Chapter 60 Chapter 60 Seven people died
"Ah?" Su Yun didn't react for a moment. Why did they suddenly jump to this topic? Didn't he come to tell her that the formation could no longer control her liver problem?
Su Lin continued talking to himself, or to be more precise, he was complaining with fear.
The fact that the array could not suppress the liver had a huge impact on the Su family, but it was still within the range they could handle, such as bad luck and economic decline. They were more worried about being retaliated after the array was damaged, so they wanted to divert the blame. But recently, things were getting weirder and weirder, and some of the effects did not seem to be caused by the backlash of the array.
The Su family's factory did have some problems over the years, but not to the extent that there were casualties all the time. Until New Year's Eve, it suddenly seemed like accidents were happening everywhere for unknown reasons. The machines were running fine, and when the police investigated afterwards, they found no problems.
Also, an instrument that had just been inspected at the end of the year was suddenly missing a key part, and it couldn't be found anywhere. In the end, the Su family had to bear all the responsibilities.
An employee who was not seriously injured insisted in an interview with the police that he had seen a ghost and that he had used the wrong chemicals in a panic, leading to his injuries. The employee has been taken away for a mental evaluation, but the result has not yet been released.
When something like this happens, the Su family naturally has to cooperate with the police investigation. Su Lin even accompanied them to the scene for several days and visited several factories. Most of the traces have been destroyed. The surveillance video is now stored in the cloud, and the police took it for analysis early in the morning.
But after analyzing it over and over again, it was almost consistent with what the employees said, either there was something wrong with the machine, or it was like a ghost. But ever since Su Lin took over the Su family and the liver was hidden in the manor, Su Lin had always been very careful and had never missed the necessary inspections and reports, even if it was very time-consuming.
However, the police also reminded Su Lin that according to the current situation, the party at fault would still be the Su family. After all, it was the Su family's factory, and they would always have to bear the compensation after these accidents.
Compensation is secondary. If the cause cannot be found, accidents will continue. Su Lin feels that if this happens a few more times, the Su family will have no chance to survive. So he came secretly today and told Su Yun the secret of the manor, just to let Su Yun go and help take a look.
There are not many people Su Lin can trust now, and Su Yun’s biological parents count as two of them. If they are not around, he can only look for Su Yun.
After listening to this, Su Yun thought about what the police came to investigate. She felt that the police would definitely not act without a purpose, and the case was not clear yet, so they might not tell Su Lin. Otherwise, it would easily alert the enemy or make Su Lin get involved in the chaos, which was unnecessary.
But Su Yun didn't believe that there was no connection between the two.
Su Yun asked directly: "Regardless of whether I can help you or not, let me ask you first, do you remember when I was in my senior year of high school, you worked hard for a long time to get a government order?"
Su Lin wanted to solve the problem more than these things, but he came here to ask for help today, so he had to be nice and accept whatever the other party said. So he thought about it carefully and nodded: "I remember that the order was taken away from me, and the factory I was supervising in another place suddenly had an accident, so I had to stay in another place for three months. What happened?"
"The police came to me before and mentioned this matter separately. Moreover, after you left, a large sum of money suddenly appeared in my wedding savings account, which I had never touched. Don't you think about whether there is any connection between them?" Su Yun asked back meaningfully.
Su Lin frowned slowly. He was not so stupid that he could not understand such a hint. "You don't want to say that when I left, something might have happened to the Su family, but the money was used to turn it over, and it was still your account that was used. And the accidents that have occurred now are all the victims of that year taking revenge on us, right?"
Su Yun, who was still hesitating whether to accept the order, nodded: "Although I didn't go to see it, I tend to think so. Moreover, I believe in my liver. Even if it keeps trying to grow a body, it won't harm other people inexplicably. So, you don't have to worry about the backlash of the formation. It must be that your Su family has other problems."
