Chapter 1387: Fantasy Antique Shop Part‑Time Log 21

Since that inheritance surfaced, Gu Pan has regarded everyone as an opponent, willing to pay any price to obtain it.

Coincidentally, at that time I met Jiefu; we hit it off and decided to join forces to kill the other members of the Gu Family.

Unlike humans, fierce ghosts are never investigated by the police, so Gu Pan almost recklessly thinks up nasty tricks.

And the newly discovered joint tomb of the couple's descendants that Jiefu found is the core of the plan.

Seize the descendants' yin souls, force them into the jade pendant, and give it to each member of the Gu Family, especially Chang Yi Qian.

Then strip away the yin garments, frame Gu Meng, leaving yin energy inside Chang Yi Qian and Guli.

As soon as the marital evil takes shape, it will immediately come to take revenge.

This way, Chang Yi Qian and Guli will both die, and after the police investigate everywhere, they will ultimately only trace it to Gu Meng, who had dealings with the wedding dress shop.

It's basically killing three birds with one stone.

"Wait… what about me?" Gu Cun listened for a long time, but never heard how Gu Pan planned to frame him.

Gu Pan glanced at him and coldly snorted, "Hmph!"

Gu Cun: "???"

What does that mean!

Lu Qiu kindly translated, "He probably means you're not worthy."

Gu Cun: "……"

So angry!

I'm calling Father right now!

Guli wiped away her tears, shook her head and sighed, "You…"

"I had actually discussed this with Dage; even if we inherit the estate, we won't keep it all for ourselves—we'll ask a trust and a notary to divide it equally."

Guli trembled as she finished saying that, then couldn't go on: "How could you… disregard blood ties for money?"

Gu Pan didn't believe it, his eyes red as he demanded, "Equal split? On what basis? Dage is the eldest son inheriting the overseas holdings—I have nothing to say!"

"What gives you the right? As a woman, the Old Master wants you to control all domestic assets! What gives you the right? I get nothing!"

Slap—

Gu Meng slapped Gu Pan hard, "You're sick! Look at yourself! To manage the family business you need a… you lunatic!"

Everyone: "……"

The words are crude but the reasoning is sound.

But it's also a little too crude.

Chang Yi Qian supported Guli, his voice sinking: "Leave the rest to the police."

"Butler, lock Gu Pan up."

"Yes, Second Uncle."

The butler sighed, shook his head, and quickly called a few security guards over.

Chang Yi Qian steadied himself and handed over the promised check to Jin Chen.

Ying Wu Shu said, "Mr. Chang, the jade you bought at Ling Qing Du the other day—exactly four pieces—can nurture souls."

Chang Yi Qian was startled, then realized, "The boss really is… divinely insightful."

Thanks to that impulsive trip that day.

Otherwise we would have truly died pointlessly.

Gu Cun came over, "Boss Ying! Can I join you?"

He proudly rolled up his sleeve, "I've got money and blood! When I see a ghost I run, never holding back!"

Ying Wu Shu: "……"

What an amazing self‑recommendation.

However, a Profound Yang Body is indeed a once‑in‑a‑century occurrence.

Ying Wu Shu smiled faintly, "Ling Qing Du welcomes your arrival."

Guli: "Good!"

Grand Master Xuan Gui stroked his beard, "Ling Qing Du…"

That name sounds familiar.

Could it be that the Brocade Gate has a station in the city?

Hmm… I need to go back and tell the Sect Leader, but we can't lose to the Brocade Gate!

The Brocade Gate opens a outpost! Their Profound Gate opens ten!

"Ten branches! Ten, you Second Uncle!"

Two hours later, the Sect Leader of the Profound Gate was so angry at this old man that he smashed his brush.

"Do you know what kind of place Ling Qing Du is!"

Grand Master Xuan Gui shook his head, "Wasn't I just coming to ask you that?"

The Sect Leader mused, "The Profound Gate has been passed down to now, barely over three hundred years, and even the older Brocade Gate has only lasted five hundred years without interruption."

"Ling Qing Du, however, has a thousand‑year lineage, each successor possessing talent without exception."

Grand Master Xuan Gui exclaimed, "A thousand years?!"

The Sect Leader walked with hands behind his back, "Ling Qing Du never engages with the aristocratic clans; it's said each successor burns all ties to the clans before death."

"How come this generation… actually has dealings with the Brocade Gate?"

"Could it be that the Brocade Gate is planning some big move again!"

"Like this, you bring Xuan He back; I have matters to instruct him on."

"Alright, Sect Leader."

——

Over here, Ying Wu Shu and the three of them returned home, and incidentally brought along the two sets of Yin Garments that needed to be sealed.

"It's too late today; rest well first, and tomorrow we'll go to Pure Spirit Ford to seal the Yin Garments."

Ying Wu Shu was exhausted to the point of inability; upon returning home he kept yawning twice, looking dazed.

Luo Qiu nodded repeatedly, "I'm going back to my room to sleep; I can't hold on any longer; good night, good night!"

Jin Chen, however, said, "I have important matters to attend to; I'll come back tomorrow morning."

Ying Wu Shu instantly became much more alert, raised his eyes to ask him, involuntarily nervous: "Is it dangerous? Do you need my help?"

Jin Chen gave a light chuckle, tapped the dark circles under his eyes, and said, "Go to sleep early; you don't need to help."

Ying Wu Shu's biological clock was so regular that even staying up a little late made his fatigue clearly visible.

"You haven't eaten much for dinner tonight; shall I first make you a bowl of noodles, then we can go later?"

Jin Chen stopped the person who wanted to enter the kitchen, wrapped both arms around Ying Wu Shu's shoulders, and kept some distance.

"I'm not hungry; you hurry up and go to sleep."

Ying Wu Shu could only comply.

"Then you… come back early, otherwise we'll miss breakfast." Ying Wu Shu was still worried, but didn't feel comfortable saying it directly; he pinched his fingertips and softly asked, "Are you going to catch ghosts?"

"Well, the fierce ghost sealed by Brocade Gate has escaped nearby; I just received the summons from Brocade Gate."

Jin Chen felt resentful; the old man was still bothering him this late, leaving no time for the part-time worker to sleep.

He suddenly approached.

Ying Wu Shu was embraced, dazed for two seconds, and before he could regain his senses, his head was rubbed.

"Charge up."

Jin Chen's voice was somewhat hoarse and tired; his jaw pressed against Ying Wu Shu's shoulder, and the tingling sensation made Ying Wu Shu shudder.

Ying Wu Shu hesitated, then raised his hand to pat Jin Chen's back; his usual aloof voice was soft, somewhat tender.

"Go home early."

"Okay."

Jin Chen straightened up, smiling as he smoothed out the wrinkled corner of Ying Wu Shu's clothes.

"Leaving."

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value +5, total 42!】

Watching Jin Chen leave, the unfastened window let in the chilly autumn wind of the early morning, and Ying Wu Shu suddenly felt a bit cold.

It was precisely this chill that made the earlier embrace feel especially warm.

Ying Wu Shu rubbed his arms, closed the window and door, and went upstairs to rest.

The living room light was left on; if a night wanderer returns, upon entering the courtyard they would see that lamp lit for him.
