Chapter 141: Threat

Zhang Ling appreciated Zhang Wei's confidence, and with a charming smile, she said, "Good, then I'll be relying entirely on you."

Having said that, Zhang Ling let Zhu Bang lead the way for her to find the Chairman.

Fan Qianzhou, who was to the side, hurriedly caught up and greeted her, "Abang, where are you taking this pretty lady?"

Zhu Bang hurriedly said, "Uncle, this is Xiaoxue's sworn sister. I invited her here because there are ghosts in the building."

Fan Qianzhou feigned surprise and said, "Oh, really? That's too dangerous. I didn't expect this young lady to be not only beautiful but also so capable?"

Zhang Ling naturally understood that the Fan Qianzhou before her wanted to hit on her. She gave a calm smile and said, "It's a pity; if you had come earlier, I might have been willing to let you hit on me, but you're too late now."

After hearing this, Fan Qianzhou felt immediate regret. He hurriedly asked, "Is it because of that pretty boy from just now? I admit he is handsome, but he certainly isn't lacking for girls around him."

Zhang Ling said quite freely, "I know, but his life is harder than yours."

Fan Qianzhou wore a speechless expression. He looked at Zhang Wei and said, "You watch closely, this kind of pretty boy is unreliable."

Having said that, he walked toward Zhang Wei and said loudly, "This gentleman, I find your behavior very suspicious."

Zhang Wei looked back at Fan Qianzhou and saw that his forehead was clouded and his face was dark; he had been very unlucky lately.

Seeing that Zhang Wei made no move, Fan Qianzhou immediately held his head high and puffed out his chest, saying, "Now, come with me to the office!"

Zhang Wei frowned slightly. He didn't quite understand why this person was targeting him, but since he was just a security guard, he prepared to dismiss him casually.

He directly took out his Probationary Inspector credentials and said, "Please do not obstruct official business."

As soon as Fan Qianzhou saw the credentials, his face fell, and he hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, Officer, please continue."

Immediately, he came before Zhang Ling, looking dejected, and said, "He is indeed more suitable than I am."

Zhang Ling couldn't help but chuckle. She turned back to Zhu Bang and said, "Let's go, I'm going to see your Chairman now."

Zhu Bang couldn't spare the time to comfort his uncle; he immediately led the way in front and brought Zhang Ling to the Chairman's office.

The Chairman was no stranger to seeing Zhang Ling. In this circle, many wealthy businessmen believed in some supernatural things, but he did not.

He smiled and said, "I wonder why Miss Zhang has come to see me so suddenly? It must be for something important, right?"

Zhang Ling sat down, nodded, and said, "That's right, Chairman. Your building has a very heavy Yin energy. I have been in this industry for so long, and this is the first time I've seen Yin energy condense into dark clouds."

The Chairman laughed dismissively, "Miss Zhang, it's almost the 21st century now; who still believes in these things? We must value science."

"However, since Miss Zhang feels there is a problem, please go ahead and speak."

Zhang Ling shook her head and said, "For the specific problems, I need to take a look at the building."

The Chairman happened to want to dismiss Zhang Ling, so he shouted outside, "Someone, take Miss Zhang to look around."

"Miss Zhang, the scenery in my building is actually quite good."

Zhu Bang walked in and immediately took Zhang Ling to tour the building.

After Zhang Ling finished inspecting the entire building, she soon arrived at the basement. As she was patrolling the surroundings with a compass, a squad of Japanese invader ghost spirits appeared.

Zhang Ling remained calm and composed, but Zhu Bang was instantly frightened into a cold sweat.

The captain of the Japanese invader ghost squad bared his fangs and threatened, "Baka, you had best not interfere with our Imperial Army's affairs, otherwise we will not be polite to you!"

Zhang Ling said righteously, "I must interfere if you are harming people, and besides, I am Chinese!"

The Japanese invader captain continued to threaten, "We only need ninety-nine human lives, and now we are only short seven. As long as you don't stop these few lives, we will mind our own business."

Zhang Ling sneered, "You are thinking too much. If I let you take a few more lives, I'm afraid your cultivation realms will improve again. How could I let you have your way?"

The Japanese invader captain snorted coldly and said, "I have made my words clear. If you insist on blocking us, then don't blame us for being impolite."

"We could not complete the Emperor's orders while alive, so we must complete them after death. If gods block us, we kill gods; if Buddhas block us, we kill Buddhas!"

Having said that, this squad of Japanese invaders vanished.

Zhang Ling brought the nearly frightened-to-death Zhu Bang back to see the Chairman.

Zhang Ling said with a worried look, "I have already inspected this building. The Feng Shui here belongs to a Yin site; a building should not have been built here."

"A Yin site, so what?" The Chairman wore an indifferent expression.

Zhang Ling reminded him, "Chairman, this matter is very serious. If someone's birth date and time conflict with this Yin site, then that person will be in mortal danger."

The Chairman laughed, "Miss Zhang, aren't you being a bit too alarmist? I don't believe in this set of things. I am a person who only talks about science."

