Chapter 80 Witchcraft
Zheng Wenjie didn't intend to waste any more words. If it was a ghost, he would beat her to death. If it was the feng shui of this place, he would destroy it.

Zheng Wenjie's pupils were dyed green in the blink of an eye, and he bared his snow-white fangs and roared, accompanied by Chu Renmei's shrill scream. Pei Likang's body was soaked in Chu Renmei's resentment. He stood up straight, and the resentment gathered on his nails, becoming sharp, long, black and cold.

The nails hit Zheng Wenjie's neck and shattered instantly. Half of the palm was blown away by the recoil, leaving no trace on Zheng Wenjie's body. Zheng Wenjie said in surprise: "I didn't expect you could also attack physically."

"But I'm not a human now. You can't move me at all even if you stand still. Well, goodbye!" Zheng Wenjie said with a sneer, and red and white flames instantly filled the space. The bodies of Pei Likang and Chu Renmei turned into ashes amid the screams of fear.

Dozens of seconds later, the water in the pond began to boil, the water level dropped visibly, and the gushing mist filled the mountains, covering the area like a fairyland.

The Pei family workers who were waiting at the foot of the mountain stared in amazement at the small piece of forest that was shrouded in the forest. One of the older workers had already knelt on the ground, kowtowed continuously, and muttered to himself.

In the fog, Zheng Wenjie slowly walked out carrying Perricone's magic box. A hired worker opened his eyes wide and saw bullet holes on Zheng Wenjie's black Tang suit. He screamed in fear: "Ghost!"

The hired mercenaries were all horrified and turned around and ran away in a hurry. Even the man who was kowtowing changed his expression, rolled his eyes and fainted.

Five days passed in a flash...Hong Kong Island, Gong Family Martial Arts School.

On a square rosewood table specially sent by Zhang Tianci, neatly stacked stacks of Hong Kong dollars were placed.

Tang Xue helps Gong Ruomei in the clinic, otherwise she would probably drool seeing a whole table full of Hong Kong dollars.

Zheng Wenjie picked up one and looked at it carefully. There was a mark on the Hong Kong dollar that proved to be a mark made by the person in charge when the forced signature banknote was issued. This mark is now also used to distinguish Hong Kong dollars.

"Mr. Zheng, the total amount is 3.7 million forced-signature banknotes." Zhao Lei said with a smile.

Zheng Wenjie nodded: "That's right. Now we just have to wait for HSBC to issue a statement acknowledging these banknotes. Then we can use them to buy houses. I'll leave it to you. Got it?"

"I see, Mr. Zheng. Why don't we register the company first? There are many preferential policies now, and the foreigners are also reducing taxes."

"Go ahead." Zheng Wenjie nodded in agreement.

Zhao Lei walked out of the martial arts gym in a suit and tie, and told the employees waiting at the door to leave. He ran into a group of people, led by a man in a Tang suit. With a slicked-back hair and powdered face, he glanced at Zhao Lei who had missed him, and entered the clinic with the support of his men behind him.

Peng Si stormed into the clinic with a haughty look on his face, and with a wave of his hand he ordered his men, who had been prepared long ago, to drive everyone out of the waiting room. There was a commotion everywhere, and the patients did not dare to resist, so they all left the clinic.

Zhao Lei, who had not walked far, asked his men to find the people from Heshengtang. He immediately turned around and ran into the clinic, yelling, "Stop it! You are so bold as to break into our clinic!"

Peng Si, who was sitting in a big position, took out a receipt from his pocket and slammed the table: "Bah! You broke the contract first! I'm here to demand compensation! Let your shopkeeper come out!"

Zhao Lei didn't know what was going on, but he wasn't afraid of the thugs around him who were watching him eagerly. He walked up to pick it up and took a look. He frowned and said, "It's clearly written on it. If there's a problem with the medicinal materials, we can cancel the contract."

Peng Si snorted coldly: "We have checked this batch of medicinal materials. You accepted them when they were delivered to your clinic. You only returned them this morning. Who knows what tricks you played tonight!"

