Chapter 340: The gift of fate has already been marked with a price
Gao, a suspect involved in multiple financial crimes in Nancheng, was murdered by his wife in a rental house.
Afterwards, the woman ran out onto the street holding a kitchen knife and was hit and killed by a truck...]
The loss of two lives became just a few sentences in the news.
"Oh... I really can't bear to see this." An elegant man shook his head slowly and threw two cards with the Gao Ze couple's horoscopes written on them into the burning fireplace.
The flames instantly devoured the two card surfaces, and it could be seen that the dates of death of the two people were exactly the dates on the news report.
There is also a line of small words.
Borrowing one's lifespan to change one's fortune, exchanging fifty years of life for tens of millions of property, will not lead to a good end.
"Give you some tea?" After throwing the card, the man picked up the white porcelain teapot and looked at the old man sitting opposite him. "As for me, although I'm used to seeing life and death, and the warmth and coldness of human nature, seeing two more lives lost just like that...it still makes me feel uncomfortable."
"Didn't you lend the Gao couple a long life to improve their fortunes? Why are you feeling unwell again?" The old man had his graying hair tied up in a bun on top of his head. His washed-white robe had a few patches on it. He slammed the teacup in front of him onto the table and shook his head. "I don't dare drink your tea."
Seeing the old Taoist's attitude, the man sighed and showed a helpless look: "We have known each other for decades, why are you doing this?"
"You have money, power, fame, and profit. What else can you not be satisfied with? Why do you need it?"
"I've never pursued superficial things. Even if others don't understand me, don't you?" The man looked at the old Taoist priest in front of him with regret. "I thought that even if the whole world doubted me, at least you understood me."
"I thought you still had some humanity in you, at least you knew what you absolutely couldn't do!" The old Taoist frowned, "You're changing someone's fate and borrowing their luck recklessly. You'll be punished by heaven for doing this!"
"Haha." The man seemed to have heard something interesting, chuckled and shook his head: "You are still so naive."
"You're still so stubborn!" The old Taoist snorted and slammed his hand on the table. "Just pretend I never came! You don't have to come to see me again. I won't come to see you again! Don't come to see me even after you die!"
"Aren't you here this time?"
"You have no conscience. You've done so many bad things and yet you still dare to deceive people with words like life and death! What a jerk! If I believe you again, I'll be a dog!"
"Look at your violent temper. You're already this old, but you still don't know how to control yourself. Be careful of your cardiovascular system." The man smiled elegantly, as if he didn't care at all about the rejection and hostility in the old Taoist's words.
"Everyone has his own destiny. Richness and honor are determined by heaven. When I die has been decided long ago. There is no need for you to point fingers at me. Just take care of yourself!" The old Taoist pushed open the door and was about to leave, but someone outside stopped him.
The old Taoist priest snorted and laughed: "What an obedient dog!"
"Let him go." The man still sat in his original position and sipped tea.
The person outside the door heard the sound and stepped aside. After the old Taoist priest left, he walked in with a look of resentment on his face: "Master, he is disrespectful to you. This is not a place where he can come and go as he pleases!"
"He can always come and go as he pleases here." The Master placed the white porcelain teacup on the table. "Any news from the Kong family?"
"The third master of the Kong family went to the capital and hasn't returned yet. The second master of the Kong family is very satisfied with our sincerity in cooperating and said that he will vigorously promote this matter. The current head of the Kong family has not shown up yet, so his attitude is currently unknown."
"Where are the Kong Zhian brothers and sisters?"
"Over there..." The subordinate hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Gao Chengyi was framed and imprisoned. We have temporarily lost contact with him. There is no news from Gao Qianqian yet."
"Heh." Master chuckled. "What happy events have happened in the Zhong family recently?"
As one thing grows, the other loses. If the Gao family is unlucky, the good fortune stolen from the Zhong family will be doubled and poured back to the Zhong family.
"The eldest son of the Zhong family has reached a business cooperation with Xing Ertang and is very famous in the country. The second son of the Zhong family has received many nominations and his star path is smooth. The third son of the Zhong family was admitted to Nancheng No. 1 Middle School in advance. The Zhong couple bought a bottle of drink while taking a walk and won the grand prize of a round-the-world trip." The subordinates felt that what they said was outrageous.
"Haha, interesting." The Master's smile became much brighter. He liked this aspect of fate: impermanence beneath the rules, and surprises everywhere within the order.
"Master, what should we do with Gao Bin, the youngest son of the Gao family?"
"Gao Bin, your luck with fire is strong, but unfortunately, your five elements are biased towards fire. You're impulsive and easily angered. While you have confidence and drive, you're prone to self-harm and self-consumption. Without proper guidance, you'll eventually burn yourself out and have a hard time ending up well." The Master wrote a line on a brand new card. It was his prediction for Gao Bin: "Send him to his sister. Perhaps a new turn of events will occur."
"yes."
"How is the acquisition of Shenyin Mountain going?" Master asked again.
"It's a bit difficult. The Taoists on Shenyin Mountain are stubborn and unyielding. Moreover, China has strict regulations on the purchase and development of mountain land. We are still working hard to make progress."
"Alright, this is indeed a difficult matter. Let's take our time." The Master took another card and asked as he wrote, "What about the Luo family?"
"He ran away."
"Hmm?" The Master looked up at his men, his brows slightly furrowed. "How could he have gotten away?"
He had calculated it before, it shouldn't be like this!
"I heard that a helicopter suddenly appeared and rescued him." The subordinate's expression was solemn. He was flying a helicopter over the capital. No one knew what kind of person it was or what kind of connections it had.
"Puhehe." Master chuckled again upon hearing this. His bright eyes flashed as he said a name: "Kong Xiyan."
The little princess has Xing Ertang's national destiny to protect her, so it's not difficult for her to protect someone.
It would be great if I could use it for his benefit.
"We haven't found anything yet." The subordinate shook his head slowly.
"No need to check. Go tell her that as long as Luo Zhenxuan is alive, everything she took from him will be returned double. Let her handle it herself." The Master waved his hand, and his subordinate responded and retreated.
Master continued to sip his tea while looking at the roses in full bloom outside the window, his eyes calm.
Meanwhile, Hui'an, who had returned to Moon Shadow Palace on Shenyin Mountain, was about to go find his master to tell him about his return when his senior brother called out to him, "Huian, what's with all those injuries on your face?"
"No, nothing, I just... met the wrong person!" Hui'an raised his hand and touched his face, smiling awkwardly.
"You... were beaten by a woman?" The fire of gossip ignited in the senior brother's eyes: "Come on, let's go into the house and talk in detail."
"No, there is no woman here. I still need to find my master. Where is my master?" Huian waved his hands quickly.
"Master? Master ran away from home a long time ago and hasn't come back yet." The senior brother spread his hands and said, "By the way, have you told Senior Sister Xiyan about this?"
"Oh, I forgot." Hui'an clapped his hands and said, "It's okay. I'll tell my brother right away."
"You... you talk non-stop, and it's all nonsense! You can't remember any serious things at all!" The senior brother smiled and shook his head, then went about his own business.
Huian laughed dryly, took out his cell phone and first reported to Kong Xiyan that he was safe, and then told her about his master running away from home.
"Ah? Ran away from home again?" Kong Xiyan's mouth twitched: "No, you took Xiaoqun away without him again?"
"Not this time. This time, they were giving out red envelopes in the group. Everyone else was grabbing hundreds or even hundreds of dollars, but he only got 0.01."
Kong Xiyan: “…”
There is really no one who can be worry-free!