From the situations of Lai Shu and Mi Niang, we can see that those organs developed their own intelligence after leaving Su Yun. It's just that their personalities are different because of their different attributes. Lai Shu is calm and Mi Niang is naive, but their basic qualities are both very lawful. The liver should be the same as well, and it is not possible to say that it carries the malicious intention of killing the Su family.
Therefore, the Su family must have other problems. The liver and the formation are just an amplifying device. When there are any abnormal movements between them, everything around them will be affected and the evil spirit will be amplified.
It's just that Su Lin wouldn't understand these things even if I told him. It would be better to keep it simple and tell him that the Su family might have other reasons for the current consequences. It would be much more reliable to deal with the main cause than to keep looking for Su Yun.
Catching ghosts is one thing, but letting Su Yun know what's going on inside the Su family is another. Even though Su Yun seems to have no interest in the Su family, Su Lin can't be completely unprepared. After thinking it over, he said he would go back and check first.
Then he asked Su Yun if he could agree to wait for him to go back and find out the truth, and then go catch ghosts together.
Su Yun smiled and said, "Not to mention that I gave you many chances before, and I said I could solve it all at once, but you refused. According to the current situation, it is your fault that you were retaliated by the ghosts. Why should I help the capitalist who killed people and covered their mouths?"
After hearing this, Su Lin's face turned pale and blue, looking very ugly: "But they are also hurting innocent people now, don't you care?"
"You can't calculate it this way. If someone is stabbed to death on the street, should we blame the pedestrians around for not blocking the knife? Since it happened to the Su family, then only the Su family can explain it. Can I blame them? If the Su family hadn't killed anyone back then, what happened today wouldn't have happened? The cause and effect are all on you." Su Yun said with a sneer.
Fortunately, he did not agree to help. With Su Lin's thinking, if he had agreed, he would have been cheated to death. There are people like this in the world who will only become more and more greedy. It's not even a matter of gratitude or grudge. It's a complete capitalist mentality. If they have one dollar, they want a hundred dollars, and if they have a hundred dollars, they want a million.
Greed has no limit, it’s best not to give even a dollar at the beginning.
Su Lin was choked. Su Yun was very good at talking. She could even make a dead person look alive. It was hard to target her. There was no way to continue communicating. Besides, it was not convenient to delay any longer, so he hurried back to deal with it.
After he left, Su Yun quickly called all the employees and Mi Niang, with a serious expression: "You just heard it, my liver is at the Su family. I've been there once before, plus Su Lin comes to the funeral home from time to time, and he must be able to feel my scent when he returns."
Mi Niang asked directly: "Should we go and save it?"
The ghost bride said directly: "Hey, the Su family is in chaos right now. We can destroy the formation and take the liver back. Isn't it simple?"
The master chef was more cautious. He worriedly said, "It's better not to act rashly. According to the current situation, the curator's five internal organs have been divided into five places for suppression. Two of them have already broken through the formation. For the beneficiaries of the formation, the effect should be very obvious. They will definitely keep an eye on the remaining places."
Yan Gui nodded and said, "Yes, we still don't know who is behind this. The Su family is very panicked. When Master Ziyuan was unreliable, they specially asked Zhao Tuhu for help. But in fact, they don't know who sent them the liver."
The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. If I rush to the Su family now to destroy the formation and take away the liver, what if the other party takes this opportunity to understand their situation and then finds a way to target Su Yun afterwards?
If he dies again, it will be difficult for Su Yun to be reborn.
In the final analysis, the situation is unclear and it is not easy to act rashly. The Su family probably feared this, so they delayed in notifying Su Yun. Su Lin couldn't stand it anymore and came secretly. If the Su family knew who was behind the scenes, they would not hesitate and would have surrendered to Su Yun long ago.
Su Yun listened to their reasons and then said, "The Su family's affairs are complicated and there are many causes and consequences. We should not get involved for now. But the liver is there and we cannot ignore it. After listening to Su Lin's description, I always feel that the liver has developed intelligence."
Mi Niang was the happiest one to hear this. Her eyes lit up: "If we find it, can it keep me company?"
