cat behind the door let out a ghostly hiss and pounced. He snapped his two fingers, and the black cat flew back into the house, landing on the ground with smoke coming from its forehead.I screamed in...How big I turned my head to look at the iron gate of the courtyard. Two guys in yellow vests from the delivery company were struggling to get a huge box through the gate.
Dao Zong hurried over and asked, "What are you sending This is such a big one"
"We don't know either, it says gift here." The delivery guy pulled out a pen for him to sign.
The people in the house were arguing, and seeing this large item brought into the hallway, one by one they stopped, turned their heads to look over.
A punk girl with spiky hair, ear piercings, green hair dye, and heavy makeup spoke up: “What is this Is your uncle still thinking about changing the fridge at this time”
It seems that the male homeowner is her uncle, possibly the brother-in-law of Daozong. Daozong spoke up: "All of you be quiet, I invited a famous doctor from the circle, and seeing you all making so much noise, how can he concentrate on the diagnosis Arong, you're the loudest, speak softly."
Arong, such a quiet name, yet she's such a rebellious girl Her green spiked hair and black smokey makeup make her look like a member of an underground rock band.
This Arong gave us a cold look, without rebuttal, but also revealing a look of disdain.
The foreman turned his head and instructed the workers by the door: "Open it up and see what's inside."
My father pulled me aside, Ninth Senior Brother stood in front of us, and a young maid stood beside me. I whispered, "What are these rich people arguing about"
The maid was young and likely didn't care for these bigwigs. She muttered under her breath, "They're already fighting over the inheritance before the person is even dead…"
Oh my gosh, it seems like Daozong's brother-in-law is really wealthy.
Last time, when Seventh Senior Brother introduced him, he said that he grew up eating stones. He came from a family of jade mines, gold mines, and diamond mines. He must be incredibly wealthy.
"Is the man of this house very ill" I whispered.
Over there, they were busy unpacking parcels, no one noticed me coming this way. The maid glanced at them and whispered to me, "If it weren't for my wages being deducted until the end of the year, I would have run away long ago... It's too terrifying... Now I don't even dare to go to the third floor..."
My gossipy nature kicked in, and I pulled her to the corner between the entrance hall and the dining room. I slipped a few red envelopes into her hand and whispered, "Tell us what's going on, so we can help."
She didn't refuse and tucked the money away in her pocket, whispering, "I had two sorcerers come before, but they couldn't fix it. People at home said to invite someone powerful from the Shen family, but they replied that the head of the family was busy and had no time to accept the commission. Finally, we decided to ask a Xuan physician to see if he could cure it..."
"How is your master doing now" I asked.
"It's not good... I just went up a few days ago. I saw the male owner lying on the bed with his limbs bent, in a very awkward position. I don't know how to describe it... At that time, he wasn't very conscious. Later, the bodyguard guarded the bedroom door, and none of us could go in. When delivering meals, only the female owner dared to go in and put water and food in the room... But these two days, he hasn't been able to eat anything. I estimate that the situation is very bad, otherwise these relatives wouldn't have come rushing over to demand a division of property." The maid shrugged.
"What's the relationship with these relatives Even if the husband has something happen to him, the inheritance belongs to his wife, children, and parents, right" I continued to pry.
"... Apparently, relatives also invested in the company and receive dividends every year. Now they're demanding an equal share of the company's stock. I don't really understand..." The maid whispered her answer.
I also wanted to ask, there was a lot of yelling coming from the entrance hall. I turned around and saw that the opened express package was actually a huge old-fashioned grandfather clock!
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then cursed: "What kind of business rival would do such a despicable thing! What the hell is this clock for The person isn't even dead yet!"
A rather imposing female voice came from the doorway: "What are you doing here, making such a ruckus The person is still alive!"
His gaze focused on the front door, where a middle-aged woman in a national law enforcement uniform stood with narrowed eyes, backlit and exuding an imposing presence.
Wow... that's amazing.
Though the scenes of conflict in wealthy families might appear glamorous, with people dressed impeccably, at their core they are just as uncouth and shameless as common brawls in the streets.
The middle-aged woman's appearance caused even the most rebellious young woman, Arong, to fall silent.
Dao Zong said calmly, "Sister, you're back from the meeting These people are about to fight. I can barely hold them back."
"Can't hold back Who can't hold back Stand up and jump! I see each one of you about to fly into the sky! All of you shut your mouths! If I hear anyone speak without permission again, get out!" The middle-aged woman had a ferocious expression.
The little maid whispered, "This is my mistress... the deputy director of the city's Public Security Bureau..."
Amazing, no wonder it's so imposing! This is a municipality directly under the central government, meaning the Municipal Public Security Bureau is equivalent to our provincial department. With such a powerful figure at home, he must be the absolute authority in his family.
After those relatives fell silent, Dao instructed someone to move the grand clock that had been delivered to the warehouse. Then he invited us to his study on the first floor to talk.
Upon hearing Mr. Dao's introduction of my father, the hostess's expression eased slightly. She said, "Since you are a distinguished guest, please wait a moment while I change into another set of clothes to speak with you."
"No need for that," said Old Man, "You're in your military uniform, and you have a commanding presence. It's that aura which will quell the evil spirits in the house. Changing clothes would only make it inconvenient to take me to the room to see."
The hostess nodded and said, "Listening to your words, it seems there is some truth to them. Well then, let's talk this way. Please."
Come sit in the study, the maid brought tea and then slipped away. Daozong handed me a plate of Ferrero Rocher chocolates and smiled, “Little girl, you should still eat these snacks. Would you like some drinks”
I gave him a withering look. I'm not some little girl.
The hostess is Daozong's elder sister. We call her Lu Jie. She is older than my father and has a twenty-year-old son studying at university abroad.
She was very polite to my father: "Master, my brother told me that your school is quite famous in the yin-yang circle, dispensing medicine and saving lives. Our family's situation is so unexpected, so I hastily invited you here to take a look. Let me tell you the beginning and end of the matter, and you analyze it for me."
"Alright, go on then." My father stroked his beard.
Sister Lu's husband owns several mines near the border. One of them suddenly had an accident, burying dozens of workers. If this happened domestically, it would probably attract media attention. But coincidentally, this mine is located abroad, and the deceased are not Chinese citizens but refugees from overseas conflicts.
So the matter was suppressed, but after a few days, when the body was exhumed, it was found to be different from ordinary ones. There were local rumors that the grave of a sorcerer had been unearthed and that the deceased was seeking revenge on the living.
"I never believed these rumors," Lu Jie said domineeringly. "I've been in this business for so many years, and I've even killed armed drug dealers during drug raids. I've never seen anything like ghosts!"
"...But you already have one at home." I muttered quietly.
Her gaze swept over me in an instant.atives, this house is rented by him, he doesn't have much money, what are you looking for him for"Sweat... I'm not here to fight over inheritance, I don't care if he has money or not.The old lady kept...
