Metaphysics Reborn: My rules are rules

"pat"

The old housekeeper opened the study door with a bunch of keys.

Thick curtains were drawn at the study window, preventing any sunlight from entering.

"Is there no light?" Liang Yuan frowned and groped on the wall.

The old housekeeper paused slightly: "Yes, but the owner doesn't like too bright lights, so turning on the lights should be the same as now."

After saying that, he took a few steps forward and skillfully pulled the switch.

As the old housekeeper said, even if the light is turned on, it is of little use. He can only vaguely see the layout of the study.

Liang Yuan sighed, took out his cell phone from his pocket, and turned on the flashlight.

"Master Jiang is dealing with things here? Can you see clearly?" Liang Yuan muttered, approaching the desk.

The old housekeeper didn't know whether he didn't hear it or something, so he didn't say anything.

Liang Yuan lowered his head and looked through the things on the desk again, and the old housekeeper stepped forward.

"Don't worry, I haven't read the secrets of your Jiang Group." Liang Yuan smiled, flipped through the book in front of him, and showed the cover to the housekeeper.

It was a book about spells, and it was indeed not from the Jiang Group. The old housekeeper paused and said nothing.

nothing special.

Liang Yuan pouted and closed the book. Just as he was about to stand up and lower his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the compass in his hand spinning crazily.

Strange, there is nothing abnormal here, and there is nothing evil here. Why is this compass...

Liang Yuan couldn't understand, so he simply sat back on the chair again.

"What is this?" Liang Yuan moved the small bell on the table curiously.

"Nothing special." The old housekeeper answered quickly, "The master likes to be quiet. He is often alone in the study. Sometimes he will ring the bell when he comes to see us."

Liang Yuan nodded to show that he understood. Just when he was about to withdraw his hand, there was a slight strange sound in his ears.

The old housekeeper's gaze fell on Liang Yuan's hand vaguely. He thought it was secret, but Liang Yuan still noticed it.

Liang Yuan rolled his eyes and suddenly pressed the bell.

"Ding--"

A slightly harsh sound echoed in the empty room. Liang Yuan frowned and raised his hand to dig his ears.

Still nothing special.

Isn't it a problem with the bell?Liang Yuan thought, then picked up the bell and looked at it.

I still don't see any clue, maybe I'm just overthinking.

"My old master has so many books." Liang Yuan sighed as he glanced at the entire row of bookshelves.

"Yes, the head of the family likes to collect unique copies." The old housekeeper agreed.

Liang Yuan held up his mobile phone and scanned the books carefully: "My old master likes to read books from Southeast Asia?"

Most of these books were written in Southeast Asian languages. Liang Yuan only vaguely recognized a few characters and was not proficient in them.

The old housekeeper replied: "My master likes foreign languages."

Liang Yuan nodded: "Can I read this book?"

"Please."

Liang Yuan opened the door of the bookcase and picked out a book with "runes" written in Southeast Asian characters to read.

"This is..." Liang Yuan's pupils narrowed, trying to pretend to be calm.

It’s actually a sorcery from Southeast Asia!

Although he didn’t quite recognize the characters in Southeast Asia, he could understand the illustrations!The side he was looking at taught people the evil technique of using children as seducers!

Liang Yuan gritted his teeth and looked back, but there were still some unsightly pictures.

He exhaled and put the book back. There must be something wrong with this study.

Perhaps sensing the change in Liang Yuan's mood, the old housekeeper asked with concern: "What's wrong with Mr. Liang?"

Liang Yuan took a breath: "...it's okay."

After walking around the bookcase, Liang Yuan finally saw something.

The layout of this study is wrong. Most of the rooms are square. Although they are not square, they will never be as unbalanced as this study.

"Hiss—" Liang Yuan took advantage of the old housekeeper's lack of attention and cut his fingers open with the knife he carried.

"Mr. Liang, what's wrong?" the old housekeeper asked. The lights in the study were dim. He was old and couldn't see clearly what was happening in Liang Garden.

