Chapter 464: Everything Is a Coincidence

~7 min read 1,275 words

Lin Yang was unaware of what had happened to the Huo Family.

Lin Yang was being taken by Chu Guozhong to a five-star hotel to stay.

"Mr. Lin, are you satisfied with this hotel?"

"Just take me directly to the site to have a look; once the matter is settled, I can go attend to my own business."

Hearing Lin Yang say that, Chu Guozhong smiled obsequiously.

"Then I'll trouble you."

"Come with me to the storeroom."

The two of them sat in Chu Guozhong's dedicated car, heading to the storeroom.

The storeroom was located in an old-style villa.

Outside the villa, ornamental plants such as pine trees were planted.

Lin Yang observed the villa for a moment, then spoke up.

"This villa looks ordinary from the outside."

Chu Guozhong sighed upon hearing that and said.

"Please take a look inside first, then we can talk."

Saying that, he walked to the front of the house and pushed open the main door.

"Creak!"

The heavy sound of the door opening made Lin Yang involuntarily frown.

A decent villa shouldn't produce such a door-opening sound.

He stepped into the villa and looked around.

The interior was very damp; in some low spots on the floor, water could even be seen.

Some of the rosewood furniture had already begun to rot.

"Gold fluff on the outside, rotten fluff within."

"Boss Chu, why don't you have someone tidy up this villa?"

Bringing this up, Chu Guozhong gave a bitter smile and said.

"It's not that I don't want to maintain it, but the people I hired did not die mysteriously inside this house."

"or they fell seriously ill."

"That's why I invited those masters to take a look."

After saying that, he nervously looked at Lin Yang.

Hearing that, Lin Yang lifted his gaze and surveyed the surroundings.

"The feng shui of a house is related to the placement of its furniture and the orientation of its doors and windows."

"However, your house has no issues in those aspects."

"That can only mean one of two things: either someone deliberately set a trap in this house, or you inadvertently brought something you shouldn't have back into it."

Hearing Lin Yang's words, Chu Guozhong said nervously.

"Then I'll trouble you!"

"Since this incident occurred, our Chu family's business has been getting worse and worse."

Lin Yang said: "Since the interior layout poses no problem, then take me to see your goods."

"Okay."

Originally, for Chu Guozhong, who was in the raw materials business, inventory would not be shown to outsiders.

But now, in these critical times, he agreed without even thinking.

Just as the two were about to go to the storeroom, a sound came from the doorway, causing them to turn their heads.

"Grand Master Lan, if you can solve our family's problem, I am willing to give you five hundred million."

A man in his forties, wearing a suit, obsequiously brought in a middle-aged man dressed in a red monk's robe.

Although the man was wearing a monk's robe, he still had hair on his head.

Upon entering, his gaze fell upon Lin Yang.

Seeing the man in the suit, Chu Guozhong frowned and said.

"Little brother, what are you doing?"

Chu Guoqiang chuckled and said.

"Big brother, I have invited the eminent monk Grand Master Lan from the southeast region this time; he will surely be able to solve our family's problem."

Hearing his younger brother's words, Chu Guozhong felt embarrassed and glanced at Lin Yang.

Then he scolded his younger brother, saying.

"What nonsense are you spouting? I invited Mr. Lin myself."

Upon hearing that, Chu Guoqiang turned his gaze to Lin Yang, frowned, and said.

"Big brother, is this the expert you summoned from the inland?"

"I think this kid is so young; you must not have been deceived, right?"

Hearing this, Chu Guozhong felt a bit embarrassed.

"Shut up; if you can't speak properly, don't speak at all!"

Then, looking apologetically at Lin Yang, he said.

"Mr. Lin, sorry, my brother speaks without restraint..."

"It's fine; since you've brought someone in, I'll be on my way."

He looked at the monk and saw a string of bones hanging from his chest, which looked rather frightening.

The monk also looked toward Lin Yang.

When Lin Yang walked past him, the monk said.

"Sir, you seem to have some ability."

"Why don't we join forces to resolve the Chu family's crisis?"

"No thanks, I believe the master can resolve it himself."

Chu Guozhong saw Lin Yang about to leave and hurried forward to speak.

"Mr. Lin, I'll have someone send you to the hotel."

Seeing Lin Yang about to leave, the monk also said.

"Young friend, if you have any worries, speak up and maybe I can resolve them."

Lin Yang directly ignored his words.

Upon their first meeting, they were both this enthusiastic.

Abnormal occurrences inevitably involve something uncanny.

Seeing Chu Guozhong still so respectful toward him, Lin Yang took out three talismans and handed them to Chu Guozhong.

"At a critical moment, this talisman can save your life."

"Keep it with you, don't tell outsiders, especially that monk."

Hearing Lin Yang's reminder, Chu Guozhong instinctively looked toward the Lan Master from the southeastern region.

"Does he have any problems?"

Lin Yang had wanted to say something, but ultimately he said.

"Maybe I was overthinking; you can go back first."

"Someone, send Mr. Lin to the Carlton Hotel."

After Lin Yang was sent away, Chu Guozhong returned indoors.

Lan Master, seeing this, inquired.

"That young friend just now, is he from the inland?"

"Yes, he is quite famous even in the inland."

The monk slowly nodded and said.

"Indeed, heroes emerge from youth."

"If there's a chance, I definitely want to talk with him."

As he spoke, a strange light flickered in his eyes.

Sitting in the car, Lin Yang seemed to sense something and couldn't help but gaze at the receding villa.

Having reached this realm, he could now to some extent avoid misfortune and attract good fortune.

That feeling just now was clearly someone scheming against him.

"I don't know whether it's him or the Huo family planning something."

Just thinking of the Huo family, he exhaled and rubbed his forehead.

As for the matter of Huo Shui Xian, it ultimately affected his state of mind.

Thinking of this, he let out a sigh.

Arriving at the hotel, the driver arranged a suite for him.

Lin Yang, not standing on ceremony, moved in.

Not long after Lin Yang checked in, the sky began to drizzle.

This eased Lin Yang's already restless mind somewhat.

At night, the rain grew heavier.

He stood by the window, gazing at the neon-lit Xianggang, his eyes drifting far.

"If I were to meet Huo Shui Xian, should I go confront her?"

At that moment, he suddenly saw a woman in a pink long dress running down below in the heavy rain.

Behind her, a group of people followed.

Lin Yang focused his vision and looked toward the woman.

In a daze, he felt the woman somewhat resembled Huo Shui Xian.

Thus, he opened the window and leapt down.

Huo Yanfei watched the black-clad figure drawing ever closer, her heart filled with tension.

Just then, a figure descended from the sky.

A powerful shockwave temporarily pushed the rain aside.

Lin Yang glanced at Huo Yanfei and asked.

"Do you know them?"

"I don't know them; they started following me for no reason."

Hearing this, Lin Yang picked up his long sword, struck the ground with a single slash, carving a ravine.

"Get lost!"

"Anyone who steps forward dies!"