Now Mi Niang has grown some parts of her body, but she is still far from being a human. She always feels that she is still imperfect and does not fit in with the people around her.
If a new person comes, she will no longer be the youngest.
Su Yun was amused by her and chuckled, "We don't know the exact situation yet, let's steal the things back first. Lin Lang, can you go? It should be difficult for that formation to generate intelligence. It is more like a transformation formation. You just need to bring back the liver."
Lin Lang nodded and agreed: "Okay, but if the formation also has intelligence, do we need to bring it back? Like the ice spikes in the morgue?"
"Jin Ke Mu, it sounds like a raw metal thing. We don't need it. If it chases you and attacks you, just give it a ride." Su Yun thought about the logic behind the formation drawn by the mastermind and felt that this thing was really useless.
The dark and windy night is the best time to do things that would be difficult for others to know. Lin Lang waited until midnight, which was after eleven o'clock, before flying over. He was not afraid of being caught by the camera in the middle of the night.
Su Yun slept peacefully. The next morning, when she went downstairs, she saw Lin Lang waiting in the yard.
"Did you get it back successfully?" Su Yun asked as he walked towards his recliner.
Lin Lang placed a wooden box on the coffee table. He reached out and opened it. Inside was a liver that had grown flesh and blood. It was beating like it was breathing.
After seeing it, Su Yun reached out and touched it, feeling the faint intelligence inside. It was still very weak and could only repeat Su Yun's name.
Of the three organs found so far, the liver is the weakest, with even its intelligence incomplete.
Seeing that Su Yun was not very happy, Lin Lang said, "After I arrived, I saw the formation and found that the effect of the formation was very extreme. On the one hand, it absorbed the luck and spiritual energy of the liver and fed it back to the Su family. On the other hand, it used the Su family's wealth to extract more spiritual energy from the liver and supply it to the beneficiary."
The Su family seemed to be blessed, but in fact it was just a transit station. What the formation actually absorbed was Su Yun's liver, and it was equivalent to two rounds of absorption.
The other organs only went through a round of formation and absorption, thus giving them room to develop intelligence. However, the liver absorbed too much, so its intelligence is incomplete.
If Su Lin had not come to the funeral home to attend the funeral and been contaminated with Su Yun's aura, and if Su Yun had not been present in person later, it would have definitely been absorbed by the formation again.
The Su family would not open the door of the basement unless there was something wrong, and they would not realize that both the formation and the liver were gone in a short period of time.
Without the fortune change brought by the formation, the Su family would probably become more and more chaotic.
However, Su Yun did not care about these. She looked at the liver that had no intelligence but was always struggling, and hesitated whether to let it rest in peace now.
It was slowly time to go to work, and the employees got up to work. When they passed by the yard, they saw Su Yun and Lin Lang sitting opposite each other, and they all came over.
When I saw the liver in the box, I was delighted at first, but then I realized that this liver was different from the one Lai Shu had made before.
Mi Niang squatted beside it and touched the liver several times. She said, "Director, what should we do with this? It doesn't seem to be able to transform into a human like me."
"I don't know either. Give it time, and it will surely grow slowly. But this means that she will not be Su Yun, but will become a monster instead..." Su Yun was even more hesitant.
Whether it was Lai Shu or Mi Niang, they both survived by accident. Su Yun at most gave them a chance to see the world, not to mention that Lai Shu chose to die later. But this liver is different now. If left alone, it would be equivalent to cutting off a piece of one's own flesh and creating a new human being.
In essence, its existence is equivalent to Su Yun's child, but Su Yun does not want a child.
Everyone could see Su Yun's dilemma. After all, the thing was alive, and they didn't really recommend killing it directly. If they kept it, it would also look strange, and someone would need to be responsible for it.
Mi Niang looked left and right, and she raised her hand: "Why not, let her be mine? I'll be her sister, and have the same last name as me, Mi."
"Ah?" Su Yun and the others were very confused.
