Chapter 101 Banana Grove

Tang Xue stood up suddenly, raised her head and said proudly: "We are zombies! Immortal zombies!"

Yu'er looked at Tang Xue and fell into silence.

Gong Ruomei looked at Tang Xue with amusement, and said while holding Yu'er's hand: "No matter what we are, you just need to know that we won't hurt you. You will live here in the future, and I will have an extra companion."

Zheng Wenjie cheered them up and said, "You have to be obedient. Don't be like Xiaoxue. Don't be like Xiaoxue now, being disrespectful. Now you call me 'you' and 'your'."

Tang Xue made a face at Zheng Wenjie: "Then what do you want me to call you?"

"I was very happy when you came back and didn't think about anything, but now the more I think about it, the angrier I get. You actually left me and the young lady for more than 30 years and didn't even come back to see us."

Zheng Wenjie lay on the sofa, patted his head and said weakly: "I didn't do it on purpose, I'm just trapped and can't get out!"

Tang Xue was stunned and immediately got angry and shouted: "You still want to deceive me! Who can trap you? The ghost messenger named Zhao Li told me everything."

"You've become the Hades' lover in the underworld, and you've never wanted to leave. If the young lady hadn't pressured me to not say these things like before, I would have lost my temper a long time ago!"

"Haha." Gong Ruomei looked at Tang Xue and laughed out loud: "Xiaoxue, this is fake! Which ghost told you such nonsense?"

Zheng Wenjie also sat up and looked at Tang Xue helplessly: "My eldest lady, what are you talking about?"

Gong Ruomei smiled and said, "Not long after you left, that ghost came again. I couldn't contact you at the time, and the sound transmission jade couldn't emit green smoke."

"Tang Xue tied the ghost to the training pillar of the martial arts hall. In the end, the ghost said that you are trapped, but you are fine. I was going to let him go after I feel relieved. Xiao Xue refused to let him go. She didn't believe you could be trapped."

"Later, the ghost messenger had no choice but to make up a lie to deceive Xiaoxue, saying that you were the lover of the Hades, and that because of you, the Hades no longer came to the court early in the morning."

"The more I listened, the more confused I became. Finally, I realized that this underworld messenger referred to you as Daji and the Hades as King Zhou. In his mouth, the underworld is about to perish."

Tang Xue opened her mouth and stared at Gong Ruomei blankly: "Miss, what Daji, what King Zhou."

Gong Ruomei looked at Tang Xue with a smile and said, "There are so many books in the study, but you never read them and just play all day long. If you had read more books, would you have been deceived until now?"

"What? Miss, didn't you believe it at that time?" Tang Xue grabbed her hair.

"That's because you didn't let that evil spirit go, and I didn't want to see you worrying all the time, so I went along with you and that evil spirit."

Zheng Wenjie looked at Tang Xue helplessly: "My dear Miss, I understand. Am I Daji in your eyes?"

Tang Xue's face flushed red: "No, I...I...what he said sounded like the truth, I didn't expect he was lying to me!"

"Isn't that true? Feng Huo Xi Zhu Hou has come out. There are several underworlds in the underworld. They originally obeyed the words of Hades, but since Hades saw you, in order to please you, he wants you not to be sad about abandoning your wife."

"Something big happened in the underworld and the Hades kept running around. In the end, the Hades stopped coming. The Hades were almost overthrown because of you." Gong Ruomei blushed as she smiled and said to Tang Xue, "At that time, I saw that you were so absorbed in what you heard that you believed it to be true."

Zheng Wenjie looked at Tang Xue and complained, "My dear lady, I understand everything. Zhao Li told you the truth but you didn't believe him, and he wanted to trap him. In the end, he had no choice but to make up a story for you and you believed it!"

Tang Xuesheng looked at Zheng Wenjie helplessly, then turned to look at Gong Ruomei: "Miss, am I the only one who was kept in the dark? Then all the years of anger I've had were in vain, right?"

Yu'er's soft and warm voice came out of her mouth: "It's not that you are kept in the dark. I also understand that you were deceived by the ghost messenger named Zhao Li! Find a way to let the ghost messenger named Zhao Li come out, and I will help you get revenge! Let's kill him together!"

Gong Ruomei patted Yu'er's hand and said, "Don't kill anyone at will in the future. Don't kill anyone if you can avoid it. Do you understand?"

Tang Xue looked at Zheng Wenjie's mocking expression, her face flushed red as she said loudly, "Who told you to make me feel like you were the most powerful person in the world! How could you be trapped!"

