Chapter 221: Dig and Dig

　　Dog teeth are inherently capable of warding off evil.

　　And Little Black is a Five-Black Spirit Dog.

　　With one bite, a deep tooth mark was left on Dong Shanhai's arm.

　　But the effect was immediate. Following this, Dong Shanhai let out a loud cry and painfully opened his eyes.

　　His entire body was trembling.

　　His fingers, arms, and head all ached with excruciating pain.

　　His whole body contorted in agony.

　　"Brother Dong, you're finally awake!" Hu Guidong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

　　Dong Shanhai's face was deathly pale, his clothes drenched in cold sweat, and it took him a while to catch his breath.

　　His lips quivered as he said, "Pain... I'm in pain all over..."

　　"Dong Ge, the pain is no big deal. You were trapped by an evil spirit. If it weren't for Manager Lu finding a way to save you, you wouldn't have woken up." Hu Guidong comforted him.

　　"Save me?" Dong Shanhai saw the bite marks on his arm and his face turned even uglier, "Letting a dog bite me, was that supposed to save me?"

　　"Dong Ge, you really need to thank my dog! If it weren't for it, none of us would have been able to wake you up." Lu Fei held the small black dog, speaking with a serious expression.

　　The small black dog raised its fluffy head, looking quite proud.

　　Dong Shanhai felt a tightness in his chest, gritted his teeth, and held back his anger, asking, "Then what about the blood jade..."

　　"It's not ready yet, Boss Dong. You couldn't resist the temptation of the evil spirit, so the blood jade is still the same! Speaking of which, what did you dream about this time?"

　　Dong Shanhai looked at his bloody fingers, his eyes filled with fear, and said, "I dreamed that I was trapped in a cave, digging non-stop. My hands bled, but I couldn't get out."

　　"Looks like that was the obsession of the evil spirit," Lu Fei mused.

　　Perhaps, there are other ways to resolve the grudge of the blood jade.

　　"Manager Lu, why is my hand like this? None of the workers have this, and don't I have the amulet of safety?" Dong Shanhai lamented, utterly perplexed.

　　A glint of schadenfreude flashed in Lu Fei's eyes.

　　The evil spirit was sent into the cave as an offering by the people of Huang Family Village, and he was wearing the badge of Huang Family Village while dreaming. If not him, who else would be so unlucky?

　　But Lu Fei wouldn't say it out loud.

　　"Who knows, but it's definitely better to wear it. If you want to completely resolve the blood jade, you have to continue entering the dream."

　　"Continue?" Dong Shanhai was truly scared.

　　He didn't want to experience that feeling of despair and the pain of his fingers being mangled a second time.

　　"Boss Dong, once an evil entity has its eyes on you, you won't rest until it's over, unless you never sleep again. Otherwise, you could just destroy the blood jade and be done with it!" Lu Fei shrugged.

　　"If I destroy the blood jade now, wouldn't all my suffering be in vain?" Dong Shanhai was on the verge of tears, "Manager Lu, is there no other way?"

　　"No." Lu Fei spread his hands.

　　"Really no?"

　　Looking at Lu Fei's half-smiling, half-serious eyes, Dong Shanhai had great suspicions, but he couldn't find any evidence.

　　"Boss Dong, rest assured, with Little Black here, you won't die!" Lu Fei gently patted the black puppy's head.

　　"Woof woof!"

　　The black puppy barked loudly.

　　Dong Shanhai felt a searing pain from the bite mark on his arm again.

　　"Brother Dong, why don't we just give up?" Hu Guidong advised sympathetically, "Is it worth suffering so much for a piece of jade?"

　　Dong Shanhai fell silent, his expression constantly changing.

　　The pain kept stimulating his nerves, but even at this point, he was still reluctant to give up.

　　This wasn't an ordinary piece of jade; it was an opportunity for him to become truly successful!

　　"I'll try one more time!"

　　Dong Shanhai gritted his teeth and said.

