Chapter 487 Zhuang Xuanji
After prescribing the medicine, the two did not linger and took their leave.
"You lunatic, something's wrong with these two!"
As soon as the two of them left, Fatty Lin immediately came over and said, "Those eyes, those movements... if those two haven't slept together, I'll change my mind!"
"I think that's not right either!"
This time I didn't argue with Fatty Lin. "These two act like this in front of us; who knows what they're doing behind our backs!"
"When Brother Hu was in a car accident, Boss Nong suspended all projects to stay with him during his recovery and helped him with the aftermath. This kind of behavior goes far beyond the usual friendship between a boss and an employee!"
Long Nier continued.
"Chirp!"
Little Ba nodded his head in agreement.
We gossiped about their relationship for a while and then stopped worrying about it.
The next few days were uneventful. On Tuesday morning, we boarded a plane to Hong Kong Island.
After getting off the plane, the fourth wife personally came to pick him up.
"Ni'er, are you alright?"
Upon seeing us, Fourth Aunt ignored the two of us brothers and went to Long Nier first, carefully examining her.
"Sister, I'm fine. My brother has been making me nourishing soup every day for the past two weeks, and I've recovered!" Long Nier said with a smile.
"It's alright, it's alright!" Fourth Aunt breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister Ling, aren't you worried about me and Crazy?" Fatty Lin said, feigning jealousy.
"You two are tough as nails, what do I have to worry about?" Fourth Aunt rolled her eyes, affectionately putting her arm around Long Ni'er's, and said, "Let's go, Ni'er, ignore them!"
"Mmm!" Long Nier nodded obediently, showing no sign that she was the living devil who had tormented Wu Peiwen, the number one feng shui master of the Hong Kong underworld, to the point of near death.
After getting in the car, we went directly to the mansion of gambling tycoon Lui in Repulse Bay.
As always, upon returning, the first thing to do after getting out of the car was to take the pulse of Gambling King Lu.
Lui, the gambling king, is in good health and has no problems.
"Thirteen, you handled Wu Peiwen's matter very well. If you hadn't dealt with this troublesome guy, anyone would have dared to come looking for trouble!"
After taking his pulse, I was about to leave when Gambling King Lü spoke up.
"Boss, that's what we thought too, otherwise we wouldn't have gone to such lengths!" Fatty Lin said.
"If you're not ruthless, you can't stand firm. To survive in a place like Hong Kong, being ruthless, or rather, instilling fear, is crucial!" Gambling King Lu glanced at us and said, "You did very well. Don't worry too much about the Xuanmen Association; it's not a monolithic entity!"
"The Xuanmen Association wouldn't have intervened this time if it weren't for the fear of discouraging the morale of its followers!"
"Your requests are excellent. Building schools is a virtuous act. In that case, I will donate to build another twenty schools, making a total of fifty. It will be a small token of my appreciation!"
"Thank you, boss!" Fatty Lin and I quickly expressed our gratitude.
"I thank the boss on behalf of the children!" Long Ni'er also expressed her gratitude.
Lu the Gambling King waved his hand dismissively and looked at Fourth Wife, saying, "Angela, Zhuang Xuanji has been waiting for a while, so I won't show myself. You take Thirteen and the others to talk to him!"
"Oh, right, call Shishi over!"
"Okay, boss!"
Fourth Aunt nodded, gave us a look, and led us out of the study.
After we came out, Fourth Wife nodded to Shishi, the nurse who was waiting outside, and said, "Go on, the boss is waiting for you!"
"Um!"
Shishi nodded obediently, knocked lightly on the door, and then pushed it open to enter.
The moment the door opened, I glanced back and saw that when Lu the gambling king saw Shishi go in, his face beamed like a chrysanthemum.
The door was closed the next moment.
I didn't say anything, I just shook my head to myself. Gambling King Lu is old in years but young in heart. There's a saying, "A man is a boy until he dies."
Zhuang Xuanji is the vice president of the Hong Kong Island Xuanmen Association. On the way back, Fourth Aunt told us about this person.
This person is a veteran in the Hong Kong feng shui circle. His ancestors were from the Imperial Observatory of the Qing Dynasty. Like Li Donglin's ancestors, they came to Hong Kong Island in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China and have been rooted in Hong Kong Island for more than 100 years.
After more than a hundred years of development, although the family still carries the name of a Feng Shui family, they have long since transformed into landlords.
According to the fourth wife, the landlord can earn tens of millions of yuan a year just from renting the properties he owns.
There are many landlords like the "bookmaker" on Hong Kong Island.
Upon learning that we were returning today, Zhuang Xuanji came to our door early in the morning.
To give this guy a break, Gambling King Lu arranged for him to stay in a side room.
Upon arriving at the side hall, we met Zhuang Xuanji.
Zhuang Xuanji was in his early sixties, dressed in a dark blue Tang suit with subtle patterns. His gentle features and calm demeanor exuded an aura of someone who had long studied metaphysics. Coupled with his meticulously combed white hair, he possessed what is commonly known as an ethereal quality, giving people a sense of trustworthiness.
As we entered, he glanced at us, then stood up, nodded to the fourth wife who was leading the group, and said, "Fourth Wife!"
After greeting Fourth Aunt, he bowed slightly to us and said, "The three of you must be Master Feng Shisan, Daoist Lin Xuanjing, and Ms. Long Nier. I am Zhuang Xuanji, the Vice President of the Hong Kong Xuanmen Association."
"President Zhuang, you're too kind!"
You can't hit someone who's smiling, and Zhuang Xuanji had no problem with manners, so the three of us returned the greeting.
After we sat down, Zhuang Xuanji looked at us sincerely and said, "I'm here today on behalf of the chairman to mediate between us!"
At this point, he paused and said, "Wu Peiwen acts in a sinister manner, raising evil spirits and spreading malevolent influences to harm people. He violated the rules of the Xuanmen sect and suffered a backlash. This is divine retribution, and I will not defend him in the slightest."
This is interesting; it directly puts a label on Wu Peiwen, and he has no choice but to take the blame.
In fact, we all know very well that it was not Wu Peiwen who orchestrated the scheme to harm us.
We don't punish the diligent, nor the lazy; we only punish those who are blind to reason. Who told Wu Peiwen to stick his neck out for Yu Yuan's sake!
Judging from Zhuang Xuanji's expression, he hadn't finished speaking, so none of us interrupted him, wanting to see what he would say next.
"However, in the Xuanmen sect, it is important to leave a way out; exterminating everyone is not the way of the world. The Wu family is willing to sincerely apologize and make real good deeds to atone for their sins. They will fund the construction of thirty Hope Primary Schools in the mainland, with full funding, construction, and completion overseen by me and my fourth wife. Not a single penny will be misappropriated, and not a single school will be built with any shortcuts. All funds will be used to accumulate merit and atone for their sins."
As expected, Zhuang Xuanji changed the subject, transforming the conditions that were originally proposed by us into conditions that Wu Peiwen agreed to voluntarily.
Even after he said that, we remained silent.
"I, in my capacity as Vice President of the Hong Kong Xuanmen Association, am willing to vouch for you."
Seeing that we hadn't given in, Zhuang Xuanji continued, "From this day forward, the Wu Peiwen family is forbidden from engaging in any activities related to evil spirits, raising ghosts, or using underhanded feng shui methods. If they dare to violate the rules of the Xuanmen again, I, Zhuang Xuanji, will be the first to not tolerate them, even without your intervention."
Having said that, both substance and face have been given.
