The four of them sat around the table. Seeing that Liang Feng was not speaking, Mr. Yang began to thank Qi Yan solemnly. As a profit-oriented businessman, he wanted to curry favor with Qi Yan. As a father, he wanted to kowtow to the person who saved his son.
He only had one son, and all the money he was earning was for him. If the child was gone, what was the use of having so much money?
Qi Yan smiled and listened to Mr. Yang’s endless words of gratitude. After he finished speaking, he nodded with a smile, and refilled Mr. Yang’s cup that was half empty, “Mr. Yang really doesn’t have to be so polite. We just happened to bump into each other. Perhaps it was fate”
“You can’t say that. The situation was so dangerous at the time. If you hadn’t taken the risk to rescue him, maybe the child would have been burned to…” Mrs. Yang couldn’t say the word “death”. “Although that was just a small matter for you, it is a great kindness to our family.”
After hearing this, Qi Yan smiled, sipped his tea without saying anything.
Seeing his attitude, the husband and wife became more at ease, and they continued praising Qi Yan until they were satisfied.
Liang Feng did not remember much about Mr. Yang. There were too many business owners in Capital City like Mr. Yang. His only impression of this person was that Qi Yan had visited his house to take a look at their Feng Shui. Later, he did a background check on Mr. Yang, who had a decent company in his name, and could be considered a rich man to ordinary people. He had some power, but did not flaunt it. From his point of view, Master Qi didn’t need to curry favor with the Yang family.
It seemed that Master Qi was really kind. He understood why the Yang family was so grateful.
“Mr. Liang,” Qi Yan turned to look at Liang Feng, “May I ask why you are here today?”
Liang Feng smiled and said, “I felt bad for disturbing you last time, so I came here to thank you today.” After speaking, he took out a small rectangular box and placed it in front of Qi Yan.
Qi Yan turned the teacup in his hand, glanced at Liang Feng, and said slowly, “Mr. Liang is very polite.”
“That’s what I should do,” Liang Feng saw that Qi Yan was not very interested in the gift, so he put down the teacup and hesitated for a moment before saying, “Actually, I am here today to ask for another favor.”
Qi Yan knew that Liang Feng’s coming today was definitely not just to thank him. He had already received a fee for helping him. The incident had long passed, he wouldn’t have felt grateful for such a long time. There must be other things.
Mr. Yang and Mrs. Yang were very conscientious people. When Liang Feng said that, they got up and said goodbye to Qi Yan. Before leaving, they insisted on giving Qi Yan a red envelope.
After the Yang couple left, Qi Yan closed the door, walked to the tea table and sat down, inviting Liang Feng to speak.
“Thank you,” Liang Feng smiled, “The last time I came, I didn’t have a good chat with you because of the limited time.” Liang Feng paused, “I originally wanted to ask you to tell my boss’ fortune. I didn’t expect that you would become friends.”
Even Liang Feng himself found it hard to believe this. The boss actually became friends with a Feng Shui master, which was really surprising.
Qi Yan smiled indifferently. When Liang Feng came, he didn’t say that he was Fifth Master Cen’s assistant at all. Maybe he wanted to hide it, and Qi Yan didn’t care. He was probably bringing this up because he was afraid that he would misunderstand him.
Seeing that there was no displeasure in Qi Yan’s expression, Liang Feng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. At the beginning, he deliberately concealed his identity because he was afraid of causing trouble to the boss. The boss had an extraordinary status, and there were many people who wanted to curry favor from him. If the boss didn’t want to see Master Qi at that time, he would be the one who had offended him, and the boss would not be involved.
“Please forgive me Master Qi.” Liang Feng felt fortunate that Master Qi was not a narrow-minded person. It was not hard for a skilled master like him to cast a spell on him if he was offended.
Qi Yan listened with a smile, waiting for Liang Feng to say what he wanted.
“Master Qi, I don’t know if there are any ghosts in the world…” Liang Feng hesitated for a moment, and finally said what he had in mind, “My sister got a boyfriend a few years ago. The relationship between the two is not bad. They are ready to get married, but their new house has been haunted recently.”
Qi Yan raised his eyebrows, “Is there anything abnormal?”
“There are sounds of women and children crying in the middle of the night. When she went to the bathroom in the middle of the night, she found red blood stains at the bottom of the bathtub, and saw some shadows.” Liang Feng’s face was filled with sadness, “Now my sister is living in fear. She didn’t dare to live in the house she bought with her fiancé, and she looked haggard.”
“Have they asked the neighbors, maybe there is a woman or a child crying?” Qi Yan himself didn’t quite believe this. Many so-called ghosts were created to scare others.
Living people breathed life. This energy was feared by supernatural entities, and they would not bother them without reason. Only those who were dying or who did not have sufficient energy could see these entities.
