Wu Ji suddenly asked me: "Are you still carrying the Soul Suppressing Emblem around?"

I was curious why he would suddenly ask about this, but immediately showed the Soul Suppressing Emblem on his neck to him. "I've been carrying it around, what's the matter?"

Wu Ji glanced at it, then nodded his head in relief, "It's good enough that you have it with you."

I frowned. I felt that his actions were extremely strange. "What happened?"

He leaned back on the sofa and relaxed his breathing, then closed his eyes and calmed himself down before speaking out. He only felt that the world was fickle after seeing what had happened to Uncle Zhuang, so he hoped that I could be a bit more cautious.

His words were perfunctory to anyone who heard them, but I saw that he was tired and didn't ask any further questions.

The next day at school, when I walked out of the form teacher's office, I coincidentally saw the principal. He took the initiative to stop me: "Qing Sheng, come over here for a bit."

I followed the principal to his office. Finally, the principal stood by the window outside his office. He looked at me and sighed. "You already know about the matter regarding Old Manor, right?"

I nodded. "I'm sorry, my cousin and I are truly powerless against the matter of the Uncle Zhuang."

The principal gently waved his hand, "I know. Of course this person can't fight the heavens. His arms will never be able to twist his thighs."

I wasn't sure what he was trying to say.

After pausing for a moment, he sighed and said, "I want to know if I can still do something for him now that the village has left."

Yesterday, didn't my cousin also go to Uncle Zhuang's funeral? I asked.

The principal nodded. "I did, but your cousin didn't say anything."

I can imagine Wu Ji's expression when he ignored the principal's question.

Since he didn't say it, he probably didn't mean to pretend to be aloof. It was likely that there was no way to truly help the Uncle Zhuang, and Wu Ji did not want the Principal and the other survivors to feel guilty, hence he completely ignored this problem.

Wu Ji's thoughts and intentions were usually good, but his kindness only required him to face his own conscience. He was never willing to explain half a sentence to anyone who didn't understand him.

Even if he did put in all his effort to help someone, the other party would always mistake him for being cold and unfeeling.

When I didn't know him in the beginning, I misunderstood him.

"If it's possible, I might as well do a supernatural thing for Uncle Zhuang and Auntie Hongtao. It might be of some help."

I thought about it and could only think of one way to make the two of them feel more at ease.

The principal nodded and said, "That's good too."

"Then, if the principal has nothing else, I'll take my leave first." I think we're going to have a class soon.

The headmaster nodded again, but warned me not to take these personal matters to school.

I knew that he was afraid that I would spread his stories among my classmates, so I smiled and replied, "As long as I can reassure him."

I naturally wouldn't spread this matter around. Not only would the students misunderstand me as a God, I was the only one in the school who knew about this matter. If it were to reach the ears of the principal, it would naturally be mine.

I spent the next few days seeing Wu Ji come back very late, and every night when I came back I could smell the heavy smell of his cigarettes and alcohol.

For those who didn't drink or smoke, the smell of the alcohol was very sensitive.

I didn't think too much about it at the beginning, but after a few days, I couldn't help but ask Wu Ji where he had gone to.

When I asked him, I was afraid he wouldn't tell me, or say something else.

However, he didn't have any intention of hiding anything from me, and directly replied, "I've been looking for Lin Baiquan these past few days, he's been in the bar almost every night …"

That's why he didn't use the private investigator that Cao Fenglin gave him to follow him. Instead, he personally went up the stage, wanting to directly observe and confirm if Lin Baiquan really knew any kind of technique, or if Lin Baiquan was just bragging.

But in the next few days, other than drinking to curry favor with girls, Lin Baiquan had never done anything else. That was why Wu Ji was covered in the smell of tobacco and alcohol when she followed him.

I was caught off guard by Wu Ji's patience, and as I imagined the scene where Wu Ji was like a private detective following Lin Baiquan, I felt an inexplicable sense of joy.

And just like that, two more days passed. On the second day, Wu Ji returned with a faint happiness in his eyes.

"Have you found any clues?" I asked immediately.

Wu Ji nodded slightly, he was right about Cao Fenglin's guess, Lin Baiquan knew a few things, and they should be Gong Tau Arts s!

I was stunned for a moment. Among all the evil arts, I was the most sensitive to the word Gong Tau Arts and it gave me the most headache.

Gong Tau Arts s can easily make people crazy and even kill them. I have experienced this myself, so when I thought about the events that occurred in dorm 104, my scalp immediately went numb.

After resolving the 104 issue, I prayed in my heart that I wouldn't have the Gong Tau Arts by my side again in the future. But now, it seems that God didn't take my wish seriously!

When I mentioned about dorm 104, Wu Ji gave a mysterious smile and said that Lin Baiquan's matter might really have something to do with dorm 104!

The first time was because of the act of Zhang Si's adopted daughter who bought the strange flower vase. Although we haven't found the actual mastermind for the second time, the matter of the Gong Tau Arts that happened in this region must be related to the successor of the Gong Tau Arts, Zhang Si.

"Could it be that this Lin Baiquan is related to the Zhang Si who bought the vase?" I thought about it and immediately asked Wu Ji.

Wu Ji said that these people did business that could not be exposed, they also did a lot of secret methods, and for the time being, they could only find out that Lin Baiquan and Zhang Si's relationship was extremely close.

So it turns out that Wu Ji was also an antique dealer in private! These people were inextricably linked, and as for how close this relationship was, they needed to investigate further.

Then why are you still guarding Lin Baiquan? I felt that it was a bit too much for someone like him to follow like a paparazzi.

Wu Ji shook his head, he said that he was only following Lin Baiquan to confirm if he really knew any evil techniques. Since he had already confirmed this matter, there would naturally be a professional to handle the matters that came after.

That night, we received Cao Fenglin's invitation. He wanted us to go to his place and let Wu Ji personally explain the situation to him.

Thus, we took a bus back to Cao Fenglin's home, and saw this old man, who was alone despite being rich.

In truth, I only came here as a decoration, but it was just that when I was alone in the apartment, I was bored, and Wu Ji seemed to be worried about me, so he asked me to come with him, and I followed.

While Wu Ji and Cao Fenglin were talking, I was holding a cup of tea and drinking it slowly by the side.

Listening to what Wu Ji had investigated about these past few days.

Although he looked to be just a playboy, he was actually secretly engaged in some business of smuggling and selling antiques. He also became an employee of Cao Fenglin's company back then, probably just to seduce Cao Fenglin's daughter.

Lin Baiquan would usually take some ancient items from the Tomb Robber through connections, and then sell them to foreigners through his own channels.

During this period of time, not only did he earn a lot of money, but he also saved himself a lot of risks because he had to hand everything over to the foreigners.

There is a drawback in China, where foreigners are always treated with a higher opinion. Even if the other is a garbage picker in China, he is seen as someone who has the skills of a rich person simply because of his face as a foreigner.

Once this item was passed into the hands of a foreigner, the foreigner would easily bring the item out of the country. No one would know about it during this period!

Hearing that, Cao Fenglin became angry, the cane in his hand smashed onto the ground heavily, "This bastard! Not only did you harm my daughter, you're also a traitor! "

Although the traitor was exaggerating a bit, if one were to thoroughly investigate what Lin Baiquan had done, they would think that Lin Baiquan had done the same.

For their own benefit, these people sold the cultural treasures of ancient China exclusively abroad. It was hateful!

And Wu Ji's next sentence caused Cao Fenglin's entire body to tremble: "Lin Baiquan actually did not only lie to your daughter. Before this, he also had a woman who lived together with him for many years …"
