Chapter 40 Heartbreak

  The underworld is now clearly putting the blame on Jiahe Building to become a fierce ghost building, and Fu Chuan has no choice but to take the blame. Fu Chuan doesn't want to take it, but he has to, otherwise, he really can't think of any other way out.

  He said to the oni, "I know those vengeful spirits and wild ghosts are all the ones you guys couldn't catch. This black oni wants me to take the blame for you."

  The ghostly figure gazed at Fu Chuan with an unblinking stare, but Fu Chuan was undaunted, thinking that the threat would make him surrender. "Alright, I can help you carry them, and even hand those ghosts over to you," he said, "but there's one thing I want to understand."

  The ghost let Fu Chuan have a fart and quickly release it, so Fu Chuan said: "I want to know the identity of the evil spirit in Jiahe Building." Although Fu Chuan knew some things in his heart, he had to know the definite answer, and this way didn't need Hui Ling to check, just ask them directly, save trouble.

  The ghost told Fu Chuan that the evil spirit was called Huāzi, and it came to China with its grandfather in the 1920s. They only told Fu Chuan this much, and he would have to investigate further himself. After all, information about ghosts from the underworld couldn't be revealed casually.

  Fuhe decided to take the blame, and he also decided that except for that evil spirit, he could let them capture other ghosts. "I have a request, on July 14th, I will catch those ownerless lonely souls, and you must let me see the ghost I want to see."

  The ghosts looked at each other, nodded in the end, and said that as long as Fu Qian could fulfill his promise, catch those ghosts for them, he could see whoever he wanted, they would bring them up to meet Fu Qian.

  Fuhe knew that he had been tricked by these cunning ghostly messengers and also knew that he alone could not complete this task, with so many ghosts, it was unknown when the monkey would be caught.

  At this time, Li Baobao had not left yet. She was still hiding with Ping'er in the dark, eavesdropping on their conversation. After the ghost catcher left, Li Baobao came out and asked Fu Chuan: "With so many ghosts, how are you going to catch them? You're injured now."

  Fu Chuan looked at Li Baobao, this woman had always been fond of him. Fu Chuan smiled wryly and said to Li Baobao: "Then Baobao will help out Shixiong."

  "I won't help!" Li Baobao pretended to be angry, but in fact she was really very angry. Seeing Fu Chuan getting hurt and still being arrogant, how could she not be angry?

  "I've never seen anyone as reckless as you, getting hurt yourself and still agreeing to take on such tasks from those ghostly messengers. You know so many ghosts, it's impossible for you to clean up the mess, do you know that?"

  Fu Xiang nodded and said: "Yes, Master knows, but what can be done?"

  Li Baobao said: "You should refuse, and then severely beat those ghostly officials who are taking advantage of you, and tell Yan Wang that his subordinates are extremely incompetent."

  Fu Xiang nodded, all these words he recognized as Li Baobao's, but: "Yes, what you said is right, but what help does it bring to this matter?"

  "Baby, this matter will be resolved eventually. The master brother only wants to ask you, are you going to help the master brother or not? Master brother is asking you for just one sentence."

  Fuhe would not refuse others, so Li Baobao had never refused Fuhe. Although Li Baobao felt uncomfortable in her heart and thought to let him catch it himself, don't pity Fuhe, but seeing Fuhe coughing twice in front of her, she couldn't bear it anymore.

  Fujiang looked at Li Baobao and said, "Baobao, help your brother?"

  When Li Baobao appeared in front of him, Fu Chuan had already decided whether to swallow his pride and ask for Li Baobao's help. He knew that things would inevitably come to this point, as there were too many ghosts in the Jiahe Building for him to catch alone. This time, he truly felt guilty towards Li Baobao.

  Fu Chuan walked up and asked again: "Baby, Shixiong is injured, will you help Shixiong?"

  Li Baobao shook her head and said she didn't know, actually Li Baobao really didn't know, Fu Chuan was a heartless person, she knew that Fu Chuan often took advantage of her.

  Fu Chuan always spoke sweet words to coax her, and it was true that he could coax people. However, Li Baobao knew that Fu Chuan also coaxed other women in the same way. She had known Fu Chuan for many years, and although they were not married, they understood each other better than some couples did. She also knew that Fu Chuan had relationships with many other women.

  When she was in Yunnan, she already knew that Fu Chuan's heart couldn't be completely devoted to her alone, but she was just a fool, wanting Fu Chuan to treat her well alone. But what Fu Chuan did in the end was just scolding her away. Even if he loved her in his heart, he couldn't bear such humiliation. Li Baobao also had her own pride.

  "I don't know if I should help you either." Li Baobao suddenly stopped crying and said sternly to Chuang, "Before Master died, he told me to stay away from you. He had already seen that you're not a good person and didn't want me to get hurt in the future."

  "Actually, I've wanted to tell you since I got back from Yunnan."

  Fu Chuan asked, "What do you want to say?" Fu Chuan didn't know if he could bear the words that Li Baobao was about to say. Li Baobao smiled and looked at Fu Chuan before saying, "In the future, I will forget you, I will listen to Master's words, find a good man for me, and then give birth to an heir for the Li family."

