Folk customs begin with the entire funeral procession

Chapter 130 Shannan City, a City That Can't Be Leaving
Xie Songde took the arrest warrant, looked at the photo of the Grand Master on it, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Is there a mistake?"

Qi Ning looked at Xie Songde and waved his hand behind him.

Do you know this person?

Looking at the man with his head down and his hands cuffed, Xie Songde nodded.

"Yes, I know him. He's the Grand Master's junior brother. He just delivered some goods to me."

"Okay, come on, ask him again how much your goods cost."

Xie Songde's face was expressionless; Qi Ning's attitude gave him a very bad feeling.

"how much is it?"

Xie Songde looked at the man and asked.

"Three thousand..."

Xie Songde felt a pang of pain in his heart.

Three thousand?

You sold it to me for 490,000?
What happened next was simple: Qi Ning led his men inside.

When the high priest saw his 'junior brother' put on the handcuffs, he didn't say a word and simply stretched out his hands.

Xie Songde later learned that the two had already used this trick to deceive several people.

After each crime, he would change his identity.

He is now a high-ranking monk; before that, he was a high-ranking monk, a wandering Taoist priest, and a feng shui master.

As for the person who introduced this high priest to Xie Songde's wife, he was simply doing a job for money.

The items used in the rituals were toys they bought from online shopping websites.

Although all the evidence was laid out before him, and the Grand Master had confessed, Xie Songde still didn't understand.

He walked up to Qi Ning and said, "Can I say another word to him? There's something I don't understand."

"Just ask."

Xie Songde walked up to the high priest who was squatting on the ground with his head in his hands.

Looking at the Grand Mage who had completely lost his previous composure, Xie Songde asked, "Why do you act like this when you clearly have real skills?"

The Grand Master held his head, looking at Xie Songde with a completely bewildered expression.

"Are you stupid?"

"you……"

Xie Songde was furious.

Qi Ning, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but say to Xie Songde, "He's not the one who solved the problem. Your room is fine now, you can continue to stay here."

After saying that, Qi Ning left with the Grand Mage.

Before leaving, Qi Ning took a necklace from Xie Songde's daughter's room. The necklace seemed to have been bought by the daughter at a second-hand market held at the school.

Xie Songde frowned, wanting to stop him, but one sentence from the other party silenced him.

"This thing is related to ghosts."

After Qi Ning left, Xie Songde sat on the sofa in the living room, his mind replaying the events of the past two days.

"If it's not the Grand Mage, then who could it be?"

"Also, what's the deal with those people from the Management Bureau? It seems like they know something's up?"

Xie Songde frowned, took out his phone, and called several friends one by one.

Finally, he heard some information about the Emergency Management Agency from a friend.

That friend only said one sentence.

"If it's haunted, contact them, and remember to get their business card!"

When Xie Songde wanted to ask for more details, his friend refused to say anything more.

Perhaps, they dared not say any more.

Given this situation, Xie Songde believed about 70-80% of what Qi Ning said.

"If that's the case, then who exactly solved my family's problems?"

"These past few days, apart from the Grand Master, we've been the only ones at home..."

Suddenly, Xie Songde paused for a moment, then abruptly stood up.

He forgot one person!

"Chen Miao!?"

"It's him?"

Xie Songde paced back and forth in the living room, recalling everything Chen Miao had done when he came that day.

He immediately looked at Xie Yun.

"Xiaoyun, did you see your Uncle Chen go into the bathroom that day?"

Xie Yun was still grieving over the fact that his 'master' was a fake when Xie Songde asked him this question. He lazily replied, "Which Uncle Chen?"

"It's the one I brought back yesterday! He's not very old!"

Xie Yun thought for a moment and nodded: "He went in. I saw him looking for something inside, so I asked him what he was doing out of curiosity."

Xie Songde hurriedly asked, "What did he say?"

"He said... let's see if there are any ghosts?"

Xie Yun spoke casually, but Xie Songde clapped his hands.

"It matches! It matches!"

"I was blind to the value of a gem, and instead of seeking out a truly talented person like Chen Miao, I chose to pursue this fake!"

Xie Songde's face was full of regret and lingering fear.

No wonder Chen Miao said he was really brave when he left this morning. Because Chen Miao knew that his house was truly haunted!

It's very likely that Chen Miao was protecting him in secret, without his knowledge!

Immediately, ignoring his wife's questions, Xie Songde took out his phone and headed towards the garage.

