My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Mr. Chen's face, but he was thick-skinned enough to quickly pretend nothing was wrong and continue, "It's just a small matter, don't make a fuss about it. The reason I invited you here is to discuss with you whether you could introduce us to the expert behind you? We both desperately need that expert's help right now! After all, our physical condition has declined to varying degrees..."

Jiang Chen looked troubled, as if he didn't want to talk about it anymore.

"That person... if I hadn't unintentionally helped him before, he wouldn't have helped me. That old man has absolutely no interest in money. Even if I plead on his behalf, he probably wouldn't agree to see you... I... I'm really in a difficult position!"

Wei Yuze felt a surge of murderous intent. It turned out that an old man skilled in Yin-Yang magic was secretly sabotaging his plans! This person had to be eliminated.

"That's not difficult. First, get close to him and cultivate a good relationship. Once the relationship is established, you can help us make a connection, and he won't feel comfortable refusing. If that doesn't work, just give us the old man's address, and we'll visit him in person. We'll definitely show our sincerity."

Mr. Chen had already made up his mind that he had to see that person no matter what, only in this way could he ask him for help in solving his problems.

Anyway, he had already given up hope on the hospital, and he figured that cursing was something he should find someone knowledgeable to handle.

The doctor was useless; he had so many tests done at the hospital, but they found nothing. In the end, it was this little trick that solved the problem!
Seeing that the other party clearly had no intention of agreeing, Wei Yuze sighed and pleaded in an even more earnest tone:

“My health is also very bad, and I don’t know why. So I urgently need someone to take a look at me. Don’t be fooled by my seemingly energetic appearance now; I’m actually only keeping myself going with coffee. If no one gets me checked out and takes care of my health, I’m afraid I might suddenly die at any moment.”

The other party made it sound so serious that Jiang Chen found it hard to refuse. Besides, Mr. Zhang had previously suggested that she could actually introduce the person to him.

But Wei Yuze...

It is said that this person knows Mr. Zhang and the other two. If they meet, wouldn't the truth be exposed?

After thinking for a moment, he could only bite the bullet and continue, "That person lives in the suburbs. He's an old man in his seventies or eighties with a full head of white hair. He's very conservative and an old-fashioned person. How about this, I'll talk to him first. Otherwise, I'm afraid he'll get angry if I suddenly bring you here."

"Okay, okay, go now! This is the most important thing. I'll take care of the work-related matters for you. The company will reimburse all your travel expenses this time!"

President Chen waved his hand generously, appearing very magnanimous.

Wei Yuze also said that he would receive a generous reward afterward.

After leaving the office, Jiang Chen had no choice but to bite the bullet and drive directly to the suburbs.

He had a premonition that he was being watched. If he dared to deliberately delay or disobey their orders, his life would be in grave danger.

Much later, Jiang Chen learned that he had been secretly monitored by Wei Yuze, who wanted to see if what he said was true. If it was false, Wei Yuze would kill him directly.

On the other side, Lao Zhang, who had also overheard the conversation, quickly became alert based on his years of professional experience.

"Mr. Zhang, the other side is pressing us so aggressively; they may have already started monitoring your informant. We must cooperate with them to avoid giving ourselves away," Old Zhang from the Major Crimes Unit urgently reminded Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao thought for a moment: "I can solve the appearance problem with magic, but I don't have a house in the suburbs, how can I just move in there..."

They were in the police station when a hunchbacked, gray-haired old man and an equally thin, trembling old woman floated in.

The two people, leaning on canes and supporting each other, walked in; they were two souls.

"Oh no! They can see us! Old man! Quickly, tell them to collect our bodies! Otherwise, in this sweltering heat, our corpses will rot and be infested with maggots, how unsightly!"

The old woman excitedly ran up to Zhang Hao, waving at him: "Young man, you can see me, right? That's great! We just died, and our bodies are in the house in the suburbs. We have no children, and no one will even claim our bodies after we've died. It's so tragic. Will you help us collect our bodies? We'll give you the house, okay?"

This is really like giving someone a pillow when they feel sleepy.

