Chapter 644

"Zhong Jiejie's apprentice?"

Chen Lao was stunned.

Zhong Jiejie had left Jing City for over thirty years, and to this day, no one knew where she had gone; when he was looking for those feng shui masters to come to his home, he had also thought that it would be best if he could find Zhong Jiejie.

What a pity.

None of them had any news of Zhong Jiejie.

"Yes, I learned from Zhong Nainai when I was young, though I only learned a little bit," Shu Xia said.

Chen Lao nodded repeatedly, "An apprentice taught by Zhong Jiejie from a young age must naturally be able to tell; young lady, do you really think this ornament is what caused all this? A small ornament can cause so many things to happen?"

Shu Xia nodded and said earnestly, "It is indeed because of it; this object is extremely sinister and is intended to ensure that there are no more descendants in Chen Lao's family."

She was not fear-mongering.

"What?" Chen Lao took a step back, almost losing his footing.

Fortunately, Gu Lao, who was at his side, supported Chen Lao in time.

That prevented Chen Lao from falling.

Gu Lao's face also turned pale with shock, "More vicious than the things discovered and seen before?"

"Yes." Shu Xia took a glove out of her bag and put it on.

Then she picked up the phoenix, which looked very beautiful, and examined it in her palm.

Various ancient and mysterious patterns, which would not be easily discovered without careful inspection, were drawn on it, like a piece of talisman paper.

Shu Xia's expression suddenly changed, and her palm turned abruptly icy; before losing consciousness, she used all her strength to warn: "Don't touch it! Find a container to cover it!"

The moment Shu Xia collapsed, the phoenix rolled out of her palm.

Gu Lao and Chen Lao were greatly alarmed and exclaimed at the same time: "Xia Xia!"

"Young lady!"

——

Qiao Muting was reviewing documents.

As he was signing his name, his heart suddenly gave a sharp throb.

He immediately frowned.

The pain lasted only for an instant and quickly vanished, as if what had just happened was merely an illusion.

"Qiao?"

The department manager who had delivered the documents saw Qiao Muting suddenly frown, and his heart immediately jumped into his throat; he looked at Qiao Muting with great nervousness.

Every time he came to see Qiao, it was truly a challenge to his courage.

He was so nervous he was about to have a heart attack.

Qiao Muting raised his eyes to glance at the department manager, then signed the document expressionlessly and handed the contract over.

The department manager's heart, which had been hanging high, immediately dropped.

Goodness, that scared him to death!

Fortunately, there were no issues.

After the department manager walked out, Qiao Muting's cell phone rang.

He glanced at the caller.

Grandpa Gu?

He answered: "Grandpa Gu."

Wasn't Grandpa Gu at Chen Lao's house in the small town with Shu Xia at this time?

Why would he call him at this moment?

Qiao Muting frowned slightly, a vague sense of foreboding rising within him.
