water upon hearing Xiao Yu's words. Her mood plummeted as she looked at him and said.She didn't know why either; in her lifetime, she had never heard of anything about celestial masters or the like....Chapter 135: Hope (Third Update of the Day, Voting for Monthly Ticket)
Xiao Yu was aware that what he planned to do might seem like taking advantage of someone in dire straits, but this could be the best way out for Jin Xianglin. Moreover, if Xiao Yu could get rid of the ghosts inside, these several villas here would become highly sought-after properties again. Thus, not only would Xiao Yu get a bargain on real estate, but Jin Xianglin wouldn't go bankrupt and might even profit from it.
Jin Xianglin didn't notice Xiao Yu's expression; if he had noticed, he probably wouldn't have cared anyway as he was too overwhelmed by regret at the moment.
Although Wan Cheng International had made tremendous progress under his management, this company also carried the lifelong efforts of his father. The thought of the company being destroyed because of him left him feeling incredibly guilty towards his deceased father.
Jin Xianglin suddenly froze when he thought about his late father, remembering their pact. Wasn't he encountering an insurmountable obstacle right now
But... Jin Xianglin looked at Xiao Yu before him with a deep sense of bewilderment. How could Xiao Yu, who seemed to be from some influential family, possibly have any solutions
However, he recalled that his father had rarely made wrong decisions in life and was convinced that there must have been valid reasons for saying Xiao Yu would become his benefactor.
In addition, Jin Xianglin thought about the miraculous methods Xiao Yu used to treat his daughter's condition. Even Master Zhang and Grandmaster Li couldn't do anything. But didn't his daughter see many top experts Didn't even these two fail in their attempts and eventually have their problems solved by this young man
The more Jin Xianglin thought about it, the more he believed it was possible. A sense of excitement started to build up inside him.
At this point, Jin Xianglin's composure had already been shattered when Master Zhang mentioned that their formation couldn't stop the ghost in the villa. He no longer maintained his usual calm demeanor. Thus, as he became excited, the dejected look on his face vanished, replaced by a radiant expression.
Master Zhang and Li Shiqing were taken aback seeing Jin Xianglin's excited expression. What was happening Did he lose his mind due to this setback
Though they didn't have business experience themselves, they knew that moving out all the people in the villa community would require a huge cost. If they managed to eliminate the evil ghosts inside, Jin Xianglin might still turn things around, but if they failed...
Although the probability of failure was low since no matter how powerful the ghosts were, they wouldn't escape their encirclement, even so, this villa community would likely never be lived in again. The losses caused by such an outcome could only be borne by Jin Xianglin himself.
However, regardless of the outcome, this villa community will surely be destroyed. Given China's way of handling things, you should feel lucky if you don't get blamed! Don’t expect any compensation from the state.
"Mr. Jin, are you alright" Zhang Tian Shi looked at Jin Xianglin, who was excited, and試探性地問道。"Are you okay"
"Huh Oh... I'm fine!" Upon hearing Zhang Tian Shi's question, Jin Xianglin snapped out of his excitement and tried to hide the smile on his face. However, no matter how hard he tried, a slight smile still lingered at the corners of his mouth.
Considering Jin Xianglin’s years of experience in business and his level-headedness, it was unusual for him to be so unrestrained. But then again, it's not strange for someone who has seen hope after being in despair to show such an expression.
Seeing Jin Xianglin’s demeanor, not only did Zhang Tian Shi find it odd but even Xiao Yu and Li Shiqing were puzzled.
'Has Mr. Jin gone mad with joy Who would be so happy knowing they're about to lose billions of dollars If someone takes advantage of the situation, his company might go bankrupt!' Upon seeing Jin Xianglin's smile, Xiao Yu couldn't help but think this.
Gradually, Jin Xianglin wiped off his smile and put on a pitiful look towards Xiao Yu: "Doctor Xiao, please, out of respect for my father’s sake, no matter what you must give me a hand. My father said that you are a benefactor to me!"
Upon seeing Jin Xianglin's expression, Zhang Tian Shi and Li Shiqing were taken aback and stared back and forth between Xiao Yu and Jin Xianglin, wondering how this situation had anything to do with his father
Jin Xianglin’s father was acquainted with Li Shiqing in the past. Therefore, when the villa ghost incident occurred, Jin Xianglin found Li Shiqing who immediately came along with his friend Zhang Tian Shi without hesitation.
Xiao Yu felt bewildered by Jin Xianglin's behavior. What happened When he met his father, his father was already a ghost and couldn't give him any information!
"Mr. Jin, did your father really pass on a message" Xiao Yu asked about the confusion in his heart.
"Yes! He said you are my benefactor and that when I encounter difficulties, I can come to you for help!" Jin Xianglin looked pitifully as he spoke.
Xiao Yu stared straight at Jin Xianglin. Jin Xianglin showed no fear under Xiao Yu’s scrutiny and calmly met his gaze. Xiao Yu was a man of integrity; if Jin Xianglin were lying, he wouldn't dare to look directly into Xiao Yu's eyes. But now that Jin Xianglin was looking squarely back at him, it made Xiao Yu even more puzzled: 'Did the old ghost really pass on a message It’s impossible! After I told him about you, I sent him to the netherworld.'
