Chapter 39 Chapter 39
The head brother finally decided not to bother with this junior brother who had intermittent brain twitches, and just silently lit a candle for his master in his heart - his late reputation is gone in the blink of an eye, isn't it just bullying the master? He is dead and has no mouth to speak!
He directly avoided the topic and said dully: "Earlier, you said that you had a bad premonition, so I asked Elder He from Sande Temple to do a fortune-telling for you. Now the result is out..."
Yuan Tian's heart trembled, and his eyes gradually became solemn. Elder He of Sande Temple was famous for his fortune-telling skills. Yuan Tian's fate was told to him by his master when he was a child. He didn't know what conditions the head brother had used to get the old man to tell his fortune, but judging from his tone, it was probably not a good omen...
He pursed his lips and said in a muffled voice: "A bad omen?"
"Yes." The head brother didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "Elder He said that I'm afraid your time is coming. You should pay attention in the near future..."
Yuan Tian's heart trembled, and he smiled bitterly: "If paying attention is useful, what's the point of destiny?"
The head brother was silent. Indeed, fate cannot be changed. Even if it is changed by force, there will always be another more tragic price to pay. A few years ago, a Taoist tried to change his fate against the will of heaven, but he died even more miserably, and even died in a more horrible way than the initial hexagram. Changing his fate not only failed to make him live a few more days, but also implicated the people around him. It can be said that he lost more than he gained.
It was a blessing, not a disaster. There was no way to avoid it. The head brother had no choice but to tell him to call if he had anything, and gave him some other instructions before hanging up the phone.
Yuan Tian had long since become indifferent to death, so he did not tell Tang Yang about the hexagram. He had already prepared people for it before they got together, it was just a matter of time. He sighed, lay down on the bed, and soon fell asleep.
Compared with the head brother who was so worried about his fellow disciples from afar that he didn't sleep all night, he seemed a little heartless.
The couple slept until the evening and asked the hourly worker to cook dinner. Tang Yang's cooking skills were not good enough, and Xiao Jing would rather eat instant noodles than his cooking.
In the evening, when the two of them watched TV with Xiao Jing in the living room, they chose a more serious drama about political intrigue in ancient times. This was chosen by Yuan Tian, who always felt that Xiao Jing was watching those melodramatic dramas recently, and was afraid that his worldview would be distorted.
While they were discussing the plot, Tang Yang's mind had already wandered to the horizon, wondering whether he should take advantage of the good times and take a step further with his A Yuan. They had only held hands since they started dating, and had never even kissed, which was really pitiful.
However, before he could figure out the result, his cell phone rang. He picked it up carelessly, and the sinister voice of his assistant Xiao Li rang in his ears.
"Boss Tang! Do you still remember your company by Daming Lake?"
Tang Yang: “…………” Oh boy, I really forgot.
He remained calm and said, "You and the managers should take more responsibility. I'm quite busy recently."
Xiao Li on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then he began to chatter: "Doesn't the Tang Group have someone to take care of it? Although your grandfather is missing, the operation of the group has not been affected. The old man also made many preparations before his death, so the group will not fail without someone, right? You can just sit back and collect money for the group, but our company can't. You must know the consequences if no one is at the helm during the development period. What else can be more important than making the company you founded bigger and stronger? What are you busy with..."
Tang Yang's tone was full of pride, and he even straightened his chest unconsciously: "I'm busy accompanying your boss lady."
Xiao Li paused and said dryly, "I heard people in the company discussing that the boss's wife is the young boss Yuan, right? That... that's very important... It's not easy for you, Mr. Tang, to find a partner..."
Yuan Tian, who was sitting on the sofa next to him, couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips when he heard this.
Seeing his smile, Tang Yang couldn't help but curl his lips as well, and said impatiently into the phone: "Okay, I'll go to the company tomorrow. You first list all the more important projects in the near future, and then notify all departments to hold a meeting at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning."
Xiao Li immediately responded as if he had received an imperial decree, saying in a competent voice: "As you command! Then Mr. Tang, you can have your relationship first, I won't bother you anymore!"