  Li Bao was truly heartbroken, and it was only then that he could say such words. When he heard that she was going to have a child with another man, Fu Chuan's heart was filled with resentment, and a mouthful of blood surged up his throat, but he suppressed it with his true energy.

  He smiled and said to Li Bao Bao: "This is good, our baby is growing up and should think about things for the future. If the baby meets someone he likes, his brother will definitely bless him. When the baby gets married, his brother will also give him a big gift."

  "Don't worry, I'll definitely find someone I like." Li Baobao raised her head, although she didn't know if this was Fu Chun's true intention or not. But Li Baobao was still annoyed by Fu Chun's nonchalant and uncaring expression. She had always known that Fu Chun cared more about other things than he did about her. She had only hoped that when Fu Chun heard her say this, he would show some concern for her, but she hadn't expected him to have such an expression. Li Baobao was truly heartbroken.

  But after careful consideration, Li Baobao thought that if she didn't help Fu Chuan, who else could? So Li Baobao couldn't bear it and said to Fu Chuan: "Thanks for your relationship, I think you'll be able to deliver that big gift to me soon. However, there's something you must know."

  Fu Chuan said: "You say."

  Li Baobao said: "I'll help you with this, I'll help you catch the ghost this time, but we need to discuss the price first."

  "Alright, name your price."

  Li Baobao told Ping'er to get the calculator ready, and he also carried a calculator with him every day. Li Baobao said: "One ghost is 12,000 yuan, and a more powerful one is 20,000 yuan. I can't help you collect them for free. Also, you still owe me money from before, which you need to pay back this time as well. I know your money is in the foundation, so I will apply to the foundation to transfer all your money to my account until you pay back what you owe me."

  Fu Chuan likes Li Baobao's appearance when talking about money with him, and also likes her calculating herself. There is no reason, he just likes it very much. Even if he knows that the price is exorbitant, and maybe one-third of the price can't be used even if he finds someone else, but he still likes Li Baobao to calculate with himself like this.

  He said, "Alright, I promise you. Go find Hu Lijin, she will give you my things." The thing Fu Chuan was referring to was the card that he had given to Hu Lijin, and every month the foundation's money would be deposited into that card.

  Fu Chuan said to Li Baobao: "Meet at the bottom of Jiahe Building three days later."

  "Okay." Li Baobao agreed.

  Fu Chuan said: "One word is settled."

  Li Baobao smiled disdainfully and walked away, she didn't want to shake hands with Fu Chuan at all. Ping'er had already calculated the price and quickly sent the bill to Fu Chuan, who readily signed it.

  Three sheep blocked Fu Chuan, looking at the unequal treaty in Fu Chuan's hand. Three sheep looked at his master with tears in his eyes, "Master, this can't be signed, if you sign it, you'll become a sinner of our Bao Fa Tang."

  San Yang feared that in the future, he wouldn't even have 100 yuan of pocket money per month. He looked at Fu Chuan, hoping that Fu Chuan could change his mind. However, Fu Chuan smiled and said to San Yang: "Don't worry, Master will still give you pocket money every month."

  "Really?" San Yang heard that Fu Chuan would still give him pocket money, he got up from the ground, as long as he could still get pocket money, what did he care about Fu Chuan giving compensation to whom?

  After Fuhe signed his name, San Yang sent the contract to Furongguan.

  Hu Lijing saw Fu Chuan getting hurt and felt heartbroken. She stood outside the study door, "Doesn't she care about you at all when she knows you're injured?"

  Fujiang knew who Hulijing was talking about, and Li Baobao cared about him. Yes, he did care, but he was hurt by his indifference.

  Fujiang really thought he was a scoundrel, but what could he do? He couldn't give Li Bao a future, so he could only be ruthless and let her stay away from him. Although he knew that even hearing the news of her being with another man would be unbearable, what other good options did he have?

  "Huli Jing asked: "What's going on between you and Xiao Yatou? You used to be fine, but now you're like fire and water. Xiao Yatou must have liked you, otherwise she wouldn't have traveled so far to find you. Did you hurt her heart again in Yunnan?"

  Before Fu Chuan could say no, Hu Lijing continued: "I think it's you. Little Yazi has had a better temper than you since childhood. After I came here, all I saw was you bullying her. It must be your fault, and in the past, you made her angry."

  "Is it over yet?!"

  Fujiang glared at Huli Jing, his eyes blazing with anger. He had just calmed down from feeling guilty, but now Huli Jing had stirred him up again. "It's also my fault if she wants to find another man!"

  Huli Jing wouldn't believe Fu Chuan's words, "I wouldn't believe that Xiaoyao would go back to find other women, but you, aren't you always speaking rudely to her?"

  "You, remember this, even if it's a deep feeling, it can't withstand your careless treatment."

  No one knows the bitterness in Fuhe's heart. He has always wanted Li Baobao, but taking her would mean death for him, so he ultimately chose his own life.

  Fu Jia's family has a curse, where the successor cannot get married. If they do, they will die on their wedding night in the bridal chamber. Fu Chuan acknowledges that he is also afraid of death and cannot be close to Li Baobao, let alone marry her.
