After driving for more than two hours, they finally arrived at the boundary of Sacred Land County.

It was already past three in the afternoon.

The couple, fearing that Wu Xiaoyu was hungry, had the driver take them directly to the Holy Land Hotel.

Wu Xiaoyu got out of the car, looked up, and saw the place where the couple invited him was the Holy Land Hotel, and couldn’t help but smile.

Zheng Xinyu didn’t understand his meaning, so he just smiled awkwardly and led him inside.

The three of them booked a small private room, and while waiting for the food, Zheng Xinyu started to speak sincerely, “The accident report from yesterday came out.”

“After the on-site investigation and questioning the truck driver, it was initially concluded that Qi’er deliberately hit the truck!

But after Qi’er woke up, he said there was no truck in front of him at all!”

Even the traffic accident had doubts?

Wu Xiaoyu couldn’t help but take it more seriously.

He was thinking about how to ask the couple if they had done anything wrong, and then heard someone knocking on the door.

Zheng Xinyu was also surprised, calmed himself, and said, “Come in!”

As soon as he spoke, two men in suits walked in, one after the other.

Wu Xiaoyu recognized the man in the back, who was the procurement manager of the Holy Land Hotel, Huang Zhongqi.

The general manager of the Holy Land Hotel heard from the headwaiter that Zheng Xinyu was dining in his restaurant, so he quickly brought Huang Zhongqi to pay a visit.

As soon as the general manager entered the private room, he was curious to see Zheng Xinyu inviting a young man for a meal.

Although he was curious, he disguised it well and didn’t show any surprise, smiling at Zheng Xinyu, he said, “Welcome, Leader, to inspect our hotel!”

Although Zheng Xinyu disliked this kind of social niceties, he did it anyway, replying, “No, no!

I’m just here for a meal, not an inspection!”

The general manager furtively glanced at Wu Xiaoyu, curious, and couldn’t help but ask, “And this is…?”

Before Zheng Xinyu could answer, Huang Zhongqi whispered, “Mr.

Zhang, he’s Wu Xiaoyu.

Our top-grade mushrooms come from him!”

Despite his low voice, Zheng Xinyu heard him clearly.

Upon hearing that Wu Xiaoyu was still in the mushroom business, he became even more curious about him.

So young, not only highly skilled in medicine but also knowledgeable about supernatural things, and most importantly, good at business—he really is a genius!

Mr.

Zhang learned from his subordinate that this person was only engaged in mushroom business, feeling a bit disappointed, yet he smiled and said, “So it’s Brother Wu!”

Zheng Xinyu picked up a bite of food and, seeing that Mr.

Zhang still had no intention of leaving, reminded, “Mr.

Zhang, I’m really just here to eat; can I eat in peace?”

Mr.

Zhang, experienced in the business world, good at reading people, realized the leader found him an eyesore, quickly smiled and apologized, “Sorry to disturb your meal!”

The two men left the private room, and Mr.

Zhang asked Huang Zhongqi, “So this Wu Xiaoyu is just a mushroom seller?”

Although Huang Zhongqi did not know much about Wu Xiaoyu, he thought that since Wu could gather so many wild mushrooms, he must be a rural person.

“Mr.

Zhang, he shouldn’t have any special background,” Huang Zhongqi carefully said.

“Then why did Zheng Xinyu invite him for a meal?

I, along with several partners, have invited Zheng Xinyu to meals many times without success.

Why does he so favor a young boy?” Mr.

Zhang muttered to himself.

Knowing that Mr.

Zhang was preparing to enter the real estate industry and had always wanted to connect with Zheng Xinyu, Huang Zhongqi said, “Mr.

Zhang, this Wu Xiaoyu mentioned to me about raising prices!”

Mr.

Zhang, upon hearing this, got excited as if he had found the key to the treasure vault and said, “Raise the prices…

Give him a raise!”

“Raise it by how much?” Huang Zhongqi cautiously asked.

Mr.

Zhang didn’t respond directly but asked, “What’s the current purchase price?”

“Forty yuan per catty!”

Mr.

Zhang thought that the price was already quite high.

After pondering for a while, he generously said, “Raise it by fifty percent, sixty yuan per catty!”

Eating in the private room, Wu Xiaoyu had no idea that just by showing up with Zheng Xinyu, the price of his mushrooms soared by fifty percent.

After the meal, Wu Xiaoyu accompanied Zheng Xinyu and his wife back to their home.

After dropping them off, the driver sensibly drove away without following them inside or asking any questions.

Under Zheng Xinyu’s guidance, Wu Xiaoyu walked into the room.

The moment he stepped into the entrance, he felt a vague chill on his back, instantly becoming more alert.

Zheng Xinyu’s wife, seeing how cautious he was, asked hurriedly, “Is there something wrong here?”

“This house was allocated by the state and we’ve lived in it for over ten years.

The furniture and arrangement have never been moved,” she explained.

Wu Xiaoyu glanced around at the room’s setup.

Although nothing seemed particularly out of place, he still felt uneasy and strange.

Zheng Xinyu, observing his careful nature, said, “Feel free to look around.

The bedrooms and study are on the second floor.”

Wu Xiaoyu nodded, still ignoring the couple, and slowly made his way to the kitchen.

Upon entering the kitchen, he saw all the tools messily placed on the chopping board, which made him frown.

Zheng Xinyu’s wife saw this and complained, “What’s with Sister Ling messing up the stuff again!”

“Sister Ling?” Wu Xiaoyu questioned.

Zheng Xinyu said, “Sister Ling is our housekeeper and has taken the day off.

She probably hurried home and didn’t tidy up properly.”

With all sorts of tools scattered on the chopping board, numbering more than ten, even the most careless person wouldn’t ignore so many kitchen utensils.

Moreover, there’s no situation where one would use so many knives at once.

Who uses that many knives to cook?

If there’s nothing wrong with Sister Ling, then there must be something in this room!

Wu Xiaoyu continued to ask, “Do you know this Sister Ling well?”

Zheng Xinyu’s wife said, “Sister Ling is a distant cousin of mine.

She’s very honest and has worked with us for seven or eight years, always very diligent.”

If that’s the case, Sister Ling probably isn’t the problem.

The appearance of so many knives indicates a malevolent spirit is at work!

Wu Xiaoyu left the kitchen and headed to the bathroom, where he saw the showerhead continuously dripping water.

Just as he was about to touch it, the dripping suddenly stopped.

All these signs indicated that the experiences of Zheng Xinyu and his son were not due to feng shui issues.

After a brief inspection, Wu Xiaoyu sat down on the sofa with countless questions but didn’t know how to start.

Zheng Xinyu, sitting beside him, saw his hesitation and said, “Just say whatever you need to say, I can handle it!”

“Alright, have you two done anything…

particularly immoral?” Wu Xiaoyu hesitantly asked.

The two furrowed their brows, thought for a moment, and then firmly said, “Absolutely not!

We’ve always abided by the law and never done anything outrageous.”

“Even though Qi’er is playful and often gets into trouble, he knows his limits in major issues and would never do something like bullying others!”

Just as Zheng Xinyu mentioned his son, a loud banging sound came from the kitchen.

Wu Xiaoyu quickly got up and rushed over.
