Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Those are the marks of beating and abuse
After hearing Su Yun's thorny words, Su Lin felt a headache: "What problem can I ask you to solve? I still hope your parents can come over."
Su Yun was even more puzzled: "What on earth is it that requires my parents to come back and I can't do it? I have the right to know about murder and arson, right?"
But Su Lin just kept rubbing his head and didn't answer directly: "I can't make up my mind about this, don't worry about it for now, what's the situation over there?"
Since Su Lin refused to say anything, Su Yun simply let it go. After all, she wasn't the one who would die if she kept hiding things, so she didn't insist.
"I said it very clearly on the phone. Among the people at the negotiation meeting that day, one was influenced by your Su family. She just happened to be my mother's best friend. They had been good friends before I was born. Shouldn't you give an explanation?" Su Yun repeatedly raised He Yuanjuan's status just to give Su Lin a sense of oppression.
He Yuanjuan and Ji Weitang can only be considered colleagues with a good relationship, and they haven't seen each other for many years. But if she was just an ordinary guest, Su Lin would not care at all. He would just say it has nothing to do with him.
In order to force the truth out of Su Lin's mouth, Ji Weitang can only be used to pressure him. If Su Lin still wants to rely on Ji Weitang and Su Yiling to solve the Su family's problems, he will have to bow his head this time.
But Su Lin was no pushover. He said directly, "Before you came, I asked around. None of the people who came to the negotiation meeting had any special connection with your parents. You are just trying to trick me."
Su Yun raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Are you so sure? There are some things I thought you knew very well. It seems that my parents are really capable and have covered up their whereabouts very well."
The ambiguous words made people uncomfortable. Su Lin asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean?"
"The Su family secretly took me away for so many years, and my parents have never stopped looking for me. In order to find me, they even alienated many of their former friends. Those people thought that they had gone crazy because of losing their daughter. You don't think that they are looking for me without caring about their friends, so they really have no friends?" Su Yun stared at Su Lin with a smile.
These words were not pleasant to hear. Su Lin knew that the Su family had done something unkind in stealing Su Yun away, so even though they knew she was fake, they did not treat her badly during those years. It was just that it was difficult for them to really treat her as a relative.
However, now he needs help from others, and Su Lin is not sure whether there is really anyone at the negotiation meeting who had a good relationship with Ji Weitang in the past, but just happened to become estranged because of Su Yun's disappearance.
Although they don't say it, many people actually understand that if a couple goes crazy just because of one child, everyone around them will not be able to stand it and will gradually distance themselves from them, not to mention Ji Weitong and Su Yiling who are almost fully focused on finding their child.
Su Lin could imagine that in the first few years, Ji Weitong and Su Yiling's lives must have been a mess. They lost their jobs, had no source of income, and had to go around asking friends if they had seen their children. It was only because they had no other family members that they would have been sent to a mental hospital long ago.
But later on, Ji Weitang and Su Yiling still made achievements, and their madness was not worth mentioning. It was not impossible for them to gradually reconcile with their friends at this time.
Being controlled by others, Su Lin couldn't say anything too extreme. He gave in a step and said, "So what do you want?"
Su Yun said directly: "I want to go to the place where you are negotiating. I am not here to argue with you about the dispute between the two families. I just want to save people. As for the situation in your family, since you don't want me to intervene, then I don't care. Anyway, I won't accept your order."
This was considered a step back for both parties, but Su Lin was still hesitant. He didn't know whether he should let Su Yun go and see. But Su Yun was also trying to save people. That was the order she took. According to Su Yun's personality, she would twist off the head of anyone who dared to ruin her business.
The Su family is in trouble now and cannot afford to provoke Su Yun, this evil star. Moreover, the Su family still needs help from Ji Weitong and Su Yiling.
After hesitating for a long time, Su Lin said hesitantly: "The place for negotiation is the Su Family Manor, which is where we used to live. I can take you back, but you promise to only investigate the accident and not to investigate everywhere. I know that people like you can figure out most of the details just by looking at the Feng Shui of a place."