Zheng Wenjie spread his hands with an innocent look on his face: "So I must be a lustful person who abandoned his wife and children for Hades?"

"Who... who said you abandoned your wife and children! I am not your child!" Tang Xue said with her neck straightened.

"Okay! Okay! It's all my fault! I sincerely apologize to you this time!"

"I'll arrange a room for Yu'er!" Tang Xue blushed, took Yu'er's hand and ran up the stairs.

...

"It's right here!" Zheng Wenjie stood on the edge of the mountain and looked at the shantytown below, nodding with satisfaction.

This is the mountainous area between Shatin and Kowloon Peninsula. After two days of rest, Zhao Lei came to visit and said that everything was ready, and they were just waiting for Zheng Wenjie to confirm the location of the Tsutenkaku.

Zhao Lei looked at the sheds at the foot of the mountain and said expressionlessly: "I will give you the design plan and construction drawings for your approval within a month!"

Zheng Wenjie glanced at Zhao Lei and said with a smile, "Cheer up a bit. You looked miserable since you called me this morning."

"Yes." Zhao Lei pulled his stiff face and continued, "Regarding the design of Tongtian Tower, Mr. Zheng, if you have any ideas, you can communicate with the company's designers first."

“Or bid to famous designers around the world.”

Zheng Wenjie twisted his neck and loosened his black tie. The suit he wore today was all black, or some kind of black according to Gong Ruomei.

"I do have an idea." Zheng Wenjie turned and looked at Zhao Lei: "We want to build the tallest building in Hong Kong Island, a landmark building. The bidding is too slow. Let the company's designers produce the blueprints and start preparations for the project."

"I understand." Zhao Lei nodded silently, and suddenly said: "Zhang Tianci passed away in the middle of the night last night."

Zheng Wenjie was stunned for a moment, then said, "I've only met him once since I came back."

"Yes, we only met once, and his daughter became a widow, and I lost my son." Zhao Lei said calmly.

Zheng Wenjie exclaimed, "Really? Am I too sorry for you guys?"

"If it weren't for you, we would have died long ago. Even if we were still alive, we wouldn't be able to enjoy our current life. This is what we owe you! I will do well in this last thing you taught me."

Zheng Wenjie raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Lei: "That's best, let's go."

Zhao Lei smiled self-deprecatingly and got into the car behind Zheng Wenjie. The bodyguard and driver A Kuan also started the car and started to go down the mountain along the road.

"Let's give Tianci a proper funeral!" Zheng Wenjie said with his eyes closed.

Zhao Lei was a little surprised but still said: "His last words were to find a quiet place to bury him directly without any ceremony."

"Where's that woman?" Zhao Lei knew who Zheng Wenjie was asking about. "She's gone. She took her daughter Zhang Rui on a plane and left Hong Kong Island this morning."

Suddenly, there was a sudden brake, and Zhao Lei crashed headfirst into the seat of the car in front without any preparation. God Zhao Lei shouted in a low voice: "A Kuan!"

"Boss, I'm sorry, I seem to be dazzled just now." A Kuan turned his head to apologize, then looked around carefully, rubbed his eyes and was about to start the car when there was a knock on the car window.

Zheng Wenjie, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, opened the car door and got out.

"Sir, please be kind and give us something to eat." The person who spoke was the old man who had just knocked on the car window. He had gray hair and was wearing some dirty clothes. When he saw Zheng Wenjie get out of the car, he took two steps closer.

Zheng Wenjie ignored him and looked at Zhao Lei who got out of the car with his head touched. He said, "When the time comes, chop down this banana forest as well."

"Sir, please... " The old man continued speaking halfway when a stack of Hong Kong dollars appeared in front of him.

Zheng Wenjie put the wallet back into his clothes with one hand, and waited for the old man to take the money before saying, "Take the money and take care of your health. You are so young and yet you have been bewitched by a ghost and become like this."

Ah Kuan looked at the old man with an unpleasant expression. It was this old man who suddenly appeared and disappeared just now. He thought he was dazzled. He couldn't help but say impulsively: "Go! Don't you know this is a road? Are you going to die?"

When the old man heard this, he turned around abruptly and stared at A Kuan without any fluctuation in his eyes, as if he was looking at a dead person.

A surge of anger inexplicably surged from his chest, and A Kuan kicked the old man to the ground, his eyes red as he kept kicking him.

"A Kuan! Stop it!" Zhao Lei shouted his name, trying to stop him.

Ah Kuan, however, did not react at all and let the Hong Kong dollars given by Zheng Wenjie scatter all over the floor. The old man gradually lost his reaction, but Ah Kuan still did not stop.

