Yuan Yongxiang lost too much blood and was unconscious at this time.
When a person is on the verge of death, his Yang energy is at its weakest and his Yin energy is rising. He vaguely saw a person standing on the ground, and from her appearance he could vaguely tell that it was an elderly woman.
She was wearing a black top and pants, even her shoes were black, and her inner clothes were white.
The pain blurred his brain, but he was still able to think clearly. This outfit was really not auspicious. It was the same shroud he had put on his mother.
"Don't move." Chen Ling held down the middle-aged man who was trying to stand up, recited a spell to stop bleeding, and drew a hemostatic talisman on Yuan Yongxiang's body with his finger in the air.
The blood that kept flowing out of his body soon coagulated. Chen Ling breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the fat senior brother who was standing there stupidly. "Call for emergency help."
Fat Senior Brother: "I called, and he said he'll be here soon."
Chen Ling propped up Yuan Yongxiang, helped him lie down on the sofa, and turned to look at the old lady.
Those weather-beaten eyes, which were clearly only left with the scary whites, were now filled with tears. She seemed to want to get closer, but was afraid that her appearance would scare her son, so she hesitated and lingered in place.
The old Taoist didn't realize until now that something was wrong. He covered his chest and took a breath, enduring the pain of being seriously injured by the young man: "What's the matter with this old lady? When I received the call from Mingliang, he said that this was a fierce ghost that killed anyone it saw."
But looking at her hesitant look, she is clearly a poor mother who loves her son.
Chen Ling: "I've already told you that Shen Mingliang and Shen Mingyue have killed people, but you just don't believe it."
Until now, the old Taoist still refuses to believe it.
He watched those two people grow up. They were kind, sensible, and helpful since childhood. How could such people kill others
As if seeing his confusion, Chen Ling said, "I don't know the exact relationship between you two, but people are easily influenced by the outside world. They may be filial younger generations in your eyes, but in places you can't see, how do you know whether they are human or ghosts hiding under their skin."
After Chen Ling finished speaking, he walked straight to Old Mrs. Yuan. He thought for a moment and stretched out his hand.
The old woman's body temperature was very low, as cold as water. The young man held her tightly and wanted to pull her towards Yuan Yongxiang, but she suddenly struggled hard.
She couldn't make a sound, but those unclear sounds were enough to reveal her rejection and fear.
Chen Ling looked at her face calmly: "He is your son, he will not be afraid of you."
The old woman's wrinkled face was still full of resistance. She raised the hand that was not caught and covered her mouth tightly. Then she remembered something and raised her hand to cover her eyes.
Yuan Yongxiang uttered a sound in his unconsciousness, calling for his mother.
The old man shuddered all over and shed two lines of blood and tears.
Chen Ling turned around and looked at Xi Xiang Jiangyu: "Is there any solution?"
Jiang Yu stepped forward, and with just five fingers he absorbed all the ghostly auras around the old lady without hurting her soul.
The pupils reappeared in the old lady's eyes, but she still covered her mouth, and blood was faintly flowing out from between her fingers.
Chen Ling knew that he had to get back the old lady's tongue that had been pulled out.
Yuan Yongxiang was in a coma and had no way to contact the people he sent to investigate the funeral home, so he could only ask Shen Mingliang.
Shen Mingliang and Mrs. Yuan were trapped on the second floor. Without waiting for them to wake up, Chen Ling directly took two basins of cold water from the bathroom and poured them down.
Shen Mingliang, who was awakened by the water, opened his eyes suddenly and saw his uncle standing with Chen Ling. He realized that the old Taoist might have been defeated. His first reaction was to run, the faster the better.
Chen Ling grabbed his hair and forced him to look up: "Who did you ask to pull out the old lady's tongue?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." Shen Mingliang wanted to go check on Mrs. Yuan, but the pain on his scalp stopped him from thinking about it. "You'd better let us go soon, or I'll sue you for intentional injury and illegal house arrest."
He knew that there was no solid evidence for things like ghosts and gods, but he still felt confident.
Chen Ling: "Don't tell me?"
He would not draw talismans that could harm people, but at the critical moment, he had to use some means. Chen Ling loosened his hand and made a call to Wu Weiwei, asking him to deliver the Three Corpse Gu.
