Power and wealth bring fragrance

The atmosphere in the dean's office was so quiet it was almost oppressive.

Wei Yuan sat upright on the sofa, calmly closing his eyes to rest, showing no sign of emotion.

In stark contrast to him was Dean Hong.

He had long lost his usual composure and calmness. With his hands behind his back and his brows furrowed tightly, he paced anxiously back and forth in the office.

Thinking about Chairman Chen's threats before he left, and the possible retaliation he might face, the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

Just as Dean Hong was in a state of mental turmoil and anxiety, Wei Yuan, who had been sitting still the whole time, twitched his earlobe almost imperceptibly.

With his all-seeing ear, he could hear a series of hurried, chaotic footsteps approaching the office from more than ten meters away.

Immediately afterwards, Dean Hong, who had been immersed in anxiety, also heard the commotion outside the door.

"Clang—"

The door to the dean's office was shoved open from the outside with tremendous force. The door frame slammed against the wall with a dull thud, the sound of which continued to vibrate.

A group of figures, covered in dust and looking disheveled, rushed in one after another.

These were the Chen family members who had just left in anger!

At this moment, they had completely lost all of their previous arrogance and haughtiness.

Everyone was deathly pale, their eyes filled with lingering fear, their clothes disheveled, and their hair tangled and matted.

Many people had thick soot and ash on their cheeks, necks, and arms, and the edges of their clothes even had slight burn marks. They looked disheveled, like stray dogs that had just fled from a disaster.

Chairman Chen, who was at the head of the group, had completely lost his composure and authority from just moments before.

His forehead was covered in fine cold sweat, his face was ashen, his body trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with unconcealed fear and lingering dread. His spirit and energy had completely collapsed.

Upon seeing this, Dean Hong was greatly shocked and instinctively stepped forward, asking with a mixture of surprise and doubt.

"President Chen, what brings you back?"

"What happened here?!"

Half an hour ago, Chairman Chen and his entourage left with great arrogance, but now they are suddenly in such a sorry state, returning like stray dogs. What exactly happened?

Chairman Chen did not answer Dean Hong's question, but instead bypassed Dean Hong and stared intently at Wei Yuan, who was sitting on the sofa.

The young figure who had previously been despised, questioned, and resented by them was now no longer seen as a charlatan pretending to be mysterious, but as a wise man who understood the secrets of heaven and whose words carried the weight of law.

Awe, fear, guilt, lingering dread...

A multitude of complex emotions instantly overwhelmed Chairman Chen, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

The next second, to Dean Hong's utter shock, Chairman Chen, who had always held a high position, bent his knees slightly and bowed deeply to Wei Yuan with utmost solemnity.

His voice was no longer cold and arrogant, but trembling with extreme respect, every word earnest and full of remorse.

"Mr. Wei, I was blind to your greatness!"

"Just now, we didn't believe your ominous signs and misinterpreted your good words as curses. That was extremely disrespectful."

"Now that your words have come true, we know we were utterly wrong. We have come here specifically to sincerely apologize and beg you to be magnanimous and forgive our ignorance and recklessness!"

"Please, I beg you, lend a helping hand and avert this calamity for my Chen family!"

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

The Chen family relatives behind him also composed themselves, bowed their heads, and looked at Wei Yuan with extreme awe and fear. No one dared to show the slightest contempt.

Dean Hong froze on the spot, his eyes wide open, his mind blank, completely stunned.

He stared blankly at the scene before him that defied all expectations, his heart pounding wildly, his chest filled with utter shock, unable to recover for a long time.

Just moments ago, the Chen family was locked in a fierce battle of wits and hatred, with everyone eager to hold him and Wei Yuan accountable and severely punish them. But in the blink of an eye, they bowed their heads, offered sincere apologies, and humbly begged for help.

This 180-degree reversal was so abrupt and shocking!

He simply couldn't understand what terrifying changes had occurred in just a few tens of minutes that could make the arrogant and powerful Chairman Chen bow down so humbly and respectfully to a young junior and admit his mistake.

Utterly astonished, Dean Hong could no longer suppress his doubts and asked with difficulty, "President Chen... what... what exactly happened? Why are you all..."

Chairman Chen straightened up, his face still deathly pale. Recalling the terrifying moment just now, cold sweat soaked his clothes again, and his voice still trembled with barely suppressed emotion.

"We have just arrived at the airport, boarded our private jet, and are about to take off."

"But just before takeoff, the right engine of the plane suddenly malfunctioned without warning and caught fire violently!"

"Thank goodness the plane hadn't taken off yet, so we were able to evacuate in time and save our lives."

"If we had been any later, and the plane had crashed, our entire Chen family would have perished today, without a single survivor!"

"Not to mention, before the plane engine caught fire, we also encountered bizarre signs such as a car accident and a crash, it was simply..."

At this point, Chairman Chen couldn't continue speaking, his eyes filled with lingering fear and relief at surviving the ordeal.

boom!

These words struck Dean Hong like a thunderclap in the office, hitting him hard in the heart!

Dean Hong froze, his scalp tingled instantly, and a bone-chilling cold rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, chilling his entire body to the bone.

The plane's engine suddenly malfunctioned and caught fire! The entire crew narrowly escaped death!

This was no simple accident; it was a catastrophic disaster that nearly wiped out the entire Chen family!

In just half an hour, a car accident and a plane fire occurred, and one after another, deadly bad luck piled up, which was extremely bizarre!

Upon hearing what Chairman Chen had just said, Dean Hong's pupils suddenly contracted, and he spoke in disbelief.

"Could it be... that all these accidents, this deadly disaster, are truly caused by some kind of evil spirit, a bloody calamity?"

None of the Chen family members responded or argued.

But their sudden deathly pale faces, their slightly trembling bodies, and the lingering fear in their eyes had already given the answer.

Seeing their reactions, Dean Hong was completely shaken and could no longer suppress the turbulent emotions in his heart.

He slowly turned his head, his gaze fixed on Wei Yuan, who was sitting quietly on the sofa.

Wei Yuan remained calm and composed, his expression serene and unwavering, as if he had foreseen everything and was unmoved by the sudden turn of events.

Dean Hong suddenly felt a little short of breath.

It turns out that those words that he and the Chen family had regarded as absurd metaphysics and superstitious nonsense were never just Wei Yuan talking nonsense or making a fuss!

He said he was surrounded by evil spirits, and that's exactly what he meant!

He said his luck had collapsed and bloodshed was constant, and indeed, he suffered one disaster after another and narrowly escaped death!

This man, who sits calmly on the fishing platform, is actually a peerless master who understands the secrets of heaven and possesses secret skills!