Zhao Lei couldn't help it and pushed A Kuan to the ground and shouted: "Are you crazy?"

Ah Kuan ignored Zhao Lei and looked at Zheng Wenjie and asked unwillingly, "How did you find out?"

Zheng Wenjie smiled and said, "I didn't notice it. Someone told me."

Zhao Lei looked puzzled, but immediately took two steps back.

"You're lucky this time! I hope you'll have such good luck next time!" After saying this, A Kuan's expression twisted in pain, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood, and then he died.

Zhao Lei stepped forward and turned Zhao Lei's body over. After observing it carefully for a while, he said, "Master Zheng, he died of poisoning."

A deafening sound suddenly came from the front of the road. A small section of the road was destroyed by a violent explosion, and thick smoke rose.

Zheng Wenjie sighed, looked at Zhao Lei and said calmly: "This level can only ruin my clothes, but it can't even hurt my skin."

Zhao Lei also understood, his face looked very ugly: "I don't know these!"

"What's going on with that woman?" Zheng Wenjie asked, looking at the old woman on the ground who had been kicked to death by A Kuan.

"You mean... Zhang Tianci's wife?"

"What else?" Zheng Wenjie continued, "It's obvious that they are coming for me. These are your driver and bodyguard. They have been with you for a long time, right?"

"But I don't believe you dare to have any thoughts about me. After all, you know that even if you die and become a ghost, you will still be under my control."

"I've only been back for a few days, and you've chosen to use a bomb to kill me. Who else but Zhang Tianci's wife could be the one who knows something about me but not everything, and is related to you and could be a thorn in your side?"

"Xiao Lan... should have been on the plane by now." Zhao Lei said, rubbing his face.

"Get rid of her." Zheng Wenjie said indifferently.

"I see." Zhao Lei nodded and stepped forward to open the car door for Zheng Wenjie: "Mr. Zheng, please get in the car first. I'll call someone over."

Zheng Wenjie got in the car, and Zhao Lei also sat in the driver's seat, took out his mobile phone and called someone, then hesitated and called Hou Jie.

After explaining the matter, Zhao Lei hung up the phone and said to Zheng Wenjie: "Hou Jie will ask the police to issue a warrant and contact the British side to arrest Xiao Lan."

Zheng Wenjie hummed, and there was a knocking sound on the car window again. Zheng Wenjie lowered the window, and the old man who had been kicked to death by A Kuan stood up again.

"Sir, did you just say that you want to destroy this banana grove?" The old man's voice was a little low.

"Thank you for reminding me just now, but your banana forest will affect my plan. If you need, I can find a new place for you to move your banana forest there."

"Mr. Ferryman, my name is Chen Zhiyun. If possible, I would like to live near the sea." said the old man.

Zheng Wenjie nodded and ordered: "Zhao Lei, remember to find a place near the sea and move this banana forest there."

"I understand, Master Zheng." Zhao Lei touched the wrinkles on his face, feeling powerless.

"Sir Ferryman, I'll take my leave now. Please feel free to come to me if you need anything." The old man took two steps back and bent over. After waiting for Zheng Wenjie's nod in response, he fell to the ground like a puppet that had lost its support.

"Master Zheng, is this a ghost?"

Zheng Wenjie rolled up the car window and said, "She's not a ghost, she's a demon. There's a demon among the banana trees. She told me just now that someone had planted a bomb ahead of us after we went up the mountain. The person who planted the bomb was the one your driver killed."

"Well, then why did A Kuan beat him to death just now?" Zhao Lei asked puzzledly.

"It wasn't A-Kuan who beat him to death. It was A-Kuan who didn't recognize him. By the time he recognized him, he was possessed by a ghost."

Zheng Wenjie looked at the banana forest and continued, "This banana forest is full of lonely ghosts who don't want to be reincarnated but don't want to wander around alone either."

"This place is kept by a ferryman in the underworld. Every year when he has to complete his mission, he captures a few ghosts and takes them back to the underworld. This senior of mine is really thoughtful."

Zhao Lei turned his head and looked at Zheng Wenjie who was sitting in the back seat in confusion: "Master Zheng, doesn't the underworld care? This is just a position for nothing!"

Zheng Wenjie said with a smile: "Why should we care? As long as there is no chaos, who will care? Let me tell you this, Hades is the emperor, the judge is the cabinet and eunuchs, and the ferryman is the governor who is far away from the emperor."

"As long as you complete the mission of Hades and take care of the Judge, the ferryman can do whatever he wants."
