Chapter 71 New and Old Grudges, Shen Yu! You're fucking asking for death!
A detached villa in Yunding Mountain, Jiangcheng.
The scent of sandalwood, mixed with a faint hint of blood, permeated the closed study.
Zhao Ergou slumped in the pearwood armchair, clutching his chest and coughing violently twice, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
He thought that even if the backlash was severe, with his current abilities, he would definitely be able to recover after a period of recuperation.
Unexpectedly, the injury was more serious than he had imagined. His internal energy was in chaos, and the injury was slow to heal and even showed signs of worsening. Even walking normally caused him pain in his internal organs.
"Oh shit!"
He spat out the blood and foam from his mouth, his eyes surging with overwhelming ferocity.
Over the years, in Beijing's top elite circles, who doesn't respectfully address him as Mr. Zhao?
Throughout his many years in the industry, the luck-absorbing array he set up has never failed.
Not to mention that his formation was broken silently, and he was even hit with a backlash that almost killed him!
He must get back what he owed, with interest!
"Knock knock knock—"
A cautious knock sounded on the door, and Qian Long's obsequious voice came in from outside:
"Mr. Zhao, I've compiled all the information you requested about Shen Yu. Would you like to see it?"
"Come in."
Zhao Ergou suppressed the metallic taste in his throat, reverted to his aloof and unfathomable master demeanor, and looked at the doorway with a sinister gaze.
The door was gently pushed open, and Qian Long strode in, bowing low, holding a thick leather folder in both hands, a fawning smile plastered on his face.
"Mr. Zhao, I have completed all the tasks you instructed me to undertake!"
Qian Long placed the folder respectfully on the desk, his tone full of self-satisfaction.
"I've dug up every single thing Shen Yu has done in the last six months!"
I know exactly what time he spends with his child each day, what time he picks Jiang Xinlan up from the film set after work, and even the details of his brand's supply chain and company equity structure!
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Zhao Ergou's expression. Seeing that Zhao Ergou didn't show any emotion, he quickly leaned forward, flipped to the back of the folder, and pointed to the content marked in red pen to add:
"And then there's Lin Wan, the woman you asked me to keep an eye on. I've compiled all her experiences here, with every key time point clearly marked!"
"Okay, put it here. You go outside and wait. No one is allowed to come in without my permission."
Zhao Ergou glanced at him indifferently, his tone full of impatience, clearly not taking this heir of the Qian family in Jiangcheng seriously.
"Yes, yes, yes! I'll be guarding outside the door. Call me anytime you need anything!"
Qian Long quickly agreed, not daring to linger for even a moment, and quietly slipped out, carefully closing the door behind him.
The study fell completely silent.
Zhao Ergou slowly opened the folder in front of him, his fingertips tracing the pages, his gaze sweeping over Shen Yu's basic information, his disdain growing stronger.
"Ha, this wild brat who suddenly appeared half a year ago, with no parents and an unknown background. He only managed to latch onto two powerful figures by curing Lu Zongming and Qin Zhengxiong's illnesses, and started two lousy beauty and health brands, and now he dares to act all high and mighty in Jiangcheng?"
He scoffed, casually flipping through a few pages, his eyes filled with disdain.
All that talk of superhuman medical skills and being a rising star in Jiangcheng was utter nonsense in his eyes.
Mortal wealth and power are less than ants in the face of esoteric arts.
He thought that the one who could break his luck-absorbing array was some reclusive master of the Xuanmen sect, but it turned out to be just a charlatan who relied on unorthodox remedies to infiltrate the circles of the wealthy.
Just as he was full of contempt and about to casually close the folder, his fingertips suddenly stopped.
The latter half of the folder contained a list of events that had happened to Lin Wan during this period.
Because she wore a silver bracelet that supposedly brought her good luck, Lin Wan had been having a lot of bad luck, and even got sick and was hospitalized half a month ago.
Everything was normal until then.
It wasn't until she was hospitalized that Jiang Xinlan brought Shen Yu to visit her at the hospital.
After the two left the hospital, Lin Wan recovered quickly, and the silver bracelet on her wrist also disappeared.
After some thought, Zhao Ergou realized that it was the day he discovered the formation had been destroyed.
Fearing that things might get complicated if he delayed, he sent Qian Long to investigate, and at the same time prepared an enhanced version of the puppet, asking the Qian family to find a way to place it by Lin Wan's side.
The Qian family did a good job; they quickly bribed Lin Wan's assistant and hid the item inside Lin Wan's pillow.
Lin Wan did indeed start having bad luck again, and was suddenly involved in a car accident just two days later.
Logically speaking, Lin Wan should have died in that car accident, but somehow she survived unharmed.
Instead, she went to see Jiang Xinlan and Shen Yu afterwards. Her assistant was arrested that same day for stealing Lin Wan's valuables.
Since then, Lin Wan has never had any bad luck again.
Moreover, on the afternoon that Jiang Xinlan took Shen Yu to the hotel where Lin Wan was staying, he was severely injured by the backlash!
Upon seeing this, Zhao Ergou's pupils suddenly contracted, and he angrily slammed the folder in his hand onto the table, making the teacup jump!
The timeline fits perfectly!
Zhao Ergou never expected that the person who broke his luck-absorbing array that he had set up for three years, causing him to suffer backlash and crack his natal talisman, was actually Shen Yu, whom he had never taken seriously!
Realizing this, Zhao Ergou's expression turned serious.
The energy-absorbing array he set up was a unique, evil technique personally passed down by his master, Liu Qingxuan. The array's key elements were interlocked, making it extremely well-concealed.
Let alone ordinary charlatans, even the most famous feng shui masters in Beijing might not be able to break the curse!
This Shen Yu not only broke the formation silently, but also dealt him a precise backlash, and even saved Lin Wan from a fatal car accident!
This is definitely not some ordinary con artist!
This Shen Yu definitely understands esoteric arts!
Moreover, his cultivation level is probably far above his!
A deep sense of dread gripped his heart like a venomous snake, making him shiver involuntarily.
But after the initial fear came an even more insane and furious outburst!
"Shen Yu! You fucking want to die!"
Zhao Ergou slammed his hand on the table, causing the teacup to overturn instantly and spill scalding tea all over the floor, but he was completely unaware.
This energy-absorbing array was the core task his master entrusted to him before going into seclusion. It was used to stabilize and enhance the destiny of Jiang Manli, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family!
Lin Wan was a flag that he had found after a great deal of effort, the one born on the same day, month, and year as Jiang Manli, and whose destiny was most compatible.
And just like that, Shen Yu ruined it!
Not only that, he was also seriously injured while breaking the formation, and his cultivation level plummeted. If his master, who was in seclusion, found out, he would definitely skin him alive!
Not to mention, Jiang Manli specifically instructed him to come to Jiangcheng and, while he was at it, eliminate Shen Yu and Jiang Xinlan, these two thorns in his side, to prevent future troubles!
With both old and new grudges combined, Zhao Ergou's reason was completely consumed by rage.
"Qian Long, get your ass in here!"
