Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 277 Whose face hurts so much?

Unfortunately, Mr. Liu was so engrossed in the illusion of brotherly love and respect that he didn't think about it at all. He just assumed that Mr. Liu had watched some realistic family drama and was applying it to him.

What did I say to him back then?

"Fortunately, our two families don't have as many problems as other families. My younger brother may not be very capable, but at least he is obedient, sensible, and knows his limits. As his older brother, I don't expect him to be very successful. I just hope that our family can continue to live peacefully, smoothly, and harmoniously as it is now."

Mr. Liu: "..." Whose face hurts so much? Ouch... It's mine!
Ms. Qi was so angry she laughed again. What was this? Good advice is useless against a damned ghost? Even an outsider could see it, but the two people involved were kept in the dark like they were blind.

That's bad enough, but now they've even dragged other people into this mess. It's truly their fault!
"That's roughly the situation. Mr. Yan tried to remind Uncle Liu a few times, but Uncle Liu didn't take it to heart, so he didn't want to say anything more. After all, he's an outsider, and saying too much would be suspected of deliberately trying to sow discord in other people's family relationships."

"Uncle Liu's brother already felt that Mr. Yan was deliberately targeting him and looking down on him. He also learned from Uncle Liu's secretariat that Mr. Yan had said those things to Uncle Liu, which made him hate Mr. Yan even more. However, their determination to kill Mr. Yan was not entirely because of this."

"That is……"

"They're about to close the net. Besides Uncle Liu, Mr. Yan is the most influential person in Uncle Liu's company. But this man is 'biased' against them and hard to win over. Once Uncle Liu dies from the backlash of the evil spirit, the company will be inherited by their son, and Mr. Yan will become their biggest obstacle."

"Instead of arguing with them about these trivial matters later, it's better to strike now and let the kid kill Mr. Yan, and then let it backfire on Uncle Liu. That would kill two birds with one stone."

"Good, good, that's quite a clever plan." Ms. Qi said, then couldn't help but glare at her husband again.

Mr. Liu touched his nose guiltily, not daring to say another word.

"Besides this, Mr. Yan's son was also part of their scheme."

"Old Yan's son?" Mr. Liu was taken aback. "What does this have to do with Old Yan's son?"

“Mr. Yan’s son and his youngest daughter are currently attending the same school. They plan to have their youngest daughter seduce Mr. Yan’s son and use this as a means to seize Mr. Yan’s family’s assets.”

"Hiss—" As soon as Du Anrao said this, everyone couldn't help but gasp again.

"They have quite the idea," Ms. Qi said, her anger turning into a mocking laugh. "I've watched that girl of theirs grow up since she was a child. She's spoiled, willful, and has a terrible temper. How can they be so confident that Old Yan's son will definitely fall for her?"

"Because they used a curse on the young man."

"insanity?"

"Yes." Du Anrao was also quite surprised to hear about this. Mr. Liu's father was quite well-equipped, changing his son's fate, raising a ghost child, and even using witchcraft on his granddaughter. He had a strong learning ability, but unfortunately he didn't use it for good and instead used it for evil deeds.

"They used a love curse on Mr. Yan's son. Once this curse is applied to someone, it automatically modifies the image of their partner in that person's eyes. In other words, it filters out their girlfriend, making her image infinitely closer to their ideal type, thus making the owner of the offspring curse fall for the owner of the mother curse." "It can be like that?!"

The crowd gasped in surprise, exchanging astonished glances. The effects of this curse were truly terrifying. Just thinking about how they would be subjected to it, their idealized images would be completely clouded, potentially causing them to mistake a pig or a cow for a fairy or a handsome man. A chill ran down their spines.

"Judging from the timeline, Mr. Yan's son is most likely under the spell and is currently in the honeymoon phase of his relationship with Uncle Liu's brother's daughter, completely infatuated with her. However, Mr. Yan's existence is also a major obstacle to their plan. In order to carry out their plan smoothly, they decided to get rid of Mr. Yan first, then have Mr. Yan's son marry their daughter, coax him into signing the agreement to transfer the hospital's inheritance, and then create the illusion of an accident to send him to see his father."

"...This is too vicious!" Qiu Jichen had almost been cheated out of money and sexually assaulted not long ago, so he had a deep understanding of the situation. His comments on this matter were filled with the gritted teeth of personal grudges.

"The second person they wanted to kill was an elder of your clan, an old man named Liu Li."

"It was our uncle! Why did they kill him? He was arguably the kindest person among their relatives!"

"Because he was the only person besides you who knew that you two were half-brothers and that your brother was not born out of wedlock. In order to prevent someone from using this as an excuse to attack them and fight them for the property after you two died suddenly, we decided to go all the way and silence him."

“…These beasts.” Mr. Liu was so angry that his face turned pale.

With the grudges of the previous generation, it was still possible for Liu Tianyuan's family to take action against their family, but this uncle really had no grudges against their family at all, and had genuinely taken good care of both families before this.

Even so, his brother was still able to attack him without any scruples and take his life for his own benefit. How utterly depraved is that?
Compared to Mr. Liu, whose grief and shock were still mixed with the pain of being betrayed by his closest relatives, Ms. Qi had long regarded this family as real enemies and was not surprised at all the heinous things they did for money and profit.

"This family will stop at nothing for money. Master Du, do you know if there's a way to cure the curse on Brother Yan's son?"

"Yes, there is. Here's what we'll do: bring him to me later, and I'll see if I can help him remove the curse. The important thing now is to resolve this matter first."

Du Anrao glanced meaningfully at the box in front of him: "This box is filled with extremely heavy yin energy. It seems that Mr. Yan has been in contact with this little ghost these past two days and has been tainted by its yin energy, which is why he is bedridden."

Ms. Qi and her colleague exchanged surprised glances. Mr. Liu quickly realized what was happening, took out his phone, and called his secretary: "Xiao Wang, has Lao Yan been to the company these past few days?"

The secretary on the other end of the phone quickly gave the answer: "President Yan hasn't been to the company for three days."

Mr. Liu's expression darkened slightly, and he then made a phone call to his good friend.

The person who answered the phone was not Mr. Yan, but his wife.

"Old Yan came back a few days ago complaining of a sore neck and a cold back. The day before yesterday morning, he was dizzy and couldn't get out of bed. He was taken to the hospital for a checkup, but they couldn't find anything wrong."
