It is difficult to manage people's hearts

eally want to slap him twice! We put in so much effort! He actually just started joking around as soon as he came to his senses!Looking at Cheng Banxian's haggard appearance, I felt a pang of pity. I...That's scary.

She glared at me coldly, as if I had said something wrong.

"Little girl, don't talk nonsense. I came to see the doctor to 'treat an illness'."

Dao Zong whispered to me, "My sister is highly influential. This matter cannot be leaked, or it will harm her career. We'll tell everyone we're seeking medical treatment..."

Hmph, I scoffed.

When Sister Lu saw that I understood, she continued, “After the bodies of the buried workers were dug up, they were all curled up. Logically speaking, after being buried for a few days, the rigor mortis would have subsided, but looking at the photos, the bodies were stiff as mummies, which was very abnormal.”

“…This mine is on the border, deserted and uninhabited. Some people cross the border every day to work. All those who work in the mine are refugees who have lost their homes because of the war. These people have no one to care for them even if they die; they just want to eat, so they're bold… I don't know what they found in the mine. There has never been an accident before this mine, and safety regulations were always followed.”

Sister Lu continued to explain, "I suspect it was these displaced people who were operating illegally in the mine. They probably discovered something they wanted to hoard for themselves, and used machinery to excavate it secretly, which led to the collapse... But now everything is buried, and everyone who was there at the time is dead. We don't know what exactly happened."

My father stroked his beard and asked, "Then, how did you find out that something was wrong with your family"

Sister Lu was taken aback, probably not understanding my father's old-fashioned way of speaking.

"Elder of the family, this was originally a respectful term referring to the head of a household."

However, in today's society, the head of the household is often a woman, which makes the term "head of the household" sound slightly teasing.

"I'm just asking how your husband could be in this state." I explained.

Sister Lu nodded, her fingers crossed on the table, looking like a big leader at a meeting. She said calmly: "Since those bodies were dug up that night, someone started getting infected with a strange plague. The local sanitation conditions are poor, so my husband could only pay to disband the construction team and temporarily seal off the mine pit."

"But after he returned, he initially said he had recurring nightmares. Then one day, he seemed to sleepwalk and rolled down the stairs, injuring his leg and being confined to bed. However, his condition worsened while he was in bed; he started talking nonsense during the day as well..."

"What nonsense are you talking about" I asked curiously.

"I don't understand, I have no idea what they are saying, it's like gibberish." Sister Lu frowned deeply, showing a hint of disgust: "And then the whole person becomes abnormal. Besides knowing how to eat and drink for basic survival, they gradually lose their consciousness. They are aggressive towards everyone except me."

Are you afraid of me Does Lu Jie run the house with an iron fist

My father stroked his beard and said, “You have the air of a warrior, the aura of an official. Ordinary ghosts and demons would be more afraid of you and wouldn't dare to provoke you.”

Sister Lu really looks fierce. She's stronger than the average woman, and her face and expressions are very stern. Her husband must have very low status at home.

"Could this be the spirits of the jade mine's victims haunting us Did your husband do something to wrong those souls" I pretended not to see Lu Jie's angry glare.

It's a matter of yin and yang, what does she mean by deceiving herself

“If you don't believe in yin and yang, don't come to people in our circle for help. If your heart is not sincere, it's better not to believe. Having doubts and being half-hearted is a kind of sacrilege. There's a rule in our industry: those who don't believe are not treated.” I shrugged at her and continued—

"Don't talk about how much you offered in commission fees, even if it was millions, my family doesn't worry about food and clothing. There's no need to compromise our morals and cultivation for money. Besides, you guys are half-believing and half-doubting, and if I can't cure you, you'll vandalize my house photos! Thanks to that... If you're so afraid of yin and yang affairs, then why not go to the hospital Your family isn't short on money. Rent out an entire floor and hire doctors to treat you. We won't mind if it works."

Sister Lu's face wasn't looking good. Mr. Dao stepped in to smooth things over: "Sister, Miss Yin Er has a point. Now that we're behind closed doors, there's no need to be so guarded… Besides, if we just say we don't believe her, it would be disrespectful. The head of the Yin family is very difficult to see. He just returned from Hong Kong, and I immediately went to visit him."

I raised an eyebrow and said, "If it weren't for General Dao's sincere and polite visit, I estimate that my family would have sent a disciple to handle it. Now that my father has personally come to see you, and you still seem hesitant and disbelieving, then what are we rushing for Let's just go back."

If it were a normal day, my dad would have scolded me on the surface for arguing with customers.

But today he didn't scold me, and instead nodded in agreement: "You're right, Doctor Dao Xuan, doesn't treat those who don't believe. This is the admonition left by our ancestor... We should go back now—don't delay your wedding."

Pff... I almost choked on my tea.

Dad, you're being so serious. What did Mu Wanchen give you

When Sister Lu heard us say this, she was also a little panicked. The atmosphere at the entrance of the villa's staircase was strange, and she probably wouldn't dare to go up.

"Well... maybe I overthought things... After all, this kind of hard-to-understand thing, I really can't let it slip. Now everyone at home thinks it's a serious illness, only me and my brother know the specifics." Lu Jie's tone softened a bit.

"Well then, why don't the three of you come up and take a look with me" Daozong replied.

My father nodded. "Treat the ailment early, so we can go back sooner."

Originally, my father didn't want me to go up, but he wasn't at ease leaving me down below either. I followed behind Ninth Senior Brother and said, "I'll just take a look by the door, I won't go in."

As soon as I stepped onto the third floor, goosebumps erupted all over my body. The two bodyguards standing by the stairwell, both sporting sunglasses, looked like they'd seen it all. These guys usually had a cold, intimidating aura about them; they weren't easily fazed by such an atmosphere, and besides, they couldn't see anything out of the ordinary anyway.

Even ghosts are afraid of bad people.

Good people are often the ones who get taken advantage of, especially someone like me!

The moment the luxurious wooden door to the bedroom swung open, a wave of black energy surged past my dad and slammed into me— I was at the very back!

Is this how you treat someone

Liang Xiaoge's paper figure was on me. He whispered, "Get out of the way!"

I cowered, burying my head, and to the side. The black mist lunged but missed, immediately retreating. Behind the door, it seemed like an abyss, a dark pit with not a glimmer of light.

Sister Lu was both surprised and angry, she whispered angrily: "I only went out for a meeting for two days, who made the room like this! Did you all pull the blackout curtains all the way down!"

She stepped inside while speaking. We saw her walk to the window by the light in the hallway, about to reach out and pull the curtains. Suddenly, a hand shot out from behind the curtains, grabbing her wrist—ces as omens of widespread chaos and upheaval.When the world was in chaos...I can't say whether the world is in chaos or not, but I know things are definitely going to get messy soon.As the smoke clea...
