Chapter Seven Conspiracy

  Intracranial hemorrhage, secondary brain concussion, after four hours of emergency treatment in the hospital, Fatso finally picked up a life, but he has been unconscious all the time.

  "If he doesn't wake up within three days, it's very likely that he will never wake up again. You should be prepared for the worst." The doctor was straightforward, and Fatso might become a vegetable.

  Vegetative people and dead people are no different, they just comfort the living psychologically, on another level, they also continue to torture the living.

  Tian Qi sat on the long bench in the hospital corridor, his mind was now in a mess. The car accident had been confirmed as an accident and not a premeditated murder, but he knew it wasn't that simple. Fatso had recently encountered a series of unfortunate events, from encountering ghosts to sudden bankruptcy, and now this car accident. It was too far-fetched to attribute all these things to mere coincidence.

  But he had no leads or suspects, and didn't even know who Fatso had spent the holiday with. Even if he didn't believe it was a coincidence, what could he do now? All he could do was hope that Fatso would wake up within three days, and maybe the answer would be revealed.

  "Fatso, you must pull through, our company has just started, if you die like this I will feel guilty for the rest of my life." Tianqi silently prayed in his heart, now he could only pray.

  "Look at this note." After a while, Chou Shen came back from buying food and handed Tian Qi a note.

  "What's this?" Tian Qi asked as he took over the note.

  "You'll know once you open it, it seems like someone intentionally framed him." Qiu Shen furrowed his brow.

  "This time is just a lesson, your company will close soon, otherwise the terrible consequences are yet to come, and the result is not what you can bear." These were the words written on the note.

  The note was given by a little kid to Qiu Shen, and Qiu Shen didn't see anyone suspicious around.

  "It seems we've met a competitor, probably took his business," the note said. If they weren't competitors, why would their company be closed?

  The occurrence of this situation was beyond Tian Qi's expectation. Although he knew that someone had intentionally framed him, what could be done about it? The other party was in the dark while they were in the light, and even if they were being plotted against, they couldn't investigate who was behind it.

  "You can try finding Zhang Xin, maybe he can help you," Qiu Shen said.

  It's possible that this is indeed a way out, Zhang Xin is a policeman, more importantly, the clan in his body has the ability to foresee.

  Staying in the hospital all the time isn't a solution, so Tian Qi decided to go back and look for Zhang Xin first. If he could really find the person behind the scenes, maybe Pangzi would wake up soon too.

  It was just when he and Qiu Shen returned to the company that they found Zhang Xin already standing at the door.

  "Don't ask, just follow this and you'll be fine." Zhang Xin said first, handing Tianqi a piece of paper with dense handwriting in pen, roughly telling him what to do.

  "What's this?" Tian Qina muttered, her face filled with confusion.

  "No need to ask, I have other things to attend to, I'll leave first. Remember, you must follow the instructions above exactly, not a single step can be wrong. And both of you must go together, otherwise if anything goes wrong, your lives will be in danger. Everything must be completed within two days." Zhang Xin's face was stern, a unique authority that came from years of being a police officer.

  "What about my friend in the hospital, then?" Now the one I'm most worried about should be Fatso, as for what kind of situation he'll end up in, that's still something to be determined later. What if Fatso really doesn't wake up?

  "He's fine, don't worry, his bad luck will end here and he'll wake up in two days." Zhang Xin looked at Tian Qi with a relieved smile, then turned around and left.

  A piece of paper, a few words, a promise, it's hard for people to fully believe, but Tian Qi didn't doubt him, he believed that Zhang Xin was telling the truth, whether it was Zhang Xin himself or the Longevity Clan in his body, he believed it was true.

  Maybe this can be said to be a kind of fate, some people, even if they are together every day for many years, cannot communicate with each other and trust each other, but some people, just seeing each other a few times, can achieve mutual trust.

  Now that there is a plan of action, what needs to be done next is to follow the steps written on paper in an orderly manner.

  The problem lies in the order they received a few days ago, the Zhang family's mansion - Yinyang Mansion.

