o to see him, wouldn’t that be disrespectful to Vice President Chen's praise!" Xiao Yu stood up and calmly said.“Huhu…”Hearing what Xiao Yu had said, everyone couldn’t help but smile in agreement. In...Chapter 61: There's a Ghost in the Bathroom

"Haha, I've never seen such an idiot! He actually considers a piece of glass a treasure!"

Chen Ying found it unbearable to see this outstanding fool showing off with what was nothing but a piece of glass.

"General Manager Chen"

"It turns out to be General Manager Chen from the Ancient City Hetian Jade Shop. It must be true then!"

The moment Chen Ying spoke, people immediately recognized him and said.

"General Manager Chen has such sharp eyes! Just a glance is enough for you to tell; unlike this old man who needs to examine it closely. I'm truly impressed."

Guo Quanming, the boss of Guo’s Antique Shop, clasped his fists and said with admiration towards Chen Ying.

Hearing what Guo Quanming and Chen Ying had said, people looked at each other in disbelief before turning to look at Xiao Yu. They couldn’t help but show a trace of respect.

People recalled how earlier when Xiao Yu stated that Jia Yaocai’s jade was just glass, it seemed he knew beforehand that the jade was fake. Despite knowing this, he didn’t retaliate against Jia Yaocai’s provocation. This showed his character; even Zhang Dapeng and Lu Guozhang who had always looked down upon the Xiao family now admired him.

"You're wrong! When I bought it, they told me that it was an excellent jade of sheep fat quality. Look at its luster and texture. Oh…...I see, you’re jealous of my jade so you say such things, right"

Everyone in the hall fell silent upon seeing this narcissistic fool.

"If you don't believe us, go find the person who sold you the jade and see if you can even locate them anymore," Gu Quanming pitifully glanced at Jia Yaocai and said.

Hearing this, Jia Yaocai thought it made sense. He picked up his phone and dialed a number. After a moment, he muttered to himself, "Isn't there no service" Frustration starting to set in as everyone in the hall was looking at him, he said, "There's no signal here. I'll go somewhere else."

With that, he walked out of the crowd while dialing, but seeing people all around staring at him made him feel embarrassed. He continued walking towards a deeper part of the hall, only to find everyone’s eyes following his every move. Eventually, in frustration, Jia Yaocai went into the restroom where there was no one else. He locked himself inside and then called.

Jia Yaocai kept dialing but each time he got a message saying that the phone was out of service area. He didn’t know how many times he had dialed, until finally, "The number you have dialed is no longer in service" sounded from his phone. Hearing this, Jia Yaocai suddenly felt faint and dropped his phone on the bathroom floor.

The sound of the phone hitting the ground snapped him back to reality. He bent down to pick up his phone but as he did so, he noticed that the water in the toilet slowly turned blood red, and a hand was slowly emerging from the drain, stretching towards his feet.

Over these years following the Lu family, Jia Yaocai had been living smoothly. Seeing this scene which only appeared in horror movies suddenly, his heart sank. He cried out fearfully, "Ah... Ghost!"

The hand seemed to be about to grab him and Jia Yaocai was terrified; he ran to the restroom door and pulled it open before rushing out.

When people saw Jia Yaocai enter the restroom to make a phone call, they were all watching the restroom waiting for confirmation from him. Suddenly, an extremely tragic scream came from inside the bathroom. Some nearby people rushed towards the bathroom while others walked closer.

Suddenly, the bathroom door opened and Jia Yaocai burst out in terror: "Ghost! There's a ghost in the toilet!"

A few brave individuals entered the restroom to look around but found it spotless with nothing amiss. They came out and asked Jia Yaocai, "Where’s the ghost"

"It’s really there! A bloody hand emerged from that drain over there," Jia Yaocai pointed fearfully at the toilet drain.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw the bloody hand coming out of the drain, grabbing his left hand and wrapping around his arm: "Ah..." Jia Yaocai let out a scream.

"I'll smash you to death!" Looking at the bloody hand entangled around his arm, Jia Youcai somehow found some courage and grabbed the bloody hand on his arm, slamming it hard onto the ground. The bloody hand shattered instantly upon impact.

