Chapter 16

When I saw Wu Pizi, I noticed a faint, elusive aura of yin energy between his brows, a clear sign that he had come into contact with a ghost. I decided to give him a hint by calculating his eight characters (ba zi).

At this moment, if I were to directly tell him that he had encountered a ghost, it would surely anger the female ghost. Then, who knows what would happen during his ninth-year cycle. So, I could only indirectly get him to investigate the true identity of the female ghost.

Only when he knows for himself can I help him!

After hearing that he had encountered a ghost, Huang Yiyi couldn't help but widen her eyes. She opened her mouth to say something, but finally huffed and said, "Serves him right, scumbag, he deserves to be punished!"

However, as soon as she said this, Huang Yiyi softened and turned to me, asking, "Mr. Li, will my cousin be okay? Although he is a bit of a scumbag, my aunt only has him as a son. He may not be very outstanding, but compared to other rich second-generation kids, he is already quite excellent."

"Can you help him?"

Huang Yiyi looked at me with a pleading expression, her face full of concern for her cousin. It was clear that Huang Yiyi was the type of person who had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

I took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, let him experience it himself! Even if I were to fix it for him now, he would still have problems during his ninth-year cycle. It's better to let him handle it himself and get through this calamity."

Huang Yiyi seemed to understand, but was still very worried.

I decided to stay here, but I would move in tomorrow.

Back at the rental place, I felt quite tired, so I lay down and took a nap.

I was woken up by the ringing of my phone; it was 4:30 PM. It was a strange number, and I hesitated for a moment before answering the call.

I have a habit of not speaking first when answering a call from a stranger unless they speak first.

However, after I answered the call, the person on the other end didn't speak immediately.

"Hello! Who are you looking for?" After waiting for over ten seconds, I spoke first.

The call was a bit strange; it didn't hang up, and no one spoke. I could almost feel that this wasn't a prank call.

Finally, after I spoke, a heavy breathing sound came from the other end, followed by a deep, dark voice, "It was you who broke my feng shui array?"

Thump!

It was him! The person who set up the feng shui array for the Huang family. He finally took the initiative to contact me.

I quickly sat up in bed and replied seriously, "It was me! Who are you?"

Seeing that I admitted it, the person on the other end didn't waste any words!

"See me at Longfeng Hall at 6 PM! I will only meet you alone."

The call ended right there!

I looked at my phone, wondering whether to call the Huang family. After some thought, I decided not to call them and to go check it out myself. If I called, Huang Baiwan might do something unpredictable.

At 6 PM, I went to Longfeng Hall as agreed.

Longfeng Hall is a Chinese restaurant with a unique style. There were beautiful receptionists dressed in ethnic minority clothing at the entrance. As I walked in, several receptionists bowed 90 degrees and welcomed me.

To be honest, this reception made me feel a bit overwhelmed.

I walked straight in and scanned the restaurant with my peripheral vision.

Soon, my gaze locked onto a man wearing a hat and a coat sitting by the window. The man had his back to me, but I could see a dark aura emanating from him.

It was him!

Without hesitation, I walked straight to him. As I approached, he lifted his head and looked at me.

Just one glance, and I felt a tingling sensation on my scalp.

The man's face was deathly pale, with no blood color, and his eyes were bloodshot. He was dressed in black, which made his deathly pale face even more noticeable.

To be honest, if this person hadn't just looked at me, I would have thought he was a corpse! He looked to be in his forties, with a mole the size of a thumb on his face, and his appearance was indeed eerie.

"Sit!" The man pointed to the chair opposite me and said in a harsh tone.

I swallowed hard and sat down opposite him.

The man's eyes continued to scrutinize me, and he muttered, "I never thought that after all my years of experience, I would be defeated by a young kid like you. What a sigh."

Hearing him say so much, I wasn't as afraid anymore!

Perhaps it was because he had dealt with too many dead people and done too many evil deeds that he had become like this!

"Why do you have such a grudge against the Huang family? Why did you use such feng shui to harm them?" I stared into his eyes, hoping to intimidate him with my gaze and see through him.

But I was still too young, and he was a seasoned veteran.

He chuckled coldly, "Money talks, and I do the job! Tell me, how much did the Huang family pay you to break my feng shui array? I'll give you double, and you stay out of this."

"Money?" I laughed coldly, "Is learning this skill just for making money?"

The person in front of me was hired by someone; he wasn't the mastermind behind the harm to the Huang family.

"If not for money, then why?" The man laughed as if he had heard a joke.

I gritted my teeth and said, "Money can do a lot, but it's not everything! For example, it can't buy your life! It can't buy your peace and normalcy."

The man laughed coldly, "I'll give you five million, and you stay out of this!"

Five million!

It was indeed a staggering amount, but I didn't think this money was enough to sway my principles. To be precise, no amount of money could sway my principles. The Huang family's matter was something my grandfather had specifically asked me to handle, and I was determined to see it through.

I looked the man in the eye firmly and said, "I'll give you a piece of advice: if you want to live, tell me who is harming the Huang family."

My attitude was very firm!

The man's expression stiffened. He didn't answer me but suddenly grabbed my hand.

Instantly, a cold chill ran through my body. This hand had no warmth.

Before I could react, he suddenly stood up from the chair and fell to the ground with a thud.

I was completely taken aback by what happened, and I saw a waitress rush over.

"Sir, sir, are you okay? Are you alright?" She shook the man, and suddenly let out a scream.

Then, she pointed at the man in terror and said, "Dead, dead, he's dead! He's dead!"
