Chapter 102 Shen Cihang

Zhao Lei nodded in silence. He didn't have any feelings about this. Zheng Wenjie's horror had left a shadow after he killed his son in front of him.

He knew about the explosion but he just let it go and did not stop it. In the past thirty years, he and Zhang Tianci and others have gone through too many ups and downs, and his son also died. If he had not known about reincarnation, even if he knew it was impossible, he would have fought Zheng Wenjie with all his might.

After waiting for about an hour, Zheng Wenjie and Zhao Lei changed to another car and drove back to the villa.

Tang Xue was holding up pieces of children's clothing and comparing them to Yu'er. Although Yu'er still looked lifeless, she did not resist, and her shoulder-length hair was tied into a bun.

"Master, you're back?" Tang Xue pretended to call Zheng Wenjie naturally, and threw a skirt in her hand into the brazier beside her to burn it. After a while, the skirt appeared on Yu'er's body.

Zheng Wenjie murmured in his heart that Yu'er's dark eyes and cold white skin without any blood color made her look weird and eerie no matter what clothes she wore.

"Yu'er is so beautiful!" Tang Xue clapped her hands, admiring her masterpiece with a look of satisfaction.

Suddenly, he wrinkled his nose, moved closer to Zheng Wenjie and sniffed his clothes: "Why do I smell a smell of gunpowder?"

"There was an explosion today and the road collapsed." Zheng Wenjie said casually as he took off his coat and handed it to Tang Xue.

Tang Xue said "oh" and hung up her coat. Thinking of what happened in the morning, she said to Zheng Wenjie, "Not long after you left in the morning, someone came to visit."

"It's said that it's your old acquaintance, Su Wan'er. Her son has been possessed by an evil spirit and is now in a coma, but her son's girlfriend has hired a master."

"The master's surname is Shen. He specially set up a formation to invite the ghost that possessed his son to return to the world of the living."

Zheng Wenjie nodded. Su Wan'er's son Lizhi was blamed for his father's mistakes. It seemed that Master Shen was capable of solving this problem.

Tang Xue looked at Zheng Wenjie with a disdainful tone and said, "I heard what Su Wan'er said. That Master Shen seemed very powerful, but instead of dealing with the ghost, he negotiated a deal with it!"

"It says that as long as Li Zhi survives past six the night after tomorrow, the ghost will let Li Zhi go after dawn and will not be allowed to target the Li family again."

Tang Xue said indignantly, "Master, take a look. I heard from Su Wan'er that Master Shen is a disciple of Buddhism. Doesn't Buddhism say that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda?"

"Instead, he made a deal with the goblin instead of destroying it directly. Even if they win, how can they guarantee that the goblin won't go back on its word?"

Zheng Wenjie asked in confusion: "What does this have to do with us? Why do you care so much?"

Tang Xue glanced at Zheng Wenjie speechlessly, then turned to Yu'er and said, "Yu'er! Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. How can we allow ghosts to harm people? Don't you think so?"

Zheng Wenjie touched his chin and looked at Yu'er's reaction with amusement. How could a ghost full of resentment think about saving people?

However, Yu'er nodded silently under the gazes of Zheng Wenjie and Tang Xue.

"Master! Look!" Tang Xue continued excitedly: "This has nothing to do with us! Didn't you say it before! The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!"

"Master, tomorrow you go to the Li family and teach Master Shen a lesson, and then help the Li family get rid of the ghost. And oh." Tang Xue propped her chin on the coffee table: "The Li family is so rich, the newspapers say it is one of the four major families. If you save their only heir, then the Sun God Cult will develop faster!"

"I'm so smart!" Tang Xue looked at Zheng Wenjie expectantly: "Master? I'll send you to the Li family tomorrow morning."

Zheng Wenjie nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "How much money did Su Wan'er give you?"

Tang Xue stared at Zheng Wenjie with wide eyes in disbelief: "Master, what do you mean by that?"

Zheng Wenjie asked helplessly: "What kind of person are you in your own eyes?"

"When have you ever cared about other people's lives? Gong Er has told me many times that she would correct you for not taking human lives seriously!"

Tang Xue raised her head with a look of dissatisfaction: "That was in the past! I am asking you to take action now just for the lives of the Li family!"

Zheng Wenjie pointed at Tang Xue and said, "Why don't you just go? If you're afraid that you can't deal with a ghost, you can always take Yu'er with you."

Tang Xue pulled Yu'er to her side and pointed at herself: "Master, look at Yu'er, then look at me. If we take action, wouldn't it be revealed that we are not human? I am not like you and the young lady. The young lady can use witchcraft, and you can use superpowers without transforming."

