Although he finds it strange, Xia Chen doesn't plan to pay more attention to this matter, and in fact it's not his turn to care. He is a little cabbage that his father doesn't love and his mother doesn't love. If it is accidentally mixed in, it will only become cannon fodder.

And now he is in a hurry to find the two missing bones, so he has no time to meddle in such business.

But he didn't want to cause trouble, but the trouble had to be blamed on him. Xia Chen first received a call from his father, and Mr. Xia angrily asked him to go to his grandfather's house. On the phone, he could still hear his stepmother's sharp quarrels and curses. It has lost the ladylike temperament she usually wears all the time.

Xia Chen was suddenly very upset. It can be said that this matter had nothing to do with him, but somehow it involved him again.

It's definitely not a good thing to go, if you don't go, Mr. Xia will have opinions on him, and maybe you will trouble him later, but Mr. Xia doesn't like him in the first place, and it doesn't matter if you hate him a little bit.

So Xia Chen pretended not to receive that call, but not long after, his grandfather called again, and the old man asked him to come over.

This time I can't go anymore, Xia Chen's parents are unreliable, and no one will care about Xia Chen when there is trouble. Anyway, the two old people stretched out their hands and took Xia Chen by turns for a while, but it was only up to him. When I was in primary school, I went to boarding school.

Now that Xia Chen has so much money in his hand, it is thanks to his grandfather's words, otherwise, with his stepmother's greedy way of wanting him to leave the house, Xia Chen must not be living so comfortably now.

So no matter how reluctant, the old man still has to give him face.

After thinking about it, he called his half-sister He Tong to find out what was going on there.

He Tong is five years younger than Xia Chen. He is a sophomore in high school. Today happens to be the weekend. The little girl joins in the fun and sees it from beginning to end.

Hearing Xia Chen's question, He Tong twittered and poured out what he heard and saw: "Brother, let me tell you, there are really ghosts in this world! I won't lie to you, cousin Wenyan saw it with his own eyes. Grandpa invited a Taoist priest to come to our house to catch ghosts, and then my cousin stole the ghost caught by the Taoist priest and showed it to others, and they all ran into ghosts!"

Xia Chen: ""

He used to only know that his second cousin loves to play, but he didn't expect that he would even dare to play with ghosts.

Xia Chen: "And then?"

He Tong: "Then Cousin Wenyan was bullied by ghosts every night. Grandpa punished him severely, but he couldn't leave him alone, so he invited that Taoist priest again. The Taoist priest didn't want to come, he said Cousin Wenyan was broken Rules, this is retribution, but I don’t know why I agreed to it later, but he couldn’t beat the ghost haunting Cousin Wenyan, so he hired a helper to catch the ghost.”

"So why did my grandpa ask me to go?" Xia Chen asked.

"I told you to intercede." He Tong said: "Your father and your stepmother brought Xia Qi to the old house, saying that Xia Qi's collision with a ghost was caused by cousin Wen Yan, and he was responsible. My aunt quarreled with them, and they The words are ugly, my aunt was so angry, she said that there are no ghosts in this world, Xia Qi is mentally ill, and you want to send him to a mental hospital, so your stepmother and aunt got into a fight."

Xia Chen: "" It sounds a little refreshing.

He Tong continued: "Actually, the stepmother said that on purpose. When the Taoist priest and the helpers he invited were catching ghosts, my grandfather, several uncles, aunts, and my parents were all present. I heard that they all saw it. At school, I didn't see anything."

Speaking of this, Xia Chen basically understood that it was his father and stepmother who wanted to solve the problem of Xia Qi's bumping into a ghost, but they came to ask for help and didn't talk well, which annoyed the Cheng family and refused to admit it.

Originally, there was no way to get a serious statement about such a thing as hitting a ghost. If the Cheng family killed him and refused to admit it, Xia Chen's father and stepmother would wither.

But Xia Qi is the grandson of the Xia family after all, Mr. Xia can't just let him be crippled, and who knows if this ghost grinds Xia Qi to death, will it pester other members of the Xia family?

So the old man can only come forward by himself, I don't know if it's because the stepmother offended the Cheng family so much - they hit their door, it's useless for the old man to come forward in person.

