Chapter 423: Borrowing Life
"Qianxue! Qianxue, are you okay?" Su Xuan pushed Xiao Jing away worriedly and rushed to the bedside.
Shen Qianxue’s face was pale and she shook her head: “Brother Su, I’m fine.”
She paused and looked at Xiao Jing with complicated eyes, "Brother Jing, don't forget that I am grandpa's granddaughter now. If anything happens to me, grandpa will definitely not let you go."
Xiao Jing smiled, not disguising the hostility and disgust in his eyes, "Then let's see how long you can hold on."
Grandpa is so protective of his son. Since Shen Qianxue came to the Xiao family, he has been almost inseparable from Shen Qianxue except for eating and sleeping.
But since the auction ended, he found that the old man was not so close to Shen Qianxue.
even……
He privately investigated that the old man donated a lot of money, and it was all donated in the name of Shen Wan.
This made him suspect that the old man might have noticed something.
Otherwise, if the old man knew that Shen Qianxue was in the hospital, he would definitely come to watch over her without stopping, and it would be impossible for him not to show up for two consecutive days.
Shen Qianxue looked confident: “Brother Jing, it’s you who need me, not me who needs you, understand?”
The contempt in Xiao Jing's eyes deepened as he looked at her.
If it weren't for Shen Wan's fate that prevented him from returning to the Xiao family, why would this fake thing exist?
Shen Qianxue is really stupid.
She probably doesn't know yet, but the old man will kick her out of the Xiao family soon.
Make money?
Given the old man's methods, it would be considered merciful not to let her get away with a severe beating.
Xiao Jing sneered and came out of the ward.
He frowned slightly, "If Grandpa knew that Chen Wan was his biological granddaughter... he would definitely let her come back to recognize her ancestors."
"But her fate..."
Xiao Jing couldn't help but think of the prophecy made by his second uncle Xiao Wenli.
Chen Wan was born with bad luck and few relatives. Anyone who had anything to do with her would end up with a miserable death.
If she returns to the Xiao family, the Xiao family will definitely be ruined and the family will be destroyed.
Xiao Jing frowned even more tightly, "Second uncle has been in a coma for so many days, and I don't know when he will wake up."
"Fortunately, Grandpa hasn't discovered that Second Uncle is in trouble yet."
Yes, my second uncle Xiao Wenli is still lying unconscious in the Hua faction’s dojo.
I heard from the Taoist masters that his soul is incomplete and the chances of him waking up are not high.
The elders of the Hua sect have already asked their ancestor who was in seclusion to come out and rescue people.
The other side.
Chen Wan returned to Shanhai Bay, and after sending the children away, he sat cross-legged on the sofa and began to draw talismans.
Bai Xiaoyan gave her all the information he had obtained from the investigation. "After Xiao Renliang returned, he launched an operation against illegal kidnappings in Southeast Asia. Many people were arrested, but Li Biao is nowhere to be found."
"By the way, I have found some clues about the last life-changing incident through that forum."
"Wang Yuan bought the life-exchanging method from a Taoist called Qingyun. I talked to him privately and he offered 30,000 yuan. After the life-exchanging is successful, she needs to pay him another 70,000 yuan, plus half of her remaining lifespan."
"Sister Wanwan, is there really anyone who can perform such an evil magic to take away someone's lifespan?"
Chen Wan nodded: "There is a saying about borrowing life. Some people will throw red envelopes in the hospital. The money in the red envelopes is the money for borrowing life. Whoever picks it up will be unlucky."
"There is also a practice where elders kowtow to their juniors day after day. This is called kowtow to borrow longevity."
"There are many ways to borrow life among the people, but they are all vicious methods."
"People have a fixed life span. If you want to borrow someone else's life span, you have to pay a price."
"Master Qingyun used the method of exchanging lives to deceive Wang Yuan and exchanged Su Nana's life for hers. She paid the price of having her life span halved, and this life span has been borrowed by Master Qingyun."
Chen Wan frowned: "Xiaobai, continue to track down this Qingyun Master, hack into his backstage and send a private message to see how many people have bought his life-changing method."
Bai Xiaoyan said truthfully: "I have read all the private messages, and a total of 293 people have bought his life-changing method."
Shen Wan's face darkened: "So many people?"
"Yes." Bai Xiaoyan said, "And the people who buy the life-changing method are all young people. Even if you can get 30 years of life from a young person, 293 people would be nearly 9,000 years! Is this the rhythm of living like a ten-thousand-year-old demon?"
Chen Wan narrowed his eyes slightly: "This Qingyun Master is probably specialized in this kind of lifespan business. He can sell lifespans to dignitaries and extend their lives."
"The buying and selling of lifespans is not allowed. It will disrupt the order of yin and yang. With so many people... it's impossible for the underworld to not notice."
Chen Wan suddenly smiled, "I have to do a favor for the underworld."
She picked up the information, wrote down Qingyun Zhenren's information and directly wrote it on the yellow talisman, and then burned it in the underworld.
Bai Xiaoyan was surprised: "Sister Wanwan, are you telling tales to the underworld?"
"It's a handy thing~"
In a moment, Shen Wan saw spots of golden light flying towards her.
Her smile widened.
A few minutes later, Officer Xue called, “Master Shen, I was secretly squatting on Shen Shuhao and saw an outlaw giving him a package. I checked this person, his name is Li Si, and he is Li Biao’s cousin.”
“Shen Shuhao seems to want to attack you, should I detain him now?”
Chen Wan's eyes lit up, "No need, just let him come, then we can catch him red-handed."
"I have shown this Li Si's photo to Ms. Jiang Miao. He is the criminal who kidnapped and extorted her!"
Thinking of the scene of rescuing the children that day, Shen Wan said bluntly: "No need to play a long game to catch a big fish. This Li Si has been abandoned by Li Biao."
There must be an expert around Li Biao, otherwise he would not be hiding so deeply that even she could not determine his location.
Obviously, Li Biao gave up on the children by placing them in the community, and Li Si was also abandoned.
"Master Shen, I understand. I will arrest Li Si immediately."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Wan called the security department and asked them to turn a blind eye when they saw Shen Shuhao.
Shen Shuhao didn't know that he had been targeted for a long time. After taking the medicine from Li Si, he secretly came to Shanhai Bay.
Taking advantage of the night, he climbed over the wall and entered Shanhai Bay, thinking that he had done it perfectly.
The two security guards in the security room looked at his face magnified on the surveillance screen and, as Chen Wan had said, pretended not to see it.
Shen Shuhao had already found out from Shen Jiaojiao that Shen Wan lived in Villa No. 44.
He thought that Shanhai Bay was still a deserted haunted house like before, but when he went in, he found that it was more luxurious than the previous Shen family's, with a great view, and there was no sign of a haunted house at all.
Shen Shuhao found Villa No. 44. The gate was closed. He climbed over the wall into the garden and sneaked in through the kitchen window.
The lights were still on in the living room.
He hid behind the cupboard and saw that the lights were still on in the living room. A very beautiful woman was writing and drawing.
"She is Shen Wan?"
Shen Shuhao's face was full of disbelief, and he tried hard to find traces of the country bumpkin she used to be on her face and body.
Unfortunately, not found.
