Chapter 85 I called it over to catch the evil spirits for me...

strangeness.

The old man calculated and calculated, but he couldn't find any information about the person who would break the deadlock. No, the other party wasn't human; they were more like an animal.

That evil spirit has a thousand years of cultivation; even a black dog would avoid it. It couldn't possibly have been exposed and devoured by a wild dog.

Cow? Horse? Sheep? Pig?

The old man couldn't imagine what kind of livestock would appear near that cemetery; at most, it could be domesticated animals.

What exactly happened in Huai County?!

The old man clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with a fierce light; he was determined to make a trip to Huai County himself.

The feng shui arrangement he had set up was ruined, Ren Zhongtian's son still hadn't woken up, Ren Zhongtian jumped to his death, and he still had half of the final payment to collect.

He had already spent all of the 100 million he had received. If the Ren family came to his door demanding an explanation, he wouldn't be able to come up with that much money to pay back.

The matter has already been resolved; there's no way to resolve it amicably.

A black minivan was parked under a streetlamp by the Sanshui River. Yan Qian drove it himself, without a driver or bodyguards following him.

He had been sitting in his car checking emails on his phone, and when his eyes started to feel tired, he logged out of the email app and looked out the window to relax.

Then, he witnessed the most shocking scene of his life.

A waterspout appeared on the Sanshui River. A giant dragon, about ten meters long, appeared and disappeared in the water wall. Its head was huge, and its eyes were like searchlights. It seemed to stare at him for a moment before disappearing into the riverbed in an instant.

Yan Qian broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly calmed down. He couldn't be mistaken; it really was a dragon.

The dragon is one of the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac, and there are many legends about dragons online...

Even if we assume it's not a dragon, there's another possibility: it's a jiao (a type of Chinese dragon).

But can a dragon fly?

Beyond his knowledge, Yan Qian picked up his phone and searched online. The internet said that jiao (a type of dragon) cannot fly; they live in rivers, lakes, and seas year-round, and only when a jiao transforms into a dragon can it fly.

So here's the question: why did the creature he just saw, which looked like a dragon, appear over the Sanshui River in the middle of the night?

Sanshui River!

Yan Qian paused, then immediately realized that there was only one possibility: it was related to Jiang Mingyue.

He got out of the car and ran towards the abandoned cemetery ahead when he encountered Jiang Mingyue slowly approaching.

He slowed his pace and walked to the streetlight to wait for her.

Jiang Mingyue tossed small pebbles in her hand, her eyes sparkling with excitement, and she hummed a little tune.

Yan Qian understood; the little girl had successfully broken the feng shui formation.

Jiang Mingyue looked up and saw Yan Qian under the streetlight. The man's features stood out in the night. Even though he was standing alone by the river, no one dared to come forward to cause trouble.

He's clearly no ordinary person, unless the other party is blind.

Jiang Mingyue threw away the pebbles and walked towards him unhurriedly.

"Mr. Yan, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

As the person approached, Yan Qian subtly glanced at her a few times. She was unharmed and clean, showing no signs of having been in a fight.

He breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness, I didn't check the time. I felt you'd be out soon."

Jiang Mingyue took out her phone and glanced at the time; it had been less than twenty minutes in total.

"It will be quick, thanks to you, everything goes smoothly."

Both of them knew perfectly well who they were owed the favor to, and neither of them took the polite words seriously.

Yan Qian didn't leave immediately. He told her what he had just seen and wanted to hear her opinion.

Faced with Yan Qian's probing tone, Jiang Mingyue simply said "oh," as it was a low-probability event for the Earth Dragon to be discovered.

Since Yan Qian had witnessed it, Jiang Mingyue didn't hide anything. "What you saw wasn't a dragon, it was a jiao (a type of dragon-like creature). I called it over to catch evil spirits for me."

Yan Qian was stunned, and his face instantly darkened.

Why did she have to explain it so casually, as if she were just talking about what to eat tomorrow?

Yan Qian raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling an indescribable weariness, the weariness of not being able to keep up with the big boss's thoughts.

