"Why don't you go directly to the construction site? What's so good about this school? Meiyue isn't attending elementary school." Tang Xue asked Zheng Wenjie in the passenger seat while looking at the school outside the car window.

"Isn't it popular nowadays that your mentality will become younger and younger if you hang out with young people? This is called reverse aging. Forget it, an old lady in your fifties or sixties like you wouldn't understand." Zheng Wenjie said to Tang Xue with a look of disgust.

Tang Xue resisted the urge to curse, pursed her lips and said with a fake smile: "So you want to grow back to the age of an elementary school student?"

Zheng Wenjie smiled and pointed at the little boy in school uniform and hat across the street: "Look, do you see that kid?"

Tang Xue glanced at him and nodded: "Yes, I saw him, but he is just an ordinary kid. What's wrong with him?"

"This kid should be 68 years old this year, right? Time flies." Zheng Wenjie continued with some nostalgia: "When I was still a human, he was only eight or nine years old, and he even took me to grill fish."

Tang Xue said "oh" and looked at Zheng Wenjie, a hint of melancholy flashed in her eyes. The master must be feeling pain because of turning into a zombie, just like the young lady who would suddenly stand still when practicing boxing and think of many dead friends and relatives.

Holding Zheng Wenjie's hand, he whispered, "There's nothing wrong with becoming a zombie. Don't think too much about it."

"What are you thinking about? Of course it's good to be a zombie." Zheng Wenjie looked at Tang Xue's worried expression in confusion and asked curiously, "When I was still a human, he resurrected and took me to eat grilled fish. I was thinking about what I should take him to do when we meet again this time. What are you doing?"

Tang Xue's expression froze, and then she looked at Zheng Wenjie expressionlessly and said, "I'm overthinking it. Just do whatever you want. I'll wait for you in the car."

"Xiaoxue, I don't know what you are thinking when I look at you now. I think it's because you have too many things to do."

"If you want to be a secretary, then be a secretary. If you want to manage a sect, then manage the sect. You have to focus on getting things done. Your young lady has complained to me. Tomorrow I will see what you have done to my Sun God Sect." Zheng Wenjie said this before getting out of the car.

Tang Xue gnashed her teeth as she stared at Zheng Wenjie's back: "Besides confirming the name of the Sun God Cult and tricking two people into joining, what else have you done? You still have the nerve to say it's your cult, when it's clearly all supported by me!"

Zheng Wenjie stood in front of Fu Sheng and let him run into him before he came to his senses: "Hey, kid, it's very dangerous if you don't look at the road like this."

"I'm sorry, I will pay attention next time." Fu Sheng lowered his head and apologized. After that, he wanted to avoid Zheng Wenjie, but was blocked again.

Fu Sheng raised his head depressedly, squinted his eyes and saw clearly before continuing to ask: "Sir, I have already apologized to you, why are you still stopping me?"

"Fusheng, it's only been so many years and you've already forgotten me," Zheng Wenjie half squatted down in disbelief, took off his sunglasses and looked at Fusheng with a smile.

Fu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, poked Zheng Wenjie's cheek with his finger and murmured, "I'm not dreaming, am I, Brother Yang?"

"My name is Zheng Wenjie now. I've changed my name like you guys. I'll call you Brother Zheng."

"Wow, it's really you!" Fu Sheng was overjoyed and hugged Zheng Wenjie's neck with both hands and said loudly: "You haven't come to see me for so many years, it's too much!"

Zheng Wenjie took advantage of the situation and stood up while holding Fusheng, saying with a smile: "Who told you to run around everywhere? I can't find where you went. If you want to blame someone, blame Big Brother Kuang."

"Then how did you find me now, Brother Zheng?"

Zheng Wenjie tilted his head and hummed: "Maybe it's because I want to be resurrected so much that I suddenly sensed where you are, so I came to find you."

Fu Sheng smiled and patted Zheng Wenjie on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Brother Zheng, I am over 60 years old this year. Can you please stop treating me like a child?"

"Well, you're still in elementary school. How about going out with me today? I'll ask for leave for you."

Fu Sheng nodded happily: "Of course, Brother Zheng, we haven't seen each other for sixty years, so of course we should have a good reunion."

"Oh, it would be great if your brother Kuang thinks the same as you do. Let's go and ask for leave from your teacher." Zheng Wenjie carried Fusheng into the school, and only returned to the car after successfully asking for leave with Fusheng's cooperation.

"Brother Zheng, who is this beautiful sister?" Fu Sheng asked Zheng Wenjie with an innocent face as he leaned over to look at Tang Xue who was driving.