Then Mi Niang touched his face embarrassedly and said: "I like to raise small things. I raised many things in Xiaowei Mountain. They all died in winter. Humans always come and go. However, the curator's liver will accompany me for many years. I can raise it until the end of the monster's life."
When the liver develops intelligence, Mi Niang will tell it how it came about and give it a new identity. Mi Niang understands Su Yun's dilemma. Not everyone is ready to take responsibility for another person's life, just like Su Yun advised her to return to dust at the beginning.
This was not Su Yun's fault, because Su Yun also gave her new choices. She saw a new world in the funeral home. She was sure that this was the life she wanted. She could afford it and did not need anyone's help.
Su Yun's hesitation at this moment is just that the liver cannot make a choice, just like the fetus in the human belly, it has no rights and the decision can only be made by the mother. If Su Yun is unwilling to be the mother, then she will be the mother. She likes to nurture a life, just like taking care of the baby spirit in the mourning hall.
Since Mi Niang liked the baby, Su Yun sighed and agreed to let her take the baby back. There were plenty of rooms in the funeral home, and it would just be one more member. However, it would probably take some time for this member to be born.
Mi Niang was very happy and bought some things online that day, trying to decorate a small room for the liver, like a little girl with a doll.
Everything was going well at the funeral home, but things were not going well at the Su family's end.
Su Lin went back to check and found that there were indeed problems when he took over the Su family's money. Those obscure reports and inexplicable private transactions all told him that the Su family was not clean before.
In fact, after so many years, Su Lin knows that the hands of every large enterprise are not so clean. Even the hypocritical Wu Jin may be even more treacherous than Su Lin when necessary.
It's just that Su Lin is a little less cruel and thinks twice before doing anything, which makes it seem that the Su family has turned over a new leaf in recent years.
But what's the point of him turning over a new leaf? It's not like the rest of the Su family is dead.
Seeing these reports, Su Lin suddenly remembered his uncle, with whom he used to have a very good relationship. His uncle was so young that he could almost be said to be Su's father's son. He was a very kind and normal person, but for some reason, he suddenly went crazy when he was about to get married, and then went into the mountains to become a savage.
Actually, my uncle hasn't been home for almost ten years. Father Su calls every year to urge him, but he never answers. By the time he gets a signal and answers the call, the New Year has long passed, so there's no point in him coming back.
The younger uncle can be ruled out. He seems to hate the Su family very much. Ever since he came out of the mental hospital, he has gradually cut ties with the Su family. His funds and property have nothing to do with the Su family's group cash flow, so there is no need to suspect him.
As for the other uncles, Su Lin got a headache when he saw their names. The old man had become confused in his old age and was always thinking about family and blood ties. It was hard for others to say much at his age. It seemed that having such a large family in front of outsiders would make him look prestigious.
Because of the old man's connivance, some companies were very dissatisfied with Su Lin taking over the majority of the group, and had been making small moves to bring Su Lin down.
Looking back now, the more Su Lin looked at the accounts, the more shocked he became. Even though he was not a professional, he could see many problems. What about the police?
No wonder the police went to find Su Yun first. However, Su Yun was young at the time and didn't know much. She could only say that there might be something wrong with the government bill and the transaction records must have been found by the police.
Thinking of this, Su Lin immediately ran out of the study to find his mother.
Now Su's father is still living in the hospital. Su Lin's mother goes to accompany him during the day and is replaced by the housekeeper at night. So when his mother is at home at night, his mother, Madam Ji, is downstairs listening to Su Yun's coquettish behavior. Su Yun always likes to act coquettishly. Although she did not grow up in the Su family, she has the temper of a spoiled young lady.
Su Lin stood on the stairs: "Mother, I have something to think about. Can I come to the study?"
Mrs. Ji heard it, nodded, pulled away Su Yun's hand, got up and went upstairs. Su Yun was humming on the sofa again, looking unhappy.
When he returned to the study, Su Lin rubbed his aching head and asked, "Mother, what is Yunyun doing again?"
"She wanted to organize a birthday party, but it was a turbulent time, so I didn't agree." Mrs. Ji said helplessly.
