Chapter 539: Apocalypse True Rich Girl Cannon Fodder (10)

Luo Ning raised his hand and pointed to the old man, writing, "Does your grandfather have anything on him? Something worn or under his pillow or on the bed? Check everything."

Qin Xinyue thought for a moment, then shook her head at Luo Ning.

Luo Ning wrote, "Check his body, there must be something, whether it’s under the pillow or on the bed, check everywhere."

Qin Xinyue was skeptical, but she went ahead and did as Luo Ning instructed.

Finally, she found a small, exquisite nose snuff bottle underneath her grandfather’s pillow.

Qin Xinyue wasn’t particularly surprised.

She took Luo Ning’s paper and pen, writing, "This is my grandfather’s favorite nose snuff bottle, so he always keeps it close by."

Luo Ning pointed at the nose snuff bottle and wrote, "Your grandfather’s illness is caused by this thing."

Qin Xinyue’s eyes widened in disbelief, writing, "How is that possible?"

Luo Ning wrote, "Yin Sha Qi is entwined around this nose snuff bottle. If an elderly person carries it for a long time, it can lead to dizziness, weakness, nervous exhaustion, and eventually death."

Qin Xinyue’s surprise deepened. Indeed, the doctors had said that her grandfather’s nervous exhaustion was severe, a key reason for his coma.

Luo Ning continued to write, "Think about it, has your grandfather started suffering from insomnia, nightmares, and nervous exhaustion that led to his coma after he started carrying this nose snuff bottle?"

Qin Xinyue thought carefully, and it seemed that it was true.

Then she remembered that the nose snuff bottle was a gift from her husband because her grandfather’s only hobby was collecting nose snuff bottles.

Every time he got a new one, he would carry it with him and often take it out to play with.

Then she suddenly felt an inexplicable chill all over her body.

She hastily wrote with the pen, "Are you sure the nose snuff bottle is the problem? Can my grandfather’s illness be cured?"

Luo Ning nodded and wrote, "I am certain. We just have to take away the nose snuff bottle and extract the Yin Sha Qi from your grandfather’s body, and he will be fully awake."

"The damage caused by the evil spirit can be treated. I will prescribe a regimen for you to follow, and after taking the medicine for some time, his body will recover to its state before falling ill."

Seeing this, Qin Xinyue sighed with relief, but she didn’t completely let go of her doubts about Luo Ning.

She wrote, "Then please help my grandfather extract that Yin Sha Qi; I will be extremely grateful and provide anything you ask in return."

Luo Ning wrote, "Fine. Cure the old master’s illness, and you will pay me one million for my services."

Today, she wasn’t just there to make money, but she also wanted to make connections with Qin Xinyue and Mr. Qin.

She had suspected that Mr. Qin’s illness was caused by Lu Cong, and after arriving, she found that it truly was.

If Lu Cong failed to secure his position and Mr. Qin regained his health, then in the post-apocalyptic Capital City, Lu Cong wouldn’t be able to claim a place for himself at the Kyoto Base, and the position would likely be taken by Mr. Qin or Qin Xinyue herself.

The Luo Family would then lose a powerful ally, and Luo Baomiao would lose a formidable protector.

If it could sabotage the good prospects of the Luo Family and Luo Baomiao, Luo Ning was more than willing to do it.

Seeing that Luo Ning wanted money, Qin Xinyue’s suspicions lessened slightly, writing, "As long as you can restore my grandfather’s health, the money is not an issue."

Luo Ning raised his hand, gesturing ’okay,’ then took out a talisman pen, vermillion, and talisman paper and drew an exorcism talisman.

The evil spirit afflicting the old man was caused by the nose snuff bottle, not a spell cast by someone, so it was easier to break.

In today’s world, the practice of Feng Shui Xuan Shu had declined, and genuine masters knowledgeable in these arts were rare; many charlatans pretending to understand Feng Shui and physiognomy were prevalent.

She drew two talismans, placing one in the pocket of the old man’s hospital gown and using the other to wrap the nose snuff bottle.

Then, she used the talisman to transfer a significant portion of the evil spirit from the old master’s body into the nose snuff bottle.

After completing these tasks, Luo Ning wrote: In about ten more minutes, the old master should wake up.

Qin Xinyue widened her eyes in disbelief and wrote: Really?

Luo Ning wrote: You will see if it’s true or not in ten minutes. Most of the evil spirit has been extracted from the old master’s body; the remaining part will continue to be neutralized by the talisman he carries.

Around seven days later, all the evil spirit will be pulled out of the old master’s body, and the talisman will automatically turn to ash.

Qin Xinyue wrote: Okay, I will wait ten minutes and see.

At this moment, her heart was in turmoil, and she needed to think.

The old master had only one son, Qin Xinyue’s father, and after her parents passed away early, he focused on training her as his successor.

Moreover, he did not plan to marry her off but instead decided to have a son-in-law join the family by choosing Lu Cong, who was good-looking, had a gentle nature, and liked Qin Xinyue.

Lu Cong came from a rural family with many brothers, so he did not object to becoming a son-in-law. His family agreed since they received money.

After the marriage, the affection between the two was quite good. Qin Xinyue was gradually moved by Lu Cong’s tenderness and was almost truly in love with him.

Qin Xinyue had the ability to be groomed as a successor; she was not driven solely by romantic feelings, so reason still prevailed over love.

Looking at the nose snuff bottle on the table, she harbored some suspicions, making her feel very uncomfortable.

Ten minutes later, the old master indeed opened his eyes.

His body was weak, and his spirit was not well. Although he was unconscious, he still retained clarity and was not completely unaware of the external affairs.

Seeing her grandfather wake up, Qin Xinyue was overwhelmed with excitement, and her eyes reddened instantaneously.

She wanted to shout out but was silenced by a hushing gesture from Luo Ning.

The old master’s consciousness gradually returned, and he looked at his granddaughter and the unfamiliar young girl with confusion.

Qin Xinyue then took Luo Ning’s paper and pen and wrote down what had occurred for her grandfather to read.

The somewhat murky eyes of the old master revealed a hint of sharpness; having stood in a high position for so long, there were few plots and deceptions he hadn’t encountered.

Now there was not much that he didn’t understand. If he died, and his granddaughter encountered any problems, the only one who could take over his power would be his son-in-law.

He really misjudged the situation.

There was no need for Luo Ning to intervene in what followed. With the old master awake and Qin Xinyue aware of the true nature of the man beside her, they would naturally handle their family affairs.

Luo Ning wrote a prescription for Qin Xinyue, advising her to start administering the medicine to the old master from the next day onward. This medicine would strengthen the foundation and boost the Qi, perfectly replenishing the old master’s physical deficiencies.

Qin Xinyue nodded and wrote a message of thanks, even directly transferring one million as compensation to Luo Ning.

If Luo Ning had any issues, even if the payment was transferred ahead of time, Qin Xinyue wasn’t afraid of her running away.

Although this wasn’t their territory, it wouldn’t be hard to catch a swindler with the influence of the Qin Family.

After exchanging contact information, Luo Ning took her leave.

With this sum of money, Luo Ning stopped setting up her stall on the overpass and directly rented a small farmyard in the suburbs. It was affordably priced and convenient for carrying out her tasks.

She then began to order various items online that would be useful in an apocalypse, such as solar panels, water pumps, generators, and daily necessities.

As for food supplies, Luo Ning planned to take a trip to the wholesale market to place orders and have them delivered to the farmyard, as it would be even more cost-effective that way.

In the following days, Luo Ning rented a pickup truck and drove herself to remote villages to buy poultry, vegetables, and eggs.

Purchasing these items herself was cheaper and the quality was better.
