Power and wealth bring fragrance

Wei Yuan felt a chill run down his spine, but Chu Xinrou was completely oblivious, admiring the jade hairpin as she looked at it.

However, three seconds later, Chu Xinrou suddenly felt a strange heat rising from her lower abdomen, which quickly spread throughout her body, making her breathing suddenly become rapid and disordered.

"What's going on...it's so hot..."

Chu Xinrou's cheeks burned, her beautiful eyes quickly filled with a layer of wet mist, and her limbs seemed to have all their strength drained away, making her feel weak and about to collapse.

Wei Yuan quickly reached out and hugged Chu Xinrou, but Chu Xinrou's eyes were already glazed over and her body was burning hot.

"It hurts so much... Help me..."

Chu Xinrou groaned in pain, while Wei Yuan was so frightened that he got goosebumps all over his body.

This malevolent energy is terrifying; it's deadly!

Immediately afterward, Wei Yuan's powerful hearing detected that Chu Xinrou's heart rate instantly spiked to 150; if it continued, she might die!

"Hey, what should we do now?!"

Wei Yuan, at a loss, could only hope that the Listening Tattoo would respond.

Before he could finish speaking, Wei Yuan felt a surge of heat in his chest, and a flood of information once again appeared in his mind.

"When evil energy enters the body, it can be neutralized through sexual intercourse, or absorbed by listening to the inherited mark."

Wei Yuan was stunned. Looking at Chu Xinrou in his arms, whose face was flushed and who exuded an amazing attraction, his heart suddenly began to pound violently.

sexual intercourse?

That would be...

However, Wei Yuan abandoned the idea the next moment.

He might sleep with Lin Weiwei, Zhao Xuan, and Liu Xiangrong to get revenge, but he wouldn't do something like taking advantage of someone in distress.

In just a moment, Chu Xinrou had already wrapped her arms around him with hazy eyes. Wei Yuan dared not delay any longer and hurriedly asked her what was wrong.

"How can I absorb negative energy?"

The tattoo sparked a renewed interest, and the information in my mind was refreshed once again.

"By touching the place where evil energy gathers with both hands, the inherited mark can absorb the evil energy."

Wei Yuan quickly laid Chu Xinrou flat on the ground. His eyes swept over her and he saw a large mass of evil energy gathered in her lower abdomen, resembling a ball of red yarn. He pressed his hands down on it.

"Hmm~"

Chu Xinrou groaned, her face contorted in pain as she twisted her body, revealing glimpses of her cleavage.

With no distractions, Wei Yuan felt countless streams of chilling, malevolent energy being drawn into his palms and quickly disappearing into the Listening Tattoo.

The tattoo continued to generate heat, with countless streams of heat flowing from it and coursing through Wei Yuan's body, making him feel extremely comfortable, as if he were soaking in a hot spring.

As the malevolent energy was absorbed, the dazed look in Chu Xinrou's eyes slowly faded, and she gradually regained her senses.

She stole a glance at Wei Yuan, feeling the coolness all over her body, and was so embarrassed and ashamed that she wanted to bury her head in the ground.

Why won't she listen to advice?

Otherwise, I wouldn't have put myself in such an embarrassing situation!

While cursing herself inwardly, Chu Xinrou could only pretend that she hadn't recovered yet and let Wei Yuan treat her.

However, as the slight heat in her body subsided, Chu Xinrou couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity about Wei Yuan.

Who exactly is this man?

It's one thing to be able to open antique lock boxes, but to actually know about the legendary evil energy!

Could he be from some aristocratic family?

But what young master from a prominent family would work as a locksmith to make a living?

Chu Xinrou's thoughts were in disarray, and before she could come up with anything, a furious roar suddenly rang out.

"What are you doing!"

Wei Yuan was also startled awake. When he looked up, he saw a richly dressed young man stride in and kick him with a ferocious expression.

Wei Yuan quickly withdrew his hand, leaping back more than two meters away to dodge the young man's attack, which startled even himself.

His physical fitness seems to have improved a lot?

Could it be related to malevolent energy?

Chu Xinrou, no longer bothering to play dead, hurriedly got up, put down her wrinkled cheongsam skirt to cover her private parts, and scolded the young man.

"Liu Gang, what are you doing?"

The young man called Liu Gang looked at Chu Xinrou, whose face was flushed and whose skin was so smooth and glowing, and his teeth chattered with anger.

"What are you doing now?"

Chu Xinrou paused for a moment, pursed her red lips, and spoke somewhat awkwardly.

"This is the craftsman I hired to open the antique lockbox; he... he's giving me a massage!"

Liu Gang was so angry that he laughed instead.

