Chapter 114: Chapter 114: The Purpose is Not Simple Chapter 114: Chapter 114: The Purpose is Not Simple The Witch tapped her fingers incessantly on the table beside her.
Then, she said with deep aning, “This matter is definitely the handiwork of that mother and son from the Liu Family. Other Magic Masters must have been involved. Their purpose is to kill Xiang Jun.”
Old Mrs. Xiang said with a face full of anger, “That despicable mother and son are truly malicious.”
At that mont, she completely forgot that they had been the ones to harm others first.
In her eyes, Liu Hongxue was an outsider, and since Xiang Bin had been closer to the Liu Family from a young age, she and the old man couldn’t bring themselves to like him.
Especially since the company clearly belonged to her son too, yet Liu Hongxue only gave their family a re one to two hundred million a year in subsidies. This was unacceptable.
Now, half of the Liu Family’s wealth belonged to her son. And with her son’s death, it was as good as theirs, yet it was being monopolized by that woman Liu Hongxue.
Of course, they had to take back what belonged to them, and dealing with the unlikable grandson, Xiang Bin, she felt no guilt at all.
She even more deliberately ignored the fact that Liu Pharmaceutical was originally passed down from the Liu Family.
At this mont, Xiang Jun also couldn’t care about exposing and offending Liu Hongxue and her son.
He looked at Old Mrs. Xiang and said, “Grandma, they are trying to kill . You must help !”
Now, the priority was to rely on the old lady and the old master for help.
Old Mrs. Xiang patted his hand, “Don’t worry, Grandma will never let them harm you.”
With Old Mrs. Xiang’s promise, Xiang Jun looked at the Witch again.
“Master, if the person that the Liu Family hired could switch the marital arrangents, then we might not be able to handle them once we find them. What do you think?”
The Witch glanced at him indifferently.
“She surely gave Xiang Bin sothing, perhaps a talisman. Find it and bring it to ; I will deal with that person.”
She stood up and took out several bright red stones the size of fingernails from a cabinet and handed them to Xiang Jun.
Then she said aningfully, “Find an opportunity to place these in the Liu Family’s place, preferably in the rooms of Liu Hongxue and Xiang Bin. This way, even if the marital arrangent is destroyed, they won’t live long.”
Xiang Jun always felt that there was more to the Witch helping them than simply the money, and that her motives were complex. She seed to hold a strong hostility towards the Liu Family.
However, he dared not voice his suspicions and was secretly pleased to see such events unfold.
He accepted the stones and nodded, “No problem.”
The Witch waved her hand, “All right, off you go, and don’t be foolish again this ti.”
“Yes, yes!” Old Mrs. Xiang and Xiang Jun replied respectfully and then left.
On the way back to the Xiang Family, the family began to discuss how to approach the Liu Family so they could settle the matter.
According to Old Mrs. Xiang, they should go directly to make a scene, and she wanted to slap Liu Hongxue then and there.
But Xiang Jun, being one of the lead males, naturally wouldn’t be so rash.
Now that he had cald down, he realized that in comparison to the Liu Family, the Xiang Family was a minor household. A head-on conflict would definitely result in a loss and could alarm the enemy.
So he cald Old Mrs. Xiang down and ca up with a new plan, which everyone readily agreed to.
At the mont, everyone in the Xiang Family basically followed Xiang Jun’s lead, even his stepmother was no exception.
After all, he was the smartest and most capable. If they wanted to share the spoils of the Liu Family, they had to follow him.
anwhile, Luo Ning, after finishing the afternoon rehearsal, received a call from Han Chi.
Han Chi and Fu Yunbing had co especially from another city to have dinner with her.
Luo Ning naturally wouldn’t refuse and drove to the agreed spot to et up.
This was a restaurant with a high degree of privacy, and Luo Ning headed to the reserved private room.
When the waitress led her into the private room, three people were already seated inside.
Besides Han Chi and Fu Yunbing, there was also a handso young man wearing gold-rimd glasses, exuding a scholarly aura.
Luo Ning’s perception was very keen. She noticed that although the young man seed harmless, he concealed a Virtuous Energy and had strong vital energy, indicating he wasn’t an ordinary figure.
She guessed his identity.
Han Chi and Fu Yunbing saw Luo Ning coming in and both stood up to greet her.
“Luo Ning, you’re here, please sit down!”
“This is my cousin Han Lie, the one I ntioned before who works in the special departnt.”
Han Chi introduced the elegantly standing young man with a smile.
Then, he said to Han Lie, “This is Luo Ning.”
Han Lie took the initiative to extend his hand with a smile, “Miss Luo, a pleasure to et you!”
Luo Ning shook his hand politely, “Nice to et you, Mr. Han!”
Han Chi rolled her eyes, “You don’t have to be so formal with ‘Miss’ and ‘Mr.’, it sounds so awkward. Just call each other by nas.”
Han Lie chuckled and asked Luo Ning after sitting down, “Can we address each other directly?”
“My cousin can be quite blunt, but he does have a point. There’s no need for formalities between us.”
Luo Ning agreed readily, giving a nod, “Sure.”
Having decided to join the special departnt, and since she would soon beco colleagues with Han Lie, there indeed was no need for formalities.
Han Chi poured a cup of tea for Luo Ning with a he-he laugh, “Little Ningning is indeed forthright.”
“Cousin, tell Little Ningning about the special departnt.”
After he spoke, he gave Han Lie a look.
Han Lie imdiately took up the conversation, “I heard from my cousin that you’re very skilled in Feng Shui Xuan Shu, and our special departnt really needs talents like you, which is why I’m inviting you to join.”
“If you value your ti and personal freedom, you can be a non-staff mber, but you will still enjoy so of the benefits of the special departnt.”
“Our departnt does not interfere with the outside work of our staff. You can also continue to stay in the entertainnt circle, which is more convenient for tasks.”
“Our tasks are based on a points system—the more you do, the more rewards you receive.”
“As a result, aside from a fixed salary, earning bonuses and rits in our departnt entirely depends on one’s efforts. The benefits are quite good.”
Actually, it was a system of more work, more gain. To earn rits, apart from completing assigned tasks, you had to take on more optional tasks.
His position as a team leader was achieved through accumulating rits.
The key point was that if you chose to leave the special departnt in the future, you could rely on the accumulated rits to switch to other departnts in the Military Departnt, without starting from the lower ranks.
Therefore, entrance to the special departnt was not easy—they had been through many assessnts to join.
Luo Ning was approved because of her special abilities.
“Of course, the special departnt deals with abnormal events, which also ans there are dangers involved.”
“So while I invite you earnestly, I still need to make this clear to you.”
Han Lie’s attitude was quite sincere.
After Han Chi’s introduction of Luo Ning, he went to check her files and watched key replays of her live broadcast.
He discovered that Luo Ning’s father was a very skilled Feng Shui Master before his disappearance, and Luo Ning had indeed demonstrated a good level of Feng Shui Xuan Shu during her live broadcast.
They were currently in need of such expertise.
Once he confird there were no issues with Luo Ning’s background and the person herself, coinciding with his task in the Imperial Capital, he ca with Han Chi to et with Luo Ning.
