Chapter 45 The Instigator

Come to think of it, He Ming has connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, so it's perfectly normal for him to know some shady characters.

The Liu family was reduced to that wretched state; wasn't that all the work of that infamous Master Lin?

Fortunately, that thing died, otherwise it would have harmed countless people. However, it took ten years for the Liu family to suffer the backlash.

The He family has gone through more than ten years, with both elders passing away and now President He has become like this. If my guess is true, it's terrifying.

Were the others also manipulated by that person? If so, what exactly is Master Lin plotting?

If Gu Yunxi knew what her third brother was thinking, she would definitely give him a thumbs up:

Third Brother, you really have the makings of a detective. You're like a reincarnation of Gongsun Ce. How can your reasoning ability be so strong?

"Miss Gu, can you figure out who is trying to harm our He family? Such a wicked person must be eliminated."

He Sihan crossed his legs, tapping the edge of the sofa with one hand. Gu Yunxi was envious of his well-defined fingers.

She looked at her hands and noticed that after several days of care, the calluses on them had significantly decreased.

However, compared to He Sihan, he is far inferior.

"Ahem!" Gu Yunlang coughed, and Gu Yunxi finally came back to her senses.

"I haven't figured out who this person is yet, but since he's gone to such lengths to kill your He family, he won't get away with this!"

well!

As expected of my younger sister, she speaks so tactfully, even she herself guessed that the two shrewd people in the He family were right.

Didn't you guess? The culprit behind all this is their grandfather.

"Big brother, do you think it could be Grandpa?"

He Sichen asked him timidly, as if he were the most normal person in the entire He family.

The whole family respected and respected him. Since retiring from the group, Grandpa seemed to have stopped caring about anything related to the company.

Aside from eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist prayers every day, it seems like he just goes out to enjoy his retirement life, but his body is getting stronger every day!

I remember more than ten years ago, when he was just a child, his grandfather's health was already failing.

The doctor issued a critical condition notice several times. At that time, the He Group had already reached the top position in Jiangcheng.

Later, for some reason, he started to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures. Most importantly, from that time on, a person who was on the verge of death gradually recovered.

Even now, apart from his hair being a little white—no, it seems his hair is slowly turning black again.

Although his hair looks a bit white, I noticed last time I was very close to him that his hair roots were actually black.

Most notably, he was surprised to find that his teeth seemed to have changed as well.

That's absolutely right, Grandpa is starting to rejuvenate.

"Um!"

When he uttered that "hmm," all three of them looked at him. Could it be that He Sihan had already guessed it?

"All indications suggest that the mastermind is most likely Grandpa, but we can't alert him yet. After all, based on my understanding of him, he would never do anything crooked or evil."

Unless one knows someone, or is introduced by someone, to a so-called malicious person, and uses such insidious means to prolong his life.

"Why?"

He Sichen stood up angrily, "No, brother, we only have suspicions, we don't have conclusive evidence. Maybe that person isn't Grandpa."

Over the years, Grandpa has been very good to them. Although he doesn't pay much attention to company affairs, he still offers advice on some important matters.

He was doing it for the good of the He family, so why would he want to harm these younger generations?

Let's go!

He Sihan stood up!

"Where to?" the three asked in unison.

"We suspect him, and since the backyard is a forbidden area in our house, let's go and see what secrets it holds today."

“But brother, Grandpa has always forbidden us from going into that place, hasn’t he? After all these years, we haven’t been there, and we’ve gotten used to it.”

"Precisely because of this, the more this matter is related to him."

Gu Yunxi followed He Sihan to the roof of the villa, found a safe place, and put the talisman away!

Then, after patting the talisman, a miraculous thing happened: the talisman disappeared!

She had originally intended to let He Sihan release it himself, but then she thought that if that ruthless person was still alive, he would definitely discover it and secretly switch it, which would be even more troublesome.

After doing all this, the group went to the backyard.

The gate to the ancestral hall courtyard was locked, and none of them had the key. The only one who could open the gate was Gu Yunxi!

"It's actually a Luban lock. This old man is really careful. Even if you hand it over to locksmiths, most people wouldn't be able to handle it."

Yes, He Sihan had tried to probe secretly before, but he couldn't find a way to do it.

With a gentle tug, Gu Yunxi opened the lock. If the old man saw this, he would be ashamed that his custom-made Luban lock, which cost millions, could be easily opened by a little girl.

I bet he was so angry he fainted on the spot!

"Miss Gu, you have some impressive skills!"

He Sichen gave a thumbs up.

No wonder Grandpa was at ease and not afraid of anyone entering the ancestral hall. It would probably take professionals several days and nights to open just this one lock.

They were very familiar with the courtyard, as they would come in several times every year.

Surprisingly, the old man had cleaned it quite well, but the room inside wasn't locked!

If you say the old man is cautious, then there's a lock worth millions at the door; if you say he's not cautious, then the rooms inside the house are all locked.

"Mr. He, please open this door."

He Sihan stepped forward and gently pushed open the door. Instantly, a chill rushed straight to the top of his head.

He almost fell backward, but luckily Gu Yunlang caught him.

Last night I secretly hid in the shadows and watched the ancestral hall, but I didn't expect to find it to be so big today.

The group went inside and found nothing wrong with the room except that it was cold.

"How strange. Although it's June, given the location of this ancestral hall, it should be stuffy and hot inside. Why does it feel like we're in an ice cellar?"

He Sichen rubbed his hands together. "Miss Gu, there's nothing wrong with this room."

Just as I was about to go forward to offer incense to my ancestors, I thought that if I made any noise, my grandfather would definitely notice, so I knelt down and kowtowed a few times.

Kneeling down revealed a hidden treasure trove beneath the table.

Gently lifting the curtain beneath the cabinet, he exclaimed in surprise, "Look, what's this?"

He Sihan also squatted down!

Just like what Gu Yunxi saw last night, a small golden figure was tied with five red threads, and the other end of each thread was tied to a memorial tablet.

"Big brother, Grandpa is really strange. He actually set up memorial tablets for the two of us and Xiaona. He really wants to kill us."

He Sichen suddenly turned his gaze to Gu Yunxi, "Miss Gu, no... Master Gu, please save us, Grandpa really wants to kill us."

"Both of you, Mr. He, please get up. This thing of his is useless now. Even if he devotes himself to vegetarianism and chanting Buddhist scriptures, what he took from you will slowly come back to haunt him!"

Remember what I said: distribute those talismans to your family members and keep them close to your bodies. Even if anyone tries to harm you again, no one can change your fortune and destiny.