“How is your sister’s health?”
Hearing this irrelevant question, Liang Feng was stunned for a moment and then said, “It’s good. She could eat and move normally, but her appetite has been a little bit poor in the past two days.”
“I see,” Qi Yan glanced at the time, “Is your sister free today? I have to go to her new house to see what’s going on.”
“She just took a leave of absence to rest at home today. Thank you.” Liang Feng bowed to Qi Yan. It was about his sister. As a brother, he would inevitably be worried.
Qi Yan went back to the study and took two boxes the size of a fist, and said to Liang Feng who was waiting for him in the living room, “Okay, then let’s go now.”
After Cen Baihe finished the meeting, he said to the secretary, “Liang Feng applied for leave today?”
The secretary nodded and said, “It seems that something happened to his family, and he needs to deal with it.”
Cen Baihe didn’t ask any more questions when he heard that. As the boss of the company, when something happened to his trusted employee’s family, it would be mean if he didn’t even ask about it, “I see. Give me a copy of the minutes of the meeting just now.”
Liang Feng drove directly to his sister’s new house, and when Qi Yan got out of the car, he saw a beautiful woman dressed fashionably walking towards them. Although she looked tired, she exuded the aura of a strong woman.
“Hello, Master Qi, I’m Liang Yun.” Liang Yun, who was wearing high heels, walked to Qi Yan and thanked him, “Thank you for making this trip for my sake.” She heard her brother say that this young man had studied Feng Shui at the Cen family’s house and had a good relationship with Fifth Master Cen, so she knew that he was a very powerful person.
Many people tend to associate age with skills, but skillful people are not necessarily old.
After the two greeted each other, Liang Yun led Liang Feng and Qi Yan upstairs.
The house that Liang Yun and her fiance bought had an auspicious number. It was 1606, facing south, with good lighting and ventilation, and the interior was cozy. After Qi Yan entered the house, he looked around and knew that the owner of the house had put in a lot of effort in the interior design.
After walking around, Qi Yan faced the burning eyes of the brother and sister. He did not say anything, but opened the toolbox he brought with him.
Liang Feng thought that the toolbox would contain various instruments, but instead, there were apparatus for chemical experiments. He looked at Qi Yan suspiciously, not understanding what he wanted to do.
Not knowing what Qi Yan had put together, Liang Feng saw the liquid quickly turned red, and he was a little stunned for a while.
Qi Yan didn’t look at him, but pulled the curtains in the living room to darken the whole room, then turned on a light and asked Liang Yun, “Did the blood you see at night look like this?”
Liang Yun was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, “I don’t know, I was very scared at the time, I turned around and ran away, then…” Then, seeing how frightened she was, her fiancé came over and rinsed off the blood.
She looked at the contents of the beaker a few more times, and thought that the colors seemed to be quite similar.
“What is this?” Liang Feng asked.
When he asked this, he saw a strange look in Qi Yan’s eyes.
“I added the phenolphthalein indicator to an alkaline solution with a pH of 8.2 to 10.0,” Qi Yan shook the red liquid, “That caused a chemical reaction.”
“Of course…” Qi Yan poured the byproduct into a container, turned his head and rushed into the toilet. He said to the siblings, “You might have seen animal’s blood or ketchup, but ketchup probably couldn’t be rinsed away so easily.”
“Master, you mean, there is nothing wrong with the house…” Liang Yun glanced around the room, “Is there anything supernatural entity?”
“At least I didn’t notice anything wrong in this house,” Qi Yan packed up his toolbox, “Actually, I don’t think you should ask a master. Call the police instead.”
Liang Yun’s back shivered instantly when she heard the words. Initially, she thought that the house was haunted, but she didn’t think much about it. If it’s not haunted…then who did it, and who had entered her house?
“Click”. The sound of a key unlocking the door was heard and a man wearing a t-shirt and glasses came in, carrying a bag of fruits in his hand.
“Big brother,” The man was stunned for a moment, then happily walked over to Liang Yun. “Yunyun, I heard that you are coming over today, so I bought your favorite fruit. But, who is this?” He looked at Qi Yan and wondered why a stranger suddenly came to his house.
“This is the master that big brother invited,” Liang Yun said with a smile, “Why didn’t you go to work today?”
“I took two days off,” the man explained with a smile. “You’re not in a good mood. I want to spend more time with you.”
Jiang Yun smiled sweetly and carried the fruit bought by the man into the kitchen.
The man invited Liang Feng and Qi Yan to sit down, walked to the balcony and opened the curtains. Then, he sat down opposite Qi Yan, “Master, please help us take a look. Strange things have been happening in the house. We are thinking of selling it and buying another one.”
