HBWnovel Chapter 575 Uncle Cha
Chapter 575 Uncle Cha
After opening the coffin and performing an autopsy, we determined the cause of Old Master Xia's death. To avoid being seen, we covered the coffin and filled it back in as quickly as possible. Brother Yu was still doing the finishing work over there, and I had already called the foreman to tell him the big news.
"Boss, this is the situation. Old Master Xia didn't die of a heart attack, but was murdered. I suspect it was Xia Shuishui's father who did it."
"Yunfeng, what is the reason for your suspicion?"
"There are two reasons. Only after the old man dies can Xia Shuishui's father truly take over the Xia family. This is a direct benefit. Another thing may have also driven him to take action, and that is his wife, Xia Shuishui's mother."
"Boss, think about it. Imagine that he loved Xia Shuishui's mother deeply back then, and because of the Feng Shui life-borrowing incident, his wife was indirectly killed by his father. He didn't dare to express it on the surface, but in fact he always buried this hatred in the deepest part of his heart."
The more I spoke, the more excited I became.
"A few months ago, Uncle Cha and I accidentally discovered the secret of the Xia family's basement, which gave him the opportunity to attack. Looking back now, it's no wonder that Uncle Cha would rather leave without saying goodbye than take the money."
"Yunfeng....Are you saying that Mr. Cha was involved in this matter behind the scenes?"
I nodded. "That's probably the case. I didn't expect Uncle Cha to be so secretive. He's been playing a trick of being indifferent to fame and fortune and escaping in front of me. I don't know how much money he's secretly received from Xia Shuishui's father."
The headmaster said, "I dare not jump to conclusions. In my opinion, Mr. Cha is a true master. If he wanted to make money, he wouldn't do it so covertly."
"He's a master indeed! But you don't know! He's very poor! He's short of money! He even cheated me out of 400,000!"
"When did it happen?"
"That happened almost two years ago! Hang up first! I'll call him and get to know him."
At this time, Brother Yu came towards me carrying two steel shovels. I pointed to the grave mound and said that it had not been leveled yet. Brother Yu took a look and went to level the grave again.
I dialed Uncle Cha’s cell phone number and thought to myself, please pick up the phone quickly.
At this moment, I was furious.
I don't envy him no matter how much money he makes behind the scenes, but I am angry that he uses me as a pawn!
When have I ever been used as a pawn? I can't swallow this, I have to get to the bottom of it.
The phone rang for half a minute before the other end picked up.
"Hey...what are you doing? Calling me at three in the morning, not letting me sleep."
"Uncle Cha, I know everything."
"You know what."
"I know everything about the Xia family and the cause of Old Master Xia's death."
Uncle Cha was silent for more than ten seconds on the phone, then said, "Boy, that matter is over a long time ago, why are you still investigating it?"
"Because we encountered something else that might be related to the Xia family. I am standing on Old Master Xia's grave now. I just opened the coffin."
"You kid! Why do you always do such wicked things as digging up people's ancestral graves?"
"That's right! I did it! But I dare say! I'm not like you! On the surface, you pretend to be indifferent to money and fame! But behind the scenes, you conspired with Xia Shuishui's father and used me as a pawn!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever conspire with anyone else?"
I shouted, "Stop pretending, Uncle Cha! I told you I know everything! You knew two days in advance that Old Master Xia was going to die! You even prepared a memorial tablet for him!"
"I know that because I calculated it!"
Uncle Cha on the other end of the line seemed a bit angry. He scolded me, "I conspired with someone and took money? I wouldn't take your money! That money is tainted with too many karmas! Even if you put it in front of me, I wouldn't even lower my head to look at it!"
"You're just talking big words! Then why did you cheat me out of four hundred thousand?"
"Me! When the hell did I cheat you out of 400,000 yuan?! I didn't say a word! You insisted on giving it to me! How can that be considered cheating?"
"Whatever you want to think! Anyway, I'm telling you, kid, I need money. Money can make my living conditions better, but I'm not greedy for money! I can't keep too much money because I have five disadvantages and three shortcomings, and the word "poor" is on my list. It's like holding water in a cracked water tank. I can't keep it. This is my fate in this life."
"I left without saying goodbye and didn't take the money because I had my fortune told me to do so! I also predicted that the old man would die a violent death."
I frowned and asked, "Since you calculated it, then when you told me that Old Master Xia had done something immoral and suffered backlash from Feng Shui, weren't you lying?"
"You kid! You're such a fool!"
"Why haven't you reacted yet? I wasn't lying to you when I said that! I was saving you! And I was saving myself at the same time! If I tell this to their faces, will I still be able to return to Nanping alive?"
