My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married
Chapter 1089 Nighttime Ritual
Lu Yuxuan is now the only mistress of this villa, and the servants working here will naturally only obey her orders.
Chen Anshui was blocked by two maids and could not take another step forward.
Zhang Hao told him to wait outside. Chen Anshui was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
Upon reaching the bar on the balcony, Lu Yuxuan had a bottle of red wine worth over ten thousand yuan opened and personally poured Zhang Hao a glass.
The delicate aroma of the wine wafted into Zhang Hao's nostrils. He hadn't drunk any wine in a long time, and the sudden scent stirred a strong desire within him.
However, even when drinking, he always stays sober.
Lu Yuxuan politely invited him to drink with her: "Mr. Han, wouldn't you like to try a glass? This is a rare and excellent wine."
"Your wife specifically asked me to come here, so there must be something important to discuss, right?"
Zhang Hao picked up his wine glass and took a small sip of red wine. As the wine went down his throat, he seemed to relax a bit.
Noticing the change in Zhang Hao's attitude, Lu Yuxuan finally spoke up and revealed her true thoughts.
"Actually, this matter is both difficult and simple. I just hope that you can help me solve all the paranormal problems around me."
Zhang Hao wasn't surprised to hear this; he just thought the woman was incredibly arrogant.
If he helps her solve those paranormal events, he'll probably be the next one to be dealt with.
After all, this woman is capable of anything to kill someone and silence them.
"What if I refuse?" Zhang Hao asked tentatively.
If you agree immediately, the other party might become suspicious. To dispel their doubts, some back and forth is necessary.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, the other party not only didn't get angry, but patiently explained, "Mr. Han, if you can help me solve my problem, I will give you a large sum of money, enough for you to live a carefree and comfortable life for the rest of your days. What do you think?"
Zhang Hao nodded: "This offer is indeed very tempting."
Unfortunately, this may be true for ordinary people.
People who have mastered skills such as corpse-driving, yin-yang feng shui, and dragon vein location, although they value money, it is not their most important asset.
Therefore, using money to lure Zhang Hao is a terrible idea.
“Mr. Han, this is the deposit. After the deal is done, I will give you every penny that is due.” As she spoke, Lu Yuxuan pushed a filled-out check in front of Zhang Hao.
The amount on that check was enough to drive any ordinary person crazy.
However, Zhang Hao remained calm and composed, picking up the check and examining it carefully: "Madam, you are truly generous."
"Mr. Han is a truly capable man, and I have always admired men with real skills. So, Mr. Han, please don't let me down."
Zhang Hao's gesture of holding the check indicated that he had agreed to the other party's conditions, which made Lu Yuxuan very happy.
Zhang Hao smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I know what to do."
As for whether to do it according to your wishes or according to my own plan, that goes without saying.
Zhang Hao's words completely put Lu Yuxuan at ease. She stood up from her chair, turned around, and walked towards the balcony: "Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Han."
As she spoke, Lu Yuxuan walked out unhurriedly. Seeing Chen Anshui pacing back and forth outside, looking restless and agitated, she deliberately gave him a provocative and bright smile.
Chen Anshui's face instantly darkened.
At this moment, Butler An Yuan stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said, "Madam, some friends have come to offer their condolences. Would you like to go down and greet them?"
Lu Yuxuan gave Chen Anshui a provocative smile, brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, and calmly said, "Then go ahead. After all, I am now the head of this family, so naturally I should do what a head of the family should do, unlike some people who only cause trouble at such a crucial time and make themselves a laughing stock."
Chen Anshui clenched his fists, wishing he could punch that woman and smash her damned, bright smile.
Zhang Hao appeared out of nowhere, gently patted Chen Anshui on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't be so angry. Things in this world can't always go as you wish."
Seeing that it was Mr. Han, her partner, who stopped Chen Anshui, Lu Yuxuan smiled even more smugly: "Mr. Han, then I'll trouble you. I'll go and get back to work now."
Zhang Hao waved gently at Lu Yuxuan, indicating that she could go about her business and not worry about him.