"Since you want to break the contract, then pay the compensation! Six thousand dollars. If you pay even a cent less, I will smash your clinic!"

"How dare you." Zhao Lei sneered, tore the deed in his hand into two halves, threw it at Peng Si's face, opened his palm to grab half of Peng Si's face from his chin, and slammed it on the table.

"Who dares to move!" Zhao Lei took out a gun with his other hand and pointed it at the thugs who wanted to take action. Seeing that they did not dare to act rashly, Zhao Lei put the gun to Peng Si's temple.

"How dare you come to our clinic to blackmail people! Speak!"

Peng Si, whose ears were buzzing and whose head was swollen, raised his hands and said in pain, "I made a mistake, I made a mistake, I will leave now, I will leave now."

Zhao Lei snorted. Not wanting to destroy the tables and chairs in the waiting room, he retracted his gun and said, "Get out of here!"

Peng Si's steps softened, and he was helped out of the street by his men. Only then did he come to his senses, his face turned sinister and he shouted, "Let's go! Go straight to the police station! How dare the Gong Family Clinic secretly store firearms!"

The sound was so loud that it attracted Lin Liangchun, who was drinking sugar water not far away.

Peng Si felt his men loosen their hands from supporting him. He looked up and saw four men dressed as coolies approaching him. The first one was glaring at him. Peng Si angrily yelled, "What are you looking at? Get out of here!"

Lin Liangchun clenched his fist, took two steps forward and punched Peng Si on the head. Peng Si was knocked back a few steps and hit the thug, then collapsed to the ground like a noodle soaked in water.

"It's none of our business! We were hired by him!" The thugs let go of Peng Si just now because they recognized Lin Liangchun. Now in Kowloon, the biggest gang is the rapidly expanding Heshengtang. In just seven days, nearly a thousand official members were added to the roster.

"Get out of here!" Lin Liangchun said. The thugs didn't care about Peng Si anymore and turned around and ran away.

Lin Liangchun asked his men to carry Peng Si and walked towards the martial arts hall. He bumped into Zhao Lei who was about to leave after reporting to Zheng Wenjie. Zhao Lei was stunned and said, "What a coincidence. Just now, this bastard wanted to smash the clinic. I was afraid that shooting would make things worse, so I let him go."

"I was going to tell Brother Bao later, but I didn't expect you to catch me. Let's go directly to the martial arts hall. Brother Zheng is still there."

Gong Ruomei took back the silver needles on the old man's head one by one and said softly: "Don't get up yet, rest for half an hour, the headache should be relieved."

"Doctor, thank you so much. I felt much better after acupuncture the day before yesterday. Thanks to Mr. Hu for telling me about this, otherwise my sons would have wanted to send me to a foreign hospital to cut open my head, huh!" said the old man.

"I can't cure it completely, I can only relieve it for a few years."

The old man laughed: "Doctor Gong is so young, but he was able to pull me back from the brink of death. It is not an exaggeration for me to call you a medical genius. To be honest, I have already asked a Feng Shui master to find a place for me to sleep in the future."

"Did something happen outside just now? If you need anything, Doctor Gong, please let me know."

Gong Ruomei took the medicine bag handed over by Tang Xue and placed it next to the old man, saying with a smile: "It's okay, my husband will take care of it. It will be good for your condition if you keep your current attitude."

"Haha, okay. If anything happens, I still have some face among the foreigners. Doctor Gong, please don't be polite."

Gong Ruomei thanked him and left the treatment room with Tang Xue. The smile on her face disappeared and she sat in front of the examination table expressionlessly: "Lao Jiang and San Jiangshui haven't come back yet?"

"He hasn't come back since he went to return the herbs this morning. He must have been arrested." Tang Xue handed over a porcelain bowl filled with blood. "But the person who caused trouble just now has been taken back to the martial arts hall."

