"Aunt Qing, don't worry. If they want to move against me, they need to think twice. Right now, I'm just an active prisoner in Huaxia," Xiao Yefeng said.
"You mean the officials are still watching?" Liu Qing, the head of the Liu Family, quickly grasped the situation. Clearly, although Xiao Yefeng appeared free, as a former international mercenary, he would be under surveillance by Huaxia. Therefore, any attempt to harm him would risk offending the authorities.
The two continued their conversation for a long time. One was the son of an old friend, and the other was a seasoned entrepreneur. In the end, Liu Qing invited Xiao Yefeng to a family banquet scheduled for a month later. Initially, Xiao Yefeng intended to decline, but after Liu Qing mentioned something, he agreed with red eyes filled with anger.
Thus, Liu Qing left Azure Willow Villa. It turned out that she had rushed back to Huaxia for the issues concerning Xiao Yefeng and Liu Yiyi. Originally, she was supposed to be in America negotiating a contract with a business partner. Upon hearing that Liu Yiyi wanted someone from the family to investigate a person's background internationally, Liu Qing became very curious. After agreeing to Liu Yiyi's request, she checked Xiao Yefeng's information before Liu Yiyi did.
However, it was quite difficult to investigate a mercenary's background. But checking on a retired mercenary with a known name was much easier. Upon reviewing the information, Liu Qing realized there was an issue and decided to retrieve Liu Xuanhuang's data again. This time, she understood that the person she had been searching for all these years had actually appeared. Consequently, Liu Qing canceled everything and took a private jet back to Huaxia.
Having resolved everything and found the son of an old friend brought relief to Liu Qing after years of worry. With a joyful heart, she left. As for her daughter Liu Yiyi, Liu Qing entrusted her to Xiao Yefeng, believing that with him around, Liu Yiyi would be safe.
A night passed without incident. Under the arrangement of the servants, Xiao Yefeng settled into Azure Willow Villa. As dawn broke with a sharp pain in her chest, Liu Yiyi woke up in her room. She immediately sought out her long-missed mother but learned from the servants that her mother had left after having an extensive conversation with Xiao Yefeng the previous night and had done so happily.
After leaving her room, Liu Yiyi discovered Xiao Yefeng exercising in the garden. Seeing him alive and well eased her worries; although she didn't know how he managed to appease her mother, it was best that nothing went wrong.
"You’re awake! How do you feel? Is your chest still hurting? If it is, I can help you with acupuncture; just one session will eliminate the pain!" Xiao Yefeng said with a smile.
"You rogue! Why didn’t my mother kick you out?" Liu Yiyi glared at Xiao Yefeng in embarrassment and anger before continuing.
"Now hold on! I’m currently Aunt Qing’s personally hired Geomancer responsible for Wankang Pharmaceuticals and all Liu Family enterprises in Hangzhou regarding feng shui issues. In some respects, I’m your employee now; why would you want to get rid of me?" Xiao Yefeng replied.
"What! My mom hired you as the feng shui consultant for the Hangzhou branch? What about Brother Lu?" Upon hearing that Xiao Yefeng had become the feng shui consultant for Hangzhou, Liu Yiyi forgot about him and instead expressed concern for Lu Zhan.
Although it was quite normal, Xiao Yefeng had already guessed that Liu Yiyi liked Lu Zhan the moment he first mentioned Lu Zhan's name. However, at this moment, Xiao Yefeng felt a twinge of jealousy. Last night, Liu Qing had informed him about some matters concerning Lu Zhan. Although it wasn't comprehensive, Xiao Yefeng understood some of Lu Zhan's situation.
Lu Zhan was a disciple of Longhu Mountain, twenty-two years old, skilled in Feng Shui, which involved seeking dragons and locating graves as well as fortune-telling. When it came to seeking dragons and locating graves, Lu Zhan was quite adept. However, whether it was due to hiding his skills or a lack of learning, Lu Zhan was not very good at dealing with earth spirits and ghosts. He could clearly see many problems but often handled solutions in a chaotic manner.
After hearing Liu Qing's words, Xiao Yefeng was almost certain that Lu Zhan was hiding his true abilities. Yet, he couldn't understand why Lu Zhan would do such a thing. Longhu Mountain took the responsibility of exorcising evil spirits seriously; how could he hide his skills in such situations? Was the problem with Lu Zhan himself?
