In a chained car accident on a highway with heavy traffic, it was lucky that only four cars were affected. Soon the police and the ambulance arrived and took the people in the four cars away. Other passers-by did not know that these people were accomplices, and after feeling sorry for them, they did not think much of it
Zhao Zhicheng and Xiang Qiang had lingering fears. If Master Qi hadn’t given them this amulet ahead of time, it would have been them.
After the four men were sent to the hospital, one of them died, and the other three were seriously injured, but they survived. Therefore, the National Security Bureau quickly transferred the three wounded men away so that no one knew where they were.
The next day, Zhao Zhicheng and Xiang Qiang brought a lot of gifts to thank Qi Yan for saving their lives.
However, they went too early, and Master Qi hadn’t gotten up yet.
“Master Qi is still resting, and it’s not nice to disturb him,” Zhao Zhicheng put down the gift in his hand, “Let’s come back in the afternoon.”
“Please sit for a while.” How could the butler let Master Qi’s guests leave like this? He glanced at his watch, “Master Qi should be getting up soon, what would you like to drink?”
“Thank you,” Zhao Zhicheng was a rough and unrefined man. Facing the gentle butler, he felt a little uncomfortable, “We will leave soon.”
“You are Master Qi’s guests, and also the guests of the Cen family,” The butler saw Zhao Zhicheng’s discomfort, stepped back and asked the servant to pour tea for the two. Then, he bowed slightly, “Please have some tea.”
When the butler who was wearing a suit and a pair of white gloves left, Zhao Zhicheng breathed a sigh of relief. These wealthy families had a lot of rules and etiquette. There were not as carefree as Master Qi, so they felt uncomfortable.
“Captain,” Xiang Qiang whispered to Zhao Zhicheng while holding the tea, “I think the Cen family seems to be more particular than the other wealthy families we visited before.”
Zhao Zhicheng glanced at him and didn’t speak. It was rude to be a guest at someone else’s house and talk about their private affairs.
“Captain Zhao, Mr. Xiang,” Qi Yan walked downstairs, saw Zhao Zhicheng and Xiang Qiang whispering, and called out to them, “I’m sorry, I got up a little late today.”
“Sorry to disturb you,” Zhao Zhicheng immediately stood up from the sofa when he saw Qi Yan
“Please sit,” Qi Yan sat down on the sofa, “We are almost brothers-in-arms, so there’s no need to be so polite.”
“Master Qi,” The butler came over with a tray containing Qi Yan’s breakfast, “Please have breakfast.”
“Thank you.” Qi Yan showed the butler a big smile.
The butler smiled back at him, bowed to the three, and left silently.
“Master Qi, if it wasn’t for you yesterday, neither of us would have had the chance to be here,” Zhao Zhicheng and Xiang Qiang stood up and bowed deeply to Qi Yan, “We will not forget your kindness.”
Qi Yan accepted their bows, and took a sip of milk from the cup, “Please sit and talk.”
Zhao Zhicheng and Xiang Qiang sat down obediently, just like children in a kindergarten waiting for their lunch.
Qi Yan was amused by the obedient appearance of the two rough men, and he couldn’t even finish eating his bread, “Did something happen when you went back yesterday?”
Xiang Qiang explained what happened and asked curiously, “Master Qi, why did that talisman paper made of dollar bills have such a great effect?”
“You should have heard of the fifth emperor’s money, right?”
Xiang Qiang and Zhao Zhicheng nodded. They were members of the Special Task Force, so they had some basic understanding of metaphysics.
“Actually, it’s just like the fifth emperor’s money,” Qi Yan said with a smile, “Traditionally, the five emperors’ money is a protection tool. When the emperor was in power, he was very popular among the people, and the nation was in harmony. Moreover, he was a good ruler. To put it simply, he was popular, full of Yang energy, and was popular among the people. There are not many coins left from that period of time, most of them are fake, so it’s not easy to recreate them.”
“But the RMB…”
“The faith in the RMB is not weaker than that of the coins during the rule of the fifth emperor,” Qi Yan knew that the two of them couldn’t understand it, and he slept well and was in a good mood today, so he explained to them patiently, “There is a figure of the great man of China, and he also has the faith of more than one billion people, I sealed the power of faith on the RMB and used it to protect you.”
Zhao Zhicheng was stunned. They had come into contact with so many masters, and there was really no one like Master Qi who dared to innovate like that.
“More importantly, after the RMB loses its effectiveness, you can still use it. It is environmentally friendly and saves trouble. It’s good to kill two birds with one stone,” Qi Yan said, and nodded proudly, “My generation of masters must keep up with the times and dare to innovate so that we are not left behind.”
