Chen Yu’s words were getting stranger and stranger.
Gao Xinran and Wang Dequan were dumbfounded.
What did he mean by having bad intentions but not much?
What did he mean by preparing to be a hero by saving the damsel in distress? “Mr. Wang, take a closer look at this statue,” reminded Chen Yu. “Think about it. Doesn’t this statue look a little familiar?”
Hearing this, Wang Dequan braced himself and looked at the statue.
“Huh, it does look a little familiar.”
After a minute or two, Wang Dequan frowned and rubbed his chin. He muttered to himself, “I feel like I’ve seen this dark thing somewhere before. I can’t remember where I’ve seen it for a while.”
“Two years ago,” Chen Yu said, raising two fingers.
“Oh!”
Wang Dequan slapped his forehead. He finally remembered.
Under Chen Yu’s guidance, Wang Dequan recalled an incident from two years ago.
At that time, he brought many of the group’s senior executives overseas for negotiations for the sake of his medicinal herb export business.
They completed a series of business negotiations.
The host arranged for them to visit the famous scenic spots in the country, and Wang Dequan saw this statue at one of them.
The scenic spot was a temple with a long history. There were a large number of gods worshipped inside.
The statues all bared their teeth and looked ugly.
They were completely different from the kind and amiable gods they had back in the country.
After visiting for a while, Wang Dequan couldn’t stand it anymore.
They believed that this was not a temple, but the 18 levels of hell.
The gods worshipped inside were not gods, but ghosts from hell.
“At that time, you used the excuse that you weren’t feeling well,” Chen Yu said.
“You said that you wanted to go out and get some fresh air.”
“The reception team arranged for a tour guide to accompany you out for a breath of fresh air while the rest continued the tour.”
“They didn’t come out of the temple until an hour later.”
“Yes, there was such a thing.”
Wang Dequan started to complain.
“I don’t know what’s so good about those things. My subordinates were watching with great interest.”
Wang Dequan, who was born in the countryside, had an inherent impression of gods.
The proper gods in his heart were all kind and amiable.
Some were awe-inspiring and had stern expressions.
If the God of Five Paths had revealed its hideous appearance back then, Wang
Dequan might have thrown its statue into the mountains the next day.
Now that he thought about it, Wang Dequan felt a little regretful.
It wasn’t that he regretted abandoning the statue.
Instead, he regretted throwing it into the sea.
Why didn’t he just throw it into Kimchi Nation?
Two days ago, a university in Kimchi Nation announced that after examining olden literature, they found that traditional medicine was actually invented by their country.
Later, it was stolen by the neighboring country and became the so-called Chinese traditional medicine.
As a big shot in the local medicine industry, the more Wang Dequan heard, the angrier he became.
If he could turn back time, he would definitely send someone to bring his cursed statue into Kimchi Nation.
He would throw it into the research university that claimed that traditional medicine originated in their country.
“Mr. Wang,” Chen Yu continued, “you have an inherent impression of deities.”
“A proper god should be either kind or solemn, but others don’t think so.” “Especially the general manager of the company.”
“The general manager also knows that you got rich because of the protection of spiritual artifacts and statues.”
“He followed suit and bought a god statue to protect and increase his fortune.”
“So, you mean that the general manager bought this Evil God of Wealth for himself in the beginning?” Gao Xinran interjected and asked.
“Yes.” Chen Yu nodded. “He bought this Evil God of Wealth behind Mr. Wang’s back. He originally planned to keep it at home and increase his fortune.”
“Later, he learned from the local tour guide that there are many taboos in worshiping this Evil God of Wealth.”
“It can’t be placed in a room, nor can it be placed in a shrine. It must be placed in an open place where the sun shines daily.”
“In short, there are many taboos. If you’re not careful, you’ll bring bad luck to yourself.”
“It was also at this time that he had some evil thoughts.”
“Not only does he know that Mr. Wang has a hobby in this area, but he also knows that Ms. Gao has a hobby in this area.”
“How did he know?”
Gao Xinran asked in confusion.
Gao Xinran was sure that she had never told anyone about her hobby.
And every time she bought a statue, she didn’t borrow anyone else’s hands.
She had bought them all herself.
Even the servants in the villa did not know about these things.
“There’s a saying,” Chen Yu smiled bitterly. “If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it.”
“Ms. Gao, there’s no such thing as an airtight wall in the world.”
While listening to Chen Yu’s reply, Gao Xinran observed her surroundings.
“Dr. Chen, there’s something I can’t figure out.”
Gao Xinran obtained this Evil God of Wealth from the general manager over a year ago.
The general manager did not expose Gao Xinran’s hobby of collecting idols.
He only said that it was a souvenir he brought back from abroad.
His words revealed that this statue could bless others to become rich and noble.
Then, he found an excuse to give the statue to Gao Xinran.
He had received this statue more than a year ago, and it was only a year later that something happened.
In the meantime, neither his body nor the company’s business were affected.
“Among the many taboos,” Chen Yu explained, “there’s still one more taboo.
The Evil God of Wealth cannot be placed together with other god statues.” “There are at least 400 god statues here, right?”
“Most of them are our country’s gods. Do you think these local gods will let an outsider harm you?”
“Uh…”
Gao Xinran’s brain cells were running out.
What was this?
Did the local gods gather together to protect her?
She was quite touched just thinking about it.
Wang Dequan reacted and asked, “Dr. Chen, this statue didn’t affect Ms. Gao before because the local gods collectively protected her. Is that true?”
“You can understand it that way.”
Chen Yu replied with a smile.
“Ms. Gao is very devoted to these statues.”
“On every 15th day of the first lunar month, she would kowtow respectfully to them.”
“As the saying goes, if you are sincere, you will be enlightened. Many of these statues have special, positive energy.”
“Positive energy and negative energy collide, and the result is plus minus zero.”
“Nothing happened to her for quite some time.”
Wang Dequan nodded in a half-understanding manner.
The positive energy Chen Yu was referring to should be the spiritual energy, or spirituality, on the god statues.
With the help of these statues, the Evil God of Wealth’s baleful aura did not affect Gao Xinran.
Wang Dequan immediately thought of another question. “Dr. Chen, since these god statues are imbued with positive energy, how do you explain Xinran’s current situation?”
“Before 1 explain the trouble Ms. Gao is in, let me explain the general manager’s plan to you.”
Chen Yu started from the beginning.
The general manager assumed that Wang Dequan and Gao Xinran’s business was getting bigger and bigger because they were collecting and worshiping god statues.
The general manager was greatly shocked by this.
He believed there were definitely immortals, ghosts, and so-called supernatural beings in this world.
Once one’s worldview changed, they would do something unexpected.
This general manager was no different..
