After Being Reborn, I Tortured The Vicious Sister-in-law Novel - Chapter 217

217 Had Its Own Rules

“Ugh…” Shen Jian was almost suffocated by the pressure, and his head was buzzing. Fortunately, Wen Le was still conscious. After a few seconds, he quickly got up from Shen Jian’s body.

Shen Jian covered his chest, which was hurting from the impact. He gritted his teeth and got up to walk toward the door.

“What exactly is outside that can scare you so much?” Shen Jian moved closer to the cat’s eye and looked outside.

However, Shen Jian was still scared because of Wen Le’s reaction just now. Therefore, when he was still a little distance away from the peephole, he turned on the camera function of his phone and pointed the lens at the peephole.

!!
This was a method that was circulating on the internet. It was said that this way, not only could they see what was outside the peephole, but it was also safe. If the peephole was destroyed by the bad guys from the outside, this could prevent the damage from being at the peephole.

Shen Jian looked at the peephole for a long time, but he did not see anything. Seeing this, he went over and looked with his naked eyes.

It was bright outside, and there was nothing in sight. He turned around and looked at Su Meng with a puzzled look.

Su Meng crossed her arms over her chest and said indifferently, “If you are curious, you can open the door and take a look.”

Shen Jian hurriedly shook his head and said, “No, no, no, I’m not curious. There’s no need to open the door.” What a joke. It would be fine if he looked through the door, but if he opened the door and something really happened outside, wouldn’t that be the end of him?

Su Meng saw that Shen Jian did not open the door, so she personally walked to the door to open it. This action of hers immediately frightened Wen Le and Shen Jian, and the two of them stopped her together.

“Master!”

“Boss!”

Su Meng moved very quickly and opened the door before the two of them could react. The three of them looked outside. The corridor was no different from before they came in. There was not a single person.

“Mr. Wen, don’t worry. The one who has been pestering you is not going to come out now.” Su Meng comforted him. Just as Wen Le’s expression was a little relaxed… Su Meng continued, “Usually, this kind of activity is at night, so you have to be careful at night.”

Wen Le: “…”

Shen Jian: “…”

Sure enough, his boss did not disappoint him.

Wen Le pursed his lips. Seeing that he was about to cry, Su Meng frowned. She said coldly, “Mr. Wen, I know you’re scared, but you have to know that you called us here to help you solve your problem, not to see that you’re scared. You keep changing the topic, but you won’t tell us what happened. How can I help you?”

Shen Jian echoed from the side, “That’s right, Mr. Wen. Hurry up and tell us what happened so that we can help you think of a way to solve it.”

“Master, I’ve heard about you. I know that you’re very powerful. However, this matter of mine is not normal. Please sit down first. I’ll pour you a glass of water and tell you slowly.”

Wen Le invited Shen Jian and Su Meng to sit down. He turned around and went to the kitchen to fetch a pot of water and poured it for the two of them.

After doing all this, he seemed to be not satisfied and asked, “Master, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?”

Su Meng frowned. She could feel that Wen Le had indeed encountered a thorny problem, but from the looks of it, he was clearly not in a hurry to let her solve it. Instead, he seemed to be stalling for time.

“There’s no need. I’m just doing my job. Mr. Wen, can you tell me what’s going on now?” Su Meng’s attitude was already a little impatient. Wen Le’s behavior was really strange. If he still didn’t say anything… If he continued to dawdle, then she wouldn’t want this order any more.

Being urged by Su Meng, Wen Le’s expression suddenly became a little awkward. He seemed to be in a dilemma for a while before he sat to the side and began to talk about the problem he had encountered.

“Master, I’m sure you already know my occupation. I’m a tomb raider, so I can be considered half a match for orthodox feng shui masters like you. But don’t worry, I’ve always followed the rules of our circle and never did anything that violated the taboo.”

“There are rules in the circle of tomb raiding? But isn’t it a taboo for you to dig up someone’s grave?” Shen Jian couldn’t help but grumble softly when he heard Wen Le’s words.

When Wen Le heard his words, his face instantly turned red, and he explained somewhat embarrassedly, “Mr. Shen, although you’re right, this is our job after all, so it’s inevitable. It’s because our line of work is special, so there are a lot of rules.”

“In our line of work, the biggest taboo is not to respect the dead and to be arrogant and not listen to advice. Every time I go to a grave robbery, I will strictly follow the rules. But last time, half a month ago, I encountered a strange thing after I went down.”
