Soon, Long Xiao and the others' cars arrived at the parking lot near the headquarters of the Lin Group.
As soon as Long Xiao got out of the car, he observed the building and the surrounding terrain, but found no major issues.
The five of them took the elevator to the Lin Group headquarters. Lin Xuan led them to see department by department.
After touring over a dozen departments, Long Xiao still found nothing wrong.
"Lin Xuan, if you're having trouble recently, just tell me, and I'll solve it. This feng shui stuff is useless."
Lin Xuan sighed and said, "It's not any major trouble, just that there are too many things happening, and they are all unexpected."
Too many unexpected things happening strongly suggests a feng shui problem.
Feng shui is divided into the feng shui of a dwelling and the feng shui of a tomb. Generally, larger companies will hire feng shui masters to arrange things before they move in or open for business, so the possibility of problems is not high.
"Looking at these is useless. Has your office location changed?"
Lin Xuan nodded. Long Xiao said, "Let's go and see your office first."
As soon as Long Xiao followed Lin Xuan into her office, he felt a chill.
Scanning the entire office, Long Xiao found that the layout was basically the same as before. However, directly facing the desk, there was a root carving.
It was a large cypress root carving of Guan Yu, holding a Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his left hand and a book in his right.
The chill emanated from this root carving. Long Xiao walked up to it and observed carefully, finding that the cold air was entirely coming from Guan Yu's Green Dragon Crescent Blade.
"This root carving has a problem. Someone has tampered with this Green Dragon Crescent Blade," Long Xiao said, pointing to the carving.
This root carving was not here when Lin Xuan was dismissed. When she returned to this office as president, she found this root carving.
Like Lin Shiren and Lin Shijie, Lin Xin also liked to collect antiques and artworks, always thinking of making a fortune.
It was not surprising that he would place a root carving in his office after becoming the president of the Lin Group.
"Lin Xin also likes art. It shouldn't be a problem for him to put a root carving in his office," Lin Xuan said.
Long Xiao asked Lin Xuan to call her secretary in. After Shao Yu, Lin Xuan's secretary, came in, Long Xiao asked, "Shao Yu, tell me, when did this root carving appear?"
Shao Yu replied without hesitation, "This root carving was bought from Antique Street the day before Mr. Lin took office."
"Do you know which shop it was bought from?" Long Xiao asked.
Shao Yu nodded and said, "Yes, it was bought from Jubao Pavilion. The manager of Jubao Pavilion personally delivered it with his staff."
After Long Xiao dismissed Shao Yu, he closed the door and took down the Green Dragon Crescent Blade from Guan Yu's hand.
The root carving was new, but the Green Dragon Crescent Blade was old, giving one a sense of the passage of time.
Long Xiao went to the window and placed the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in the sunlight. Soon, he saw dots of blackish-brown on the blade.
He brought the blade to his nose and confirmed that these blackish-brown specks were bloodstains, and human blood.
This sword had killed people, and it carried a heavy aura of killing and malevolence. Placing it in the office would greatly affect Lin Xuan.
In a short period, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade would affect the fortune of the Lin Group. Over time, it would have a significant impact on Lin Xuan's health, bringing her continuous bad luck.
"There are bloodstains on the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. The blood evil is too strong, and it's not suitable to be placed in the office."
The placement of the root carving here was clearly a scheme by Lin Xin.
The Lin Xin that Long Xiao knew was a good-for-nothing playboy, only interested in antiques, drinking, and women, rarely doing anything productive.
He was incapable of such means to plot against Lin Xuan with feng shui. Someone must have been directing him from behind.
They all went out to have lunch. After Long Xiao sent off Lu Ying and the other two, he returned to the Lin Group headquarters with Lin Xuan.
In the afternoon, after the workers arrived, the root carving was quickly moved out of Lin Xuan's office and placed in the corridor, as directed by Long Xiao.
The Green Dragon Crescent Blade was old, possessing not only malevolent energy but also a hint of the aura of war and metal. As Long Xiao watched the workers, he absorbed the metal energy from the blade into his dantian.
With the support of the metal energy gone, the malevolent energy was expelled by Long Xiao from the Green Dragon Crescent Blade and dissipated into the air.
When the workers finished, Long Xiao placed the Green Dragon Crescent Blade back in its original position.
"Long Xiao, is it okay to place the root carving here?" Lin Xuan asked doubtfully.
Long Xiao nodded and said, "It's fine. From today onwards, the Lin Group will gradually return to normal."
Two nights later, as Long Xiao was about to study the "Dragon's Collection," Lin Xuan pushed open the door and walked in.
"Long Xiao, the Lin Group is completely back to normal!" Lin Xuan said happily.
Long Xiao stood up with a smile and said, "Wife, feng shui isn't pure trickery, is it?"
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "No, although feng shui is hard to understand, it is very mystical and peculiar."
Long Xiao chuckled and said, "This is the wisdom left by our ancestors. Even if we can't understand it now, it doesn't mean it's not scientific."
Lin Xuan nodded vigorously at Long Xiao's words. Long Xiao continued, "Doesn't modern science have the concept of quantum entanglement? The basis of feng shui is quantum mechanics."
Lin Xuan nodded again, agreeing with Long Xiao's statement. Long Xiao continued, "Wife, I helped the Lin Group a lot. Shouldn't you reward me?"
"How should I reward you? I don't have any money!" Lin Xuan said.
Long Xiao pointed to his own face without speaking. Lin Xuan stepped forward and lightly kissed him on the cheek before running out of Long Xiao's bedroom with a blush.
Long Xiao had just been joking, but he didn't expect Lin Xuan to actually kiss him.
A wave of happiness washed over Long Xiao, who stood there foolishly for tens of seconds.
The next three days were very peaceful. Long Xiao saw patients and dispensed medicine at Xinglin Caotang every day. His life was quiet, relaxed, and very comfortable.
One morning, just as Long Xiao arrived at Xinglin Caotang, a Toyota van stopped in front of it.
"Who is the person in charge of this clinic?" a young man in an expensive suit asked, walking into Xinglin Caotang while looking up at the sky.
Behind the young man followed five elders. These elders were all in sharp suits, clean-shaven, and looked refined, like civilized gentlemen.
Mi Tianfu, who was treating a patient, stood up, asked Long Xiao to take over, and then walked towards the young man.
"Hello, I am the owner of the clinic. Is there something you need?"
The young man snorted and said, "I'm here to inform you that tomorrow, the Donghai Medical Association will hold a meeting to discuss the development of Donghai's medical industry. You must attend."
In the past, Mi Tianfu's father was the president of the Donghai Medical Association and was very famous, but Mi Tianfu had never joined the Donghai Medical Association.
"I'm not a member of the Medical Association, why should I attend the meeting?" Mi Tianfu asked.
The young man looked at Mi Tianfu and said, "Although you are not a member of the Donghai Medical Association, you are a doctor in Donghai. Tomorrow's conference is related to everyone involved in the medical industry in Donghai, so you must attend."
"What do you mean I must attend? Your Medical Association is a private organization, it does not represent the government nor does it have enforcement power. Why are you forcing me to attend the meeting?"
"We are not forcing you, but if you do not attend the meeting, we will revoke your license to operate a clinic. This clinic of yours must be closed."
"On what grounds? What right do you have to prevent me from operating a clinic?" Mi Tianfu was very angry, and his voice rose.
"In the Donghai medical community, we are the heavens. If we decide a clinic should close, it must close."
Looking at the arrogant young man, Mi Tianfu was somewhat speechless. Arguing further with such a person would yield no results.