Wu Weiwei was terrified of the Three Corpses Gu, but when he saw the black snake-like thing actually burrowing around in the grass on Yuhe Mountain and diligently loosening the soil, his fear disappeared. He couldn't help but laugh, grabbing the Three Corpses Gu and saying, "Don't say it, even though you're ugly and your attributes are scary, it doesn't stop you from being cute."
The Three Corpse Gu didn't want to pay attention to him and lazily slipped out of Wu Weiwei's hand and fell onto the weasel's back.
It nimbly moved forward and hid in the fluffy fur.
Wu Weiwei's mouth twitched, and he grabbed Huang Daxian and rubbed him vigorously. In an instant, he caught the Three Corpse Gu and stuffed it into the bottle.
Half an hour later, he arrived at Yuan's villa and smelled blood as he entered the door.
What was even more bizarre was that his brother Chen's body was also covered in blood, and quite a lot of it.
Wu Weiwei was a little nervous: "Brother Chen, are you injured?"
Chen Ling lowered his head and waved his hand, saying, "It's not my blood, it's Mr. Yuan's."
Wu Weiwei was at a loss: "What happened to him?"
"He was slightly injured and has been taken to the hospital." Chen Ling glanced at his bulging pockets and reached out to take out the bottle. The Three Corpses Gu seemed a little depressed because of being ruthlessly imprisoned. It coiled up like a mosquito coil and lay at the bottom of the bottle, motionless.
With a pop, the cork of the bottle was opened. Sensing the fresh air coming in, the Three Corpse Gu suddenly jumped out from the bottom of the bottle, climbed onto Chen Ling's shoulder, and rubbed his cheek with its head, which was the size of the tip of its little finger.
Before it had rubbed it enough, a big hand reached out and grabbed it away.
The Three Corpse Gu immediately stiffened into a straight line, spit out its tongue, and the small tail exposed outside Jiang Yu's palm shook left and right a few times, as if begging for mercy.
Chen Ling: “…”
At the beginning, it tortured Qing Tanzi to the point where he was worse than death. Chen Ling treated it as a formidable enemy and thought it would take some effort to subdue it. Who would have thought that this thing has now learned to be so shameless and act cute and cowardly.
Chen Ling spread out his palm and stretched it in front of Jiang Yu.
As the man loosened his grip, the Three Corpse Gu fell down and lay horizontally in the young man's palm. When it came into contact with the warm human skin, it seemed to turn into water, and crawled around and around, finally wrapping around Chen Ling's wrist.
Shen Mingliang, who had been dragged into the living room, was frightened by the little black snake. Seeing the young man approaching with the snake, his heart skipped a beat and he moved back hard.
Mrs. Yuan was finally awakened by the noise around her and Shen Mingliang's voice. Her emotions were still out of control. She screamed and shouted viciously: "Kill her. I want to shatter her soul."
The high-pitched and shrill voices of a man and a woman could easily attract the neighbors next door. Chen Ling gave a wink, and Wu Weiwei immediately went to the kitchen to find two smelly rags and blocked their mouths.
Chen Ling put the Three Corpse Gu on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, the tiny black shadow disappeared.
Shen Mingliang kept his mouth shut because he knew that if he revealed any information, the other party would be able to find evidence and kill him, so when he realized that something had got into his clothes, he immediately clenched his teeth and closed his eyes tightly.
It seems that not looking can really erase all perception.
Soon, Shen Mingliang couldn't hold it anymore.
He lowered his head in horror and looked at his ankle. The skin there was slightly raised and something cold was moving under the skin.
Chen Ling's voice sounded at this time: "This looks like a snake, but it's actually a Gu. Since you know a sorcerer, you must know something about magic. This is called the Three Corpse Gu. It will first gnaw at your internal organs, then suck out all your blood and essence until you become a dried corpse."
When the old Taoist heard this, he immediately stopped him and said, "Take that thing out quickly!"
He didn't expect that the young man would have such a vicious Gu. He felt a chill in his heart. Seeing that the other party was unmoved, he spoke again: "You are forcing a confession by torture!"
"So what?" Chen Ling's face was solemn. "For the evil man who is hoping for a lucky break, I can only take this approach. If he knows what's good for him and tells the truth, I will naturally not use such a vicious method."
