He first went to the town hospital for a checkup, but the doctor there said he couldn't see anything wrong with his arm.

Guan Shigao felt that the doctors at the town hospital must be incompetent, so he contacted his son and planned to go to the city for treatment.

There are many hospitals in the city, and their equipment is advanced. He felt that he would definitely be able to find out the cause of his illness and then receive treatment.

Who knew that his son took him to several hospitals, but the results were all unsatisfactory.

As his arm condition worsened and only flared up at night, Guan Shigao began to have other suspicions.

However, that guess was somewhat terrifying to him.

He began to suspect that his arm injury might not be a common ailment, but rather related to the gold bracelet.

After carefully recalling the whole incident, he realized that the first time his arm was injured was the night he swiped the gold bracelet from the old man.

Could it really be related to that gold bracelet?

Guan Shigao was at a loss for what to do when his son and daughter-in-law suggested finding a master in this field to solve the problem.

In fact, Guan Shigao agreed with this when he heard it, since he had started to think about it in that direction as well.

But he was also afraid that the master would ask him all sorts of questions, or tell his fortune, and then reveal the truth in front of his son and daughter-in-law.

If that's the case, what will he do then?

His son and daughter-in-law must hate him to death, right?

Therefore, to eliminate this possibility, Guan Shigao decided not to see the master and instead asked his son and daughter-in-law to buy him a talisman.

If that master is truly effective, then his talisman must also be effective.

So when his son and daughter-in-law brought it up, Guan Shigao was very reluctant to see the master.

As long as he doesn't go, his son and daughter-in-law naturally can't force him to go.

But they are both filial children and couldn't bear to see him suffer so much, so they would definitely secretly buy him a talisman.

Once they've bought the talisman, you can pretend you don't want to waste their hard work and then use the talisman.

Guan Shigao's idea was indeed quite good, and his guess was quite accurate.

But the one thing he didn't guess was that Master Lin Xi would come home with his son Guan Shaochuan, and that Lin Xi was so powerful that he could tell what had happened to him just by looking at him without needing to calculate his birth date and time.

...

After Guan Shigao told everything, his face turned ashen, as if he had aged decades in an instant, and his head drooped almost to his neck.

He was too ashamed to face his son and daughter-in-law again.

Guan Shaochuan and his wife were stunned by what Guan Shigao said and remained speechless for a long time.

After the two of them had finally processed everything, they didn't know what to say.

They never expected the truth to be like this: the father, Guan Shigao, would actually steal a dead man's bracelet and even planned to give it to his daughter-in-law.

Although he said he would melt it down and remake other designs, wasn't that still stolen from the dead?

This behavior is completely wrong!

Guan Shigao's daughter-in-law, in particular, felt immense pressure after hearing these words; Guan Shigao's words felt like a mountain pressing down on her.

It's as if she instigated her father-in-law, Guan Shigao, to do this!

She felt both helpless and somewhat angry.

"Dad, I never said that the three gold pieces you gave me for my wedding were stingy or not presentable! How could you think that way!"

"As for my parents, they weren't familiar with you at first, and they might have said some unpleasant things behind your back. But I've already warned them privately, and after seeing how good Shaochuan and you are to me, they haven't said anything like that again!"

"Besides, Shaochuan and I have been married for so long, and we have savings now. If I really want a gold bracelet or a gold necklace, Shaochuan can buy it for me himself. Why would you need to do such a thing?"

Guan Shaochuan's wife became increasingly angry and speechless as she spoke.

What kind of mess is this?!

If this gets out, people might think that it was her, the daughter-in-law, and her in-laws who were putting pressure on Guan Shigao. Then where would she and her parents put their faces?

Guan Shaochuan's wife grew angrier the more she thought about it, but because Guan Shigao was her father-in-law and there was a distance between them, she could only glare at Guan Shaochuan with red eyes and tell him to control his father!

Guan Shaochuan received a resentful look from his wife, but could only manage a helpless, bitter smile.

What can he say now that things have come to this?

What he wanted to say was actually similar to what his wife had just said.

Guan Shaochuan looked at his father, exhausted, and said.

"Dad, could you please tell me before you do these things? I know you're doing this out of concern for me, but these things really aren't necessary for us!"

"If I had known you had something on your mind, I would have transferred the money to you directly. You can buy as many gold bracelets as you want!"

Although he and his wife didn't have much savings when they got married, they've worked for a few years now and naturally have money on hand. They don't need his father to steal from the dead to save face for him.

On the contrary, his father's actions will not only fail to make him look good in front of his wife and in-laws, but will also make him feel ashamed!

Because their family wasn't so poor that they needed to steal from the dead!

Ultimately, it was his father's desire to gain an advantage that prevailed.

Otherwise, even if he really felt that the three gold pieces he received when he got married weren't respectable enough, after all these years and countless opportunities, he could have discussed it with me, and the father and son could have given his wife new gold jewelry together!

However, Guan Shaochuan had never heard his father say anything like that over the years, and he was unaware that his father had such a knot in his heart.

And his father brought this up at this critical juncture and committed this theft, all because he thought that dead people couldn't talk and wouldn't call the police if their things were stolen, so he wanted to take advantage of them!

Unfortunately, the dead can't speak or call the police, but they will haunt the person who stole their things, silently taking revenge!

Guan Shaochuan was also constantly blaming his father in his heart, but after blaming him, he could only cheer up and solve the problem.

What else can we do? This is his own father. We can't just stand by and watch him get killed by that ghost.

Therefore, after saying a few words to his father, Guan Shaochuan could only look at Lin Xi and ask hesitantly.

"Master, could you please advise me on how to resolve the situation my father is facing?"

"You don't need to do anything; just a little guidance will be enough for us, and we will be eternally grateful!"

Guan Shaochuan was too ashamed to ask Lin Xi for help.

Moreover, Lin Xi just made it clear that she would not help Guan Shigao.

But Guan Shaochuan and his group knew nothing about these things, so they had no choice but to ask Lin Xi for help.

Lin Xi has always despised people like Guan Shigao.
