After everyoneâs communication devices were reconnected to the internet, the three elderly people sitting in the back row didnât tell their friends or relatives what happened, nor did they post it to Moments, nor did they secretly take a photo of Su Zimo after putting his sunglasses on like the other passengers.
The first thing the three elderly people did was take out their phones to search for the name of the road they were on at the time, and then they couldnât help but scream.
After they were asked what happened, the three elders told them that five buses had gone missing where they were driving at the moment.
If they hadnât met Su Zimo, maybe the number of buses missing would have increased to six.

The passengersâ eyes became more complicated at they stared at Su Zimo. They knew that Su Zimoâs abilities could control malicious spirits, so they were grateful yet didnât dare to get too close. After being told that he didnât want any records of his presence, several of the originally curious passengers obediently deleted the photos from their phones.
The passengersâ attitudes toward Su Zimo had changed a lot. Another big change was that the praised ex-champion Liu Qi was now being completely ignored.
Liu Qiâs subordinates didnât hate him or judge his earlier performance. After all, they made their choices in the beginning. Liu Qiâs fearful state at the end was a natural reaction when people were trying to survive.
When they squeezed into the bus, all of them were embarrassed.
But even if they kept telling themselves it was normal, whenever they remembered the Liu Qi from before, they could no longer speak the easy flattery that they could before.
Embarrassing, so embarrassing.
Whatâs worse is that Liu Qi would still be their boss in the future, so they could only sit in their seats like everything was normal and pretend nothing had happened.
Even Qiu Qiu, the department flower, couldnât change her seat and could only sit opposite Liu Qi in an embarrassed manner.
Recalling how the other had pushed her to the muddy ground before, how could Qiu Qiu not be embarrassed?
The driver successfully drove the bus to the national highway. Since the sky was normal and the busy lights outside were clearly visible, the driver opened the partition leading to the second floor.
Then Liu Qiâs subordinates made excuses to go see the scenery from the second floor as if they were fleeing, leaving just Liu Qi sitting in his seat with an ugly expression.
Although Liu Qi didnât lose any property or ghost tools on the trip, a strong feeling of stubbornness lingered within him.
Itâs quite strange. It seems that many customers who deal with An Yu Yi Yu feel wronged. Itâs clear that Su Zimoâs attitude and An Yu Yi Yuâs service should be satisfying to customers.
It was really puzzling.
The next few hours of the journey were calm and peaceful. The passengers sitting near Su ZImo were quiet other than their communication devices. Only the ghost umbrella guarding Su Zimo would release an embarrassed hiccup occasionally, as if he was overly full.
The bus arrived smoothly at Huadu Airport. Everyone made their originally scheduled flights or caught the next one. Huadu City felt like spring all year round with the flowers in full bloom, but the passengers didnât enjoy any of the beautiful scenery along the road.
When they exited the bus, the passengers originally wanted to say something to Su Zimo, but when they turned back, he was nowhere to be found.
Liu Qi and the others from his department cancelled their next trip. Everyone wanted to go home and rest, they didnât feel like team building.
The tall woman seemed to be in a rush and hurriedly left after hearing a flight reminded over the airport intercoms.
The Tight Man, who had put aside his unnecessary disguise, got consent from the three elders and accompanied them to see their children abroad. After all, for old people experiencing such things, their peace of mind comes from self-experience. They still had fear and anxiety in their hearts.
The family of three that was no longer arguing were already huddled together. The young parents held hands and walked together with their child to the airport. They were ready for a good meal.
Su Zimo already purchased a ticket to Shoushan. In a few hours, he would successfully return to Su Manor at full strength.
Along the way, Su Zimo tried to close his eyes and not think about the shop upgrade. Each time he thought of it, he couldnât help but feel tingly in anticipation. But even so, Su Zimo chose not to sneak into the shop from the airport or airplane bathroom to take a look. That seemed like it would go against tradition.
As soon as he walked out after arriving at Shoushan Airport, Su Zimo saw the housekeeper, Mu Feng, along with Ye Ning, who had been promoted to housekeeperâs assistant. They were waiting outside for him, and behind them was a Su family car.
From Mu Fengâs words, Su Zimo learned that his cousin Su Zixiang would return in three days, just in time for the Su family dinner. Another important thing was that the day when Mu Feng and the others would enter the twentieth nightmare world was getting closer and closer.
The twentieth nightmare world, what exactly is it?
Although Su Zimo had his suspicions, the most important thing for him was to return to An Yu Yi Yu and take a look.
Arriving in Shoushan, Su Zimo learned that Su Hewen was still at the company. Although his father and second uncle were both home, they didnât know why he was in such a hurry as Su Zimo went to the second floor and directly opened the door to An Yu Yi Yu.
When Su Zimo backed into An Yi Yu Yi, he turned around and⊠he began to wonder if he had gone to the wrong place.
[This is much more pleasing to the eye.] After seeing the upgraded shop, the ghost umbrella floating behind Su Zimo nodded reluctantly. [It looks a bit like before.]
Su Zimo didnât care much about Ghost Umbrellaâs words. He was shocked by the shop before him.
In the past, An Yu Yi Yu was only fifty or sixty square meters. The entire shop only had two shelves, a counter with cabinets against the wall, three doors, and a set of tables and chairs that Su Zimo brought from home.
The most impressive thing was the Shouhua gardens on either side of the shop door.
But now, the area within the shop was at least⊠three times larger! The ceiling was so high that it looked like the lobby of some luxury hotel. It even had the same kind of crystal chandelier. The shop was as bright as day, but the light wasnât blinding.
In addition, Su Zimo also saw an upward staircase next to the side door!
The shop gained an extra second floor!
Su Zimo glanced around the first floor of An Yu Yi Yu that had changed drastically once more. He found that the two pitiful shelves had disappeared. The entire left side wall had transformed into a delicate white wooden lattice, and each hole in the lattice had a small glass door.
The goods that Su Zimo had originally placed on the second shelf had been placed into the different sized lattice holes on the wall of cabinets.
What impressed Su Zimo the most was that the lattice seemed to have hidden rollers and mechanisms that couldnât be seen without observing closely. Just like Huarong Dao <sup>1</sup>
, they could move up and down and left and right in front of Su Zimo. If it werenât for the fact that most of the lattice was empty, Su Zimo would be able to see the full wall of merchandise while standing still.
