After solving the rat monster in Tangjia Village, Li Mazi and I immediately returned to Wuhan City. We also happened to finish a resenting child ghost along the way. 

When I returned

 to my antique shop, I resumed my pleasant

 and 

quiet life like a wild crane moving through silver clouds. Li Mazi 

went

 home

 and 

continued 

to pamper 

his wife like a servile eunuch. However, he would randomly 

visit my shop. 

On the day I thought Li Mazi would come, I had 

planned to buy

 two bottles of Blue Wine to drink with him. 

As soon as I opened the shop, I saw Li Mazi. He was sitting at my shop front, leisurely drinking West Lake Longjing tea while checking out the beauties walking on the street with his despicable eyes. 

This man would never change his nature. I wondered if Ru Xue would ask him to kneel 

and ask for forgiveness

if

 she knew about this. Anyway, Li Mazi still had his conscience. 

When he saw

 me, he offered me breakfast. 

I sat next to him and bit 

into my

 hamburger

.

 I asked, “How 

is

your shop

 doing?” 

“Oh well, it’s hard to fool people nowadays. I can’t sell many of my counterfeits. I

 haven’t earned a 

dime these days.” Li Mazi pouted

. He

 didn’t sound please

d.

I gave him a faint smile. I

 had 

already guessed that. Our business was unpredictable. We couldn’t guess when the next case would come. Fortunately, we had earned a lot after each case. We were somewhat rich now. 

“Ru Xue took Li Meng and little Nianchu to her grandparent’s place

,

” Li Mazi told me. 

At the same time, Yin Xinyue had to stay 

with

 her company these days. She was busy, too. Li Mazi and I couldn’t put up with our boredom anymore. “Should we go out and look around for something to do?” 

suggested 

Li Mazi.  

“I’

ll 

call 

Senior Shu

 to see if he has something for us to do.” I smiled. 

I hadn’t heard wind about 

Senior Shu

 for quite a long time. I was curious to know where he was, or if he 

was still 

hiding from his enemy. 

Right when

 I was about to call 

Senior Shu

, the telephone in my shop rang. Li Mazi 

went

 to 

pick up

 the phone. After a few seconds, he threw me an ambiguous look.  

It seemed

 we 

had

 a case! 

The feeling was similar to someone 

giving you a pillow when you needed to rest the most. I 

went

 to receive the phone. “This is Zhang Jiulin. Please brief me on the events that have happened to you. Has your house 

experienced

 paranormal activities? Do you have 

any

 trouble-making antiques?” 

As soon as I 

said that

, the person from the other line blurted, “Mr. Zhang, I have something I need your help with! Please accept this case!”

After saying that, he added, “It

 was

Senior Shu

. He told me to contact you.” 

Perhaps he was afraid that I wouldn’t help him.

I patted my thigh

 and thought 

that this old man and I had an agree

ment over 

telepathy. He had introduced a new case to me. 

However, I was still afraid that 

Senior Shu

was

 fool

ing

 me. He had tricked me with a few difficult cases already. I had to make a mental note

. Then, I 

asked the 

person on the line

 to tell me what he had experienced.

“It’s hard to explain clearly 

in

 a few sentences. Please come to me personally.” Then, he hung up the call. A moment later, I received a message

. The

 address was somewhere in Shenyang. 

My excitement faded after reading the text.

This person

 is 

interesting,

 I thought to myself.

He ask

ed 

for 

a

 favor and sounded 

so arrogant

. If he 

wasn’t

 introduced by 

Senior Shu

, I wouldn

’t have paid attention to

 his case. 

It was autumn,

 and t

he 

land

above

 the Yellow River was golden. After crossing the Shanhai Pass, the temperature dropped all of a sudden. I shivered inadvertently. I was lucky that Li Mazi had expected this. He gave me a cotton coat from his bag, which gave me instant warmth. 

It was a strenuous journey to Shenyang. I called 

the client

 when we arrived. Soon, a BMW appeared in front of us. A young man wearing a black suit got out of the car. He 

wore

 a pair of sunglasses 

and walked

 confidently with a straight back. It seemed he was an important figure.

Before the man arrived, Li Mazi took the time to whisper to my ear, “That man looks rich! Remember to charge him more.” 

I nodded. We talked to the man in the black suit, then followed hi

s car. He drove 

to the highway

. After a while, w

e reached the suburban area of Shenyang. 

“Brother, why did you call for my help?” I drove the car parallel to his and 

rolled

 down the window

 to talk 

to him.

He gave me an unexpected answer. 

“Sir, I don’t know. When you 

go

 there, my boss will tell you

.”

It turned out he was just a footman. I didn’t ask him 

anything else and checked 

around. We continued to drive for a while. Finally, 

from

 a distance, I saw a large-scale building that looked like one of those ancient imperial palaces 

or

 towers. The scene was magnificent. 

“Th

e

 palace looks familiar. I think I’ve seen it before

,”

 Li Mazi said 

excitedly

 as he craned his neck

.