"Hahaha..."

Seeing the bloody hand shattered on the ground, Jia Youcai burst into a joyful laughter, as if he was a victorious general returning from battle. He continued to taunt loudly: "A mere little ghost wants to scare me Come on! Try it again!"

No one at the gathering had expected to witness such an entertaining performance while attending Little Master Long's birthday celebration. And it seemed that the day’s highlights were yet to end.

Right after Jia Youcai emerged from the restroom, yelling about encountering a ghost, he loudly proclaimed: "I'll smash you to death!" and smashed the so-called top-grade jade pendant worth millions of dollars on the ground. The pendant shattered into pieces instantly upon impact.

Jia Youcai then burst out in another wave of triumphant laughter at seeing the broken pendant.

Xiao Yu was stunned by Jia Youcai’s behavior, wondering if it was caused by being possessed by煞氣 (malevolent energy/spirits). But shouldn’t the符 (symbolic talisman) he made to weaken the煞氣 only work during nights when煞氣 is more concentrated How could this be happening now...

Upon activating his Yin-Yang Vision, Xiao Yu realized that Jia Youcai’s body was already barely carrying any煞氣. Meanwhile, there were still lingering煞氣 in the restroom. He suddenly understood: It must have been the restroom filled with concentrated陰煞之氣 (malevolent energy/spirits), and due to a momentary lapse of mental focus from Jia Youcai, that made聚煞符 (a talisman used to gather煞氣) gather all the煞氣 in the restroom around him. This caused him to be possessed by the煞氣.

Although the effect of Xiao Yu’s skin talisman had weakened, he estimated that it could still hold up for three more days at least. Let this Jia Youcai enjoy the feast prepared for him.

"Slap..."

Jia Youcai's mother couldn't bear seeing her son smashing a jade pendant worth millions on the ground, and walked over to slap him hard.

“Who dared to hit me Who”

Filled with joy and satisfaction from smashing the bloody hand into pieces, he was suddenly slapped in the face. He immediately roared in anger.

When he turned to see that it was his mother who had slapped him, he said sullenly, “Mom, why did you hit me”

"You good-for-nothing scoundrel! How could you just smash something worth millions like this!" Upon hearing Jia Youcai's question about why she hit him, his mother shouted angrily.

"Mom, what are you talking about millions for I smashed the bloody hand... !" Hearing her shout, Jia Youcai pointed at the bloody hand on the ground with a sullen expression and explained.

"Ah...... My jade pendant!" There was no bloody hand on the ground; there was only a shattered jade trinket. Jia Youcai immediately let out a heart-wrenching scream and collapsed to the ground.

Sitting on the ground, Jia Youcai looked at the scattered pieces of jade with a pained expression, picking up the broken jade bit by bit.

"Ah..."

While sitting on the ground picking up the fragments of jade, Jia Youcai suddenly got his hand cut by one of the shards. He let out a cry and blood began to flow down from his fingers.

The people standing nearby immediately frowned when they saw that Jia Youcai's hand had been cut by the shard. They picked up some shattered jade pieces, placed them on their fingertips, and pressed them with their thumbs, then looked at those around them in a strange manner, saying, "It really is glass; no wonder it could cut his fingers!"

Hearing this person's words, Jia Youcai hurriedly picked up a piece of jade and placed it on his finger for a gentle rub. He immediately wore an expression of disbelief and rubbed the jade harder in his hand as if to confirm it again. He then sat dejectedly on the ground with a look of despair in his eyes.

"Youcai, Youcai, what's wrong" Seeing that Jia Youcai had no spirit left in his eyes, his mother asked worriedly.

Suddenly, Jia Youcai didn't know if he was startled by his mother’s words or something else. He quickly got up and hurried to Lu Guozhang with a sorrowful look on his face, saying, "Uncle-in-law, I'm sorry, help me! If you don't help me, I really will go bankrupt! It wasn’t me... it was my mom..."ity, Xiao Hongyang was considered an emerging leader among the younger generation with great promise, making it difficult for him to address such a youthful figure as his senior."No... no...
