The Wen family's long-lost daughter has returned! It’s rumored that the real heiress ranked last in every school exam and even went around deceiving people, promoting feudal superstitions. Ev...
Huo Yinghuai stopped and turned around, his dark and deep gaze fixed on Wen Li.
Although he didn't believe in ghosts and metaphysics, he inexplicably felt that Wen Li wouldn't lie.
Wen Li let the other person look her over, but her expression was more serious than ever: "There's something wrong with your aura. If you go there, something bad might happen."
The assistant, not expecting Wen Li to still be promoting feudal superstitions at this moment, quickly explained, "Ms. Wen, this land is very important to our CEO. If there are any problems with the land, our CEO Huo..."
“He’ll most likely die if he goes,” Wen Li said calmly. “If I’m not mistaken, there’s been more than one accident at the construction site. Strange things have been happening frequently since the land was bought, right?”
Although Wen Li's words were a question, they conveyed a sense of certainty.
Huo Yinghuai was also slightly taken aback, but then admitted it.
In just a few words, Huo Yinghuai became completely convinced that Wen Li really did possess some mystical abilities.
After a while, Huo Yinghuai dismissed his assistant and explained gently, "Although I am in charge of the family, there is discord within the family. My uncles and aunts from the collateral branches are all watching. This piece of land is being developed by the government. If the development is successful, it will only benefit me and not harm me. So I must go there no matter what."
Wen Li narrowed her eyes. In just a few minutes, she noticed that Huo Yinghuai's aura had become even stronger.
"Then I'll go with you."
Huo Yinghuai froze, his eyes filled with disbelief.
After finishing the last bite of cake, Wen Li wiped her mouth and murmured, "You're my lucky charm. If you die, I won't have any pocket money left."
Huo Yinghuai: I guess I overestimated it after all.
An hour later, the black Phaeton discreetly pulled up near the construction site.
The building at the construction site was already twenty stories high, and at this moment, a lot of media and police had gathered downstairs, with the headlights of police cars flashing incessantly.
Wen Li didn't dare to get out when she saw the police car.
Huo Yinghuai looked over curiously and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wen Li swallowed hard and gave the policeman a sly look: "To be honest, I'm a little afraid of the police."
She and her master were so poor before that after they went down the mountain, they secretly told fortunes in the town. As a result, they were chased by the police. From then on, Wen Li's legs would go weak whenever she saw the police.
Although Huo Yinghuai was unaware of Wen Li's past, he thought of her previous life and his voice softened slightly: "The police won't arrest you."
Wen Li nodded: "I know."
It's just a subconscious physiological reaction.
Wen Li mustered her courage and got out of the car. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the police hadn't paid any attention to her.
Just then, the media spotted Huo Yinghuai and bombarded him with cameras and microphones.
"Mr. Huo, what is your opinion on the worker jumping off the building?"
"Mr. Huo, I heard that Huo Group's stock has been falling for an hour..."
At this moment, many reporters saw Huo Yinghuai and rushed forward to interview him, while Wen Li was pushed out of the crowd.
Fortunately, Fok Ying-huai had made preparations in advance, and bodyguards quickly arrived to evacuate the crowd.
The situation is unclear, and he cannot give the media any opportunity to speculate.
Huo Yinghuai gave him a single glance, and the previously impatient media immediately shut up.
Huo Yinghuai was not someone to be trifled with. They were certain that if someone made up a story later, not only would they themselves suffer, but the entire company might also be implicated. So everyone silently put away their microphones.
The group arrived at the bottom of the building where the worker had jumped. Wen Li first looked around.
The terrain is flat and suitable, and it is a rare and auspicious place for gathering and retaining energy. However, at this moment, the surroundings are dark and black energy is constantly rising from the ground.
"Huo Yinghuai, this piece of land has good feng shui, but it has been tampered with, which is why all sorts of accidents have occurred."
Currently, these are just minor misfortunes, resulting in only some financial losses, but in the long run, they will become major disasters.
"Is there a way?" Huo Yinghuai tilted his head, looking intently at Wen Li.
"Yes, there is..."
Before she could finish speaking, Wen Li suddenly heard a gasp from behind her.
Huo Yinghuai and Wen Li looked up at the same time and saw that the migrant worker who was about to jump off the building had already stepped out with one foot.
The next second, he fell straight down.
Panic immediately erupted from the crowd.
And the landing point was right where Huo Yinghuai was standing.
If he hadn't managed to dodge, Huo Yinghuai would certainly have been in grave danger.
At this moment, Huo Yinghuai wanted to run away, but his feet seemed to be rooted to the spot and he couldn't move an inch.
Seeing this, Wen Li took out a yellow talisman from her pocket and struck Huo Yinghuai on the chest. With a hum, the talisman burned to ashes, and Huo Yinghuai was pushed back a few steps by Wen Li.
But it was too late for Wen Li to hide.
The expected scene of brains scattered all over the ground did not occur. No one saw Wen Li's actions clearly. They only heard a bang, and Wen Li rolled on the ground with the worker who jumped off the building.
The air fell silent for a moment.
Huo Yinghuai was the first to react: "Wen Li!"
Wen Li got up from the ground, dusted herself off, and was heartbroken to find a tear in her sleeve.
"I'm fine." Wen Li looked at the bewildered worker still lying on the ground and couldn't help but say, "If you were thinking of doing something rash, why did you jump off a building?"
Wen Li didn't give the other person a chance to speak and continued, "If you die, won't the property prices drop? Your life is valuable, but other people's money isn't?"
The media and police who arrived at the scene: ...
That seems to make sense.
"What do you know!" The worker was stunned and took a while to react. He pointed at Huo Yinghuai and said, "I've been working on the construction site for three months, and not only did they pay me less than my wages, they also fired me. My mother is still in the hospital, and they can't even pay the hospital fees. Now that they've fired me, where am I going to get the money to pay my mother's hospital fees? I might as well be dead!"
