Chapter 29
When we returned to my home, Erma released Zhang Yan. I had always wanted to ask her what had happened that year.
Zhang Yan told us that when she and Wu Lianyong first got married, they were envied by many, including Li Fei. Wu Lianyong was a well-known architectural designer at their company at the time, handsome and wealthy, and it wasn't just Zhang Yan and Li Fei who were attracted to him. But somehow, Wu Lianyong and Zhang Yan became close, and eventually they got married.
Now that I think about it, it seems Wu Lianyong was attracted by Zhang Yan's own luck. Zhang Yan's fate was good, but after they got married, Wu Lianyong used the combination of yin and yang, combined with sorcery, to add Zhang Yan's luck to his own, thus strengthening his own destiny.
Although these things may seem like feudal superstitions in modern times, it is a fact that Wu Lianyong has already served as the chief architectural designer of Hong Kong International Company.
It turns out that everything was just a scam by Wu Lianyong.
As for Li Fei's incident, it was even more of an accident. Li Fei, distraught over her best friend marrying the man she loved, became jealous and seduced Wu Lianyong. Wu Lianyong wasn't a good person himself, and the two quickly became close. Li Fei also frequently sent Zhang Yan photos of her and Wu Lianyong together, prompting Zhang Yan to frequently fight with him over this.
Li Fei instigated Wu Lianyong and Zhang Yan to divorce, but Wu Lianyong married Zhang Yan in order to deprive her of her luck, and now that the matter is not settled yet, how could they possibly divorce?
Zhang Yan's fate was tough, so Wu Lianyong, in order to speed up the process, placed the puppet under Zhang Yan's bed and hid a white tiger portrait on the beam of his house. These were all designed to make Zhang Yan weak and sickly, so that he could take advantage of Zhang Yan's weakness and quickly steal Zhang Yan's luck.
After years of deprivation, Wu Lianyong finally took all of Zhang Yan's luck upon himself. By then, Zhang Yan was a fading figure. Though she still looked radiant on the surface, she was nearing the end of her life. Sure enough, within two days, Zhang Yan fell from the upper floor of her home.
According to her, she had a splitting headache and stars in her eyes that day. She somehow walked onto the balcony and then slipped and fell down.
That's what the doll under her bed did.
After Zhang Yan's death, Li Fei thought she could take over, but for unknown reasons, she was also killed by Wu Lianyong. Wu Lianyong buried her body downstairs in his own building. However, when the community was expanding its underground garage, Li Fei's body was discovered.
Two people died at the same time in a short period of time, and both were related to Wu Lianyong. The police initially suspected that Wu Lianyong was the culprit. However, Wu Lianyong was not at the scene when either Zhang Yan or Li Fei died, so this became an unsolved case.
Later I lived here and everything was fine, but she said that on the night when Mao Jianming, Zhang Song and I came back from drinking, she suddenly felt that the aura emanating from me was very attractive to her.
At this point, Erma said, "And you want to ask my sister to help you redress your grievances, right?"
"Yes, but Li Fei wanted to harm her in the underground garage at that time. I saved her through the elevator." Zhang Yan pointed at me.
By now, I completely understand.
The ghost I encountered in the underground garage was Li Fei. She knew Zhang Yan wanted my help, so she tried to kill me. And Zhang Yan, to protect me, even warned me about the car accident we encountered on the way to Longhu Mountain. At first, I thought they were the same ghost. I was confused, wondering why they wanted to kill me one moment and then save me the next.
After Zhang Yan finished speaking, Erma took her back into the jade bottle.
"What do we do next?" I asked.
"Now I have collected Zhang Yan's ghost, and Li Fei has also been eliminated by me, so you don't have to be afraid anymore. This matter has nothing to do with you, so you can completely ignore it." Erma said.
Erma's words made sense, but thinking of Zhang Yan's miserable fate, if it weren't for Wu Lianyong, she would definitely be living a good life now. If I didn't seek justice for her, I'm afraid no one else in the world would do it. And Wu Lianyong must have killed more than just the two of them. I really don't want such a scumbag to be at large.
"I want to help her, okay?" I asked Erma.
Erma looked at me for a long time and said, "Okay, then I'll go back and prepare. We have to be extra careful when dealing with people from the Xuanmen."
"Thank you." I hugged Erma, and a faint scent of sandalwood came from her body.
"After I finish dealing with this matter, I will definitely take you to have a good time in Hong Kong." I said with a smile.
When Erma heard the word "play", her serious expression suddenly turned happy.
She is indeed a child who never grows up.
We immediately called Zhang Song and told him we were going to Hong Kong. But Mao Jianming said he was tied up and couldn't go with us. I didn't ask any further questions, but as he was leaving, Erma stopped him and said, "Zheng Yunyun's eyes are like peach blossoms, with tears in them. She has a strong killing star and a weak body, and no official star in her destiny. She's not suitable as a life partner."
Mao Jianming nodded and said, "My relationship with her has not reached that stage."
What does Erma mean? Zheng Yunyun has almond-shaped eyes. According to physiognomy, such a woman is likely to be highly attractive to men but emotionally unfaithful, prone to multiple relationships and struggles to settle. Furthermore, she is timid, passive, and often fruitless in her relationships. Zheng Yunyun has a "bad luck in love," experiencing numerous relationships but lacking true love.
After Mao Jianming left, I asked Erma if Mao Jianming was in a relationship with Zheng Yunyun. Erma said that Mao Jianming was in a romantic relationship this year and that there was indeed a red thread with Zheng Yunyun on him.
Of course, it all depends on Mao Jianming himself. Erma has said what she needs to say. As his friend, even if he really gets together with Zheng Yunyun in the end, I can only wish them both the best.
Since I was fine, I drove Erma back to the Tianshi Mansion the next day. When Master Zhang heard that we were going to deal with the Xuanmen people, he carefully calculated and said that this trip would cause a lot of trouble and we had to be very careful.
After visiting Master Zhang, we went to visit Li Danyang. For Erma, Li Danyang, who taught in her place, was closer than Master Zhang. Li Danyang gave each of us a pendant, calling it a talisman. He also reminded us to plan carefully before making decisions when traveling, and to contact the Tianshi Mansion immediately if we couldn't handle a situation.
Less than a week later, Zhang Song called.
We drove back to Yingtan and arrived at my shop. In my private room, Zhang Song took out the three of us from his backpack.
"With these we can go to Hong Kong," said Zhang Song.
This efficiency is definitely very fast. I began to doubt Zhang Song's claim that he was just a retired soldier. But since he didn't say it, I couldn't force him.
I immediately booked three plane tickets and asked Xiaorong to look after the store.
And so, the three of us boarded the plane to Hong Kong.
