Chapter 97: The Orphan Girl from the Mountains Being Sacrificed to the Mountain God
Lu Shenghan returned to the hotel dripping wet and full of anger, his face so dark that ink could drip out.
Seeing him in such a mess, the lobby manager quickly stepped forward and asked, "Boss Lu, what happened? Xiao He, quickly get Boss Lu a bath towel!"
Xiao He hurriedly handed over the towel.
Lu Shenghan didn't stop, grabbed the bath towel, wiped it casually and threw it on the ground.
Xiao He paused, picked it up with a smile, and complained wildly in his heart.
What kind of overbearing CEO role is this?
Can't you return the bath towel properly?
You have to throw it away. Are you treating the front desk as an inferior?
The lobby manager saw that Lu Shenghan was in a bad mood, so he trotted over to press the elevator button for him and asked, "Mr. Lu, is there anything I can help you with? Do you need…"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lu Shenghan's eyes.
It was dark and eerie, as if it wanted to eat him.
The lobby manager's blood froze at the sight.
It was not until Lu Shenghan got into the elevator that he suddenly came back to his senses and gasped.
What's wrong with Mr. Lu today? He's so scary.
After returning to the room, Lu Shenghan went straight to the bathroom.
"Whoosh-"
The shower was turned on and hot steam filled the air.
Soon, a layer of fine water vapor appeared on the transparent glass door, making it impossible to see the scene inside.
The next second, a big hand pressed on the glass.
The joints of the hand gradually became thicker, and sharp nails grew on the fingertips, like the claws of a wild beast.
Then, a suppressed low hum came from the bathroom.

Lu Shengmin is a bit boring.
Li Xiaoya went back home for something and there was no one to accompany her.
She really doesn't want to care about people in the circle. They either talk about clothes, bags, shoes, or celebrity gossip, which is too boring.
That little secretary is quite interesting. I quite enjoyed chatting with her these past two days, but today I suddenly turned cold towards her.
unhappy.
Lu Shengmin looked at the time and thought that she and her brother should be back.
Hey, go play with her.
But which room was she in?
Then Lu Shengmin went to room 1208 to find Lu Shenghan first. Her brother must know which room the secretary was in.
Surprisingly, the door of 1208 was not closed.
She opened the door and went in.
There was no movement in the room, and it seemed that no one was there.
"You are so old, but you don't even close the door when you go out."
She put down her bag and looked from room to room while muttering, "If there are any confidential documents, they must have been stolen."
When she reached the bathroom door, she suddenly felt something under her feet. She bent down to pick it up and saw that it was a sapphire cufflink.
On her brother's shirt.
Lu Shengmin frowned. How could the cufflinks fall off? !
You know, his brother's clothes were specially delivered by the butler, and each set was carefully checked to ensure that there were no problems and that it was in line with business etiquette.
Not to mention loose buttons, even if there are multiple threads, the housekeeper won’t deliver it.
Then this...
Suddenly, she felt a chill on the back of her neck.
She inexplicably felt that there was something horrible and bloodthirsty behind her, staring at her, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
For a moment, Lu Shengmin's hair stood on end.
She didn't dare to move, she held her breath, pinched the cufflinks in her hand, her eyes wide open with fear.
"What are you doing here?"
A cool sound was heard behind me.
Geek!
Lu Shengmin's heart skipped a beat and he turned back suddenly.
"elder brother?!"
Lu Shenghan had no expression on his face: "What's wrong?"
Lu Shengmin breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, patted his chest and said, "You scared me to death. You ran behind someone silently and suddenly spoke. It would scare people to death."
Lu Shenghan asked her: "When did you come in?"
"Just...just now. Where have you been? The door was not even closed."
Lu Shenghan said casually: "Change clothes in the cloakroom."
"Okay, next time, be more careful so that you don't miss a thief."
"Well, what do you want to see me about?"
Lu Shengmin scratched his forehead and quietly wiped away the cold sweat that kept oozing out.
