"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon doesn't really count. I can only say that a strong dragon will not overwhelm a local snake. In Jiangcheng, even a dragon has to be controlled by me."
Yang Bailiu suddenly gave Lai Yunting a hard blow.
This surprised me somewhat, and I thought he had taken the wrong medicine.
Logically speaking, with his character that seeks stability in everything, he shouldn't do such an unwise thing, right?
Or is it that he feels that he has already made trouble with the eldest young master of the Lai family tonight anyway, so he simply lets go and breaks the pot?
"I've finally seen the local snakes in Jiangcheng."
Lai Yunting suddenly smiled and nodded, then turned and left.
Yang Bailiu and I watched the men help him get into the car and then the car drove away, and then we both breathed a sigh of relief.
"You shouldn't let him go. This guy looks like he's holding a grudge. He definitely wants to settle the score with you later."
Miao Yuting said with her arms crossed.
"If he is not from the Lai family, I would really like to kill him."
Yang Bailiu sighed slightly as he spoke.
"What is the origin of this Lai family?"
I frowned and looked at Yang Bailiu with some curiosity.
If I just rely on the name of the number one Feng Shui family in Kyoto and the invisible richest man in Kyoto, I don’t think Yang Bailiu should be so afraid, right? After all, he can be regarded as a Feng Shui master in Jiangcheng, and he has real skills in the Feng Shui industry.
Here, he is already at the top.
"I don't know the specifics, but according to external rumors, the ancestors of the Lai family should have inherited the inheritance of Lai Buyi, a great Feng Shui master of the generation, and half of the Feng Shui Book written by Lai Buyi has also been passed down, which is what is called in history.
"The Qingwu Preface, but it must be the original version. The Lai family has relied on this half of the Feng Shui Book to rise and fall in countless eras, ups and downs, and still stands today, which shows its mystery."
Yang Bailiu shook his head with emotion as he spoke, "The profound foundation of such an ancient Feng Shui family is definitely beyond the imagination of people like you and me."
"Everything has its ups and downs, and as you said, wealth cannot last more than three generations. The Lai family has been glorious for so long, and maybe it's time to come to an end. What do you think?"
I looked at Yang Bailiu thoughtfully.
"What did I say? I don't have great luck like you, how can I compete with the Lai family? Besides, even if they really come to an end, it is definitely not something I can compete with."
Yang Bailiu spread his hands and said with a dark face.
"Then you were tough with others just now? Didn't you get yourself into trouble?"
As soon as I heard this, I was immediately speechless.
"I thought we had the upper hand anyway, so I pretended, but who knew that guy would turn the blame on me?"
Speaking of this, Yang Bailiu was somewhat embarrassed.
"..."
As soon as I heard this, a black line formed on my forehead. I had never noticed before that he was also the kind of person who liked to pretend.
Now it’s okay, just put yourself in it, right?
"The Infernal Corpse was clearly controlled by me and Lai Changming. Why do you have to pretend to be so?"
Miao Yuting also looked speechless.
After she finished speaking, she tilted her head and thought for a while, then said thoughtfully: "But having said that, this young master Lai has such a deep family background, it would be great if she could be his wife, right?
Do you think I should put a love charm on him or something?"
"You really don't have a long memory? Have you forgotten the consequences of placing a love poison on me so quickly?"
I couldn't help but remind Miao Yuting.
This hit her pain, and Miao Yuting was speechless on the spot.
"As the saying goes, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. Once you think of harming others, you must be prepared to bear the consequences."
Yang Bailiu also took the opportunity to scold Miao Yuting.
"Oh, I just said it casually, you people really have no meaning at all. I'm leaving."
Miao Yuting looked very impatient and left directly after saying that.
I didn't try to stop her. Anyway, the matter has been resolved now, and it doesn't matter if she is there or not.
The main thing is that now we have to think about what to do with this body.
Although the Yin corpse has been completely burned away by the candlelight and turned into a dead corpse, you still have to dispose of this corpse, otherwise it may cause unnecessary trouble.
