gh Taoism writes a person's name on a talisman, attaches it to a straw man, and buries the victim's hair, skin, or nails inside the straw man. Then, they hang lamps above and below the straw man's hea...So what if he's male Almost all the clients I deal with are men.

"Yeah, it was a man named Lin Yanhuan... That's a strange name, he asked our family to investigate things about ghost cultivators."

After I honestly explained everything, Jiang Qiyun's face darkened. Finally, he said in a low voice, "Give this phone back to him. Don't keep it."

I was stunned for a moment, did he get angry that I took this phone

“I didn’t want this phone, but he said other numbers calling him would be intercepted, so I reluctantly took it. I’ll give it back to him after he finishes this.” I scoffed, “I have a phone already, who cares about another one…”

Jiang Qiyun's expression softened a bit, he gave me a few words of advice to be careful, and that was the end of it.

After sleeping together for two or three months, I roughly figured out Jiang Qiyun's routine. Based on his responsibilities, the Underworld had many things for him to handle every day, so he rarely appeared during the day. However, he would definitely come at night.

So every morning when I open my eyes, I can't see him.

》》》

Before heading to the Lins', I specifically reminded my brother to dress formally. That Lin Yanhuan looked like a nobleman, who knows how intimidating his background might be My brother's casual wear might scare away the five million!

My older brother is used to being casual, he'd rather wear slippers and shorts when going out. After I said this, he took out his expensive suit and put it on.

"What the heck... you dressed like you're going for a job interview!" My brother unbuttoned his shirt, looking all cool and casual.

"Isn't it just about finding a job, five million" For this five million, it's not shameful to bend over.

My brother was tidying up the props while saying to me, "Xiao Qiao, should you learn to drive Go talk to Officer Lu and get in touch with the traffic police department. Find a familiar driving school for you to receive quick training."

"Well, whatever. Actually, I can drive... just don't have a license."

My brother rolled his eyes. I once helped him park his car, and I just drove it straight in, but I ended up smashing the taillight. He hasn't let me touch his car since.

Over the past two days, we've also learned some things about the Lin family from Yincha Dabo. Big Treasure found out from the underworld that the Lin family is a privileged family, so privileged that even the underworld doesn't dare to count their karmic debts.

"Why do these privileged families exist" I wondered, "Don't we all end up the same when we die Money and power don't go with you."

"Of course! There are very few such privileged families..." Dabao whispered, "He has the bloodline of a founding hero, and there are still people in his family in Zhongnanhai and the army. His family is filled with both imperial air and murderous aura!"

Hmph, as expected, the privileged class has privileges no matter where they are.

It is said that when Emperor Taizong of Tang went to the underworld, the judge gave him an extra twenty years of life and sent him back. The privileges of the upper class are indeed good, no wonder people sharpen their heads and climb up.

The Lin family and the Hou family were completely different concepts. The Hou family was a business family, with the patriarch being a nouveau riche. His children and grandchildren continued to build on his success, and their only boast was their wealth.

And the Lin family's bloodline, no amount of money can buy it. This is a natural nobleman, no matter what the people in this family do, as long as they are still in this world, they can enjoy special treatment everywhere.

Such a family can only be described as illustrious. Lin Yanhuan himself admitted that he didn't understand how to interact with people or speak eloquently, because from childhood to adulthood, he was always held up by others And they wouldn't dare scheme against his family.

Look at his assistant, she's like a nagging old nanny.

Lin Yanhuan is in charge of the family's business branch. He is considered an "outsider" in our city, but no local dares to provoke him. Even seasoned veterans like Zhong Shu treat him with utmost respect, fearing the power he wields behind the scenes.

He gave us the address of a real estate property owned by the Lin family. It's a luxurious villa complex, and it's said that as soon as it was launched, it was snapped up by tycoons—all for the sake of pleasing Mr. Lin.

Generally, the occupancy rate in villas is relatively low, especially for high-end villas. This is because wealthy individuals don't lack housing; most buy them to keep mistresses, like Teacher Xiao Wang. These women reside here as pretty playthings until they are discarded and left with nothing.

But in this neighborhood, most of the residents are families. We saw quite a few elderly people taking walks on the way, and we didn't see any flashy young women showing off their cars or anything like that.

"It goes without saying, what's the Lin family's background Who would dare to put their entertainment venue under their noses Maybe if Lin Yanhuan gets upset, he could make a phone call to the紀委 (discipline inspection commission) or the tax bureau, and that'd be the end of them." My brother explained to me.

No wonder one by one, wealthy and powerful people come here to live in such a way that they enjoy their lives and spend happy time with their families.

The entire residential area is well-planned, with almost no unfavorable feng shui aspects. The Lin family's grand mansion is located in the best feng shui position, with a nearly perfect mountain facing direction.

Lin Yanhuan was waiting for us at the gate of the mansion. When our car entered the courtyard, not only did we have to get out and be checked, but our backpacks were also opened and inspected, and someone used an instrument to check the underside of the car!

My God, are they afraid we're carrying explosives

The car was driven away by the bodyguard, and an old butler led us to the front of the mansion.

Lin Yanhuan greeted my brother with a composed handshake, then turned to me with a slight nod. "I've been waiting for quite some time," she said politely to both of us. "This way, Miss Mu and Mr. Mu."

My brother said uncomfortably, "Mr. Lin, you can either call me by my name or call me Mu gege (older brother). Calling me Mr. feels awkward."

Lin Yanhuan remained composed, nodding and saying, "Fine, then I'll call you Mu gege. Please go ahead."

He led us into the manor, and my brother whispered to me, "Damn, he really is a poker face..."

I pinched him to tell him not to talk nonsense.

"Miss Mu, besides my study, you can enter every room and see if there's anything amiss," Lin Yan said in a deep voice.

I took out my compass, a little nervously leveling it. The feng shui here was impeccable; it must have been designed by an expert. I didn't dare speak out of turn.

"Mr. Lin, your neighborhood, your house, and even the interior decor are all very well done. Did you hire an expert" I asked nervously.

"These were all done by the people below. I don't understand them," he stated plainly.

"Oh…"

He seemed to see through my uneasiness, a faint smile playing on his lips: "Don't worry, Miss Mu, you can speak your mind freely—before meeting you, I never believed in things like yin and yang or ghosts and spirits. Therefore, no masters or experts would be of any use to me; I only listen to you."

This… this is so intimate, it puts me under pressure. definitely unique and uncommon, but the most important thing about talismanic paper is its effectiveness.Jiang Qiyun slightly frowned, flipping through the talismans, a hint of a smile playing at the...