"Nothing, I was just passing by and saw your door was open so I came in to take a look. If you were still here I would have gone home."
Lu Shenghan nodded.
Lu Shengmin walked outside.
The moment he turned around, his casual and natural expression quickly disappeared, and his face became expressionless.
But the fear in her eyes revealed her inner unrest.
Is this... her brother? !
"Xiao Min?"
The thing that looked exactly like her brother was talking again.
Lu Shengmin's hand stopped when it touched the door, his wooden expression suddenly shattered, and he almost cried.
He forced himself to steady his tone and asked without turning his head, "What's wrong?"
Behind me, the sound of footsteps slowly approached, like a hunting beast approaching its prey.
Lu Shengmin felt like his heart couldn't hold on any longer.
The subtle footsteps finally stopped, and a familiar voice sounded in her ears.
"You're so careless. You forgot to take your bag."
Lu Shengmin moved his eyes, glanced to the side, and quickly took the bag.
"Thank you, bro. I'm leaving now."
He quickly rushed out and slammed the door.
Lu Shenghan looked at Lu Shengmin who was running out as if he was being chased by a ghost and sneered contemptuously.
"It's no use!"
Turned and went to the bedroom.
As he walked, his bathrobe fluttered.
Revealing the weird animal hairy legs underneath.

Su Yi, Bai Xiu and the other two stayed at a villager's home for one night and returned to the hotel the next morning.
After such a mess with Lu Shenghan, I definitely can’t do my job as a secretary anymore.
But it is necessary to come back and check the situation.
As soon as I entered the hotel, I felt the atmosphere was a bit weird.
The staff in the hall looked at them with evasive eyes, showing curiosity, inquiry, and a hint of fear.
Bai Xiu secretly pinched Su Yi's fingers and motioned her to look at the corner.
A man in a baseball cap was taking secret photos of them.
Su Yi didn't care. After a moment's hesitation, he walked to the front desk.
"I left my room card in the room. Can you open the door for me? Room 1123."
Xiao He paused, then slowly looked up at the gossip video, which showed a woman who could cast magic spells, command fox spirits, and was revealed by insiders to be possessed by a fox spirit.
Swallowing nervously.
Fox demon!
Will he take the opportunity to eat her?!
"This……"
"Excuse me, Xiao He." Su Yi pulled Bai Xiu over and winked at her, "I know you like Bai Xiu, let him take a photo with you later."
Toolman Bai Xiu: ...
Xiao He glanced at Bai Xiu and smiled until his eyes narrowed into slits: "Okay, wait a moment, I'll get a key."
It was only after he went upstairs, opened the door, and was invited into the room by Su Yi that Xiao He suddenly realized.
Into the fox's den!
He said calmly, "The door is open. I'll go down first." Then he turned and left.
I was screaming madly in my heart: Manager, come and save me!
"You seem to be suddenly very scared of me, why? We have lived together for so long, we all know each other." Su Yi held her hand and stopped her from leaving, "Bai Xiu, come here, I'll take a photo of you and Xiao He."
Toolman Bai Xiu: e=(′o`*))) Alas
He walked up obediently, stood next to Xiao He, and made a scissors hand gesture.
Xiao He raised his hand stupidly and made a heart shape with his hands.
Then Su added Xiao He as a friend and sent the photos to her.
Then, Xiao He vividly acted out when Lu Shenghan came back, how he looked wet, how he had a gloomy expression, and how he threw the bath towel she handed him.
He also showed Su Yi a video that had gone viral online.
"Hey, it's this video. It's gone viral online. Everyone is saying that Sister Xue, you are possessed by a fox demon."
The video is a compilation of edits.
The first half is a scene at the opening ceremony, where the foxes listen to her and come forward to eat the feast, and nod to her after eating.
the second half.
This is the photo taken in Xiaoya Village.
First there was a 2-second shot of a small stone deeply embedded in a tree trunk.
Picture everything.
It was the scene where she threw the stone.
