"But I've always wanted to pursue my own happiness since I was a child, and I refused to agree no matter what."

"That family business failed, and we suffered a huge loss. My father was furious and kicked me out of the house. Later, my mother secretly bought most of the building here for me, so I could make a living outside the city."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen's eyes, which were originally full of sympathy, turned into astonishment, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Damn!

Even if you are down and out, you can still buy half a building in Jiangbei City.

If I hadn't awakened the system, I might not be able to buy a good house here in this lifetime. What right do I have to sympathize with others?

"Wait, Sister Hong, what's your last name?" Jiang Chen asked thoughtfully.

Sister Hong pursed her lips and said inexplicably shyly, "My real name is Gu Hongya. Since I don't want others to mention my family, I only let others call me Sister Hong after I got here."

"Gu family?"

"Yes." Sister Hong nodded.

Jiang Chen looked at her strangely. The last time he saw a box of property certificates, he just thought Sister Hong was a rich woman.

I didn’t expect she was such a rich woman!

The Gu family is one of the largest tycoons in Jiangbei City, more powerful than the Zheng and Li families. Except for those eccentric families, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the local emperor of Jiangbei.

Sister Hong is the daughter of the head of the Gu family chaebol. With her status, it would be effortless for her to buy up not only half of the building but also the Jiangyuan community.

"But I broke off relations with my family a long time ago." Sister Hong curled her lips slightly, somewhat dissatisfied. "In ten years, he hasn't come to see me once, not even once called me. Is there really a father like that?"

Jiang Chen smiled and didn't respond.

"My mom called last time and said a lot of strange things have been happening at home lately. My brother and sister-in-law have all encountered various accidents. My...father also fell ill a few days ago. Even the best doctors in Kyushu were helpless."

"A master said it wasn't a disease, but rather a demonic presence. My father asked that person to go to our villa halfway up the mountain to take a look. But that night, the master disappeared. The next day, someone found him dead behind the villa, his body strangely hanging upside down from a tree."

"My father later sought help from some so-called experts, but nothing worked. He finally decided to move. But after we moved to another area, strange things continued to happen."

"In the end, he became so ill that he asked his family to find someone who could resolve the issue. He also announced that he would be retiring soon after he recovered from his illness, and that whoever could resolve the issue would be the next head of the company."

"For this reason, my brothers, sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces have all spent a lot of money to find someone outside, and my mother asked me to try too."

"I never thought about inheriting the family business, but..." Gu Hongya bit her lower lip and said, "I don't want my mother to be in danger! I heard that several people in the family have died. I'm afraid she really ran into something evil."

Jiang Chen understood roughly after hearing this: "Okay, when are we going?"

"My first and third brothers have also found many experts. I won't compete with them. If they can solve it, that would be great. If not, I will ask my mother tomorrow and then we can go again."

But she knew that Jiang Chen was a truly talented master. He pushed the terrifying female ghost down from the tenth floor and smashed her into pieces.

So he was regarded as the last trump card.

"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded.

It just so happened that he also had a mission every day.

After finishing his meal, he went back to his room, turned on his phone, and checked the task information that Chen Xue had sent him earlier.

"Event Name: Xiangyang Middle School"

"Description: Ever since that student died, her name has been written all over the desks, her image has been drawn all over the books, and everyone has heard her voice at midnight—Don't be afraid, we will all come back after we die, right?"

"Threat Level: D+."

"Task type: Body."

"Basic reward: 180 points (per person)."