"Maid, little boy, you know the dowry maid, right?" Tang Xue replied with a cold face before Zheng Wenjie could speak.

Fu Sheng took a deep breath and looked at Zheng Wenjie with envy: "Brother Zheng, you are still strong despite your age."

Tang Xue couldn't help laughing out loud, and after coughing a few times to cover it up, she asked nonchalantly, "So where are we going now?"

"Let's go to the construction site. I'll finish the task your lady assigned to me first. By the way, Fu Sheng, is there any place you want to go or play?"

Fu Sheng shook his head with a look of regret: "Brother Zheng, you can go wherever you want. I have been to too many places and played too many things."

Zheng Wenjie hummed, turned his head and looked at Fu Sheng who was sitting in the back row and said, "No need to hide it, she is a zombie just like us."

Fu Sheng didn't react for a moment and stared at Zheng Wenjie blankly: "This... beautiful sister, Brother Zheng, did you turn her into a zombie?"

"I bit my wife, and my wife bit her, that's it," Zheng Wenjie explained simply.

Fu Sheng uttered an awkward sound. Zheng Wenjie turned his head and looked at Fu Sheng: "What's wrong? Can't you accept it?"

"Well, a little bit."

Zheng Wenjie smiled and continued, "That's right, Brother Kuang, you guys have never bitten a living person, right?"

Fu Sheng sighed deeply and asked in frustration: "Brother Zheng, why did you turn them into zombies? They can only survive by sucking human blood every day. The longer they live like this, the more painful it will be."

"Because I want to become a zombie." Tang Xue continued calmly: "If you don't want to die and want revenge, you have to become a zombie. So I have always been grateful to you, Miss. I also swore that I would always be good to you and not let you get hurt in any way."

Zheng Wenjie rubbed his arms in disgust: "Stop talking. I'm going to get goosebumps if you keep talking."

Tang Xue took a deep breath and murmured, "It's getting more and more infuriating."

"What did you say?"

Tang Xue forced a smile and said, "Oh, I was wondering if I could report to you on the progress of the construction of the Tsutenkaku Tower and the possible problems that may arise after the market department's investigation?"

Zheng Wenjie took a comfortable position and looked at the people coming and going outside the car window: "There are so many people in Hong Kong Island now, let's talk."

"Eight months ago, when we started laying the foundation, our subsidiary reported the cost of replacing a series of construction machinery, including mixers, drill bits, hammers, etc." "The cost of repurchasing various machines alone was HK$2.3 million, but three months ago, the cost of purchasing machines was replaced by material costs, which is more than twice the original budget."

"After the head office staff went down to investigate, they found that the damaged machines were all in good condition, and the materials and other conditions were verified to be accurate, and no problems were found."

Fu Sheng shook his head and said, "Do we need to investigate this specifically? Either a group of people are in cahoots with each other, or it's just evil."

"Oh, Fusheng is very understanding." Zheng Wenjie couldn't help but tease Fusheng as he looked at him, who still looked like a child.

Fu Sheng's face fell and he stuck his head into the cab, looked at Zheng Wenjie and said, "So even if the zombies want to bite me, why can't they wait until I grow up? I'm already 68 years old, and Brother Kuang, Sister Xiu and you still treat me like a child."

"Alas." Fu Sheng shook his head, took a deep breath, and lay back on the recliner, looking at the blue sky outside the window and said weakly: "It's all because of you that I can't grow up physically, and my heart can't grow up either."

Zheng Wenjie chuckled and said, "Well... since you said that, I sincerely apologize to you. How about this, in addition to turning you back into a human, I promise you anything you want. How about that?"

"You can't fulfill my wish. Why are there zombies in this world that never grow up? Please continue, beautiful sister."

There were fewer and fewer people and vehicles around. Tang Xue was almost at Yuen Long while driving. "There must be an answer to whether it was corruption or evil spirits, but nothing can be found. There was no corruption, and no one said they were evil spirits."

"However, a construction worker in the construction team let something slip. He said something that was reported by the investigation team as an answer."

"What?" Zheng Wenjie asked, looking at the construction site ahead which looked bustling with activity.

After Tang Xue stopped the car, she turned her head and looked at Zheng Wenjie and said, "Everything has returned to normal after the captain hit the pile. There is no impact anymore."

"Apart from these original words, he didn't say a single word no matter how much the investigation team questioned him."

"Hit the living stake?" Fu Sheng stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "I seem to have heard this term somewhere."

"Driving living piles means using living people as the foundation. Legend has it that this is an evil technique recorded in Lu Ban's book."

