The metaphysical mother returns, and the villain son stands at attention

Chapter 4 Price Inflation
Early in the morning, Gu Qingyin packed up and prepared to go find Huo Xingye.

Just before she got on the bus, her cell phone, which had been silent for several days, suddenly rang.

Gu Qingyin thought that Huo Xingye finally had a change of heart and remembered his lonely old mother, so she took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

She raised an eyebrow suspiciously and pressed the answer button.

"Which one?"

There was silence for a second, and the man with a deep voice asked cautiously, "Is it Gu Qingyin... Master Gu?"

"Is it me, exorcising ghosts or consulting Feng Shui?" Gu Qingyin asked as usual after getting in the car.

"It's really you!" The man opposite was ecstatic. "Master Gu, are you free to come over now? A child in my friend's family is possessed by a ghost. Today is the fifth day. Please save her!"

Gu Qingyin was surprised, "So long."

Usually, the ghost possesses people to manipulate them into committing suicide, and then leaves after achieving its goal. If the child hasn't died in five days, either the ghost has other intentions, or the child has some extraordinary qualities.

"Yes." The man was very worried. "The few Taoist priests we found before were either liars or not skilled enough. It was useless to toss them back and forth. The child now looks like a dead person, breathing out more than breathing in. We can't delay any longer!"

Gu Qingyin hesitated for two seconds and asked, "Address."

The man's voice was so surprised that it became higher. "I'll send it to you right now!"

After hanging up the phone, Gu Qingyin asked the driver to change the route temporarily and go to Lujiang Villa District.

Lujiang Villa District is a famous gathering place for wealthy people in Hai City.

Gu Qingyin thought that she should be able to make a lot of money from this order, enough to fill up her small treasury that had just been emptied.

When we arrived at the place, as soon as the car stopped, a middle-aged man walked quickly to the side of the car and waited.

Gu Qingyin got out of the car and looked at the person carefully. After a few seconds, he asked with some surprise, "Boss Qin?"

No wonder the voice on the phone sounded familiar, it turned out to be Qin Zhen, the owner of the genuine shop. Twenty years have passed, Qin Zhen has aged a lot, and I almost didn't recognize him.

Qin Zhen was a little dazed when he saw her. He felt that she was exactly the same as she was 20 years ago. Could a true Taoist priest have such an ability to maintain his youth?
The doubt in his heart flashed away, and he hurried to greet him, "Master Gu, you actually still remember me. My son called me a few days ago and said he saw you. I was skeptical, but I had no choice but to call him to try." He felt relieved and said confidently, "With you here, Juanjuan will definitely get better."

Gu Qingyin shook her head, "It's been too long. It's impossible to recover to the original health. It will also affect your lifespan."

"As long as I can save my life!"

Qin Zhen didn't dare to ask for too much. His business was somewhat related to the world of metaphysics. Those truly capable celestial masters were very mysterious. They came and went without a trace, and meeting them depended entirely on fate.

It was a complete surprise to be able to invite Gu Qingyin.

Qin Zhen suppressed his thoughts, slightly turned sideways and said, "Let's go in first."

Gu Qingyin followed him into the villa. The curtains in the villa were drawn tightly, not letting in any sunlight. With the door closed, the villa seemed even colder and more depressing.

This place is more like a tomb than a home.

"Such a strong ghost aura." Gu Qingyin looked around and ordered in a low voice, "Open all the curtains."

Qin Zhen didn't hesitate at all, he strode to the window and was about to open the curtains.

Because Xu Juanjuan was possessed by a ghost, all the servants in the Xu family were given holidays, otherwise he wouldn't have to do it himself.

"Stop!" A hurried voice came from upstairs, "Juanjuan can't stand the sunlight, the curtains can't be opened."

Gu Qingyin looked back and saw a haggard middle-aged man in a suit striding down the stairs. She thought that this must be Qin Zhen's friend.

"Old Xu!" Qin Zhen said earnestly, "Master Gu said to open it, there must be a reason for her. Besides, your room is gloomy, you'd better let some sunlight in, it can at least remove some of the gloom."