Seeing Tang Yang hang up the phone, Yuan Tian smiled and said, "Brother Tang, I always feel that your employees must call me a scoundrel in private."
"That's perfect," Tang Yang said with a smile, "Not everyone is lucky enough to be King Zhou of Shang."
Xiao Jing was not willing to be lonely: "What about me? What am I?"
"Fox son and grandson." Tang Yang naturally responded.
This sentence made Yuan Tian laugh even more happily. Just as he was about to continue joking, he found that Tang Yang's brows were filled with worry. His heart tightened, and he remembered that he had not told Tang Yang about the hexagram, so he asked in a low voice: "Brother Tang, what's wrong?"
Tang Yang slowly put away his smile, his face darkened, and he slowly said: "Xiao Li was recruited when I first founded the company. There are many things about our group that I have never understood. I also did not tell Xiao Li that my grandfather was missing. Moreover, he mentioned the word 'before his death' at the end..."
That means that Xiao Li not only knew that Tang Yang's grandfather was missing, but also knew that he had died a long time ago. Yuan Tian's face changed. In this case, there are only two possibilities. One is that Tang Yang's grandfather is his master, and Xiao Li is an insider. And his master really died a long time ago. Xiao Li may even be someone arranged by his master to be with Tang Yang.
There is another possibility that his master and Tang Yang's grandfather are not the same person. Then, the disappearance may not be a disappearance, but...
Yuan Tian's mind flashed with scenes of family feuds among wealthy families in TV dramas - kidnapping, murder, death. Xiao Li was a commercial spy and murderer.
His heart felt cold, and he quickly held Tang Yang's hand and whispered, "So what are you going to do?"
"We don't know his purpose, so let's not rush to alert him." Tang Yang held his hand and said calmly, "I'll find someone to investigate tomorrow and try it out again. If your master is my grandfather, maybe we can follow the clues to find out the real reason."
Yuan Tian agreed with this, and the two chatted about related things for a while before continuing to watch TV. Xiao Jing didn't like to listen to these serious things, and couldn't understand them, so he just focused on watching TV, and now he was considerate enough to tell them the plot they missed.
The family of three is having a great time together, and the atmosphere is as warm as a painting that never fades.
The next morning, Tang Yang went to work as scheduled. He wanted to invite his son Yuan to come with him, but unfortunately the boss said he wanted to stay in bed, which was unusual, so he gave up.
Yuan Tian didn't really want to stay in bed, but he had a low fever. He guessed that he caught a cold from being outside in the cold wind for too long the night before.
He was no longer surprised by these minor illnesses, and this one was not as serious as last time, so he did not tell Tang Yang.
While resting at home, he did not forget what he promised to the evil spirit Yu Qingfeng. When they separated last night, Yu Qingfeng had told him in detail the information and general appearance of Mo Weian that he wanted to find. However, he searched for a long time on his phone, but no matter the dynasty, name, or position, he could not find any match, so he had to put it aside for the time being.
In the afternoon, he felt that there was nothing wrong with his health, so he thought about taking Xiao Jing out.
Thinking about how he rarely took the little ghost out to play since he picked him up, and thinking about his own bad omen, Yuan Tian decided to put his brother Tang's card in his pocket and take the little ghost to the mall to buy some clothes.
It's almost Chinese New Year, and every child should wear new clothes. The fatherly boss Yuan spent his husband's money without any regrets to pay for Xiao Jing, his big son.
There are not many days left when he can spend money, and he really doesn't plan to save money at this time.
On the other side, inside Tang Yang’s company.
"Boss Tang," Xiao Li pointed at his phone and looked at Tang Yang who had just returned from the bathroom, and whispered, "Did you give your card to the boss lady? I saw your phone kept ringing, and I accidentally glanced at it, and it was all payment information."
Although he didn't show any emotion on his face, he was actually muttering in his heart, it seems that Boss Yuan is not a good person, he doesn't hesitate to spend Mr. Tang's money. It's a pity for Mr. Tang, he has given his heart to the wrong person!