"Mr. Jin, then when did your father pass on the message to you" Since Jin Xianglin didn't lie, it proved that Old Ghost really passed a message to him. But how and when it happened puzzled Xiao Yu.
"Haha, many years ago, when I just graduated from university!" Jin Xianglin chuckled lightly with a nostalgic expression, slowly saying.
Upon hearing this was what Jin Xianglin said, Xiao Yu could only be speechless. When you were in college, I wasn't even born yet!
"Hahaha..." Zhang Taoist and Li Shi Qing had been listening intently but couldn't help laughing loudly when they heard Jin Xianglin's words.
"Umm... Mr. Jin, it seems that when you were in college, I hadn't even been born yet! How could your esteemed father tell me that I am your benefactor"
Looking at Zhang Taoist and Li Shi Qing laughing heartily, Xiao Yu wiped the non-existent sweat off his head with his sleeve. He asked Jin Xianglin carefully. In his view, Jin Xianglin must have been driven mad by being haunted.
"Mr. Jin, can I take your pulse" Xiao Yu said cautiously as he looked at the man in front of him. Generally, people who lost their mind would say they weren't ill and were rather reluctant to see a doctor.
"Sure! It's what I've been hoping for since old Jin was born—having such a godly physician like Doctor Xiao take my pulse!" With that said, Jin Xianglin extended his hand out.
Xiao Yu looked at Jin Xianglin in puzzlement. Judging from his appearance and clear speech, he didn't seem to be mentally ill! Xiao Yu looked bewildered as he held onto Jin Xianglin's wrist to take his pulse.
The more Xiao Yu took the pulse, the more puzzled he became, muttering to himself: "Something isn’t right! How could this happen"
Seeing that look on Xiao Yu’s face, Jin Xianglin thought he must be seriously ill and couldn't help but say with a pitiful expression: "Doctor Xiao, am I suffering from some serious illness Is there any hope for me" Seeing that Xiao Yu continued to take his pulse without responding to him, Jin Xianglin was sure he must have been seriously ill. Therefore, his expression became even more anxious as he pleaded with Xiao Yu again and again: "Doctor Xiao, Doctor Xiao, you are a godly physician! You have to save me!"
Xiao Yu remained silent but only frowned and muttered.
"Xiao Yu, what illness has little Jin got" Both Zhang Taoist and Li Shi Qing had seen Xiao Yu's medical skills before. In one word, it was amazing. Now seeing the bewildered look on Xiao Yu’s face, they couldn't help asking him.
"Oh... oh, Mr. Jin is not sick at all!" Xiao Yu found out through his pulse diagnosis that Jin Xianglin's body was still healthy and there was no blockage in the meridians of his head.
"He’s not sick! What are you mumbling about" Li Shi Qing looked at Xiao Yu with a puzzled expression.
Jin Xianglin also looked at Xiao Yu with puzzlement. He had been genuinely frightened just now; if there's nothing wrong, why is he frowning and muttering to himself
"That’s right! It would be strange if Mr. Jin wasn’t sick! Saying nonsense when there’s no illness at all—how bizarre!" Xiao Yu said with an innocent expression.
“Haha…”
Hearing Xiao Yu's words and seeing his serious demeanor, Li Shi Qing and Master Zhang burst into laughter again.
"Old Zhang, this kid is quite mischievous! …… I have no money."
Li Shi Qing pointed at Xiao Yu, addressing laughing Master Zhang. He mimicked Xiao Yu's tone to say the last phrase.
Hearing Li Shi Qing mimic that sentence, Master Zhang immediately stopped his laughter and looked at Xiao Yu with a gloomy expression. If it wasn't for Li Shi Qing reminding him, he had already forgotten about this matter long ago.
Jin Xianglin was even more upset; when he spoke the truth, others took it as evidence of mental illness. He felt compelled to emphasize again: "I really told you this when I graduated from university. Why don't you believe me"
"Alright, alright! I believe you. Then tell me how your father could have told you that I would be your benefactor before I was even born"
Hearing Jin Xianglin reiterate this and realizing he wasn’t mentally ill, there must be a reason behind it. Could his father possess the ability to predict the future Or perhaps, was his father part of the divination lineage in the realm of Qimen divination arts Xiao Yu knew some basics about fortune-telling, though he wouldn't claim mastery; still, he could usually make accurate predictions on trivial matters through divination. So, he understood its wonders and, from Zhong Kui's memories, also learned that predicting the future was not impossible with a price.
Jin Xianglin wore a nostalgic look as he said to Xiao Yu, "Doctor Xiao, do you still remember the words my father asked you to convey"ty. Yun Xi and Lu Jianhong had already used up their days off and needed to return to work as well.Xiao Jianying and Old Ye saw that there wasn’t much left to do here and that Old Ye’s purpose of test...
