Ye Chen checked into the hotel with Mengmeng that night.
Early the next morning, he received a call from Shen Jing. After hanging up the phone, he urged the little fellow to get up and wash up. The father and daughter, along with a dog, went out.
Shen Jing told Ye Chen on the phone that the departure point was below his house. When Ye Chen arrived, he saw a red Ferrari parked by the roadside.
Shen Jing and his son were talking to a woman.
The woman had a pair of willowy eyebrows, a pair of clear and bright almond-shaped eyes, and a slightly high nose bridge. She wore a black stocking outfit, but her expression was slightly cold.
Beside her stood a white-haired old man who was resting with his eyes closed, as if he was not interested in anything.
Shen Jing welcomed Ye Chen immediately as soon as he saw him. He said with guilt written all over his face, "You're finally here. I thought you were mad yesterday."
"No, you're overthinking," Ye Chen said.
Meanwhile.
The lady next to Shen Chongshan noticed Ye Chen too. She said with a slightly cold expression, "County Chief Shen, is this the person we're waiting for?"
Shen Chongshan could only smile as he tried to explain, but he was secretly furious at Shen Jing.
That bastard! How dare he neglect Miss Tang for a high school classmate he hasn't seen for more than ten years! What's wrong with his brain?
Miss Tang was from a wealthy family in Gang Province. If he could please her, even if she gave him a little benefit, it would be much better than making a political achievement for him.
His disgust for Ye Chen grew stronger as he thought about that. He scoffed and pretended not to see anything.
"Come, let me introduce you."
Shen Jing led Ye Chen over. He looked at the lady in martial arts attire and the old man next to her and introduced, "Ms. Tang Ning, Master Yao, this is my friend, Ye Chen. He wants to visit Mount General this time too."
The old man suddenly opened his eyes and sized up Ye Chen with his eagle-like gaze. After noticing Mengmeng who was in Ye Chen's embrace, he shook his head and closed his eyes again.
"Why are you going to General Mountain?"
On the other hand, Tang Ning, who was standing aside, took a good look at Ye Chen and said coldly in an almost interrogative tone.
Ye Chen frowned. "Have fun."
Tang Ning's expression grew colder and colder. There was a trace of disgust in her eyes. "Carrying a child into the deep mountains to play? Let me remind you, don't blame us if something happens. "
To her, she thought that Ye Chen was someone who had nothing better to do.
Ye Chen said coldly, "Sure."
"Miss Tang, it's almost time," Master Yao said. "Since this little brother wants to follow us, let him be."
"If you want to go, then take another car."
Tangning scoffed and gestured for Master Yao to board the red Ferrari.
"Old Ye, take my car. Although my car isn't as high-end as theirs, it's more stable."
Shen Jing got into a Highlander directly while Shen Chongshan got into the passenger seat with a grim expression without saying a word. He did not even look at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen smiled and sat at the back while carrying Mengmeng. He said nothing.
Shen Jing drove the Highlander in front to lead the way, while Tangning followed behind in the Ferrari. The two cars headed towards the outskirts of the county.
…
In the Ferrari.
Tang Ning glanced at Master Yao through the rearview mirror and asked without even turning her head, "I don't understand. Why did you let the country bumpkin go with us earlier?"
"Miss Tang, don't forget that we're keeping a low profile this time. Your Tang family isn't united."
Master Yao closed his eyes to rest and said, "Since that brat knows where we're going, let him follow us. I won't care if he dies if anything happens to him along the way."
Tangning became serious upon hearing that. Although the Tang family was a wealthy family in Gang Province, they were not united internally. For example, her uncle …
Tangning only said after a few seconds of silence, "Master Yao, are you sure that the black spot on my back was caused by the destruction of my ancestral grave?"
Three years ago, there was a black spot the size of a palm three inches below her shoulder. It did not work even after taking medicine. The Feng Shui master before her, Master Yao, identified it as a sand spot.
"Of course, people are mediocre. They only know that Feng Shui can nourish people, but they don't know that Feng Shui can kill people too!"
Master Yao opened his eyes and smiled proudly, "Miss Tang, the spot on your back is called a sand spot. There are five elements in Feng Shui, which are dragon, cave, sand, water, and direction. The sand is the mountain near the dragon cave.
"The sand spot is also known as the grave poison. It refers to the destruction of the ancestral grave. The dragon cave has turned into a sand spot, and the ancestral court is damaged. As the direct descendant of the Tang family, it's natural that you're affected."
Tangning frowned. She felt that Master Yao's words had a great impact on her. She asked after some hesitation, "Master Yao, is there any evidence in Feng Shui?"
In reality, she still did not believe in Feng Shui. She only believed that man could conquer nature and science.
Master Yao shook his head and said, "Miss Tang, you'll understand after I tell you a story.
Once upon a time, an old beggar was dying by the side of the road. A young man named Zhou happened to pass by, so he brought him home and took care of him out of kindness.
Not long after the old beggar recovered, the young man's father died of old age.
To thank the young man for saving his life, the old beggar personally chose a Feng Shui treasure cave for his father and buried him there. He even helped the young man move his ancestral grave.
He even said that 20 years later, the young man's descendants would definitely become vice-ministers in politics. If they went into business, they would definitely be rich.
Of course, the premise of all this was that the young man's family had to support the old beggar and send him off.
The young man swore to the sky and agreed.
Sure enough, 20 years later, the young man's eldest son became the second most powerful person in a prefecture-level city with just a high school diploma.
The young man's daughter chose to go into business. As soon as she started her business, she met countless people who helped her. In just a few years, she made her small company one of the top 500 companies in China.
The young man later died of illness. Following his death, his descendants broke their promise and stopped caring for the old beggar.
The old beggar was old, and with no one to rely on, he was getting worse by the day.
One night, the old beggar went to the Zhou family's ancestral grave alone and fanned it with a fan.
Every time the fan fanned, a gold ingot made of paper would appear from the Zhou family's ancestral grave, as well as official hats made of paper.
These gold ingots were the Zhou family's fortune, and the official hats were the Zhou family's power.
A month later, the Zhou family was found guilty of corruption and tax evasion. Those in politics were punished, and those in business went bankrupt overnight.
The towering skyscraper of power and wealth collapsed in a single day. "
Tang Ning was expressionless after hearing that. She smiled and said, "Master Yao, you've already said that this is just a story."
Stories were usually used to educate the later generations. As for the origin and authenticity of the story, how many people would investigate it?
Master Yao chuckled. "What if I tell you that the old beggar is my grandmaster?"