Wu Weiwei stepped forward and pulled the old Taoist back vigorously: "Old sir, you'd better stop making trouble. You haven't made enough trouble before."
"You!" The old Taoist glared angrily.
Wu Weiwei ignored him completely and looked at Brother Chen with some fear. Every time Brother Chen showed this indifferent and cold expression, someone would be in trouble.
Shen Mingliang knew it was useless to ask Chen Ling for help, so he tried his best to blink at the old Taoist, but because his mouth was blocked, he kept making a whimpering sound.
Just as the old Taoist was about to speak, Wu Weiwei dragged him to the kitchen.
Wu Weiwei said earnestly: "Young people should handle their own affairs, and the elders should not interfere."
"I!" The old Taoist was speechless. He thought for a long time and was about to speak when a painful groan suddenly came from outside. He pushed Wu Weiwei away and rushed out.
Chen Ling just pulled the rag out of Shen Mingliang's mouth. He turned his head to look at the old Taoist priest, then took a step forward to block his way.
The sharp gaze fell on Shen Mingliang's face without blinking.
When Shen Mingliang saw his great-uncle coming out, his attitude that had just softened became hard again. Chen Ling sighed and said lazily, "The Three Corpse Gu has a particularly big appetite. It just took a bite of your flesh just now. It's hard to say what it will do next time."
The Three Corpses Gu understood this sentence as an order, opened its mouth and bit Shen Mingliang, who immediately spat out blood.
Chen Ling squatted down, his eyes were grim and without any mercy.
Shen Mingliang was scared after all. He felt that the Three Corpse Gu was about to launch another attack. He shouted hurriedly, "I don't know where he is. I only know that the person who helped us collect the money and do the work was called Li Gang. He was the master who watched the fire in the incinerator!"
Chen Ling stood up and said, "Come out."
The Three Corpse Gu immediately made a hole in Shen Mingliang's skin and crawled out.
Looking at the bloody Gu, Chen Ling's scalp tingled. He was so disgusted that he picked it up from the ground through the toilet paper and put it in Jiang Yu's hand: "Dad, go give your youngest son a bath and brush his teeth."
Jiang Yu: “…”
Chen Ling blinked pretentiously, his black eyelashes fluttering like a small fan: "Its father?"
Such a name full of family atmosphere was very pleasing. Jiang Yu really cooperated and took the Three Corpse Gu to the bathroom. He filled the basin with water and threw the slender little thing directly into it.
Wu Weiwei leaned on the door frame and watched for a few seconds, marveling at it. If Brother Jiang was a wild beast, then Brother Chen was definitely the trainer who knew best how to tame him.
He retracted his neck and saw that the old Taoist who had been speaking so confidently before suddenly seemed to have lost his support and fell heavily onto the sofa.
Wu Weiwei walked back to the center of the living room and suddenly felt that this man was a little pitiful.
Chen Ling glanced at the Taoist priest without saying a word. He quickly took out his cell phone and called the hospital.
The nurse on duty answered the phone. When she heard that the person on the other end was Yuan Yongxiang, she took the initiative to say, "Mr. Yuan is fine, he just lost too much blood."
The nurse said this with a strange feeling in her heart.
I heard that when Yuan Yongxiang was first sent to the hospital, he had lost too much blood and was in critical condition. But for some reason, there was no bleeding even though there was such a big cut on the back of his waist.
After the wound was sutured, the hospital gave a blood transfusion and the patient's condition soon stabilized.
She was full of doubts, but she asked politely, "If possible, the family should come over as soon as possible. The doctor still has a lot to tell the patient's family."
Yuan Yongxiang's only relative has passed away, and his wife, whom he had a blind date with in the past, has also betrayed him. Chen Ling has no choice but to ask Jiang Shengxing to help find the number of Yuan Yongxiang's assistant.
The assistant was Yuan Yongxiang's confidant, and when he heard that his boss was injured, he rushed to the hospital immediately.
Chen Ling asked: "Mr. Yuan said before that he wanted to investigate the funeral home. Are you in charge of this matter?"
The assistant put on the Bluetooth headset and said while driving: "It's me, what's the problem?"
"The person who made the deal with Shen Mingliang is called Li Gang. He is the fire watcher of the funeral home's incinerator."
