Chapter 237

Just an insignificant person.

——

When Shu Xia returned to Xinghai Villa, Qiao Muting was not there.

She had just been about to go upstairs to change her clothes when she received a call from Qiao Muting.

"Are you done with your work?"

"I just arrived home."

"Nainai just called me; she has something she needs your help with. Do you have time to go?" Qiao Muting asked in a gentle voice.

Shu Xia didn't even think about it, "Of course I have time. Is it to the Laozhai? I'll drive there now."

"Zhang Tezhu is on his way to pick you up. You don't need to drive yourself; just rest in the car."

"Okay."

Once in the car, Zhang Tezhu didn't speak at first.

He was thinking about how to bring it up.

The boss had explicitly told him to let Shu Xia rest in the car; if he were to chat and delay Shu Xia's rest, the boss would definitely be angry.

But if he didn't say certain things, it would itch in his heart.

"Does Zhang Tezhu have something to say?" Shu Xia noticed Zhang Tezhu looking at her through the rearview mirror from time to time, looking as if he had something to say.

Zhang Tezhu immediately seemed to open a floodgate, "Does Miss Shu still remember Mu Yu?"

"I remember, what happened to him?"

"Ever since he contracted AIDS, many people around him have gone to get tested. Recently, several of his girlfriends have all contracted AIDS. Before, Mu Yu was cultivated by the Mu Family as if he were an heir; he was used to being reckless and arrogant in his daily actions. Of course, he didn't dare to in front of Qiao. I previously had a few college classmates who worked at a Mu Family company, and they were all secretly schemed against by him in various ways."

Zhang Tezhu didn't even know what he was saying, but seeing Shu Xia, he just wanted to explain the ins and outs of the whole situation clearly.

"Mm, and now?" Shu Xia said.

"Now the Mu Family avoids him like a plague. Qiao actually doesn't count as a very good friend of his; it was all because of Young Master Jiang. Last time, when I was on a business trip with Qiao, you called in time to warn us; otherwise, he would have been in the same car as us, and I and Qiao would definitely have shared in the bad luck." Zhang Tezhu now trusts Shu Xia deeply.

Anything Shu Xia told him not to touch, he would absolutely not touch.

The experiences from the previous few times were particularly eerie.

"I only found out later that the thumb ring he wore was given to him by his second uncle a year ago. I saw him wearing that thumb ring a few months ago and always felt a bit uncomfortable. It looked like it had a truly good color and texture, but I don't know why, I just felt uncomfortable. Who would have thought it was truly evil! I just want to know, if we were to ride in the same car as him one day, and then frequently meet during our itinerary, would we also be in danger?"

He was particularly curious about this point.

"Yes. People who have been around him in the last year will be affected to a greater or lesser degree. However, the evil energy of that thumb ring has become heavier recently. If you have prolonged contact with him, you will definitely be in mortal danger," Shu Xia said very decisively.

Zhang Tezhu gasped, "It's fortunate that I posted on my social media that day and you saw it."

Shu Xia smiled lightly: "There are arrangements in the dark. That you could post on social media and have me see it shows that you are a person of good fortune. Having been schemed against and unlucky a few times before, you will definitely be safe and smooth throughout this year."

"If I hadn't met Miss Shu, I might be having terrible luck right now; it's all thanks to Miss Shu! By the way, you just said that people who have been close to Mu Yu recently have been affected to varying degrees. Is that really the case? Situ Ye and Lu Lin, they are often with Mu Yu. Various contracts and collaborations handled by the two of them have all gone wrong, resulting in heavy losses. It's particularly eerie. Even Young Master Jiang has been affected, just not as severely as Situ Ye and Lu Lin," Zhang Tezhu said.

"Spend more time out in the sun and play basketball during this period. In the future, even if you encounter someone with evil energy on them, it won't be able to affect you."

Shu Xia was not surprised. Of the people present that day, as long as they had had too much contact with Mu Yu, they would be affected; there would be no exceptions.

It was just that the unlucky events were either big or small, or if one's body was upright, one would not fear a crooked shadow; this kind of evil energy is difficult to get close to, so naturally, it wouldn't affect much.

"Okay! From now on, I'll go play basketball as soon as I get off work!"

Half an hour later.

Arrived at the Laozhai.

Three cars were already parked in front of the Laozhai; one of them was Qiao Muting's, and the other two had not been seen before.

It seems Qiao Nainai has guests.
