Chapter 25
When I came to the office, colleagues from various departments were busy.

After saying hello to a few close colleagues, Xia Youren came to his desk and prepared to sit down for a few minutes before leaving.

Unexpectedly, I heard several colleagues whispering there.

"Have you seen Deputy Editor Sun this morning?"

"No."

"No."

"CISSY didn't come today either."

"She didn't come yesterday."

"I'll tell you a secret secret."

"What gossip?"

"I just heard the editor-in-chief making a phone call in the office, saying that deputy editor-in-chief Sun had a car accident while driving back yesterday afternoon. He is still in the hospital for emergency treatment. CISSY didn't come today because she was taking care of her boyfriend in the hospital."

"what?"

"Is it serious?"

"I don't know. I heard that the person is still unconscious."

"Vice Editor Sun had a car accident, should we go and see him?"

"Of course I'm going."

"After all, his family is a shareholder of the newspaper. Let's buy a fruit basket and go to the hospital to check it out."

……

Hearing this, Xia Youren couldn't sit still. He stood up and walked to some gossiping colleagues and asked, "You said something happened to sister CISSY's boyfriend?"

My colleagues were also a little curious, "Aren, your relationship with CISSY is so strong, you don't know?"

Xia Youren's face was not red and his heart was not beating: "I went to Huangshan Village yesterday to collect news clues and didn't come back until midnight."

"I am not sure as well."

The colleague shook his head and said, "I just heard it when I went to the editor-in-chief's office to deliver materials. You can only find out what's going on by calling CISSY."

Another colleague said: "Aren, you have such a good relationship with CISSY. Deputy Editor Sun has taken care of you in the past. We still have reasons to go see him later, but you must go early."

The colleague nodded repeatedly, "Yes, you can tell us what happened when you come back."

"Ah."

Xia Youren nodded, "I'll ask the team leader what's going on first."

Arriving at the team leader's office, Xia Youren knocked lightly on the door.

"Dong dong~"

"Come in."

Xia Youren pushed the door open and went in, "Team leader, I have investigated the matter in Huangshan Village clearly, and I have given the news materials to Sister CISSY."

"Aren, CISSY has already communicated with me about Huangshan Village, added local legends, and published it in three or five issues of the newspaper. It does have the potential to become a hit."

Putting down the information in his hands, the team leader smiled and nodded, "You came just in time. I have another task for you here."

Xia Youren's face showed embarrassment, "Team leader, I came here to ask for a few days off."

"Aren."

The team leader said earnestly: "You should know about Deputy Editor Sun, right?"

Xia Youren tentatively asked: "Car accident?"

"Ah."

The team leader nodded, "CISSY, as the deputy team leader of our team, has asked the editor-in-chief for leave to take care of her boyfriend in the hospital."

"Her fake editor-in-chief has approved it. You also know the current situation of our newspaper. Competition is fierce."

There was a hint of emotion on the team leader's face, "You will resign in one month. If you persist, please help me, the team leader."

As the team leader, although he does not have to go out to run business, he must control the context of the entire team and reasonably allocate the scheduling tasks to each team member.

There is competition among the various groups, and if there is hot news, he, the group leader, will also receive a bonus.

If the news is ordinary and has no highlights, he will not be glorious at the monthly summary meeting.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Youren nodded, "Team leader, that's okay, I'll hold on for a few more days."

"That's right." A smile appeared on the team leader's face, and then he handed over the information in his hand, "What do you think of this news clue?"

Xia Youren took it and took a look, his eyes couldn't help but shrink slightly.

Seeing that Xia Youren was also shocked by the news in the information, the team leader showed a smile.

"Aren, a pervert has appeared in Yau Ma Tei recently. The police have received reports from many women, saying that they were forcibly molested. This has caused panic in the area and many women are afraid to go out alone at night."

"This is the inside information I got through a friend. He said that the police have set up a dragnet and are preparing to arrest this pervert and pervert tonight."

"You can wait outside the Yau Ma Tei Police Station later. You will definitely be able to get first-hand information by then."

After the team leader finished speaking, Xia Youren's mind was spinning rapidly.

Having just killed the beautiful aunt, he knew very well that this was the plot of "Mountain Village Old Corpse 2 - The Evil Ghost of Sex".

I just didn't expect it to come so soon.

Do you want to intervene yourself?
Without any hesitation, Xia Youren said immediately: "Team leader, I'll go take a look later."

After leaving the office, Xia Youren lingered at his desk for a few more minutes, then went to tell the team leader and left the newspaper office.

After going downstairs, Xia Youren came to the parking lot and found that Lao Deng was not there.

I looked around and found Lin Zhengying chatting with the security guard at the gate.

Xia Youren didn't pay attention, drove the car over and gently honked the horn.

"Baba~"

"Father-in-law, get in the car."

Lin Zhengying opened the car door and got in, with a strange expression on his face, "Aren, do you know there is something wrong with the building of your newspaper?"

"I know."

Xia Youren nodded, "When I first came to the newspaper office, I heard from the old employees that this building is very strange. Nine people die every year from July to September."

Lin Zhengying was a little surprised, "Then you still won't move out?"

Xia Youren said: "The rent here is very cheap, do you think the bosses who drink human blood are willing to do it?"

Lin Zhengying asked again: "Then what do you employees think? Are you not afraid of difficulties?"

"What are you afraid of?"

Xia Youren rolled his eyes, "We are more afraid of poverty than death."

"Besides, only nine people die in this building every year."

"If you look at other companies, some people can't handle the pressure, and there are countless people who commit suicide by jumping off the building."

Nine people die mysteriously every year from July to September in this building. Almost all the old employees who work in the building know this news.

But just like what he said, some people either don’t believe it or are just lucky.

The building is so big, there are dozens of companies inside, and there are thousands of employees.

I don’t know how many people leave and new people join every year.

The strange deaths of just a few people did not create any waves at all.

Taking a step back, more people die in car accidents every day on Hong Kong Island than this.

For a boss, it would be fine if his employees died and he could not be hired again.

On Hong Kong Island, the most indispensable thing is people.

But Lin Zhengying has a different view.

"Aren, I feel something is wrong with your building."

Lin Zhengying frowned slightly, "I feel like it must have been lowered."

"Head down?"

Xia Youren raised his eyebrows, "What kind of surrender?"

"There are too few clues collected so far, and I don't know."

Lin Zhengying shook his head, "I have to go inside the building to see it before I know."