Qi Yan looked at the man with a half-smile, “What if it’s still haunted after you sold it?”
The man smiled embarrassedly, “I have discussed this issue with Yunyun too. Worse comes to worse we’ll just sell it with a low price. This house… I really don’t want to live in it anymore.”
Liang Feng did not speak. Judging from his slightly indifferent attitude towards the man, he did not seem to like his brother-in-law that much, but he hid his emotions very well. If Qi Yan hadn’t learned to read micro expressions, he wouldn’t have noticed it.
“Brother, Master Qi, eat some fruits.” Liang Yun came out with the washed fruit, put it on the table and said with a smile, “Zhehan, go to the supermarket and buy some vegetables.”
“Sure,” Zhou Zhehan complied and went out.
Qi Yan watched him leave, reached out and put a grape in his mouth. It was so sour that he almost shed tears. He quickly took a sip of water, rinsing the taste in his mouth. Liang Feng stretched his arm to get some grapes but quickly retracted it when he saw Qi Yan lowered his head to have a drink.
Liang Yun didn’t notice their actions. After she put the grape in her mouth, her whole expression became distorted. After swallowing the grape, she smiled awkwardly at Qi Yan, “Master Qi, this is embarrassing. Zhehan is not good at picking out fruits.”
“It’s okay.” Qi Yan took a sip of tea and said calmly, “Sour grapes are refreshing.”
Hearing what Qi Yan said, Liang Yun put her hair behind her ears awkwardly. She was still embarrassed, but she kept a smile on her face.
Liang Feng sighed: “Yunyun, Zhou Zhehan mentioned that you are going to sell this house at a low price?”
Liang Yun hesitated, “He mentioned it to me a couple of times yesterday, and I haven’t decided whether to sell it or not.” She knew that her family was not satisfied with Zhehan, so she spoke meekly. This house was bought three years ago, and it cost more than 2 million yuan. As Zhehan’s family was not rich and he only started working, his family helped pay about 400,000, and the remaining 2 million was paid by her and her family.
“Ms. Liang, your house’ value has appreciated, not depreciated. Selling it at a low price would be a huge loss,” Qi Yan frowned. “It’s better to consider this carefully.”
“It took me a lot of effort to renovate this house, and I don’t want to sell it,” Liang Yun looked around the house, her smile was a little relaxed, “Now that Master Qi says the house is fine, I’m relieved.”
“No, the person behind this has not been caught. You might be relieved, I am not.” Liang Feng’s tone sounded harsh. But as Qi Yan was there, he showed some restraint.
Qi Yan listened to the siblings talk. About half an hour later, Zhou Zhehan came back, and Liang Yun got up and said to him, “You chat with my brother and Master Qi, I’ll go in and cook.”
Zhou Zhehan sat down on the sofa and saw that the fruit in the fruit plate was hardly touched, so he pushed the fruit in front of the two of them, “This fruit is very fresh, please have them.”
Qi Yan stared at Zhou Zhehan’s face and suddenly said, “How long have Mr. Zhou and Miss Liang been together?”
Zhou Zhehan was stunned for a while, and then smiled, “It’s been almost eight years. We met in college back then, and it’s not easy to stay together until now.”
Liang Feng’s cell phone rang at this moment, and Qi Yan swallowed what he was about to say.
He didn’t know who Liang Feng was talking to, but Liang Feng suddenly turned his head and glanced at him, “Yes, Master Qi is also with me.”
After a few words, Liang Feng said to Qi Yan, “The boss asked about you just now and said he wanted to see you tonight.”
Qi Yan’s brows moved and he nodded slightly. His eyes fell on Zhou Zhehan again.
Zhou Zhehan felt uncomfortable under Qi Yan’s stare. For some reason, even though this so-called master didn’t look like a real master, it seemed as though he could look into people’s hearts. He was a little scared to look into his eyes.
“I see that you come from an average family background and you have many brothers and sisters. It wasn’t easy for your parents to support you to go to university, right?” Qi Yan lowered his eyes slightly, “Good fortune is hard to come by.”
Zhou Zhehan smiled embarrassedly, “It was indeed not easy for them.”
“Since everything you have now is obtained with great effort, why don’t you cherish it?” Qi Yan raised his eyes and looked at him sharply, “But Mr. Zhou seems to have trouble with love recently?”
“Master Qi, what are you accusing me of?” Zhou Zhehan stood up abruptly from the sofa and looked at Qi Yan and Liang Feng angrily, “Brother, I know you look down on my poor family, but you can’t destroy our relationship like that. If you have a problem with us, tell that to our face!”
Being yelled at like this, Qi Yan laughed instead of getting angry. He gave Zhou Zhehan a fluttering glance, then turned to look in the direction of the kitchen, “Miss Liang, could you come over here?”