"Why does she always do one thing after another? My father is still in the hospital, what kind of birthday party is she holding?" Su Lin couldn't help but swear.
Madam Ji glanced at him and said, "Okay, it's best if she doesn't know anything. Wait a few years, and when she's of the right age, she can find a young man to marry. This way, she won't be sad or wronged. She can just go shopping and go to the salon every day and be happy. Do you want to be like Su Yun, so tough that she can't stand a single word that doesn't go her way?"
Mentioning Su Yun, Su Lin had an even bigger headache. He didn't understand why the two children with the same name were at two extremes and there was not one compromise.
Seeing Su Lin constantly scratching his hair and bloodshot eyes, Madam Ji asked directly: "What's wrong? What do you want to ask me?"
Back to business, Su Lin calmed down and said, "Oh, it's just that the Su family factory has had serious problems recently. They all say it's a ghost. Every employee says so. Mother, you know that since I took over the Su family, I have always been very cautious. What the employees say may not be false."
Madam Ji raised her eyelids and said, "Don't talk about these beating around the bush. Just speak directly."
Su Lin sighed: "I got some information from the police. They tend to think it happened a long time ago. They went to Su Yun to ask a few days ago. I think their direction is to target me before I took over."
Even after marrying into the Su family, Mrs. Ji did not just ignore everything. She had two small but secure properties in her hands, namely the dowry from the Ji family and the betrothal gift from the Su family. Having run the business for so many years, Mrs. Ji could be said to be much more experienced than the young and inexperienced Su Lin.
Without Su Lin explaining it clearly, she immediately thought of the previous and subsequent questions: "Do you suspect me?"
"Mother, is this a question of suspicion?" Su Lin wanted to roll his eyes. "The clear data found by the police is the marriage account that you kept for Su Yun. If you don't tell me the truth now, are you going to make it up in the interrogation room when the police come to your house?"
After saying this, Su Lin suddenly felt that it was inappropriate. He would never speak like this to his elders because of his education since childhood. But today he was too anxious, so he spoke harshly and impulsively.
Before Mrs. Ji could speak, Su Lin immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, mother, I said too much, but I only did it for the Su family."
Madam Ji stared at Su Lin for a long time, so long that Su Lin broke out in a cold sweat, and then she spoke: "If it happened so long ago, then our family would definitely not be able to avoid it."
Su Lin was stunned. He stood up suddenly: "Mother..."
Seeing him like this, Mrs. Ji lowered her head and looked at the teacup in front of her: "I used to be an atheist, until the master brought the baby named Su Yun. You don't know, the first time I saw her, I felt that she was very special, just like...the glowing doll next to the Bodhisattva in the New Year pictures."
In that era, hanging paintings of Bodhisattvas and Fuwa were very popular. Although the Su and Ji families thought they were tacky and did not use them, they still could not avoid the trend.
Almost three days passed before the favorable aura of Su Yun gradually faded away. However, when she was not crying and stared at Mrs. Ji, it was not as if she was looking at her mother, but at a stranger, as if she knew innately that she had been stolen.
Although Su Yun grew up day by day, except for her strong and weird personality, she was just like an ordinary child, and Mrs. Ji still found it difficult to be close to her. Similarly, Su Yun did not seem to be disappointed about this.
After her worldview was reshaped, Mrs. Ji began to believe in Buddhism and Taoism. She felt that what they did might have to be paid for one day, and there was also a possibility that Su Yun would have to pay for this price.
So when Su Yun came back, she doted on her daughter to the utmost, because Mrs. Ji was not sure who would be punished.
The biggest surprise was that someone sent Su Yun's liver. That was the first time that Mrs. Ji faced the prophecy directly - the daughter of the Su family would not have a good death after the age of 20.
The liver was still steaming. Mrs. Ji could instantly imagine the scene of the liver being cut out of Su Yun's stomach alive, and she fainted instantly from fright.
A dark shadow was drawing a formation behind her. She was supported by her husband and son, and she was in a trance the whole time.
