After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen was thoughtful.
"Is it because the leader of the Yincao branch is too low-level to know what's going on behind the Gu family's back, or did I think too much before?"
"No, the system prompt has confirmed that the dead baby is really a demon, which shows that the Gu family did have a terrifying background."
"I don't know what happened to make a family of strange people end up like this..."
He thought for a while but came up with no results. He turned around and found that everyone in the Gu family still looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Mainly twice before, they thought the matter was resolved, but the results were reversed, so this time even though they saw the dead baby escaping, no one dared to relax.
"There won't be any danger for the time being." Jiang Chen waved his hand.
"Pack your things and go to Jiangbei City with me later. The relevant personnel will arrange it for you."
"Ms. Gu, thank you Master Jiang very much this time. You will be rewarded generously!" Gu Youmin stood up, cupped his hands and spoke.
Although he is over sixty, his waist is straight and he looks more energetic than some young people.
Even though he has just experienced such a terrifying thing, his eyes are still sharp and alert, and the aura he exudes naturally is intimidating. This is a sign of being at the top for a long time.
Jiang Chen looked at him calmly without saying a word.
Gradually, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Gu Youmin's forehead.
At a certain moment, he felt that he was facing a man-eating tiger. The bloody mouth seemed to be hanging above his head. He could swallow him by opening and closing it slightly.
"Boss Gu, is there anything else you want to tell me?" After a long time, Jiang Chen spoke.
"Master Jiang, please take a step to speak." Gu Youmin breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Chen remained silent, and the pressure he felt kept increasing, almost unbearable.
"Xiaochen, what are you..." Sister Hong asked.
Jiang Chen glanced at her and said nothing. Gu Youmin smiled bitterly: "I have something to say to Master Jiang."
The two walked into the largest villa and went to the living room on the second floor.
The rest of the people consciously either waited outside or went home to pack their things.
In the living room, Jiang Chen sat down swaggeringly, and Gu Youmin also sat aside, hesitating: "Master Jiang, it's not that I don't want to talk about this, but people who know it seem to be infected with a curse and it is difficult to escape."
Jiang Chen glanced at the Dark Alliance Blood Talisman on his arm, and then touched his pocket. The seventh ward's case sheet, which had become increasingly bright red and moist these days, seemed to confirm something, and then nodded.
"you say."
Curse, he had too many.
"...Xiaoya should have told you about her grandfather, but he didn't do anything wrong and was expelled from the family tree back then."
"He's crazy."
"At that time, my business had just started to pick up. Suddenly, one day my father said he wanted to go back to his hometown, but I didn't pay much attention. Who knew that the next day, news came that he wanted to bury himself alive in his ancestral grave!"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen's pupils dilated slightly.
It is indeed crazy for a living person to want to bury himself in a grave.
"No one can stop me. The night I went back, my father kept telling me that he was the most deserving person of this generation. For the sake of the Gu family, he asked me not to stop him."
"At that time, he had serious mental problems, and I sent him to a mental hospital the next day."
"But when I negotiated a contract and went to see him again, he disappeared. No one could be found. The hospital surveillance did not capture how he left."
"I suddenly thought of what he said that night, so I rushed back to the village overnight and found two old people to go to the ancestral grave together. Sure enough, a new grave was erected there. I dug it up and found my father lying inside. He was suffocated to death."
"No one knows how he got in there."
"This thing is so weird. After discussing it with two old people, I announced that my father had done something wrong and expelled our family from the family tree."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen was also a little surprised.
He never expected that what he heard before was actually Gu Youmin's deliberate arrangement. What was his purpose in doing this?
Noticing Jiang Chen's questioning look, Gu Youmin didn't dare to show off: "For Xiaoya."
"Because my father also said one thing that night, the next generation of people who should be robbed is Xiaoya."
"At first, I just thought he was an old fool, talking crazy, but as Xiaoya grew older, several things happened one after another. When he was ten years old, he broke his head on the ground for no reason. At the age of twelve, Sui ran out alone, fell into a well, and almost drowned. Fourteen years old..."
"She almost died several times."
"I looked it up with an expert, and he said that Xiaoya's life has violated the clan, and the only way to survive is to be kicked out of the family."
"So I found an old friend to act in a play. With her unyielding personality, it was ten years since she left. Fortunately, in these ten years, she really didn't get into trouble again."
Having said this, Gu Youmin sighed.
"I thought this matter would end here, but two months ago, the two old people in the village died. Before they died, they found me and said the same words as my father did back then. They said that when the time comes, if Xiaoya is not allowed to If you go back to your ancestral grave to answer the tribulation, something big will happen to the Gu family."
"I don't believe in this evil, so I brought a group of people to dig up the place on the pretext of moving my father's grave to see if there is any evil in it!"
"As a result, something strange happened on our way up the mountain. Someone yelled the word "Headless Woman" and jumped off the cliff like crazy."
"We just had to run down."
"Xiaoya should have told you about the next thing."
After hearing this, Jiang Chen looked very uneasy. No matter how strong his logic was, he would never have guessed that this matter turned out to be such a truth.
It was not the willfulness of the old man Gu Youmin that caused the disaster.
But a father is caught in a dilemma in order to protect his daughter.
On the one hand, there are unfounded strange things and curses.
On the one hand, he buried his daughter alive.
You can't blame Gu Youmin for being selfish. He ruined the lives of so many people in the Gu clan for his daughter. After all, no matter who it was, he probably wouldn't be able to make a choice.
Jiang Chen thought for a while and asked again: "Didn't your father tell you anything else?"
"No, he didn't seem to know anything. It was only when he was about to die that he suddenly understood something." Gu Youmin shook his head.
"But he left two things behind."
As he spoke, he ran to a side room, opened a safe, and took out a black bag.
He took out an ancient book that had two corners missing and looked very old. The paper was yellow and gave off a strong musty smell.
There is also a bone object, about the size of an adult man's forearm, about a foot long, square, with a lower tip and a wider top, a bit like an extra-large square nail.
It would be too weird to just use bones as nails.
Jiang Chen saw that this thing was also broken, with a terrible crack on it, as if it had suffered some heavy trauma.
"This thing..."
He reached out and took the two items and tried to chant silently.
"strengthen."
"Ding, do you want to consume 100 ghost energy to strengthen the "Secret Technique of Kui Dou Seven Stars" (damage)? Damaged items will be repaired during the strengthening process, but more ghost energy will be consumed."
"Ding, do you want to consume 30,000 ghost energy to strengthen the dry bone pile (damage)?"
