Fu Yunche said with some concern, "I think it's quite dangerous. You need to be extra careful."
Chu Yu comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll make preparations in advance. Take good care of Yuanbao here at the hotel and wait for me to come back."
Fu Yunche felt a little helpless, but still agreed, "Okay."
In a typical marital relationship, the husband usually goes out to work hard while the wife stays at home to take care of the family. But now it seems that he and Chu Yu are the opposite; she goes out to work hard while he stays at home to take care of the children.
Although something feels a little off, the feeling of waiting for someone to come home at home is actually not bad.
...
On the 12th floor of the hotel, in a luxurious room, Zhao Zhifu sat in the study, looking at the man in the black suit who walked in, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes: "Ah K, you've arrived."
The man was Ah K, one of the men in black's henchmen.
Zhao Zhifu and the man in black were cooperating. This time, when A-K found out that Fu Yunche and Chu Yu had come to City A, he followed them.
“Ah K, I met Chu Yu. She’s quite interesting. She and Fu Yunche are a good match.”
A-K looked at her coldly, his gaze strange, and said, "What, you've got your eye on Chu Yu?"
A hint of amusement flashed in Zhao Zhifu's eyes: "She was born in the Yin month and Yin hour, right? I like girls with that kind of destiny."
A-K gave her a deep look, then waved his hand and said, "Since you like her, then you can find a way to get her yourself. But let me warn you, this Chu Yu is not someone to be trifled with. She is cunning and treacherous, and very strong. You have to be careful."
Zhao Zhifu curled her red lips, a hint of excitement in her voice: "I like her style, which is challenging, so the game won't be so monotonous."
A-K wasn't very interested in her game, so he said, "Whatever, all I want right now is to get the Water Spirit Orb from Fu Yunche. Can you help me with that?"
Zhao Zhifu readily agreed: "Sure, but you have to help me get Fu Yunche."
A-K raised an eyebrow: "What, you've taken a liking to Fu Yunche again?"
Zhao Zhifu nodded: "That's right, a handsome man like Fu Yunche is a rare find, so I have to try him out."
Ah K clicked his tongue, his eyes filled with disdain: "You really are bisexual, what a pervert!"
Zhao Zhifu didn't explain, but smiled sinisterly: "I'm interested in anyone who's interesting."
A chill ran down A-K's spine.
Zhao Zhifu looked out at the dark night with anticipation in her eyes: "Tomorrow night is the night of the full moon, which is destined to be another carnival. I am looking forward to Chu Yu's performance."
A-K said, "Since Chu Yu is going to your place tomorrow night, I'll handle Fu Yunche."
Zhao Zhifu smiled and agreed, "Okay, remember, don't kill him, I want him alive."
A sinister smirk curled at the corner of Ah K's lips: "You can trust me to handle things."
...
The following afternoon, at Zhao Zhifu's invitation, Chu Yu arrived at the Zhao family's ancestral home.
The Zhao family ancestral home is located in the west of City A. 300 years ago, this area was a barren mountain, but now it is a high-end villa area where the residents are all wealthy and powerful.
The Zhao family ancestral home is a quaint garden-style residence with pavilions, gardens, lotus ponds, and a modern golf course and horse farm on the back hill, covering a very large area.
Zhao Zhifu went to work. The person in charge of receiving Chu Yu was the housekeeper of the ancestral home. The housekeeper was a man in his sixties surnamed Lin, and everyone called him Housekeeper Lin.
Butler Lin was easygoing and always had a cheerful demeanor, seemingly unaffected by the recent strange events.
He led Chu Yu on a stroll around the house. After walking around for a while, Chu Yu noticed that the house had a rather special structure. In the center of the house was a pool shaped like an octagon, and talismans were pasted around the pool.
Chu Yu asked, "The feng shui and design of this house are quite unique. When it was built, was a feng shui master invited to provide guidance?"
Butler Lin nodded: "Yes, this house is over two hundred years old. When it was built, the most famous metaphysician of the time was invited to assess the feng shui. That metaphysician said that although the location of this area was good, it was imbued with demonic energy. If the family wanted peace and safety, a special layout was needed, and an array had to be set up in the center of the house to suppress the demonic energy and ensure the family's prosperity. The head of the family at the time followed that metaphysician's advice when building the house."
Back then, the Zhao family wasn't this wealthy, and their house wasn't as luxurious as it is now. It was only after the Zhao family moved here that they had exceptionally good luck, succeeding in everything they did. Gradually, the family became increasingly wealthy, and the house was expanded, eventually reaching its current size. The Zhao family became the richest family in City A.
They thought things would continue to go smoothly, but unexpectedly, in recent years, the Bagua formation in the house seemed unable to suppress the original demonic energy. The old master, the old lady, and several young masters and ladies of the Zhao family passed away one after another. Not only that, every full moon night, the demonic energy in the house would surge, becoming deeply ghostly and particularly frightening.
Miss Zhao Zhifu invited many metaphysicians to perform exorcisms and rituals, but the results were poor. For the safety of her family, the surviving members of the Zhao family moved out of the ancestral home. However, the ancestral home couldn't be left empty, so Miss Zhao hired several people with very strong birth charts to guard the house.
Chu Yu understood; his account was similar to what the female guest had said.
She glanced at the composed Butler Lin and asked, "Butler Lin, how long have you been working here at the ancestral home?"
Butler Lin said unhurriedly, "My parents used to be servants of the Zhao family. I'm considered a servant born into the Zhao family. I grew up in this ancestral home and have never left since I grew up."
A hint of surprise flashed in Chu Yu's eyes, and she asked again, "Aren't you afraid of all the things that have happened around here in the past few years?"
