Chapter 256 Curse
The car stopped in front of the villa, Shen Minyan picked up Youyou with one hand, and Tang Dou followed behind, carrying the little guy's schoolbag.
As soon as the door of the villa opened, Su Youli saw Uncle Zhang Shun sitting in the living room and the two lawyer uncles he had met last time in Uncle Pei Yi's company.
The little guy hugged his father's neck and looked back. Brother Xiao Tang was talking to two tall and strong uncles.
Su Youli blinked and whispered, "Dad, there are so many people at our house today~"
Shen Minyan patted his head and said, "Dad has an appointment with the uncles to discuss something. Can I let Brother Xiao Tang take you to play with Brother Qiqi later?"
Knowing that his father had to work, Su Youli nodded sensibly and did not forget to tell him: "Dad, don't be too tired."
Shen Minyan pinched his little face, kissed him on the forehead, took him to the room, and asked Tang Dou to change him into comfortable clothes.
The adults who were talking in the living room heard the sound of the little one coming down the stairs, and they chose to remain silent tacitly.
"Uncle Zhang Shun."
Zhang Shun hadn't seen him for quite some time. He bent down and said with a smile, "Youyou, you've grown taller."
Su Youli likes to hear people say that he has grown taller, and his eyes immediately light up: "Really? I've been eating a lot of vegetables and drinking milk recently!"
"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, ask Uncle Zhang."
The little guy immediately looked at Uncle Zhang who was standing aside, with an expectant look on his face.
Lawyer Zhang crossed his arms and looked at the child from head to toe. He raised his hands and gestured in the air a few times, "I think Youyou has grown taller, too."
Su Youli was so happy that he let go of Tang Dou's hand and ran to Lawyer Xiao Zhang.
He likes to listen to what Lawyer Xiao Zhang says.
I like Lawyer Xiao Zhang.
Then, Zhang Shun watched as this little snowball became completely attached to his younger brother.
Two minutes later, the little guy finally got enough of hearing people complimenting him on his height.
He walked up to Zhang Shun and raised his hand to ask him to lower his head.
Zhang Shun lowered his head in confusion, and then he heard Youyou whisper in his ear: "Uncle Zhang, why are you coming to my house today?"
Su Youli felt something was wrong because his father always worked alone before.
There are rarely so many people at home.
The most important thing is that he has an impression of Uncle Zhang Ze and another lawyer uncle. Last time, his father went with them to help Uncle Pei beat the bad guys.
Zhang Shun hesitated, trying to find an excuse to fool the child, when he heard him continue, "Are you going to beat up the bad guys again?"
Zhang Shun: “…” Why doesn’t it count?
He nodded seriously: "The bad guys this time are more powerful, so we need more people."
Su Youli believes that his father can definitely defeat the bad guys.
"Then uncle, you guys should work hard~"
The little guy who walked to the door did not forget to turn back and cheer them on.
The elite men in suits in the living room all had kind faces and smiled and waved their hands in cooperation: "We will definitely do our best."
With a "click", the door closed and the little guy's light footsteps gradually disappeared.
Zhang Ze moved his wrists and neck, and the bodyguards and lawyers present seemed to be energized and returned to the reception room very consciously.
They sat down at the long table in an orderly manner, opened their laptops after making eye contact, and their fingers flew on the keyboard.
When Shen Minyan went back to his room to get something, he saw that they had already started working when he went downstairs. Their backs were straight and they didn't look like they were forced to work overtime.
The elites of Shen Group are very hard workers. Zhang Shun has already found out the source of the gem.
The previous owner of this gem was named Li, who lived abroad for a long time and had a son when he was nearly middle-aged.
The child was a premature baby with congenital defects.
Mr. Li and his wife took care of the child carefully every day, but the child still coughed and had a fever every few days, and in serious cases he had difficulty breathing.
The Li family is not short of money. In order to ensure that their son with poor health can grow up healthily, they will try their best to get any expensive medicine or costly medical equipment for the child.
Chinese people respect heaven and earth, as well as ghosts and gods.
The couple prayed to gods and Buddhas many times.
Mr. Li and his wife would take turns returning to China every month to pray for their children at various temples.
Half a year later, the child's health improved, and the couple became even more convinced of the power of ghosts and gods.
Mr. Li is a jewelry collector and often attends various auctions.
When he learned that the sapphire symbolized "peace", he bought it without hesitation, brought it back to China, and gave it to a so-called "high monk" to consecrate it.
From that day on, the sapphire became inseparable from the frail child and became his amulet.
However, fate seemed to play a cruel joke on this family.
After the child had worn the sapphire for nearly half a year, he suddenly fell ill.
The child was critically ill. During his last few days lying on the hospital bed, the gem was still lying quietly on his thin chest.
Later, the Li couple returned the sapphire, which had been blessed and promised by the "high monk" to bless their child to grow up safely, to the auction house, and angrily accused them of having this thing that had killed their child.
In order to get the sapphire to be sold at a high price, the auction house gave the gem a unique meaning from the beginning.
Mr. and Mrs. Li worried about their child's health and tried every possible means. They even placed their hopes on ghosts and gods.
So they bought the gem, hoping it could change their children's fate.
What happened afterwards is very clear.
Chu Yi attended the auction by chance. When he heard the story behind the gem, he bought it without hesitation. He didn't even handle it and asked the auction house to send it back to the country. Finally, it came into Chu Ying's hands.
Now Chen Minyan finally knows what Chu Yi's intention was in giving him this sapphire.
He believed that this gem carried some kind of curse and brought bad luck, and that no matter how high the monks blessed it, it could not stop its "magic power".
Many of you here have children at home, and almost everyone will ask for a peace amulet for their children during the Chinese New Year and other festivals. If you hear about amulet bracelets being sold in the temple, you will buy one for your children.
Zhang Ze glanced at Zhang Shun and said, "I still remember when I was a child, my parents asked for a red string for each of us and tied it on our wrists..."
Things suddenly became a little mysterious. After listening to the story, Zhang Ze took another look at the sapphire placed in the middle of the table and felt that it was emitting a strange light.
It seems to have a kind of chilling penetrating power, making one feel creepy at a glance.
