Lifting the cup of hot tea before him, Chen Hai took a sip or two.
With an air of profound mystery, he offered a faint smile and continued speaking.
In the world of human relations, only the ties of mutual benefit can forge a closer bond between two parties.
Chen Hai came here with the intention to seek Qian Feng’s assistance.
However, merely asking for Qian Feng’s help without offering him any benefit was unlikely to garner his full support.
At this moment, upon hearing Chen Hai’s words, Qian Feng’s eyes visibly lit up.
The vacancy left by Liu Dagui was tantalizing; it would be a complete lie to say he wasn’t covetous of it.
He was aware of his own limitations and knew he was not fit for the position, which is why he had not contended for it earlier.
“Opportunity knocks but once,” as the saying goes.
A properly handled murder case could indeed enhance Qian Feng’s political achievements.
And what about the Fengshui Secret Skill mentioned by Chen Hai?
What if it truly could give him an advantage?
Although Chen Hai had not guaranteed that Qian Feng would definitively secure the position, the latter’s heart was already ablaze with eager anticipation after hearing those words.
“Master Chen, could you tell me exactly what murder case it is?”
Despite his internal ecstasy, Qian Feng remained clear-headed and immediately inquired about the case.
“It happened in our Chenjiaping Village.
You must have heard about the village secretary, Chen Erleng.”
“To be frank, the murder I mentioned was committed by him…” Chen Hai could see that Qian Feng was very moved by his suggestion.
He did not conceal anything, recounting to Qian Feng the inside story of Limp Zhang’s death in full detail.
Of course, as for the source of the information, Chen Hai definitely did not disclose that.
After all, the fact that Limp Zhang’s Remnant Soul lingered around for over ten days was not something outsiders would understand, and Chen Hai found it difficult to explain.
“Outrageous!
How audacious!”
“I’ve long heard of Chen Erleng’s arrogance and venomous nature.”
“Who would have thought he could be so monstrously cruel as to kill someone over a trivial matter, utterly disregarding the law and human life!”
“Clean as a whistle and wholeheartedly serving the people, I, Qian Feng, make it my duty to deal with the likes of Chen Erleng.
I will not tolerate any such foul play…”
With a slap on the tea table before him, Qian Feng was filled with righteous indignation, making his vow emphatically.
Perhaps the force of the slap was a bit too strong, as the Rolex watch loaned to him by a certain boss even made contact with the surface of the table.
He quickly withdrew his hand and, upon seeing that the watch was undamaged, he felt somewhat relieved.
After all, as a public servant like himself, having a watch was crucial for maintaining a strong sense of timing.
The boss loaning him the watch was merely being kindhearted.
What if the watch were damaged, leading to a lapse in his punctuality?
What would he do then?
Could he really go and borrow another watch from a boss?
Such deplorable behavior was beyond what he, a man of unimpeachable integrity, could bring himself to do.
“Uncle Qian, someone as fair and honest as you securing the position left by Liu Dagui would indeed be a blessing for Wuyang Town!”
Since Qian Feng had already made a promise to oversee the investigation of Limp Zhang’s case, Chen Hai naturally did not miss the opportunity to flatter him at the opportune moment.
“Master Chen, about the arrangement of the Feng Shui…”
Qian Feng followed up immediately, probing with a question.
“Don’t worry, Uncle Qian.
I’ll only be staying in Wuyang Town for a day or two at most.”
“I can start working on the Feng Shui arrangement for you right now!”
“As for this house of yours, its geographical location is acceptable.
With some minor adjustments to certain details, it should be able to bring you some good fortune and official luck!”
…
Chen Hai responded with a smile.
Geomancy Inspection Skill was inherently about Dragon Seeking and Pointing, but finding genuine Feng Shui treasures is no easy feat, often incredibly time-consuming and arduous.
Chen Hai had no intention of going to great lengths to find a Feng Shui treasure for Qian Feng.
In his opinion, if he were to come across such a prime location, why not keep it for his own family?
Why would he give it away to someone else!
What he meant by helping Qian Feng improve his fortune was merely to take a look at his Yang Mansion and, based on the current situation, make some slight modifications to bring him a year or two of good fortune.
After finishing speaking, Chen Hai instantly stood up and began surveying his surroundings with his Geomancy Inspection Skill.
Just by briefly glancing around the room, Chen Hai was ready to cease using the skill.
The longer he used this Dharma Method, the greater its impact on his health.
Of course, merely activating the skill for a mere second or two before stopping did not leave any substantial aftereffects, and this was within Chen Hai’s capacity to endure.
With his eyes slightly closed, he took several deep breaths.
The slight negative impact from briefly using the Geomancy Inspection Skill had already dissipated considerably.
“Master Chen, how is the Feng Shui of my house?” Just as Chen Hai opened his eyes, Qian Feng couldn’t wait any longer and rushed to inquire.
“It’s passable!” Chen Hai nodded and responded.
Considering Qian Feng’s comfortable life as a deputy town mayor, the Feng Shui of his house couldn’t be all that bad to begin with.
