After the high school classmate relationship ended, it was impossible for a small fry like Ye Qing to have any interactions with a proud girl like Tang Nalan. However, by coincidence, more than a year ago, Ye Qing was successfully hired and became an employee of Tang Feng Company.
Heaven knows that previously, Ye Qing had no idea that there was a person named “Tang Nalan” in the Tang Feng Company. At first, when he was eagerly looking to send his resume all over the place, he didn’t even think that he could get into Tang Feng Company, so his knowledge of the company was quite superficial.
Then, on the first day of work, he saw his “goddess”, Tang Nalan, from a distance. Ye Qing was so surprised that he forgot everything, including the fact that her last name was “Tang”.
At that moment, Ye Qing shouted in the lobby on the first floor of the company: “Tang Nalan!”
Shh!
His voice was not loud, but the lobby fell silent. A few dozen white-collar elite workers turned around and looked over, wanting to see who dared to call the president by her name.
Ye Qing, who was extremely excited, ignored everything around him, rushed to her, and said in a cracking voice: “Tang Nalan, do you remember me? I am Ye Qing, your high school classmate, who made you cry twice. Haha, I bet you must still remember me. No one could make you cry except me…”
In high school, Ye Qing’s academic performance was pretty good, but he was still the biggest troublemaker in the school. No one dared to bully him – he was the one who bullied others.
Tang Nalan had frowned and shook her head.
In fact, shaking her head was just a pretense. She also recognized Ye Qing, the “bad boy” who always liked to bully her. He was right. He was the only one who made her cry when she was a child…
“Don’t you recognize me? You must be pretending!” Ye Qing laughed and continued, “You also work at Tang Feng Company. What a coincidence, so do I! But this is my first day at work, a typical rookie…”
As he spoke, Ye Qing suddenly realized: her last name was Tang, last name Tang… Tang Feng Company, Tang’s Enterprise…
There is no need to say more about what happened next.
Tang Nalan mistakenly thought that Ye Qing must have found out that she was the president here, so he did everything he could to squeeze into Tang Feng Company. His ambition was clear. He must want to use the so-called “classmate relationship” to get “special treatment” from her.
Tang Nalan showed generosity and didn’t fire Ye Qing for this, but she always treated him coldly and never looked at him kindly. She was even colder than toward the other employees.
At the moment when he just met Tang Nalan, Ye Qing was indeed impulsive and hot-headed, but usually, he was a calm and steady man. Therefore, he guessed that Tang Nalan must have misunderstood him.
But there was no explanation for this kind of thing. He had no way to make it clear.
Take the initiative to leave the company to prove his innocence?
Was it necessary?
He hadn’t done anything wrong, so there was no need to prove anything.
Even if she was his dream lover, Ye Qing would not grovel at her feet.
He will just focus on his work and let everything take its course.
So Ye Qing stayed in Tang Feng Company and performed well, obtaining his direct boss, Song Qiaoyan’s recognition; he was also popular and had a harmonious relationship with his colleagues.
Of course, he would meet Tang Nalan from time to time in the company, but the two of them acted like strangers. Except for “President Tang” and “Hmm”, there was no other word.
Tang Nalan had a very bad impression of Ye Qing and always felt that he was too conspicuous when hanging around in the company. Later, she asked about his performance at work, but since Song Qiaoyan gave him a good evaluation, she did not target him.
……
Ye Qing arrived at the company in the middle of the day and met two women, receiving two completely different treatments: one was hot and the other was cold! However, this did not affect his mood and, as usual, he went to the beach.
Ye Qing did not need an oxygen tank for diving because he only dived in shallow waters and never went deeper than ten meters.
Diving suit, diving goggles, fins, gloves, and a life buoy with a net bag. These five items were Ye Qing’s diving equipment. He usually kept these things stored with a good buddy, whose bar was on the beach.
