than anything in the scenic area. Standing before the Temple of King Yama, my breathing quickened involuntarily. The grandeur and solemnity of it all left me breathless.All around me were ghost attend...Are the family members anxious My brother hasn't been this homesick before.
Could it be that he was a little anxious after hearing Xu Yaqi impersonating Lin Yanqin's voice
Although Lin Yanqin was under tight protection, she was still an outsider and often found herself vulnerable.
I told Mu Wanchen that we needed to go home quickly. Mu Wanchen twitched the corner of his mouth: "Your husband beat this place into ruins and just walked away"
“…Well, he helped you too, don't be so stingy! Anyway, there are no people left in this village. The dead have passed away. You guys send some people from the Wuzhuang Mountain City to station here and get those mountain herbs growing again…” I looked around a little nervously.
Although Jiang Qiyun and Ji Duo tried their best to keep their cool and not lose their rationality while fighting, the sight of these two esteemed deities clashing was extraordinary. The surrounding mountains even cracked open as a result.
Mu Wanchen let out a sigh and shook his head. "I'll send you out in a little while, but you have to walk a very long mountain road to get cell phone signal. You can only communicate with the outside world then... Let me get you some dry food."
As people accustomed to urban life, we find it incredibly difficult to adjust to walking in the wilderness.
Shen Qingrui brought the Shen family disciples with me. I secretly decided that after we went outside, I would summon Bai Wu Chang to set a curse on their minds.
My brother complained all the way that this trip was a huge loss. The rental car broke down in that village, and the 200,000 yuan deposit we paid to the rental company definitely won't be returned.
And we haven't done business for a long time. Although I have quite a bit of money on hand, my daily expenses are also very high. This won't work at all.
After arriving in the capital, we've been busy with everything else and our business has completely fallen by the wayside.
Shen Qingrui heard these words and replied in a low voice, "The Shen family isn't short of money. How much is needed doesn't depend on your say-so."
"I have no intention of using the Shen family's money." I glanced at her, catching a fleeting look of displeasure on her face.
This person still has some feelings for the Shen family. She used to be a plant with only one spirit, only knowing obedience and not understanding human emotions. After being reborn as a human, she started to understand these things.
After all, I am only managing the Shen family. There are countless things here that reflect Old Madam Shen's painstaking efforts – she is worried that Shen Qingrui will anger me and lead to the Shen family being pushed to the brink of ruin, until it completely collapses.
Why don't we make a bold decision, hand over the Shen family to me, and let me protect them for my mother's sake until...
Until Shen Qingrui completely accepted the idea that "she was alone" .
The journey back was too hard. We finally walked out of the deep mountains and forests to a place with signal and contacted home. Shen Qingru and the others' luggage was all destroyed, and without ID cards, they couldn't take airplanes or high-speed trains.
I had no choice but to give some money to Shen Qingrui so they could take a car back for a long journey to get their documents sorted out.
And my brother and I rushed back to the Imperial Capital non-stop.
Lin Yanhuan scolded me over the phone, saying that I had been gone for days and all the appointment documents were approved, yet I was absent. In the end, it was him who took Shen's family manager and Lao Suo to handle the relevant procedures for me.
I can only keep saying sorry, and deeply reflect on myself for not reporting my itinerary in detail and not returning to check in on time.
Lin Yanhuan couldn't help but laugh: “Alright, you know the organization's requirements are strict. Just make sure to report your itinerary next time and don’t let the organization track your whereabouts... I'm serious, not joking.”
“...Yes.”
My brother was munching on chips, leaning against the door frame watching me make a call in the corridor. He chuckled, "Wow, my little Qiao is now a special consultant! Hmm, that old man Situ's vacant seat will be yours soon, right Hmm, I'll have something to brag about when I do business then."
He had just finished speaking when his phone in his pocket vibrated. He pulled it out, and my brother's face turned dark.
Needless to say, I guessed who it was.
That handsome young man, Shao Yihang, the CEO Shao!
Besides him, who else could make my brother's face fall just by seeing their phone number
"Go ahead and answer it. Maybe they have business that concerns you." I said with a hint of schadenfreude.
My brother twitched the corner of his mouth, Shao Yihang's call must be trouble.
Shao Yihang is also a shrewd person. Although he has had several contacts with us, when nothing happens, he still maintains a distance from us.
That way, everyone can conduct business in an open and transparent manner.
When my brother was taking a phone call, Da Bao and Lao Su went out to buy vegetables and came back. Grandma stood at the door and told Lao Su to steam the vegetables and mash them into a puree.
Such a lively yet ordinary life makes me feel more at peace and content than any form of cultivation or esoteric practice.
"Xiao Qiao, Mr. Shao is introducing us to a job, he said someone in his family died and it's costing millions to handle, do we take it" My brother asked me over the phone.
I raised an eyebrow. "Take it, why wouldn't you Two more seven-figure sums and we'll have the startup capital."
Shao Yihang finding us definitely isn't for good, that doesn't need any doubt.
When he came to pick us up, my brother had just sent Lin Yanqin home. Shao Yihang smirked at my brother and said, "Not bad, son-in-law! Miss Lin likes you so much, take good care of me in the future!"
My older brother glared at him and pulled me into the back seat of the car.
He briefly told us about what happened in the car: "I have a friend, married, no kids, his wife jumped out of a building a few days ago and is gone."
"Need I say more, this plot is too over-the-top! He's worried his wife will come back from the dead in seven days to get revenge on San'er, isn't he" My brother scoffed dismissively.
"Hmph... almost. You should ask around when you get there, and you'll probably understand the truth... hehe..." Shao Yihang smiled in a rather eerie way.
"Really that simple" I looked at Shao Yihang's side profile with suspicion. He was smiling, and there was a hint of mystery in his smile.
“I told Shao Zong, our family is planning to try and clear our name now. In the future, please don't introduce any difficult matters to us… I’m thinking of just looking at the sunny side of things from now on, facing the darkness is too tiring. Maybe it’s better to look at the feng shui based on the direction the mountain faces.” I reminded him.
"Heh heh, this dog blood drama doesn't follow the usual path, it's very peculiar. You guys go and see for yourselves."
He drove the car into a high-end residential area. I saw that one building had been cordoned off with caution tape and security guards were patrolling nearby.
"His wife died here"upreme magical powers..." He lowered his eyes to look at me, his gaze becoming somewhat erratic.For a moment, I seemed to see a sinister, gaunt figure.“…What do you really want” I frowned. “If you’re...