Mrs. Ji still didn't know whether there would be retribution, but she felt that the predicted future would not change, just like Su Yun's death.
Soon after, not long after the peaceful day, Su Yun, who didn't know the truth, came back crying, saying that she was bullied by Su Yun.
Only three people in the family knew that Su Yun was actually dead. The moment they heard that Su Yun had returned, they were terrified. Then they remembered what the black shadow had said: Su Yun would not die. Master Ziyuan had made her body to the standard of a celestial being, so she would not die. As long as a piece of flesh was left, she could live.
But this incident once again impacted the Su family's three views, and Mrs. Ji believed more in Taoist and Buddhist theories.
Over the years, with Su Yun's liver under the pressure of the manor, Mrs. Ji and her husband have tried their best to restrain their temperament. Even though they knew that Su Lin was weak, cautious and timid, they turned a blind eye because they understood that Su Lin's caution and timidity were necessary.
But I didn't expect that they would bring up old issues.
Mrs. Ji's expression began to become as ugly as Su Lin's. She slowly talked about what happened many years ago, when they were still unscrupulous under the protection of Su Yun's fortune.
I won’t go into detail about what Su Lin asked about. Mrs. Ji said very clearly that a total of seven people had died since Su Lin went out of town.
When Su Lin heard the number of people, his legs went weak and he almost fell under the table: "How many? Are you crazy?"
"Have you ever kneaded dough? Many things are like kneading dough. If there is too much flour, add water; if there is too much water, add flour, until you can control it in a balance." Mrs. Ji's face was numb.
The order from the government back then was indeed very good, and every company tried to grab it to improve their own image. As for the Su family, it was actually unlikely that they would win the bid, because, relatively speaking, that was a newly expanded production line of the Su family, which was far less mature than that of other companies.
After evaluating that the possibility of winning the bid was low, Su's father decided to give the project to Su Lin for training.
Su Lin already owned several small factories at that time, all of which produced snacks, such as very old-fashioned candies and the like. Those nostalgic snacks were usually delivered to towns and villages for distribution, or wholesaled to nostalgic shops online. The profit was very small, but it was a good training project. As long as it didn't fail, it was a victory.
But doing this kind of thing is really not decent. Su Lin is young and energetic. Compared with the companies of his childhood friends, he seems to be still playing house. It is a rare opportunity that Su's father is willing to give him such an opportunity. He wants to seize it desperately. He has been revising the plan since he got it, and he sleeps less than five hours a day, just to do his best to get it.
Whether it was the Su family or other families, they all thought that the Su family was unlikely, so they all wanted to use Su Lin as a stepping stone to eliminate other competitors, so they sent their children to inquire about Su Yun.
In the end, no one expected that Su Lin, who was extremely dedicated, actually won the bid based on his strength and sincerity. The Su family was qualified, the conditions he offered were very good, and the overall cost-effectiveness was high, which beat out other families.
Unexpectedly, the qualification that he had obtained with great effort was envied by other members of the Su family as soon as he returned home. They first sent people to tamper with Su Lin's factory, and then bypassed Su Lin's father to report the fraud to the old man. Su's father interceded for Su Lin and proved that the whole case was the result of Su Lin's own efforts.
But the old man thought that Su Lin was not worthy of being reused and needed to be tempered by hardships. He should not be allowed to have smooth sailing from the beginning. If he succeeded this time, he would definitely become more and more demanding and think he could do everything.
As a result, Su Lin was transferred away and the project fell into the hands of his uncle from the side branch.
Father Su knew that the old man liked his younger brother very much, so he didn't say anything and just let him do his best.
But there is a big problem here that everyone has overlooked - the amount in Su Lin's bid is known only to him, and he is sincere in giving it, but others may not be willing to give it.
In other words, Su Lin took on this order for the sake of face rather than profit, and he could not be greedy for even a penny. If he was greedy, the whole plan would collapse. By the time Su's father and Mrs. Ji discovered the problem, three people had already died.