At sea, there was a dam with rugged rocks on the bottom of the water. You could catch crabs, and if you were lucky, you could also touch sea cucumbers. Of course, there weren’t many of them, and their sizes weren’t that big, so they weren’t worth much money. It was simply a personal hobby and a way of exercising.
After swimming and diving for about half an hour, Ye Qing had only touched a few crabs of medium size.
The sunny weather made the seabed colorful and very beautiful. Another dive into the water, and Ye Qing carefully searched the cracks in the rocks, but he didn’t find anything.
All of a sudden, a black thing fell straight from the sky.
Like a meteor or a missile, it plunged into the water, less than ten meters away from where Ye Qing was.
Boom!
Ye Qing only felt a loud noise that almost shattered his eardrums. Then, a strong undercurrent rushed towards him, blowing him out of the water more than two meters high, and then swirled him back into the sea.
His mouth felt salty, and he didn’t know whether he vomited blood or drank sea water. He was dazed and almost fainted.
If he fainted in the sea, he would most likely die. He could drown with just a mouthful of water, so Ye Qing tried his best to stay awake and struggled to reach the lifebuoy. He lay there for a long time before he recovered.
All the muscles in his body seemed to have been torn apart, and it hurt like hell!
Fortunately, there was no serious impact injury. The undercurrent had a general, wide-ranging impact, not targeting a particular part of his body.
Ye Qing had experienced this feeling once before. That time, at the swimming pool, he jumped into the water from a ten-meter-high platform. He did not grasp the angle of entry into the water and fell with his whole body almost flat onto the water surface. That feeling was almost the same as now.
“Did someone throw a bomb into the water?”
Ye Qing knew that it was impossible for someone to stupidly run to the beach to blow up fish, but he still subconsciously searched the dam carefully.
The dam was empty, without a single figure, and the sea was calm as usual.
What happened? No one was blowing up fish, so where did the explosion come from?
Feeling confused, Ye Qing floated for a long time, until his body completely recovered, and then he dived into the water again with curiosity.
As soon as he entered the water, he saw a creepy weird thing.
A hand!
A black hand, suspended three meters underwater, floating leisurely, like a ghost claw.
A dead man’s hand?
No matter how good the heat preservation of the wetsuit was, Ye Qing felt cold all over and rushed out of the water. At this moment, there was only one word in his mind: Run!
Run, flee this ghostly place! It’s so unlucky to encounter the place where a body was dumped in a murder and dismemberment case…
However, after swimming back to the lifebuoy, Ye Qing stopped.
“That pure black, it doesn’t look like a dead person’s hand, it’s more like a craft work.” Ye Qing regained his composure and carefully recalled what he saw.
People like Ye Qing, who dared to dive into the sea alone in the cold weather, were pretty brave. So, he dived back into the water again.
The black hand had a smooth surface and was translucent like black jade.
This time, Ye Qing looked carefully enough to make sure that it was definitely not a dead person’s hand.
It was a black jade left hand!
Ye Qing picked it up and swam back to the lifebuoy. Lying on the swimming ring, he looked carefully at the black jade left hand he was holding in his right hand. It was smooth all over, shining in the sun. There were four characters engraved on the palm of the hand. At a close look, it seemed to be traditional Chinese for “Heavenly Catcher”.
“It’s not heavy, and it doesn’t look like stone. No wonder it can float in the water without sinking. What material is it made of…”
Ye Qing bit the glove on his left hand and took it off, trying to feel the material through touch. Unexpectedly, as soon as he touched the black jade left hand…
It suddenly jumped and overlapped with his left hand!
Ye Qing was startled and almost cried out. He shook his left hand hard, trying to throw it away.
After shaking it twice, it was indeed gone, but Ye Qing was even more terrified.
It was not thrown away, but merged into his left hand, completely merged into it!
Ye Qing’s left hand turned a creepy dark gray, with some black spots, like the palm of a mummified corpse excavated by archaeologists he saw in TV documentaries.
“Is it a ghost possessing me?” Ye Qing thought in horror: “It’s over, damn it, I’m in big trouble now.”
