Chapter 17 Good Fortune
Half an hour later, Mr. Li arrived.
"Mr. Li, what happened today?"
I didn't stand on ceremony and asked directly.
Mr. Li took out a cigarette, lit it, took a couple of puffs, and said, "Master Feng, I went back to Hedong a while ago!"
"And then?" I asked.
"My good nephew sold himself for a good price!" Mr. Li said with a wry smile.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"The meaning is simple: he found a good master, and thanks to this master, almost all of my people have been driven out of the group. Even I am now in a precarious situation!" President Li sighed and said, "I can guess what he'll do next. He won't stop until he's completely annihilated me!"
"What does this have to do with you wanting to see Hua Zong?" I asked.
"My good nephew can find a master, so can I!" said Mr. Li.
"So, you want to find Hua Zong to be your backer?" I asked.
"yes!"
Mr. Li exhaled a smoke ring.
"If that's the case, why did Boss Hua still make you kneel down, and why was Li Li beaten?" I was a little confused.
"I have no connections!"
Mr. Li said with a wry smile, "Master Feng, don't let my wealth of over a billion fool you. I may act all high and mighty, even calling internet tycoons like Mr. Yang 'brother,' but that's where it ends!"
"All my connections are in Hedong. My nephew's master is too powerful; all my connections are useless in front of him!"
"That time I approached President Yang, hoping to use his connections to find someone. But President Yang has always disliked getting involved in these kinds of troubles. He's fine with eating, drinking, and having fun, but nothing else!"
"After searching high and low, the only person I could contact was Third Master Hua!"
"So you were punished by kneeling because you dragged Hua Zong into this mess?" I asked.
"no!"
Mr. Li shook his head and said, "Master Feng, I won't lie to you, even if it's Master Hua, I'll have to take a roundabout approach if I want to get in touch with him!"
"The woman you saw at the villa today is Xiao Jinyu, known as the top socialite in Beijing!"
"A socialite?"
I pondered the word for a moment, then asked, "She's not Hua Zong's first wife, is she?"
"No, she's Hua Zong's concubine!"
Mr. Li shook his head and said, "Given Third Master Hua's background, how could he possibly marry a woman from an actress's family as his legal wife!"
"However, neither Master Hua's first wife nor his other concubines had sons; only she gave birth to a son!"
"She gained status because of her son!"
"I've been studying her for a while now!"
"She's a woman who loves luxury, cares about her image, and enjoys flattery. Although she's ruthless, she's not that cunning; she's just a bit clever!"
"Dealing with a woman like that is actually quite easy; just cater to her tastes!"
"She likes to organize banquets, show off, and engage in fake charity. I originally planned to use this to get close to her and have her introduce me to Master Hua, but plans don't always go as expected!"
"My nephew laid a hand on me!"
"Mr. Li, after all you've said, I still don't understand what you did to make Ms. Hua kneel down as punishment!" I said.
I'm not really curious about the fact that Mr. Hua has several concubines. These days, let alone those with power and influence, even some capable people in the village have wives at home and mistresses on the side.
Mr. Li exhaled a smoke ring and said, "Recently, Aunt Xiao's son has fallen ill. They've seen countless doctors, but Western medicine hasn't helped much, and traditional Chinese medicine can't cure him. She's extremely worried!"
"Later, someone suggested that she should have a 'lucky marriage' to cure her son's illness, so she searched all over the world for a girl whose birth chart was compatible with her son's!"
"So, you plan to marry Li Li off to her son to bring him good luck and cure his illness!" I suddenly realized what President Li was planning to do.
The practice of using auspicious stars to cure illness has existed since ancient times. From the perspective of Bazi (Four Pillars of Destiny), if a patient's spouse palace or children palace has auspicious stars, marriage can activate their good fortune and improve their health.
In addition, if the birth charts of husband and wife complement each other, they can counteract the illness star.
In my opinion, Hua Zong's son hasn't reached the point of needing to bring good fortune.
The capital city is full of hidden talents and has no shortage of good traditional Chinese medicine doctors.
Leaving aside others, just take that old Liu, I believe he can cure Hua Zong's son.
The reason it wasn't cured is simple: they were too afraid to take any medicine.
For them, not being able to cure their illness will not affect their status or have any other impact on them.
But given the situation of Hua Zong's son, if the drug is too weak, it won't have any effect; if it's too strong, and something bad happens, not to mention Hua Zong, Xiao Jinyu, his concubine, will definitely hate them to death.
The main problem is that Hua Zong's son is only eight years old, too young and too weak. His body can hardly withstand the effects of some potent drugs.
This is the main reason why they dare not administer the drug.
Furthermore, given Hua Zong's status, he only has access to established figures who are extremely cautious about their personal safety.
They don't need to take that risk.
Young people might be willing to take a gamble for their future, but for the older folks, there's no need to take such a risk at all.
And so, Hua Zong's son's illness was left untreated.
"right!"
Mr. Li nodded.
"Are Li Li's birth charts compatible with Hua Zong's son's?" I asked curiously.
"Not compatible!" President Li shook his head.
"Why did you bring Li Li along if it's not a good match?" I was a little puzzled.
"I forged Li Li's birth date and time!" President Li said.
"What?" I thought I had misheard.
"I forged Li Li's birth chart based on the girl's birth chart that Aunt Xiao asked for!" President Li repeated.
"President Li, President Li, aren't you treating President Hua like a fool by doing this?" I found it a bit unbelievable. President Li is a very shrewd person, how could he do something so stupid?
"I was desperate and would try anything!"
Mr. Li smiled wryly, "I didn't think that much about it at the time. I specifically asked someone to change Li Li's file, thinking that would be foolproof, but I didn't expect it to still be discovered!"
"You didn't find out by checking the files, did you?" I asked thoughtfully.
"no!"
Mr. Li shook his head and said, "Third Master Hua has a feng shui master by his side. After I led Li Li over, he glanced at Li Li's appearance and compared it with Third Master Hua's son. He said that judging from their facial features, Li Li is not good for Third Master Hua's son, and that the birth chart might be fake!"
"After listening, Master Hua told me to tell him myself whether it was a fabrication or not!"
"I wanted to explain myself at the time, but forgery always leaves traces. With the power of Master Hua's family, they can definitely find out if they want to!"
"I have no choice but to accept it!"
Mr. Li said with a wry smile, "Actually, when that feng shui master appeared, I already knew it wouldn't work, but it was too late!"
"And then you were forced to kneel?" I asked.
"yes!"
Mr. Li nodded and said, "Being forced to kneel is a minor matter; Xiao Li also got slapped several times by Aunt Xiao. I was very worried that Xiao Li would remember that incident!"
I shook my head, somewhat speechless.
Mr. Li handled this matter very poorly.