Zhao Zhicheng and Xiang Qiang were in a daze. Although they thought it was absurd, somehow it also made sense. Master Qi was indeed special
“Master Qi, besides wanting to thank you, there is one more thing I want to tell you,” Zhao Zhicheng continued, seeing that there was no displeasure on Qi Yan’s face, “Master Qian wants to see you.”
“How is Master Qian now?” Qi Yan didn’t ask about the spy, which was not something he could ask, “I haven’t been able to visit him, it’s great that I have the chance now.”
Seeing that Qi Yan didn’t ask about Master Qian, Zhao Zhicheng took the initiative to tell him, “The case about Master Qian being a spy has been investigated, and he is innocent.”
Master Qian was innocent, meaning Master Wei was not.
Qi Yan sighed and did not comment on this matter. When he first met Master Wei, although he was missing an eye, he was a very gentle elder. He didn’t expect that he would do such a thing.
“Two months ago, Master Wei found his long-lost son,” Zhao Zhicheng said in a tone of regret and anger, “We investigated him and it turned out that he was not his son.”
Most of the people involved in mysticism had difficulty having children. To have a son or daughter was a gift from God, so Master Wei must be happy to have a son. These masters could tell others’ fortune, but they couldn’t tell their own. Master Wei would rather be a spy than let others hurt his son, who turned out to be a scammer.
“Isn’t there a paternity test?”
“He did, but someone altered it.”
Qi Yan did not continue to ask. The National Security Bureau would definitely not let them off.
“When is Master Qian free?” Qi Yan unknowingly ate most of his breakfast, “I’ve been very free recently.”
“How about today?” Zhao Zhicheng knew in his heart that a master like Qi Yan would have someone looking for him anytime. If he didn’t take him to see Master Qian when he was free now, he might be busy tomorrow.
“Master Qi,” The butler walked in and whispered to Qi Yan, “Yuan Peng and Yuan Cheng are here.”
Qi Yan put the empty plate aside and wiped the corners of his mouth, “Didn’t they already apologize?”
The butler smiled and said, “It must be because they still feel uneasy.” It would be odd if they were. They were the ones asking for help, but ended up causing trouble. The last time they came to apologize, Master Qi’s attitude was neither cold nor warm, so the Yuan family might not be able to sleep peacefully these days.
“Then invite them in.” The Yuan family was considered a prominent family, but they inevitably compared themselves with the Cen family which was much more prominent. One should not keep comparing with others, so his perception of the Yuan family was just average.
Among the Yuan family members whom he had met, only Yuan Cheng had the purest aura. Although those who do business are never truly pure, the Yuan family’s ancestors must have relied on dishonest means to make money, otherwise it wouldn’t be the case where each new generation was worse than the previous. Besides, they were surrounded by evil energy.
“Master Qi, since you have guests, then we…”
“Please wait for a while and I’ll come with you to visit Master Qian,” Qi Yan said with a smile, “If you left, how do I know where to go?”
Xiang Qiang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhao Zhicheng, “Okay.”
Zhao Zhicheng was not stupid, he knew that Master Qi was cold towards the two young masters of the Yuan family, otherwise he would not have reacted in this way. Anyway, they were definitely on the side of Master Qi, so if Master Qi did not want them to leave, then they would not leave.
“First Master Yuan, Second Master Yuan, please come this way,” The butler led the two brothers, Yuan Peng and Yuan Cheng into the house.
When the Yuan brothers saw that the Cen family had guests, they were stunned for a moment, then greeted Qi Yan with a smile, “Master Qi, sorry to disturb you.”
“Please take a seat,” Qi Yan said with a smile, “It’s good to have guests.”
Although he said so, he did not take the initiative to introduce his friends to the two of them. It was clear that he did not welcome them.
Yuan Peng felt a little embarrassed. What his uncle did was bad. The two times he came to Cen’s house, his face felt warm. Facing Qi Yan’s neutral attitude, he had to grow a thick skin, “Thanks for welcoming us.”
Qi Yan smiled without saying a word, his eyes swept across Yuan Peng and fell on Yuan Cheng, “How are you?”
“I’m fine, how are you?” Yuan Cheng really felt sorry for Qi Yan, so his face inevitably revealed a look of shame.
“It’s nice to be fed like a pig every day,” Qi Yan stroked his rosy face, “But you look a little thinner.”
Yuan Peng’s face changed slightly, while Yuan Cheng smiled bitterly, “Maybe my appetite has not been good recently.”
Yuan Peng glanced at his brother and said nothing.