Having just used her supernatural powers to shrink the tumor in the old man's head, Gong Ruomei was indeed a little tired. She took the bowl and drank it all. She wiped the red stain on the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and ordered: "There are no patients now. Take a rest today. Go and save them." After the old man's driver came to pick him up, Gong Ruomei went back to the martial arts hall next door. Looking at Peng Si who was tied to the training pole, Gong Ruomei stepped forward and slapped Zheng Wenjie's arm: "I told you last time not to tie people up there. This is for practicing martial arts."

Zheng Wenjie put his arm around Gong Ruomei's shoulders and said with a smile, "I'm doing this to vent your anger. You dared to come and make trouble and drive away the patient."

Gong Ruomei smiled helplessly at Zheng Wenjie, then turned to look at Peng Si expressionlessly and said coldly, "Isn't Liu Cheng the head of the Liu Family Pharmacy?"

"This morning, Li Qingyi from the Li's Shipyard came to get his injections. When I asked Xiaoxue to pick up the prescription, I discovered that the rhino horn sent by the Liu's Pharmacy had turned into an ox horn."

"One kilogram of rhino horn costs 30,000 yuan. I asked Lao Jiang and San Jiang Shui to return the goods and refund the money, but they haven't come back yet."

Zheng Wenjie hugged Gong Ruomei and looked at Peng Si with amusement: "Of course, the people who kidnapped us wanted to take our 30,000 yuan, and they dared to come to our house to ask for compensation."

When Peng Si woke up, he found himself tied up tightly. He knew he had hit a wall, and was so scared that he was sweating and his chest was pounding. When he heard the question, he said hurriedly: "My boss asked me to come here. It was my fault. I was blinded by my greed and deceived my boss."

"I took the rhino horns from that batch of medicinal materials and gave them to some big shots among the foreigners. Please, let me go. I will go and apologize to the shopkeeper."

"I grew up with the shopkeeper, and I know him very well. The shopkeeper will definitely compensate me with another batch of high-quality rhino horns. As long as I go back and admit that I was the one who forged them, the shopkeeper will compensate me. Let me go."

Gong Ruomei leaned on Zheng Wenjie, her cold eyes swept over the pleading face of Peng Si and said softly: "Let him go, I still need rhino horns. In the whole of Guangzhou, only Liu's pharmacy can get the best rhino horns. I have asked Xiaoxue to rescue Lao Jiang and the others."

Zheng Wenjie nodded to Lin Liangchun to let him go. Lin Liangchun stepped forward to untie Peng Si and said, "Master Ding, I'll take the others with me to prevent him from playing tricks."

"No, no, I'm just a small figure, I must be honest. No, I will send the herbs here overnight after I go back. They must be the best." Peng Si rubbed his arms and said in a pleasant voice with his head lowered.

Zheng Wenjie didn't care about it and said to Lin Liangchun, "Forget it, go and do your thing."

Lin Liangchun nodded and pushed Peng Si: "Hurry up! If you don't send the herbs and apology before dawn, I will send you down to sell salted duck eggs!"

Peng Si nodded like a quail, and ran out of the martial arts hall as fast as he could. Soon, Lin Liangchun could no longer see him. The coolie guarding the martial arts hall saw Lin Liangchun coming out and asked, "Brother Chun, are you just going to let him go?"

Lin Liangchun took out a cigarette and smoked it, saying, "Ding Ye is kind-hearted. Let's give him a chance to live. Let's go and see how the nightclub is decorated."

Zheng Wenjie didn't believe that rhino horn could be of much use. He thought it would be better for him to go to a foreign hospital for an injection. Rhino horn, as a traditional Chinese medicine, is a cold material with the effects of clearing heat, cooling blood, detoxifying and calming the nerves.

When there were only two people left in the martial arts hall, Gong Ruomei took Zheng Wenjie back to the backyard, walked into the house and said excitedly: "Hurry up and sit down. I want to draw your portrait."

Zheng Wenjie reluctantly sat down as Gong Ruomei requested, and saw Gong Ruomei take out a small piece of ink and put it into the inkstone, then took out a small knife and slid it across her palm. Bright red blood flowed down. As soon as the wound healed, she continued to cut until the inkstone was filled with enough blood.

