After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen was thoughtful.
"Is it because the leader of the Yincao Branch is too low-ranking to know what's going on behind the Gu family, or did I overthink it before?"
"No, the system prompt has confirmed that the dead baby is really a Ba, which means that the Gu family did have a terrifying background."
"I don't know what happened to make a strange family fall to this point..."
He thought about it, but didn't come up with any results. He turned his head and found that everyone in the Gu family was still as if they were facing a great enemy.
The main reason was that they thought the matter was resolved twice before, but the results were reversed. So even if they saw the dead baby escape this time, everyone still didn't dare to relax.
"There will be no 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 for you."
"The Gu family thanks Master Jiang for this time, and there will be a generous reward!" Gu Youmin stood up and bowed.
Although he was over 60 years old, his back was straight and he looked more energetic than some young people.
Even though he had just experienced such a horrible thing, his eyes were still sharp and full of spirit, and the aura he exuded naturally was intimidating. This was the performance of being in a high position 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, and the bloody mouth seemed to be hanging over his head, and it could swallow him with a slight opening and closing.
"Boss Gu, is there anything else you want to say to me?" Jiang Chen spoke after a long time.
"Master Jiang, can you talk to me for a moment?" Gu Youmin breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Chen had been silent all the time, and the pressure he felt had been increasing, and he was almost unable to bear it.
"Xiaochen, what are you doing..." Sister Hong asked.
Jiang Chen looked 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 up to the second-floor living room.
The rest of the people consciously either waited outside or went home to pack up.
In the reception room, Jiang Chen sat down swaggeringly, and Gu Youmin also sat beside him, hesitating a little: "Master Jiang, it's not that I don't want to talk about this, but those who know it are like being infected with a curse and can't escape."
Jiang Chen glanced at the dark alliance blood symbol on his arm, and touched his pocket again. The medical records of the seventh ward, which had become more and more red and moist in recent days, seemed to confirm something, and then nodded.
"You say."
Curses, he has too many.
"... Xiaoya should have told you about her grandfather, but he didn't do anything wrong to be expelled from the family tree."
"He's crazy."
"At that time, my business had just started to pick up a little. Suddenly one day my father said he wanted to go back to his hometown, and I didn't care much. Who knew that the next day I heard that he wanted to bury himself alive in the ancestral tomb!"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen's pupils dilated slightly.
It's really crazy for a living person to want to bury himself in a grave.
"No one could persuade him. The night I went back, my father told me in a mysterious way that he was the one who was destined to be robbed in this generation. For the sake of the Gu family, he asked me not to stop him."
"At that time, he had already had serious mental problems. I sent him to a mental hospital the next day."
"But when I negotiated a contract and went to see him again, he was missing. I couldn't find him no matter how I went. The hospital surveillance didn't capture how he left."
"I suddenly remembered what he said that night, and rushed back to the village overnight. I found two old people to go to the ancestral tomb together. There was indeed a new tomb there. When it was dug up, my father was lying inside. He was suffocated to death."
"No one knows how he got there."
"This matter is too weird. After discussing with the two old people, I announced to the public that my father had done something wrong and expelled our branch from the family tree."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen was also a little surprised.
I never expected that the things he had heard before were all deliberately arranged by Gu Youmin. What was his purpose in doing this?
Noticing Jiang Chen's inquiring eyes, Gu Youmin didn't dare to keep it a secret: "For Xiaoya."
"Because my father said something that night, the next generation of people who will be afflicted is Xiaoya."
"At first I thought he was old and confused, talking nonsense, but as Xiaoya grew up, several things happened one after another. When she was ten years old, she broke her head for no reason on flat ground. When she was twelve years old, she ran out alone and fell into a well, almost drowning. When she was fourteen years old..."
"Several times, she almost died."
"I consulted an expert, and the expert said that Xiaoya was destined to be a relative of the clan, and the only way to survive was to be expelled from the family."
"So I found an old friend to act out a play. With her unyielding personality, she really left for ten years. Fortunately,In the past ten years, she really hasn't had any more trouble."
At this point, 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 thing as my father did that year, saying that the day had come, and if Xiaoya was not allowed to return to the ancestral tomb to face the disaster, something bad would happen to the Gu family."
"I didn't believe it, so I brought a group of people and wanted to dig up the place under the pretext of moving my father's tomb to see what was so weird about it!"
"As a result, a strange thing happened on our way up the mountain. Someone shouted a few words of headless woman and jumped off the cliff like crazy."
"We had no choice but to run down."
"Xiaoya should have told you about what happened next. "
After listening to this, Jiang Chen's expression was also very uneasy. Even if he had a strong logical ability, he could not have guessed that this was the truth before.
It was not the willfulness of the old man Gu Youmin that led to a disaster.
It was a father who was caught in a dilemma in order to protect his daughter.
On the one hand, there were unfounded strange things and curses.
On the other hand, he buried his daughter alive.
Gu Youmin can't be blamed for being selfish. For the sake of his daughter, he killed so many Gu clan members. After all, no matter who it was, I'm afraid they couldn't make a choice.
Jiang Chen thought about it and asked again: "Did 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. "
As he said that, he ran to the side room, opened a safe, and took out a black bag.
He took out an old book with two corners missing, which looked very old. The paper was yellow and exuded a strong musty smell.
There was also a bone object, as big as an adult man's forearm, about one foot long, square, pointed at the bottom and wide at the top, a bit like an oversized square nail.
It was too weird to 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 damage.
"This thing..."
He reached out to take the two items and tried to recite silently.
"Strengthen."
"Ding, do you want to consume 100 ghost energy to strengthen the "Kuidou Seven Stars Secret Art" (damage), the 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)"
