Chapter 57
Speaking of this uncle Zheng Shuang, I had heard of him already . After all, I was quite familiar with the circles of the rich . Therefore, about Zhou Kun, I did know something about him . However, he had kept this mistress of his hidden well without being discovered by anyone . I didn't know about this until I was told by Lao Shisan . Then Chongxi and I spent a whole night on fortunetelling to learn the entire story . At the same time, we planned a despicable scheme .
In the present, the three of us drove to Xi Guan to meet up with Zheng Shuang . After I met Zheng Shuang, we went to a villa with two floors . We rang the doorbell many times, but no one answered . We looked at each other in the eye, and Zheng Shuang said, "Well, this is a bad start!" I laughed and teased, "Take it easy, the trouble is yet to come . Keep ringing the doorbell . " After we repeated it many times more, a young woman finally opened the door . When she saw us, she questioned our purpose and looked at us as if we were perverts . I dropped Zheng Shuang a hint to show his identification . Seeing that he was a police officer, she reluctantly let us in .
After we entered the living room, coming straight to the point, Zheng Shuang said to the young woman directly, "Please ask my uncle to meet us . I know he is here!" She glared with her eyes wide-opened and said, "Who is your uncle?!" Zheng Shuang replied, "Zhou Kun is my uncle! Please ask him to come out!" Before she said anything, a tall man walked out of a room! Zheng Shuang stood up in a rush, walked up to him, and greeted him, "Uncle . " Then he took out a cigarette and lit it for Zhou Kun . After everyone sat down, Zheng Shuang started ahead and said, "I am sorry to bother you under these circumstances . We came because we had no other choice . And we definitely have no intent to peek into your life . Please excuse us, Uncle!" Zhou Kun said in an impatient voice, "Tell me what you want!" Zheng Shuang pointed at me and said, "This is Chief Murong from the De Chang Center for Paranormal Studies, also the son of a celebrity in our county - Murong Hai . He would tell you!" I walked up to Zhou Kun, shook hands with him, and said, "The reason we came this time is that there's something involving you . We had no choice but to reach out to you . You had a son who died recently, right? That's what we have come for!"
He glowered at me with his eyes full of hostility and asked, "What do you want?" I answered, "I want to save him!" Before I could finish talking, he interrupted me, "That's enough . What the hell! I am in a bad mood and don't need more of a mess from you! Stop making things mysterious!" Then he turned to Zheng Shuang and said, "I guess the university has turned you into an idiot over these years . You work in the police department . And you believe in this shit!" I stood up, faced the young woman, and said in a serious voice, "Mr . Zhou, you just treated my kindness with ingratitude! Do you dare to make a million-dollar bet with me? If I save the kid, safe and sound, you pay me a million dollars to buy him back . If I fail, I will pay you a million dollars . Zheng Shuang would be the witness . What do you think?"
The young woman grew intrigued right away and looked at Zhou Kun! Zhou Kun said to her, "Don't be fooled . Have you ever heard of someone digging out a child who was buried for three days and bringing him back to life?" I gritted my teeth and said, "Have I asked you about how many days the child was buried? Have I said that I would dig him out? I am a stubborn man . I am up to do this bet! Do you dare!" "Of course I dare!" Before Zhou Kun could answer, the young woman forestalled him . I said, "Good! But there's something you should know first . You need to cooperate fully with me! If you try to sabotage my actions, I won't admit defeat if I lose!" Zhou Kun said with his eyes wide-opened, "Would I even undermine you? Just say it! What should I do?" I replied, "Call your workers to come and let them fill the house until there's no space left . Then the three of us will take turns to give speeches about magic arts . The workers will need to listen to us, no talking and shouting, and no noise . After they leave, they need to keep their mouths shut! As for your lady here, if you want to keep it a secret, you can ask her to temporarily move to another place in case the workers see her!" Zhou Kun answered immediately, "That will be alright . But I don't believe you can create a miracle!" I clapped my hands once, "A deal is a deal! I am going home now to bring the money . Cash or card?" Zhou Kun waved his hand, "Having my nephew as a witness, I don't need to verify your capital . I believe in Murong Hai's economic power . Let's go get ready!"

