Chapter 863 A Double Gain
"Are you Master Lai Er?"
It was then that Li Jiacheng recognized that this feng shui master was the notorious Master Lai Er.
He was famous, but mostly for his malevolent reputation. As long as there was money, he never followed any rules.
Yet now, in front of Chen Xuan, he was like a little lamb.
Li Jiaming, witnessing this scene, almost dropped his jaw. He never expected such a situation!
"Li Jiaming, how was what I said?"
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes and glanced at Li Jiaming.
Li Jiaming was already scared out of his wits, nodding blankly, his eyes filled with despair and unwillingness.
"Confess honestly, what exactly happened?"
Chen Xuan looked down at Master Lai Er.
Master Lai Er remained silent.
"Master Lai Er, you should consider carefully. Not long ago, you almost harmed someone I hold most dear. If you don't tell the truth, hehe..."
Chen Xuan's tone was filled with threats.
Master Lai Er recalled Chen Xuan's terrifying methods and trembled all over. This guy was even more ruthless than him.
People fear those who are more brutal than themselves, and Master Lai Er was no exception.
Master Lai Er had no choice but to confess everything.
It turned out that Li Jiaming had given Master Lai Er a large sum of money to seize a wisp of Xu Wei's soul, causing Xu Wei to miscarry the child in her womb, thus leaving Li Jiacheng without an heir. However, it had been delayed, and Li Jiaming discovered that his elder brother, Li Jiacheng, loved Xu Wei very much, so he came up with this scheme.
He would only let Master Lai Er spare Xu Wei if Li Jiacheng ceded the opportunity to inherit the family head position to him. Of course, at most, it would only save her life.
Chen Xuan glanced at Li Jiaming. This guy was truly insidious and wicked!
"Li Jiaming, for the sake of inheritance, you would commit such a heinous act! She is your sister-in-law!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jiacheng was enraged. He cast a cold gaze at Li Jiaming.
"Brother, this must be a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. He's talking nonsense!"
Li Jiaming quickly denied it.
"Even now, you don't have the courage to admit it. You've disappointed me too much! Take him down!" Li Jiacheng immediately declared.
As soon as the words fell, a group of security personnel rushed in from outside, surrounding Li Jiaming and the others.
"You can't touch me, I am the second son of the Li family of Hong Kong!" Li Jiaming shouted angrily.
But no one paid him any attention. They were Li Jiacheng's security personnel, and they ate the food provided by Li Jiacheng.
Li Jiacheng waved his hand.
A group of people immediately surged forward, taking Li Jiaming away.
"Mr. Chen, thank you for your great kindness!"
Li Jiacheng knelt before Chen Xuan with a thud, speaking from the bottom of his heart.
"Get up quickly. The matter is not over yet. I haven't saved your wife. You can thank me after I save her," Chen Xuan said calmly.
Li Jiacheng realized this was true and quickly got up from the ground.
Chen Xuan glanced at Master Lai Er and said nonchalantly, "Lai Er, if I'm not mistaken, the soul within Grandpa Zheng's body was precisely taken from Xu Wei, wasn't it?"
Master Lai Er looked at Chen Xuan in surprise, not expecting Chen Xuan to figure this out.
"Yes..."
He said softly.
Chen Xuan looked at Master Lai Er's eyes. Seeing that Master Lai Er was not lying, he took out a prepared talisman from his懷. This yellow talisman contained Xu Wei's sealed soul.
Once this wisp of soul was placed back into Xu Wei's body, Xu Wei would recover. As for Grandpa Zheng, he would also recover. It could be said to be a double gain!
"Li Jiacheng, have someone untie your wife," Chen Xuan said calmly.
"But..."
"It's fine!"
Li Jiacheng quickly ordered Xu Wei to be untied. As soon as she was untied, Xu Wei immediately went into a frenzy, raising her arms to strike her abdomen.
"No!" Li Jiacheng shouted.
At the critical moment, Chen Xuan raised his hand and pressed points on Xu Wei's body, stopping her movements abruptly.
Li Jiacheng looked at the motionless Xu Wei and breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Xuan did not delay. He immediately clasped his hands together, and a trace of profound blue energy surged from his palms into the yellow talisman!
A moment later, the yellow talisman began to self-immolate!
wisps of ethereal blue smoke rose up. The smoke did not dissipate aimlessly into the sky but drifted towards Xu Wei, coiling around her body circle after circle, looking very magical.
In the end, it slowly entered Xu Wei's forehead.
As the blue smoke entered, the ferocious expression on Xu Wei's face gradually disappeared, replaced by gentleness!
Clearly, Xu Wei had returned to normal, though she had not yet woken up, appearing to be in a deep sleep.
A moment later, Chen Xuan withdrew his hands and exhaled a breath of turbid air. Dense sweat appeared on his forehead, and he spoke with some effort, "Done."
Clearly, this move had also consumed a considerable amount of Chen Xuan's energy.
Seeing this, Li Jiacheng walked over and, seeing that Xu Wei had not yet woken up, asked, "Mr. Chen, why hasn't my wife woken up yet?"
Chen Xuan replied, "Your wife's soul has just been restored to its place. Her soul is in a weak state and needs a period of recuperation to return to normal. As for when she will wake up, it will be today or tomorrow."
"I see. Thank you, Mr. Chen." Li Jiacheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"I will now write you a prescription to nourish the soul."
Chen Xuan finished speaking, asked someone to fetch paper and pen, and immediately wrote a soul-nourishing prescription for Li Jiacheng: "Three doses a day for seven days, and I guarantee your wife will recover completely."
"My wife is also pregnant. Will taking medicine be alright?"
"Don't worry," Chen Xuan waved his hand.
Li Jiacheng quickly accepted the prescription and ordered someone to immediately purchase the medicinal ingredients.
"Mr. Chen, what about him?" Li Jiacheng looked angrily at Master Lai Er, "Or perhaps..."
As he spoke, Li Jiacheng made a throat-slitting gesture.
This guy dared to harm his wife, and he now wished he could cut this fellow into a thousand pieces.
Master Lai Er saw Li Jiacheng's gaze and trembled all over. Was Li Jiacheng going to kill him?
Chen Xuan hesitated for a moment, a slight smile appearing on his lips as he looked at Master Lai Er and said, "Li Jiacheng, I think you should hand this fellow over to me!"
Master Lai Er trembled even more. To be honest, although Chen Xuan always had a smiling demeanor, he deeply knew that Chen Xuan was far more terrifying than Li Jiacheng, at least a hundred times more so.
He would rather follow Li Jiacheng than Chen Xuan.
"Mr. Chen... but..."
Li Jiacheng was unwilling, but since Chen Xuan had spoken, he had no choice but to agree: "Alright! I'll leave it to Mr. Chen's disposal!"
Upon hearing this, Master Lai Er wailed inwardly.
It's over!
"Then thank you."
Chen Xuan looked at Master Lai Er, who was so scared he was about to wet his pants, and smiled slightly.
If Zheng Tianpeng were to see Master Lai Er, what expression would he have?
Just thinking about it made him feel quite amused.
Heh heh...
Afterward, Chen Xuan made some arrangements, and under Li Jiacheng's warm hospitality, he sat down on the sofa. Li Jiacheng personally brewed tea for Chen Xuan.
"Mr. Chen, you mentioned you had something to discuss with me?" Li Jiacheng said with a smile.