"Then how do I know if what I want to check is something you don't want me to see? Aren't you just forcing me?" Su Yun was so angry that he laughed. He had never seen such an unreasonable request.
After Su Lin finished speaking, he felt that his request was too strange. He was not sure whether the affected people were related to the current problems of the Su family. Sometimes, if one thing was concealed, other things would be covered up as well, which was very inconvenient.
Unable to find a solution, Su Lin finally agreed reluctantly and took Su Yun back to the Su family manor before making plans.
Since leaving the Su family, Su Yun has never been back. However, she still remembers everything in the Su family manor. She grew up there. Now that she goes back, she feels a little nostalgic.
When she was a child, she was carefree and didn’t understand the twists and turns between adults. To Su Yun, the manor was just a fun castle for children. Only when she grew up did she realize the difference in treatment between herself and her brother.
Thinking about what happened later, nostalgia turned into regret. If she had grown up with Ji Weitong and Su Yiling, she would probably have more warm memories instead of just an empty manor that did not belong to her.
The tea garden was quite far away from the manor. When they arrived, it was almost dawn. Su Lin's car was driving in front and Lin Lang followed behind. Su Yun dozed off for a while on the way. After arriving, the car stopped in front of the main building of the manor.
Su Yun opened his eyes and looked inside. Everything on his appearance was the same, but something just didn't seem right. So he turned around and looked at Lin Lang, asking him with his eyes what he felt.
Lin Lang said directly: "This place will suck away your luck, very badly. If an ordinary person walks around here, he will probably be unlucky for half his life."
The consequence is very serious. If an ordinary person just comes to work in the Su family manor, he will be unlucky for half his life, which is totally not worth it.
Su Lin had already gotten out of the car and was standing in front of the door waiting. Judging from his expression, he was still hesitant.
Su Yun opened the car door and got out, then walked up to Su Lin and asked, "How long has the Su family's special situation been going on?"
"How long?" Su Lin retorted subconsciously.
"The Su family manor is almost draining the money from ordinary people, right? What did you do? My mother's friend only came to attend the symposium, but she was implicated and her daughter almost lost her life. You have been looking for my parents just to resolve this matter?" Su Yun didn't want to test each other anymore, so he got straight to the point and asked a series of questions.
As Su Yun pressed on, Su Lin's eyes widened. He knew that people like Su Yun would know something was wrong just by looking at him.
Su Lin asked the secretary to leave first, and then lowered his voice and said to Su Yun: "Don't be so loud, come in and talk."
Afterwards, Su Lin took Su Yun and Lin Lang to the previous reception room. The butler brought them tea. He was stunned when he saw Su Yun. He didn't expect that the former lady had come back.
There were only three of them in the living room. Su Yun knocked on the table and said, "Hey, are you pretending to be dead? I don't care what you are hiding. If this matter is not resolved, other families will be implicated and the Su family will be beaten up sooner or later."
Su Lin, who had been sitting in the main seat with his eyes downcast in deep thought, finally raised his head and looked at Lin Lang: "Your men..."
"He can't leave. He can hear everything I can hear. Who will protect me if he leaves?" Su Yun knew what he wanted to say as soon as he heard it and refused directly.
Su Lin was surprised: "He is a bodyguard? It doesn't seem like it."
Being dragged off the topic again, Su Yun said unhappily: "Why do you care whether he looks like it or not? If you don't tell me, I'll let him beat you up and you'll know whether he looks like it or not."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Lang pulled out his sword and thrust it into the long table. The sword looked a little old, as if it could be broken with a single bend, yet it actually pierced through the solid wood table.
The two of them cooperated very closely and tacitly. Su Lin's eyelids twitched, and he felt like he had invited a plague god home: "You, you ask your men to collect the things. Let me think about it."
