The Emperor of Hell's Green Plum Pillow She Escaped Again

Chapter 218

Hei Huomian had just finished browsing the news on the streaming media when he heard Li You remind him:

"Boss, our share price started to fall as soon as the U.S. stock market opened!"

Hei Huomian looked at the projection screen on the wall and saw that Ming Xin's stock price was continuing to fall in the K-line chart of the U.S. stock market trend.

According to local financial news analysis:

It was because the Mingxin Industrial Park in the U country was attacked, but rumors spread that it was covered up by a supernatural incident, causing investors to lack confidence in Mingxin's integrity and credibility.

Li You quickly switched to the local news channel. "According to the eyewitness video that was released on the most popular social media in the U, it is suspected that a supernatural event caused the collapse accident that left five people dead and one injured."

"Such a lame trick, even I can see it was designed by humans. And they say they are locals, no, they are seeking revenge for the injustice done to them. How can they, with their fluent Longguo pronunciation, authentic Longguo slang, and looks, resemble the U country's high nose, deep eyes, and skin color?!"

"Qi Chu is unable to shake our foundation in our own country, so he is colluding with foreign countries to spread rumors and build momentum in an attempt to make a comeback!" Li You kept silent, paying attention to his boss, and asked:

"I will go and notify and summon the Ten Kings of Hell to open..."

Hei Huomian suddenly raised his hand to signal for silence.

The next moment, there was a knock on the door. After answering the door, Bai Shuiru appeared at the door of the study with a plate of colorful, transparent, chewy sheep-shaped pastries. Without saying a word, she handed over the pastries with a smile and then closed the door again.

Bai Shuiru was sitting in the semi-open reception room in the aisle, holding some pastries and waiting, when she saw Uncle Nan leading a cold and cool woman in black clothes and short hair towards the study. After introducing the two of them, she bowed and left.

Bai Shuiru smiled and held up the cake and handed it to the guest, "Would you like to try some cake?"

"Thank you." Hei Wuchang Jiaocheng noticed the exquisitely presented and obviously untouched pastries, looked in the direction of the study, nodded and declined, "The host hasn't enjoyed it yet, I'll have it later."

Jiao Cheng bowed 90 degrees respectfully to Bai Shuiru, "At the beginning, Bai Wuchang and I almost detained your soul by mistake. Please forgive us."

"Who hasn't experienced making a fool of themselves at work?" Bai Shuiru raised a hand to cover his lips, lowered his voice and continued mysteriously:

"I'm telling you in secret, don't tell anyone else," she pointed to the reddish-brown bat-shaped pastry in the middle of the plate, "Hey, this one, I 'accidentally' added a little bit of pepper and mustard, can't you see it?" She gestured in the direction of the study, "I'm going to trick Hei Huo Mian into eating it."

Jiao Cheng had never met such a dignified and generous yet contradictory lovely and playful woman before, and she was used to being indifferent in front of others except Qi Chu and Bai Wuchang Shui Mo. She couldn't help but smile and shook her head, then nodded and agreed:

"Okay, I'll keep it a secret for you."

Bai Shuiru enthusiastically handed over the cakes again, "Come to think of it, isn't arresting souls everywhere the same as traveling at public expense?"

"If the time until the next soul arrest is not too tight and there are not too many people around, we can take a break."

As soon as Jiao Cheng finished speaking, a cold, noble voice came from behind the two of them, like a high-tech weapon that accurately protected Bai Shuiru:

"Hei Wuchang is here?"

"Ah, yes!" Jiao Cheng stood up reflexively and was about to squat to salute, then stood at attention and saluted at the prompt of Heihuomian's gaze.

Hei Huomian slightly moved aside to make way for the already spacious aisle, motioning his subordinates to enter the study first, then walked up to Bai Shuiru and coaxed her softly:

"Shui Ru, why don't you ask my parents and Wan Wan to taste the cakes first, and I can try them later, okay?"

Bai Shuiru stood on tiptoe and elegantly rotated the plate half a circle in front of Hei Huomian, "If you're late, there won't be any share for you~!" Then she ran away briskly.

Twenty minutes later, Jiao Cheng finished his work report and left. Bai Shuiru finally succeeded in "luring" Hei Huomian with the pastries she made herself.

She picked up the bat-shaped reddish-brown date paste cake mixed with pepper and mustard powder and touched Hei Huo Mian's lips before moving away. Under his coquettish gaze, she was about to feed him a mouthful, and then Li You knocked on the door again:

"boss."

Hei Huomian sighed softly, and embraced the soft and fragrant body sitting astride his legs, his tone helpless and contradictory, "Shui Ru, there is something very important that I have always wanted to tell you in person, but..."

"I know you're busy. Every time you want to talk, you get interrupted." The girl pretended to be unhappy and stuffed the cake into the man's mouth. "As long as it's not about rejecting my design draft, it's not a big deal~!"

