Daomu Biji: A Thousand Faces

Chapter 44

Xie Yuchen stood in front of his villa.

This house was technically only collateral, so although he felt that there was only a slight chance that his client could take it back, he had no right to do anything with it. 

Handling risks had always been his strength, but he was even more capable when it came to taking risks and making aggressive interventions. The latter was what made others fear him.

He turned to the group behind him and said, After demolishing it, smash all the building materials to the state they were in before they were constructed. This especially goes for the stones, foundation stones, and pebbles in the concrete.

"Sir, that's not necessary, is it? Itll take at least six months to finish it all."

"I can hire another team if you cant do it. Xie Yuchen looked at the construction teams manager, "After all of the building materials are crushed, pack them up according to the date and time they were crushed and send them to my companys warehouse. Theyll check them one by one.

Did you lose something? Is it valuable? These contractors come and go so they might take it with them. I can't do anything if that happens."

I can tell youre trying to avoid conflict before anything even happens, but dont mess with me. You know who I am. I know the work you do isnt easy either, so you can just reject this job if you dont think you can handle it. But if you take this job on, you have to make sure that your contractors are reliable. Otherwise" Xie Yuchen looked at him without saying anything else. His eyes were full of disgust in the face of the mans attempt at evading responsibility. 

The managers forehead broke out in a cold sweat as he struggled to reconcile with Xie Yuchen. 

Xie Yuchen patted him, Just kidding.

As the manager began stressing to the contractors the importance of their responsibility, Xie Yuchen's employee on the side took a photo of each contractor. Xie Yuchen was also very disgusted with himself for distrusting human nature so much, but all the preventive measures he had taken in the past when speculating about bad people had all ended up being useful. 

He lowered his head and checked his phone, which contained all of the results of Liang Yanyans investigation. There were also several missed calls from someone, so he called them back. 

"Did you find anything?"

There are a lot of household items underground, but the person is gone. I left a note for him and told him that he can come and find me any time since Im not a normal person either, the other party said. So not only did he not hurt Liang Yanyan, but he also sent her back? This woman made me work here as a contractor and dig a big hole for nothing. 

Xie Yuchen looked behind him. The team had already started smashing the road and pushing the walls down. Its quite a big loss if Ive made the wrong call, he thought to himself. 

"Your eyesdo you agree with what Long Immortal said?

"Long Immortal is quite powerful. Hes not dead and he still remembers me. Maybe he will take the initiative and appear in front of me after I go blind."

"And you think such a good thing exists in this world?

"Isn't that how immortals come to life?"

Xie Yuchen smiled, "Ive arranged for you all to have medical exams. Bring those two with you and make sure you all get check-ups. Its better to make sure theres nothing wrong with your brain and that its something else acting up.

The other party laughed, Which one do you like better: the goose that lays the golden egg or the person who cultivates diamonds in their head?

"The doctor who will examine you will probably be Tu Dian," Xie Yuchen said.

The other party let out a whistle and said, Take a closer look at the photothe group photo with Pan Boda in it that was taken at the village. Theres a man with a video camera standing among the group of people."

As the other party hung up the phone, Xie Yuchen opened up the photo and enlarged it to take a look. The photo was quite blurry, so he couldn't see it clearly.

The person looked a bit like Tu Dian, but he was much older.

Xie Yuchen laughed in spite of himself. Does he hate Tu Dian that much to pin all suspicion on him? But when he looked at the photo again, he began to have doubts as well. 

They did look very similar, but that was impossibleTu Dian grew up with him. There was no way this could ever happen.

In a strict sense, Tu Dian wasnt an evil person. Xie Yuchen just always believed that Tu Dian was uncontrollable and too fond of pranks. In the Xie family, the representative of wisdom had been fixed for a long time, so Tu Dian could only rely on increasingly bad pranks to get the adults attention. 

Xie Yuchen stared silently at the photo for a long time. His brain could process things very quickly, so by this point, he had gone through all of the possibilities. He immediately took out his phone and began issuing orders to his subordinates. At this time, however, he saw a cat come out of the grass and sit down beside him.

Xie Yuchen looked at the cat and the cat looked back at him. It was a very good-looking kitten. But instead of showing tenderness this time, Xie Yuchens expression was full of shock.

He immediately made a call, "Where did you bury the cat that died in my car?"