Liang Yuan smiled sheepishly: "I accidentally scratched my hand. I might have to ask the housekeeper to bring me the medical kit to deal with it."

The old housekeeper hesitated: "Mr. Liang, it's better to follow me. This way we can handle the matter faster."

"I'd better trouble the old gentleman to bring the medicine box. I'm still very interested in Mr. Jiang's collection of books and want to take another look." Liang Yuan said.

After a few minutes of stalemate, the old housekeeper nodded: "Okay, Mr. Liang, please wait here."

After the old housekeeper walked away, Liang Yuan picked up the communicator, asked his colleagues scattered around the Jiang family's old house to come over, and checked the bookcases carefully.

He really discovered something was wrong. There were a few inconspicuous small ornaments placed in the outermost bookcase. There was nothing wrong with them originally, but these ornaments were particularly conspicuous among the collection of books.

Liang Yuan moved cautiously.

"click"

It was a very weak sound, but Liang Yuan still caught it, and he tried to move again.

"click click"

This time the sound lasted for several times. Liang Yuan held up the phone and squinted at it. After hearing a few more sounds, one of the bookcases slowly moved to the side.

Although Liang Yuan had already guessed the existence of Anjian, he was still surprised.

"No, no."

Song Qingqing, who was locked in a small room, suddenly saw the light again. Although the light was not bright, it made her a little excited.

"Well, yeah -"

Her tongue was pulled out and she couldn't speak. She could only babble and say some modal words. She was lying on the dirty bed. She had not had any water these days, which made her a little weak.

Liang Yuan was startled by the woman in front of him and looked at her intently.

He couldn't even be considered a person - he was disheveled and dry, curled up on the bed, babbling incomprehensible words.

"You, do you understand what I'm saying?" Liang Yuan approached carefully and asked.

Song Qingqing nodded, with tears in her eyes.

"then you--"

"Mr. Liang." The old butler's voice sounded at the door, his tone a little deep, "What are you doing?"

*

A few days later, Ye Yuran learned from Qi Zhengyang that Jiang Chaosheng had been sentenced to life imprisonment. His crimes were originally punishable by death, but the connections accumulated by the Jiang family over the years were still of some use. The matter was suppressed and he was sentenced to imprisonment.

Ye Yuran was not surprised by this, but imprisonment was not necessarily better than the death penalty. For people like Jiang Changsheng who were contaminated with sorcery, their superiors would never let up.

"Oh, the master from Southeast Asia whom Jiang Xiangsheng raised has also been arrested." Qi Zhengyang said, "Fortunately, Liang Yuan went there in time. The master was about to attack Jiang Xiangsheng's little lover, who is his name? Song Qingqing? That should be her name, she is being used as a container."

Suddenly hearing the familiar name, Ye Yuran raised her eyebrows slightly. She had already guessed that Jiang Changsheng would not treat Song Qingqing favorably, but she didn't expect that he would actually keep her as a container.

"How is she now?" Ye Yuran asked.

Qi Zhengyang sighed when he thought of the woman on the hospital bed: "It's quite miserable. Her tongue was pulled out. She hasn't eaten for several days. Now she can only give her nutrient solution."

Ye Yuran chuckled, but she had brought it on herself. She had high eyes and low hands, and was blinded by wealth.

The Jiang family collapsed, and the news spread quickly in Bei City.

The Jiang family has always been high-profile and offended many people. When something happened to it, there were many people who were gloating over the misfortune, and some people even joined forces to steal many of the Jiang family's projects.

Ye Yuran smiled sincerely when he heard Chen Shuo talking about these things.

The enemy in the previous life fell, and the Ye family also gained the attention of the superiors. It developed rapidly and seemed to surpass the Gu family.

All the regrets in my previous life have been made up for in this life. I not only have friends around me, but also a caring person who understands both cold and hot.

"Of course, brother hasn't seen you for two days, don't you miss him?"

——Too clingy.

Ye Yuran reluctantly placed a kiss on Gu Jinyu's face.

If you choose it yourself, you can only pamper it yourself!