  It is clearly written above: the selection of yin-yang houses is very strict, with mountains behind and water in front. The water must be natural mountain spring water, and the river water is 300 meters away from the house door. From the house door, after two kilometers, the spring water must flow into the ground to form an underground stream, also known as yellow spring water.

  At first glance, the house's feng shui is excellent, but a discerning person would know that this is a scheme to benefit oneself at others' expense.

  Such a house can gather wealth and prosperity for the family, but it is indeed through harming others. People who have lived here will soon become unlucky, and in severe cases, they will lose their lives, while the good fortune of those living here will be transferred to the owner of this house, the Zhang family.

  Just thinking about this, Tian Qi's teeth are itchy with hatred. If they can make a lot of money based on their ability, why do they need to use such despicable means? Every penny the Zhang family earns is dirty. In his heart, he has already secretly made up his mind that sooner or later, the Zhang family will pay for their actions.

  There is a person's birthdate written on the paper, probably someone in their fifties. Looking at the steps written on the paper, although Tian Qi doesn't understand much about Chinese traditional folk sorcery, he roughly understands that this is clearly finding a substitute to bear the bad luck.

  Tian Qi hesitated for a moment. One life for another, he would be saved, but someone else would be unlucky and might even lose their life because of it.

  "I think you don't need to worry, have you forgotten what he does?" Chou Shen saw through Tian Qi's thoughts, the steps written on the paper were something they had to do together. He rarely spoke, but whenever he did, it was always a hit.

  It's okay, Zhang Xin is a police officer. If he finds the birth date of an inmate who is about to be executed, it shouldn't be a problem. This way, there won't be so much guilt.

  First, find a peach kernel, write Tian Qi's own birth eight characters on yellow paper, and stick it on the peach kernel. Then, find another piece of yellow paper, write Zhang Xin's given birth eight characters on it, and attach it to Tian Qi's above, which must be completely covered.

  Tian Qi was following the steps while thinking to himself, why use walnuts? Shouldn't it be a scarecrow instead? He still remembered when he was young and his body was weak, always getting sick. His mother had found a fortune teller who said that his unlucky star needed to be replaced with a child substitute. Although he didn't see the whole process, he did see that they used a scarecrow.

  "There's so much to learn, I'm afraid it'll take a lifetime to finish!" Tian Qi sighed.

  Everything was ready and tomorrow Qizhi and Chou Shen would drive to Zhang's residence, but Pangzi's car had been damaged and was still in the repair shop, so they could only temporarily rent a car.

  After rushing there, the sky was already dark, which was a good calculation by Tian Qi. It's easier to do things in the dark, and he understood this principle. Now he just hoped that there was no one in the house at the moment, otherwise, he would have to think of another way to get in, but it would be very difficult. A person with a guilty conscience suddenly seeing the victim would definitely be extremely vigilant.

  Things are going smoothly, and there is no one in the house now. Tian Qi doesn't know that this house can't be borrowed either. The annual borrowing limit is ten people, otherwise it's harmful and useless. A person's luck also has a bearing range. If it exceeds this range, it means it doesn't belong to this category. The principle of "things will reverse when they reach the extreme" is just that.

  It's unlikely to enter the villa directly from the door, as the lock on it doesn't seem to be made of ordinary materials and would be difficult to break in a short time. Tian Qi and Qiu Shen almost circled around the villa before finding a suitable outer wall to climb up, fortunately, both of them are quite tall, otherwise, it would have been even more troublesome.

  After entering the house, it's necessary to enter the room where they last lived, take the walnut and burn it, then you can leave. However, walnuts aren't scarecrows after all, so burning them completely still takes some time.

  "Why don't we just set fire to this house and burn it down? That way, he won't be able to harm anyone else." Tian Qi suddenly had this idea. Anyway, there's no one around here, and even if someone finds out, the damage will already be done.

  "No, my intuition tells me that this house is not so simple. Besides, even if the address doesn't change, what can you do by burning it down? With their strength, rebuilding another one wouldn't be a difficult task." Qiu Shen shook his head in denial.

  "Don't give me a chance, or I will surely teach them a lesson." Tian Qi regained his composure after a brief impulse, and indeed couldn't do so now.
