Chapter 68: Chapter 65: The Unusual Jiyin Land

Not long after, several major incidents occurred in the Ruan Family.

The Sang Family discovered that Ruan Xing had almost killed Xiao Yu, and they called the police and did everything possible to send Ruan Xing to a juvenile correctional facility, while Xiao Yu was taken back by Mrs. Sang to be raised personally.

Lu Zhiheng exposed the evil deeds that Ruan Xian had committed, using his family’s influence to put Ruan Xian in prison.

He even bribed the prison inmates to treat Ruan Xian "well," making his life in prison a living hell.

Sang Xi finally felt relieved, and the resentful energy in her gradually dissipated.

Before leaving, she went specifically to find Qin Zhao and kowtowed heavily to him.

"I am fortunate to have met you in this life."

"I just stayed true to my heart and did what I was supposed to do."

Qin Zhao helped her up, "There’s no need for such formalities."

Sang Xi smiled, her eyes seemingly filled with tears, "Life in the human world is truly harsh, but there’s still hope. If possible, I’d really like to watch him grow up."

She was talking about her newborn child.

He was so tiny, and his mother had left him behind.

When she saw Ruan Xing start to harm the child, Sang Xi regretted several times not being stronger. If she had survived, she could have protected her child.

But what was her fault?

The people she should hate the most were not herself, but those who had harmed her.

Qin Zhao told her, "You’ll have a chance in your next life."

You will have a child of your own and watch him grow up slowly.

Sang Xi nodded; she knew she should no longer linger in the human world and it was time for her to leave.

"Who are you talking to?"

Chu Yan’s voice came from the room.

Qin Zhao entered from the balcony and explained to him, "I was chatting with a ghost."

If it were someone else saying this, Chu Yan would think they were joking.

But when Qin Zhao said it, he believed her, especially since last time, she had dealt with a female ghost in his hospital.

The first time he saw the female ghost, Chu Yan was also shocked.

However, he wasn’t afraid of such spirits, just surprised that his wife could catch ghosts.

"Dinner is ready."

"Oh."

Lately, their interaction had been particularly harmonious, and Qin Zhao hadn’t brought up divorce again.

Qin Zhao ate quickly, as usual, and also because the food was really delicious.

Near the end of the meal, she noticed that Chu Yan had hardly touched his food, seeming somewhat distracted.

"Why would ghosts linger in this world?"

Chu Yan put down his chopsticks and looked at her with a complex expression.

"It’s because of their attachments, not wanting to reincarnate. If it’s a wrongful death, hatred can turn them into evil ghosts, causing them to harm people.

Once ghosts start killing, they can’t control their thirst for blood."

"Is it attachments like missing or worrying about someone that can make ghosts stay in this world?"

"That too." Qin Zhao asked him curiously, "What’s wrong? Did you encounter a ghost?"

It shouldn’t be; this guy’s Fate Diagram is special, the evil energy in him would only scare ghosts away, no ghost would dare tangle with him.

Chu Yan shook his head, "No, I was just thinking about my mother. Before she passed away, she was always worried about whether I could live well on my own. Hopefully, she has reincarnated by now."

Qin Zhao knew very little about Chu Yan’s life in this lifetime.

He had no parents, and when they registered for marriage, his family register only had his name.

"How did your mother die?"

"His health isn’t good."

"And your father?"

Chu Yan didn’t answer; indifferent coolness mingled with his handsome demeanour.

"Have you eaten? I’ll wash the dishes."

He clearly didn’t want to talk about it anymore, so Qin Zhao dropped the subject.

While Chu Yan was cleaning up the kitchen, a call came in.

"Mr. Chu, Lu Zhiheng has been admitted to the hospital."

"What happened?"

"He was injured by the second young master of the Ruan Family. I’m not sure about the specifics."

The speaker paused for a while, their tone hesitant.

"Just say it."

"That day, Mrs. Lu was visiting the Ruan Family, supposedly to meet Ruan Xian."

Why would Qin Zhao meet with Ruan Xian? Thinking about the rumors surrounding Ruan Xian, Chu Yan furrowed his brows.

If it were someone else, he might have been cautious, but Ruan Xian was a cripple.

Lately, the Ruan Family had been facing numerous troubles; the Sang Family sued them multiple times, claiming that the newly wedded chief lady, Sang Xi, had died wrongfully, requesting police investigation.

Were all these events involving the Ruan Family related to Qin Zhao?

After contemplating for a while, Chu Yan asked, "How badly is Lu Zhiheng injured?"

"The scissors stabbed into his thigh, severing a crucial tendon; he’s expected to need significant recovery time."

Chu Yan subdued his gaze, pondering whether to visit this older brother of his from the Lu Family.

After all, Lu Zhiheng was his big brother, wasn’t he?

Chu Yan hung up the phone, a sneering smile curling at the edges of his lips.

Lu Zhiheng and Chu Yan were only three months apart in age. When Mrs. Lu was pregnant with Lu Zhiheng, Lu Tingming had returned from Imperial City, wanting to divorce Chu Yan’s mother.

Perhaps Lu Tingming still had some conscience, considering his mother’s long years of sacrifice, so he didn’t announce the separation to her face. Moreover, their marriage wasn’t official, and no formalities were required in the city’s offices.

He silently returned to Imperial City, and later Chu Yan’s mother got pregnant and could never reach Lu Tingming.

Chu Yan’s mother was an uneducated country woman, yet beautiful.

Possibly for this reason, Lu Tingming was attracted to her.

Chu Yan always thought his mother was especially easy to deceive—a simpleton who supported Lu Tingming through high school and college until he found a girlfriend from a wealthy family in Imperial City and kicked her to the curb.

After cleaning the kitchen, Chu Yan entered the living room and heard Qin Zhao on the phone,

"That piece of land from the Ruan Family might conceal something beneath; it doesn’t seem like a naturally weak spot. If they insist on developing it, let me know, and I’ll check it out.

But don’t you get involved, it doesn’t seem like a good thing, whoever gets involved could end up in trouble."

Qin Zhao had been curious about that site ever since she inspected it, intrigued by the energy seeping out from its crevices, which even made her wary.

Having traveled to the modern era, she hadn’t encountered such a situation before, and thus called Qin Yu.

If someone was adamant about tampering with the site, she’d just buy some sunflower seeds and sit on a small stool to spectate.

"Are you talking about that wasteland on Ancient Jade Road?"

Chu Yan stepped forward and inquired.

"Yeah, do you know about that place?"

Qin Zhao turned around, looking at him with surprise.

"I’ve heard a little, the government seems to have plans for that area."

Qin Zhao hung up with Qin Yu, reflecting aloud, "It’s a land full of negative energy, usually found in deep forests.

Given the situation on the west side of the city, I believe there’s definitely something ominous beneath. But I wouldn’t dare to dig down; let the old man from the Qin Family do it."

Chu Yan listened to her words, a thoughtful flicker crossing his eyes.
