Chapter 22: The man behind the scenes reveals his true identity
As soon as Jiang Chu arrived at the door, he was warmly welcomed by He Yuan: "Master Jiang, you are finally here!"
Jiang Chu nodded slightly and saw a man and a woman standing behind him. The woman was wearing her jade Buddha around her neck and there was a sick aura on her forehead.
It seems that this is Mrs. He, Song Qingxiu. As for the man next to her, he has some similarities between his eyebrows and He Yuan, so he should be He Jianhua, the head of the He family.
Song Qingxiu didn't expect that the master who saved her was such a young girl. She felt very incredible: "You are actually Master Jiang. You look only in your early twenties."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and took Jiang Chu's hand familiarly: "You are so handsome, I wonder if you are married?"
Hearing this, He Jianhua quickly pulled her back to apologize to Jiang Chu: "My wife is usually spoiled by us at home. If anything she said upset you, please don't take it to heart."
Song Qingxiu also knew that she had said the wrong thing.
Who made Master Jiang so handsome that she couldn't help but want to get close to him?
"Nothing." Jiang Chu chuckled. "Your Madam is very lovely. I don't feel offended."
He Jianhua breathed a sigh of relief, and when Song Qingxiu met her smiling eyes, her face immediately turned red.
How can there be such a beautiful and gentle person?
Song Qingxiu has great merits, and Jiang Chu likes such a virtuous person very much.
He Yuan: "When the headmaster's wife heard that I wanted to meet you, she insisted on coming to thank you in person."
Song Qingxiu quickly took out a red box and handed it to Jiang Chu: "I don't know what you like, so I'll give you this jade pendant as a thank you gift."
Jiang Chu could feel the pure spiritual energy coming towards him through the box. There must be good stuff in it.
"I'm sorry, ma'am." Jiang Chu refused. "He Yuan already paid the fee for exorcising the evil spirit for you yesterday. I can't accept it."
"We in the Xuanmen sect believe in cause and effect. The cause of exorcising the evil spirit for you was fulfilled last night."
It would be a lie to say that she didn't want it. If I had known that she would use this as a thank-you gift today, I would not have accepted He Yuan's money yesterday.
Jiang Chu's heart was bleeding. The rich spiritual energy was mixed with wisps of purple air...
Song Qingxiu could only take back the box.
This real master is different. She accepted everything the people she had found before gave her, but later she found out that they were just half-baked.
He Yuan returned to the topic: "Yesterday we investigated the Huang family and Sun Qingyue, but we only found that they were suspected of human trafficking. We found no clues about the Jade Buddha."
"The master's wife bought the jade Buddha from a stall owned by a man in a black robe at the night market. We couldn't find any information about it when we checked."
No wonder the police suddenly came to arrest people. Jiang Chu was surprised: "You didn't even find out that they were trading organs and had an underground human laboratory."
Forget about the jade Buddha, after all, it is related to metaphysics, but the He family didn't even find any clues about such a big thing as the organ trading and laboratory.
There is only one possibility -
"It's the Eight Great Families!"
The three of them spoke at the same time.
The He family, the Fu family, the Song family, and the Tao family are all among the eight top families in Kyoto.
Only the eight major families have the ability to keep the news secret so strictly.
"I'll leave this matter to you to investigate. I learned about it from the soul of the victim, and I don't have any substantial evidence."
Jiang Chu took out several yellow talismans from his bag and gave them to He Yuan. "This talisman is called the Sky Eye Talisman. One talisman can allow you to communicate with ghosts for an hour."
"Go find Sun Qingyue in prison. There are many wronged souls attached to her. They will be happy to tell you where the clues are."
Jiang Chu has no power or influence now, so he can only let the He family handle this matter. Clearing the criminal den in advance can also prevent many people from suffering.
Sure enough, when He Yuan took the yellow talisman and promised to find evidence.
Jiang Chu suddenly felt a heat in his dantian, and a golden light appeared in his sea of consciousness and merged with it.
Jiang Chu was speechless. She had worked tirelessly for three days, not only had she dealt with the troublemaker Hu Ziqian but she had also taken down that laboratory. And this was all she had achieved? She was just giving away beggars!