"What kind of hellish stuff did you learn from that book and you're using me as an experiment." Zheng Wenjie rubbed his temple and found a yellowed book in the magic tool box left by Perricone.

It contained all sorts of messed up witchcraft. Zheng Wenjie recognized every word after flipping through a few pages, but when they were put together he couldn't understand them and lost interest.

As a result, Gong Ruomei became more and more excited after watching it. Last night, she even asked Zheng Wenjie to make a human-shaped puppet. She tied a strand of hair to it, carved her own birth date and time on it, and kept poking it with a needle while muttering something. She was surprised that she could feel the itchiness at the poked position.

Zheng Wenjie explained that you are now maintaining a human body. Except for your greater strength and better healing ability, you are no different from a normal person. A sharp knife can poke several big holes in your body.

After hearing this, Gong Ruomei excitedly activated her blood and stretched out the fangs in her mouth, and the puppet instantly turned into ashes.

Now I don’t know what Gong Ruomei has learned from it. This time she is using herself as an experiment. Zheng Wenjie leaned back in the armchair and watched Gong Ruomei sketching on the paper stroke by stroke.

Seeing Gong Ruomei's serious and focused look, Zheng Wenjie couldn't help but smile. The first time she saw a ghost, Gong Ruomei was so scared that she couldn't let go of her hands, but now she was very interested in these weird things.

Gong Ruomei looked at Zheng Wenjie on the drawing paper and smiled with satisfaction: "Come and see! Is my drawing good?"

Zheng Wenjie leaned over and put his face against Gong Ruomei's face to examine the painting. Zheng Wenjie, who was wearing a black Tang suit, made the painting come alive on the paper: "Didn't you use blood? How come there is no trace of red at all?"

Gong Ruomei gently stroked Zheng Wenjie's face in the painting with her fingertips. Strange, fine blood beads seeped out of the painting. Zheng Wenjie in the painting blinked his eyes, then floated out of the painting, floating in the air in a daze.

Zheng Wenjie calmly commented: "It looked pretty good on paper, but now it looks nothing like me."

"This is witchcraft, which requires mana. I'm just doing an experiment to see if I can use my blood as a substitute. If it works, then I can use all the witchcraft in this book."

"Okay." Zheng Wenjie stood up straight: "What can this do?"

Gong Ruomei controlled the paper man and returned to the drawing paper. The more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became. "The one drawn with this witchcraft looks exactly like you on the drawing paper, and he does whatever I tell him to do."

As Gong Ruomei spoke, Zheng Wenjie in the painting performed a set of Gong family sixty-four moves just like in a comic strip.

Zheng Wenjie pinched Gong Ruomei's earlobe speechlessly: "Can you control it to kill people?"

Gong Ruomei shook her head and broke free from Zheng Wenjie's hand. She turned around and hit Zheng Wenjie's chest with her forehead. She raised her head and said angrily, "I told you not to think about killing people all the time. If you do this, how many people do I have to save to accumulate blessings for you?"

Zheng Wenjie lost his temper when he saw Gong Ruomei's angry eyes, and raised his hands in surrender: "I don't have any intention of killing anyone, I'm just asking."

Zheng Wenjie was also helpless. He didn't expect Gong Ruomei to become superstitious after turning into a zombie. Lao Jiang said that when she first arrived in Hong Kong Island, she went to the island to donate incense money to the Big Buddha Temple.

Gong Ruomei said no more, stretched out her hand to pull down Zheng Wenjie's raised hands and squeezed them, then hung the painting on the wall and said, "Go out and see, they are back."

Tang Xue brought Lao Jiang, San Jiangshui and a young man into the martial arts hall. Except for Lao Jiang, everyone stared at the cash on the table in amazement. As soon as they saw each other, San Jiangshui came to his senses and shouted, "Master, Liu Cheng was beheaded yesterday."

Zheng Wenjie knew that he had been deceived by Peng Si, but he didn't react.

Gong Ruomei was slightly stunned. She had a good impression of Liu Cheng, the owner of Liu's pharmacy, who was a man who ran a pharmacy with integrity. She couldn't help but ask, "Who beheaded him?"