If Jiang Mingyue can control a dragon, then rounding up, since a dragon transforms into a dragon upon entering the sea, wouldn't she be able to control a dragon?

Everyone has their own expertise, and he didn't know how many people in China could control dragons; to his knowledge, he only knew of one person at the moment.

This young girl has connections everywhere; it's a waste of her talents to stay in Huai County.

"Miss Jiang, have you considered the consequences of this matter? Perhaps I am not the only one who saw this dragon tonight."

Jiang Mingyue had certainly considered it, but she said dismissively, "President Yan, there have been various images of dragons being photographed online, but nothing ever came of it, and the authorities never stepped in to refute them. There are new things happening in this world every day, and netizens will forget about it soon."

Yan Qian admitted that what she said made sense, but he couldn't help but think it over more carefully, a habit he had developed since childhood.

"You have disrupted the feng shui of Biyue Garden. The people behind Ren Zhongtian may come to Huai County. You should be careful."

Jiang Mingyue waved her hand, appearing indifferent.

"Otherwise, why do you think I summoned the Earth Dragon to capture the evil spirit? He couldn't detect my presence."

The scent of a person.

Yan Qian suddenly realized that he didn't understand feng shui and metaphysics. He figured that the people behind Ren Zhongtian could only sense that the evil spirits had been taken away by livestock, and would never associate it with the dragon.

Hopefully, Ren Kai will keep his mouth shut.

"It doesn't matter what he said. If he dares to provoke me, I will take care of him on behalf of God."

The two returned to the car, and Jiang Mingyue fastened her seatbelt. "The abandoned cemetery is all taken care of. We can build whatever we want there. We have a way to deal with the waterlogging at Biyue Garden, but it will require Jinghua Group to invest a lot of money."

Yan Qian started the car and drove away from the riverside path, saying, "I'd like to hear the details."

Jiang Mingyue suggested that Jinghua Group build a covered bridge between Bishui Haoyuan and Jinghua Shoufu along the riverbank, for pedestrians only, and not for motor vehicles or non-motorized vehicles.

"The covered bridge is designed in the shape of a dragon, and the place where the dragon rises will naturally resolve the water evil."

Yan Qian carefully considered Jiang Mingyue's proposed plan: a covered bridge for pedestrians only.

The covered bridge is inexpensive to build and even makes it convenient for residents of Bishui Haoyuan to go to the vegetable market in the north, greatly shortening the cycling distance. It will definitely become the best scenic spot for taking photos in the future.

With Jinghua Group taking the lead, the Huai County municipal government will not refuse.

“That’s a good idea. I’ll arrange for someone to handle it tomorrow. Miss Jiang, name your price. I can’t let you do this for free.”

After a five-minute drive, they arrived at Biyue Garden. Ren Kai's secretary and Yan Qian's assistant bodyguard were waiting in the guardhouse. Seeing that they had returned safely, they rushed out to greet them.

Before getting out of the car, Jiang Mingyue looked at Yan Qian and said, "You don't need to pay me. When your film and television city project starts, I'll find you two workers to do the work."

"It's just a matter of a word." Yan Qian readily agreed, not bothering to tease her unnecessarily. "Miss Jiang is so good to her family."

“It’s a two-way street,” Jiang Mingyue said with a smile, then opened the door and got out of the car.

Half an hour later, Jiang Mingyue received her two million yuan reward and drove away from Biyue Garden. She left the follow-up work to Yan Qian and his group and stopped asking questions.

A week later, the acquisition of the Bishui Haoyuan residential complex by Jinghua Group made the news in Beijing and Huai County. Shortly after, news broke that the municipal government planned to build a covered bridge between the Jinghua Shoufu and Bishui Haoyuan residential complexes.

The people of Huai County can't understand these actions. It's not that the feng shui of Bishui Haoyuan Community is bad; it's that Jinghua Group has lost its mind and is doing a losing business.

A resident of Bishui Haoyuan took the opportunity to reveal, "Our community has excellent feng shui; even the dragon has graced the Sanshui River next to our community!"
