The rich tended to believe in things like metaphysics, so they showed feng shui masters considerable respect.
With this new identity, Ye Chen's standing in Suhang rose another level, and people respectfully addressed him as Master Ye!
And when it came to feng shui, he really did know a thing or two.
After all, he was the darling of that brainless wish-fulfillment author. He knew everything—he was practically written with five wisdom roots.
"How should I expose that bastard?"
Tang Yu pondered the matter as he drove.
Following the principle of keeping a low profile whenever possible, confronting him and exposing him to his face was out of the question.
After thinking it over, Tang Yu could only find some way to inform the Qin Family in private.
As soon as Tang Yu left, Wang Yixue turned to the Wang Family members.
"Elders, please gather at the Wang Family ancestral hall. There's something I'd like to tell everyone."
"What is it, Xiaoxue? What do you need us at the ancestral hall for?"
An old man with a head of white hair asked in a hoarse voice.
Whenever a family gathered at its ancestral hall, it meant some major announcement was coming.
Everyone's eyes turned toward Wang Yixue.
Wang Rulong, with a guilty conscience, grew nervous too.
He truly hadn't expected Jiang Xiaoyue to cure Grandpa's illness.
Hadn't she said before that she couldn't?
Now Wang Yixue was calling everyone to the ancestral hall. Had she discovered that someone had tampered with Grandpa?
Still, he wasn't too worried. He had no fear that his identity would be exposed.
The method Young Master Ye had taught him for planting the Gu was extremely well hidden. There was absolutely no way anyone would find out!
"I have something to tell you that concerns whether our family lives or dies. Please come now."
After speaking, Wang Yixue headed toward the ancestral hall.
The rest of them grew solemn as well and followed behind her, looking confused.
What could possibly be so serious that it concerned whether the Wang Family lived or died?
It's fine. Even if she found out, she has no evidence.
When they reached the ancestral hall, one of the elders spoke.
"Xiaoxue, everyone's here. Whatever the serious matter is, hurry up and tell us. We can all figure out a solution together."
Wang Yixue nodded, her face frosty. She pointed at Wang Rulong, who was standing at the very edge, and said, "Rulong, come here and kneel before our ancestors."
Everyone stared at Wang Rulong in shock.
Had he made another serious mistake?
Wang Rulong's mother stepped forward.
"Xiaoxue, what are you doing? Why are you suddenly telling your younger brother to kneel? Did he do something to offend you?"
Wang Rulong walked over with a bitter smile.
"That's right, Sis. Is there some misunderstanding between us?"
"A misunderstanding? You colluded with outsiders and betrayed your own family. You call that a misunderstanding?"
"Our company nearly suffered a disastrous loss over that new-energy project with Fals a while ago. And today, you were the one who had someone plant a Gu on Grandpa, weren't you?"
Wang Yixue fixed her gaze on Wang Rulong and demanded an answer.
Wang Rulong's face turned deathly pale. He shook his head frantically.
"No, Sis, you've got it wrong! How could I do something like that?"
"That deal with Fals really was my mistake. I misjudged him, and it was my fault for being incompetent. But how could Grandpa's illness have anything to do with me? However heartless I might be, I'd never do something like that."
"Right. Could there be some misunderstanding?"
"Xiaoxue, do you have any proof?"
The others found it hard to believe, too.
Wang Rulong had always behaved quite well at home.
"I'll bring in a witness."
Wang Yixue clapped her hands.
Soon, two bodyguards came in from outside with Li Deshen.
Li Deshen entered with a frightened look and dropped to his knees. In front of everyone, he explained the whole matter in detail.
This was now his only chance to redeem himself.
The young miss had already promised him that if he came forward as a witness, she'd let him live.
Once Li Deshen had finished, they had both a witness and physical evidence.
Wang Rulong's face was pale as he tried to explain himself.
His father was already furious. He charged over and punched him in the face.
After knocking him to the ground, he immediately started kicking him hard.
What wealthy families hated most was betrayal from within!
Worse, Wang Rulong had been bold enough to target the old master. That was an open-and-shut capital offense.
Only Wang Rulong's mother cried out and tried to stop her husband.
Everyone else watched coldly from the side, and Wang Yixue said nothing.
Only after Wang Rulong's father had beaten him half to death did she speak.
"That's enough, Second Uncle. Let's stop here for today. Grandpa still hasn't recovered. I think we should wait until he's well and let him decide what to do."
Wang Rulong's father nodded, his heart all but dead. He hadn't expected his son to be so foolish.
Given the old master's temperament, would Wang Rulong have any chance of surviving once he learned the truth?
"Take him away and lock him up for now."
After giving the two bodyguards the order, Wang Yixue turned to the Wang Family members.
"We can't blame everything on Wang Rulong. He was foolish, but someone else's heart is even more sinister. We must take revenge on that person."
"Exactly. We absolutely can't let him get away with it."
"He has to pay for what he did."
Everyone agreed that they should retaliate.
He had dared to target the Wang Family. They wouldn't show him any mercy.
The Wang Family soon began searching for Ye Chen's whereabouts, preparing to take revenge.
At the same time, every company owned by the Wang Family opened fire on the Longchen Group!
The Qin Family's estate was bustling.
Two days earlier, the Qin Family had suddenly announced that they were inviting feng shui masters from every region to solve their problem.
Whoever managed to do it would receive a ten-billion-yuan reward!
To these feng shui masters, ten billion was an astronomical sum.
So masters from all over the country gathered together, all hoping to resolve the Qin Family's predicament that day.
When Tang Yu drove over, he happened to see Ye Chen getting out of his car.
As soon as Ye Chen got out, Qin Kexin was already waiting for him.
"Miss Qin, how did you find the protective talisman?"
Ye Chen asked with a smile as he got out of the car.
"It worked very well, so I'll be troubling you today, Mr. Ye."
Qin Kexin nodded, though her gaze was complicated.
She still remembered hearing those inner thoughts last time.
To check, she had secretly taken apart the protective talisman that morning!
Inside was, just as expected, a crudely scribbled Ghost Scribble Talisman, with a dried drop of blood on it!
[Ha, that silly girl Qin Kexin must already be amazed by the protective talisman.]
[Good thing I'm feeling generous this time. I'll kindly help you expose his true colors later.]
[Speaking of which, where did that kid Qin Ming go?]
While she was wondering, that familiar voice sounded again.
She immediately looked around.
Who was it?
