Chapter 1281: Playing Both Sides

Hearing Su Chengfeng's question, the image of Ye Chen once again surfaced in Wu Donghai's mind. A chill couldn't help but rise from the depths of his heart. Immediately after, he replied, "Old Master Su, to tell you the truth, regarding the matter of Xiao Qi, I had suspected before that it might have been man-made. However, after investigating, I didn't find any relevant clues, so the possibility of a natural disaster might be greater, or perhaps the child suffered some kind of trauma himself."

Su Chengfeng asked him, "Have you asked your son what unusual memories or impressions he had before and after the incident?"

Wu Donghai said truthfully, "I did ask him that, but he told me there was a blank period in his memory before the incident that he couldn't recall at all."

Su Chengfeng nodded thoughtfully and said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, then I estimate the possibility of it being man-made is much greater!"

Wu Donghai asked with feigned shock, "Old Master Su, do you mean someone intentionally harmed my son?"

"Yes!" Su Chengfeng said seriously, "Generally speaking, even if someone has mental problems, they wouldn't have such strange manifestations as your son."

After finishing, he asked again, "And I heard that your son's condition seems to flare up once every hour, is that right?"

Wu Donghai said very awkwardly, "That's correct, it is indeed so."

Su Chengfeng gave a hum and said seriously, "Then that's even more problematic! Normally, even if a person has intermittent mental illness, intermittent epilepsy, or even intermittent convulsions, these are relatively random and have absolutely no pattern to speak of. So, while some people might suddenly get up and sleepwalk while asleep, or suddenly have an epileptic seizure and convulse all over, have you ever heard of anyone whose illness has such a regular frequency of once every hour? This is clearly not right!"

Wu Donghai thought to himself, "Of course I know it's not right, I even know that all of this was done by that bastard Ye Chen! But what can I do? The Eight Great Heavenly Kings of our family were all taken care of by Ye Chen. If I continue to go against him, who knows, one day I might end up like my son, becoming a poor wretch who has to eat that thing once every hour..."

Thinking of this, he felt depressed, but on the surface, he still pretended to be extremely shocked and asked, "Old Master Su... who do you think would have such ability to make my son suffer from this kind of illness?"

Su Chengfeng said, "There are too many possibilities for this kind of thing. Whether it's our country's Feng Shui secret arts or Southeast Asian puppet curses, there are such means that science cannot explain. I think you should find a Xuanxue master to take a good look at your son; perhaps they might be able to see the clues to the problem!"

"A Xuanxue master?!" Wu Donghai said seriously, "To be honest, our family really doesn't know any Xuanxue masters. I have heard that there are some people in Hong Kong who specialize in Feng Shui and Xuanxue; I don't know if there are any experts over there."

Su Chengfeng said, "Among the two shores and three regions, Hong Kong should be the most developed in Xuanxue. However, if you really want to talk about top-tier Xuanxue masters, you still have to go to the United States to find them."

"The United States?!" Wu Donghai was even more surprised and asked, "Old Master Su, I don't quite understand. Isn't Feng Shui and Xuanxue something from our Chinese ancestors? Why should top Xuanxue masters be looked for in the United States?"

Su Chengfeng smiled indifferently and said seriously, "Any truly formidable Xuanxue master basically comes from generations, or even dozens of generations, of ancestors who have painstakingly studied Xuanxue. The history of the entire family studying Xuanxue might exceed a thousand years. Once a huge upheaval occurs in history, some truly capable older-generation Xuanxue masters will calculate the clues in advance and then avoid them beforehand."

As he spoke, he explained again, "Anyone who has studied history knows that in '37, our China experienced a huge catastrophe. At that time, many top Xuanxue families had already calculated this disaster on the land of China a year or two in advance, and many fled overseas early. Those who didn't flee were either those masters who were for the country and the people, or those second-rate hacks who lacked ability and level and couldn't calculate the disaster at all."

"And those top masters who stayed behind also poured their heart and blood into the country. Coupled with the eight-year war, many died or were injured, and a large batch of Xuanxue masters in the country withered away. On the contrary, that batch that fled overseas survived intact."

Wu Donghai couldn't help but ask, "Old Master Su, I have one more thing I don't understand. Why did these Xuanxue masters who fled all go to the United States?"

Su Chengfeng laughed, "Think back to the World War II history you learned in junior high school. At that time, the whole world was in ruins. Europe, known as the birthplace of modern civilization, was also beaten into a mess, and even Britain was bombed into ruins, not to mention the European continent."

"Looking at the whole world, only the United States was almost untouched by the war, except for the small attack on Pearl Harbor. Those true Xuanxue masters had long calculated the peace and tranquility of the United States in those years, so almost all of them fled to the United States with their families in one go. For others, World War II was a war-torn time, but for these people, World War II was just enjoying their old age in the United States."

After finishing, Su Chengfeng added, "If you need it, I can help you find a top Xuanxue master from the United States and let him come to see your son's situation."

Wu Donghai asked with some excitement, "Old Master Su, are you serious?"

"Of course!" Su Chengfeng smiled slightly and said seriously, "Since we are both interested in binding together to do some big things, then I must show something. How about this, I will arrange for someone to help contact them and let the master take a plane over as soon as possible. If the speed is fast, the master might arrive tomorrow night."

Although Wu Donghai didn't dare to betray Ye Chen, when he thought that the Xuanxue master brought by Su Chengfeng might really have the ability to cure his son, he couldn't help but feel excited.

This also made him experience the feeling of playing both sides. If he could cleverly maneuver between Ye Chen and the Su family, wouldn't he be able to please both sides and obtain benefits from both?

Thinking of this, Wu Donghai hurriedly stood up, cupped his hands, bowed, and said, "On behalf of my son, I thank you, Old Master Su! If you need me in the future, just give an order. Even if it's a mountain of blades or a sea of fire, I will not dare to disobey!"

Su Chengfeng waved his hand and said casually, "Little Wu, there is no need to be polite between you and me."

After finishing, he looked at Su Shoudao and instructed him, "Shoudao, you go back and chat with Old Master Mai in Los Angeles. It would be best to invite Old Master Mai to come out of retirement personally and make a trip to Su Hang."

Su Shoudao nodded and said hurriedly, "I know, Dad. It's probably not even dawn in Los Angeles time now. Should I wait an hour or two before contacting him?"

"Good." Su Chengfeng smiled slightly and sighed, "I haven't seen Old Master Mai for years either. If Old Master Mai is willing to give me face and come over personally this time, I will also let him calculate for me. Recently, everything in the Su family has been going poorly, and we have encountered various blows one after another. It might even have a lot to do with Feng Shui and fortune!" ===== CHAPTER 1282 =====