The person on the other end was stunned, said "I understand", and quickly hung up the phone.
Old Mrs. Yuan left with Yuan Yongxiang. Chen Ling felt uneasy if he didn't keep her under his watch, so he checked the time on his phone and quickly asked Wu Weiwei to help write down the details of the case while he himself was responsible for the interrogation.
Shen Mingliang's vitality was damaged by the Three Corpse Gu, and he felt pain all over his body.
His bright eyes gradually dimmed after Chen Ling's phone call.
Back then, upstairs, he heard what Chen Ling said to Yuan Yongxiang. That fat man was here to arrest him. Now the crime of destroying the body was about to be confirmed. Whether he was willing to confess the rest or not, he couldn't run away today.
Over the years, he had been scheming and working hard, but he never expected to end up like this.
Shen Mingliang felt more and more uncomfortable, with emotions of rage and unwillingness running rampant in his chest.
This complex emotion completely erupted when his uncle said disappointedly that he had interfered in other people's marriages.
"You said I interfered in their marriage? Ha, Mingyue and I have been childhood sweethearts, and Yuan Yongxiang is the third party! If he hadn't suddenly appeared and used sweet words to deceive her, how could Mingyue abandon me and be with him!"
"I originally wanted to quit and forget about this woman, but she suddenly came to me and said that her life was empty and her husband was always not at home. Isn't this a sex offer delivered to my door? Why shouldn't I accept it!" Yuan Yongxiang was resentful of Shen Mingyue.
He always remembered how the woman who had protected him since childhood and had promised to grow old with him suddenly changed her attitude and pointed at him condescendingly and said, "You don't know anything, how can you make me happy in the future? But Yongxiang is different. He is a college student and has a business mind. Only by following him can I see the future."
She even shamelessly begged him not to reveal their ambiguous relationship in front of Yuan Yongxiang, because Yuan Yongxiang was an upright man and would abandon her if he knew.
It was this woman who betrayed him and asked him to help pave the way for her, but turned around and came back to him to make peace fifteen years later.
Is it cheap? Of course it is.
But it was this kind of person who always lingered in his heart. After his anger and resentment, he painfully discovered that there were still some feelings from the past left in his heart.
The Taoist priest was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at Shen Mingliang's face and said, "You are siblings! You are disregarding ethics!"
"Sister and brother?" Shen Mingliang sneered. "Not anymore. After Shen Mingyue's parents died, I asked someone to handle the procedures to sever the adoption. I am no longer a member of their family."
Chen Ling: "Did you kill him because the old lady discovered your affair?"
Shen Mingliang's eyes flickered, and he put on an expression that showed he was not afraid of boiling water: "Yes."
Chen Ling stared at the face and said, "It seems that it's not just because your relationship was discovered, but also for money."
Shen Mingliang's face suddenly turned cold: "No!"
Chen Ling asked, "You are so resentful of Mr. Yuan that you are willing to be just a small financial manager under him?"
"I have no resentment towards him." Shen Mingliang said stiffly.
Chen Ling leaned forward, staring at him without blinking. "On the phone just now, Mr. Yuan's assistant told me that they have found evidence that you embezzled public funds and misappropriated company finances. The assistant said that they will send you to prison and keep you there until you die."
These words were meant to trick Shen Mingliang. Chen Ling appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually very panicked.
Who would have thought that Shen Mingliang actually took the bait.
He knew the power of power and money. The assistant's words were no joke. Yuan Yongxiang really wanted to kill him! He had been pretending to be fine in front of him for the past two days. It turned out that it was just a false act to paralyze him?!
Shen Mingliang raised his head and laughed, his face was extremely vicious: "Yes, I covet his property, so what? He has occupied my woman for so many years, what's wrong with me taking a few dollars from him!"
Recalling something, he suddenly changed his words and said, "No, I was indeed wrong."
The old Taoist thought that he had truly realized his mistake. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Shen Mingliang say hatefully, "I shouldn't have just poisoned that old man, I should have poisoned Yuan Yongxiang as well!"
"Let them go to hell together!"
"This way, the entire Shen family will be mine. The property will be mine, the villa will be mine, and Shen Mingyue will be mine too!"
