid of the white cloth and pulled out the long tongue Han Tingxuan made. He smiled. "Wang De is frightened."

"Haha," Han Tingxuan smiled. "He asked for it."

Mo Yanzhi asked, "Will he come again?"

Han Tingxuan smiled. "He definitely won't come back at night. During the day... He might come back again after a few days. It doesn't matter. I'll be fine once you work hard for two more nights."

"What else do you want me to do?"

Han Tingxuan smiled. "Your martial arts are very good. Is it a problem for you to show up on the roof of Wang De's room in the middle of the night?"

Mo Yanzhi kind of understood what Han Tingxuan was going to do and said directly, "Not a problem."

"Great! I dare that fat guy to have a second thought of this shop again! Let's go, go back to sleep."

"But this door..."

"It's fine. We will repair it tomorrow morning!"
