Chapter 184 Soul Summoning
After thinking for a moment, Chen Miao said, "I can help call the old man's soul out, but there's a problem."

When Shi Manman heard that Chen Miao really had this ability, his tone became much more excited!
"what is the problem?"

"The old man we summoned only has some of his most vivid memories. What if those memories aren't from that jar of gold bars?"

Five hundred thousand is not a small amount for Chen Miao.

Moreover, Chen Miao was very interested in being able to openly try out a spell.

"I understand, curator. I'll go tell them about this and see what they think."

Chen Miao nodded.

"Okay, that's settled then."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Miao shook his head with a wry smile.

He had previously given Xie Songde and Huang Jinjin peach charms, intending for them to help expand their business. However, no business came from there. Instead, Shi Manman, whom Chen Miao hadn't initially considered, landed him a sizable job.

It was truly an unexpected outcome.

……

the other side.

Shi slowly walked out of the room and into her uncle's living room.

At this moment, Shi Manman's parents, uncle and aunt were talking in the living room, while her younger cousins ​​were playing nearby.

When Shi slowly came out, her younger cousins ​​just looked at their very impressive older cousin with curiosity, but they didn't come closer.

As they got closer, Shi gradually overheard their conversation.

"It seems the gold issue is off, but why should your two sisters get a share of the old man's inheritance?"

My aunt looked very unhappy.

My uncle was also a little annoyed.

"That's what Dad said before he died, what can I do?"

Shi Manman's mother, standing nearby, tried to persuade her, saying, "You two won't be poor if you lose a little, nor will you be rich if you gain a little. Why are you arguing over such a small thing?"

"Sister-in-law, you don't know, their two younger sisters rarely come over, because they know they won't get a share of the inheritance!"

"The old man's health has been poor these past two years, and the three brothers, Lao Li and his brother, have been taking turns caring for him. It's great that they've just gotten the job done!"

"You didn't see their expressions after hearing the old man's last words! It was infuriating! How could something like this happen so easily?"

Standing to the side, Shi Manman's father frowned and scolded, "Alright, look at yourself! I think it's all because Li Qun spoils you! You want to meddle in everything. You should listen to Li Qun in this matter. Do whatever he says!"

After being scolded by her own brother, Shi Yue, Shi Manman's aunt, mumbled a few words and then snorted.

Turning her head, Shi Yue saw Shi Manman.

"Slow down, come on, sit here with your aunt!"

Shi slowly walked over and sat down, then said directly to her uncle, "Uncle, I just contacted a master who said he can summon Grandpa's soul."

Everyone was taken aback by these words.

Then Shi Manman's father, Shi Cheng, angrily rebuked, "What nonsense are you talking about? What kind of master do you know!"

Shi Cheng never expected that his rebellious and usually quiet daughter would suddenly say something so surprising!
Shi Manman's mother, Cheng Yarong, also pulled Shi Manman back: "Manman, your uncle and the others have their own arrangements for this matter, don't talk nonsense."

Like Shi Cheng, Cheng Yarong didn't want Shi Manman to get involved in this matter.

This is something we shouldn't get involved in.

But who is Ke Shi Manman?

She's their rebellious daughter!

Naturally, they won't stop just because of what they say.

"Uncle, you know what I do, so the people I come into contact with are all in this field."

"I can guarantee that the master I'm introducing is truly skilled."

Hearing this, Shi Cheng slowly started to make promises, which infuriated Shi Cheng.

"Manman, you didn't lie to your aunt?"

Shi Yue exclaimed in surprise.

"No, he is indeed a master. I saw that my aunt and uncle have been struggling with this matter for so long, so I contacted that master just now to ask about the specific situation. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to speak carelessly."

Shi Manman said very confidently. Shi Cheng wanted to say something, but Li Qun spoke up at this moment.

"Slowly, your uncle will believe in you."

"Here's the plan: you'll call that master over, and the money will remain the same: a deposit of 300,000, with an additional 200,000 if the deal is done!"

As Li Qun was speaking, he was about to go find his other brothers and sisters, but Shi Manman called him back.

"Uncle, I haven't finished speaking yet."

"That master said he could summon my grandfather's soul, but my grandfather's memories were incomplete; he could only retain the most profound parts. If those memories were unrelated to the gold, he couldn't do anything about it."

Shi Manman looked at Li Qun and said, "So, you and your uncles will have to consider this matter yourselves."

Li Qun thought for a moment and said, "I'll go and discuss it."

With that, Li Qun hurriedly left.

Shi Yue followed her out, leaving only Shi Manman in the living room, being watched by her parents.

"Shi Manman, what are you trying to do! How dare you interrupt me like this?"

Shi Cheng stared at Shi Manman.

Cheng Yarong, standing to the side, also looked worried.

"If this isn't handled properly, your aunt might face a lot of disapproval here!"

Shi Manman looked at his parents and said, "I have already explained the details of the matter. If my uncle and aunt agree, then it is their decision and they cannot blame my aunt."

"Besides, that master's skills are indeed real."

"If they dare to give my aunt the cold shoulder, I'll have the master find some ghosts to haunt them."

Upon hearing this, not only were Shi Manman's parents stunned, but his younger cousins, who had been quietly approaching, also froze on the spot.

Shi slowly looked at his younger cousins, revealing a forced smile.

"Don't be afraid, I'm just kidding. You mustn't say anything."

"what!"

The two children ran away shouting.

After Shi Manman's commotion, Shi Cheng and Cheng Yarong were at a loss for words.

Ten minutes later, Li Qun and Shi Yue returned.

“We’ve discussed it. Based on what you said, we can only give you a deposit of 250,000. But if he really summons the old man, even if the old man doesn’t reveal the whereabouts of the gold, then the 250,000 will be considered as a reward for the master’s hard work.”

Li Qun looked at Shi Manman and said, "Manman, your uncle believes in you, but this is not just a matter for your uncle's family. If that master fails to summon the old man, the deposit will still have to be returned."

He nodded slowly.

"I'll contact that master right away and see if he's willing to take on this task."

Five minutes later, Shi slowly walked in from outside.

"That master said it's okay to take it."

Li Qun nodded.

"Do we need to pick him up tomorrow?"

He slowly shook his head.

"No need, he'll drive over tonight. The master said it's not good to do things during the day."

Li Qun was taken aback, then quickly nodded.

"Okay, I'll go and get ready."

Then he left again.

Three hours later, at 10 p.m., a car stopped in the yard in front of Li Qun's house.

Amid the curiosity of the crowd, a young man stepped out of the car.

"Master, you've arrived."

Shi said with a slow smile.