Zhang Ling nodded and said, "If that is the case, then I will use scientific theory to speak with you."

"What is called Yin and Yang corresponds to the positive and negative poles of the Earth's magnetic field. The Feng Shui orientation of Yin and Yang is chosen according to the changes in the magnetic field."

"Those auspicious Feng Shui spots are places where the magnetic field is normal, while those Yin sites and dead sites are places where the magnetic field is chaotic. A chaotic magnetic field will cause an impact on the magnetic field within the human body."

The Chairman looked confused and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."

Zhang Ling smiled and said, "To put it in scientific terms, Chairman, your building is located in an area of chaotic magnetic fields. This place has too few positive ions and too many negative ions."

The Chairman frowned and said, "Alright, I only want to know how to resolve it now."

Zhang Ling nodded and said, "This matter is not difficult. First, one must resolve the Yin energy. The first step is to seal the Heaven and Earth Gates, which means sealing both the rooftop and the parking garage."

"Then, one must lock the Dragon Vein, which means dismantling the elevators and sealing off one floor every seven floors to break the dragon's bones."

"Finally, one must swap the positions of the Azure Dragon and the White Tiger, which means changing the locations of the front and back doors."

"Additionally, the construction for these modifications must be done before the fourteenth day of the seventh lunar month, otherwise it will be useless."

The Chairman asked in confusion, "Why?"

Zhang Ling shook her head and said, "If you want to ask me why, then if you trust me, just follow this method to do it."

The Chairman nodded slightly and said, "I will consider it."

Zhang Ling nodded, then walked toward the direction of Zhang Wei.

The Chairman chuckled and said, "My brain must be broken to do it according to your method. If I do as you say, how much money would I have to spend? Only someone with a sick brain would do that."

Having said that, he cast the matter to the back of his mind.

Meanwhile, Zhu Bang hurriedly caught up to Zhang Ling and asked, "What did the Chairman say?"

Zhang Ling frowned and said, "Don't worry about what he said; in any case, you should resign sooner rather than later."

Zhang Wei also walked over and said, "These bosses won't spend that much money just for the lives of a few employees."

Zhang Ling nodded slightly and said, "Not bad. A-Bang, you should also come to Xiaoxue's house tomorrow night. We will discuss it in detail then."

Xu Bang nodded and agreed to this matter.

Zhang Ling looked at Zhang Wei and said, "Come tomorrow night as well. This building won't have any trouble for a while yet."

Zhang Wei nodded and said, "Very well, I will definitely be there tomorrow night."

The next evening, Zhang Wei arrived at Dai Xue's home. Dai Long was very happy to see Zhang Wei and Zhang Ling arrive together.

He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, Xiao Ling, you have come. I am very happy."

Zhu Bang, who had crowded over from the side, shouted, "Brother Long."

Dai Long looked disgusted and said, "Hey, go away. Don't disturb me while I am entertaining distinguished guests."

Dai Long looked at Zhang Wei with a slightly apologetic expression and said, "Please excuse me, Master. I don't know what my sister is thinking, actually liking such a short, ugly, and poor person. If only I could have a brother-in-law like you, Master."

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Everyone has their own fate; it cannot be forced."

Dai Long nodded hurriedly and said, "What the Master says is absolutely correct. Please, come inside."

Zhang Wei followed Dai Long into the room, while Zhu Bang happened to be arguing with Feng Rende.

As soon as Feng Rende saw Dai Long, he immediately said, "Brother Long, this person wants to challenge me to a game of mahjong."

Dai Long said in surprise, "Oh my, you little fatty, you've got some nerve, actually daring to challenge the Mahjong King. Set up the table!"

Several underlings immediately stepped forward and set up the table, and the surrounding guests immediately stepped forward to watch the show.

Dai Long, Feng Rende, Zhu Bang, and Fan Qianzhou, the four of them, started the table.

As soon as they started playing mahjong, Zhang Wei noticed something was wrong.

He whispered, "Fan Qianzhou and Zhu Bang have both been very unlucky lately. I think they are likely to lose."

Dai Xue hurriedly looked at Zhang Ling and asked, "Sister, what should we do? You must help."

Zhang Ling smiled and opened the Yin Eye for Dai Xue, pointing at the mahjong table, and said, "Look."

Dai Xue saw a Gambling Ghost making trouble there and said in surprise, "What is that?"

Zhang Wei explained, "That is a Mahjong Ghost among the Gambling Ghosts. He died because of playing mahjong, and after death, he still likes to play mahjong. Once someone opens a mahjong table, he will appear."

"Look at Feng Rende's face glowing red; that is the Mahjong Ghost giving him good luck. Fan Qianzhou and Zhu Bang's faces are glowing black; the Mahjong Ghost naturally won't let them win."

Dai Xue hurriedly said, "Brother Wei, please help."

