Chapter 203 - 203 203 The Purpose Will Never Be Simple

?Chapter 203: Chapter 203: The Purpose Will Never Be Simple Chapter 203: Chapter 203: The Purpose Will Never Be Simple After lunch the following day, President Zhu personally came to pick up Luo Ning and took her to the shopping mall his company was constructing.

As soon as she got out of the car, Luo Ning felt the gloom of an evil spirit enveloping the area near the mall.

However, since it hadn’t been very long, the presence of the evil spirit wasn’t too severe.

Thus, there hadn’t been any deaths at the mall, just reported hauntings.

President Zhu asked respectfully, “Master Luo, is there also a problem here?”

Ever since he had started wearing the talisman from Luo Ning, he felt much more comfortable, and his sleep last night was particularly sound.

The effect of the talisman was exceptionally good.

His trust in Luo Ning had also increased.

Luo Ning nodded, “There is indeed a bit of an issue; let’s go in and take a look.”

President Zhu made a gesture of invitation, “Please, Master Luo.”

With his company, Luo Ning walked around the place.

Then, she stopped at a spot in the middle and pointed at a pile of wood, “The problem lies with these pieces of wood.”

“These pieces of wood must have been grown in a place with heavy yin, and as time passed, they also became imbued with it.”

“So, having so many of them here, it has impacted the magnetic field of the mall, which could lead some people to see illusory things.”

President Zhu quickly understood.

As the boss, he naturally wouldn’t bother with such small matters, so he immediately asked his secretary to investigate.

It didn’t take long for the secretary to provide feedback.

It turned out that the timber was supplied by a company found by his cousin, intended for the construction of the mall.

The timing coincided with when he discovered the identity of that bastard.

It was a premeditated action by the other party.

He couldn’t help but sneer, “None of them are good folks; I’ve been good enough to them, yet they still think about harming me, ungrateful wretches.”

“Master Luo, how should we handle this wood?”

Luo Ning replied, “Just take it all to a wasteland or a dump and burn it; it’s not a big issue.”

“It hasn’t been used for such a long time, so they probably never intended to actually use it in the construction of the mall, just placed it here to intentionally create problems for a while, causing you endless headaches.”

She quickly surmised the reason.

That mother and son were intent on killing President Zhu to inherit his wealth, and they considered the mall as something already in their pocket.

So, they only wanted to cause some trouble for President Zhu to distract him with these public matters.

When President Zhu would eventually die, they planned to dispose of the wood and invite a Feng Shui Master to set up an “Array”, solving the problems with the mall and allowing its use to continue.

President Zhu, being a clever man, understood the situation immediately.

“They really thought this through,” he said, feeling the irony.

Then he ordered the wood to be taken away and burned.

Luo Ning had his secretary buy some items and return to set up a Feng Shui array that gathered spiritual energy for the mall.

After all, what a shopping mall needs most is an abundance of human activity.

With thriving human activity, the place itself would thrive.

President Zhu did everything as instructed and kept thanking Luo Ning.

Then he took the initiative to present a contract for the transfer of a mountain plot.

“This is for you to sign, Master Luo, and I will have it notarized.”

Luo Ning took it and looked it over, “President Zhu, I’ve already received your payment; there’s no need for the gratis transfer of this mountain property. You just tell me how much it was originally, and I will pay that amount.”

The contract stated a gratis transfer, meaning no money required.

President Zhu said with a smile, “I’ve said before, as long as Master Luo is willing to help, this mountain would be transferred to you as payment.”

“Master Luo, you’ve truly helped me tremendously; otherwise, I might have died without even knowing why.”

“So, the transfer of this mountain property is a token of my gratitude. Please don’t be polite with me, and definitely don’t refuse.”

For someone as powerful as a Feng Shui Master like Luo Ning, he definitely wanted to cultivate a good relationship.

That’s why he thought of a gratis transfer to win her favor.

Seeing that he was insistent, Luo Ning did not refuse, “Alright then, I won’t stand on ceremony.”

“Once the crops in the mountain are harvested, I’ll have some sent to you for a taste.” Vegetables and fruits grown with spiritual energy arrays are very good for the body.

She always disliked owing anyone favors, so she planned to use this to repay the debt, and it seemed President Zhu would still come out ahead.

After all, money can’t buy health.

President Zhu, hearing this, beamed with a smile, “That sounds wonderful!”

The gifts from Master Luo were bound to be of high quality.

Luo Ning turned to him and asked, “Do you need me to take a look at your home?”

Since he had been so cooperative, she felt more responsible.

President Zhu shook his head, “There’s no need for that, I’ve already moved out of my family home, and I won’t be stepping foot in there ever again.”

So if there were any unclean things, let that mother and son deal with it.

All the furniture and so on this time were personally chosen by him, and he had the secretary oversee their delivery.

This also avoided the possibility of others tampering with them.

Luo Ning nodded, “Alright, I see that the aura on your brow has returned to normal, and your luck and health will gradually recover.”

“If there is anything, get in touch with me.”

President Zhu responded with a smile, “Will do.”

After helping President Zhu with the Feng Shui, Luo Ning returned home. Before long, President Zhu’s secretary brought over the notarized contract for the mountain lease.

Checking the time, Luo Ning made a phone call to Lu Xun.

Lu Xun was in a meeting with the special department but stepped out for a few minutes seeing Luo Ning’s call.

Luo Ning inquired, “Are you busy?”

He replied, “Not busy, what’s up?”

Luo Ning extended an invitation, “I’d like to invite you and President Yu to dinner, if you’re available.”

Lu Xun thought, even if he wasn’t available, he would make time.

“No problem, just set the time and place.”

“Do you want to take the jade as well?”

Luo Ning replied with a laugh, “Yes, I’ve contracted a piece of mountain land and will need to use the jade to set up there.”

“That’s efficient. After dinner, we can go to Yu Zihang’s company to get the jade,” Lu Xun was happy to help.

Luo Ning nodded, “Sounds great!”

They chatted briefly and arranged to visit the private restaurant Lu Xun had previously taken her to.

Lu Xun called Yu Zihang and then finished the meeting in record time.

With some time still left before the agreed hour, he drove straight to Luo Ning’s apartment.

Arriving outside the apartment, he then called Luo Ning.

Having just changed clothes, Luo Ning wasn’t surprised by Lu Xun’s sudden offer to pick her up.

He was always very thoughtful.

Luo Ning stepped out of the apartment and saw Lu Xun, wearing a mask, standing by the car, opening the passenger door for her.

If Ji Xinghang were here, he would probably tease about Lu Xingji’s deep scheming ways.

Once in the car, they started chatting.

Lu Xun was the first to speak, “Shi Ji also has a twin brother, Shi Ju.”

“Our special department has some intelligence on them, and they will be under close surveillance from now on.”

He wouldn’t keep Shi Ji’s situation from Luo Ning, especially since the news had just reached him today.

Luo Ning realized the special department was quite efficient; Shi Ji had hardly been back in the country when they were already under watch.

“I know they are twins. If there is any significant discovery, I’ll inform you.”

Shi Ji’s return to the company with a goal surely wasn’t simple, and it definitely wasn’t just about getting close to her.

Lu Xun wasn’t surprised that Luo Ning knew about the twins; obviously, Shi Ji had told her.

Taking the initiative to share with Luo Ning, he was indeed a smart one.

Lu Xun pondered for a moment before saying, “Shi Ji’s identity might have some peculiarities, so be extra cautious and on guard around Shi Ju.”

Luo Ning expressed surprise and nodded, “Alright.”