Tang Yang nodded, walked over quickly and picked up his phone to take a look. It was full of small purchases of tens or hundreds of dollars. He raised his eyebrows slightly, waved his hand gloomily to signal Xiao Li to go out, and made a phone call at the same time.
I guess they are ready to break up. Xiao Li walked to the door and silently made a cross for Boss Yuan. No man is willing to be treated as an ATM by the other party, especially a man like their Boss Tang who is not easily moved.
Then he heard his boss speak slowly into the phone in an extremely gentle voice: "A Yuan, do you have enough money? Don't buy such cheap things... The same goes for Xiao Jing, buy something more expensive, which is of good quality and comfortable to wear..."
Xiao Li stumbled and nearly fell to the ground and got beaten to death. Well, he had overestimated Mr. Tang.
Yuan Tian felt a little tired after shopping for a while, so she ordered afternoon tea with Xiao Jing.
Because of Xiao Jing, he chose a seat in the corner and made sure that the camera could not see him and no one would notice him. Before they finished eating, Yuan Tian received a message from Cong Shu, the Taoist priest of Sande Temple, with whom he had worked before. The two of them had handled matters for a female star together with Tang Yang, and Yuan Tian was asked by Cong Shu to pay a million yuan.
Thinking of that account, Yuan Tian felt depressed until he saw the content of the message: "Daoyou Yang An, the martial arts world is in urgent need of help. Please help as soon as possible. A generous reward!"
He was shocked and immediately sent a message to ask him what happened. Putting aside the fact that they had worked together before, their Taoist temple and Sande Temple had always been on good terms. Moreover, he had just received a divination from the elders of the temple and owed them a favor, so he couldn't just sit back and ignore this kind of information.
Cong Shu directly called him back with a video call, revealing a pale face. He smiled bitterly and said in a slightly weak voice: "Fellow Daoist Yang An, you are in S City, right? Can you come to help me out?"
"Tell me first, what's going on?"
Cong Shu was also straightforward and said, "You know Hua Mu, right? She's the little celebrity from that crappy variety show you first befriended."
Yuan Tian nodded. If that little girl hadn't accidentally broken the little formation he had set up, he wouldn't have met Tang Meng, let alone Xiao Jing and his elder brother Tang. In fact, that girl could indirectly be called his matchmaker.
"I'm an old acquaintance of her grandmother. She's a fortune teller. She was recently involved in an incident. By the way, maybe you've heard of the person involved..."
After Cong Shu's explanation, Yuan Tian finally understood that he had heard of the person involved. It was none other than Chen Xiaofu, the richest man in the village where he had found Xiao Jing before.
The cause of the incident was that Chen Xiaofu, who was doing business in S City, had recently encountered evil spirits, so he looked for capable people everywhere. But strangely, he didn't trust Taoist priests and monks, and was only willing to look for those witches and the like. Hua Mu's grandmother happened to be found.
But strangely, after she met Chen Xiaofu, she never returned home and disappeared without a trace. Her family then contacted Cong Shu and asked him to help find her.
"That's why I came to S City. I'm at Chen Xiaofu's company now. I've made an appointment with Chen Xiaofu and asked him to wait for me at the company. I'll talk to him in person in an hour when his company's employees get off work."
Yuan Tian stroked the rim of the milk tea cup and asked in a low voice: "Do you think there is an evil creature or a master around him, and you can't deal with it?"
"Ah, that's not the case." Cong Shu's expression twisted slightly, and he said, "I secretly took a look at him. There is a bit of evil spirit around him, but it's not too strong."
Yuan Tian didn't understand: "Then you can handle it by yourself, why bother looking for me?"
"It's because I have a stomachache..." A blush appeared on Cong Shu's pale face, and he said dryly: "I, I'm afraid that I will have a stomachache while fighting with the ghost..."
“…………”
Yuan Tian was shocked that the famous Taoist priest of Sande Temple asked for help because he had a stomachache. He subconsciously said, "You won't call for a break in the middle of the game?"
Cong Shu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is it possible?"
Xiao Jing muttered to the side: "Why not? Ghosts also have martial ethics!"
Yuan Tian nodded affirmatively. "You still care about hygiene! Ghosts don't like to smell bad odors, right?"
