I stormed down the mountain, took down all the big shots in the city, and the female CEO dragged me

"You country bumpkin, do you want to die?"

Xiao Zuo's bodyguard was the first to step forward.

They had followed Xiao Zuo for many years and had never seen anyone so reckless as to say that Xiao Zuo was a fool.

"If you're not stupid, how could you be so easily fooled by someone else's little tricks?"

With a smile on her lips, Xu Yuan pointed to the Qi-Nourishing Pill in Xiao Zuo's hand.

"It's not easy to make this thing. Putting aside the medicinal herbs and such, the amount of energy it consumes is beyond what ordinary people can bear."

Don't let yourself be fooled like that.

"Young friend, what do you mean?" Master Zhou realized that Xu Yuan's words were implying that he was being referred to.

"Are you saying I'm lying to President Xiao?"

"Everyone saw what just happened, so was it fake?"

"Little kid, if you don't know, don't talk nonsense, or you'll lose your life."

The last sentence was said politely, but the murderous intent was already revealed.

"That's right, is our Master Zhou someone you can question?" General Manager Zhao interjected, turning to look at Li Quanyou.

"Dean Li, you brought these people, aren't you going to say a few words?"

"For your sake, I can forgive what he said before."

If he continues to be so rude, don't blame me for being disrespectful.

As soon as he finished speaking, the bodyguard behind President Zhao stepped forward and showed his ferocity towards Xu Yuan.

Li Quanyou chuckled and said, "I've already said we're not close."

"Since young friend Xu has already said it, I'm also quite curious as to why he said it that way?"

Otherwise, let young friend Xu explain it more clearly.

"If he says he's ignoring you, it's not too late to get anxious."

Xu Yuan put one hand behind his back and smiled.

"I knew this old bastard was up to no good. He was just waiting for me to do his dirty work."

Mr. Zhao and Master Zhou exchanged glances and nodded slightly.

"Alright, let's see what this young friend can say?"

If it's nonsense...

Mr. Zhao paused for a moment: "Don't blame us for bullying you."

"Oh no, oh no, this is terrible, what do we do?"

Tam tugged at Ye Xiaoyuan's sleeve, acting more womanly than a woman herself.

"This guy really knows how to get into trouble."

He offended several big shots as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I might end up losing my life here."

"Didn't he see Master Zhou's methods just now?"

"The white mist rising out of thin air—that must be the work of a deity."

Ye Xiaoyuan clenched her fists silently, without saying a word, and watched as Xu Yuan stepped forward and stood in front of President Zhao.

Are you sure you want me to say it?

"I wouldn't dare say, but you can leave now," Mr. Zhao said confidently.

With Master Zhou by my side, I can only wish that some young upstart could stir up a huge storm.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Xu Yuan suddenly turned around, walked to the open space in the middle, and pointed to the bloodstains on the ground.

"He's right, there are indeed demons and evil spirits in this place."

"Do you need to repeat yourself? Master Zhou has already said it."

"If you're going to say things like that, you should go somewhere cool and stay somewhere else," Mr. Zhao laughed loudly.

Xu Yuan, with a calm expression, continued, "This Master Zhou's methods are indeed quite impressive."

Mr. Zhao proudly raised his chin, as if to say, "Do you even need to tell me this?"

"but…"

Xu Yuan then changed the subject: "It's just a stopgap measure, not a fundamental solution."

"What? Are you crazy?"

"You call Master Zhou's creation of fog out of thin air just a trick?" President Zhao disagreed.

"Why do you say that?" Xiao Zuo asked curiously.

After all, it's his own property development, and he's most afraid that if something like this happens again, he won't be able to sell it at all.

"It looks fine for now, but it will return to its original state when it gets dark."

This means that, as you've mentioned, strange events have occurred.

"Impossible, you're talking nonsense." President Zhao's tone was loud, clearly anxious, as if he had been hit where it hurt.

Master Zhou opened his squinted eyes and looked at Xu Yuan properly for the first time.

He was right.

"Whether I'm lying or not, you can come and verify it tonight if you have the patience."

Xu Yuan was full of confidence, and he caught the fleeting hint of guilt on Master Zhou's and General Manager Zhao's faces just now.

It seems these two have an even bigger conspiracy.

"Are you telling the truth?" Xiao Zuo seemed to believe him and took back the Qi-Nourishing Pill he was about to hand out.

The Qi-Nourishing Pill belonged to his family, but he stole it.

If the issue isn't resolved before it's sent out, we'll lose both our money and our resources.

Unable to answer his question, Xu Yuan continued, "The evil spirits here are not left by the workers who died before, but by someone deliberately setting up an evil spirit gathering array."

"At night, the wandering ghosts and vengeful spirits seem to be summoned and spontaneously come this way."

Because within the formation, they can receive nourishment, just like people always like to go where they feel comfortable.

"A 'Gathering Yin Array of Evil Spirits'?" Xiao Zuo had never heard of it before and looked at Master Zhou and Master Yang.

Master Yang seemed to have heard of this formation before, but he had never actually seen it.

As for Master Zhou, his face was ugly, and a sinister light in his eyes fell on Xu Yuan. A murderous aura spread around him, clearly indicating that his conspiracy had been exposed.

"Then what were those two lantern-like eyes just now?" Xiao Zuo pressed.

"It's just a smokescreen." Xu Yuan reached out to Master Zhou: "Could I borrow your wine jug for a moment?"

Master Zhou stared coldly at him: "How could I possibly lend you my magical artifacts?"

"See, I don't need to say anything more, do I?"

"If you have nothing to hide, what is there to be ashamed of?"

This is a sign of a guilty conscience.

"You're talking nonsense."

Enraged, General Manager Zhao waved to the security guard beside him: "Throw this country bumpkin spouting nonsense out of here."

"Look, he's getting anxious."

Xu Yuan smiled broadly, as if nothing had happened and he could still laugh.

"When a liar is exposed, their first reaction is to try to cover up the lie."

"you…"

Mr. Zhao's finger, pointing at Xu Yuan, trembled slightly.

He had originally planned perfectly with Master Zhou that during the day he would pretend to help Xiao Zuo resolve the evil spirit incident at the property development, earn some money from him, and take away the Qi-Nourishing Pill.

When strange events occurred at the property development that night, Xiao Zuo found them again, and General Manager Zhao took the opportunity to lower the price and buy Xiao Zuo's entire property development.

He could then aggressively negotiate a lower price, get a huge bargain, and gain a tremendous favor from Xiao Zuo, who would then thank him.

Now look what's happened, a wish suddenly appears out of nowhere, ruining his long-term plan.

"What are you standing there for? Didn't you hear me?" Boss Zhao shouted at the bodyguards behind him, who then prepared to step forward.

"Oh no, oh no, what do we do?" Tam started muttering again, "That guy's going to be in big trouble."

Li Quanyou stood firmly in place, calmly watching everything unfold, with no intention of making a move.

Killing Xu Yuan was exactly what he wanted, saving him the trouble of doing it himself and getting a bad reputation.

Master Yang and Boss Gu exchanged glances, neither of them intending to step forward and help.

They had seen Master Zhou's methods before, and they couldn't possibly offend him for the sake of a little kid.
