"From a feng shui perspective, this place is very bad. It's not a place for the living to live; the yin energy is too heavy."

Liu Yuan had been observing the villa ever since he got out of the car. It didn't look good at all; it exuded a deathly aura.

Something felt off as soon as I entered the villa; it looked like a tomb.

Once inside the villa, things that shouldn't be there were placed there. Even a healthy person would become weak and sickly after living in this place for a long time.

"He's upstairs, please go up and check on him as soon as possible."

Lu Xuelian was extremely anxious. She had been observing since she came in, but there was no trace of him, which meant that Lu Chen had not come downstairs today.

Lu Xuelian urged them to go upstairs.

Zhao Zhicheng also frowned. This man was introduced by his old comrade-in-arms who had fought alongside him on the battlefield, and he was told to trust him.

He had never encountered anything unorthodox or wicked in his life. If Lu Chen's situation hadn't been so strange, he wouldn't have even considered it. Now, listening to Liu Yuan's explanation, he didn't completely believe him, but simply remained rational and calm as he followed behind.

The wife's concern can cloud her judgment; one of them must remain rational.

Upon arriving at Lu Chen's bedroom, Lu Xuelian turned on the light and looked at Lu Chen with concern, saying, "Lu Chen, please forgive your aunt and uncle for their intrusion... Auntie promises that you don't need to worry about anything, we just came to see you."

Lu Chen looked at Lu Xuelian without saying a word. He was already very happy to see them arrive.

Even if they were there to harm him, he would still be happy.

Liu Yuan walked to Lu Chen's side, frowned as he looked at him, and then said in a deep voice, "Has he offended someone?"

Zhao Zhicheng and Lu Xuelian felt embarrassed after hearing this.

“His life gate was sealed off, and his death gate was wide open. The house was also arranged like this, so his body could not retain yang energy. His yang energy and life force were consumed, like a flood that washed away all yang energy and life force. Looking at his condition, it is a miracle that he has survived until now.”

Liu Yuan frowned. Lu Chen's condition was far too serious. He could tell at a glance that he didn't have the ability to help.

"What should we do? Please, Taoist priest, save him! He's only twenty-eight years old. We'll do anything you need if you can save him."

Lu Xuelian felt as if her heart was being torn apart. For a moment, she forgot her status and anxiously spoke to Liu Yuan.

"Just tell us how much you need, and we'll find a way to get it for you."

Zhao Zhicheng looked at Liu Yuan and then spoke up.

Even if it's a scam, he's willing to spend a little money for peace of mind.

Liu Yuan frowned and shook his head: "This is not a matter of money. Money can't solve his problem. There is an aura protecting him. I'll set up a protective spirit array for him so that his family can guard him day and night. I'll also change the feng shui layout of this house. Let's see if there's any change in seven days."

Liu Yuan didn't want money because he couldn't handle the matter.

There's no reason to charge money for something you can't do.

“I’ll report it to my superiors and see if anyone can solve his problem.”

Liu Yuan glanced at Lu Xuelian and Zhao Zhicheng. He was just a nobody in the Special Affairs Department. He couldn't solve Lu Chen's situation, but he could do his best to make things better for him.

Sometimes, just one more day can bring a turn for the better.

"well."

Lu Xuelian nodded repeatedly.

Zhao Zhicheng frowned slightly; they didn't want any money.

Despite his doubts, Zhao Zhicheng approved of this approach.

"I'll set up the house first, and you guys get him some food. Eating something will make him more energetic."

Knowing that time was of the essence, Liu Yuan gave a brief instruction and then turned and went downstairs.

"Old Zhao, go call and tell Old Lu and his wife to come over. I'll go cook some egg noodles."

Lu Xuelian looked at Zhao Zhicheng and said that she didn't have time to buy groceries today, so she could only eat some egg noodles or something similar.

Zhao Zhicheng nodded. Just as they were about to go down to do their work, Lu Chen spoke softly, "Uncle Zhao, Aunt Lu, thank you for doing all this for me."

"No need to thank me, just take good care of yourself and get well soon."

Zhao Zhicheng felt a little upset.

Lu Xuelian's eyes also reddened.

The couple went downstairs together.

Lu Chen sighed, listening to the various noises coming from his house with mixed feelings.

There were knocking and tapping sounds.

There was also the sizzling sound of eggs hitting the oil.

There was also the sound of Zhao Zhicheng making a phone call.

Liu Yuan moved some of the ornaments that could be repositioned, and for those that couldn't be changed, he made some adjustments, such as adding some items or hanging ornaments.

He was also observing the villa, his frustration unabated.

Strange, there are no signs of worship or feeding in Lu Chen's home, so where does the energy protecting him come from?

It's powerful, yet also unfamiliar.

Lu Xuelian carried a bowl of egg noodles upstairs. She wanted to feed Lu Chen, but Lu Chen was too embarrassed to let her feed him. He sat up and slowly ate the noodles on a small table propped up on the bed.

His hands trembled slightly, which pained Lu Xuelian deeply.

At 5 p.m., Lu Yuanshan, Lin Xianghua, and Zhao Yujiao arrived at the villa.

As soon as she entered, Lin Xianghua angrily questioned Liu Yuan, who was making changes.

"What are you doing in my son's house? Who gave you permission to touch anything?"

Lin Xianghua's eyes reddened as she watched Liu Yuan destroy most of what they had painstakingly set up. She immediately rushed over and, without saying a word, tried to pull up the ladder.

Zhao Zhiyuan quickly stopped her: "Ms. Lin, please calm down!"

Liu Yuan said that there was a big problem with the relief at the top, and it was difficult for him to change it. He could only add a little to ease the situation.

Liu Yuan was so tired from doing all this that he was covered in sweat and his face was pale. When Lin Xianghua pulled him like that, Liu Yuan almost fell off the ladder.

"Calm down? How can I calm down? You've ruined my son's perfectly good home! What kind of sorcery are you talking about? I think you're the ones practicing sorcery! Comrade Zhao, you're a Party member, don't you know that feudal superstition is dross? How can you face the country with this kind of behavior?"

Lin Xianghua glared angrily at Zhao Zhicheng, and the humiliating words she uttered without even thinking came out.

I don't know where Zhao Zhicheng and Lu Xuelian found this person, but he actually knows something. If we don't stop them quickly, what if they actually save Lu Chen?

They had originally planned to have Lu Xuelian and Zhao Zhicheng fawn over him, hoping to witness Lu Chen's death and break their hearts.

But now this plan can no longer continue.

"Xianghua, it's not like that, listen to me, this is really..."

Lu Xuelian immediately ran to Lin Xianghua's side to explain.

But Lin Xianghua simply waved her hand and coldly looked at Lu Xuelian, saying, "Lu Xuelian, you really will stop at nothing for your daughter. Do you think Lu Chen will believe you like this? That cold-blooded and ruthless man, no matter what you do, he will never be moved by you."

"Also, Lu Chen is my son. I won't allow you to do this superstitious stuff. You'd better leave right now, or I'll report you and your spouse to the military!"

Lin Xianghua couldn't hide her disgust for Lu Chen and her threat to Lu Xuelian and her husband. Now she was Lu Chen's mother, and her word was law when it came to Lu Chen's affairs.