"That does make sense!" Zheng Wenjie suddenly continued, "If you are exposed, can't you just kill them? Once they are all dead, no one will see your transformed appearance."

Tang Xue slapped Yu'er's arm fiercely: "That's right! Why didn't I think of that? Yu'er, why didn't you remind me just now!"

Yu'er silently turned her head to the side and said weakly in a soft voice: "Where will the money come from if we kill these people? The woman only gave you a deposit. Please ask the envoy to agree to go to the Li family before she can give you the rest of the gold."

Zheng Wenjie discovered the truth and asked angrily: "How much gold? Didn't you say you didn't take any money?"

Tang Xue bit her lip and looked at Zheng Wenjie: "I never said I didn't take the money. Gold, it's not much, just five pieces of gold, I'll give it to you later."

"Ten dollars!" Yu'er said silently again.

Tang Xue looked at Yu Er in shock: "We agreed to have it half each!"

Yu Er turned her head to Tang Xue: "But you were lying to me. You said you had spent all your money on buying me these beautiful clothes."

"But just now when you went to deliver blood to the young lady, I discovered that in addition to the trapped people, there was another compartment in the basement, which was full of gold, jewelry and... um?"

Tang Xue covered Yu'er's mouth with her hand, picked her up and went upstairs, saying loudly: "Master, I'm going to teach Yu'er how to read and write!"

Zheng Wenjie smiled and shook his head, then followed him up the stairs and into the study on the third floor. Gong Ruomei was leaning against the bed, concentrating on carving a piece of mahogany with a carving knife in her hand.

Zheng Wenjie didn't interrupt and quietly took a book from the bookshelf and started flipping through it. …

Su Wan'er left Li Zhi's room, patted her chest with the silk in her hand at the door, wiped the corners of her eyes, then went upstairs with a sigh, knocked on the door gently, and waited until she heard a sound from inside before pushing the door open.

"Sister, how can I live without Zhier?" Su Wan'er couldn't control her tears when she saw Hua Rong.

Hua Rong also sighed and helped Su Wan'er to sit down beside the bed, comforting her: "Don't worry, Wan'er, Shen Cihang is a man of real ability, he would not do something without a purpose, since he made an agreement with the green-faced monster, there must be a reason for it."

"Also, didn't you go to invite the son-in-law from the Gong family this morning?" Hua Rong said.

Su Wan'er felt panic in her chest and touched Hua Rong's hand tightly: "When I went there in the morning, he was not at home. There was only a little girl at home."

"The girl said Zheng Wenjie was not at home and wanted to chase me away. I gave her the box of gold and she invited me into the house."

Hua Rong frowned and said, "You didn't see Zheng Wenjie?"

Hua Rong shook her head: "No, the girl said that she would take care of it. As long as the money is enough, she will ensure that Zheng Wenjie will come to our Li family in the next two days."

"This... If Zheng Wenjie doesn't come tomorrow, there will be one day left before the final bet between Shen Cihang and the Green-faced Demon. Let's go together tomorrow to ask him to come out." Hua Rong didn't know what to say to her sister for a moment.

I remember that I didn't believe it when I heard Su Wan'er say a few days ago that Zheng Wenjie's appearance had not changed at all.

It took a lot of money and effort to investigate and find out that the Gong family was the behind-the-scenes boss of Yongsheng Group, and Zhao Lei, Zhang Tianci and others were actually the killers who broke into Yanghongyuan and killed his old lover Ma Changtu.

After Li Zhi's father died, Hua Rong supported the Li family. Otherwise, the orphaned and widowed Su Wan'er and Li Zhi would have been eaten up by the Li family's side branches long ago.

Hua Rong had seen Zhao Lei in the past few years, but he had changed so much that she didn't recognize him at all. If she had seen Lin Bao, who killed Ma Changtu, Hua Rong would not be surprised when Su Wan'er talked about Zheng Wenjie, because Hua Rong was very familiar with Lin Bao and had seen him many times.

But what shocked Hua Rong was not that she had found the murderer of her husband. She was now Su Wan'er's sister and the second wife of Li Zhi's father. As she had not given birth to a child, she treated Li Zhi as her own son. As for Ma Changtu, she would not have remembered him at all if this past event had not been mentioned.

Ma Changtu did not leave as deep an impression on Hua Rong as Zheng Wenjie. When Su Wan'er mentioned Zheng Wenjie's face and recalled how Zheng Wenjie was confident and at ease at the time, he did not seem like an ordinary person at all.

Compared to Shen Cihang, an old classmate introduced by Li Zhixin's girlfriend He Yu, the two sisters trust Zheng Wenjie more, even though they still know nothing about Zheng Wenjie.

