On the outskirts of the imperial capital, in a simple and quiet courtyard.
Several servants in black robes were sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard with brooms.
It was obviously not autumn or winter at this time, but the flowers, plants and trees in the yard were all withered and lost their vitality.
Although these servants in black robes looked similar in stature to young people, their faces were all old and wrinkled, as if their longevity had been sucked away, which made them look particularly terrifying.
The most terrifying thing is that they are all mute, with dull expressions and empty eyes.
Like a puppet on a string, the boring work is repeated day after day.
The whole courtyard seemed eerie and silent.
In the room, a one-eyed old woman was meditating and practicing.
There is a strange formation next to her.
There is an oil lamp in the center of the formation, and its green flame flickers, flickering on and off, threatening to burn out at any time.
After the old woman finished practicing, the green flames became a little darker.
The old woman said to herself:
"I like you, you are your blessing, but you still want to find someone to reverse your luck? Don't even think about it!"
The old woman flicked her finger, and the green flame of the oil lamp grew stronger.
…
The next day.
Jiangcheng officials announced a tender for an underground shopping mall project.
Once the announcement was issued, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
You know, this underground mall is less than 300 meters away from Splendid Tiancheng and is on the newly planned light rail transportation hub.
Once the light rail line is opened, the flow of people in the underground mall will instantly explode. It is definitely a good project that will definitely make money!
When I thought of this, all the major forces in Jiangcheng were ready to take action, and they all wanted to win this project.
The underground mall is not only coveted by big forces, but also by small forces.
They began to rely on their friends for help, and tried to please the powerful forces.
If not for anything else, just so that after these big forces take over the underground mall, they can subcontract some small projects so that they can get a share of the pie.
Looking at the various introductions about underground shopping malls in the news, everyone in the He family felt very sorry.
"It's a pity that our He family doesn't have enough financial resources, otherwise it would be great if we could take over this underground mall."
"Come on, the threshold for participating in this bidding is four billion. Not to mention that we are not qualified, there are not many people in Jiangcheng who are qualified to participate."
"You can't say that. Although we can't win the underground mall, if the Wang family wins, we can contract the project."
He Lin's words immediately made everyone in the He family's eyes light up.
"Yes, as long as Mr. Wang can win the underground mall project, we will certainly not be short of meat!"
"Man Ting, please keep in touch with Mr. Wang more recently. Don't be indifferent to him all day long. I think Mr. Wang is quite good. Don't let down his love for you."
"Yes, if you can work harder and become the young mistress of the Wang family, then we won't have to work so hard. Aren't the Wang family's our He family's?"
Hearing what the He family said, He Manting frowned and did not manage their finances.
This group of relatives is the same at all times, always trying to use themselves to obtain the greatest benefits for them.
Seeing He Manting not speaking, Jia Xiulian was a little unhappy.
"Man Ting, I heard that Mr. Wang has already gone to participate in the bidding. Don't just sit here. Go and have a look. Fight for what you should fight for."
He Manting originally wanted to try her luck, so she took He Lin out.
…
On the wide road, a black car drove smoothly.
Qin Shiyun and Bai Qian sat in the car and rushed to the underground shopping mall bidding site.
"Mr. Qin, here are all the project materials for this bidding."
Qin Shiyun flipped through the documents in her hand page by page, frowning slightly.
The underground shopping mall project this time is indeed of high quality, but precisely because of its high quality, many people want to bid.
After looking at the companies participating in the bidding, Qin Shiyun felt that the pressure was a bit high.
Just when Qin Shiyun was about to ask Bai Qian to conduct an investment evaluation of the overall project, the driver shouted.
"Miss, be careful!"
Qin Shiyun looked up and found that a large truck had hit her head on!
Under the huge impact, the black car was slammed into the wall next to it and was squeezed out of shape on the spot!
Soon, rescue vehicles arrived at the scene.
Seeing the black car that had turned into a ball, the rescuers' hearts suddenly sank to the bottom.
In a situation like this, it's impossible for anyone to survive.
"Captain, what should we do now?"
"Destroy it first and see if there are any survivors."
"Yes, Captain."
The rescue team picked up tools and began to dismantle the vehicle.
Unexpectedly, they found that although the front and rear of the car had been damaged by the impact, there was almost no major damage to the inside of the seats!
Qin Shiyun, Bai Qian, and the driver were all too frightened, but their bodies were not harmed at all!
"Quick! Get people out!"
Rescuers rescued the three people immediately.
Not only were they conscious, but they didn’t even have a scratch!
Qin Shiyun pinched the half of the amulet left in her pocket and broke into a cold sweat.
If it hadn't been for the amulet given by Li Fan just now, they would still be here today.
She was secretly thankful in her heart that Li Fan saved her again.
"Let's go, business matters."
Qin Shiyun asked the driver to deal with the aftermath here, asked Bai Qian to take a taxi, and the two of them continued to rush to the bidding site.
…
At the bidding site, one luxury car after another was parked at the door, just like a luxury car exhibition.
All major forces gathered together, and regardless of whether they participated in the bidding or not, they all sent people over.
Wang Dafei and Wang Guanxi sat together, whispering, not knowing what to say.
Did they glance at the position reserved for the Qin Group with sinister eyes?
"Are you OK?"
Li Fan strode over and looked at Qin Shiyun worriedly. He was relieved when he found that there was nothing wrong.
The nervous look made Qin Shiyun feel warm in her heart.
He Manting, who was sitting not far away, had mixed emotions.
Qin Shiyun smiled and said: "Okay, don't be so nervous, I'm fine, thanks to your amulet."
Li Fan said seriously:
"No, your catastrophic changes are too abnormal. I have to touch your bones to see what's going on."
"Huh? Now?"
Qin Shiyun's pretty face turned red, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
But not allowing her to refuse, Li Fan had already grabbed her Rouyi and touched it carefully.
Although Qin Shiyun was shy about making such an intimate gesture in public, she did not refuse.
Li Fan's expression was serious, with no evil thoughts in his eyes.
However, this behavior is not the case in the eyes of others.
Everyone had strange expressions and whispered.
"Who is that man? How dare you attack Miss Qin directly?"