Su Yun wanted to roll his eyes at him: "What are you thinking about? Well, I've decided. Since the Feng Shui of your place is faulty, just let Lin Lang cut it off with one sword. You can slowly pay for the karma and influence later. I'll save people first."
When Lin Lang heard this, he drew his sword and was about to attack. Su Lin hurriedly stopped him: "Stop, stop, stop. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"How can I not be anxious when human lives are at stake?" Su Yun felt that Su Lin was the one with the problem.
Su Lin grabbed his hair fiercely: "Let's...discuss it..."
It was just a matter of one sentence. Su Yun didn't understand what was there to discuss and was not happy: "What is there to discuss? Aren't you guys anxious to get my parents to handle this for you? It would be the same if I handled it."
Facing Su Yun's repeated doubts, Su Lin held it in for a long time before finally saying, "It's different..."
Su Yun laughed angrily: "If you keep acting like a repeater, I will do it to you. I am not kidding you."
Seeing that Su Yun was about to take action, Su Lin hesitated and said, "A few years ago... my father reached a deal with a master. I don't know the specific content of the deal, but I am sure that the Su family made a deal with the other party, which I don't know if it is appropriate."
Su Yun could only think of one master related to the Su family: "Master Ziyuan?"
Unexpectedly, Su Lin shook his head and said, "No, Master Ziyuan invited you here and said that your fate is precious and stable. Wherever you are, their family will become rich and powerful, but it must be a place where you sincerely stay. Therefore, the Su family decided to cooperate with Master Ziyuan, steal you and change your identity."
It cannot be said that the Su family's business is bad, but if people can get greater profits with less cost, everyone will be willing to do it. It is just a kind of opportunism.
Just like when the times change, many old industries go bankrupt due to their old age, and they need to change and innovate in many ways to survive the difficulties.
Before the financial crisis broke out, the Su family had already sensed that a storm was coming. It was an opportunity as well as a crisis. If they didn't use unconventional methods, they would have to put in a lot of effort. But that year, the elders of the Su family all fell ill and were hospitalized one after another, which was very strange.
Of course, from Su Yun's perspective now, it is not necessarily the work of Master Ziyuan.
In short, faced with various unexpected events, Su's father chose to believe in Master Ziyuan and stole Su Yun away.
But since Su Yun came to the Su family, the situation has indeed improved day by day. The Su family has safely survived many market crises, retained the identity of an old family, and now has a place in Bincheng.
Then, when the time came, it was difficult for the Su family to go from extravagant to frugal, and they wanted Su Yun and Su Yun to exchange their fates in order to maintain the good luck of the Su family.
Unexpectedly, not only did this fail, Su Yun actually died as predicted by Master Ziyuan.
Su Lin had already joined the company at that time. He thought that without Su Yun, the Su family would gradually become like other old industrial groups. They would become too big to be eliminated and would need a lot of hard work to maintain their glory.
Unexpectedly, this period never appeared. Su Lin did not dare to ask his father whether he had done anything again until Su Yun came back as the director of the West City Funeral Home. Only then did he hear from his father that after Su Yun's death, the Su family immediately cooperated with another master.
Su Lin was not sure what role Ziyuan Jushi played in this. He only knew that Su's father did not trust Ziyuan Jushi very much later on, but he still believed in Ziyuan Jushi's ability, so when he encountered minor problems, he would still ask Ziyuan Jushi to solve them.
The Su family relied on a new deal to stabilize the situation after losing Su Yun. The master made a formation for the Su family manor, but Su Lin didn't know where it was placed. Not only that, he didn't even know what price the Su family gave in the transaction.
The most clear thing now is that the formation lost control for some unknown reason, and Su's father also fell ill. When he was conscious, he repeatedly asked to invite Ji Weitong and Su Yiling, and did not allow Su Yun to know.
After all the talk, Su Lin knew nothing about anything. His father only gave him a solution to implement. He doubted whether Su Yun was told the whole story. After all, Su Lin didn't seem like someone who would only tell the truth.