　　Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Hu Guidong shook his head and said no more.

　　"This time, I will not be tempted!"

　　Dong Shanhai took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

　　A few seconds later.

　　He fell back into a deep sleep.

　　However.

　　In less than a minute, his breathing became rapid.

　　He raised his hands and started digging frantically at the air.

　　This time it was even more exaggerated; his fingernails were lifting up.

　　Huzi looked extremely pained, and whispered to Lu Fei, "Boss, he's not going to die from the pain, is he?"

　　"It won't come to that. Let him dig for a while longer."

　　Lu Fei was in no rush, and only when he saw Dong Shanhai's finger bones nearly turning inside out did he pat the small black dog.

　　The small black dog jumped onto the bed and bit hard on Dong Shanhai's other arm.

　　"Ahhh——"

　　Dong Shanhai woke up with a scream.

　　His entire body arched like a shrimp, and after spasming for a long time, he finally caught his breath.

　　"Mr. Dong, can you still hold on?" Lu Fei checked the time, a concerned look on his face, "It's still a long time until dawn!"

　　"I can't, I can't dig anymore, I really can't..."

　　Dong Shanhai truly broke down in tears.

　　If he digs any further, his fingers will break.

　　Bite marks cover both of his arms, and he is covered in blood; it's a truly pitiful sight.

　　"Manager Lu, I beg you, please think of something! I was wrong before; I shouldn't have tested you with fake goods, and I shouldn't have been disrespectful to you..."

　　He was really scared. The pain in the dream was something that couldn't be endured just by sheer willpower.

　　It was a kind of extreme suffering from the mind to the body.

　　Trapped in a pitch-dark cave, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't escape...

　　"Manager Lu, is there really no other way?" Hu Guide asked, with sympathy mixed with a hint of schadenfreude.

　　Lu Fei patted the little black dog on the head, deep in thought, and slowly spoke: "I suddenly just thought of another way."

　　Just thought of it now?

　　Let alone Dong Shanhai, even Hu Guide could see that Lu Fei had had another solution from the beginning, he just deliberately didn't mention it.

　　But Dong Shanhai did not dare to complain.

　　He had come to realize that someone like Lu Fei had a hundred ways to deal with him.

　　He even stupidly put on an act in front of the other person.

　　"Manager Lu, please speak," he said very respectfully, gritting his teeth and enduring the pain in his body.

　　"The evil spirit within this jade is fixated on escaping the cave. As long as it can escape, its resentment will naturally dissipate."

　　"But in my dream, I couldn't dig open that cave no matter what I did," Dong Shanhai said anxiously.

　　"Of course you can't in the dream. What I mean is, find its remains and give them a proper burial after performing a ritual. Its remains should be right where the blood jade was dug up; it shouldn't be hard to find."

　　Lu Fei's expression was relaxed.

　　This method was indeed much simpler, and most importantly, no one had to suffer.

　　"Of course, Boss Dong, your suffering wasn't for nothing. If you hadn't dreamed of the evil spirit, I wouldn't have known its fixation or how to resolve it, right?"

　　"Yes, yes." Dong Shanhai replied bitterly, not daring to utter a single word of disagreement.

　　"Mr. Dong, let me remind you again that you cannot sleep until the bones are properly buried. Otherwise, the evil spirit will come to haunt you in your dreams at any moment."

　　Then, he put on a kind expression.

　　"But don't worry, as soon as you fall asleep, I'll have my little dog wake you up. My little dog has been vaccinated and is absolutely healthy!"

　　The small black dog grinned, revealing sharp, white puppy teeth.

　　Dong Shanhai shuddered and became even more frightened.

　　During the latter part of the night, no matter how tired and in pain he was, he didn't dare to blink his eyes, for fear of falling asleep.

　　Never in his life had he felt the night to be so long.

　　Finally, the day broke.

　　Hu Guidong immediately took the driver and bodyguards, and armed with tools, went to the place where the blood jade was dug out to search for the evil spirit's remains.