Once he got in the car, his phone went through.

"Mr. Chen, where are you?"

……

Chen Miao looked at his phone with a strange expression.

"We can't even leave Shannan City?"

Chen Miao had already met and talked with the job applicant.

It can only be said that the world is a vast and wondrous place.

Chen Miao didn't know where the other party got their confidence from. Not only did they say the salary would be twice as high as the job advertisement, but they also wanted him to rent a house for them in Tianmen County, and they wouldn't even live in the dormitory!

If he doesn't rent a place, he'll have to pay an extra 2,000 yuan for transportation every month because he said he'd drive back to Shannan City to sleep!
It's a three- or four-hour round trip; should I drive back to sleep?
If he really invites this great master back, his basic monthly salary will be more than double that of Tao Bo!
With that money, Chen Miao could just give it to Tao Bo, and Tao Bo wouldn't even leave, right?
The key point is that the other party did not show Chen Miao anything, only saying, "I work at the Shannan City Funeral Center."

He seemed to think that this one sentence carried enough weight.

Chen Miao was amused and left the man, saying "I'll go back and wait for your notification," before leaving the clueless man behind.

Once he left, he blocked that person on the recruitment platform.

Before he could even get to his car, Xie Songde called, insisting on knowing where he was.

Upon hearing this, Chen Miao immediately told him his location and then found a nearby coffee shop to wait.

Less than half an hour later, Xie Songde strode in.

Upon seeing Chen Miao, Xie Songde broke into a big smile.

"Mr. Chen, thank you so much this time. Commander Qi told me everything!"

Chen Miao was taken aback, surprised that Qi Ning had told Xie Songde about this.

"Without Mr. Chen, we would probably still be harassed by that thing."

Chen Miao waved his hand.

"It's just a little effort."

When Xie Songde saw that Chen Miao had admitted it, his eyes lit up and his tone became even more respectful.

Immediately, he took out a black card from his pocket and placed it in front of Chen Miao with both hands.

"Mr. Chen did not make any requests when he did these things, so I guessed that Mr. Chen is not the kind of person who does things for the sake of reward."

"But please accept this card. You can use it to make purchases at the shop that my brother-in-law and I own."

"I really don't know how to repay you, Mr. Chen. If you ever need my help in Shannan City, I, Xie Songde, will do my best!"

Seeing the other person's serious attitude, Chen Miao reached out and picked up the card.

Thank God Black Gold Card

Chen Miao was taken aback. Although he was not in Shannan City, he still knew about Shannan City, which was a rather interesting name.

"Thank God" is not the name of a single store, but rather the name of a chain of entertainment venues including bathhouses, bars, and KTVs.

As far as Chen Miao knew, there were two "Thank God Bath Centers", three "Thank God Bars", and more than ten "Thank God KTVs" in Shannan City.

Although they all seem to be in the entertainment industry and both have a certain degree of sexual content.

But in reality, whether it's a bathhouse, a bar, or a KTV, they are all very legitimate places, because Chen Miao had heard about them from a classmate from Shannan City when he was studying in another city.

Many people go to that bathhouse with their whole family.

If it were an unofficial event, I doubt any man would bring his wife and children along.

With that in mind, Chen Miao didn't refuse.

"Then I'll accept it. Can someone else use it?"

Chen Miao doesn't come to Shannan City often, so it's impossible for him to drive two hours just to take a shower.

My cousin from my uncle's family lives in Shannan City, so she should be able to use it.

"If Mr. Chen wants to give the card to someone else, he can take it to any store and apply for a supplementary card."

"Okay, thank you, boss."

"Not at all, it is I who should thank Mr. Chen."

Xie Songde said with a smile.

He saw Chen Miao's luggage and immediately stood up.

"Then I won't bother Mr. Chen any longer... Please don't bother me, no need to see me off."

With that, Xie Songde left the coffee shop.

He came in a hurry and left in a hurry; that perfectly describes him.

It seems he came all this way just to deliver this card.

"Sure enough, those who can build a big business are not ordinary people. I need to learn from them."

Chen Miao put away the black gold card and was about to leave when his phone rang again.

It was Zhong Cai calling.

"Brother Chen Miao, I've run into a bit of trouble and would like to ask you for a favor."

Hearing Zhong Cai's voice, Chen Miao suddenly remembered what he had said to Xie Songde before.

"If you need my help, just let me know."

"Is it really impossible to leave Shannan City?"
