Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “su...
Chapter 1225 Borrowing Your Merit (8)
After finishing the painting, Li Shichu suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped Zhong Weizheng's chest. The talisman drawn on his chest immediately emitted a dazzling light. Before Zhong Weizheng had time to be surprised, he instantly felt a swift pulling force pulling him hard. Then his eyes went dark and his body sank. When he opened his eyes again, he felt that his vision had changed and his body was very heavy.
"Okay, you're back." Li Shichu's cold voice reached his ears. Zhong Weizheng looked and found that he had indeed returned to his body on the bed. He raised his hand and shook it with some curiosity, saying, "I feel that my whole body has become much heavier since I returned to my body."
"This is normal. Once you get used to it, you won't feel this way anymore." Li Shichu replied, and then reminded him, "Get more sun and eat good food to replenish your body. The soul leaving the body does not mean it will have no effect once it returns to the body."
"Okay, I'll remember that. Thank you." Zhong Weizheng got off the bed, took stiff steps, and slowly walked to the drawer. He took out a business card and handed it to Li Shichu. "My contact information is on it. Thanks to your help, I was able to return safely this time. From now on, you will be my benefactor. You can come to me if you need help."
Li Shichu took his business card and looked at it: "Zhong Weizheng, Chairman and CEO of Tianfeng Venture Capital Company."
She thought about it and finally remembered where she had seen this name! A while ago, the news media had reported extensively on the Zhong family's dispute over the inheritance. When everyone was guessing who would be the final winner, suddenly a previously unknown Zhong family member bankrupted the Zhong family in one fell swoop, with a ruthless attitude of "If I can't get it, then I'll destroy it"...
"You are the Zhong Weizheng who destroyed his family's inherited company by himself but turned out to be self-reliant and successful?!" Li Shichu exclaimed, "No wonder you were driven out of your body. It seems that your self-destructive behavior is quite hateful."
Zhong Weizheng smiled faintly on his well-defined face and said, "That's not my foundation, so it can't be considered self-destruction. And that kind of dirty business shouldn't exist in the first place. If it's fine, I can't destroy it even if I want to - I'm a good citizen and I don't engage in illegal criminal activities."
Li Shichu was very curious and couldn't help asking, "Do you have any hatred against your family that is why you want to destroy the Zhong family's foundation?"
Zhong Weizheng nodded. "Zhong Yu was young and hot-tempered, so he resisted his family's marriage request and married my mother, who was an ordinary person, and gave birth to me. But later he found that this marriage was not only useless in the competition for the heir of the Zhong family, but was actually a burden. So he woke up and kicked me and my mother out without hesitation, and remarried a wife who could help him. My mother worked herself to death to support me, and she died when I was seventeen... I think it's a good idea to use the Zhong Group to bury my mother."
Li Shichu gave him a thumbs up: "You are such a ruthless person, well done."
"Don't you think I've gone too far?" Zhong Weizheng raised his eyebrows and asked her, "After I destroyed the Zhong Group, many people thought that I was too cruel and irrational. I should go back and take the Zhong Group into my own hands, and make those people who hate me but can't do anything to me have to rely on me for their livelihood. That would be the best revenge."
Li Shichu said disapprovingly: "So what if you get it? Unless you have all the shares, wouldn't you be working hard to support your enemy? Isn't that stupid?"
Zhong Weizheng couldn't help but chuckle when he heard her words: "You're right. I spent a lot of effort to grab a complicated mess and then exhausted myself to feed my enemies. I might as well set up a stall on the street if I have the time."
"Okay, which enemy do you think is most likely to cause your soul to leave you?" Li Shichu asked him.
Zhong Weizheng thought for a moment and said, "Of course it's my good father Zhong Yu. He finally succeeded and was the head of the Zhong Group for more than ten years. But I kicked him off the throne out of the blue. He must hate me to death."
"In order to let your soul leave your body, we need your nails, blood and fetal hair as a medium. These things are indeed not something ordinary people can get, especially the fetal hair. You guessed that it was your father who did it, which is very likely. But in order to avoid wrongly accusing a good person, I need your blood to verify it." Li Shichu said.
"Wrongly accuse a good person?" Zhong Weizheng smiled, and then asked without hesitation, "Okay, how much blood do you need?"
"Just one drop will be enough." Li Shichu said, took out a needle, pinched his finger, and pricked it gently. A drop of blood emerged from his finger.
Li Shichu took the drop of blood, and whispered a few mysterious words. Suddenly, he said to Zhong Weizheng, "Tell me your birth date!"
Zhong Weizheng told his birth date without hesitation, and Li Shichu repeated it in an unknown language. Then after a while, a thin golden flame suddenly emerged from the drop of blood, and then burned rapidly, soon burning up the drop of blood.
Zhong Weizheng looked at the scene in front of him in amazement and asked her: "My blood is burning, why is this happening?"
"The fire is golden, which proves that the closest person to you who gave you your blood cursed you. Usually it refers to your parents, but since you said your mother has passed away, the only person left can be your biological father. You are right."
Zhong Weizheng was not surprised at all, and asked her: "Since he has cursed me like this, can I return the favor? Let him also have a taste of what it's like to have his soul leave his body?"
"There's no need. I broke his Soul-Separation Curse, and he's now suffering the backlash. Casting this kind of curse that is against the harmony of nature will not only cause serious injuries but also shorten his lifespan. You have already taken revenge." Li Shichu explained.
Zhong Weizheng seemed a little regretful when he heard her words: "That's really a bargain for him."
"By the way, I don't think I know your name yet?" Zhong Weizheng finally remembered this question. "If I have any questions in this area in the future, I'll have to ask you for help."
"My name is Li Shichu." Li Shichu replied, "In addition to removing curses and summoning spirits, I can also read feng shui, physiognomy, fortune telling, and medical skills... If you have any of these needs, you can come to me. If you do a lot of business, I can even give you a discount."
"Of course, I will only help you because you haven't done anything evil and have done many good deeds. If you do something evil, I won't care about you. I won't do things like aiding and abetting evil." Li Shichu stated in advance.
"Don't worry, although I will take revenge, I will never do anything evil." Zhong Weizheng said seriously.
