Lin An was shocked to find that next to Master Wang, there was another person who had been struck by lightning. This person was lying on the ground with his hair standing on end and his face charred black, making it impossible to recognize him.
Could it be that the lightning-attracting talisman malfunctioned and struck the wrong person? No way, this was a lightning-struck jujube wood that he bought for fifty million, ground into powder and made into pigments to draw talisman paper. The one he just used was worth twenty-five million.
Lin An strode forward. He was initially anxious and panicked, but after recognizing the person in front of him, he breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the person struck by lightning was Yang Li. It was truly a blessing from heaven.
As the organizer, Zhao Gancheng rushed over to check: "Quickly, get him to the hospital, security, come here..."
Xu Mo stepped forward and asked Lin An with concern, "Who is this person? He won't sue you, will he?"
“It’s Yang Li. Go ahead and sue her. Do you think the police will believe that I attracted the lightning to strike her?” Lin An laughed.
Xu Mo suddenly realized and gave a thumbs up: "That makes sense!"
Looking at Yang Li, whose face was covered in soot, he asked in confusion, "How did you recognize her when she's like this?"
Lin An pointed to her clothes and said, "With so little fabric, if she were struck by lightning, she could still twist into a big S shape on the ground. Who else could it be but her?"
"You deliberately chopped at her?"
"No, it's strange. My lightning-summoning talisman only strikes the chosen person. I can't figure out why it affected her." Lin An also looked puzzled.
At this moment, the security guards who had been summoned by Zhao Gancheng also recognized Yang Li and exclaimed in surprise:
"Isn't that the woman from Master Wang's lounge? Dual cultivation is truly extraordinary; they can even be struck by lightning together. Amazing!"
Upon hearing this, Lin An and Xu Mo exchanged a glance, both with expressions of understanding.
The lightning-attracting talisman targeted a living, breathing person. Yang Li and Master Wang had just exchanged bodily fluids, so there was probably still some of Wang Qi's vital energy remaining in her body, which is why the lightning struck her.
Yang Li was carried out by several security guards.
Lin An glanced at the crowd; Wang Qi's disciples and followers were nowhere to be seen. He had no choice but to call out to Zhao Gancheng:
"Young Master Zhao, come here!"
Zhao Gancheng, abandoning his usual demeanor, became extremely submissive, bowing respectfully and saying:
"Master Lin, please let me know if you need anything!"
Lin An couldn't help but marvel at how quickly this grandson had changed his mind. He coughed lightly and questioned him:
"Is this location your Zhao family's courtyard?"
Zhao Gancheng was startled by Lin An's question, breaking out in a cold sweat. He thought Lin An was going to hold him accountable for his collusion with Wang Qi. His knees buckled, and he knelt down, hastily admitting his mistakes.
“This place belongs to my family, but I really didn’t know that Master Wang was so inhumane. Grandpa Lin, I was wrong, please let me go.”
Lin An said calmly, "You're overthinking it. Since Wang Qi committed fraud in your yard, you also bear some responsibility. You should pay for Granny Liu's 100,000 yuan first. As for the money Wang Qi swindled, he's gone, but the money is still there. You should go through legal procedures to return it to the victims."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Gancheng breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that he wasn't going to be struck by lightning. He nodded frantically, "Master Lin, don't worry, I'll take care of it right away."
"Alright, go on now."
Zhao Gancheng hurriedly got up and walked outside. After taking a few steps, he couldn't help but look up at the sky and sigh, "Thank goodness I wasn't struck by lightning. Life is precious!"
Lin An was amused by his words. What was this idiot thinking? You're just a show-off, do you deserve to use talismans worth 25 million each?
At this moment, Lu Miao also regained his energy and led his grandson Xiao Bao over to thank Lin An.
"Young Master Lin, thank you for saving my life. I, Lu Miao, may not be good at much else, but I have been practicing medicine for many years. If anyone gets sick in the future, please feel free to come to me."
Lu Miao's eyes were sincere, and his tone was earnest.
