Chapter 680 - 680: So It Was a Lie
Li Qianfan sneered and said, “As the saying goes, if you don’t do anything guilty, you won’t be afraid of ghosts knocking at your door in the middle of the night. Master Liu, if you haven’t done anything wrong, what’s there to be afraid of?”
As Li Qianfan said this, Liu Shanshui’s already pale face turned even whiter!
Murong Shan strode up to Liu Shanshui, grabbed his shoulders fiercely, and demanded, “I’m asking you one last time, what’s the deal with the bad luck on my daughter? Think carefully before you answer, Liu Shanshui, or don’t blame me for being rude!”
With Murong Shan’s words, those dozen or so suited bodyguards all crowded around, encircling Liu Shanshui in the middle.
Liu Shanshui was so frightened he wet his pants, and a smell of urine began to spread around!
Immediately after, Liu Shanshui fell to his knees with a thud, pleading repeatedly, “Murong Family Head, please spare me, I didn’t mean to deceive you all… It was all Mr. Qian’s idea, he told me to do it!”
“Mr. Qian? Are you talking about Qian Youyu, the young master of the Qian Family in Da’an City?” Murong Shan asked coldly.
“Yes, it’s him, it’s him…” Liu Shanshui nodded repeatedly.
Before Murong Shan could ask further, Liu Shanshui spilled the beans and blurted out the truth.
“Mr. Qian coveted Miss Murong Yue’s beauty but couldn’t lay his hands on her, so he came to me, asking me to lie to you all. In fact, Miss Murong Yue doesn’t have any bad luck at all, and the claim that she must sleep with a man born on July 30th is also false; Mr. Qian told me to say that…”
“I was initially unwilling, but not only did Mr. Qian offer me five million as an inducement, but he also threatened and intimidated me, saying he’d have me killed if I didn’t agree. I had no choice but to do as he asked, and after it was done, Mr. Qian gave me the five million and sent me abroad, telling me not to return to the country for ten years…”
The situation became crystal clear.
Qian Youyu wanted to get his hands on Murong Yue as soon as possible, so he found Liu Shanshui, a Feng Shui master, to deceive Murong Shan and Murong Yue.
Qian Youyu was born on the 30th of July, which meant he could naturally end up with Murong Yue, and turn precooked rice into cooked rice!
However, Qian Youyu never counted on Murong Yue’s cousin, Zeng Qian, meeting Li Qianfan, who was also born on the 30th of July. Thus, Zeng Qian asked Li Qianfan to help “bless” Murong Yue, which dragged Li Qianfan into the mix.
It was because of this that Qian Youyu’s plan was exposed!
“Well played, Qian Youyu, daring to use such sly tricks against our Murong Family!” Murong Shan clenched his fists tight, with his knuckles turning white.
And Murong Yue stood there as if struck by lightning, dazed and unable to snap back to reality.
“Qian Youyu actually used such filthy methods… this… this…” Murong Yue muttered to herself, her complexion ashen.
Fuming with anger, Murong Zi spoke up, “I never expected Qian Youyu to be so despicable. Luckily, Mr. Li warned us; otherwise, we would still be kept in the dark! Who knows, maybe by the end, you would have been fooled by Qian Youyu’s plot!”
Murong Zi’s words woke Murong Shan, who immediately strode over to Li Qianfan and bowed deeply.
“The Murong Family Head need not do this; I simply couldn’t stand the nasty actions of Qian Youyu and wanted to help, it’s just a minor matter.” Li Qianfan said.
“Mr. Li, you are really too modest.” Murong Shan praised.
Curious, Yang Meizhen asked, “However, Mr. Li, how did you shrewdly discern that something was amiss here?”
“Because I have examined Miss Murong Yue, I am very aware that there is no ill fortune within her body. Hence I suspected that the feng shui master you sought was swindling and deceiving you, and now it seems I was right,” Li Qianfan said with a chuckle.
“Mr. Li is truly a divine being!” Yang Meizhen said gratefully.
Murong Shan suddenly realized something and said, “Since my daughter has no ill fortune in her body, why has she been weak and sickly since childhood, and why can no major hospital find the problem? Mr. Li, you are skilled in medicine and have also examined my daughter, so do you know what the reason might be?”
Li Qianfan, of course, knew the reason—it was the Li Chun Solar Terms Power within Murong Yue’s body!
But Li Qianfan did not disclose the matter of the Power of the Solar Terms. Instead, he nonchalantly made up an answer: “The reason Miss Murong Yue has been weak and sickly since childhood is due to a deficiency of Innate Qi and Blood. If the Murong Family Head can obtain Centennial Ganoderma, I can refine a Spirit Pill to completely solve this problem for her.”
“Centennial Ganoderma? Haha, I have it! Xiao Yue, later you take Mr. Li to our family’s treasury. We have more than one Centennial Ganoderma there!” Murong Shan laughed heartily.
The Murong Family actually has Centennial Ganoderma?
Although Centennial Ganoderma isn’t an extremely rare and precious Spiritual Medicine, it is still highly valuable. The fact that the Murong Family has more than one Centennial Ganoderma piqued Li Qianfan’s curiosity.
However, now wasn’t the time for such questions, so Li Qianfan did not inquire further.
Murong Shan turned his head to look at Liu Shanshui, who was kneeling on the ground shivering, and he said without any courtesy, “Kick this guy out, and don’t allow him to step half a foot into our Murong Family’s doors ever again!”
“Yes, Family Head!” the leading bodyguard responded resoundingly.
Then, the group of bodyguards dragged Liu Shanshui out in a messy scramble, like dragging away an old dog.
Liu Ruyan and Ah Hua continued to protect Murong Zi, while Li Qianfan followed Murong Yue to the door of the Murong Family’s treasure hoard deep within the mansion.
Murong Yue first entered her fingerprint, then a password, and after some trouble finally opened the treasure vault’s grand door.
As soon as the door cracked open, a rich medicinal herb fragrance surged into Li Qianfan’s nostrils.
Li Qianfan glanced inside and his eyes instantly widened!
Because the vault was filled with medicinal materials, and among them, the Centennial Ganoderma was nothing spectacular!
“Your family actually has so many precious medicinal materials?” Li Qianfan said in surprise.
Murong Yue smiled and said, “Of course. Didn’t you know that our Murong Family is a Chinese medicine lineage with more than two hundred years of history in cultivating and selling medicinal materials?”
“I did not know that,” Li Qianfan shook his head.
Entering the vault, Li Qianfan picked up a Centennial Ganoderma and then curiously looked around.
“The largest Chinese medicine material trading company in Da’an City is our family’s business, named Murong Chinese Medicine Group,” Murong Yue added.
Li Qianfan finally remembered.
The Murong Chinese Medicine Group was the leading enterprise in the Chinese medicine material field in Da’an City!
The Chinese medicine material trading market in Da’an City, sixty percent of it was dominated by the Murong Chinese Medicine Group!
It was just that Li Qianfan had completely forgotten about this detail before, and only now did it finally dawn on him.