Calling Xia Chen over is nothing more than talking about some past relationships. Before Xia Chen's parents divorced, Xia Cheng's family had a good time. Now, to soften the Cheng family's attitude, let Xia Chen, who is usually not on both sides, have a good time. The poor little one was called over.

After figuring out the reason, Xia Chen was ready to set off: "Tongtong, listen to me, if you have any news, let me know in time, and I'll go there now."

"Okay, make sure to complete the task."

Before leaving, Xia Chen hesitated, and took the little prince with him. Although he hadn't seen the ghost haunting Xia Qi yet, he was prepared for any danger. A ghost of the bone-shattering level shouldn't be able to deal with him.

On the way, He Tong sent a message to Xia Chen, saying that Mr. Cheng invited the Taoist priest who catches ghosts, and he is quite good-looking.

Speaking of Taoist priests, Xia Chen thought of his friend Xu Helai, as well as Xu Laodao, those people in the Taoist Academy, and felt sad for a moment, because those people would never be seen again.

When he came back to his senses, Xia Chen had a whim and asked the little prince, "Do you have a talisman?"

He likes to save supplies, but he is very loose with his friends, and he often gives things away. He doesn't remember if he has ever given the little prince amulet.

The little prince rummaged through the space silently, then nodded: "There are a few, not many."

Xia Chen glanced at the driver, and didn't ask him to take it out, as long as there is one, Xu Helai is so powerful, maybe his talisman will also be effective against the ghosts in this world.

Thinking of this, Xia Chen was once again heartbroken that the supplies he had saved for half his life were gone!

Xia Chen had forgotten how to drive a long time ago, and he didn't have time to practice during this time, so he still called a taxi, and the car was parked outside the gate of Cheng's old house. After getting off, Xia Chen secretly asked the little prince to take out all the talismans.

After being welcomed in by the servants of the Cheng family, Xia Chen found strangely that the atmosphere in the room was not as tense as he had imagined. Although they were sitting on two sides, they were both in good spirits. His father and stepmother were facing each other. The young Taoist priest with a Taoist robe tied in a bun said good things.

Xia Chen was very familiar with this attire, he couldn't help turning his eyes to the little Taoist priest, and he was indeed a handsome young man as He Tong said.

"Xia Chen! Your younger brother has become like this. I asked you to come over and take a look, but you ignored him. Why are you so cruel?"

Probably because of the habit of finding faults, as soon as Xia Chen came in, the stepmother, who was still talking nicely to the little Taoist priest, immediately turned her gun on Xia Chen, and threw a "cruel" cauldron over Xia Chen's head without saying a word. .

In the life after crossing, Xia Chen had a very good life, so he couldn't recall the Buddhist mentality he had experienced for a long time, and instantly exploded: "What's wrong with Xia Qi? It's amazing my brother, you black Eye circles, is it new makeup? I’m not in good spirits. Is it because I’m sick? If I’m sick, go to the hospital. What does it matter to me? Could it be that the Xia family went bankrupt? If you said it earlier, if you said it was short of money for medical treatment, I would definitely not ignore it."

"You rebellious son! You..." Mr. Xia jumped up against the table, ready to take care of his wife and children.

"Shut up!" Mr. Xia yelled, and Mr. Xia sat back resentfully. The three members of the family looked at Xia Chen with unkind eyes.

Xia Chen shrugged his shoulders and didn't pay attention, but the little prince glared at them fiercely. As soon as Xia Chen gave an order, he rushed over to bite them to death.

"Where is the wild child?" The stepmother curled her mouth, Xia Chen cast a sharp look over her, and her words froze.

Mr. Xia, who was about to scold his daughter-in-law, was also taken aback for a moment, and looked at Xia Chen with a look of scrutiny. The look just now was very powerful, the aura that only those who have been in high positions for a long time, his grandson, it is not nice to say it Yes, that was not aggressive at all, why did he suddenly have such momentum?

The lawsuit here is not over yet, but little Taoist priest Su Ming suddenly interjected, "Your name is Xia Chen?"

He stared at Xia Chen's delicate and handsome face non-stop, feeling excited and unbelievable, how could it be such a coincidence that he directly bumped into a good-looking person named Xia Chen, he hadn't Officially started to find someone for the boss.

But even though he thought it was too coincidental, Su Ming was still unwilling to give up this opportunity, and asked excitedly, "Which word is it?"