As if hearing Jiang Chu's complaint, two golden lights appeared in his sea of consciousness.
Jiang Chu: ...
Has this thing become a spirit?
No, can one become a spirit through good deeds?
She must have been overthinking it. How could merit have its own consciousness?
However, the more merits he gained, the more Jiang Chu's strength would recover.
From Hu Ziqian, the Jade Buddha, and the evil ghost of the Mu family, all clues point to Xinghua Village and the soul that took over Jiang Chu's identity.
Compared with the previous three, the soul that is suspected to be related to Country R is more worthy of Jiang Chu's attention.
It was probably done by that old Taoist priest from Country R!
After everything was explained, Jiang Chu went back.
Song Qingxiu sighed, "Master Jiang is very powerful, and his character is impeccable. If it were someone else, they would have accepted the gift long ago."
He Jianhua said to He Yuan, "Aren't the higher-ups planning to set up a bureau for strange stories soon? I think Master Jiang would be perfect for the role."
He Yuan completely agreed: "Master Jiang's ability to create talismans alone is enough to make him the number one person in Xuanmen."
When Jiang Chu returned to the Fu family, he was warmly welcomed by the mother and son.
Tao Wan was holding a fruit plate with neatly arranged fruits on it. "Chu Chu, have an apple. I picked this one myself. It's delicious."
Fu Ciyan was not willing to be left behind and took out the cakes he had bought: "This is the most delicious cake in Kyoto. I waited in line for two hours to buy it."
Faced with the two people's sudden enthusiasm, Jiang Chu tasted it and said: "The apple is sweet and crisp, and the pastry is soft and delicious."
Both of them were satisfied.
Fu Qingan, who had just returned, felt very strange when he saw his own mother and brother surrounding Jiang Chu with smiles on their faces and asking about his well-being.
When did they become so close?
Is it just because I gave two useless pieces of yellow paper?
She couldn't figure it out.
Anyway, she would never bow to that woman. She caught a cold after being pushed into the water in front of so many people that day. Her nose has been blocked and she feels very uncomfortable these days.
It's all her fault!
Fu Qingan went straight upstairs.
Jiang Chu suddenly felt a strange smell and turned around to see Fu Qingan going upstairs.
"I have something else to do, so I'll go up first."
Jiang Chu went upstairs under the regretful gazes of the two men.
Just as she caught up with Fu Qing'an, the latter suddenly turned around and looked at her fiercely: "Don't think that you can fit into this family just because my mother and brother accept you. I remember everything you did before."
"Don't use your hypocritical tactics against me. I'm not like them. I can't be flattered with just a few words."
After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Chu to speak, he slammed the door shut!
Jiang Chu, who was met with a setback, said: ...
She just wanted to tell Fu Qing'an not to go out in the next few days.
Just now she figured out that Fu Qingan had recently gotten into trouble with a bad love affair, and this bad love affair might even endanger her life.
Because of that fake Jiang Chu, she simply couldn't listen to what Jiang Chu said, and if she did, she would probably think Jiang Chu was crazy.
However, Jiang Chu looked at her face and thought that this bad love affair had just begun, so there was no problem for the time being.
Jiang Chu has a miserable life. In order to sever the causal connection between this body and the Fu family, he has to solve the supernatural events outside while taking care of the safety of the Fu family.
Then there is this body’s husband Fu Yuanzhou and father-in-law Fu Huanian.
It gives me a headache just thinking about it.
She was framed by capital.
Jiang Chu first went back to his room to prepare the things he would need for going to Xinghua Village tomorrow.
Having absorbed some merit just now, her strength has recovered a little, and now she has at least one tenth of her strength from her previous life.
That's really cause for celebration.
It's really worth it for her hard work.
If she prepares some life-saving items, she should be able to go to Xinghua Village.
Jiang Chu packed up all the things he wanted to take away and cast a fortune.
The hexagram showed that she was still missing something.
"I've only been here a few days, what else is there?"
Her eyes swept over the pile of lotus flowers next to her, and an idea flashed in her mind.