I turned to 

assess the place

. Then, I remembered that we were in Shenyang. Those should be the Eastern Qing 

Tombs

. The founder of the Qing Dynasty

, E

mperor Nurhaci

,

 was buried there. 

I continued to observe 

the

 scene re

spectfully

. However, it was strange

.

 I had recognized wisps of black air emitting from the Eastern Qing 

Tombs

. 

Although the tombs would gradually have Yin energy, this place was an imperial tomb where the 

Emperor,

 the Son of Heaven, was buried! The Yin energy here should be white or purple.

 Since

 I 

had seen

 black 

air

, 

it

signaled

 the existence of a

n evil 

spirit! 

Through the window of my car, I noticed a pedestrian. 

I had just taken a glance,

 but I could feel thick Yin energy from him. It seemed he was being possessed by something foul. 

I thought 

about pulling 

over to have a look and see if I could help him, but the young man in the suit had left me far behind. I was afraid that I would lose sight of him, so I had to continue driving.

 I felt

 more curious about 

those 

tombs. 

The cars gradually left the urban area. The scenes alongside the road had turned into mountains and waters. Finally, the young man in the BMW pulled to a full stop. 

I looked around. This ravine looked like a bucket that carried treasures. There was a mountain that stood behind

, and 

low hills in the front. A long river was on the left

, with s

mall 

flanks on

 the right. It was an area of 

rare and excellent geomancy

. 

Looking at this ravine, I strongly believed that the 

client 

had a 

big

 background. Behind the ravine, we saw a villa. From a distance, I saw that the villa was built in a traditional style. The area it was situated in wasn’t small, either. At first 

glance

, it looked like a palace. 

I had a wry smile. 

We both stand when we pee, so why is the difference between us so 

big

?

Before we entered the 

complex

, a fat man that looked smart and savvy came to greet us. 

When

 he knew that I was Zhang Jiulin, he was so 

excited. He pulled 

my hand to usher me 

into

 the lobby to talk. 

When we 

sat down

, he introduced himself. “I’m Ye Chen. I’m the one 

who

 called you for help.” 

I 

thought

, 

D

on’t babble nonsense and get to the point! 

“Could you tell me what happened? You sounded panicked 

on the

 phone.” 

After listening

 to me, Ye Chen’s face darkened in just a second. It seemed he didn’t know what to do with his hands

, so he 

just 

wiggled

 his fingers on the table. 

After keeping

 silent for a few seconds, he started to talk. “

It’s

 not me who’s in trouble. It’s my boss. His name is Jin Shengqing. It seems he has provoked something foul. I’m in charge of contacting you for help…” 

I was more surprised. 

That Jin invited us here to help, but 

why does it

look

 like we have to contact him through his agent?

Ye Chen 

told

 us more details. “My boss 

works

 in the stock business. He loves outdoor activities, especially archery. When he has free time, he 

goes

 to Mount Changbai nearby to hunt.

Around half a month ago, my boss 

brought

 his bodyguards with him to go hunting. They went to Mount Changbai. 

That

 time, they 

had

 a big harvest with dozens of wild animals. Boss Jin was happy. He gave big bonuses to his bodyguards.

However, when he came back, he became strange. At first, his 

personality

 seemed to have changed. He became hot-tempered. However, we thought that he 

was feeling

 some pressure, so we didn’t pay attention to it. 

H

is situation got worse after t

hat

. When he 

sees

 his friends or even his family, he loses control and hits them.

”

He continued the story. 

“Since his condition isn’t right, I have to stay in the villa with some bodyguards to take care of him. The other night, he suddenly roared in his roo

m. Then

, he began to sob loudly. When we heard the commotion, we went to his room to check. Our boss was sitting on the ground with one hand supporting his chin

. H

is other hand was making an orchid hand gesture. He looked so aggrieved when he wiped his 

tears

. He didn’t look like our boss anymore. He looked like a whining girl. When we attempted to 

go

 to him, he turned and talked to us in a female voice!”

Ye Chen’s voice trembled when he came to this part

. H

is face 

began to sweat

. He gulped his saliva then continued. “I heard that 

Senior Shu

 is good at solving these things. I contacted him

and learned that he was about to take 

a

 flight to Congo in Africa to avoid his enemy. He gave me your contact information.” 

After l

istening to Ye Chen’s story, I 

recreated

 the images in my head. I suddenly felt a chill. 

However, it wasn’t that I hadn’t experienced the same situation before. In the case of the embroidered shoes, Li Meng was possessed by a female ghost. I pulled myself together and asked Ye Chen, “If Mr. Jin moves out of this villa, will it still happen?

”

“It’s useless. We’ve tried all sorts of 

things

. No matter where he is, he will act the same at night…” Then, Ye Chen grabbed my hand. “Please help our boss!” 

I gave him a nod. 

“Where’s Mr. Jin?” 

“He went out for a walk. He knows you

’re coming 

today. He’ll 

be

 back before twilight. Gentlemen, pleas

e

 rest first. When he comes back, I’ll notify you,” said Ye Chen. 

Since

 Ye Chen sounded emotional, I didn’t ask 

for any more information.
