Chapter 7: Beg me? It's no use!

Jiang Haosheng came to his senses and picked up the phone.

The call was from Zhou Li, his contractor!

"Boss, this has gotten out of hand!"

"One of my workers went home..."

"He was found tragically dead at home!"

"There were scorch marks on his neck!"

"It must have been those ghosts that escaped from underground!"

"Including the two who died on the construction site, and now the two at home, four workers have died!"

Zhou Li said in panic!

"What should we do now?!"

"Are all the people on our demolition team going to die at the hands of those evil spirits?!"

"During the demolition, you said you would take full responsibility for anything that happened!"

"You have to keep your word!"

Zhou Li said on the phone, with a hint of tears in his voice!

He was such a big man, and he looked fierce and ferocious on weekdays! He

was even used to being domineering on the construction site!

However, after encountering ghosts, he was actually scared and cried!

Jiang Haosheng was silent after hearing this!

He'd just encountered a ghost, and the suffocating feeling around his neck hadn't even dissipated yet!

Perhaps, those leading the demolition had disturbed the slumber of those fierce spirits underground, and now they were targeting him!

After thinking for a moment, he sighed!

"Do as I say!"

"First this... then this!"

"Go!"

"I'll go and beg that young Taoist priest now,"

Jiang Haosheng said helplessly.

Although he harbored resentment towards Su Ming, since his life was at stake, he naturally kept it to himself!

Instead, he decided to lower his stance and beg Su Ming!

After all, in his view, a true man was someone who could take on responsibilities and let go!

Asking for help wasn't something to be ashamed of!

...

Inside the police station, Su Ming sat in a chair in the holding cell.

A sense of relief washed over him!

Having reached the Qi Refining stage, he was no longer just an ordinary human! He

was an Immortal Cultivator, and there weren't many in the world who could reach that level!

This was because we were in the Dharma Ending Age!

He had reached the Qi Refining Stage entirely by using Regret Points, exchanged within the system!

As if struck by something, Su Ming opened the system panel!

It showed that he had already collected 5,000 Regret Points!

Most of this Regret Points came from the workers on the demolition team. Even the foreman, Zhou Li, and Jiang Haosheng, the team's behind-the-scenes boss, had contributed 100 Regret Points each!

"Do you regret it now?!"

"It's too late!"

Su Ming muttered.

He had completely given up, letting himself go!

A person feels the best when they are free of responsibility!

Just as he was thinking this, a commotion erupted outside the police station!

"Where's the Little Heavenly Master?!" "

Get him out, we have something to ask!" "

Human lives are at stake, get him out!"

"Little Heavenly Master, please, get out!"

Outside the police station, workers and even residents of the construction site were gathered in a crowd!

Without exception, they had all recently experienced a paranormal event!

At this moment, they knelt at the police station entrance, a thick cloud of regret welling up in their hearts!

Had they known there was something truly filthy underneath that house?

They wouldn't have agreed to demolish it, no matter what!

Zhang Daming and the other police officers frowned upon witnessing this scene,

their hearts filled with silence.

Previously, when Su Ming had blocked the demolition, it was this group that had caused the most trouble!

They'd called reporters to expose Su Ming and called the police, hoping to have him detained!

Jiang Haosheng was even more of a bastard!

He even wanted to find a lawyer to sue Su Ming and put him in jail for life!

Now, things had gotten out of hand!

It was like a ghost!

Now they were begging Su Ming again!

What had they been doing before?!

Just then, Jiang Haosheng and the foreman arrived

belatedly! Without a word, they

knelt down at the police station entrance!

Seeing this, Zhang Daming was in awe! Putting aside

the other details, when he'd previously visited the construction site and heard Jiang Haosheng was about to sue Su Ming, he'd smoothed things over for him

, saying they'd leave some room for a future encounter.

Jiang Haosheng vowed this!

What bottom line should I give to that ant Su Ming!

Now it's funny, he kneels as soon as he comes!

He must have seen a ghost, so he came to ask the little Taoist priest for help!

"Hey, isn't this the big boss, Jiang Haosheng?!"

"The police station is not an ancestral hall, why are you kneeling?!"

"You're a big boss, a big shot, your status is there!"

"Kneeling is so ugly!"

"Get up, get up quickly!"

Zhang Daming said with a smile, but there was a hint of mockery in his eyes towards Jiang Haosheng!

Jiang Haosheng, this person, has harmed others and himself, causing several deaths!

He deserved this end!

Jiang Haosheng could naturally hear the sarcasm in Zhang Daming's words

, but he kept silent

! Then, with a flattering face, he spoke to Zhang Daming!

"Captain Zhang, stop talking."

"Things have come to this point, and many people have died."

"Human lives are at stake!"

"You'd better ask the little Taoist priest to come out,"

Jiang Haosheng said at this moment.

Zhang Daming snorted coldly at this

and then walked towards the detention room!

Although he couldn't stand Jiang Haosheng's style, what Jiang Haosheng said was right!

Human lives were at stake, and now the situation was getting bigger and bigger!

If no action was taken, I'm afraid the situation would be difficult to resolve!

And the Little Heavenly Master was the key to solving the problem!

Soon, Zhang Daming arrived at the detention room and walked towards Su Ming!

"Little Taoist Priest, can you come with me?!"

"There's a group of people outside, kneeling at the police station entrance."

"They all want to see you!"

Zhang Daming said.

Su Ming was immediately amused!

"To see me?"

"I'm in detention!"

"Not!"

Su Ming refused outright!

You're kidding! During the demolition, they were eager to leave!

Now that something's happened, they want to see me again?!

Zhang Daming was embarrassed by this!

"Don't say anything! I won't leave no matter what you say!"

"Past causes, present consequences!"

"They've brought this upon themselves!"

Su Ming said calmly.

Zhang Daming sighed at this!

How could he not understand what Su Ming meant?

In fact, he'd understood the entire situation from the very beginning!

He felt helpless!

Seeing that Su Ming had no intention of leaving, nor of taking any action,

he could only leave first to calm the crowd!

The migrant workers, along with Jiang Haosheng and the others, suddenly became noisy when they saw Zhang Daming emerge alone!

"Where's the little Taoist priest?!"

"Why hasn't he come out?!"

"We've encountered a ghost now!"

"Hasn't he always been responsible for the ghosts under the construction site?!"

"Why hasn't he come out?!"

The migrant workers said in unison.
