Chapter 88 - 85: The Peculiar Collapse of the Pile Driver, Not Human Work!

Chapter 88: Chapter 85: The Peculiar Collapse of the Pile Driver, Not Human Work!

The next day, Chu Yan made a special trip to the Lu Family.

Upon entering, he saw Lu Tingming with a swollen cheek, as a servant was applying ice to his face.

Chu Yan asked with "concern," "Uncle, what happened to you?"

Lu Tingming’s complexion was extremely unsightly, and he did not answer his question.

Instead, he said to the servant, "I asked you to contact Master Zheng, have you reached him yet? When is he coming over?"

"I haven’t been able to contact him yet, the phone call indicated that his number is not in service."

These powerful Feng Shui masters are sometimes elusive as spirits.

It’s not like they can be contacted immediately whenever wanted.

"Useless trash!"

Lu Tingming pushed the servant away and scolded, "Hurry up and contact him, if you can’t get through by tonight, don’t bother working here anymore!"

Thinking about last night’s incident made him uncontrollably angry, and his cheek throbbed with pain.

"Yes, I’ll go right away!"

The servant responded cautiously and quickly turned to leave.

Seeing Xu Biqing coming down the stairs, Chu Yan said to Lu Tingming, "The matter with the pharmaceutical company, I’ve had it suppressed, minimizing the impact.

If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now."

Lu Tingming was utterly uninterested in dealing with Chu Yan, his mind preoccupied with the evil ghost from yesterday.

Born in a remote area, he had now gained the capacity to participate in elections, aspiring to become one of the most prestigious people in the country. Climbing to this position had taken a great deal of cunning.

Naturally, there were many secrets along the way that couldn’t be revealed.

Therefore, when the Lu Family mansion was built, they had hired a very powerful Feng Shui master.

Not only did he set up an excellent Feng Shui Bureau, but he also placed objects to protect him.

Lu Tingming also frequently visited temples to pray and donated large sums every year, which not only earned him a good reputation but also purchased peace of mind.

"What happened to you yesterday? Did you run into something unclean?"

Xu Biqing walked over and handed him a peace charm.

"This is from the temple, I asked for it last time. You should wear it."

Lu Tingming took it and carefully placed it in his jacket pocket.

He couldn’t help rubbing his temples, "I definitely encountered something unclean; I couldn’t have been mistaken. We had a Feng Shui master set up protections for this place, why would that kind of thing still appear?"

Xu Biqing stared at the palm prints on his face, her expression a bit odd.

"I’m not sure either, we should have the master come over again and take a look."

After speaking, she couldn’t resist asking again, "That thing just slapped you twice?"

"Yes, what else do you want? For it to eat me?"

"Of course that’s not what I mean. As long as you don’t have other problems, it’s fine. We are offering prayers to the Buddha on the top floor, would you like to go up and worship?"

Lu Tingming stood up, preparing to go to the top floor to worship Buddha.

With an injury on his face, he couldn’t go out and attend meetings looking like this, for fear of drawing criticism.

Lu Tingming’s brows remained furrowed, a little worried that the ghost might come again tonight.

Meanwhile, Chu Yan left the Lu Family.

When he got into his car, a smile curled up at the corner of his lips.

To avenge his mother, he had willingly entered the Lu Family’s domain, endured humiliation for many years, but it was the first time he saw Lu Tingming so frustrated yet unable to vent his annoyance.

The feeling of being protected was really nice.

Qin Zhao was at home researching alchemy and had failed again.

She had spent several million on pill furnaces from the antique shop, and not one of them was usable!

"Too inferior, I must forge a pill furnace for myself."

Chu Yan stared at the shattered fragments on the ground, her head ached.

The Pill Furnaces she bought from the antique shop were, after all, ordinary ones and simply couldn’t withstand her Spiritual Power.

But in this world, rare cultivators were even scarcer than giant pandas.

Where could she find a Pill Furnace suitable for alchemy?

She would have to forge one herself.

In the midst of her troubles, Chu Yan received a phone call from Qin Yu.

"There’s been an incident on the west side of the city."

He just said this one sentence, which immediately piqued Chu Yan’s interest.

"What happened?"

"After landing the train station project, the Ruan Family started construction in collaboration with your dad. The construction site had just started a few days ago, and this morning the pile driver collapsed, crushing two workers.

Nearby cameras captured the collapse, and someone posted the surveillance video online. Now the incident has gone viral and exploded across social media."

"Why would a perfectly good pile driver collapse?"

"The relevant departments sent people to investigate. This project was under Lu Tingming, and your dad was hoping to use this opportunity to ingratiate himself with Lu Tingming despite my advice. Now with netizens calling for Lu Tingming’s accountability, his support rate is plummeting."

Qin Yu sneered sarcastically, "I told them the Feng Shui of that place was bad, but they wouldn’t believe it."

"What will happen to the Qin Family?"

"Even if they can’t find the cause, the Qin Family can’t escape responsibility. Plus, it’s a critical time for the elections, and the public needs an explanation. Lu Tingming can’t be the one to give it, can he?

So it must be one or both of the Ruan and Qin Families that take the blame, maybe both will be punished."

Chu Yan didn’t stop Qin Yu from warning Qin Siyu last time, but he still charged ahead. What could be done?

It was like when someone is determined to die, even nine bulls couldn’t pull them back.

Chu Yan suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Since she couldn’t practice alchemy for now, Chu Yan decided to go check out the west side of the city.

She had just seen the video online, and after the construction began, the excavators had removed part of the earth’s surface, it was uncertain if they had disturbed something underneath.

Chu Yan knew there was an issue below, but she didn’t know what it was.

She was a bit curious, so she wanted to take a look.

Taking a taxi to the west side of the city, she found that the construction site had been cordoned off with police tape.

The police were there, and outsiders couldn’t enter just like that.

From a distance, Chu Yan spotted Huo Xun and called him.

"I was just trying to find you."

Huo Xun walked over wearing the type of safety helmet one wears on construction sites.

"This is a bit strange, it doesn’t seem like a normal accident."

"I know, I’ve assessed the Feng Shui here before."

Hearing Chu Yan’s words, Huo Xun’s expression froze.

"What do you mean?"

"The boss of the construction firm’s surname is Qin, what do you think? Qin Siyu had wanted to pull my uncle into this project, and my uncle asked me to check the Feng Shui.

I told them not to go ahead with it, but Qin Siyu wouldn’t listen, so here we are with an accident."

Huo Xun hadn’t expected the construction contractor to have a connection with Chu Yan, which made explaining things more convenient.

He led Chu Yan into the construction site, pointing to the broken section of the pile driver, "This looks as if it was cut by a saw, the cut is very smooth. But if the pile driver was upright, this point would be twenty meters up in the air, and if it was intentional, someone would need to climb to that position.

The surface of the pile driver is very smooth and is not climbable without tools. Using tools would definitely leave marks. But on the pile driver, there are no traces of anyone climbing."

Huo Xun pointed to another spot where the camera was located.

"The surveillance was always on here, and if someone climbed up and used a saw, let’s not even talk about the noise it would cause, but the camera would definitely capture it."

"So the surveillance didn’t capture anything?"

"Right, it just suddenly came crashing down."

"It might not have been done by a person."

Chu Yan smiled, but she was not kidding.
