As Jia Shuqing got off her car after work and was about to enter the house, Jia Kuodong arrived.
"Sister! Wait a moment!" Jia Kuodong said, running a few steps.
"Let's talk inside!"
Jia Shuqing said, opening the door, and Jia Kuodong followed her in, shaking his head.
As Jia Shuqing passed the God of Wealth statue, its eyes indeed lit up, this time for a longer period. Jia Shuqing's head was within its gaze for as long as thirty seconds.
Liu Sandao became even more certain that there was something wrong with the statue and immediately used the secret method of 'all-pervasive' from the 'Ruoshui Fu' to examine it.
As expected, he discovered a secret in the deity's head.
There was a trace of divine consciousness there, seemingly absorbed just now. Liu Sandao was unsure if this divine consciousness belonged to Jia Shuqing or the person who placed the statue.
To lure out the manipulator behind the scenes, Liu Sandao decided to cast a spell to imprison that divine consciousness.
Once the divine consciousness was imprisoned, the one who released it or the one who obtained it would have to come to release the restraint.
With this in mind, Liu Sandao channeled spiritual energy into his body and pointed his right hand directly at the statue.
While waiting, Jia Shuqing and Jia Kuodong's conversation reached his ears.
"Sister, that Wu Daoning is simply unappreciative. The repeated power outages still didn't work!" Jia Kuodong said dejectedly. His head, which had been drooping, suddenly lifted, and he uttered, "Damn it, should I take some men and cut him down!"
"I have plenty of ways to deal with him! As for cutting him down, don't act until it comes to that," Jia Shuqing said calmly, but her face was dark.
"This won't work, and that won't work. If all else fails, I'll block his door and see how he does business!"
Jia Kuodong said, standing up and pacing back and forth.
"This... this is actually a good idea. Here's what you do, take a few workers and weld his storefront shut, and weld shut the storefronts on the adjacent street!"
As soon as Jia Shuqing gave the order, her even more malicious idea was to come up with a plausible excuse.
Jia Kuodong had always considered Jia Shuqing his backbone, but to confirm if this course of action was too extreme, he still mentioned:
"Are we really going to do this? And under what pretext? We're only targeting small supermarkets; is it necessary to target others?"
"Why so much nonsense? Do as you're told! Say that their houses are illegal constructions and their sanitation is not up to par. Until the necessary procedures are handled, all operations are suspended!"
Upon hearing this, Jia Kuodong happily patted his head, his eyes darting around shrewdly. "Sister, you're brilliant! I'll go do it now!"
After flattering her, he grabbed the grapes from the table and popped two into his mouth.
Jia Shuqing also hadn't expected to come up with such a brilliant idea and couldn't help but smile happily. "You little brat, hurry up and go!"
Jia Kuodong walked out without looking back, but he happened to run into Zhao Hui, who had just returned.
"Going somewhere, Uncle!"
"Mm."
"Bang!" The sound of the door closing.
"Mom!"
"How are things at school?" Jia Shuqing's recently relaxed mood seemed to be overshadowed by gloom again.
"Don't even mention it. That bastard surnamed Wang absolutely refuses. Can you believe it? The worst part is he even threatened to make it public! I think he's tired of living!"
Zhao Hui slumped onto the sofa, saying resentfully.
"How is he injured?"
"He won't die, just confined to bed. If you ask me, why don't we find someone to... him..."
Zhao Hui said, making a throat-slitting gesture with his hand.
This was a very dangerous move.
With Jia Shuqing's current level of control, she hadn't considered it, but after so many years of effort, she had achieved what she had today. She was still familiar with the policies.
If she didn't want to cause big trouble, she had to handle him, but she couldn't take a life. Otherwise, it might...
As she hesitated, a surge of divine consciousness rushed towards the God of Wealth statue.
Mortals couldn't see it, but Liu Sandao could.
It was a dark divine consciousness, slowly trying to burrow into the statue's skull.
Unfortunately, it encountered Liu Sandao's divine consciousness and couldn't enter.
The dark divine consciousness seemed unwilling and began to circle around. Sudan Novel Network.
"Damn it, who's ruining my good deed!"
A voice came from the air; it was that person.
Liu Sandao never expected that person to be so outrageous, daring to impersonate a celestial deity so openly. If the God of Wealth knew how he was being treated, wouldn't he skin him alive?
"Liu Sandao, come out here!"
That person seemed to realize that Liu Sandao was the one casting the spell and called out directly.
Liu Sandao did not hide and appeared directly.
Since the mastermind had revealed himself, this battle was inevitable, so there was no need to hide any longer.
However, this time, that person was considerably more confident, even his voice had become much louder.
Liu Sandao knew that it wasn't just his loud voice, but his inner strength had improved.
That person's strength had indeed increased significantly recently. It turned out that the fortuitous fruit not only improved inner strength during the initial refining period but could also increase cultivation for at least half a month afterward. How much it could improve depended on one's talent and aptitude.
Only a few days had passed, and that person had already advanced by another two levels.
"Hahaha, Liu Sandao, why aren't you on patrol? What are you doing here? There's no fortuitous fruit system here!"
That person said, laughing heartily.
"Someone is acting recklessly, and I am patrolling this area."
That person's eyes widened, then narrowed again. He lit a cigar and took a puff.
"Shhh!"
"Oh, who is acting recklessly? Tell me, I'd like to see."
Liu Sandao did not speak but turned to look at Jia Shuqing.
"It's best for you and me not to interfere in human affairs, otherwise, it will alter the heavenly secrets and cause us to lose our divine status!"
These words sounded noble, implying: you are a deity; you shouldn't meddle in human affairs.
But that person was using his divine consciousness to influence Jia Shuqing's emotions. Wasn't that meddling?
As expected, saying one thing and doing another was not unique to the human realm.
"I had no intention of interfering. I was merely passing by and saw that Zhao Wealth God's statue was unusual, so I came to investigate. To my surprise, there was indeed foul play. I wonder what kind of demon has dared to openly cast spells on a celestial deity."
"Hahaha, demon!"
That person sneered and, with a flick of his hand, broke Liu Sandao's restraint.
Although the restraint could lock divine consciousness, it couldn't withstand a powerful magical attack.
As long as a deity with greater magical power cast a spell, it would naturally break.
Liu Sandao was startled, not by that person's removal of the restraint, but by the fact that his magical power had surpassed his own.
This was definitely not good news!
"What are you still standing there for? Go and do your job!" That person suddenly glanced in Jia Shuqing's direction.