"Why don't you burn this body in the yard? If you take it out and let others discover it, it will be a problem after all."
Yang Bailiu looked at the body tied to the pillar and suggested.
"That's fine."
I thought about it for a moment and agreed.
Although burning corpses in the yard makes people feel somewhat sad, it is indeed easy for people to find this thing if it is taken out, and trouble will definitely be inevitable.
I simply burned them all in the yard.
Just as we said, Yang Bailiu and I made some firewood and piled it in the middle of the yard. Then we untied the body from the pillar, carried it to the pile of firewood, and then lit a fire.
The fever lasted until the next morning.
This is the first time I know that a corpse burns so slowly. After all, it is not a cremator and does not have such a high temperature, so the process will naturally be extremely long.
In the end, the old man's body was completely burned to ashes. Then Yang Bailiu and I cleaned it up, threw the ashes into the trash can outside, and then flushed the ground with a water pipe, as if nothing had happened.
It's just that a large piece of the slate tiles paved in the yard was burnt black, which somewhat affects the appearance.
Yang Bailiu and I were both very tired after spending the whole night without sleeping, so after breakfast, he went directly back to sleep.
Chen Yurou and I packed up our belongings and moved to the villa on the bank of Nanhu Lake in the morning.
After all, corpses had been burned in this yard, so I didn't care, but Chen Yurou would inevitably have a shadow in her heart, so after thinking about it, she might as well just move to the villa. She would have to move there sooner or later anyway.
I slept until about four o'clock in the afternoon, and when I got up, it was already dusk.
The afterglow of the setting sun poured over the entire Nanhu Lake, the water surface was sparkling, and occasionally a few boats salvaging garbage from the lake slowly passed by. Everything seemed so quiet and peaceful.
Not to mention living in a place like this, it is really a pleasure.
Unfortunately, by the time I went out to buy some food, the sun had already set. Night fell quickly, and the bright lights once again enveloped this bustling city.
The winter weather in the northwest means that the days are always extremely short and the nights are extremely long.
I cooked several dishes and opened a bottle of red wine, planning to celebrate Chen Yurou and I moving into a new home.
As a result, just halfway through dinner, Chen Yurou suddenly answered the phone, and her expression immediately changed.
"What's wrong?"
I realized something was wrong and asked her quickly.
"My dad... passed away."
Chen Yurou held her cell phone and said with a confused expression.
"died?"
When I heard this, I couldn't help but frown.
Chen Baili was in middle age and had no serious illness. Why did he die suddenly?
Could it be because the Chen family has run out of energy and something happened again?
I don't think Chen Yurou is too sad. After all, she has been deeply disappointed with Chen Baili. But as her biological daughter, now that Chen Baili has passed away, she must still go back to pay her last respects.
By the time Chen Yurou and I rushed over, the Chen family had already mourned the death and the funeral was proceeding in an orderly manner, but there were only a few people who came to express their condolences to Chen Baili.
There is a saying that whether you are a failure or not depends on how many people come to attend your funeral after your death. Judging from this situation, Chen Baili must have failed completely in his life.
Why bother? A life of utilitarianism, unscrupulous means, and then it's gone. Shouldn't the Chen family's huge family fortune still have to be left to others?
"Yurou, your father left a will before his death, saying that you had severed ties with him, so the Chen family's property has nothing to do with you."
As soon as Chen Yurou and I finished putting incense, Wang Xiuzhi came forward and said this, making it seem as if Chen Yurou and I were here to divide the family property.
I didn't care, and I never thought that the Chen family's property had anything to do with me. But when Chen Yurou heard this, she looked obviously disappointed.
"Actually, don't blame your dad. Brother, he just likes to be angry. He probably won't hold his breath until he dies. That's why he said that. People are dead anyway, so don't take it to heart."
Chen Baichuan's wife even came up to comfort Chen Yurou.
But these two people sang and harmonized, and after a few words, I immediately realized that something was not quite right.
After all, they never said how Chen Baili died. Instead, they talked about the family property as soon as they opened their mouths. This was not normal.
