Stepmother: I Am Asked To Give A Kidney To My Half-Brother

Chapter 48: Plan

“Boss, do you really think I’m omnipotent?”

Zhou Feng widened his eyes and asked.

Lu Ming propped his chin and said, “Didn’t you say that you know everything? Is there anything in this world that you don’t know?”

He felt that Zhou Feng was a good person. There was nothing wrong with his work ability and personality. Therefore, the first person he thought of was Zhou Feng. In addition, they had worked together before, so they knew each other well.

Moreover, he would not be able to find anyone else for the time being.

So he tried to goad Zhou Feng into action. Zhou Feng said, “There’s really nothing in this world that can stump me. I know Feng Shui and fortune-telling. It’s not a problem to bluff people.”

Lu Ming nodded slightly. “That’s enough.”

Lu Yaohua did not know anything about these things anyway. Zhou Feng should be able to make him bite the bait just by talking.

Zhou Feng said in surprise, “Don’t tell me you want me to bluff someone?”

“Of course, you just have to say the wrong things. Get him to quickly sell the land he has. Then tell him that you have a rich second-generation heir friend who wants to buy a piece of land for business. As for the target… Lu Yaohua!”

Lu Ming summarized the mission.

He paused for a moment before continuing, “If you do a good job, I’ll give you 500 thousand yuan this time. My secretary has already transferred 50 thousand yuan to you. Have you received it?”

Zhou Feng took out his phone and waved it. “Got it. I thought that some kind-hearted person had transferred the money wrongly at first! When I looked at the account, it was you. Speaking of which, do you think Lu Yaohua would believe me if I went in this outfit?”

“I don’t think he would.”

Lu Ming said calmly. Judging from his appearance, Zhou Feng looked like a sunny university student who had just entered society.

Zhou Feng smiled and said, “Looks like I’ll have to apply my acting skills this time. Help me borrow some cosmetics. I guarantee that I’ll complete your mission perfectly! This time, I’ll pretend to be a Feng Shui master from Hong Kong!”

With this, Lu Ming was relieved. He called his secretary. Then he suddenly asked, “What do you think of my physiognomy?”

Zhou Feng turned around and said, “You have a full forehead—it means that your brain works very quickly. And your hairline is intertwined—it means that you have the help of a benefactor, and everything will go smoothly.”

Lu Ming raised his eyebrows and said, “Thank you for your kind words.”

…

Meanwhile, Lu Yaohua had been borrowing money from all over, but he met with rejections repeatedly.

He was so angry that he stomped his feet at home. If not for the fact that he did not have money now, he would have thrown the things on the table to the floor again!

“This bunch of snobbish people! When I become rich in the future, I definitely won’t associate with these people!”

Tang Wenyi sat on the sofa. “You’re so unlucky, aren’t you? Did someone stab you in the back?”

The old master believed in things like gods and Buddhas, so she instinctively thought of this.

Lu Yaohua said doubtfully, “Does putting a curse on villains work?”

“I don’t know either.”

Tang Wenyi shrugged. She thought of something and beckoned to him. He walked over to her.

Her voice became much softer. “Previously, someone put a curse on Grandpa. During that time, he was very distracted. He could not eat or sleep. No matter what he invested in, there would be problems. We found it strange.”

“One day, a traveling Daoist priest took the initiative to approach him. He said that the old master was envied by others, which was why he became like this. So he gave the old master an amulet and asked him to keep it close to him. From then on, those abnormalities did not happen to the old master.

Initially we thought that this traveling Daoist priest was a swindler. But then he would say many things that only our family knew. At that time, he even said that I would marry a man who was married before.

Now he was right.”

At that time, she had asked the traveling Daoist priest in private, so only she knew about this matter.

Years ago, she was arrogant and did not believe this at all. In the end, it turned out to be true.

“I heard that putting a curse involves daily bloodletting, repeated over time. If it’s really that little bastard putting a curse on us, he has to pay a considerable price for us to suffer.”

However, Lu Ming was so busy every day. How could he have put a curse on someone?

But Lu Yaohua clearly believed her. He slammed the table and said angrily, “So it was that kid who did this. I’ll go settle scores with him now!”

Tang Wenyi quickly tugged at his sleeve and said, “Even if you go, what if that little bastard doesn’t acknowledge you? I think you should go to the big temple to find the abbot or something like that.”

Lu Yaohua pondered for a moment and said, “That makes sense. I’ll go find the abbot of Wuding Temple now.”

“Help your son ask for an amulet too.”

Tang Wenyi reminded him.

“Alright!”

Wuding Temple was the most popular temple in Shanghai. Even on working days, many people came to visit. There was an endless stream of devotees, and there were many fortune-telling stalls at its entrance.

Because of Lu Yaohua’s connections, he met the abbot directly at the temple.

“Hello, Master Blue Lotus.”

He pressed his palms together and bowed to Master Blue Lotus.

An old man in a kasaya pressed his palms together and said, “Amitabha. May I know why Mr. Lu is looking for me?”

Although the temple’s rules were very strict, he watched television, so he naturally knew about Lu Yaohua.

“Master Blue Lotus, I think I’ve been stabbed in the back. Can you give me a few amulets for self-defense?”

But Master Blue Lotus said, “Even if you have amulets, it is useless if your heart is not sincere.”

Lu Yaohua understood ‘sincerity’ only superficially. He quickly said, “Amitabha, I’m sincere.”

Unfortunately, what Master Green Lotus meant was being true to Buddha, to oneself, and to one’s family. However, judging from Lu Yaohua’s demeanor, he was probably only sincere to himself.

He said compassionately, “Mr. Lu is insincere.”

Lu Yaohua was dumbfounded. “What sincerity?” he wondered.

“I think I need an amulet to fend off disaster. I’ve been badly hurt. I only hope that Master Blue Lotus can help me!”

All he wanted was the amulet. He attempted to play the victim card to get what he wanted.

Master Blue Lotus slowly said, “Calamity is predestined, but there are other calamities caused by man.”

Lu Yaohua was dumbfounded.

Seeing his confusion, Master Blue Lotus sighed. “How could this person not understand?” he thought.

“However, if he understands, he would not have come here to ask for amulets.”

Lu Yaohua was about to cry. “Why is it so difficult for me to get an amulet?” he wondered.

“Isn’t the abbot here known to be very easy to talk to? Why does he ramble on and on when he sees me?”