Zheng Wenjie exclaimed, "Fusheng, let's go. I'll take you for a walk after we've dealt with this matter."

"Okay, but how do we deal with this? This building is already six stories high." Fu Sheng put his hand against his forehead to block the midday sun, counted the floors and said.

“Even if I bury dozens or hundreds of people, I can still sleep well. But since it’s a building built by ourselves, why build it on the heads of dead people?” Zheng Wenjie said, pressing Fu Sheng’s shoulder.

Tang Xue looked at the time on her watch. The iron door surrounding the construction site was pushed open. A middle-aged man wearing a construction hat and a suit trotted over to the car and panted, saying, "Secretary General, there was a small problem just now. I'm late."

"Not too late, just right. This is Mr. Zheng Wenjie, the group's director. Do you know the reason for your visit, Captain Dai?"

Captain Dai stared at Zheng Wenjie in a daze, then looked at Tang Xue and shook his head: "Secretary-General, Director Zheng, the head office only said that a leader would be here, but no one has told us what it is."

"Go in and take a look first. Come on, Fusheng. How about we solve this problem quickly and then I'll take you out to sea to play?"

"Going out to sea?" Fu Sheng shook his head. "It's boring, so I might as well go shopping in the supermarket. At least I'll feel comfortable when I'm shopping in the supermarket."

"Yes, that's right." Tang Xue nodded seriously: "Shopping feels really great. I feel much better every time after shopping."

"Captain Dai, can I call you that?" Zheng Wenjie turned around and looked at Captain Dai, who was following him two steps behind him after closing the iron gate, and asked.

Captain Dai bowed his head and said, "You can call me whatever you want, Director."

"Problems arose right after the construction began. What exactly was the problem and why didn't you report it in detail to the head office?" Zheng Wenjie looked at the busy construction workers in front of him and roughly counted them, about seventy people.

Captain Dai wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand and said with a strong voice, "No, there is no big problem. It's just that the geology is not good, so there was a suspension in the early stage, but in the past few months, our construction team has caught up with the progress."

“Please rest assured, Director and Secretary General, we will never let the head office down and will deliver on time according to the budget.”

Fusheng grabbed Zheng Wenjie's wrist and pulled it down. Zheng Wenjie looked down and saw Fusheng pointing at the Qingshui floor and making a seven gesture.

"Were all seven people buried alive?" Zheng Wenjie asked.

When Captain Dai behind him heard this, his face turned pale instantly and he stammered, not knowing what to say.

"Yes, I have seen that the seven of them died together, and their deaths were only twenty seconds apart. It was so pitiful. They were all sealed by cement." Fu Sheng sighed and his green pupils turned back to black.

"Director, Secretary General, how did you know this?" Captain Dai felt his temples throbbing as he listened to Fu Sheng's words.

"Just tell me the whole story honestly, don't hide anything. I won't do anything to you, and I won't call the police." Zheng Wenjie looked at Captain Dai and smiled gently: "We are a family. I am very curious about why you chose to do this."

"Director, please follow me. Let's go to the office and talk. Although it is very simple, it is a place where we can communicate and have a conversation." Captain Dai led the way, nodding and bowing. However, beads of sweat dripped down his face. He could only wipe the sweat off with a dusty towel.

Captain Dai's office was indeed very simple as he said. After he waited on Zheng Wenjie and Tang Xue and helped them sit down, he rubbed his hands and asked, "Does the director need to let the children go out and play for a while?"

"No need, just tell me directly. I will leave after I understand." Zheng Wenjie raised his chin to indicate that he could start.

Captain Dai sighed and said, "Actually, a lot of strange things happened eight months ago. Many machines suddenly broke down during operation."

"At that time...it had been five months since the foundation was laid, and the general manager had no other options. But President Zhao Lei had done us a great favor, and we, the general manager, did not want to give up on President Zhao Lei's last wish."

Tang Xue interrupted and explained to Zheng Wenjie: "The general manager of this subsidiary is Dai Qicai, the cousin of Captain Dai. Dai Qicai was supported by Zhao Lei to start a team from a construction worker and start contracting the construction."

"Oh~ You are relatives." Fu Sheng said with an expression that said, "I guess that's it."

Captain Dai smiled awkwardly and continued, "My cousin, ahem, the general manager didn't want to disappoint President Zhao so he asked for advice everywhere but to no avail. Finally, the general manager brought someone who was dressed in retro style from somewhere."

"I remember clearly that when he introduced himself, he said his name was Zhao Wenru and he was a Feng Shui master." (End of this chapter)
