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

Chapter 98 Another Problem

What else did Xia Zelin not understand? This was bullying of someone's child, and the parents came to ask for an explanation!
He has experienced too many things like this since he was a child. No matter whether it was his fault or not, he was always the one who was blamed because he had no parents to help him.

Although the orphanage has a director and teachers, they only care about your survival and don’t care about anything else. Whether it is the director or the teachers, they all have their own families and their own children to take care of.

The biggest secret had been exposed, and Xia Zelin was too lazy to pretend. He sat on the sofa and looked at Gu Qingyin with a half-smile, "What's wrong? The cursed doll doesn't work anymore? Want to get a new one?"

Gu Qingyin narrowed her eyes, "How do you talk to your elders?"

Xia Zelin sneered and was about to ask, "What kind of elder are you?" when he felt a chill running up the back of his neck, which made him shiver.

He was a little master at least, so he wouldn't be able to differentiate between normal cooling and ghosts. In this case, it was obvious that a fierce ghost had suddenly appeared behind him, and this fierce ghost was most likely brought by Gu Qingyin.

Xia Zelin sat up straight unconsciously, but he didn't dare to move too much. He coughed lightly and asked calmly, "If you're not here to exchange dolls, then why did you come here?"

Gu Qingyin walked to the sofa next to her and sat down, then took out the cursed doll from her backpack, "Did you get this from Lin Wu?"

"...Yeah." Xia Zelin responded sullenly. It was useless to deny it now. It was obvious that the other party came to him after investigation.

"What is your relationship with him? Spokesperson?" Gu Qingyin asked curiously, "Or are you just a middleman, simply making a profit from the price difference?"

Xia Zelin's mouth twitched, "If only you were a little more tactful."

Gu Qingyin raised an eyebrow, "The result is the same, why bother about the process."

Xia Zelin was speechless.

To put it bluntly, he is just a dabbler who knows some mysterious arts and can fool ordinary people, but he is not even capable of making a fool of himself in front of experts, not to mention that there is an evil ghost watching him from behind.

Xia Zelin could not find any other way out except to cooperate.

"I... can be considered as Lin Wu's half-disciple." Xia Zelin scratched his hair irritably, "I have known him since I was very young. He often went to the orphanage to deliver things, and we became familiar with each other after a while."

"At first I didn't know he was a celestial master until I was in middle school. I went to explore an abandoned haunted house with my classmates. I got dirty and fell ill when I got back. It wasn't until Lin Wu came to deliver something that he helped me exorcise the evil spirits and I got better immediately."

"I thought it was magical and I longed for it, so I started pestering him to teach me the mystical arts. He was reluctant at first, but later, probably because I pestered him so much, he reluctantly agreed, but he never really taught me anything."

Xia Zelin gritted his teeth unwillingly, "I entered the entertainment industry at Lin Wu's suggestion. Although what I did was not very good, it was also consensual. We never forced anyone."

Gu Qingyin nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, you never use coercion, you only use inducements."

Xia Zelin: ...

He shrugged, "There is no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to get something, you have to pay first. It's fair."

Gu Qingyin asked back without comment, "Then what did it take for you to get to where you are today?"

What did he pay for? Xia Zelin couldn't answer. Looking back, it seemed that there was nothing special.

"Can't remember? Then let me tell you." Gu Qingyin had a blank expression on her face. "After you die, you will go to hell, where you will experience torture worse than death every minute of every second. If you are lucky enough to come out of hell alive, you will also have to go through the six realms of reincarnation. You will not be eligible to be reborn as a human being until you have redeemed your sins."

"Do you think it's fair to exchange your future lives for your current wealth and glory?" Xia Zelin was obviously a little defensive. "Don't scare me! Brother Lin Wu said that I'm just the middleman. Even if there will be a penalty after death, it won't be as serious as you say."

Gu Qingyin snorted, "Of course he won't tell you. If he scares you, where can he find a tool who trusts him as much as you do? If I'm not mistaken, the bulk of the profits have been taken by him, right? You can only get a small portion."

"What did he tell you? Did he generously say that he would provide all the technical support and that you should read more and learn more, and then he would give you a share of the money if you found a suitable buyer? Thirty percent or forty percent?"

Gu Qingyin shook her head and said with a click of the tongue, "Lin Wu is really good at scheming. He hides behind the scenes and makes a lot of money, but you have to bear the consequences."

Xia Zelin remained silent, his expression becoming increasingly ugly.

He didn't want to either, but Gu Qingyin's guess was too accurate. Even the share he got was only 2%.

Lin Wu wanted to give him 40% at first, but he felt that his work was too simple, and he felt guilty for taking so much. Unexpectedly...

No, no, no, no, he couldn't just believe Gu Qingyin's words so easily! What if she just wanted to sow discord? He couldn't be fooled so easily!

At this time, Maomao came out of the bedroom dragging a bag. Compared with Maomao's body size, the bag was indeed too big.

So much so that at first glance, I thought the cloth bag had turned into a spirit and escaped by itself.

Xia Zelin was feeling uneasy, and when he suddenly saw this scene, he was so scared that he jumped up from the sofa, and then was slapped down by Huo Yunjing.

A cold breath pressed against his shoulder, and Xia Zelin froze completely.

Maomao dragged the bag to Gu Qingyin's feet, crawled out from under the bag, climbed up her trouser legs to her knees, and tilted her head back to ask for a touch.

Gu Qingyin smiled and stretched out her hand, running it from its head to its tail, which was very smooth. She thought to herself, Maomao was becoming more and more like a pet.

Xia Zelin looked at Maomao in doubt. What on earth was this? He didn't believe it was just an ordinary monkey!

Gu Qingyin greeted him in a fake manner, "Excuse me, let me take a look at the things in your bag, they are all Tianshi, I want to learn from them."

The things in the bag are all related to the Heavenly Master. There is no need to mention the basic things. In addition, there are semi-finished cursed dolls, wooden carved ghost dolls, and a notebook with a code.

Gu Qingyin took out the wooden doll and looked at it, frowning, "Is it used to summon a ghost?" She was moved, "Huo Xinghai is raising a ghost?"

Xia Zelin sat dejectedly on the sofa without saying a word.

Gu Qingyin didn't ask any more questions. She threw the wooden doll away and started studying the notebook. It was a very common combination lock. She didn't bother asking for the password. She just squeezed the lock hard and broke it into pieces.

Xia Zelin looked up, his eyes twitched involuntarily, but he still said nothing.

Gu Qingyin opened the notebook and took a look. It recorded the clients that Xia Zelin had developed in the entertainment industry in the past two years. There were not only celebrities, but also many CEOs of entertainment companies.

Turning to the third page, Gu Qingyin saw Huo Xinghai's name.