Xia Chen was puzzled, and he looked at Su Ming again to confirm that he had never seen this Taoist priest.

Mrs. Xia was impatient to answer Su Ming's question for Xia Chen, and then flattered her: "Master, do you know Xia Chen? Then you have to help our Qiqi, he is Xia Chen's younger brother!" "

Su Ming's expression was weird, and he was not a fool. From what happened just now, how could he not see that Xia Chen had no good relationship with them at all. This woman scolded her just now, but now she can just pretend to be shy. Xia Chen's face is really thick-skinned.

"I don't know Xia Chen." Su Ming said, "As I said, I don't know enough to catch this ghost. Otherwise, you just wait. After I report it, there will naturally be fellow Taoists with profound magic power to deal with it."

Mrs. Xia was in a hurry: "Wouldn't we, Qiqi, still have to suffer? But wasn't the ghost on Cheng Wenyan caught? Why can't we do it? Do you think the money is low? We can add more!"

Su Ming's face changed. He was young and energetic, and he couldn't hold back his anger. He said in a bad tone, "If you give me all your wealth, if you can't catch it, you won't be able to catch it. Whoever asks your son to kill himself will provoke ghosts."

"you"

Mrs. Xia pointed at Su Ming and wanted to scold, but Mr. Cheng snorted coldly: "The Xia family is so majestic, come to my Cheng's house to insult the guests I invited, if the stay is not satisfactory, it is better to leave early."

The two consecutive encounters with ghosts made them more aware of the importance of getting to know someone from the Taoist sect. Looking at the Xia family, what is the use of having so much money? When encountering such a thing, they even have to bow their heads to their old enemies.

Mr. Xia hit Mr. Xia with a cane, and scolded: "You can't even control your wife, what are you doing!"

This is because he dislikes his daughter-in-law who can't speak, and he is a father-in-law, and he can't directly beat his daughter-in-law, he can only beat his own son.

Mr. Xia was severely beaten by this stick, and what made him even more embarrassing was that at his age, he was beaten by his father in front of his ex-wife's family and his own son, and his face was completely humiliated.

His fairly fair face suddenly turned red, and he stood up blushing, and slapped the wife who caused the trouble to the side.

After the father-in-law had spoken, Mrs. Xia gritted her teeth and endured the slap no matter how angry she was, and was ordered to apologize to Su Ming again, almost crying.

Xia Chen watched it very readily, and had a good impression of this little Taoist priest he didn't know for a while.

Master Xia came forward and said a few good words. After all, the root of this matter is Cheng Wenyan. sentence.

Su Ming was young and energetic, and his face was not so thick. After being begged for a long time by the two old men, he finally let go, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "It's not that I don't want to help, Mr. Cheng, you also saw it last time. My skill is really not enough, if it wasn't for the boss to make a move, I would have broken there too."

Old Master Cheng said: "Then ask that gentleman to do it again? Of course, the reward will definitely be indispensable. Master Su Ming, please take care."

Su Ming shook his head and said, "No, the boss doesn't want to come. I asked before you asked me to come. If the boss has something to do, I just refused."

He also told Mr. Cheng at the time, but Mr. Cheng was afraid that the ghost haunting Xia Qi would harm their Cheng family, so even if he said he couldn't take it in alone, he would spend a lot of money to invite him to go.

"Can you ask us again? Or if the gentleman needs help, my Xia family can still get along in this sea market."

After Master Xia finished speaking, he called Xia Chen over and said, "The Taoist priest and my grandson seem to have some fate, just for his sake, please say something nice for us."

It's been a long time since Mr. Xia bowed his head down like this, but what happened recently made him feel awed. He had wiped his tears and witnessed that ghost torturing his grandson with his own eyes.

As people approach old age, their courage becomes less and less. He is not afraid of death. Anyway, at his age, he has enjoyed all the blessings he should enjoy. What he is afraid of is that if he dies, he will become a lonely ghost , was bullied by other ghosts, or suffered other crimes.

So this time he took the initiative to come forward, even at the expense of bowing to his old enemy, making an idea with Mr. Cheng, no matter what, he had to get acquainted with a capable Taoist.

He had already investigated before coming here. It is said that this Daoist Su Ming came from a famous sect, and he is very capable. Before the Cheng family was haunted, he easily solved it.

