There was really no need to rest. Chi Shuyan wasn’t a fragile person. After being depressed for a while, she perked up again. She didn’t waste the man’s good intentions. She was a little thirsty, so she picked up the cup and drank a few mouthfuls of water.
Next to her, Qi Zhenbai’s cold eyes softened a little when he saw that his wife didn’t refuse his good intentions. He looked at his wife with unknowing gentleness, indulgence, and warmth. On the side, Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan only felt goosebumps all over their bodies at President Qi’s sticky gaze.
They really didn’t expect the once famous, decisive and unreasonable Chief Qi to have such a warm appearance. The two looked at each other and didn’t dare interrupt the moment.
Chi Shuyan’s thoughts were still on the matter at hand; no matter how she racked her brain, she couldn’t think of anything. She couldn’t be bothered to dwell on it. After drinking the water, she got up and said, “Let’s go. Since we have been informed, we’ll go over now. As for whether or not to invite the statue in…” At that point, Wu Haoming recalled something and hurriedly said, “By the way, Sister-in-law, I haven’t finished. Apart from what happened to the Xu family, I also heard all sorts of strange things. Apparently, if one doesn’t believe in this True Buddha Lord and isn’t sincere toward him, they will suffer all sorts of misfortunes. For example, there was a family that lived on the fringes of the village who didn’t believe in the Buddha statue. The man went to the back of the mountain to work one day and accidentally stepped into a trap. It was a trap set with some long, sharp wires for trapping wild boar. Who would have thought that he would accidentally step into it and be pierced through? It was only after the body decomposed that it was discovered!
“There was also a family who didn’t believe in the Buddha statue and said that it was superstitious nonsense. That night, there was a sudden fire for no reason, and the whole family couldn’t escape.”
The more Wu Haoming spoke, the more alarmed Xiao Shan became, just like when Wu Haoming had heard the information from the villagers.
As for Chi Shuyan and Qi Zhenbai, they were both people who were good at withstanding pressure. They merely frowned before regaining their calm, and they just let Wu Haoming talk as they walked.
On the way to the village chief’s house, Wu Haoming told him everything he had found out, but there wasn’t anything else. Moreover, he realized that the villagers were very wary of talking about the Buddha statue and anything related to it.
When they were almost at the village chief’s house, Wu Haoming immediately closed his mouth.
Chi Shuyan realized that she and Ruan Shenglin indeed had quite the karma. Otherwise, how was it that she could run into him a second time? This time, however, she realized that Ruan Shenglin had actually brought his wife into this village.
Looking at Xu Tong’s bulging stomach, Chi Shuyan’s right eyelid twitched violently.
Xu Tong also saw Master Chi at that moment and was excited. Her eyes lit up and she hurriedly called out, “Mas…”
She was so fast that Chi Shuyan didn’t have time to react. Fortunately, the man beside her suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist and interrupted Xu Tong. “Yan Yan, who is she?”
Given his looks and aura, even if Qi Zhenbai didn’t speak, he wasn’t someone with a weak presence. As soon as he spoke, he immediately drew everyone’s attention.
Ruan Shenglin and Xu Tong had been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and they had quite the discerning eye. The tall man next to Master Chi in front of them was definitely no ordinary person. Putting aside his looks, just his aura alone was enough to make Ruan Shenglin keep his silence even if the other party didn’t say anything.
Ruan Shenglin found his ‘cowardice’ inconceivable. In the end, he could only blame the man next to Master Chi for being too imposing and majestic. This was the first time he had been so meek.
Ruan Shenglin didn’t dare underestimate the man next to Master Chi at all. He was once again glad that he hadn’t offended Master Chi much before.
He made up his mind that even if he couldn’t get along with the other man, he absolutely couldn’t offend him wily-nily.
That was because his sixth sense told him that if he offended the other party, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Ruan Shenglin trusted his sixth sense.
Compared with the complicated feelings in Ruan Shenglin’s heart, Xu Tong’s were much simpler. Although she had been intimidated by the imposing manner of the tall man next to Master Chi at first, his face was simply too good-looking. He was born to attract women, and it was easy for him to gain their favor. So, Xu Tong had a good impression of the man next to Master Chi, and it was pure admiration for his good looks.
In the end, no matter how Xu Tong looked at the imposing man next to Master Chi, she felt that the two of them were really too compatible with each other. It was just that there seemed to be some age difference.
Xu Tong blinked inquisitively. If it wasn’t for the fact that the occasion wasn’t right, she would have blurted out a question about their relationship.
Chi Shuyan could tell from Xu Tong’s inquisitive gaze that she wanted to gossip, and the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but twitch. She was quite glad that the village chief was here. She reached out and wanted to move the hand on her waist away. Ever since the man grabbed her just now, Chi Shuyan’s body had subconsciously tensed up at his touch.
Qi Zhenbai seemed to sense his wife’s resistance. Without waiting for her to exert more strength, he let go of her like a gentleman and took the initiative to greet Ruan Shenglin and his wife. However, he was innately cold, so he only nodded in greeting.
For some reason, not only didn’t Ruan Shenglin and Xu Tong feel offended, they even felt flattered. They felt that the man next to Master Chi was highborn, and they were in awe of him.
Xu Tong was about to speak, when Ruan Shenglin recalled where they were and beat her to it. “Miss Chi, why are you here?”
The village chief who had been ignored wasn’t unhappy. Instead, he chuckled at that moment and suddenly asked, “Do all of you know each other?”
Chi Shuyan never let down her guard. When the village chief spoke, she didn’t forget the matter at hand. She also smiled and got straight to the point. “Village Chief Pan, some of us will probably be away for a few days. Can we put off inviting in the True Buddha Lord until then?”