It seems like a lot of things were said, but in fact only one piece of information was conveyed: someone had set up a formation for the Su family, and now the formation is out of control.
Su Yun didn't believe a word of the rest, but this was the only point Su Lin shouldn't dare to lie about.
So Su Yun said directly: "So what's wrong with me helping you break the formation?"
"There's nothing wrong with it, but if the formation is gone, what if the other party comes back to cause trouble for us? Can you still come back to help us then? Or, can you defeat the other party with your own strength?" Su Lin covered his head in frustration.
"Then why don't you call the police." Su Yun spread his hands, ready to give in.
Su Lin suddenly jumped up and said, "No!"
Su Yun was startled and looked at him in astonishment: "No, no, why are you so excited?"
At this time, Su Lin also realized that he was a little excited. Only those who were afraid of being discovered by the police would resist like this. No matter how he explained it, it seemed that he was trying to cover up the truth.
Su Yun seemed to be thinking deeply: "What kind of evidence did the other party have on you? You don't even dare to call the police?"
However, Su Lin did not want to discuss this issue in depth. He said, "In short, my request is to maintain this formation. It doesn't matter if the Su family loses a little money, but we can't keep losing money like this. Besides, you also said that people who have come to the Su family are in danger of their lives. I think that as long as the formation is restored, all problems can be solved, right?"
While saying this, Su Lin looked at Su Yun with expectant eyes, with a slightly pleading expression on his face.
Facing Su Lin's plea, Su Yun was silent for a long time and said, "It's not impossible, but you have to think it over. I'm only here this once. Do you want to solve the problem completely, or continue to drag it out and patch it up for another three years? Once you've made your choice, you can't change it."
Su Lin said firmly: "I choose to repair the formation. Now the formation has problems, but I believe in your ability. At worst, we can just wait until your parents come back."
"What's wrong with you? You always want to wait for my parents to come back and clean up the mess..." Su Yun was very surprised, but Su Lin refused to say anything. Besides, Liu Yuejun was in danger, so he decided not to argue with him. Solving the problem was the most important thing.
This matter was handed over to Lin Lang. Su Lin did not provide the location of the formation, only saying that it was within the Su family manor, and refused to let them go in to investigate.
Lin Lang went outside to take a look, then came back and said to Su Yun: "Director, from what I can sense, the formation is integrated with the Su Family Manor, and there is more than one formation, and there is a conversion process. It is not that easy to repair from such a long distance."
Su Yun was surprised: "You can't do it either?"
Lin Lang, who was always very reliable, shook his head for the first time: "The level of the fusion formation is too high. I can only destroy or erase it. It is too difficult to change it."
Every profession has its specialties. Lin Lang did not specialize in formations and spiritual weapons. He was a pure sword practitioner, which was considered a biased area.
"What if we draw a new formation to suppress the old one? Or isolate it?" Su Yun settled for the second best option. Su Lin didn't ask for any delay anyway.
Lin Lang hesitated for a moment and nodded: "That's fine, my cultivation should be able to suppress it, but this is not even a temporary solution. As long as the scope of the formation collapse expands, it will still..."
Su Yun rolled his eyes and sneered, "We wanted to come to rescue people but he was still making excuses, saying a bunch of half-truths to fool me. If he doesn't do anything, we don't have to do anything either. Anyway, we are here to save people, so we just need to save people, who cares about him."
Since the leader had spoken, Lin Lang went straight to drawing the formation.
While Lin Lang was taking action, Su Yun briefly thought about the matter of Liu Yuejun.
The Su family's situation is indeed very serious, but judging by the speed at which the formation collapsed, the impact on the Su family might not have been so great a few months ago, and Su's father was not sick and hospitalized at that time.
The lives of the businessmen from leading companies at the negotiation meeting are precious and they will not be affected by that.
