I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"Brother Qin, what exactly happened?"

"Do you know what this thing is for?"

"Why did Butler Ding hide this here?"

"Wouldn't it be more effective if I put it in my father's bedroom?"

The object inside the pillar was completely removed; it was a transparent glass bottle, exactly the same as the one hidden in the large vase in Hong Zhendong's office.

Han Chongli felt a chill run down his spine after just one glance and dared not look at it a second time.

"We'll have to ask Butler Ding for the specific purpose."

The Hehuan Sect's lineage includes methods for demonic cultivators to use evil spiritual energy to captivate people's minds. Nowadays, people cannot cultivate spiritual energy, so it's quite ingenious that they could think of using Kumanthong (a type of spirit doll) to accumulate evil energy.

"This thing is called a Kumanthong. It has a lot of resentment and can affect a person's mind."

"Prolonged exposure to it may lead to mental manipulation and control by the person behind it, but the success rate is not very high."

"Putting it in a room would definitely enhance the effect, but it would also be more easily noticed!"

"Steward Ding chose this place because he thought it would be easier to carry out his schemes here. The ancestral hall is a place where yin energy gathers, and you often come and go from here, so the effect won't be too different."

Qin Ge patiently explained, "Your father often stays in this pavilion, so he is most affected. Steward Ding's main target should also be him."

"The day you had your accident, it was probably Butler Ding who tried to urge things on, to see if he could control your father's mind."

He glanced at Han Chongli and said, "You've been affected quite a bit too."

As Qin Ge spoke, she remembered Hong Zhendong, "By the way, you should know Hong Zhendong from the Qingshan Chamber of Commerce, right?"

"He has one of these in his office, and he seems to know something about them."

"You could meet and talk, exchange information, and perhaps you'll gain something."

Han Chongli was extremely surprised. "Chairman Hong has also encountered something like this?"

"It seems someone really is plotting something behind the scenes. Who could be so bold as to do this?"

"Brother Qin, what should we do with this?"

Qin Ge said bluntly, "Have someone cremate and bury him. Then you can offer incense for him. Before the cremation, it's best if anyone who previously lived in the Han family's ancestral home doesn't have any contact with him."

"Is that all?" Han Chongli was stunned for a moment. No wonder Qin Ge hadn't prepared anything. It was that simple.

The expert's method is truly simple!

"Brother Qin, thank you so much this time!"

He hesitated for a moment, then took out a bank card he had prepared beforehand. "There are 20 million in this card. Please accept it."

"If you ever need the Han family's help in the future, just let us know. From now on, Brother Qin, your affairs are the Han family's affairs!"

"Brother Qin, if you don't accept this, I'll be too embarrassed to ask you for help in the future!"

He hesitated because he felt that 20 million was not enough.

After experiencing the events of the past two days, Han Chongli finally understood why Shen Tingzhi and his wife valued Qin Ge so much.

However, he was overthinking things. Qin Ge readily accepted the bank card without the slightest hesitation.

After dealing with the matters concerning the Han family ancestral home, Qin Ge accepted Han Chongli's invitation to visit the Han family villa.

"Dad, what's wrong...?"

"Are you alright?!"

Han Chongli was startled to see his father, Han Qianyun, personally come out to greet him. When he left Donghai for Nanshan Village, his father was still bedridden, and the same situation was still present when he contacted his father at the Han family ancestral home.

How long has it been? How come he can suddenly walk on the ground?

Han Qianyun didn't actually have any serious illness; she was bedridden due to the influence of the Kumanthong and her advanced age.

The moment the Kuman Thong was cremated, he suddenly felt incredibly relaxed all over. He had been suffering from a poor appetite lately, and drank two large bowls of meat porridge, which greatly improved his mental state.

Han Qianyun had already learned everything that had happened at the Han family ancestral home from her son, Han Chongli, and was extremely shocked.

When he learned of Qin Ge's arrival, he immediately decided to go out and greet her personally, showing Qin Ge great respect and courtesy.

Just to be on the safe side, Han Chongli still asked Qin Ge to help take his father's pulse.

As Qin Ge had predicted, Han Qianyun was fine and just needed some rest.

Under the warm hospitality of the Han family, Qin Ge stayed for dinner before leaving.

"Dad, do you know anything about Butler Ding and Hong Zhendong?"

"Are you deliberately trying to keep Brother Qin from knowing?"

As soon as Qin Ge left, Han Chongli anxiously asked.

During the conversation, the topic of Hong Zhendong's similar experience and the identity of Butler Ding came up several times, but Han Qianyun skillfully changed the subject each time.

Han Chongli didn't know if Qin Ge had noticed anything, but he certainly did, and only had a chance to ask after Qin Ge left.

"It must be that person who's back!" Han Qianyun's eyes were deep. "It's not that I don't trust Xiao Qin, it's just that this matter has nothing to do with him, and there's no need to drag him into it."

"Hong Zhendong is not their target; their real target is Hu Qingshan!"

"What do you mean?" Han Chongli asked, looking bewildered. "Who's back?"

"Dad, please explain yourself clearly!"

Han Chongli suspected that his father might not be fully lucid yet, speaking to his own son in a daze and deliberately making things mysterious!

"What's meant to happen and what's not meant to happen will happen; we can only face it." Han Qianyun sighed. "Could you arrange a meeting with Hu Qingshan for me?"

......

"Brother Gua, you're back!" As soon as Qin Ge entered the door, Yang Xiaomeng heard the noise and immediately ran over excitedly.

Have you eaten? We didn't save any for you!

"I've already eaten..." Qin Ge rubbed his stomach, feeling a little hungry.

The Han family's meal was naturally lavish, but Qin Ge was still a bit reserved in that setting and ate until she was neither full nor hungry. Now that she was home, she was genuinely feeling hungry.

"You're not full, are you?" Yang Xiaomeng's eyes lit up instantly, as if Qin Ge not being full was a good thing for her!

"Then I'll make you some noodles!"

"Go ahead!" Qin Ge smiled indulgently; he could roughly understand Yang Xiaomeng's feelings.

Having just left home and moved to Donghai, and now living in such a large villa, I can't help but feel a little uneasy. Having something to do makes me feel more at ease.

"Little Melon's back!"

Qin Ge's parents were bored and were sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV.

Both of them had their backs pressed tightly against the sofa back, their heads tilted back as they tried to lean back as far as possible, as if trying to get as far away from the huge screen of the TV as possible.

Qin Ge found the scene both heartwarming and somewhat amusing. "Dad, Mom, are your rooms all tidied up?"

"There's nothing to tidy up." Jiang Xue got up and pulled her son to sit down. "We have everything here. Just make the bed and you can sleep."

After Qin Ge left, they toured the villa inside and out. It was fully furnished with furniture, appliances, and all kinds of daily necessities, and even the refrigerator was full!

Needless to say, Su Wan had arranged for these things to be prepared in advance.

"Little melon, are we really going to live here from now on?"

"You silly kid, you actually dared to accept such a big villa as a gift from someone?"
