☆, 87, Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
Could these two things be related? Thinking of that child who was truly innocent and naive compared to Cheng Tian, Rong Zhuo suddenly had more guesses in his mind.
"Yu Xiaojiu, is it easy to handle something like this, like changing your luck?"
"Of course it's not easy." Yu Jiuyin shook his head. "Strictly speaking, everyone's luck is predetermined by heaven, with gains and losses. If you force it, it's no exaggeration to say it's defying fate. Let's ignore everything else. Just the location of the formation and the time it takes to change your luck is definitely not a day or two. It must have taken years."
"Rongrong also told me about Mutian's situation before!"
"Um."
"The Mu family's troubles didn't happen overnight; they unfolded gradually. It was just that the initial spark was with Mu Tian. Only after Mu Tian's death did the Cheng family finally get a chance to be reborn. Rongrong wanted to hold such a large-scale trial because there couldn't be just one person involved in this case. There must be a group."
Rong Qing nodded and showed everyone the situation of Cheng Tian's family, especially Rong Zhuo, who was completely stunned.
There are actually such things in this world!
If what Yu Jiuyin said before about changing luck was still a little vague, then Rongqing's investigation report made this vagueness become concrete.
Cheng's parents were ordinary workers before, and their relationship was far from as close as it is now. Cheng's father was a scoundrel, spending most of his monthly earnings on gambling. Cheng's mother, on the other hand, was the quintessential "Chinese good wife." Her husband was incompetent, yet she was still expected to be a virtuous wife. She was raising a child like a widow.
She works from dawn to dusk every day just to earn 3,000 yuan to support her family. But she can't rest after work either. She has to do the shopping, cooking, laundry, cleaning, and taking care of her daughter all on her own.
Rong Zhuo looked at the old photos of Cheng's father and mother in the Rong Qing investigation report, and could not connect them with the current Cheng parents who seemed to have a good status.
"I asked my staff to visit the shantytown where they had lived before. Surprisingly, even the old neighbors who had known the family for years couldn't remember them living next door. I also asked about Cheng's parents' workplaces, but no one could remember either. If it weren't for the records in the personnel files, there would be no evidence."
"Why is this happening?" Rong Zhuoyue felt terrified the more he listened. This person was clearly alive and well, yet he had inexplicably disappeared from his memory.
"Because of luck. The Cheng family used some trickery to forcibly exchange the luck that belonged to the Mu family. So now, in the eyes of the world, the Cheng family is equivalent to the Mu family. Haven't you noticed that even their current social circle is the same as that of the Mu family back then?"
"Holy shit, isn't this just a complete rip-off? A whole family of people, and no one finds it strange?" Rong Zhuo lost his composure for once, and the look he gave Yu Jiuyin and Rong Qing was different. He'd originally thought that people like Rong Qing and Yu Jiuyin possessed a certain magical quality compared to ordinary people. Even when the boss cast the "trapping" formation, he'd simply felt safe.
However, it was only now that he truly realized how terrifying people in the metaphysical world were. Even the act of exchanging luck alone was enough to terrify people.
However, the boss added another blow, "I think it's not so bad. Last time, someone saved his life!"
Rong Zhuo: ...So, is there anything in your circle of big guys that can’t be exchanged?
————————————-
Rong Zhuo was still in a state of cognitive explosion, but Rong Qing received the latest news.
"Team leader, these kids are too tight-lipped. We can't get anything out of them."
"Try your best first. If he refuses to cooperate, I'll allow you to use special methods such as hypnosis." Rong Qing frowned. "By the way, have you found all the students who were in the same class with Mu Tian?"
"We found him, and Zhang Yao has already brought him back. There's only one person who's hard to hire, so I'm afraid you and Brother Yu will have to go."
"How do you say that?"
"The identity is a bit subtle, I'll send it to you!" Mingyu quickly sent the sorted relevant content to Rongqing's mobile phone.
Yu Jiuyin leaned over to take a look, a strange flicker in his eyes. Rongqing noticed his reaction, took a look too, and unexpectedly smiled.
"Continue to interrogate the other students. Make sure to pry their mouths open before 5 pm. As for the remaining four, Jiuyin and I will be in charge."
After hanging up the phone, Rong Qing glanced at Yu Jiuyin and said, "Enemies always meet again."
Yu Jiuyin also laughed, "Who hasn't met a few scumbags when they were young?"
Rong Qing felt relieved by his carefree manner. But the boss and the others were very confused. "Brother Yu, do you know this Yu Hong?"
"Yeah. I knew him before."
The eldest brother was immediately puzzled after hearing this. After he and Yu Jiuyin learned the Way of Ghosts, they had already entered the world of metaphysics. Gu Zhou and the other five children would often discuss with him the current masters of metaphysics. Among them was Yu Hong.
According to Gu Zhou, Yu Hong's mastery of feng shui is considered exceptional within the metaphysical community. He first made his fortune in City S by renovating a building complex that was said to have extremely poor natural feng shui. Over the next three years, he continued to create a series of exceptional feng shui schemes, gradually gaining fame. He was known for his mastery of rare formations. He's said to have retired from the practice in the past two years, though he occasionally travels with his apprentices to meet old friends.
He has a very good reputation in the circle.
However, the boss found this man's retirement very strange. He said that he had seen a lot, but it was better to say that he had run out of ideas. Since the "Star Bureau" in Yulong Building four years ago, he has not had anything to show for it.