Zhang Ling took the opportunity to give Zhang Wei a flirtatious look. Zhang Wei blinked, immediately pinched a hand seal, and flicked a golden light onto the Mahjong Ghost.

The Mahjong Ghost was greatly alarmed. He looked back at Zhang Wei and the others and hurriedly knelt down, saying, "Spare my life, Upper Immortal!"

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Go help Zhu Bang."

The Mahjong Ghost immediately changed, giving the fortune on his body to Zhu Bang. That Zhu Bang immediately won every hand, and in the blink of an eye, he had caused Feng Rende and Dai Long to lose everything.

Zhang Ling stepped forward and said, "Alright, let's stop here. Brother Long, we still have serious business to discuss."

Zhang Wei also spoke up, saying, "It concerns the building where your sister works."

Dai Long immediately stood up and said, "Right, serious business is more important."

Feng Rende immediately shouted, "Brother Long!"

Dai Long immediately barked, "I am going to talk about serious business!"

Feng Rende immediately shut his mouth.

Soon, the few of them arrived in a study, and Zhang Ling happened to have brought the model of the building.

She looked at Zhang Wei and asked, "Are you familiar with the situation here?"

Zhang Wei nodded and said, "I know a little. This building was built by a Sino-American cooperative design company. In fact, this place used to be the military barracks of the Japanese invaders."

Zhang Ling nodded and said, "Not bad. The engineers who designed this building have already met with misfortune. Furthermore, the boss behind this joint venture is Japanese."

"And I have already been checking the data from the Japanese occupation period. It will take some time, but one thing is certain: the closer this building gets to the fourteenth of July, the more dangerous it becomes."

Zhang Wei nodded and said, "Not bad. I have already set up a Two-Yi Eight-Trigrams Array in the lobby, just waiting for them to appear so I can deal with them."

"It's just that they haven't shown themselves yet. It's not a solution for me to go looking for them one by one. Moreover, there is a Ghost King in this building with very strong power; I might not be a match for it."

Zhang Ling smiled and said, "What are you worried about? If you were in danger, your grandmaster, that First Heavenly Master, would naturally save you."

Zhang Wei coughed and said, "That would be so embarrassing for me. I see you are also of the Profound Gate orthodox lineage; it seems you are from Dragon Tiger Mountain."

Zhang Ling nodded and said, "Not bad. My ancestors were descendants of the Zhang Heavenly Master. They fled from the north more than fifty years ago, and my grandfather came to Hong Kong. Then my father passed the magic arts to me."

Zhang Wei nodded and said, "So that's how it is. No wonder your fate is so tough."

Zhang Ling smiled somewhat mischievously and said, "That's why I'm looking for you."

Zhang Wei said fearlessly, "Heh, I'm not afraid."

Fan Qianzhou looked at the two of them flirting and felt very depressed.

Dai Long said happily, "With the Master and Xiao Ling taking action, my sister will be safe."

Zhang Wei looked at Dai Long and said, "You should be careful yourself. You have a calamity coming up recently."

Zhang Ling nodded and said, "Not bad. Brother Long, it is best if you don't go to that building."

Dai Long hurriedly shook his head and said, "That won't do. Xiaoxue is still there. I feel that I must go pick her up every day these days. And Fan Qianzhou, you bastard, pay back the money sooner!"

Fan Qianzhou hurriedly gave an awkward laugh, nodded, and said, "I know. I will pay the money back."

Zhang Ling said, "When it gets to night, you had best not enter the building's restrooms or the basement, nor get close to the chairman's office."

Zhu Bang and Fan Qianzhou hurriedly nodded and said, "I know."

After giving these instructions, the group immediately went to attend the old lady's birthday party.

The next day, Zhang Wei continued to squat in the lobby of the building, while Zhang Ling went to investigate more information.

Dai Xue, Zhu Bang, and Fan Qianzhou went to work as usual.

However, this night, Zhang Wei clearly felt the appearance of Yin Qi.

On this side, Xiaoxue was saying goodbye to Zhu Bang. After Xiaoxue left, Fan Qianzhou immediately walked up and said, "You brat, you must help your uncle."

Zhu Bang asked in confusion, "Uncle, what is it you need my help with?"

Fan Qianzhou immediately said, "It's about Xiaoxue's sworn sister."

Zhu Bang said with some difficulty, "But isn't Sister Xiaoling already with that Master Zhang..."

Fan Qianzhou urged, "Why do you care about that? I am your uncle."

Zhu Bang had no choice but to nod and say, "Alright, I'll do my best."

Only then did Fan Qianzhou nod in satisfaction.

Just as he was preparing to leave, Datou arrived wearing a ghost mask, intending to scare someone; Fan Qianzhou struck him and cursed, "What kind of nonsense are you pulling?"

Datou hurriedly pulled off the mask and said, "It's just that Bangchui said earlier there were ghosts, so I wanted to give him a scare."

"Damn it, get back to work properly." Recalling that the building was dangerous and thinking that Zhang Wei needed to stay in the building, Fan Qianzhou left in a hurry.
