Lu Manyun wore a disapproving expression.
"What's wrong with making money? You're my daughter, and you're still in school. Be obedient; you and An Mu Xiaoxun both have pocket money."
She then took out her phone and transferred three million to each of Ruan Fuxi's companions.
The three looked at the newly arrived three million, exchanged glances, and smiled broadly. "Thank you, Mom."
Ruan Jili watched the warm scene before him, a smile spreading across his face. "What a wonderful life this is."
Ruan Huai's eyes also sparkled with joy.
After the family enjoyed a harmonious breakfast together, Ruan Huai went to work, Ruan Anmu headed to the hospital, and Ruan Xun went to meet his agent, leaving only Ruan Fuxi at home.
As soon as she entered her room, she received a call from Su Shi.
"Fuxi, the case at Caishikou has been completely resolved. I sent the deceased back to their hometown for burial yesterday. As for the contractor who used living people for foundation work, he has also been arrested. After interrogation, it turns out this isn't his first time using living people; there are likely more victims."
Su Shi paused for a moment before continuing.
Ruan Fuxi replied, "Just say what you need to."
Hearing this, Su Shi asked, "Fuxi, I want to know if there will be similar situations arising from victims under this contractor like what happened at Caishikou."
After pondering for a moment, Ruan Fuxi responded, "It's hard to say. The large number of casualties at Caishikou was due to the collision of grievances from the execution ground and the malevolent energy of the wronged spirits, compounded by this person's deep resentment. First, investigate who else has been involved in foundation work; then check if there have been any unusual occurrences in the area. If anything comes up, just contact me."
Su Shi expressed his gratitude upon hearing Ruan Fuxi's words. "Fuxi, thank you so much. I'll have people expedite the investigation."
He then added with some guilt, "The situation at Caishikou was largely thanks to you. I'm already compiling relevant materials and will report everything truthfully. I’ll make sure you receive the corresponding rewards; I just don’t know how much that will be."
He understood that with Fuxi's current capabilities, handling any metaphysical incident would yield significant income. However, he was uncertain about what kind of outcome would be given by those above them.
Su Shi worried it might not be much because they adhered strictly to regulations and procedures. Since Fuxi was not an internal member of the Supernatural Research Institute but rather an external consultant they hired, he feared it might affect her compensation.
The second reason is that various departments have tightened their grip on the economy, making it difficult to approve any funds. When Ruan Fuxi heard this, she realized it was due to this matter.
"It's nothing; I'm not helping you just for a little money," she reassured him. Moreover, she had already received what she wanted from De.
Su Shi expressed his gratitude and praise once again, and only after purchasing twenty talismans from her did he hang up the phone. He owed Lin Chu and the others some talismans, and it was time to pay them back. Otherwise, that kid Lin Chu would surely pester him.
At that moment, Huang Jian had already taken out the talisman Yu Qi had given him. After a moment's hesitation, he lit it with a lighter. Just then, Yu Qi pushed the door open and walked in.
Seeing the talisman burning down to just a small edge of paper, her eyes widened in shock as she exclaimed, "What are you doing?!"
Huang Jian was taken aback and felt guilty, but he quickly replied, "Qi Qi, I felt uncomfortable looking at this talisman, so I burned it."
Yu Qi gritted her teeth in disgust. Considering Huang Jian's family background, she lowered her voice and feigned sadness, saying, "I specifically asked for this good luck talisman for you from the Daoist temple; it was my heartfelt intention. How could you just burn it like that?"
After the talisman was burned, Huang Jian felt a sense of clarity within himself. He no longer felt the same unwavering attachment to Yu Qi as before. Moreover, recalling Ruan Fuxi's words—that this talisman was meant to absorb his good fortune—he decided to investigate further without alarming anyone. He coaxed her gently, "I know you meant well, Qi Qi. But perhaps you were deceived; from what I know, this talisman isn't exactly a good thing."
