Chapter 455: Crying at the Grave
Old Xiao turned his head suddenly, and his cloudy eyes stared at him sharply.
The elder felt uneasy and said, "I am not talking nonsense, Elder Xiao, you have also seen how Wen Li has become. Besides, everyone in the Hua Clan can testify that what I said is the truth!"
"During the Aishan zombie incident, Xiao Wan was almost blown to death. It was Wen Li's order."
Elder Xiao did not listen to the elder's one-sided words, and said coldly: "I believe in Xiao Wan's character. She is not the kind of girl who is arrogant and domineering. She knows her limits. If Wen Li had not gone too far, would she have killed him?"
The Great Elder was dumbfounded: "Mr. Xiao! The one lying on the bed dying is your own son, why are you so mean?"
"Even if Chen Wan is your granddaughter, she is just a granddaughter. How can she be more important than your own son who has been raised by your side since childhood?"
When the Great Elder saw how Old Xiao was defending Chen Wan, he couldn't help but wonder if Chen Wan had cast some kind of spell on the old man.
Or is it that Mr. Xiao is too old and really confused?
Old Xiao glared at him and said, "I know what kind of person my son is."
"He stopped Xiao Wan from returning to the Xiao family to recognize her ancestry. He must have seen something."
"But no matter what his intentions were, he shouldn't have attacked Yin Qiu's child."
"It's cruel and sad that relatives kill each other!"
The Great Elder's expression changed: "Master Xiao, do you mean to just let it go?"
Mr. Xiao was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Both sides are wrong. If we continue to argue, both sides will suffer."
The Great Elder was extremely angry. He originally thought that Elder Xiao would feel distressed when he saw Xiao Wenli was seriously injured and unconscious, and would go looking for trouble with Chen Wan.
In the end, he actually said forget it?
The Great Elder laughed angrily: "Okay, okay, since it is your Xiao family's business, our Hua faction will not interfere."
Old Xiao stepped forward and held Xiao Wenli's skinny hand, praying silently: "Wenli, no matter what happened between you and Xiaowan in the past, Dad doesn't blame you. Wake up soon. As long as you wake up, everything will be fine."
If Wen Li does not wake up, or is really dead, then the Xiao family will really not accept a murderer as their ancestor.
He couldn't really forgive Xiao Wan in his heart.
So, my son must wake up!
…
Qi Chong drove his old car with Shen Wan to the gate of the Qin family in the imperial capital.
Shen Wan glanced at the arrangement of brass rivets on the more than three-meter-high ebony gate, then lowered his gaze to the ink-colored stone lions on both sides that were taller than humans.
The stone lion has its eyes wide open, looking very intimidating.
"The Qin family is one of the four great families in the imperial capital, and is an educational family." Qi Chong said, "Most of their family members are engaged in the education industry. There are people from their family in famous universities at home and abroad, and they hold many important positions in the education sector. It can be said that there are people from their family in the entire Chinese education system, and they have cultivated many outstanding talents..."
"This time, it was Old Master Qin who came to me and said that there was something wrong with the feng shui of their Qin family's ancestral tomb, and he wanted you to take a look."
Shen Wan glanced at the records, "The sound of ghosts crying in the middle of the night at the ancestral grave is quite interesting."
Qi Chong nodded: "The Qin family's ancestral tomb has always been guarded by a special person. Recently, the sound of a woman crying can be heard every midnight."
"At first the gravekeeper thought it was a girl crying. He searched everywhere but couldn't find her. He thought it was a prank and didn't take it seriously. Who knew the crying continued for three consecutive days?"
"The gravekeeper found a few people to keep watch at night, but the crying sound continued to be heard on time. After searching around, they found that the crying sound came from one of the ancestor's tombs. They were so scared that they didn't dare to dig the graves privately, so they reported it to Mr. Qin."
"Boss, I have to remind you of one thing." Qi Chong glanced at the surveillance camera on the door and said in a low voice: "The Qin family are all educators. Except for Mr. Qin who believes in metaphysics, no one else believes in it."
"Mr. Qin is a very kind person. If it weren't for his face, I wouldn't be willing to take this case."
Shen Wan smiled faintly: “I know Mr. Qin, he is a great philanthropist like Mr. Lu, and he has donated thousands of rural primary schools. He is indeed a good person.”
"However, when I knew about the Qin family in my last life, the Qin family had already declined."
Qi Chong was shocked: "Decline? The Qin family is one of the four major families, how could it decline?"
"Mr. Qin alone has many students all over the world. The Qin family's connections are not exaggerated. They have long built an extremely large and influential network of connections. How could it decline?"
Chen Wan: "It's just immoral."
Qi Chong was even more shocked.
Who is being immoral?
The ebony door slowly opened, and a middle-aged man dressed as a butler walked out.
He looked the two up and down, raised his chin proudly, and looked at them with his nose, "My old man has been waiting for you for a long time, come in."
Without waiting for the two to respond, he walked in on his own.
Qi Chong gave Chen Wan an awkward smile.
The two followed in.
In the study, Mr. Qin, wearing a light grey cotton Tang suit, was concentrating on the yellowed ancient book in his hand with his head down.
"Grandpa, the people have arrived." The butler came to the door and said respectfully.
His attitude is completely different from before.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Qin quickly put down the ancient book and greeted the two people with a gentle face, "Your distinguished guests are here, please take a seat!"
"My dear prince, quickly take out my treasured collection of 18 imperial West Lake Longjing trees to entertain our distinguished guests!"
Butler Wang quickly made some tea and served it respectfully, "Dear guest, please have some tea."
Qi Chong deliberately teased him: "Did you spit in your tea?"
Butler Wang's face froze, and he forced himself to smile, "Of course not!"
"Really?" Qi Chong beeped loudly: "From the moment you opened the door and let us in, you looked down on us. I thought you hated us and despised us!"
Old Master Qin glanced at Butler Wang with a cold gaze.
Butler Wang was so frightened that his face turned pale. He hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, I don't look down on you. You are the distinguished guests invited by the old man. How dare I!"
He saw that the two were dressed simply and thought they were charlatans, so he really disliked them...
Who knew that this man was so outspoken that he actually exposed his own shortcomings in front of the old man, making him lose face.
"Xiao Wang, you are really getting more and more successful. You even dare to neglect the distinguished guests I personally invited." Old Master Qin said seriously, "I don't need you to take care of the house anymore. Go wherever you like."
He can't tell who is the big king and who is the small king, and he is taking advantage of the power of others to bully others. He has offended the master of metaphysics!
The Qin family can’t afford to offend!
Butler Wang left in shame with a sad face.
Old Master Qin said apologetically, "Master Shen, I'm sorry that you encountered such a thing when you first came to our house. It's my fault for not disciplining you strictly. Please don't take it to heart."
Shen Wan waved his hand: “Tell me, what’s going on with the ancestral tomb?”
When Mr. Qin mentioned the ancestral grave, his serious face was instantly shrouded in fear.