"Send a locksmith for a massage? Do you even want to listen to what you're saying?!"

"You're always acting all prim and proper like a saint, but then you turn around and sleep around with a locksmith..."

"Snapped!"

Chu Xinrou slapped the young man hard across the face, her expression turning extremely ugly as she spoke, word by word.

"Liu Gang, you'd better remember who you are!"

"I never accepted your advances. You're just deluding yourself. What right do you have to lecture me?"

"Don't tell me we didn't do anything. He was just giving me a massage. Even if we did, what's it to you!"

Liu Gang covered his face, his eyes burning with rage. He glared at Wei Yuan and turned to leave.

Looking at Chu Xinrou, whose face was full of anger, Wei Yuan cautiously spoke.

"Mr. Chu, it seems your boyfriend has misunderstood. Should I explain things to him?"

Chu Xinrou shook her head repeatedly.

"He's not my boyfriend, just an annoying suitor."

Wei Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly spoke.

"That's good. The evil energy in your body has been mostly cleared away. I'll be going now."

Before he could finish speaking, Wei Yuan prepared to slip away, as staying any longer would be too awkward.

"Wait a moment."

Chu Xinrou stopped Wei Yuan and tossed the jade hairpin to him as if it were a hot potato.

"This is for you."

Wei Yuan raised an eyebrow in surprise and quickly handed it back.

"This is inappropriate; it's too expensive."

Chu Xinrou waved her hand, her face still showing lingering fear.

"Don't refuse. After what just happened, I wouldn't dare stay any longer. Consider this payment to cover your locksmith and medical expenses."

After a pause, Chu Xinrou's pretty face flushed slightly, and she whispered.

"Also, could you give me a business card? If the evil aura isn't... completely cleansed... then..."

Chu Xinrou spoke softer and softer, lowering her head shyly.

Wei Yuan understood, and immediately recalled the smooth feel and the enchanting scenery from earlier. He couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement and handed Chu Xinrou a business card that he always carried with him.

"This is my business card. If the negative energy recurs, just give me a call."

"I won't stand on ceremony, jade hairpin!"

Wei Yuan nodded to Chu Xinrou while holding the jade hairpin, then turned and left the back hall.

After watching Wei Yuan leave, Chu Xinrou carefully put away the business card and awkwardly went to the back to change her clothes.

……

Liu Gang walked out of the front hall with a gloomy face. Wang Sanyuan, who was still waiting there, quickly stood up and bowed and scraped to Liu Gang, disregarding the age difference.

"Young Master Liu, leaving so soon?"

Liu Gang paused, glancing sideways at Wang Sanyuan.

"Is the locksmith inside one of your men?"

Wang Sanyuan felt uneasy under his gaze and decisively shook his head.

"I don't know him either. He was asked to unlock the door by Boss Chu who offered a reward."

Liu Gang's eyes turned cold and menacing as he pointed a finger at Wang Sanyuan's chest.

"Since he's not one of yours, then go and find out who he is."

"If they can't find anything, you can forget about doing business!"

Liu Gang left angrily after uttering those harsh words, leaving Wang Sanyuan completely bewildered.

What does this have to do with him?

Wang Sanyuan couldn't help but look towards the back hall.

Chu Xinrou and Wei Yuan were unlocking a lock, so why did they anger Liu Gang?

This guy is the young master of Dingsheng Group, a leading real estate company in Shenzhen, with family assets of at least several billion.

Wang Sanyuan knew Liu Gang because Dingsheng Group bought a large number of door locks from Wang Sanyuan's company every year, making Liu Gang his legitimate financial backer.

Liu Gang's words could really force him to close down his business!

Wang Sanyuan originally planned to stay here and invite Wei Yuan to join his company to fill the gap in their inability to open ancient lock mechanisms.

Liu Gang's meddling made Wang Sanyuan instinctively sense something was wrong, and he immediately changed his mind.

He's just a locksmith; how could he compare to a sugar daddy?

Just as Wang Sanyuan was making his calculations, Wei Yuan also came out and asked in surprise, "You haven't left yet?"

Wang Sanyuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly went up to greet her warmly.

"I was just thinking of asking you about ancient lock mechanisms. Would it be convenient for you, young man?"

"If it's inconvenient, could you please give me your business card? I'd like to visit you another day to ask for your advice."

Wei Yuan was still preoccupied with the jade hairpin he had just acquired, and had no time to deal with Wang Sanyuan. He casually took out a business card and handed it to him.

"I have something to do later. Here's my business card. Let's talk another day."

After saying that, Wei Yuan left in a hurry.

Wang Sanyuan, holding the business card with a slight smile, dialed Liu Gang's number.

"Young Master Liu, we've found the person..."
