Chapter 3916 Half-mother

What I didn't expect was that these two men in black were tough nuts to crack. Even after Kassan stabbed one of them twice, he still refused to speak.

The slovenly Taoist priest immediately kicked the man in black in front of us to the ground, pried open his mouth, and stuffed a Nine-Turn Bone-Scraping Pill into his mouth.

When you encounter such a tough nut to crack, you have to use this thing; it's almost impossible for them not to open up.

The other man in black was stabbed several times by Kassan, bleeding profusely, and it was estimated that he would not survive.

Not long after taking the Nine-Turn Bone-Scraping Pill, the man in black felt the power of the pill. First, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, then he trembled all over and his face turned red. After a while, he could not bear the pain and let out a miserable scream like a pig being slaughtered.

I've set up a magic circle at the entrance, so no matter how loudly you shout, no one will hear you.

Two minutes later, the man in black was in so much pain that he banged his head against the wall, truly suffering terribly and looking like he was dying.

We just stood there and watched until the other party begged for mercy.

This kid is really tough. He held on for three minutes, until he was in so much pain he was almost rolling his eyes back, before he begged us to stop.

We ignored him; we had to teach him a lesson so he wouldn't dare lie to us again.

Four minutes later, the man in black fainted from the pain. Kassan went over and used the animal bone under his nose to revive him.

Then, the effects of the Nine-Turn Bone-Scraping Pill continued to take hold, and the man in black knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly to us, indicating that he would tell us everything. Only then did I stop the Nine-Turn Bone-Scraping Pill.

"Speak, why are you targeting the Zhou family? Was it all orchestrated by the Li family?" I pulled over the chair that Ma Yuanwang had been sitting in and sat opposite the man in black.

The man in black knelt on the ground, trembling, and after a long while, he finally said, "This...this has nothing to do with the Li family. It was my master who wanted to target the Zhou family..."

"Your master? Who is he?" I immediately became interested.

This has nothing to do with the Li family. I thought it was the Li family trying to destroy the Zhou family.

“My master… my master’s name is Huo Qingfeng. He is the number one feng shui master in Hong Kong and the official feng shui master of the Li family,” the man in black said again.

"Which sect does your master belong to?" I asked again.

“My master is from the Divination School…” the man in black said again.

I've heard my master mention this school of feng shui. Among the various feng shui schools in China, it's a small sect. The Flipping Trigram School mainly uses the Eight Trigrams to derive the Nine Star Trigrams, and then combines them with the mountains and waters to determine good and bad fortune. There are several flipping methods in the Flipping Trigram School, such as the Auxiliary Star Flipping Trigram, also known as the Huang Shigong Flipping Trigram Method. It is based on the Na Jia system and uses the Nine Stars such as Tanlang, Jumen, and Lucun to deduce good and bad fortune.

In China, among various schools of Feng Shui, regardless of the specific school, as long as one learns its essence and develops it to its fullest potential, one can become a top-notch Feng Shui master.

It seems that Huo Qingfeng is definitely a very difficult character to deal with.

I pondered for a moment, then asked again, "Why did your master, Huo Qingfeng, target the Zhou family? What grudge did he have against them?"

Upon hearing my question, the man in black became somewhat frightened and hesitated to speak.

"I think you don't want to live anymore. Let me make you feel the pain for a few more minutes," the slovenly Taoist priest threatened from the side.

"No...no...I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything..."

The man in black raised his hands in pleading for mercy, and then said again, "Actually, it wasn't my master who wanted to deal with the Zhou family, but a man named Zhou Biao who found my master and asked him to deal with the Zhou family."

When I heard the man in black say that name, I was a little confused again. How did another Zhou Biao come up?

"Who is this Zhou Biao? Why is he targeting Boss Zhou?" I was full of questions.

“Zhou Biao… is actually Zhou Ziran’s half-brother. When Zhou’s father passed away, he left all the family property to Zhou Ziran. Zhou Biao was an illegitimate child and was unable to inherit the family property. Therefore, Zhou Biao harbored resentment and wanted to kill Zhou Ziran’s family. If the Zhou family is all dead, then Zhou Biao will be the sole heir to the Zhou family’s property. Zhou Biao promised my master that as long as he gets his hands on the Zhou family’s property, he will give half of it to my master…” the man in black said again.

Upon hearing this, I suddenly realized what was going on.

So that's what happened. After going through such a long and complicated process, I finally figured out the ins and outs of this matter.

It turns out that the person who wanted to kill Mr. Zhou's family was actually Mr. Zhou's half-brother.

The wealthy circles in Hong Kong are truly chaotic. If Mr. Zhou's father hadn't had an illegitimate child, the Zhou family wouldn't have almost faced annihilation.

Half of the Zhou family's assets would amount to tens of billions. As the saying goes, money can be a powerful motivator. For so much money, Huo Qingfeng would definitely risk his life to do this.

So, this matter doesn't have much to do with the wealthy man surnamed Li.

Although the Zhou family has a lot of money, it's not worth the Li family taking such a big risk.

After hearing the cause of the matter, the slovenly Taoist priest was greatly disappointed, and his original plan to embezzle money from the Li family fell through.

Because there is no reason.

However, as the Li family's personal feng shui master, Huo Qingfeng must be quite wealthy, which certainly won't stop us from rigging our business, though perhaps a little less.

After a moment's hesitation, I looked at the man in black again: "Does your master, Huo Qingfeng, also live in the Li family? Which house does he live in specifically?"

The man in black nodded: "My master lives here. He told us to capture your men, but we didn't expect them to be so powerful. We can only capture Ma Yuanwang now. We secretly brought Ma Yuanwang to the Li family. We originally planned to release him after you left. My master lives in the southwest corner of this house."

Upon hearing this, we exchanged glances, and Kassan immediately stepped forward and slapped the man in black unconscious.

"Sigh, it seems we won't be able to make any big money this time. But this Huo Qingfeng must have a few small goals, right?" the slovenly Taoist priest said, stroking his chin.

"Let's go meet Huo Qingfeng. I want to see what kind of ruthless character he is." My face darkened, and I immediately took out an invisibility talisman and stuck it on Ma Yuanwang's body.

“Uncle Ma, I’ve cast an invisibility spell on you. You won’t be able to see us in a little while, and no one else will be able to see you either, but you’ll be able to sense where we are. Just follow us,” I said with a smile.

"This is so exciting, this is interesting." Ma Yuanwang was carefree and seemed very interested in joining us in doing something.

So, after knocking the two men in black unconscious, we closed the door again and headed straight for Huo Qingfeng's location.

Just as we were about to approach the house in the southwest corner, suddenly, white mist rolled in from all directions, and the magic array was activated.