At this moment, Xiao Yefeng didn't dwell on it and directly said, "Don't worry about Lu Zhan! He already submitted his resignation when the Feng Shui issue couldn't be resolved. However, I heard from Aunt Qing that Lu Zhan has been hired as the Feng Shui consultant for the Liu Family, so overall, it seems like he's been promoted!"
After their conversation and having breakfast, Mei Mo'er arrived to pick them up and take them back to Wankang Building. During the drive, Mei Mo'er chatted with both of them extensively, especially eager to hear Xiao Yefeng explain how he planned to solve the problem.
However, Xiao Yefeng also felt like he was crossing a river by feeling the stones; he needed to explain clearly based on his memories. So he promised the Two Goddesses that they could observe the conditions later, which finally silenced Mei Mo'er.
Before long, they arrived at the imposing Feng Shui setup of Five Tigers Gathering. Coincidentally, it was Saturday, and most companies in Wankang Building were closed for the day. As a result, there were fewer people around. However, as soon as Xiao Yefeng got out of the car, he noticed that the previously slightly restless earth spirit energy had become much more agitated. With the help of Heart Decision, he activated his Yin-Yang Eye and saw that this earth spirit energy was taking advantage of the reduced number of people to stir up trouble.
"Indeed, I cannot let you stay; you're so aggressive that once you take shape, you will surely harm this area!" Xiao Yefeng muttered to himself while looking at the building.
"What do you mean?" the Two Goddesses asked in confusion.
"You can't see it? Today is a holiday; thus the flow of people inside the building has decreased by two-thirds. Once the flow decreases, the power of the Five Tigers Gathering Feng Shui setup diminishes significantly. The weakening of human presence and financial energy allows earth spirit energy to thrive. I believe during previous weekends, there were instances where employees with weak constitutions fainted while working overtime here!" Xiao Yefeng explained while observing the building.
"Brother Xiao is truly impressive; it's as if you've seen all this with your own eyes! Indeed, this situation arises as soon as the building starts operating. At first, no company took it seriously; after all, employees are under great pressure at work and tend to complain about working overtime on weekends. Moreover, some people have poor health and fainting incidents are common. However, after Uncle Qin Wu passed away recently, all company executives held meetings and realized that this phenomenon wasn't an isolated case but occurred across all companies. That's when our families began to pay attention to it," Mei Mo'er elaborated.
"Indeed! The earth spirit energy is devouring these people's vitality. Fortunately, there are enough people here; if there were fewer individuals around, this earth spirit energy would have caused fatalities long ago. Thankfully, more people help distribute their vitality supply. Since that's the case, I can't hold back anymore! Initially, I planned to go easy on them out of compassion for life; but since it's come to this point, don't blame me for being ruthless!" With that thought in mind, Xiao Yefeng's demeanor changed dramatically as he stepped into the elevator heading downstairs.
At that moment, Liu Yiyi and Mei Mo'er exchanged a glance before following Xiao Yefeng. The main building of Wankang Pharmaceuticals had thirty-three floors above ground and five underground levels serving as a parking lot and storage area. The basement was inevitably a bit chilly, and Liu Yiyi and Mei Mo'er held hands tightly as they trailed behind Xiao Yefeng. Soon, they found themselves in the spacious cargo passage of the Underground Fifth Floor, where the only sound besides the faint overhead lights was the echo of the two goddesses' high heels striking the ground.
Liu Yiyi said, "I see those geomancers are looking for a time with strong yang energy to solve the problem. Otherwise, we might as well wait until noon to come down!"
"Haha, don't just follow what others say. Think about it—where is there any sunlight in this Underground Fifth Floor? It's just like night here, so it's always dark. The key point is that this real Underground Fifth Floor, combined with the thirty-three floors above, means there are thirty-eight layers blocking direct sunlight from reaching here. How could any yang energy possibly get through?" Xiao Yefeng chuckled at the sight of the two goddesses before continuing.
Just after finishing his words, Xiao Yefeng suddenly froze. Thirty-eight layers! Thirty-eight layers! He kept murmuring this phrase to himself until suddenly, an idea struck him. He dashed toward Liu Yiyi and exclaimed, "Do you still have the architectural blueprints for this building? Let me see them quickly—are there really thirty-eight and a half floors here?"
