Eroge: I can Travel To The Ancient World-Chapter 281: Land Spirit’s Curse

" First, Let me help you, Uncle Lin." Jia Hao smiled as he unwrapped Lin Cheng's bandages.

" Our company has developed a new type of medicine. I believe it will help your wound."

" Huh?"

Lin Cheng was surprised, but he stayed still. Jia Hao took out the essence of the Minor Healing Pill he got from the Yunlan Continent and used it on the wound of Lin Cheng.

" Ugh? Ouch! OUCH! OUCCHH!"

Lin Cheng cried out as he felt a jolt of current through his body, his wounds felt like they were burning.

" Endure it a bit, Uncle Lin. You will see the results soon." Jia Hao sat beside him as he looked at Lin Cheng.

Soon enough, Lin Cheng felt a cooling sensation as the pain in his body slowly reduced. With suspicion, he tried to move his arm and realized he could now move it freely.

" Th-This…Although there is still a bit of cramp, I…I can move my arm!" Lin Cheng was shocked. " My wounds are healed!"

" Wait, You are the owner of Lianshan Corporation?"

Jia Hao was mildly surprised. " Haha, Why do you think, Uncle Lin? Has the Lianshan Corporation become this famous?"

" Famous? Hah! I know what's going on in the pharmaceutical market and it's in complete uproar." Lin Cheng laughed. " The Lianshan Corporation's Skin Rebirth Cream almost wiped out other cosmetic creams in the market."

" And not to mention, that Lesser Rejuvenation Pill has already become a hot topic among the upper circle. Damn, even I want to have one!"

Shaking his head, Jia Hao assured Lin Cheng. " Uncle Lin, Don't worry. I will personally send you good quality medicine. But first, we need to solve the situation at hand."

" So, when you bought the land for construction, was there any anomaly?"

Lin Cheng thought for a moment before nodding. " I heard there was a mass grave around the site. But I only knew about it after the seller sold me the land."

" But I bought it like, three years ago? Nothing happened to me till now! I didn't believe in any superstitions till…" Lin Cheng became silent.

Jia Hao looked at Lin Cheng with his Sage's Divine Eyes and found his recent future point.

[ Seven days later, Lin Cheng's soul will be attacked by a malevolent spirit, causing his demise]

' Tch, This situation is troublesome.' Jia Hao muttered inwardly as he focused on the dark aura surrounding Lin Chen's forehead.

[ Land Spirit's Curse: Cursing the fengshui of the land to curse the owner with misfortune and death]

" Someone is really trying to kill you, Uncle Lin." Jia Hao spoke in a serious voice. " For now, Don't reveal to anyone that you have been healed. We will slowly bait the mastermind with this."

" You are right." Lin Cheng nodded. " But what should we do next? I don't know who is behind this."

" Don't worry." Jia Hao pondered for a moment before speaking. " If your death brings profit to the culprit, he won't miss the chance when you are injured like this."

Not long after, a soft knock interrupted their conversation. Lin Cheng hurriedly got on the bed and put on the oxygen mask, pretending to be heavily injured.

" President Lin, It's me."

" Ke Xiao? Come in." Lin Cheng realized it was his secretary as he called him inside.

" President Lin, Are you alright?"

Jia Hao shook his head. " Although he has regained his consciousness, he is still in critical condition. However, he can still respond with some gestures."

Ke Xiao looked at Jia Hao and nodded. He already knew that Jia Hao was a friend of Lin Mei and also trusted by Lin Cheng.

" First, It's another bad news." Ke Xiao spoke with an ugly expression. " The workers have refused to work there, saying the place is haunted. There have been two more accidents and one worker has been killed."

" I have already surrounded the place with our men, the news won't go to the media. However, the rumors about our projects are already spread."

" Our investors already called me, saying they will withdraw investment if things go like this."

Jia Hao's eyes squinted when he heard that. " Secretary Ke, Imagine this project fails. How much loss Lin Constructions would bear?"

" Loss? You better call it a critical blow." Ke Xiao shook his head. " If this project fails, we will face a whopping loss of seven billion yuans."

" Not to mention, even if we try to opt for insurance, it will barely cover a third of our cost."

" Alright, You don't need to worry, Secretary Ke. I will handle it." Jia Hao nodded. " Any other problem?"

" Uhhh, It's about Miss Cui." Ke Xiao spoke in an odd voice. Lin Cheng's face twitched as he wanted to say something, but Jia Hao dismissed it.

" Uncle Lin has given his approval, you may speak."

" It's nothing serious. It's just that Madame Cui is angry because you didn't meet her. But I have told her the situation and she is worried."

" Miss Cui is the leader of the HR Department." Ke Xiao informed Jia Hao.

" You mean Uncle Lin and Miss Cui…" Jia Hao raised his brows.

" Mmmphg!"

Lin Cheng wanted to sit and shout at Ke Xiao, but since he was pretending to be injured, he could only watch helplessly.

" Tsk Tsk, I understand, Uncle Lin." Jia Hao spoke with a coy smile. " You are the CEO of such a big company. You do have some special privileges."

" Heh, Miss Cui is also able to climb fast in the company thanks to Boss Lin." Ke Xiao also couldn't help but jump into the joke. But he shut his mouth when he saw Lin Cheng's glare.

" Anyway, I have reported everything I had to. I believe I should return." Ke Xiao coughed lightly.

" Secretary Ke, How about you take me to the construction site tomorrow? I will see the situation myself."

" Very well, I will call you tomorrow." Ke Xiao nodded.

Coming outside, Jia Hao saw Lin Mei sitting with an anxious face.

" Jia Hao! What did Dad say to you?" Lin Mei hurriedly asked.

" Lin Mei, Don't worry. Uncle Lin is ok now." Jia Hao whispered in her ear. " It's just that he is going to pretend his injuries for a while."

" This…Are you telling the truth?" Lin Mei was shocked as she rushed inside the ward. After a few minutes, she came outside and hugged Jia Hao.

" Hmph, Rascal, How did you achieve it?" Lin Mei spoke in a soft voice. " I saw his wounds, it was pretty severe. But now, it's healed!"

" Well, A magician never reveals his secrets." Jia Hao held Lin Mei's waist as he kissed her neck. " Mm, Quite a perfume."

" Hmph, Let me go. People are watching." Lin Mei complained softly, though there was no real resolve behind her protest.

Jia Hao let her go as he patted her head." Don't worry, I will solve the situation soon."

" Mhm, Let's go somewhere tomorrow." Lin Mei proposed. " After all, a couple should spend some time together, ye?"

" Well, I will check the schedule then." Jia Hao kissed the lips of Lin Mei. " Now you should go back and rest, alright?"

" Hmhm, As you say."

" Heyoooo! I am back!"

" Hao'er!"

Su Yunqi looked at Jia Hao as she rushed to her. " You have returned."

" Hehe, Mother, Did you miss me?"

Su Yunqi ruffled Jia Hao's hair. " Silly boy, Of course, I missed you. Don't just run off somewhere and cut off contact, ok?"

Su Xing'er shouted from behind. " Hmph! You are just caring too much, Mom. He was probably dangling with some girl."

" Don't worry, Xing'er. From now on, I will dangle with you." Jia Hao grinned.

" Alright, Enough chit chat." Su Yunqi turned around. " Come and eat the dishes I have prepared."

" Hehe, Thanks, Mother." Jia Hao grinned. " Also, I have bought a lot of presents for you."