Zhang Hao's eyes darted around, and he nodded, simultaneously producing a talisman in his hand: "Grandma, helping you is no problem, of course. However, we're investigating a case and need your help. Grandma, could you cooperate with me and use a spirit communication spell?"

The old woman blinked, somewhat puzzled.

Zhang Hao explained the whole story to the couple.

"...That's roughly the gist of it. In short, we need to put on a show to fool them and prove our informant wasn't lying. Your appearance and the house perfectly match the clues in his hastily fabricated lie. So, we're counting on you this time!"

After some discussion and preparation, Han San and Zhang Hao transformed themselves into the elderly couple.

They rushed to the outskirts, while the real elderly couple was captured by Zhang Hao using a talisman. Once the matter was resolved satisfactorily, they would be sent to the underworld.

The house is old, with slightly mottled exterior walls, but the interior is quite clean. However, as soon as you step inside, an indescribable sense of gloom washes over you.

Perhaps because the homeowner had passed away, the house was filled with an atmosphere of deathly stillness, which, combined with the dim lighting, made it feel even more gloomy and oppressive.

Zhang Hao's first priority was to deal with the bodies. He used his corpse-driving technique to guide the elderly couple's remains to the backyard and hide them in an inconspicuous little house.

It was a storage room, rarely visited by anyone. They were allowed to stay there temporarily, and their remains would be laid to rest once the matter was settled.

To prevent his deception from being exposed, Zhang Hao began to perform a ritual, setting up a Feng Shui formation that brought the place to life.

At first glance, this place seems to be a place of great feng shui.

After all, this is the residence of a master, so it must have something special about it. Otherwise, if people come to visit and find this place to be ordinary, they would probably find it hard to believe the old man's identity.

Han San and his team worked quickly and efficiently, completing all the arrangements in less than half an hour.

After everything was arranged, they texted Jiang Chen to inform him that everything was ready and included the address. If he had no objections, they could bring their men over, ensuring that nothing would be amiss.

The elderly couple, hiding within the talisman, felt both curious and somewhat apprehensive as they watched them act this way.

The gray-haired old man couldn't help but float out of the talisman and ask Zhang Hao, "Is this really feasible? Our bodies will definitely stink if left in that storage room for too long..."

The thought of his body rotting and stinking was unbearable for the old man who had always been a clean person.

"Don't worry, sir. I'm nourishing your corpses with yin energy, so they will never rot or stink."

In the Xiangxi corpse-driving technique, there are secret methods for handling corpses, including sealing the seven orifices of the body and sealing a wisp of yin energy into the person's inner elixir. At the same time, yin energy is gathered on the surface of the corpse using a damp method, so that the corpse is nourished by yin energy.

To give an example, it's like frozen meat that can be preserved for a long time without spoiling.

After listening to Zhang Hao's detailed explanation, the old man finally felt relieved and floated back into the talisman: "Then I'll leave the rest to you, young man."

Zhang Hao generously stated, "Rest assured, everything is ready and there will be no problems."

Zhang Hao, transformed into an old man, appeared to be on his deathbed, yet his eyes were bright and piercing, as if he could see into people's hearts. Han San, after transforming into an old woman, always had a stern face.

While waiting for their visit, the two of them began practicing how to get into character.

"Look at you, this won't do. How can an old lady have such a stern face?"

Seeing his colleague dressed as an old lady, Zhang Hao chuckled to himself and couldn't help but tease him.

Han San remained expressionless, only glancing at Zhang Hao out of the corner of her eye: "How dare you say that to me? Why should I play an old lady? I think I'm more suited to playing an old man."

Zhang Hao coughed lightly, showing no remorse: "Well... of course it's because... I think I'm more suitable for this role."

The accusation in Han San's eyes was even stronger.

"You just don't want to dress up, do you?"

That's absolutely true. A grown man suddenly becoming an old woman would be quite unsettling. Therefore, he naturally stuck to his own opinion regarding gender selection.

There's nothing I can do but make do with the cold umbrella.

"It's all for work!" Zhang Hao replied earnestly under the other person's accusing gaze, "I will remember your efforts."

Upon hearing this, Han San got goosebumps all over his body.

