Cao Fenglin had already put down his chopsticks, and used a napkin to wipe his mouth, and then continued to speak of the matter that he requested of Wu Ji.

He said very straightforwardly that although the house that we had taken care of last night was haunted, he didn't care too much about it, because it was good that it was taken care of. Even if it couldn't be taken care of, it wouldn't matter if it was left empty or resold.

But he also wanted to use that matter to test Wu Ji's abilities. If Wu Ji didn't find this piece of Death Jade, it would mean that our ability was merely that.

As for the matter of Wu Ji finding the Death Jade on the market last night, although it wasn't as flowery as those divine rods and fake great deities, I'm afraid not many people would be able to rely on his ability to find something the size of a meter in a huge villa while sitting unmoving.

And what Cao Fenglin said after that, I couldn't help but feel some sympathy for him.

Cao Fenglin said that right now, he was a loner who fought his whole life without a single person who passed away. He painstakingly built up such a huge family business, but in the end, no one was able to inherit his skills.

When I heard him say that, I thought he had never had a child, or was having an argument with a child, or was divorced or something.

But then he went on to say that he had a daughter who, if she was still alive, would be twenty-five this year.

Hearing that if she was still alive, my back couldn't help but tighten. "Your daughter, she …"

Cao Fenglin shook his head and sighed. When he talked about this matter, he seemed to have aged a few years in an instant, revealing an aged and exhausted look.

"A year ago, an accident occurred. And the thing I want the help of a mage is about my daughter. " Cao Fenglin looked at Wu Ji with a slightly fervent gaze, as if he was pleading for his life.

Towards this lonely old man who had lost his daughter, Wu Ji's attitude was no longer as distant and cold. He lightly nodded: "Master Cao, please speak."

More than a year ago, Cao Fenglin's daughter brought home a man for her to introduce to him. He said that he wanted to marry that man.

Cao Fenglin only had a daughter, and in the future, his family business would be handed over to her daughter. Naturally, he was very picky with her son-in-law, and this man was called Lin Baiquan, who had just graduated a few years ago. He originally ran a business for a private company, but later he was hired as a staff member of a company under Cao Fenglin's name.

Furthermore, at that time Cao Fenglin's daughter had introduced them to each other, saying that they had coincidentally met in a coffee shop, that the two of them had always bought the same cup of coffee at the same time, and felt that there was some sort of fate between them, so Lin Baiquan decided to pursue Cao Fenglin's daughter.

At first, Lin Baiquan did not know Cao Fenglin's daughter's identity. The two had been together for almost a year, and after their relationship stabilized, Cao Fenglin's daughter revealed his identity.

Just like the scenes from those dog-blooded television dramas, Lin Baiquan was extremely shocked when he found out about them. But at the same time, he thought that his identity as's daughter was different from those he had been tricked, so he suggested to break up with her, and in the end, the female side did her best to save them. After the two of them made up, they decided to get engaged.

How could a person in Cao Fenglin's position not trust such things so easily? When he heard this, he already felt that something was amiss, how could there be such a coincidence? Lin Baiquan had only worked at the company for a short while, and because of such a romantic coincidence, he got to know the person in charge of the company?

Cao Fenglin thought that his daughter had been blinded by love, so she did not ask him about it at that time, but sent people behind to investigate the process of their meeting, as well as Lin Baiquan's background.

And after finding out what the problem was, he found out that before Lin Baiquan met Cao Fenglin's daughter, he had used the chance to drink his coffee to pretend that he was asking about Cao Fenglin's daughter.

The shop assistant at the café knew Cao Fenglin's daughter, and told his at that time that she was the only daughter of the company's chairman. Although her family was very rich, he was very amiable and normally did not show it, so normal people would not be able to tell that she was actually that rich of a family's young miss.

This time, it was clear that before he knew Cao Fengli's daughter, Lin Baiquan already knew of her identity. But later on, she even pretended to be shocked and wanted to break up.

Cao Fenglin would never allow a man like him to scheme against his own daughter from the moment they met. However, he was afraid that it would hurt his daughter's heart, so he called for Lin Baiquan in private to coerce him to leave his daughter.

Lin Baiquan refused to admit that he knew about Cao Fenglin's identity as her daughter from the start, and said righteously that he would not covet Cao family's money, and would definitely not break up with Cao Fenglin's daughter.

It was precisely the so-called "courtesy before action". Cao Fenglin first agreed that since Lin Baiquan did not agree to leave, then he used a few methods to force Lin Baiquan to not only lose his job, but he also ran into a wall and had nowhere to go.

After forcing Lin Baiquan to the point where he had no other way out, Cao Fenglin felt that it was about time to call him over, so he gave him another chance to leave first.

And this time, Lin Baiquan, who had been forced into a corner, revealed his true face. He still said that he would never leave, and even made Cao Fenglin pay a price that would make him regret for his entire life.

Afterwards, she didn't know how Lin Baiquan managed to convince Cao Fenglin's daughter to marry him in private!

This made Cao Fenglin extremely angry. Not only did he not chase away the hungry wolves, he had even lost his own daughter.

Most importantly, Cao Fenglin's daughter had not returned home for a long time after he had registered with Lin Baiquan. At first, Cao Fenglin thought that his daughter was angry, but although he was worried, he still could not give up on his face.

But later, Cao Fenglin had a nightmare one night. He dreamed that his daughter was standing in front of him and crying nonstop, asking her what she wanted but didn't say anything, so he just watched him cry nonstop.

After waking up, Cao Fenglin was completely shocked. He immediately sent someone to check on her daughter's situation, and upon doing so, discovered that her daughter was actually hospitalized!

Not long after Lin Baiquan and her daughter had registered, Cao Fenglin's daughter suddenly fell ill. Her symptoms were extremely strange, her internal organs were deteriorating at an extremely fast rate, and it was as though there was no cure for her!

When Cao Fenglin went to the hospital to see his daughter, she was already unconscious. Not long after, she left.

From the moment Cao Fenglin and her daughter started arguing with each other and then her daughter finally ran away from home, Cao Fenglin had not seen her daughter again. When they met again, her daughter was already unconscious, so the father and daughter pair had not even said a word of farewell.

Cao Fenglin was extremely regretful, he had swung his hair in one night, but at the same time, he began to hate Lin Baiquan more and more.

It was not only because of Lin Baiquan, but he and his daughter's failure to leave behind any regrets. More importantly, Cao Fenglin suspected that his daughter's sudden and inexplicable illness was related to Lin Baiquan.

So after his daughter's funeral, Cao Fenglin asked his lawyers to sue him for cheating on him for marriage and so on, the marriage between the two of them had to be annulled.

Ignoring the fact that this case had been dragging on for a long time, he only mentioned one thing that Cao Fenglin had sent people to find out from Lin Baiquan's people.

Not long after his daughter died, after he got drunk at a bar, he leaked out his conversation with his friends. The gist of the conversation was that the reason why Lin Baiquan had such a day was because he had seen a rich family's daughter with his own eyes, and why he could have such a chance now was because he had killed that rich family's daughter.

Naturally, no one believed him. His friends knew that his wife died from a serious illness, so they thought it was a joke to ask how he killed his wife.

Lin Baiquan chuckled then, and said very mysteriously that he himself knew magic, wanting to kill a bunch of people, this kind of thing was extremely easy.

To others, these words might sound like nonsense, but Cao Fenglin was different!
