"Impossible. It's just a game. Surely it can't really siphon away my wealth, can it? There's no such thing in this world! Besides, she's just a little girl. I've already given her so much money, what more could she want? Even if I gave her all my assets, she couldn't handle it." Although Baldy felt something was amiss, he was still reluctant to accept it.

I didn't argue with him, but calmly asked, "Does that innocent-looking female celebrity light four incense sticks each time?"

"Yes, so what?"

"So what? Don't you know what four incense sticks are for? You're already in your forties or fifties, surely you know the basic custom of 'three for gods, four for ghosts'?"

"Well, of course I know four incense sticks are for ghosts, but Tian Tian said this game came from abroad. They don't have so many rules. That's just how the incense is lit, or it's no fun. It's just lighting four incense sticks. Can that really summon a ghost? Summoning ghosts would be too easy."

I snorted and said, "If it's just lighting four incense sticks, it certainly won't directly summon a wealth-stealing ghost. But lighting special incense in a special location is a different matter entirely. Where do you and that female celebrity do your business? A fixed location, or a different place each time?"

"I'm not one of those guys who goes to a cheap hotel and leaves after one shot. How could it be a different place each time? Tian Tian has always lived in my villa. As long as she's not filming, she waits for me there." Baldy looked proud, still showing off his kept woman even at this point.

I could only sigh, "If you went to a different place each time, your money wouldn't be flowing out so fast. Because you have a fixed location, the wealth-transporting ghosts know their way around. They're used to transporting wealth from there, so they're hauling it out by the truckload!"

Seeing that Baldy still didn't believe me, I asked him about the orientation of his villa, then directly drew the Five Ghosts Position (wu gui wei) and asked him if Tian Tian lit the incense in that spot, and if the scent of the incense was different from any he'd smelled before, and if he sometimes saw carriages pulling gold and silver treasures running through the air after the incense was lit.

"Holy crap, it's actually true! Could my wealth really have been taken away by those carriages?"

"Congratulations, you're right. That woman might have told you that those carriages pulling gold and silver could bring you good luck and wealth, or that only people with a wealthy destiny could see such carriages, but in reality, those carriages are exactly what's stealing your wealth."

"It's actually a very simple trick, just a repackaged version of the Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth (wu gui yun cai). There are many versions of Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth, some good and some bad, some used by upright people and some used by heretical cultivators. The one that woman used to steal your wealth is naturally not the upright Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth, but simply recruiting five ghosts to help her steal things.

"But everyone's wealth has its own fortune guardian. If the owner doesn't agree, low-level ghosts can't directly transport the wealth away. Tian Tian probably isn't a very powerful cultivator and can't recruit powerful Five Ghosts, so she plays dice with you and makes you say you're giving her the money. That way, the Five Ghosts can confidently haul the money to her house."

"That's outrageous! I treated her so well, and that insatiable bitch actually schemed to take all of my assets! If I don't chop her up and feed her to the turtles, I'm not a man!"

Baldy was furious and immediately wanted to call his underlings, but when he took out his phone to dial, he hesitated, felt awkward for a moment, and then put the phone back in his pocket.

"Master, since you can figure out that it was that bitch who stole my money, you should also be able to make her return it to me, right? I've already come to you, so please handle this matter for me completely. I won't go looking for my brothers in the underworld. It's just dealing with a woman, no need to use knives and weapons. Master, name your price, I won't haggle."

I thought to myself, "It's not that you don't want to bother your brothers in the underworld, it's that you can't afford to bother them anymore. Did you think chopping people is free? You have no money, who do they think you are? When you were rich, you were the boss, but now you're just a dog. Don't even mention asking them to help you chop someone up, they might not even answer your phone."

It's more convenient here with me. It's just an empty-handed trick. If I get the money back, he'll pay me a reward. If I don't get the money back, then it's like he never came here.

However, I didn't expose Baldy. Since he came to me, it means we have a karmic connection. Besides, it's really not right for that female celebrity named Tian Tian to use this evil technique to steal other people's wealth. This matter can be handled.

The evil spirits in the shop can only take one business at a time. Before the business is finished, the other idle evil spirits can't take jobs. That's the rule. Now that the Rabbits haven't completely healed Ding Kan, the other evil spirits naturally can't take Baldy's job, so I, the shopkeeper, have to take it myself.

I don't need to use an abacus to calculate when I take a job. I just look at the situation and decide. Thinking that Tian Tian still uses incense to steal wealth, she shouldn't be a particularly powerful character, so I only asked for 100,000.

Baldy immediately agreed readily, saying that as long as I got his assets back, he wouldn't pay a penny less than 100,000, plus a banner.

I quickly waved my hand, "Just give me the money, I really don't need the banner. This is a funeral shop, I have no place to hang it even if you give it to me."

Then, I called Ding Kan down and told him that I had something to go out and do, and that he should stay in the shop and heal his injuries. Before his physical condition and the profound energy (xuan gong) in his body were completely restored, he must not leave the shop. No matter what happened, he couldn't leave. He must abide by the requirements calculated by the abacus, otherwise even if he defaulted on the debt, I would definitely cause him trouble.

I babbled on and on, directly annoying Ding Kan. He pushed me out, told me to do whatever I needed to do, and not to worry about the shop. He would help me take care of the shop and the evil spirits in the shop, and even Jasmine would help him take care of me. It didn't matter if I didn't come back for ten days or half a month.

"No need, just take care of yourself. I know my shop's evil spirits. Although they're naughty, they wouldn't mess around on important matters. As long as you don't provoke them, they will definitely not cause trouble. The one I'm most worried about is you. When I'm not in the shop, you'd better have less contact with my evil spirits, stay put, get treated, rest, and exercise..."

"Okay, okay, I got it. Eat when it's time to eat, sleep when it's time to sleep, right? Stop nagging, go quickly!"

As he spoke, Ding Kan had already pushed me out of the shop and even closed the door directly. Even Baldy was dumbfounded and asked me in confusion,

"Um, who exactly is the boss here? Did I come to the wrong person?"