"We fortune tellers only give five out of ten predictions! We can never be completely certain! Behind the Xia family... no, I should say that place called Qiandao Lake, there must be a very powerful Feng Shui master. Didn't you tell me before that you went to a place and saw the Dragon Shackle and the Dragon Eight Evils Feng Shui Formation?"
I nodded.
Uncle Cha said in a serious tone, "This further confirms my thoughts. Qiandao Lake is a dangerous place. You should leave quickly and hide far away like I did. Only in this way can you avoid disaster and seek refuge."
"And yet you dug up the old man's grave and claimed to have known the truth. You know nothing! Do you think you're so awesome now?"
"No, Uncle Cha, you misunderstood me. You are two years older than me. In my heart, you are like a father. I have never doubted your character. I just said those words to test you."
“XXXX!”
"Don't curse Uncle Cha, my mother died a long time ago. If you want to find her, you have to go downstairs."
"Hold on! I have two last questions!"
"First, who killed the old man? Was it Xia Shuishui's father who did it?"
"do not know!"
"You don't know or you don't dare to say it? Can't you calculate it?"
"Boy, if everything could be calculated remotely, then there wouldn't be so many unsolved murders in this world. If you want to know, go and investigate yourself, provided you have the life to do so."
"Okay, second question. You just mentioned a Feng Shui master in Qiandao Lake. Isn't that Old Zhou from before?"
"No, that half-baked Mr. Zhou! He's not even fit to carry this guy's shoes!"
"Uncle Cha, there's something you don't know. Recently, I discovered a solitary grave on East Mountain. The name of the person on the tombstone is Bu Ke Liu. Is this the Feng Shui master you suspect?"
On the phone, Uncle Cha sounded surprised: "No more than six? No more than five fellow disciples? This person's grave is in Qiandao Lake? Are you sure?"
"It's absolutely true. The location of the grave is very secret. If I hadn't stumbled upon it by accident, I wouldn't have discovered it. And it looks like someone comes to clean the grave frequently."
"I see... If it's someone who doesn't pass the May Day exam... then it's possible."
"Uncle Cha, you ran away before. Were you afraid of the other party?"
"Afraid? I'm not the same kind of person as them. They serve the rich, and I'm just a commoner making a living on the streets."
"Okay, I admit that I ran away because I was scared. Am I wrong?"
"I'm right, kid. Regardless of who they are, I've never met them before. We shouldn't interfere with each other's feng shui. Why would I mess with their feng shui? There's a saying that applies to all walks of life, including ours: cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. You don't need to provoke me, and don't try to convince me. I'll check my household registration and I'll never set foot in Qiandao Lake again in my lifetime. All I can give you now is a reminder and advice, nothing more. I've already paid back the 400,000 yuan favor you owed me two years ago, so don't try to blackmail me morally."
I hesitated, holding up my phone and helplessly said, "Uncle Cha, I have my own difficulties that I can't tell you. I don't want to offend anyone, but the problem is that we have moved something and may have offended someone."
"Hahahaha! Who can I blame?"
"Uncle Cha, how can you laugh? We are in a dangerous situation now. We must find a way to find out the other party's identity so as to save ourselves. Even the leader is worried about this matter."
"You little brat, I've told you eight hundred times, but you won't listen. I told you that some money can't be taken. It's too dangerous and will bring karma."
“We didn’t take anyone’s money!”
"You didn't take it? Ownerless property is also considered money. Do you dare to say you didn't take it?"
My face turned pale and I didn't have the courage to reply.
"Why aren't you talking? Are you scared?"
On the other end of the phone, Uncle Cha sighed and said, "I ran fast and didn't get involved, but you and your accomplices are already deeply trapped in the vortex of cause and effect."
After Brother Yu finished leveling the grave, he'd been listening to me on the phone for a while. I glanced at him, held up the phone, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm not afraid, because everything has a head. Maybe a fortune teller like you, Uncle Cha, calls it cause and effect, but in the head's eyes, it's a game. As long as it's a game, the head has never lost."
"Okay, then I'll just watch you guys break through."
"Uncle Cha! I've said so much! You can't just stand by and watch!"
"Not only do I know you're in Nanping, I also know the address of your new house! If you don't care, I'll come find you tomorrow!"
"Hahaha, kid, I knew you'd say that one day! That's why I'm not in Nanping right now. You can't find the house at all! I've already run away with the money! Also, after this call, I won't be using this phone number anymore."
"Uncle Cha!!"
"Haha, what? You're allowed to accuse me for no reason, but you won't allow me to check my household registration and run away?"
"That's it, bye kid. To be honest, I hope your master can break the impasse, and I also hope you have good luck. We'll meet again if we're lucky."
The next second, the call was hung up.
I called immediately, but was told the phone was turned off.
I took a few deep breaths and was so angry that I threw my phone on the spot.