He watched Lu Yuxuan walk away, and the other servants also gradually withdrew. At this moment, Chen Anshui suddenly turned around, his face filled with anger, and demanded, "Have you already agreed to help that woman?"
Zhang Hao waved the check in his hand, and Chen Anshui's eyes widened instantly when he saw the number on the check! Such a huge amount made even him, a child who grew up in a wealthy family, feel his heart pound!
That's an enormous amount! That woman is incredibly generous! Money really does make the world go round!
Is it possible that the boss I've always trusted is finally going to side with Lu Yuxuan this time?
Thinking of Zhang Hao's unfathomable abilities, Chen Anshui felt that his revenge plan was probably hopeless!
A surge of intense grief and indignation welled up inside him, and his eyes instantly turned red, like an angry red rabbit staring straight at Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao couldn't help but laugh out loud and patted his head: "Don't look at me with that hateful look."
"You took that woman's money," Chen Anshui said with difficulty.
"Yes, I took her money, but what does that prove? Don't you think it was a choice made out of necessity?"
This is utterly shameless! If you don't want to, who can force you? Chen Anshui was filled with grief and indignation; he hadn't realized the power of money was so immense…
Seeing that his assistant had misunderstood, Zhang Hao stopped teasing him and pulled him outside to the balcony, where it was a safer spot and at least they wouldn't have to worry about being overheard.
"Don't worry, I'm not so easily bought off with this little bit of money. If you want to bribe me, the price will be much higher."
As he spoke, Zhang Hao handed the check to his assistant, patting him on the chest: "Young man, don't always be so impulsive. Many things in this world can't be solved by emotions alone. Tonight..."
Zhang Hao leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words. Chen Anshui, who had been furious, took a deep breath after hearing this and asked in a trembling voice, "Is this true?" "Absolutely true. When the time comes, just call everyone over. We adults will handle the rest."
After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he walked out.
He needs to go back and make some preparations, and also check how well Old Zhang is doing.
Zhang Hao left, but Chen Anshui remained in the same place.
At this moment, Chen Anshi returned. Seeing his elder brother there, he frowned and walked over, saying, "Mother is downstairs greeting the guests who have come to offer their condolences; she's already very tired. Elder brother, as the eldest son, you should also go and greet the guests..."
Chen Anshui didn't give him a friendly look at all, and said coldly, "Get out of my way!"
Chen Anshi frowned, looking disappointed: "Brother, Mom said that your personality has changed drastically because of Dad's death. You've become very cold and unapproachable. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that you've suffered too much of a shock... Never mind, I'll go down and take over for Mom. You should get some rest."
Chen Anshi turned to leave, but Chen Anshui suddenly called out to him, "Wait."
Chen Anshi turned his head and looked at his elder brother with a puzzled expression: "Brother, is there anything else?"
Chen Anshui walked up to him step by step, stared at his face, took a deep breath, and slowly asked, "If you found out that your mother was really the murderer who killed your father, what would you do?"
Chen Anshi, who had expected his elder brother to ask about serious matters, thought he had misheard when he first heard this.
"Big brother, what did you say?"
Chen Anshi asked again, still in disbelief.
Chen Anshui patiently repeated, "If you found out that your mother really killed your father, what would you do?"
Chen Anshi almost burst out laughing. He looked at his half-brother, no longer as friendly as before, and said coldly, "Mom told me before that you might have paranoia, blaming her for everything. I didn't believe it at first, after all, you've always acted quite mature, and I thought you wouldn't do something so unprofessional. But now, you've shown me with your actions that you've really become a fool!"
After saying that, Chen Anshi turned and left, clearly not wanting to say another word.
The other party is now his older brother, but his older brother actually slandered his mother like this. Even he would be angry!
Chen Anshui watched his half-brother leave without saying anything more. He just thought to himself, "When the truth comes out, you'll know that I wasn't lying!"
Night fell quietly, and the entire manor seemed to be shrouded in a sinister atmosphere.
Old Zhang had made preparations outside in advance, and Zhang Hao could hear everything happening inside through the listening device.