But Li Zhi rejected the sisters' idea and showed extraordinary resistance to Zheng Wenjie. When asked the reason, Li Zhi couldn't tell. It was just an intuition that something terrible would happen if the man she had seen in the ward came.

But now, since Shen Cihang and the Green-faced Monster reached an agreement, Li Zhi also fell into a deep sleep, and he could no longer stop his two mothers from inviting Zheng Wenjie.

At the Li family's villa, He Yu was seeing off his old classmate Shen Cihang. When Shen Cihang got into the car, He Yu couldn't help but ask, "Why did you make a bet with the green-faced monster? This green-faced monster is obviously afraid of you."

Shen Cihang turned the Buddhist beads on his wrist and said with a smile: "This green-faced monster is also a bit famous in the underworld. Making a deal can not only avoid offending the green-faced monster's backers, but also save the life of the donor Li Zhi. Why not do it?"

He Yu was helpless. She didn't understand these superstitious things, but she knew that now that she was on the boat, she had no choice but to trust Shen Cihang.

...

The next morning, Tang Xue sent Zheng Wenjie to the Li family villa.

"Where is Master Shen that you invited?" Zheng Wenjie took Tang Xue and sat on the luxurious sofa in the Li family.

Hua Rong kindly brought a plate of cakes and placed it on the table in front of Tang Xue: "Master Shen and the Green-faced Monster agreed that Master Shen cannot interfere in this matter in the next two days."

Zheng Wenjie raised his eyebrows: "Then what backup plan did he prepare for you to deal with the green-faced demon ghost? You are all mortals, what backup plan can you use to deal with a demon ghost that has cultivated magical powers?"

In addition to Zheng Wenjie and the other two, there were also He Yu and two distant brothers who were close to Li Zhi. The fat one was called Li Jia and the thin one was called Li Zhen. At this moment, they looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, Hua Rong spoke up: "Master Zheng, it was not the green-faced demon who came to take Li Zhi's life, but the soul-catching messenger. The green-faced demon said that he had bribed the soul-catching messenger."

"Soul Catcher?" Tang Xue waved her hand nonchalantly: "Then you all don't have to worry about it! Just give me the remaining gold!"

"Is this true?" Hua Rong was surprised and hurriedly pulled Su Wan'er back to the room.

"Wait!" Zheng Wenjie patted Tang Xue on the back of her head. "Kid, you are talking nonsense. You should be confident in dealing with the Soul Catcher Master Shen."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Hua Rong's eyes. After she and Su Wan'er sat down again, she said, "Master Shen said that if you want to become a soul-snatching messenger, you must satisfy the soul-snatching messenger's cultivation method. You must satisfy at least one of the four taboos of wine, sex, money and anger in order to be infatuated enough to become a soul-snatching messenger."

"So Master Shen, let us prepare cigarettes, good wine, adult education films, and a mahjong table that is short of one player."

Zheng Wenjie nodded: "He is right. A soul-catcher must commit one of these four taboos in order to become one."

After receiving Zheng Wenjie's confirmation, Su Wan'er's uncertain heart calmed down a little and continued, "Master Shen also said that we can't see the Soul Catcher. We can only let it appear on its own. If the ground is covered with incense ash, the Soul Catcher will leave footprints when he steps on the incense ash."

"Use the prepared nectar water and sprinkle it on the soul-catching messenger to force it to show itself. The nectar water can also temporarily seal the soul-catching messenger, making it unable to use its magic power. Then use the incense-burning Guan Gong sword to resist it. Wait until six o'clock, and we will win this agreement!"

Tang Xue touched her smooth chin and said, "If it doesn't go according to plan, then you will fail, right? How much did this Master Shen charge you?"

Su Wan'er didn't care about He Yu's ugly face and said directly: "One million Hong Kong dollars, and give him a property as a place for him to practice!"

Tang Xue was excited when she heard this. She stood up and said in a strong voice, "I don't want the property, I just want one million, and I will fight this soul-snatching messenger for you!"

Li Jia pulled Li Zhen to a corner and whispered, "Ah Zhen, if the masters the two grandmas invited are really that powerful, then we don't have to risk our lives, right?"

"What if they are liars? I think you are crazy again after seeing the beautiful girl!" Li Zhen was about to continue talking when he heard Hua Rong's firm voice: "Master Zheng, I know that Yongsheng Group is yours. As long as Li Zhi is safe and sound, our Li family and Yongsheng Group will always be friends. And for the land in the bay, the Li family will not only give up the competition, but will also fully support Yongsheng!"