Only Liu Yuejun was unlucky. She was too fragile. The souvenirs prepared by the Su family in advance had been kept in the Su family's warehouse for an unknown period of time and were contaminated with a lot of magical power overflowing from the formation. If others could take them home and survive, it would not matter. But Liu Yuejun was not like that. Something happened to her when she put them on.
The jade pendant influenced and absorbed Liu Yueyun's fate and fortune, and she was invaded by an evil spirit from nowhere, and lost control of her body until Su Yun gave Gan Xinlu the yellow talisman.
Since it is uncertain whether there is some connection between the Su family's situation and Liu Yuejun, for example, the Su family's formation will absorb fortune no matter how far away it touches, so the first method to try now is to seal the Su family's formation.
After cutting off the expansion of the Su family's formation, we have to go back and see if Liu Yuejun has woken up. If not, then it can be confirmed that the Su family's formation is just a trigger, and there are other problems.
When Lin Lang finished his work, it was already dawn. Su Yun did not enter the main building again, but casually called the butler and asked him to notify Su Lin to come over.
Su Lin stayed up all night without closing his eyes, and didn't dare to fall asleep just now, so he came out quickly.
"The formation has been set up for you. Ask the housekeeper to ask the servants and gardeners in the manor if they still feel tired and weak today." Su Yun explained it to Su Lin without waiting for him to speak.
The butler came back soon after he left and said that the staff in the manor seemed to be much more energetic today. They were always confused and prone to making mistakes before.
Su Lin's face lit up: "It's really solved, Su Yun, thank you very much, according to your price, how much should I pay?"
Su Yun, who always asked for money before, waved his hand this time and said, "That's not the way it works. I only take one order. Whoever places the order first will get the money. Your situation doesn't count. You don't have to pay me, but you better take care of yourself."
After saying that, Su Yun asked Lin Lang to drive the car. Without saying anything else to Su Lin, he got in the car and drove away very quickly.
Su Lin, who was lagging behind, took two steps forward, but ultimately did not call her.
In the car, Lin Lang asked Su Yun: "Director, aren't you going to investigate further?"
In fact, from Su Lin's words, we can see that he wants to conceal something shameful, which may be illegal or detrimental to one's moral character, but it is always bad.
No matter what, the Su family was once related to Su Yun. Lin Lang was worried that Su Yun was entangled. If he really cared about it, he should resolve it, otherwise it would easily become his inner demon and affect the stability of his Tao heart.
Su Yun waved his hand indifferently: "Don't worry about it. I'm not doing charity. A person should be what he wants to be. Besides, he has already chosen a direction. If I change it, it will really become my karma."
Since Su Yun said so, Lin Lang didn't mention it again.
In the early morning, the two masters returned to the hospital and lit incense for Liu Yuejun to stabilize her soul. When Su Yun went back in the morning, he felt that Liu Yuejun looked a little better, but the issue of the two death dates had not been resolved.
Father Liu and He Yuanjuan were also so worried that they did not sleep the whole night. When Su Yun came back, they hurriedly asked what happened.
Su Yun replied: "The Su family's fortune has not been very good recently, so it will affect those with slightly weaker fates. I have already dealt with it, but, is Yueyue still not awake?"
He Yuanjuan was happy to say that the problem had been solved, but then she thought about Liu Yueyun's lack of energy and shook her head again dejectedly: "No, there has been no change."
Coming to the bedside, Su Yun checked Liu Yuejun's body and found no changes. The situation of the Su family should no longer affect Liu Yuejun, so her problem must come from somewhere else.
But Liu Yuejun is a well-behaved high school student. Apart from being influenced by the jade pendant in the beginning, what other problems are there?
Su Yun pulled Lin Lang over and whispered to him, "Calculate the cause and effect of Liu Yueyun's horoscope. Her death is a bit strange. It doesn't seem to be caused by anyone else."
Lin Lang took out his old compass and carefully deduced it, then nodded: "Director, you are not mistaken."
You are not mistaken, so what else could it be?