How could he not know that this guy could be so disgusting when he got sentimental? He could have just said he didn't want to play a female character.

Time passed slowly. After receiving the message, Jiang Chen pretended to communicate with them. The next day at work, General Manager Chen came in person to inquire about the progress of the matter.

Inside the office, Jiang Chen frowned and said, "I've spoken to him, and the old man agreed, but his wife doesn't seem too willing. She thinks it's too much trouble to have guests at home and doesn't want to cook for them."

Jiang Chen deliberately created some difficulties in meeting, because that would make it seem more real.

If one were to agree to every question, it would make that expert seem too unapproachable.

Things that are too easily obtained are often not cherished.

"Oh, is that so? It's not a big problem. Besides, he's getting on in years, and we'd feel bad having him cook for us himself. You see, you can tell them that they don't need to host us, we can bring our own cook and ingredients, okay?"

"If you really find it that troublesome, you can even skip eating and just get down to business when you arrive."

Jiang Chen looked troubled: "Alright then, I'll talk to them and if they agree, I'll report to you, Mr. Chen, right away."

President Chen nodded repeatedly and patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder: "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news. It would be best if you could get this done today. If you can, your salary this month will double, consider it a bonus."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen immediately smiled, as if moved by the generous offer, and said confidently, "Don't worry, I will do my best."

General Manager Chen was very satisfied with Jiang Chen's positive attitude.

Sure enough, no one can resist the temptation of money.

After Mr. Chen left, Jiang Chen picked up the phone and pretended to communicate with the other party.

Actually, President Chen hadn't gone far; he happened to run into Wei Yuze, who was also looking for Jiang Chen.

The two stood outside the office, and through the door, they could vaguely hear Jiang Chen making a phone call.

"It's me, the old man you helped before. I have a business opportunity I'd like to introduce to you, the one I mentioned to you before. I know you... I know you're not short of money."

"Actually, this is quite simple for you, and they don't expect you to entertain them..."

"I know, but I can't help it. The situation there is quite serious, and one wrong move could cause problems."

"Grandpa, please don't say that. If everything's alright on your end, I'll take them over this afternoon?"

"Thank you so much. I really don't know what I would have done without you. If Grandma finds it troublesome, she can go out for a walk first. I think this matter should be resolved in less than half an hour."

"Okay, okay, I understand. It's settled then."

President Chen and Wei Yuze heard Jiang Chen's words clearly through the office door.

That guy didn't refuse yesterday, so it seems Jiang Chen really knows a capable old man.

What was thought to be a flawless plan could be ruined by the unexpected appearance of that person.

A cold glint flashed in Wei Yuze's eyes. No matter who it was, no one could ruin his plans or stop him from moving forward! Anyone who dared to obstruct him, whether young or old, would be sent to hell.

Wei Yuze felt a surge of murderous intent, while President Chen listened with great interest.

Before Jiang Chen could come and tell him the good news, President Chen pushed open the office door.

"You're a really reliable guy! You're a true young man!"

Jiang Chen was startled to see President Chen, who had just left, push the door open and come back in. "President Chen, didn't you just leave? Why are you back? I was just about to come and report the good news to you."

Mr. Chen smiled broadly, waved his hand, and said cheerfully, "I ran into Mr. Wei outside the door just now, and we chatted for a bit. We overheard you talking to that expert here through the door. Since you've finished your conversation, we came right in."

"Oh, I see," Jiang Chen said with a look of sudden realization, smiling as he said to them, "That old man has agreed to see you. I'll take you there at noon. It's about time now, Mr. Chen, shall we set off now?"

When it comes to matters of life and death, there is no time to lose; the sooner the better.

Mr. Chen immediately said no problem: "Okay, let's go now."

After saying that, President Chen turned to Wei Yuze and asked, "I almost forgot to ask, President Wei, are you free right now?"

Wei Yuze smiled modestly, his slightly furrowed brows suggesting concern for his health: "Of course I have time; after all, health is the most important thing."

All three were satisfied, so they went downstairs together to get a car, intending to go to the outskirts to meet the reclusive master. (End of Chapter)
