97: Chapter 97 Liuyuan No.1 Middle School 97: Chapter 97 Liuyuan No.1 Middle School “Big business?”
Chen Hai was startled, then imdiately felt a surge of excitent.
He had co to Liuyuan County to find his cousin, Sun Jinzhong; wasn’t this the very reason?
Initially, it had seed odd to him—why had his cousin co to such a teahouse to waste ti playing cards with these elders?
It turned out, he wasn’t here for the alcohol; his real purpose was to gather information while playing cards!
One must admit, his action made so sense.
The type of business Chen Hai was looking for wasn’t usually sothing the younger generation would know more about than these well-connected elders.
“How big a deal?” After processing this, Chen Hai asked casually.
Sun Jinzhong didn’t speak; he mysteriously held up two fingers and gestured.
“Two thousand?” Chen Hai’s eyes lit up.
But Sun Jinzhong shook his head, he chuckled and said, “Not two thousand, but twenty thousand!
How about that, cousin, big enough business for you?”
As he said this, he puffed out his chest and assud a very smug expression.
“Indeed, it’s big!” Chen Hai nodded and said, “If soone is willing to spend that much money, the issue they need resolved must not be simple.”
“First tell , what exactly is the situation?”
“I need to know the general details before I can decide whether I can take on this deal.”
Chen Hai was still relatively calm; he never believed that being sowhat accomplished in Tao Cultivation made him omnipotent!
If there were thorny issues he couldn’t resolve, no matter how much money people offered, he could only watch helplessly.
“Liuyuan No.1 Middle School, cousin, you know of it, right?”
“A prestigious school for over a hundred years, Liuyuan No.1 Middle School?
Brother Zhong, I just graduated from high school!”
With an exasperated roll of his eyes, Chen Hai added, “In our town, if soone gets admitted to No.1 High School, they celebrate with feasts and firecrackers.
Do you think I wouldn’t know about this school?”
“That twenty thousand yuan big deal, you’re not about to tell sothing’s up with Liuyuan County No.1 High School and that soone needs it solved?”
“Yes, the big deal I’m talking about is there!” Sun Jinzhong nodded affirmatively.
He then added, “The school’s main gate has an issue.”
“The main entrance of their school, whenever it is used normally, the students who co in and out of that gate are bound to have fatal accidents within the year.”
“In the past few years, No.1 High School’s main gate had been sealed, and all students ca and went through a newly opened side gate.”
“However, a few days ago, No.1 got a new principal who felt that keeping the main gate sealed indefinitely was no solution.”
“He wanted to reopen the main gate, and after so discussion with the school leaders, they ca up with twenty thousand yuan consultancy fees to hire an expert to resolve the issue with the main gate!”
…
Sun Jinzhong roughly recounted what he knew to Chen Hai.
Upon hearing this, Chen Hai understood.
In this era, in Liuyuan County, who would be willing to spend twenty thousand yuan to hire an expert for exorcism?
It made perfect sense if it was No.1 High School.
Of course, the money they offered was officially for consultancy, not for exorcism.
“How about it, cousin?
Are you interested in this deal?”
“If you are willing, I can go and ask around to find out exactly what’s going on with No.1 High School.”
Sun Jinzhong said with a smile.
One of his card-playing friends was a retired employee of Liuyuan No.1 Middle School.
Although he had heard about the situation from that friend, he was not yet fully acquainted with the details.
“Um!
It would be good for you to ask around first!”
“Later, I’ll go near the main gate of Liuyuan No.1 High School and see exactly what’s the situation there!”
Chen Hai nodded in agreent.
With only twenty to thirty yuan left in his pocket, he already felt a sense of urgency.
If the situation at Liuyuan No.1 High School was indeed true, then it was naturally better to resolve it sooner rather than later.
“Okay, cousin, then I’ll go ask around about this matter right now.”
“Give your pager number, and I’ll notify you as soon as I have any information!”
Having made quite an amount of money by assisting Chen Hai, he had already tasted the sweetness.
After Chen Hai nodded, Sun Jinzhong was full of enthusiasm.
He imdiately borrowed pen and paper from the teahouse owner.
After Chen Hai wrote down his pager number on the paper, Sun Jinzhong carefully kept the slip of paper and hurried outside.
The teahouse was located on East Street, which ran along the banks of the Yuan River, and going straight along this street would lead to the location of Liuyuan No.1 Middle School.
At this mont, it was around twelve noon, and the sun was at its most brutal.
After finding a small restaurant and spending six cents on a bowl of stir-fried noodles to barely fill his stomach, Chen Hai made his way to Liuyuan No.1 High School.
When he arrived at the main gate of Liuyuan No.1 High School, it was already past one in the afternoon.
The main gate of No.1 High School faced the Yuan River and was just across the street, continuing down to the riverbank.
Perhaps due to the new principal’s arrival, the school gate that had been sealed for several years was now half open.
Of course, since it was sumr vacation, the half-open gate, although accessible, rarely saw anyone using it.
Chen Hai lingered near this gate for a long while.
As a prestigious school of a hundred years, the main gate of No.1 High, built in the form of an arch, was indeed grand and majestic.
Such a gate, unable to be used due to so issues and forcing students to use the side door, indeed represented a huge waste.
No wonder the new principal, having just taken office, was eager to reopen the school gate.
After visually inspecting the place and finding no apparent problems, Chen Hai directly employed the Geomancy Inspection Skill.
The surrounding mountains were undulating, and the river across was surging; the main gate of No.1 High was precisely built on a node of vital energy.
Logically, this location should be considered a treasure of Feng Shui.
Chen Hai really couldn’t discern any peculiarities about this place!
Taking out a cigarette, he squatted by the roadside and lit it, then closed his eyes and pondered for a long while but still couldn’t figure it out.
“Could it be because the ti isn’t right?”
“The sun is fierce now, and the Yang energy is boiling; maybe so malevolent entities don’t dare to erge, which is why I can’t sense any anomalies?”
Looking up at the blazing sun hanging in the sky, Chen Hai lowered his head again and looked at the area around No.1 High School’s main gate, even the ground heated to scorching temperatures.
“Perhaps, I should co back here in the middle of the night and thoroughly investigate the area!”
With a frown, Chen Hai muttered to himself.
