What do you mean by saying that the corpses I sew are all ominous creatures?

Upon hearing this, Jin Wanliang cleared his throat, leaned forward slightly, and adopted the posture of a storyteller, beginning to recount the whole story.

"That's how it is."

Jin Wanliang lowered his voice, sounding somewhat mysterious.

"In our Jiangcheng, there's a boss surnamed Wang who's become a nouveau riche in the last few years."

This Mr. Wang has recently gone completely mad, insisting on venturing into the real estate industry.

Not long ago, he spent a lot of money to buy a large plot of land in the suburbs, intending to build a high-end villa area.

"Let them build the villa area. There are plenty of real estate developers these days."

Li Qing stared at his phone screen without looking up and casually interjected.

"What do you know? Let me finish what I have to say."

Jin Wanliang glared at Li Qing and continued speaking to me.

"The location of this piece of land is actually quite good, nestled against the mountains and beside the water."

However, since the construction team started work two weeks ago, strange things have been happening frequently on the construction site.

At this point, Jin Wanliang paused deliberately, as if to see my reaction.

But I simply held my teacup quietly, my expression unchanged.

Seeing that I didn't respond, he had no choice but to continue on his own:

"At first, when we were laying the foundation, we couldn't drive those tens of meters long reinforced concrete piles down, as if there was something hard blocking them from the ground."

They forced the pile driver to keep going, and several of the drill bits broke off.

Later, around midnight, a sound similar to a woman crying could be heard at the construction site.

That guy was so creepy that several security guards on night duty ran away without even collecting their wages!

Later, workers on the construction site began to fall ill for no apparent reason, suffering from vomiting and diarrhea, and hospital visits couldn't find anything wrong.

Hearing these descriptions, I frowned slightly.

Piling cannot be driven, strange noises occur in the middle of the night, and workers fall ill for no apparent reason.

These situations do indeed sound like they've violated some kind of feng shui taboo, or dug up something unclean.

"As a result, the construction progress has been severely delayed, and the workers are in a state of panic, with some even threatening to strike."

Jin Wanliang shrugged and sighed.

"This Mr. Wang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan."

To appease the public and ensure the project proceeds smoothly, they've spent a fortune hiring a so-called master.

They're preparing to perform a ritual at the construction site tonight, supposedly to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune.

Hearing this, I felt a little doubtful.

Since they've already hired a master to settle things, why are they coming to me for help?

But I did not interrupt Jin Wanliang.

Because I knew that, given this guy's personality, there would definitely be a twist to his words.

Sure enough, Jin Wan picked up the purple clay teapot, took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then said:

"However, this Mr. Wang and I have cooperated several times before, so he is a fairly familiar customer."

Although he is not highly educated, he has been working in society for many years and has learned a lot about things in our circle.

I know there are many charlatans in this world who deceive and steal fame.

"So, even after hiring that master, he still felt uneasy, so he secretly asked someone to find out more about the master's background."

Jin Wanliang sneered as he finished speaking.

"And guess what happened?"

He found out that the so-called master he had invited was very likely a fraud.

The possibility of someone possessing genuine skill is extremely slim.

"This time, Mr. Wang contracted this land to develop real estate, and he almost staked all his wealth on it, and also took out a large loan from the bank."

Jin Wanliang's expression turned somewhat serious.

"So many things happened at this construction site before, the news has gradually become impossible to suppress, and relevant departments have begun to inquire about it."

If something goes wrong during the ritual tonight, and we can't handle those strange things, or even make things worse, then this project will definitely be forcibly stopped.

At that point, the only options for this Mr. Wang will be bankruptcy and suicide.

"So, just to be on the safe side and to leave himself a way out, he secretly entrusted me with this task."

Jin Wanliang patted his chest, a smug look on his face.

"He hopes I can find him a truly reliable and capable master, and he'll go to the construction site with me tonight."

Ostensibly, he was there to bring a bodyguard, but in reality, he was there to cover for them secretly.

If that con artist can't control the situation, then we'll have to rely on our people to step in and save the day.

Hearing this, Li Qing, who had been looking at her phone, finally couldn't hold back anymore.

He tossed his phone onto the table, glanced at Jin Wanliang sideways, and interrupted without any politeness.

"Hey Lao Jin, you wouldn't have deliberately badmouthed that master to Boss Wang just to get this job, would you?"

Li Qing pursed her lips, her face full of distrust.

"Competitors are enemies. You fatso, what kind of lies won't you make up to make money?"

"Get out of here! Stop spouting nonsense!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Wanliang became furious, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"How could that be! Do you think I, Jin Wanliang, am that kind of person?"

The master that Boss Wang hired, named Qingyunzi, I've never even heard of him before in Jiangcheng!

I don't know anything about their background, so how can I smear them? Boss Wang didn't even ask me for information!

Besides, although I, Jin Wanliang, love money, I also uphold the code of honor among江湖义气 (jianghu yiqi, a code of honor among江湖义气 ...), and I would never do business by such despicable means!

Seeing Jin Wanliang's flustered and pale face, I smiled and shook my head, signaling Li Qing to stop teasing him.

I put down my teacup, looked calmly at Jin Wanliang, and asked the most fundamental question in my mind.

"Old Jin, if even you, a local bigwig in Jiangcheng, don't know this man's background, then where did Boss Wang find out about this and insist on hiring him to perform the ritual?"

I explained in a calm and clear tone.

"Moreover, let's not even mention how Boss Wang found out that this master was a fraud."

The most crucial point is that since Boss Wang has already found out that this person is a fraud, why doesn't he just find some excuse to replace him?

Why go through all that trouble, spending double the money to hire another bodyguard to cover things up secretly?

Isn't this like taking off your pants to fart, going through an unnecessary extra step?

Upon hearing my series of direct and incisive questions, Jin Wanliang's smug expression immediately vanished.

He let out a long sigh, a hint of helplessness on his round, chubby face.

"Brother Chen, you've hit the nail on the head."

Jin Wanliang gave a wry smile and reached out to touch his smooth chin.

"To be honest, when I first heard about this, I had the exact same questions as you."

I just asked that Mr. Wang directly.

I said, since you know he's a fraud, why not just send him away? Why make it so complicated?
