I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 514 [Misfortune #2]

Jiang Chen is nearly 35 years old. If he cannot make further progress in his career, he will be laid off sooner or later.

Fortunately, he is diligent and hardworking, and he is also quite tactful. He has a lot of high-quality client resources. After having a few meals with the head of the Human Resources Department, it is basically confirmed that he will be promoted to marketing manager next month.

Jiang Chen is very steady. He would never reveal this kind of news to anyone and he would maintain his usual state every day.

He is not married and has no girlfriend. He goes to work and home every day, but he has not saved much money because his parents and younger brother's family in his hometown need his help.

In order to support his college education, his father injured his hand while working away from home and could no longer work. His younger brother stayed in their hometown to take care of the two elders while he worked hard in the big city, so it was his duty to help them.

Jiang Chen didn't know if it was an illusion, but ever since he was sure that he would be promoted next month, he started to have bad luck.

I was driving out in the morning and was rear-ended.

He spotted a shared electric bike, but after riding it for twenty minutes it broke down in the middle of the road and he was almost hit by a car.

While walking on the road, something fell from a high altitude and hit him in front of him. After finally arriving at the company, he was trapped in the elevator again.

The water cup exploded when it was filled with hot water, he fell and almost hit a colleague who was peeling fruit, and he accidentally choked on grapes. If his office colleague hadn't used the Heimlich maneuver, he would have nearly choked to death.

This kind of thing happens every day, making Jiang Chen feel like he is in the movie "Final Destination".

Jiang Chen was in a state of tension every day, treating everything as if it were a formidable enemy, not daring to relax even a little. He didn't know the source of his sudden bad luck, and everyone looked like a 'thief' who wanted to harm him.

For several days, Jiang Chen was in a state of panic. He was on the verge of life and death many times due to bad luck. His body was inexplicably weak and he made frequent mistakes at work.

If this continues, his promotion will be in jeopardy.

Jiang Chen is the pillar of the family. He must not lose his job, and he must not have any problems.

Jiang Chen's strong desire to survive prompted him to apply for annual leave from the company. He originally planned to stay in a Taoist temple in the mountains for a week to get rid of the bad luck, but he fell on the way home and looked up to see a strange shop.

Coming out of the shop, Jiang Chen pinched the crystal bracelet on his wrist, shook his head, and continued to walk home carefully, completely unaware that there was someone following him.

Not long after he walked out, Jiang Chen's phone rang. The repair shop told him that the car had been repaired and he could pick it up at any time.

"They called to say the mechanic was ill and the tools in the factory were broken, but now everything is fixed in an instant."

Jiang Chen touched the bracelet on his wrist again and found it interesting.

Seeing a lottery shop on the street, Jiang Chen had an idea and walked straight in to buy ten scratch tickets.

After this scratch, Jiang Chen's face brightened. He won nine out of ten scratch tickets, one of which was worth two hundred yuan, and the rest were worth ten and twenty yuan. For Jiang Chen, this was a sign of good luck!
Jiang Chen felt relieved now. He threw his briefcase over his shoulder and strode home.

Qin Ze followed Jiang Chen and also bought ten scratch tickets. He scratched them while following Jiang Chen, but he didn't win a penny.

Jiang Chen had a smooth journey back. In this era of widespread electronic payment, Jiang Chen even picked up fifty yuan.

Jiang Chen lives in an old neighborhood. He bought a second-hand house. Most of the residents in the neighborhood are elderly, retired men and women.

When he arrived at the door of his house, Jiang Chen saw two bags of kitchen garbage thrown by his door. He frowned at the smell, glanced at the neighbor unhappily, picked up the garbage and put it back at the neighbor's door.

When he first moved in, he happened to meet the old lady next door who was going downstairs to throw away the garbage. The buildings in the community are basically six-story, and some buildings did not install elevators due to disagreements. He lived on the fifth floor, and seeing that the old lady was old, he said he would help her take the garbage down. From then on, the garbage from the neighboring house often appeared at his door. It became his responsibility to help the old man and woman next door to take out the garbage. If he didn't do it one day, the old lady next door would definitely scold him in her own home.

The community had poor sound insulation, so Jiang Chen could hear it clearly.

Jiang Chen returned to his home, and Qin Ze, who was following him, could only sit in the corridor and wait. The sensor light on this floor was broken, the corridor was very dark, and there was no surveillance, so he didn't need to hide.

Qin Ze can still control the corpse catcher, but he no longer has the ability to directly see hidden ghosts. He can sense some evil aura based on his experience and feeling.

The bracelet's effect lasts for three days. As long as he follows Jiang Chen for a day and sees who he contacts, Qin Ze is sure to find the source of the curse.

The corridor was dark and quiet. Qin Ze gradually heard the sound of television and voices coming from each household. Occasionally, there would be a child shouting or crying, which was quite lively.

With nothing to do, Qin Ze took out his mobile phone and continued reading.

Around ten o'clock in the evening, the iron gate next to Jiang Chen's house creaked open. An old man with a bitter face was holding a bag of garbage. When he saw the two bags of garbage in front of his own door, he sighed and shook his head. He angrily threw down the bag of garbage in his hand and closed the door while muttering.

"Young people nowadays have no love at all. They are all selfish. What did their parents teach them?"

boom!
The iron door was slammed shut, and Qin Ze trembled in shock. He then sniffed hard and smelled some strange odors. Unfortunately, the stench of kitchen garbage was too strong for him to distinguish.

Qin Ze continued to read the book. The summer night was not cold, but there were many mosquitoes. Qin Ze concentrated on reading the book, and the red water grass on his body secretly stretched out and waved to hit the mosquitoes.

Nothing happened that night. When Qin Ze heard some noise in Jiang Chen's house, he quickly left the corridor and went outside the community to have breakfast.

The snack stands outside the community were very popular and were packed with people. Qin Ze ate spicy soup with fried dough sticks while continuing to read a book on his phone.

"Young man, please give me a seat, there is no room left."

Qin Ze looked up and saw an old lady holding a bowl and standing in front of him. The old lady was dressed very gorgeously and had lipstick so bright that it looked like she had eaten someone.

Qin Ze wanted to give in, but the old lady looked him up and down with a look of contempt, which made Qin Ze feel a little uncomfortable.

"Hurry up, can't you see I'm holding the bowl?"

Qin Ze lowered his eyes and continued to eat slowly, ignoring him.

Seeing this, the aunt was furious and glared at Qin Ze fiercely, "I'll choke you to death, you uncultured person!"

The aunt went to find a seat somewhere else. Qin Ze was afraid of missing Jiang Chen, so he finished the remaining dough sticks in a few mouthfuls. When he was swallowing, he suddenly choked. Qin Ze's eyes widened immediately, and he pounded his chest hard but it didn't work. He quickly ran to a nearby store, picked up a bottle of water, unscrewed it and drank it.

After a close call, I finally swallowed the food.

Qin Ze felt incredible and looked for the figure of the old lady in the crowd.

Is this a coincidence, or is there something wrong?

I forgot to post again today...

See you tomorrow~