After I arranged everything, I stayed at a place nearby . When I went downstairs, I talked to Chongxi and Lin Feng . Chongxi asked puzzled, "Shiyan, are you sure this will work? Are you sure that the ghost didn't lie to us?" I cackled, "Heyhey, rest assured . She had a little cultivation before her death under my sword and knew that my Spirit Gourd is not normal . If she lied to me, I would use her to practice alchemy!" Then I shook the calabash gourd in my hand, and a slight groan came out of it . The ghost must have heard me talking inside .
The next day, the room was full of workers listening to Lin Feng's speech . However, there was no speech at all . There was a desk in the front with an old-fashioned wooden armchair behind it . Lin Feng lay on the armchair and fell asleep with loud snores . Sometimes he woke up to drink a mouthful of water, then went back to sleep! The workers under the stage all watched him sleeping, with their eyes looking at each other flabbergasted . However, no one dared to say anything because they were told by the boss that they would still get paid as usual for standing there for a week . Instead, they were glad to have this leisure time and chatting aimlessly . The third day, Chongxi took his turn . The way he slept was very amusing because he not only ground his teeth but also smacked his lips . The workers also got tired for standing a long time, moving their feet back and forth .

The fourth day, it was my turn . As previously, I also lay on the armchair and slept . Heyhey! After a while, it was time . I stood up, picked up the calabash gourd, and drank a mouthful of water . Then with my neck leaning back, I gargled a few times with grunts on purpose . Towards the corner of the walls, I spit up the water abruptly . The workers were taken aback and rushed to avoid it! Everyone moved away except one who was leaning against the corner of the walls tightly with his hands covering his face, crying out! However, when people looked at him, they found that they didn't know this man . He wasn't a worker in the factory at all!
I walked up to the man in stride and said with sarcasm, "You let your curiosity take over you and came after all . You should know that curiosity kills the cat! Heyhey! You knew that you could do Nanyang Arcana, but you didn't know that I would crowd you up . The room is wholly crowded, with no space left . You want to hide? Not a chance! Therefore, you showed your true colors in my holy water! Say! Where did you hide the kid!" The man laughed with coldness and said, "Do you think that I would tell you?" I sniggered and answered with a question, "Do you think that you wouldn't tell me?" Everyone got confused . At this moment, stepping and jumping on people's shoulders, a man came into the room from outside . Then he put forth his strength and gave that man two hard slaps on both sides of his face . The slaps were so hard that they made the man tremble and shake . Before he could stand steadily, with a snap, I posted a charm-paper on his face . Then he started to wander out of the room as if he had memory loss . I waved my hands to hint the workers to exit from the side door in order . Then Zheng Shuang and the three of us followed the man and tagged along .
In about half an hour, we followed him to a housing estate . We went up to the second floor and reached a door . Then the man opened the security door . Before his next move, Zheng Shuang rushed forward and kicked the other door open . There was a nanny in the room, holding a child . . .

However, when the door was open, a draught came through from the window on the other side of the room and blew off the charm-paper on the man's face . The man seemed to get a chill and came to his senses after a quiver . Then he immediately turned around and ran downstairs . I took out the calabash gourd and followed behind . When he just reached the stair platform, a hammer came of out nowhere and hit him on his ankle . The force was so strong that his ankle got a comminuted fracture . Then with a shout, he fell forward . Before he could touch the ground, my calabash gourd let out suction and sucked in his two vigors! Chongxi stood up with the hammer in his hand and gave me a high five!
At this point, Zheng Shuang rushed downstairs with a gun in his hand . I waved at him to imply that I already took care of the matter . Then with a sigh of relief, Zheng Shuang put back his gun . He walked downstairs, pointed at this man on the ground, and asked, "Brother Yan, what happened to this bloke? Why is he staring blankly like a fool?" I chuckled and said, "Heyhey, you got it right . He is a fool now!" Then I explained to him everything I had done .
I took out the cigarettes and gave Zheng Shuang one . After we both lit the cigarettes, I said, "This guy is the brains of the cult group in Wu Zhong County . He is very smart and cunning . You can tell from his criminal methods alone! Stealing a child in a way that would make the parents think their child was dead and wouldn't report it to the police . That was why it caused many troubles when we went to your uncle . What's more, he mastered Nanyang Arcana, cloaking, and disguising, which made it easy for him to deceive people . If you take him away in a normal way, I am afraid that he would escape before you arrive at the police station . That's why I arranged Chongxi to wait downstairs beforehand and let Lin Feng slap out his vigors . However, I only blocked his vigors out with a charm-paper . After he was induced to lead us to the child, I removed the charm-paper on purpose to play cat and mouse with him . Then Chongxi could break his ankle to pieces in a well-reasoned way when he tried to run away . "
Zheng Shuang finally understood what was going on, raised his thumb, and said, "Smart move!" I smiled and said, "However, there were still risks . Therefore I took one more move - after we broke his anklebone, I used the calabash gourd to absorb his vigors and turned him into a fool . Otherwise, with his magic arts, he could still harm the policemen who escort him . We are safe for now . But things are not over yet . We need to be cautious!" Zheng Shuang raised his head and said, "Oh? . . . "Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