The man smiled softly and pleaded:

"No matter who tells you, please don't believe a word about what happened between us, okay? Please wait for me to explain it to you in person, okay?"

Recently, bigwigs in the political and business circles in China and abroad and their relatives and friends have been frequently harassed by evil spirits, especially in their sleep, and have been suffering terribly.

The big guys tried every possible way from local religious beliefs to drive away the ghost, but without exception they all had little effect; in the end, because it was confirmed that the ghost came from the underworld of Biluo Country, the big guys contacted Heihuo Mian one after another to arrange for his exorcism; human nature is complicated; those people are used to being in a high position, and for a while they had to make an appointment and queue up to see Heihuo Mian. Naturally, some of them were polite, while others were arrogant and thought they were threatening with economic sanctions.

Hei Huomian is in charge of both the human world and the underworld, so his workload has increased rapidly. He even has to send clones abroad to attend meetings and negotiations. In order to avoid attracting the attention of the human world's immigration bureau, he must strictly follow the normal way of entering and leaving the country, which consumes a lot of mental energy.

Bai Shuiru also considerately told him not to force himself and to pick her up from get off work, and to just stay in the lounge at the office to rest more when he had time.

That day, Bai Shuiru finished writing the manuscript and found that it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

Because Hei Huomian called her at almost eight o'clock, saying that he would spend the night in the office lounge and would take an early flight tomorrow morning to go on a business trip abroad; she hurriedly left a message for Hei Huomian saying that she would go home after get off work, turn off the computer and take the elevator downstairs, and she pressed the stop and close button of the elevator door in time, allowing a cleaning lady to push a cart into the elevator car.

Seeing Bai Shuiru's kind face and good heart, the elder sister couldn't help but lament with her:

"How pitiful! A whole litter of cats is gone just like that." Seeing that Bai Shuiru not only did not dislike her for having no sense of boundaries and being noisy, but also looked at her to show that she was listening, the elder sister continued:

"Since the establishment of the group, Mr. Hei has always asked us to protect the stray cats in the parking lot. He specifically asked us to send all stray cats and dogs to the adoption center sponsored by the company. At the same time, he encouraged the group's employees to adopt them. As long as they bring their adopted pets to the administrative department every month, they can sign up for cat and dog food." Seeing Bai Shuiru's face full of satisfaction and pride, the cleaning lady smiled proudly and agreed:

"Do you think Mr. Black loves animals and is he a good person?"

"Of course. I have also received a lot of help from Mr. Hei." Bai Shuiru nodded in agreement, "He is a very good person."

"Miss Bai, you really know how to coax us old ladies." The cleaning lady suddenly laughed shyly, covering her lips, "Oh, I'm so embarrassed. Look at me, I actually praised your boyfriend in front of you."

"Come to think of it, we've noticed new stray cats appearing in the parking lot these past few days, but we haven't caught any until just now when we discovered that an incoming vehicle had run over a litter of kittens and their mother. It's so tragic."

"What's most infuriating is that the guy actually threw two hundred yuan to Ajie, who was in charge of cleaning the parking lot, saying something like, 'I'm paying you to clean, why are you still nagging?' Humph! No sympathy at all! What a waste of rice!"

"Mr. Hei is such a rich man, a blessed one, he doesn't put on airs at all, and he does charity out of his heart, unlike other rich people. What's more, he has a shell company from nowhere..." The elder sister muttered as she pushed the cleaning cart out of the elevator.

Bai Shuiru was torn between the pride of her boyfriend being praised and the sadness of the innocent stray cat's tragic death. She came to the underground parking lot and walked to the place where her car was parked according to her memory.

Hei Huo Mian has been very busy with official duties recently, and the paid rest system that Bai Shuiru had worked hard to obtain for the twelve secret guards and Li You has been suspended for a while; it was rare that Hei Huo Mian went to rest early tonight, so Bai Shuiru let them take turns to rest tonight again; she even kept it a secret from Hei Huo Mian and sent the remaining two secret guards on duty back to rest, so she would drive back to the manor by herself tonight.

Bai Shuiru saw from afar the dark black Maybach that Hei Huomian gave her as a gift to congratulate her for winning the design competition and officially entering Mingxin as a prospective designer.

Just as Bai Shuiru was about to unlock the car, he vaguely heard someone chattering:

"Meow~Sister, you are the legendary Black Impermanence? So handsome and cool! I like you~! Meow~."

"Meow~ So is Bai Wuchang the older sister or the older brother? Meow~."

"Meow~ Is that handsome guy over there carrying cakes and drinks and waving a cheerleading pom-pom the White Impermanence? Meow~."

Did I encounter the Black Impermanence Soul Capture? I haven't heard of this area today...

Could it be that litter of stray cats?

Bai Shuiru tiptoed closer and listened with bated breath.
