"And then what happened?" I asked patiently.

"As it turns out, Boss Wang confided in me that he also had his own unavoidable difficulties."

Jin Wanliang shook his head, his tone tinged with emotion.

"This boss told me that with his own wealth and connections, he wouldn't have been able to take on such a large real estate project in the suburbs."

He was able to acquire that land because he had a powerful 'big brother' backing him.

"Even when this Boss Wang started his business, it was all thanks to the support of that older brother."

It can be said that the older brother had been incredibly kind to him.

Without that big brother, there would be no Boss Wang today.

Jin Wanliang lowered his voice, as if afraid of being overheard.

"This guy had heard about those weird things happening at the construction site a few days ago and was worried that the project would fall through."

Therefore, out of kindness, he introduced this master named Qingyunzi to Boss Wang, saying that he was there to help him settle the matter.

Moreover, and most importantly, this man had absolute faith in this master, practically worshipping him as a deity.

Jin Wanliang spread his hands, making an extremely helpless gesture.

"Brother Chen, think about it."

Your older brother kindly introduces you to a highly skilled person, and you immediately tell him that the person he introduced is a fraud and you're going to fire him.

If I say that, wouldn't I be publicly humiliating that guy?

Even if Boss Wang had the greatest courage, he wouldn't dare to offend his elder brother.

"But the situation on the construction site is what it is now."

If tonight's situation is simply unmanageable, it's not a big deal.

The worst thing is someone who only has a superficial understanding and tries to do things haphazardly. If that leads to someone's death, then it will be a huge mess.

If this project falls through, Boss Wang will have to jump off a building.

So, for Boss Wang, the current situation is a double whammy – he's been stuck on one thing but now he's facing a dead end.

Neither advancing nor retreating is an option.

Jin Wan picked up the teacup in both hands and drank the already somewhat cold tea in one gulp.

"There was no other way, so he had to bite the bullet and invite the master introduced by that guy to the construction site and treat him like a king."

At the same time, they spent a lot of money to commission me to find a truly capable expert to keep things under control.

If things go smoothly tonight, that would be great for everyone.

If that expert causes any trouble, then we'll have to clean up his mess and save the project.

After listening to Jin Wanliang's detailed explanation, my doubts were finally completely dispelled.

This is indeed a request fraught with social niceties and considerations.

And judging from the name alone, it seems like a low-paying, easy job, which sounds pretty good.

As long as that con artist doesn't cause any major chaos, I can simply stand by and watch for one night and pocket this hefty reward.

However, this matter just happened to come out of the mouth of that fatso Jin Wanliang.

This forces me to be extra vigilant.

I picked up the teacup in front of me and took a small sip.

"Old Jin, now that you've taken this job, have you thoroughly investigated the situation at the construction site beforehand?"

I asked in a calm and clear tone.

"For example, what was that piece of land used for before?"

Have you considered what might be causing those strange occurrences?

Is it simply a case of stagnant earth energy, or is some kind of tainted substance causing the problem?

When I bombarded him with a series of professional questions, Jin Wanliang, who had been talking non-stop, suddenly stopped talking.

He rubbed his hands together, his smile turning somewhat awkward.

"Well... Brother Chen, this is really putting me in a difficult position."

Jin Wanliang chuckled awkwardly, his eyes darting around as he spoke.

No, not at all.

Firstly, this happened rather suddenly, and Boss Wang was desperate and sought help from me.

Secondly, as you know, I'm just a middleman who deals with information and items.

I really know absolutely nothing about feng shui and metaphysics.

Upon hearing his reply, I put down my teacup and looked at him with a half-smile.

"You don't know anything, you haven't even figured out what kind of tactics they have, yet you dare to pat your chest and tell me this is a piece of cake?"

I shook my head and said in a slow, deliberate voice.

"Old Jin, you're getting bolder and bolder."

Seeing that I wasn't angry and was just teasing him, Jin Wanliang immediately seized the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

He moved closer, his round face plastered with a fawning smile.

"Oh, my dear Brother Chen, what are you saying?"

Even if I'm incredibly bold, it's based on absolute trust in your abilities!

Jin Wanliang slapped his thigh and began to praise him enthusiastically.

"Don't you even think about what level you're at right now?"

You're a ruthless character who fought your way out of the death zone of southern Xinjiang, where there was almost no chance of survival, even with a sick patient!

Even those old poisoners from Black Li suffered greatly at your hands.

"For you, this little weird thing happening at a run-down construction site on the outskirts of the city is nothing, a piece of cake that you can easily handle."

Upon hearing this, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This fat man's skill in putting on a tall hat is truly first-rate.

He clearly took on a mess he wasn't confident about, yet he insisted on dragging me into it, but he managed to say things in such a high-sounding way that you couldn't get angry at all.

Seeing that I did not refute, Jin Wanliang knew that he had flattered the right person.

His eyes darted around, and he immediately seized the opportunity to turn his gaze to Li Qing, who was eavesdropping nearby.

"Besides, Brother Chen, isn't there a genuine successor of a geomancer right here?"

Jin Wanliang pointed at Li Qing and analyzed the situation with great seriousness.

"We're going with double insurance this time!"

If it really is just a matter of feng shui on the construction site, even though Li Qing's meridians haven't fully healed and he can't easily fight someone, his eyes for feng shui are definitely not blind.

This doesn't affect his ability to help you find the right path at all.

At this point, Jin Wanliang paused deliberately and chuckled.

"If there really are some blind evil spirits causing trouble, hehe, isn't this just the time for you to step in, brother?"

You two brothers, one specializing in feng shui and the other exorcising evil spirits, your teamwork is simply flawless!

Even if there's a devil buried under that construction site, he'll still have to behave himself tonight!

Upon hearing Jin Wanliang's tactical arrangement, which was full of praise and flattery, Li Qing, who had been sidelined, immediately perked up.

He tossed his teacup aside and began nodding frantically, his movements as rhythmic as a pestle pounding garlic.

"Yes, yes, yes! Old Jin, that fat guy, finally said something sensible today!"

Li Qing slapped his thigh and echoed.

"Chen Yang, think about it, when have we brothers ever suffered a loss when we've teamed up?"

I'll be in charge of giving you pointers from behind, and you'll be in charge of dominating the battlefield from the front.

"We definitely won't lose out by taking this job!"