Based on his background, he has great respect for the other person, so it can be seen that that gentleman is even more powerful. Mr. Xia thought, this kind of capable person has his own ability, so he is proud of himself, money can't usually move them, and they won't ask for help work.

But it’s not only when you help others that you have the opportunity to make friends. They take the initiative to come to the door, ask the husband to help them, and then give them a generous reward. Sir, if you want to ask for more, at least you can save face.

Mr. Xia is old-fashioned and thoughtful, so Su Ming didn't know what he was up to. He thought he was just worried about his grandson. Looking at Xia Chen again, he hesitated: "Then I'll try to make another call, but the big brother won't let me go." If you come, you may not be willing to make a move."

Mr. Xia hurriedly said: "It's okay, as long as the husband is willing to come, we will be very grateful. I will personally talk about the future."

"Okay." Su Ming didn't avoid it either, and directly dialed the phone in front of them. He didn't know what was said there, and Su Ming said, "No, no, I didn't ask you to catch ghosts. I'll see you at Cheng's house." I saw a boy named Xia Chen, who looks pretty good."

Everyone at the scene turned their gazes to Xia Chen, but Xia Chen himself was in a daze, why did he get involved again?

At this moment, Su Ming has already started reporting his address. After the report, he handed the phone to Xia Chen and said, "Boss wants to talk to you."

Xia Chen took the phone hesitantly, and a familiar voice came from the receiver: "Yuanbao?"

Xia Chen's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't contain his excitement: "Zi Jian? Is it really you? Where are you? I'll find you!"

Although I haven't figured out what's going on, other people present already know that Xia Chen actually knows the expert Su Ming mentioned, and it seems that they have a good relationship.

As soon as he said he was going to leave, Xia's family became anxious. If he left, wouldn't that expert come?

Mr. Xia still wanted to use his father's status to suppress him. Mr. Xia told him to shut up in advance this time. It was rare for him to talk to Xia Chen in a pleasant manner, saying that he wanted to meet his friend.

The Cheng family also persuaded, if the expert really has friendship with Xia Chen, then they are also Xia Chen's natal family.

Xia Chen didn't hang up the phone, and he was reluctant to hang up. Hearing what his grandfather said, he retorted calmly: "It's not a friend, it's my lover."

Everyone: ""

Mr. Xia's words "shameless" had already come to his lips, and he forcibly held back under Xia Chen's calm gaze. The phone hadn't hung up yet, he was Xia Chen's biological father, and it was fine to train his son. The man heard it, what can his youngest son do?

The others didn't have much expression, even if they were scornful in their hearts, but now they have something to ask for, and no one wants to offend Wen Shu, so naturally they won't say anything bad.

Moreover, they didn't have a deep relationship with Xia Chen. Whether he likes men or not doesn't affect them much.

Su Ming was full of surprise, the boss actually likes men, so this is the boss's man?

"Hello, sister-in-law. My name is Su Ming. I am a Taoist priest of Xuanqing Temple. You have saved me twice. If you have anything to do in the future, just give me an order, and I will say nothing."

Xia Chen: "Don't call me sister-in-law."

Su Ming: "Then sister-in-law?"

Xia Chen: ""

Hearing the laughter coming from the phone, Xia Chen exploded: "Wen Shu, take care of your friend, if you can't talk, don't talk!"

"Okay, don't be angry, I'll teach him a lesson for you."

Wen Shu coaxed him nicely, but Su Ming was so frightened that his neck shrank. The wind beside the pillow was too strong. How can a man as fierce as the boss still coax people? !

"Da, Master Xia, I was wrong, please let me go!"

Su Ming begged repeatedly, but Xia Chen didn't think about what to do with him, seeing that he took it seriously, he said, "Don't be afraid, he was just joking."

Su Ming curled his lips, are you kidding me?He had seen the big brother tearing up the ghost with his hands, but he didn't dare to take the big brother's words as a joke.

In the end, Wen Shu really agreed, "Yes, I was joking."

Su Ming: ""

This is too lacking in position, the glorious image of the boss seems to have collapsed.

Xia Chen and Wen Shu chatted on the phone without saying a word, because there were other people around, some things were not easy to say, but Wen Shu arrived soon.
