Chapter 584: Burning Paper Money


    I shook my head. The biggest problem is that we dont know where thespiritcamefrom. Moreover, we dont know if it will kill more people.


    That thing had killed a manintheblink of an eyeandleft the murder scene in the next second.There was no time to react.


    I had stood still for quite a long time, but I couldnt figure out any solutions.Feeling helpless, I had to ask Jiang Teng to take me to his house to see if there were any clues.


    The bodyguard drove fast. After around ten minutes, the car stopped in front of avish vi. Immediately, a servant came to open the car door and respectfully invited me out.


    When I got out of the car, I felt a little ufortable. I couldnt adapt to this etiquette. Jiang Teng was used to it. He didnt evennce atthe servantanddirectlywalkedinto the vi.


    The interior of the vi was decorated even morevishly than the outside. The floor had Italian tiles, too. I didnt know that Jiang Teng was this rich.


    I looked around the house and noticed that the entrance corridor of this house was arrangedording to the geomancy set upof receiving wind and storing energy. I was certain that they had consulted a master.


    Thus, thegeomancyof this vi could attract wealth and expel evils. Jiang Guanguanshouldn''thaveattractedsomething fos he lived in such an auspicious ce. I thought there should be somethingelse, too.


    I turned to Jiang Tengand asked, Before your son died, did he doanythingstrange?


    Jiang Tengthought, thenshook his head.


    I wasnt pleased with that answerand askedfurther,Hashe ever offended anybody?


    Jiang Tengs face turned strange. After a long time, he answered embarrassedly,My son was a little rebellious during his adolescence. He didnt like to talk about his personallifewiththefamily.


    I wanted to ask more, but a bodyguard pushed the door open and interrupted me. He sounded hurried. Mr. Chairman, that personhaseagain


    Jiang Tengs face changed again. He darkly shouted, Are youguards trashor what?


    Before the bodyguard could exin, Jiang Teng interrupted himand saidannoyedly,All right, Illsee for myself.


    The bodyguard looked hesitantashe turned to me.It seemedhe didnt want me to follow his boss. I arched one brow. I want to check thegeomancyof the rooms here. Im not going downstairs with you.


    Both of them heaved sighs of relief. Then, they hurriedly left.


    Anyway, Jiang Guanguans bedroom window faced the entrance of the vi. I could just hide behind the curtain to observe the situation down there.


    At this time, several guards were surrounding a gray-haired old man. The old man was kneeling on the grass; abrazier was in front of him. While crying, he was putting something into the fire. I squinted and recognized that he was burning paper money!


    It was really unfortunate to burn paper money in front of the house.It was no wonder Jiang Teng wore such a bad face.


    The beefy bodyguards all had their electric batons ready, which were vibrating dangerously. However, no one took action. This group of people looked strange, indeed.Then, one of the bodyguards moved aside, which gaveme room to see thattheold manhada knife ced at his throat. He looked as though he would kill himself if someone made a move.


    Soon, Jiang Teng appeared within my sight. Unexpectedly,the first thing he didwas turnto see the room where I was standing. I was startledand hid behindthe curtain. Subconsciously, I thought he was watching me.


    If hewasafraid that I would know something about this old man, then this old man must have something to do with Jiang Guanguan.


    Soon, thepeople began to quarrel. I vaguely heard Jiang Teng insult the old man and the old man whining.


    A few minutester, the vis quietness resumed. I heard footsteps from the corridor. Thinking that it could be Jiang Tengheadingto this room, I pulled myself together and watched the ground. I pretendedto be checking something.


    Mr. Zhang The bodyguard called me. It soundedlike he was questioning something.


    What? I lifted my head abruptly.


    The bodyguard changed his countenanceand smiledat me. Its gettingte.Doyou want to rest early?


    I got up and rubbed my numb legs. Aftergiving him a nod, I asked him to settle me in the roomopposite JiangGuanguans.


    I had waited for the whole night but found no clues. I was skeptical if thespiritwoulde back here one more time.


    When the bodyguard came to call me downstairs for breakfast the next morning, he was surprisedto seeme haggard with dark circles under my eyes. I wasnt thick-faced enough to tell him that I had stayed up the whole night for nothing.


    After breakfast, I asked the bodyguard to get me some red paper. Jiang Teng didnt get it. Forgive me for taking the liberty to ask, but why do you want red paper?


    I looked at himand saidindifferently,Youll know tonight.


    I didnt know why, but after seeing the white-haired old manst night, I felt somewhat hostile toward Jiang Teng. Id seen enough rich people doing bad things. Although Jiang Teng had purposely hidden things from me, I thought I couldsomewhat guess it.


    Jiang Teng didnt pester me as he hadrecognized that I didnt want to exin. While the bodyguard was out buying the red paper, I rested on the sofa.


    When the bodyguard came back, he hadpany.Theman with him looked arrogant. When he talked to people, his eyes haughtily turned upward. I felt irritated.


    After the manwentto the study room with Jiang Teng, I turned to ask the bodyguard, Isthat man one of Jiang Tengs business friends?


    The bodyguard nodded. Sincethat person had nothing to do with Jiang Guanguan, I didnt need to care about him.


    I asked the bodyguard tobringthe red paper to the room with me. We then used a pair of scissors and Jiang Guanguans picture to cut up a paper doll. I used cinnabar ink to write Jiang Guanguans birthday on the back of the doll.


    Afteradding a fewdropsof Jiang Tengs blood on it, I put the paper doll on Jiang Guanguans bed.


    After everything was done, the bodyguard asked me curiously,What are you doing?


    Making a stand-in.While wiping my hands with a towel, I exined to him, I wrote Young Master Jiangs birthday on the doll and added his fathers blood. I want to make thespiritthink that Jiang Guanguans still alive.


    Jiang Teng and Jiang Guanguan had a blood bond that thespiritcouldnt distinguish. I was certain it woulde again.


    The bodyguard took in a deep breathand asked incredulously,You mean, you want to entice it toe here?


    I shot him a strange look. If I couldnt lure thespiritout, how could I solve it?


    The bodyguard recognized that he had asked a dumb question. Im sorry. I was so scared yesterday. Icouldntkeep calmwhen you said thespiritwoulde here.


    I nodded as I understood. I gave him a spirit talisman to protect himself. The bodyguard anxiously put it into his shirt pocket and thanked me repeatedly.


    I waved my hand. Not at all. Anyway, I need to take a nap. You stay hereandwatch. Do not let anybody approach the paper stand-in.


    The bodyguard grimacedand asked,CanI ask someone else?


    Looking at his fearful face, Iughed inwardly. Pointing at the sun held high in the sky outside, I said, Spirits wonte out during the day. Dont worry. Wake me up when the sun sets.


    He exhaled and patted his chest. I promise I will watch the doll well.


    I gave him a satisfied nod and left.


    At around twilight, the bodyguard woke me up. I got up and ate something before going to Jiang Guanguans bedroom. I hid into the wall closet that faced the window.


    To observe the room, I pushed the doors of the closet openjust a little. As the nightcame, the light in the room was swallowed little by little. Soon, it waspletely dark.


    I smeared some garlic waterovermy body to conceal my Yang energy. Then, I closed my eyes to resume myposure.


    As time ticked by, Istarted to feelworried. At midnight, I heard the wind howling. It was blowing into the room through the window.


    I thought to myself,Here ites!
