Dream Walker: Feng Shui Master Bai Ya

Without water, without fire, withered wood, and withered metal generating water, the feng shui layout is in chaos. Even without using his "mind's eye to observe qi," Shang Muchen can see that the Pengpai Building is about to be in big trouble.

The property manager led Uncle Si and Shang Muchen around the Pengpai Building, which was decorated in a magnificent gold style but looked somewhat outdated, like a high-end and expensive VCD player, before entering through the main entrance.

Upon entering, in the center of the huge hall with a ceiling height of tens of meters, one is greeted by a magnificent and enormous relief of a world map.

The relief is decorated with five-colored clay, with yellow loess used in the central part, making it extremely grand and awe-inspiring.

If he hadn't come here with his fourth uncle to observe the feng shui, Shang Muchen would have loved to take a picture, check in, and post it on his WeChat Moments to show off.

Seeing the relief, Fourth Uncle nodded and muttered to himself, "As long as the Central Plains remain undisturbed, even if the surrounding areas are unstable, they can be repaired."

Just then, the elevator on the east side of the lobby sounded, and a group of people came out, chattering away.

Shang Muchen immediately recognized that walking in the middle of the group was "Shorty" Wu Biao and his father, whom he had met at the banquet a few days earlier.

Several men wearing the same executive jackets as the property manager were talking to Wu Biao's father.

Wu Biao spotted Shang Muchen at a glance, nudged his father, and gestured with his lips toward Shang Muchen.

Old Man Wu stopped in his tracks, saw his fourth uncle and Shang Muchen, and turned around to walk over.

"Master Shang! It's a pleasure to meet you!" Old Man Wu Biao greeted him loudly, feigning enthusiasm. "What a coincidence! What a wonderful coincidence!"

"Oh, Mr. Wu! It's a pleasure to meet you!" Fourth Uncle also stepped forward and shook hands warmly with Old Man Wu Biao.

"Oh, you two know each other?" Manager Liang asked.

"Of course, we're all in the same boat, we're bound to run into each other again, haha," Uncle Si said with a laugh.

"Mr. Wu's company is the top in the national security industry. He catches thieves by day and ghosts by night. There is no formation that Mr. Wu cannot break, and no client that Mr. Wu cannot protect."

"If the King of Hell wants someone to die at midnight, Mr. Wu dares to guarantee they'll live to see dawn!"

"Hey, Master Shang, don't flatter me!" Wu Biao's father said with a slight smile.

"Our family has simply been in the business of 'bodyguards' for generations, from the late Ming Dynasty to this generation. It's just that it's been passed down for a long time."

When it comes to the inheritance of skills, it's like a weasel giving birth to mice—each generation is worse than the last.

My foolish son Wu Biao is far inferior to your esteemed nephew Shang Muchen, Master Shang!

As he spoke, Wu Biao's father rolled his eyes at "shorty" Wu Biao.

Wu Biao's eyes widened in anger as he glared at Shang Muchen.

Shang Muchen sighed inwardly, knowing that Wu Biao was jealous of him, and that it wasn't worth arguing with the father and son in this situation, so he remained silent.

Old Man Wu Biao continued, "Master Shang, are you also here about the Pengpai Building?"

"Oh? Mr. Wu, you also..." Uncle Si rubbed his bald head and asked, "Could it be...?"

"Hmm, it seems you noticed." Old Man Wu nodded and stepped aside to introduce, "This is Manager Pang, the security manager of Pengpai Building. He's the one who called me over to help."

The security team at the Pengpai Building was originally dispatched by our Tongcheng Security Group, but we have strengthened the security team since that incident a few days ago.

"Look, I sent my son, Wu Biao, to personally oversee security at the Pengpai Building. Today, I'm bringing him here to take over."

"Manager Pang, hello." Uncle Si shook hands with the security manager of Pengpai Building, but the man seemed indifferent and hostile.

After exchanging a few more polite words, the two went their separate ways. Uncle Si and Shang Muchen followed the property manager to his office.

As soon as he entered the house, the property manager apologized to Uncle Si: "Master Shang, I guess you've already noticed that Old Pang from the security department doesn't get along with me."

Therefore, please forgive him if he is rude to you in any way.

"Hmm, I can tell. What's wrong? Do you two have a grudge?"

"It's not about a holiday, it's just... well, to be honest," Manager Liang said, having his secretary bring tea and inviting Uncle Si and Shang Muchen to sit on the sofa.

"Old Pang and I belong to two different factions in the company."

I was personally promoted by the former chairman. Originally, I was just a floor cleaner for Mr. Sun. He saw that I was serious and meticulous in my work, and after more than ten years of training, he gradually promoted me from a grassroots maintenance worker to my current position.

Old Pang from the security department is a professional soldier and an underling of General Manager Liu Mingquan. He used to be Liu Mingquan's driver.

As you may have heard, after Tianlu Group acquired a stake in Pengpai Group, Liu Mingquan took over the company as a director and general manager, and also brought Lao Pang from his original company to become the security manager of Pengpai Group.

Therefore, I am quite unfamiliar with Lao Pang. Although we often have some business dealings, they are mostly official business and we have no personal relationship.

Similarly, there is still some distance between the original cadres and employees of Pengpai Group and those who were later merged from Tianlu Group, and they are not able to integrate together.

The old chairman is getting on in years and his health isn't very good. He's too lazy to deal with these details, so many things have just been put on hold until today.

"Yes, these things happen often, it's not surprising." Uncle Si took a sip of tea, nodded, and then asked, "What was the 'incident' that Dwarf Wu mentioned earlier?"

"Oh dear, I haven't had a chance to tell you the details of that matter yet." Manager Liang shook his head repeatedly, looking embarrassed, and said, "Sigh, it happened at the beginning of last month."

In the securities underwriting department, there was a female employee who had just joined the company not long ago. What was her name again...? Wang, Wang something-Lin.

The girl had just graduated from abroad; she had excellent grades and was very ambitious.

However, he hadn't been working there long when he committed suicide by jumping off the rooftop. He fell to his death onto a platform on the third floor side. It was so tragic…

At this point, Manager Liang sighed repeatedly and shook his head.

After regaining his composure, Manager Liang continued, "Her death has thrown the already wavering morale in the company into even greater chaos."

Some say she jumped because she was harassed by her department head;

Some say she was scammed by a client who used her credit as collateral to sign a large order, but the client skipped out on the bill, and she couldn't afford to pay, so she jumped off the building.

I don't know the truth. As the general manager, Liu Mingquan personally suppressed the matter, forbidding anyone from mentioning it or the media from spreading it.

It's said that they spent tens of millions on public relations just to suppress public opinion.

"Such a thing is true? This is truly tragic!" Uncle Si shook his head repeatedly.

Manager Liang continued, "The matter isn't over yet."

The death of Wang Shilin wasn't the end of it; they started making a scene.

Rumor has it that the security department captured her ghostly figure wandering around the company corridors late at night, and some people even saw her in the elevator when they came out of work late at night. In short, she's really scary.

This kind of thing spreads like wildfire, with rumors circulating. Even if Liu Mingquan slams his fist on the table, he can't silence the thousands of people in the company. It's inevitable that people will pass the word around.

"Oh, I remember now, the girl who jumped off the building was Wang Ruolin, who had studied at Keio University."
