At this time, the Zhao family...
Zhao Guangcai is receiving a mysterious distinguished guest.
This distinguished guest is no ordinary person; he is a renowned feng shui master in Hong Kong.
Although Zhao Guangcai was a public official, people of that era generally had low levels of education and were quite superstitious.
Zhao Guangcai, in particular, liked to consult fortune tellers when he was young, and he didn't change this habit even when he got old.
Yesterday, a wealthy businessman recommended this Master Chen to him, so he invited Master Chen to his home.
Master Chen is not old, only in his fifties, and is a legendary figure in Hong Kong.
He wasn't from Hong Kong Island; it's said he smuggled himself there from the mainland in his twenties, which led to his legendary life.
Even their accents still have a Central Plains flavor.
There was naturally no barrier to communication between the two.
"Master Chen, it's better to meet you in person than to have heard so much about you. You are so young, yet you already have the air of a sage. You are clearly a person of great spiritual attainment!" Zhao Guangcai couldn't help but nod in praise.
Although Master Chen was much younger than him, he had a very imposing presence, even more so than him, the second-in-command. His eyebrows, in particular, were exceptionally thick and gave him an air of authority without needing to be angry.
Faced with Zhao Guangcai's praise, Chen Zheng did not show the slightest smile, but instead looked at Zhao Guangcai with a serious expression.
"Leader Zhao, if I'm not mistaken, you've recently fallen seriously ill, haven't you?" Chen Zheng said with a serious expression.
Zhao Guangcai was slightly taken aback. His illness was no secret in the circle, so it was not surprising that the other party knew about it.
However, out of politeness, he still smiled and said, "Master Chen is indeed a master. How could you tell that? Alas, to be honest, I was very ill this time and almost lost my life. Fortunately, I met a famous doctor who cured me!"
"You really think you're cured?" Chen Zheng sneered.
Zhao Guangcai was slightly taken aback. "Uh, what do you mean?"
After Lin Yu massaged his back, his tumor did indeed fall off, and he had already gone to the hospital for X-rays and CT scans, which confirmed that the lesion had completely disappeared. Now, taking the prescription Lin Yu gave him, he feels much better.
Chen Zheng, however, revealed a strange smile. "Leader Zhao, to tell you the truth, everything in this world has cause and effect. Your illness is the cause and effect that will inevitably lead to your death, and I can see that your lifespan has come to an end! You are destined to die! Of course, some evil people can use magic to transfer your bad luck to others, such as your descendants, borrowing their lifespan and fortune. But if you do that, although you will be cured, some of your descendants will definitely suffer great misfortune and calamity!"
"What?!" Zhao Guangcai looked shocked, his expression incredulous.
Snap!
"Insolence! Stop spouting nonsense and cursing our Zhao family!"
A square-faced man next to Zhao Guangcai slammed his fist on the table. This was his eldest son, Zhao Jianguo!
Although Zhao Jianguo did not enter politics, he was still an entrepreneur and a big boss in Harbin.
Unlike Zhao Guangcai, he didn't usually believe in such feng shui superstitions. If Zhao Guangcai hadn't asked him to, he wouldn't have sat down with this Master Chen.
At this moment, Master Chen began to curse the descendants of the Zhao family, and he naturally couldn't hold back, immediately rebuking him.
Master Chen wasn't angry; he just smiled slightly. "These things are always a matter of belief—if you believe, they exist; if you don't, they don't. I haven't forced you to believe! I've said my piece. Since your Zhao family doesn't believe, I have nothing more to say. Farewell!"
After Master Chen finished speaking, he put on his hat, leaned on his cane, and limped outside.
“Hey, Master Chen…” Zhao Guangcai quickly stood up, but was stopped by Zhao Jianguo.
"Dad, you don't actually believe his nonsense, do you? I told you before, these charlatans are completely unreliable. Why did you invite him into our home? He's just bad luck!" Zhao Jianguo complained irritably.
"That's right, boss! Your recovery was entirely thanks to Dr. Lin. It's all thanks to the profound and extensive nature of traditional Chinese medicine! It has absolutely nothing to do with feng shui or superstition!"
At this moment, Shao Junjie, the secretary standing to the side, also spoke up, agreeing with Zhao Jianguo's words.
Zhao Guangcai frowned. Seeing that his son and secretary both said so, he couldn't say anything more and just shook his head helplessly.
"Alas, everyone says that Master Chen of Hong Kong Island is a highly accomplished master. Perhaps it's just a rumor!" Zhao Guangcai showed a regretful expression. He had wanted to consult the master about his career and his future official prospects, but he didn't expect this outcome. He felt very disappointed.
"Jianguo! Something terrible has happened, Jianguo!"
Just then, a hurried shout came from outside, and then a woman wearing a classic blue silk cheongsam rushed in.
This is Zhao Jianguo's wife, Ma Li.
"What kind of behavior is this, all flustered and disrespectful!" Zhao Guangcai was already in a bad mood, and seeing his daughter-in-law behaving so rudely, he immediately scolded her.
thump!
Unexpectedly, Ma Li collapsed to the ground, crying out, "Jianguo, Dad, something bad has happened! You have to come quickly! Mingming was playing outside and fell down. He passed out and seems to have stopped breathing!"
"What??"
Everyone was taken aback.
Zhao Guangcai, in particular, had not fully recovered and could not hold on any longer, almost collapsing to the ground.
"dad!"
Zhao Jianguo quickly stepped forward to help Zhao Guangcai up, and then said, "Dad, don't worry, maybe Mingming just got tired of playing and fell asleep!"
"Sleep my ass! Didn't you hear Ma Li say the baby isn't breathing? Go check on him right now!" Zhao Guangcai shouted anxiously, clutching his forehead.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The group rushed outside, where the courtyard was already filled with Zhao family servants.
Children are often playful and bump into things, which is quite normal. But this time, Zhao Mingming's situation was really strange. She just fell down, didn't hit her head or anything, and suddenly stopped breathing.
"Son, wake up! Wake up! Open your eyes and look at your dad!" Zhao Jianguo held his son and shook him repeatedly, but the child still did not respond.
"Have you called an ambulance yet?" Zhao Guangcai shouted anxiously.
"I've called them, I've called them, they should be here soon!" the servant replied.
At this moment, Shao Junjie seemed to realize something and quickly said, "Boss, this is really too strange. Master Chen just said..."
Zhao Guangcai shuddered and suddenly remembered Chen Zheng's words.
Could it be, as Master Chen said, that this is his own karma, which has now manifested in his grandson?
Upon realizing this, he hurriedly shouted, "Quickly, go and invite Master Chen back!"