Lin An quickly said, "Dr. Lu, you are too kind. I have long admired your name. I do have some questions I would like to ask you. When is it convenient for you to pay me a visit?"
Lu Miao's face lit up with surprise. There weren't many young people who knew him these days. He smiled and said:
“I live nearby. Let’s add each other on WeChat. I’ll send you my address. I’m home on the first and fifteenth of every month, so you can come find me. But today is Xiaobao’s birthday, so I have to go down the mountain to take him to his mother’s place.”
"Alright, I will definitely come to visit you in the future."
The two exchanged contact information. Before leaving, Lu Miao pulled Xiao Bao aside to thank Lin An: "Xiao Bao, quickly thank your brother."
Xiao Bao leaned against Lu Miao's leg, her two bright eyes sparkling with laughter, and looked at Lin An, saying, "Thank you, brother. You have to come and play with me next time!"
Lin An squatted down and patted Xiao Bao's head: "Okay, it's a deal. Happy birthday, Xiao Bao."
"Thank you, brother. I'm going to find my mom now. Bye-bye."
"Bye-bye." Lin An waved goodbye to Xiao Bao, a rare bright smile on his face.
The group of metaphysical scholars and believers kneeling on the ground had legs that were sore from kneeling. Seeing that Lin An did not intend to pay attention to them, they chose a highly respected master to step forward and kowtow.
“Master Lin, if we hadn’t seen it with our own eyes, we would never have believed that such supernatural powers existed in the world. We and everyone here wish to worship you as our esteemed one. Please continue to preside over the fortune-telling conference.”
The speaker understood perfectly well that everyone had their own abilities, but none of them could compare to Lin An, who was a god capable of summoning heavenly thunder.
If Lin An were willing to share some genuine knowledge, wouldn't I be able to easily advance to the next level? Then I could learn from Master Wang and do some consecration rituals, making money would be much easier, and financial freedom would be just around the corner.
Lin An snorted inwardly. What good could a group of people who hung out with Wang Qi be? However, he didn't want to make too many enemies, so he said coldly, "I don't know much about metaphysics, and I'm usually quite busy. This place belongs to the Zhao family. If you have any problems, go find Zhao Gancheng."
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances. If someone knew so little, they could already attract heavenly lightning; if they knew too much, wouldn't they be sent to heaven?
His casual remark that he didn't know much made the decades of cultivation of the kneeling men seem like a joke.
It's true what they say: the new waves of the Yangtze River keep crashing against the old, while the old waves are left to die on the beach.
Lin An looked at the faces of the kneeling scholars, which were even uglier than if they had eaten shit. Tsk tsk tsk, he accidentally hurt their self-esteem.
He said, "Everyone, I have urgent business to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
Then he took Xu Mo for a walk.
As soon as the two got into the car, Lin An received a call from Butler Li:
“Young master, the cemetery management has promised to replace the tombstone within a week. I just offered incense for the old man, and this time the incense did not go out in the middle.”
"Yes, I've dealt with the vandals. Grandpa should be able to rest in peace now." As dusk fell, Lin An's voice betrayed his exhaustion.
"Ah, that's wonderful! It's all thanks to the young master..." Butler Li cried tears of joy, then continued to express his dissatisfaction with the Lin family:
"Those family members are truly heartless! They're busy taking their adopted son to private school, busy redeeming lottery tickets, and busy going on blind dates, but none of them care about the old man..."
Lin An was exhausted after a long day, and wearily responded to Butler Li's complaints with "Uh-huh..."
"Young Master must be tired. You should rest."
After hanging up the phone, Lin An fell asleep in the car.
About half an hour later, the vehicle entered the city. Lin An suddenly woke up and muttered to himself, "Something's not right! Nothing's right."
Xu Mo thought he was still half asleep, and said:
“Nothing’s wrong, you’re just asleep. We’re now in the city, and we’ll be at your hotel in about twenty minutes.”
Lin An's pupils dilated, his fingers unconsciously tightened, digging deeply into his palms, and he turned to Xu Mo, who was driving, and said:
"No one can win the lottery after their ancestral grave is blown up, unless it's not an ancestral grave."