Zhang Hao then began the soul-summoning ritual.
In the garden of the courtyard, an altar was being set up, on which were placed gold and silver treasures made of white paper or other paper, as well as various funerary objects.
At this moment, Lu Yuxuan, who was watching all this from a distance, was filled with nervousness.
She could clearly feel that the little guardian spirit she used to worship on her back was staring at her longingly.
A cold wind howled past, dark clouds obscured the moon, and the entire manor seemed to be shrouded in a huge shadow.
Soon, we'll be able to deal with that annoying brat behind us.
Suddenly, the dark clouds in the sky grew thicker, giving the whole sky a sense of oppressive darkness.
The wind howled, causing the flowers and plants in the garden to sway and tilt, and even the others present were almost blown off their feet by the gale.
A gust of wind blew by, but the burning candle on the table remained motionless, as if it were completely unaffected by the wind.
Zhang Hao quickly grabbed a handful of cinnabar and threw it into the air. The scattered cinnabar instantly gathered together, emitting a faint red glow.
The red light gradually converged, forming a human-shaped outline. When the red light dissipated, everyone's eyes widened instantly upon seeing the person who had appeared!
They saw someone who shouldn't have been there! To be precise, they saw a ghost who shouldn't have been there!
Lu Yuxuan, in particular, turned deathly pale upon seeing the person who appeared. She took several steps back and even tried to turn around and run away.
A flash of red light appeared, but Lu Yuxuan felt as if her body was completely controlled, and she was uncontrollably walking towards the direction of the ghost.
"Why do you run away when you see me? Do you have something to hide?" Chen Zixuan floated in front of her, narrowed his eyes, and asked in a gloomy tone.
Lu Yuxuan forced a smile and stammered, "No...no, I was just so surprised to see you..."
At this point, she really didn't know what to say next, so she could only turn her head and look at Zhang Hao with pleading eyes, hoping that he could explain the current situation.
“I think the current turmoil in your family is all because of the inheritance issue. So, I simply called the person in charge back and had him explain things to you personally. That way, your family's troubles will be resolved. As for that brat…”
Zhang Hao glanced at the brat hiding in the shadows, too afraid to come out, and calmly said, "You can deal with him whenever you want."
Chen Zixuan appeared as a ghost, which terrified Chen Anshi, who had always claimed not to be superstitious. Looking at his father, Chen Anshi trembled with fear and didn't know what to say. He finally mustered his courage and stepped forward: "Dad, is it really you? You've really come back?"
Chen Zixuan slapped him: "What? Seeing me, you don't believe I'm still alive? Are you afraid I won't give you a share of the property?"
Chen Anshi felt very wronged: "I didn't say that, you're the one who thought it that way."
Chen Zixuan was furious whenever this was mentioned. He glanced at the crowd and saw his eldest son hiding in the crowd, unwilling to come out. He was even angrier.
He forcibly dragged his eldest son out, glared at Lu Yuxuan, and said, "You woman! I won't leave you a single penny!"
Lu Yuxuan's face instantly turned ashen, and without thinking, she retorted, "That won't do! According to legal procedures, I am the first in line to inherit your property, and your things should rightfully belong to me!"
"Give it to you, you poisonous woman? You killed me, and you think I'm supposed to leave you my entire inheritance? Lu Yuxuan, I won't be fooled by you like before! You just wait! I absolutely won't give you a single penny!"
Chen Zixuan shouted angrily.
The voice was made no attempt to conceal itself, and everyone present could hear it clearly. Chen Anshi even thought he was hallucinating.
"Dad... calm down, don't say things like that," Chen Anshi said dryly.
However, Chen Zixuan sneered: "Why can't I do that? Isn't it better for me to do it this way? Besides, you have no idea what good things your mother has done in private!"
Under Lu Yuxuan's panicked gaze, Chen Zixuan prepared to reveal the woman's vicious scheme. Lu Yuxuan lunged forward, trying to push Chen Zixuan away and stop him from telling the truth, but she nearly fell into the bushes in her sudden movement. (End of Chapter)
