Huo Yinghuai ignored the conflicted look on his third uncle's face and turned his attention directly to his fourth uncle.

Uncle Huo is still very young. He is the youngest son of the Huo family patriarch and is well-liked by the two elders in the Huo family.

However, after the two elderly people passed away, this strong-willed youngest uncle seemed to suddenly fall silent.

Thinking back to Wen Li's expression just now, although she concealed it well, Huo Yinghuai knew Wen Li very well. She was usually like a cheerful person, talking very quirkyly, but when something really happened, she became very serious.

Wen Li said that her two uncles might have problems; her third uncle didn't have the brains, but her fourth uncle might.

Huo Yingwei pondered for a few seconds, and having already figured it out perfectly, he asked, "Fourth Uncle, what about you?"

Beneath his suit sleeve, Uncle Huo's hand clenched tightly for two seconds before falling to his sides.

He said, "I'd rather just keep receiving dividends."

Uncle Huo looked over immediately: "Fourth brother, are you out of your mind?"

Despite the Huo family's wealth, all the money is in Huo Yinghuai's hands; his uncles can only receive a share of the profits.

If you are law-abiding and honest, you will never have to worry about food and clothing in your life. But if your nephew is so outstanding, what will outsiders think if you, as his uncles, just sit around doing nothing?

The fourth brother had previously said he wanted the eldest brother's piece of land, but now he doesn't want it anymore?

When Uncle Huo Si suddenly gave up, Uncle Huo San's eyes widened in surprise.

Huo Yinghuai was somewhat surprised. He knew from the beginning that the person who wanted that piece of land was his youngest uncle, and his third uncle had been causing trouble at the company for more than a month. Now he was just saying he didn't want it anymore?

Huo Yinghuai did not show any surprise on his face, but followed up on what his fourth uncle said: "If you want to practice in the company in the future, you can come to the company anytime."

"I definitely won't stand on ceremony with my nephew then," Uncle Huo said gently.

Huo Yinghuai went downstairs to see the two off. When he returned to his office, Wen Li was lying on the sofa deep in thought.

Hearing the door open, Wen Li looked up slightly at the doorway.

"Your uncle has left?"

"Hmm." Huo Yinghuai asked directly, "Did you notice something wrong with Fourth Uncle?"

Wen Li didn't hide anything: "Your fourth uncle has a very strong ghostly aura, and there's a ghost crawling on his back."

Wen Li compared the size: "He looked about five or six years old, with empty eyes and his ears had been gouged out. I suspect he was a child devil because of that, but—"

Wen Li paused as she spoke.

Upon hearing the child's age, Huo Yinghuai had a vague idea of ​​what was going on and quickly asked, "But what?"

Wen Li's tone became much more serious: "The Siamese ghost-raising technique usually raises child ghosts like these. The child ghosts have their eyes, noses, and ears gouged out as soon as they are born. The child ghosts do not know who killed them and can only be used by people."

"But there is one requirement for raising a ghost child: the child ghost must be related to the person who controls it by blood."

The little ghost behind Uncle Huo looks like it's been around for a long time, and it seems to stick to him a lot, so it's obvious that he makes offerings to it often.

Raising a ghost takes time, and judging from the ghost's age, Uncle Huo must have been secretly supporting it for several years.

Huo Yinghuai was startled upon hearing this.

Wen Li was right about everything.

"Six years ago, my fourth uncle suddenly brought a woman home, and they quickly got married. The woman became pregnant very quickly, but then she was in a car accident and lost both her and her child."

At that time, the Huo family had not yet been established, and Huo Yinghuai was still studying at a university abroad. He heard about these things later, so he didn't have a deep impression of them.

"You suspect that the child back then was the little devil that Fourth Uncle raised?"

Wen Li nodded: "At least we can be sure that your fourth uncle and the little devil are related. Moreover, I have seen your fourth uncle's face. He once had a child, but the child died suddenly. His marital relationship was not harmonious. He may have had other purposes when he suddenly got married."

After saying that, Wen Li revealed an even crueler truth: "The little devil can steal people's luck. Your fourth uncle has a thin layer of golden light on him, which must have been stolen from you."

However, Huo Yinghuai showed no surprise at all after Wen Li finished speaking.

For a moment, the empty office became even more silent.

Wen Li held her head high, waiting for Huo Yinghuan's decision.

Huo Yinghuai was a few steps away from Wen Li; one was standing, and the other was sitting.

After a while, the man finally moved. He sat down next to Wen Li and suddenly said, "I had doubts about him before too."

Uncle Huo was the youngest son of Old Master Huo, and was only a dozen years younger than Huo Yinghuai. From childhood to adulthood, in Huo Yinghuai's memory, his fourth uncle was an excellent student and everyone thought he was the future successor.

However, a few years ago, his father became the successor, and since then, Uncle Huo suddenly became a different person, his whole demeanor gloomy.

He was studying at a university abroad when his parents passed away. On the day they died, his parents drove him to the resort to rest, but an accident happened on the way. The autopsy determined it was an accident.

His father suffered a heart attack, and the car plunged off a cliff, with no survivors.

But only Huo Yinghuai knew that his father had a medical check-up just two days before the accident, and his heart was perfectly fine.

In order to investigate the cause of his parents' death, he took control of the Huo family, but after so many years he found nothing. The only people he suspected were his eldest uncle and his fourth uncle.

"How about we go to your fourth uncle's house tonight to take a look?" Wen Li said, "No matter what, raising a child ghost is going against the will of heaven. He uses the child ghost to absorb your talent, causing your luck to be low and accidents to happen frequently. If it is related to your parents, they probably used the same method."

Furthermore, how exactly did Huo's eldest uncle and fourth uncle come into contact with these fake Taoist priests?

How many more incidents like this are happening in City A, or even across the entire country?

——

Night fell.

Wen Li sat in the passenger seat, her eyes fixed on the ever-changing scenery outside.

Half of the streetlights on both sides were broken, making the entire road dark and with very few vehicles.

Huo Yinghuai turned on the low beam headlights and sped across the highway.

Four or five black vans followed closely behind them.

When Wen Li noticed, these cars had already been following her for quite a while.

"It seems like we're being followed."

After hearing this, Huo Yinghuai looked at the rearview mirror and indeed found that several cars had appeared behind him at some point.

It seems that Uncle Si was prepared today.

Huo Yinghuai saw that there were about six cars behind him, four flanking him, and two closely following behind.

"Hold on tight."

After Huo Yinghuai finished speaking, he slammed on the gas pedal, and the black luxury car shot out like a sharp sword.

On the other side, a man holding a walkie-talkie was slowly holding the phone, his voice hoarse as he said to the person on the other end, "Boss, we've been discovered."

"Don't let them leave alive."

"yes."