After thinking for a while, Su Yun suddenly remembered that Gan Xinlu had mentioned the girl who jumped off the building at No. 5 Middle School before. Gan Xinlu believed that the girl's suicide note was written by the evil spirit that occupied Liu Yuejun's body. The girl definitely did not jump off the building by herself, but was pushed by the evil spirit.
If there was any other surprise for Liu Yueyun, this was it.
Su Yun hurriedly asked He Yuanjuan: "Aunt He, do you know all of Yueyue's friends?"
He Yuanjuan was stunned for a moment, she shook her head: "I'm not sure, only if she comes back and tells us what's going on, then we'll know. What's going on?"
"Then do you know that the girl who jumped off the building at No. 5 Middle School was once a good friend of Yueyue?" Su Yun asked hurriedly.
The news of the child jumping off the building at No. 5 Middle School was not spread at first. It was only after Liu Yueyun fainted that it was brought up again. He Yuanjuan nodded: "I know, that child... How should I put it, I don't object to Yueyue making friends, but..."
Seeing her hesitation, Su Yun said, "Aunt He, there are no outsiders here. It doesn't matter if it sounds harsh. Yueyue's situation is more important."
He Yuanjuan, who wanted to be more reserved when speaking after doing business, sighed deeply: "Hey, don't think Aunt He is old-fashioned and authoritarian. That child is pretty, has good grades, is sweet-mouthed, and has everything good except her family. If she is just a little greedy and vain, then it doesn't matter. People are like this, but people can't be like this because of their family."
Everyone in the funeral home who had never taken care of a child looked confused. Su Yun looked at them and smiled foolishly: "What do you mean?"
He Yuanjuan looked at the three young and beautiful faces of Su Yun, Lin Lang and Yan Gui and felt that they were all still children: "What I mean is that she is not a bad person by nature, but her bad habits all come from her family. For such a person, her badness will gradually increase as she lives in the family for a long time."
When two people get to know each other, they can discuss their family backgrounds at length, but education and atmosphere are completely unavoidable. This is why some people seem to have good families but fail to become good people.
Also, if a person is slowly forced to develop some bad habits in the family, not only will they be unable to change them throughout their lifetime, but as they grow older, the family pressure may become more severe, causing the bad habits to become increasingly uncontrollable.
Liu Yueyun's previous good friend was like this. He Yuanjuan doted on Liu Yueyun and didn't care who she played with. She was willing to spend more money to buy friendship as long as the other person treated her well.
During Liu Yueyun's growth, she brought many children to play with, but they all played for short periods of time. The one who lasted the longest was Gan Xinlu. He Yuanjuan felt that Gan Xinlu's family was good, and although she was poor, she had strong ambitions. That was why the two families tacitly agreed that the children would play together and discuss the college entrance examination together.
Good friends are those whose families tacitly stay together for decades.
As for the first friend, He Yuanjuan didn't find anything wrong at first, until one day Liu Yueyun came back looking for the medicine box. He Yuanjuan was worried that Liu Yueyun was injured, so she asked her what happened.
Liu Yueyun hesitated for a long time before whispering, "It's my friend... Fang Dengdeng. She, she got injured during physical education class at school. She was afraid of being scolded by her parents, so she asked me if I had any medicine to apply on her."
Children do behave like this. He Yuanjuan did not think much about it and asked how the injury occurred. However, Liu Yuejun’s explanation was very vague and a bit contradictory. At that time, He Yuanjuan felt that Liu Yuejun seemed to be lying. But it was just a dose of medicine. Was there any need to lie?
He Yuanjuan still gave the medicine to Liu Yueyun to take to school. The next morning, she sent Liu Yueyun to school as usual. After they parted at the gate, she remembered that she forgot to get a handkerchief for Liu Yueyun. She turned around and caught up with her. She saw Liu Yueyun handing the medicine to a friend. The exposed wound on the friend's hand could never have been caused in physical education class.
Those are marks that only appear after being beaten and abused.
