At six o'clock in the evening, Hua Qingyao appeared in the office on time and asked Xiang Shang, "How is the situation there now?"

"Let Wen Sheng go over and watch." Shang Shixu informed him of the results of the meeting.

"Yes." Hua Qingyao nodded, "Wen Sheng works meticulously and the work of finding clues is tedious, so it suits him."

At this time, Lu Wensheng was already at the Fengshan Mountain Col. He was holding a compass and carefully distinguishing the areas, starting from the dead tree as the center and extending outward bit by bit, looking for abnormal places.

Even though he had the compass left by his father, he had just started practicing and lacked spiritual power. He checked it back and forth. After a while, he was sweating. After looking for two or three hours, Lu Wensheng began to have some difficulty. He exhaled lightly and wiped the sweat. continue.

Lu Wensheng just rested and started working again. He was busy until two or three o'clock in the middle of the night. He casually sat under a tree to rest and drink some water. He didn't expect to fall asleep without realizing it.

A man slowly moved out from behind the tree, stood in front of Lu Wensheng, looked at him, then smiled slightly, turned and left.

When Lu Wensheng woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. He patted his head in annoyance and muttered: "Why did you fall asleep?"

He quickly stood up and was about to pick up the compass when his whole body froze and he looked up at the tree in front of him in disbelief.

Lu Wensheng quickly took out his mobile phone and said, "Hey, Brother Xu, there's something going on in Fengshan. The tree is dead again."

"Did you feel anything unusual?" Shang Shixu asked.

"No." Lu Wensheng felt a little ashamed, "I searched for a long time last night and found nothing unusual."

"You come back first, Lin Xi will go over to check." Shang Shixu thought for a while and said.

After hanging up the phone, Shang Shixu looked at Lin Xi, "What do you think is going on?"

"I don't know." Lin Xi was also confused. How could the tree she had resurrected die again overnight? How could a life disappear so quickly and yet escape his perception.

"Go take a look and report to the boss when you come back." Shang Shixu frowned slightly and said, "Don't restore it this time, just set up a blindfold." Just make sure that tourists who enter by mistake can't see the tree.

Lu Wensheng said hello to the colleagues on duty before leaving. After arriving home, he opened the door and Mother Lu had already walked out of the living room, "Wen Sheng? Are you coming back so early?"

"Have you been up all night?" Mother Lu looked at the dark circles under her son's eyes with distress.

"Mom, I'm working overtime. I came back to catch up on my sleep. It's okay." Lu Wensheng smiled and comforted his mother, "Don't wait for me anymore." He looked at his mother who was also in a bad mood with distress.

"You need to eat something before going to bed. You must have not eaten yet." Mother Lu muttered as she went to the kitchen to get the food.

"Mom, you go catch up on your sleep and go to bed." Seeing that his mother still refused to stop doing housework, Lu Wensheng simply took the mop and said, "I'll buy an automatic floor washing machine later. You have a bad back, so don't bend all the time." Wait, I’ll do it when I get back.”

"Okay, mom has gone back to the room to sleep. Stop being busy and go to bed quickly." Mother Lu pushed him into the room.

Mother Lu watched her son change his clothes and lie down, then returned to her room and carefully wiped the photo frame of her child's father with a cloth.

The next day, after watching Lu Wensheng go to work, Mother Lu quickly packed herself, changed into clean and simple clothes, combed her hair neatly, and went out with her bag.

After going out, I didn't take the bus like I usually do when buying groceries. Instead, I luxuriously hailed a taxi. After telling me my address, I sat in the back seat in a reserved manner.

"Customer, you're here." The driver turned to remind the passenger.

Mother Lu, who was tense, finally came back to her senses, "Huh? Oh, master, how much does it cost?"

After paying and getting out of the car, Mother Lu looked at the wealthy area with excellent greenery and luxurious buildings in front of her. She tightened her bags and walked along the tree-lined road, feeling uneasy at the same time.

Thinking of Lu Wensheng, the uneasiness in her heart gradually became stronger. She could do it for the sake of her children.

Arriving at the villa area, Mother Lu looked at the slightly familiar door in front of her and pressed the doorbell.

"Who are you looking for?" a servant opened the small door and asked.

At this time, Mother Lu had calmed down, "I'm looking for Mr. Chen."

Seeing Mother Lu's shabby dress, the servant showed disdain and said, "The old man has a day off today. Come another day." You can't just let such a person in for fear of being scolded.

"Please tell me, I am Qiao Hui." Lu said politely.

"Then you wait." The servant reluctantly slammed the door.

Mother Lu had long known the virtues of the Ge family's servants and didn't care about them. Through the carved door, she looked deep into the courtyard inside, with a wry smile on her face. How much her husband wanted to be recognized by the owner's own father, but unfortunately, until his death, Didn't even wait.

After a while, another servant came out and reopened the small door, "Come in."

"Don't walk around, don't touch around." The servant said, taking Mother Lu to a small living room in the villa.

As soon as they entered, there was a person sitting inside. Mother Lu said, "Brother."

Ge Hongjie, who was sitting on the sofa, glanced at her and said casually: "Sit."

"Didn't I ask you to come over again on the weekend? The old man will be taking a nap upstairs." Ge Hongjie said impatiently.

Mother Lu forced a smile and took out a red envelope from her bag, "We won't be coming over on the weekend. This is a gift..."

Ge Hongjie didn't even look at the red envelope. He frowned at her and asked, "Qiao Hui, I haven't seen you in a few years. You are so grand that I can't even invite you to the old man's birthday. Our Ge family needs your money."

"Brother, that's not what we meant." Mother Lu hurriedly explained, "Look, the old man has never liked Wen Sheng and I. Don't affect the old man's mood during his birthday."

Hearing this, Ge Hongjie's face softened and he said expressionlessly: "You must come then."

Mother Lu showed an embarrassed expression and spoke again: "Brother, Wen Sheng is busy with work and may not have time."

"Is busy work an excuse? Tell me which units are still working on weekends, and I will sue them." Ge Hongjie suddenly became angry.

Mother Lu was stunned for a moment, then she calmed down completely, "I'm afraid he won't be able to come. My son has to work overtime on weekends to support us and my son. If you make him lose his job, you will force us and our son to death."

Mother Lu's fierce words made Ge Hongjie choke. He glared at her fiercely and said nothing.

Seeing the other party like this, Mother Lu stood up and said politely: "Brother, please convey the blessings from me and Wen Sheng. I won't disturb you anymore. I'll take my leave."

After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving Ge Hongjie, who was uncertain on the sofa, staring.

After Mother Lu left, Ge Hongjie went upstairs. When he reached the study, he respectfully called out: "Dad."

"How do you say that?" Ge Xingbang asked casually, sitting on the recliner with his eyes closed.

"She said she couldn't come over the weekend and Wen Sheng had to work overtime." Ge Hongjie said with an ugly face.

"Hmph." Ge Xingbang snorted disdainfully, "A woman who followed Hongbin through such a hard life and refused to run away is a fool."

"It's true that the third brother, why do you have to find such a woman? She was holding on to the third brother to death, and now she is holding on to her own son. Isn't there something wrong in her heart?" When mentioning his younger brother, Ge Hongjie felt like it. Get angry.

"No matter what this woman does, you must let Wen Sheng come back." Ge Xingbang directly ordered, "You must handle this matter well."

"I know, Dad." Ge Hongjie nodded, and after speaking, he silently exited the depressing study.