Old Xu looked Gu Qingyin up and down with his bloodshot eyes, and the more he looked, the tighter his brows frowned. He thought to himself, how can she be a Taoist priest when she is so young? Qin Zhen must have been deceived. Old Xu waved his hand, "Xu Chaojue is going to the airport to pick up Taoist Liu. He will be home in more than an hour."

Qin Zhen was very surprised. "Is it Taoist Priest Liu from Mount Longhu?"

Old Xu nodded and looked at Gu Qingyin, "Thank you for your trip." He took out a checkbook from his pocket and wrote down a string of numbers skillfully, "This money is compensation for your wasted trip."

Gu Qingyin looked down at the check and was startled by the string of zeros on it. He could get paid without doing any work? That was not appropriate.

Qin Zhen glanced at Gu Qingyin awkwardly, and complained to Old Xu, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had invited Taoist Liu?"

If he had told him earlier, he wouldn't have called Gu Qingyin. It would be so awkward if they bumped into each other.

Old Xu smiled bitterly, "I wasn't sure if I could invite him before." Seeing that Gu Qingyin was reluctant to take the check, he frowned and asked, "You think it's too little?"

Gu Qingyin shook her head and turned to look upstairs, "It's too late."

"what?"

"That ghost lost his patience and was about to attack." Gu Qingyin looked at Old Xu and asked very bluntly, "You don't trust me?"

Old Xu wasn't sure whether what she said was true or not. He stared at her with heavy eyes without saying anything.

Qin Zhen was anxious, "I can trust her, I can trust her. How can I not trust her? Master Gu, you must save Juanjuan."

Gu Qingyin looked at him strangely. Why did Qin Zhen look more anxious than the child’s father?

She didn't think too much about it. She calmly stretched out a finger and was about to make an offer when Qin Zhen anxiously interrupted her, "Ten million? No problem!" He looked at Old Xu, "No problem?"

Old Xu still didn't trust Gu Qingyin, but he was afraid that Juanjuan would not be able to wait for Taoist Liu to come, so he nodded and said, "As long as you can save my daughter, I will pay any amount of money."

Gu Qingyin pursed her lips and silently withdrew her fingers. As she walked upstairs, she was still in shock.

She still underestimated the extent of price inflation in the past twenty years. She just wanted one million, but it suddenly increased tenfold! This trip was really the right one!
She decided! She will follow this standard when accepting orders from now on!
Thinking of this, Gu Qingyin turned her head and cast a grateful glance at Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen was confused, but now was not the time to ask questions.

As soon as he stepped onto the second floor, Qin Zhen felt a stream of cool air penetrating into his body through his skin. He couldn't help but shiver and got goose bumps all over his body.

Old Xu felt it even more strongly. A few minutes ago, the second floor was not so cold. Therefore, his worries in his heart became even worse. He had to admit that Gu Qingyin was right. The ghost was going to take action.

Gu Qingyin glanced at the two of them and saw that their faces were pale and white air was coming out of their mouths. She added 10 million as a reward and generously took out two amulets from her bag and gave one to each of them.

Gu Qingyin was very kind to her customers, especially the wealthy ones. She smiled and told them, "Take it. It's free. It'll keep you safe."

When they heard it was free, they took it without caring whether it was useful or not. As soon as they got the talisman, the coldness around them dissipated, and their faces became a little rosy.

Old Xu's heart moved and he began to believe in Gu Qingyin's abilities a little more.

"Is there anyone else upstairs?"

"Yes, her mother is always with her."

Gu Qingyin sighed, this is trouble, no matter what that ghost wants to do, he will definitely not let go of this ready-made hostage.

"Does your ladyship wear anything to protect herself?"

Old Xu shook his head and sighed, "There was one originally, but Juanjuan would feel uncomfortable if she was close to it, so my wife took it off."

Gu Qingyin was speechless for a moment. Madam Xu loved her daughter so much that she lost her mind.