He had also reviewed many of Yu Hong's feng shui cases. He felt that many of Yu Hong's feng shui schemes looked familiar, especially his most famous ones. No matter how he looked at them, they seemed to be influenced by Yu Jiuyin. However, he had never heard Yu Jiuyin mention knowing Yu Hong before, and since Yu Hong was quite old, the boss hadn't shared his suspicions with Gu Zhou and the others.
After all, he is not KY's person.
But now, Yu Jiuyin's words about knowing each other before made the boss feel uneasy. He also naturally guessed that Yu Hong might be a bastard who stepped on Yu Jiuyin to get to the top!
Gu Zhou and his friends are all fans of Yu Jiuyin. When they first arrived, they explained Yu Jiuyin's status in the metaphysics circle to the boss.
It was said that Yu Jiuyin's master was a truly transcendent figure within the metaphysical community, and that his sister, who was almost the same age as Yu Jiuyin, had achieved international fame at a young age. However, Yu Jiuyin was lazy and had never joined the Metaphysical Association. Even so, the name Yu Jiuyin was still a household name within the metaphysical community.
It’s just that the specific incident involves taboos, so Gu Zhou and his gang only know that Yu Jiuyin is the current number one in the ghost world, and they don’t know what he did in the past.
As for this case, it's also a coincidence that the person involved in Mu Tian's case is Yu Hong's grandson, Yu Jinchen. Looking at the photo, he seems like a good-looking child, but the eldest child has a strange feeling that he's not a good person. After all, his grandfather himself is a difficult person to describe.
When it came to Yu Jiuyin, the eldest brother instinctively thought that those people must have hurt his brother. Thinking of this, he secretly gave Bai Zhiqiu a look.
Bai Zhiqiu was smart and immediately understood what the boss was hinting at.
Not long after, the ghost doll quietly appeared at the door of the haunted house. The boss gestured to him. The ghost doll patted his chest, indicating that it was absolutely okay. Even Lingling, who was always a caring little girl, narrowed her eyes dangerously.
There are still people bullying Jiuyin. If we can’t scare them to death, we are not evil spirits!
Just like that, when Yu Jiuyin and Rongqing finally set off, the three of Lingdang Guiwa also got on the car unknowingly.
In the car behind, Rong Zhuo looked through the rearview mirror at the three children in the back seat, and felt a chill run down his spine. The sinister looks they exchanged, coupled with the horrifying content of their conversation, made Rong Zhuo unable to resist lighting a candle in advance for Yu Hong's family. He felt that Yu Hong could have offended anyone else, but Yu Jiuyin.
However, Rongqing in the car in front was really a little worried.
"Jiuyin, a moment..." Rongqing didn't know what to say. Yu Jiuyin had told him about the past, so Rongqing knew it was Yu Hong who betrayed Yu Jiuyin. If you think about it, it had been over four years since they last met. Rongqing was a little unsure of Yu Jiuyin's true intentions.
Especially this time, Yu Hong’s grandson is most likely the breakthrough point of the case, and Rongqing is worried that Yu Jiuyin will be difficult to handle.
However, Yu Jiuyin didn't seem to care. Instead, he focused on discussing the case with Rongqing.
"When I was here, I paid attention to the No. 2 Middle School forum. Before Cheng Tian's post was deleted, there was an interesting reply. It was about whether those people in Class 4, Grade 6, were crazy! Back in elementary school, they could be considered young and ignorant, but now they're fifteen or sixteen, don't they understand that these actions are actually bullying crimes?"
"you mean……"
"The Cheng and Mu families exchanged fortunes, and Cheng Tian's current fortune is Mu Tian's. While enjoying Mu Tian's fortune, Cheng Tian also inherited the misfortunes in Mu Tian's life. If I'm not mistaken, this Cheng Tian probably experienced the same situation as Mu Tian, school violence! Mu Tian back then wouldn't have died from school violence, but he happened to encounter the Cheng Tian family's change of fortune, and died an untimely death."
"That's what I guessed too, which is why I let Mingyu go to the trial. But now the difficulty lies here. No one is telling the truth. Mingyu has been interrogating for several hours, but all the children are keeping their mouths shut. They insist that Mu Tian jumped off the building on her own!"
"Of course they won't tell the truth, because Mu Tian is dead. According to current Chinese laws, they may not need to go to jail, but people's words are terrifying. Once a stain is left on their resume, they will have to bear it for the rest of their lives. Even if they themselves don't realize it, their parents will constantly brainwash them and strictly forbid them from speaking of these things."
"That's what happened. Also, I imagine that the teachers and even the school at the time would have suppressed this kind of thing in order to protect the school's reputation. Mu Tian's family, while wealthy, didn't have much power, and in the end, their child died inexplicably, so they had no choice but to accept their fate."
"That's right. Also, Rongrong, have you noticed Yu Jinchen's information?"
"Yu Hong's grandson is said to know some Feng Shui techniques. What do you mean..."
"I think Yu Jinchen must have done something! Otherwise, how could he be so young and be plagued by resentment?" Yu Jiuyin took out a copper coin and drew a line across a recent photo of Yu Jinchen. The photo then slowly changed. Yu Jinchen was still energetic, but his face was covered with an ominous black mist.
"Tell Mingyu not to worry. Yu Jinchen will definitely tell the truth about what happened back then, and Yu Hong won't protect him. This child can only live for three years at most."
"you mean……"
"Only I can solve this thing!"
The author has something to say: Ghost Doll: Hehehe
Bai Zhiqiu: Be careful, don’t scare people to death!
