"Young man, please take ho!"
After the old man returned to the grave, the woman said to Su Xuan, feeling a little embarrassed.
She truly felt awkward. She had co to the grave with no intention of returning ho. However, after Su Xuan’s help, she not only wanted to go back but also wanted to continue living her life to the fullest. Otherwise, she felt she would be letting down her husband’s heartfelt advice.
"Okay."
Su Xuan let out a breath and escorted the woman through the waist-high weeds back to the car.
His exhale wasn’t from fatigue. Rather, he felt refreshed and his mind was at peace, as if he was exhaling negative energy.
"Auntie, I don’t understand sign language." As the car started toward the city, Su Xuan couldn’t help but ask, "What exactly did your husband say to make you so happy?"
The woman had nothing to hide. "My husband told he would wait for . On the day I am buried, he’ll accompany into our next life together. But if I deliberately take my own life, I’ll be burdened with sin and won’t be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation."
"Makes sense."
Su Xuan nodded. He had heard similar things before.
But is there really reincarnation in this world? Can people truly et again in the next life?
Just then, his phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID: Cen Haonan.
"Brother Su!" Cen Haonan’s voice was enthusiastic the mont he answered. "Are you free right now? Want to co to my bar for a couple of drinks?"
It was already past eight in the evening. Su Xuan said, "Isn’t it a bit late?"
"No problem at all," Cen Haonan said. "Just a casual drink. Besides, I have so things to report to you."
"I’m heading into the city now. I might be a little late," Su Xuan said.
"It’s fine. I’ll wait for you at the bar."
After hanging up, Su Xuan chatted with the woman for a little longer.
Naturally, she didn’t forget to ask Su Xuan how he was able to see her husband, a question that had been on her mind the entire ti. Su Xuan didn’t reveal the whole truth, rely brushing it off by saying he had been very sick once, and after recovering, he gained the ability to see things ordinary people couldn’t.
The woman even invited Su Xuan to accompany her to visit the grave next ti, which made Su Xuan not know whether to laugh or cry.
By the ti they reached the city and Su Xuan dropped the woman off at her ho, it was already past nine o’clock, approaching ten. Su Xuan then hurried to his eting with Cen Haonan.
However, before he could even reach Cen Haonan’s bar, a series of system notifications echoed in his mind.
"DING, congratulations to the Host for completing a super order!"
"DING, rewarding the Host with the Xithe Funeral Ho!"
"DING, Stage Two Mission Progress: 7/10."
Imdiately, a massive amount of information about the Xithe Funeral Ho flooded into Su Xuan’s mind.
"What’s going on?" Su Xuan’s eyes widened in shock.
He’d actually been rewarded with a funeral ho by the system? What a surprise! Was it because he could see those kinds of things that the system rewarded him? Does the system really tailor its rewards to his life’s path?
Su Xuan pursed his lips and began to review the information about the Xithe Funeral Ho in his mind.
Xithe was a national chain of funeral hos with branches in every province and city. The number of locations reached a staggering six hundred-plus, making its scale truly enormous.
Su Xuan had no real interest in the funeral business and couldn’t be bothered to look at the details. He went straight to Xithe’s market valuation.
He was suddenly dumbfounded.
Xithe was actually worth forty billion! It was comparable to a publicly traded company with excellent profits!
"Impressive!" Su Xuan couldn’t help but murmur. "A company like this is so profitable!"
This improved his mood considerably. After acquiring this company, his net worth was approaching six hundred billion!
"I hope..." Su Xuan suddenly scratched his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "I hope this company isn’t *too* profitable!"
The more money a company like that made, the more families were torn apart by loss.
More than twenty minutes later, Su Xuan arrived at Cen Haonan’s bar.
This was the ti when the bar started to get lively. As soon as Su Xuan walked in, a cacophony of sounds assaulted his ears. Luckily, Cen Haonan didn’t make him drink in the main area, instead seating him in his office, since he had matters to discuss.
"Brother Su, I’ve already picked out a location for my car modification shop," Cen Haonan said, opening a bottle of Rémy Martin for Su Xuan and grinning with delight. "The renovations officially started today. Take a look!"
Cen Haonan unlocked his phone, opened his photo gallery, and showed Su Xuan one picture after another.
He was reporting to Su Xuan like an employee because Su Xuan was a shareholder in his car modification shop.
"Very nice." After looking through the photos, Su Xuan nodded and teased, "Once the shop is all set up, you can practice on my car."
He also realized why Cen Haonan had called him for a drink so late. Cen Haonan must have just finished up at the new shop and was bursting to share his excitent.
"No way!" Cen Haonan clinked glasses with Su Xuan, laughing. "The Koenigsegg and the Charman King are already perfect. Besides, they’re worth too much to ss around with."
"It’s fine. That car’s just been gathering dust at ho lately," Su Xuan said nonchalantly.
"Then there’s even less reason to modify it," Cen Haonan said. "But you could park both cars at our shop for display. It would definitely attract so big business."
"Sure," Su Xuan smiled.
"Brother Cen," Su Xuan then asked, "it’s not the first day we’ve known each other. Did you ask here for sothing else?"
He didn’t believe Cen Haonan had called him out just for this. Sothing like this could have been handled with a few pictures and ssages on WeChat. He guessed that Cen Haonan might be in so kind of trouble, perhaps short on cash.
"Heh heh!" Cen Haonan grinned. "I really can’t hide anything from you, brother. I do have a favor to ask."
"There’s no need for ’favors’ between us. Just tell what’s on your mind," Su Xuan said, proactively refilling Cen Haonan’s glass.
"I haven’t been feeling well recently. I can’t even sleep properly," Cen Haonan said, his face etched with worry. "Could you arrange an appointnt at Kangnai for , so I can get a check-up?"
"For a small thing like that, did you really have to go to all this trouble, brother?"
Su Xuan took out his phone to call Dean Ma, but in the next second, he put it back down.
He stared at Cen Haonan with a solemn expression and asked, "Brother Cen, where exactly are you feeling unwell?"
Cen Haonan replied, "I can’t really put my finger on it. I’ve just been feeling restless lately, waking up in a cold sweat, and having nightmares. I went to a local clinic, but after they ran so tests, they said there’s nothing wrong with . That’s why I was hoping you could arrange sothing at Kangnai..."
"It’s not a problem with you."
Su Xuan shook his head, his gaze still fixed on Cen Haonan.
Cen Haonan was confused. "How is it not my problem? What else could it be?"
"Don’t be scared by what I’m about to say." Su Xuan suddenly lowered his voice. "Sothing that can’t see the light of day has latched onto you."
In truth, he wasn’t looking at Cen Haonan himself. He was looking at what was right behind him...
