Chapter 244: Chapter 244 What Is This? Mass Exorcism?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
There was a bald monk, a Daoist Priest, a muscular man in a tight singlet, and a middle-aged woman in colorful clothes.
Many bells were tied to her waist, a drum was in her left hand, and a small leather whip was in her right hand.
“Why are there so many people heading to the Qiao family? Could it be that they have sent out more invitations?”
Zhou Kexin was puzzled.
“Obviously.”
Chen Yu said it with a faint smile.
“It’s really not easy to get money from capitalists.”
Zhou Kexin grumbled.
Judging from their attire, they should all be people from the mystic sect.
She had only heard of hiring a large number of doctors for treatment and had never heard of hiring a large number of exorcists.
What was this? A mass wave of exorcism?
These people were dressed strangely, like lunatics who had escaped from a mental hospital.
Zhou Kexin ridiculed crazily and pointed at a Daoist Priest in a Daoist robe at the door.
“It’s said that monks are fat and Daoist Priests are thin. This old Daoist Priest is too fat. He’s at least 200 pounds.”
“The Daoist robe on his body is about to explode. It doesn’t fit him at all.”
“Is it really good for a monk to wear a big gold chain around his neck?”
“A Daoist robe and a big gold chain—could they have been bought online?”
“That person is wearing sunglasses at night. Is he blind? Is he here to exorcise evil spirits or to collect protection fees?”
“Oh my god, that auntie must be 70 years old. Why is she still wearing a spaghetti strap short skirt…”
Zhou Kexin felt like her eyes were burning.
Were these people here to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits, or were they here to hold a cross-dressing party?
Monks didn’t look like monks, and Daoist Priests didn’t look like Daoist Priests.
Everyone was dressed as differently as they could.
It was a mental hospital in the making.
“Stop talking. Go in.”
A few minutes before 8 p.m., Chen Yu patted Zhou Kexin’s shoulder.
If Zhou Kexin continued to ridicule them, Chen Yu would probably burst out laughing.
The security guards at the mansion checked everyone’s invitation cards one by one.
The security guard didn’t ask about Chen Yu bringing an extra person with him and just politely invited the two of them in.
Everyone walked from the entrance of the mansion to the living room.
The living room took up a vast area and was decorated magnificently, just like the lobby of a five-star hotel.
“As expected of the richest man in Hangzhou City, the living room is decorated so luxuriously.”
“I’m sure that only the Qiao family has the courage to take out 50 million yuan to ask someone to exorcise evil.”
“50 million is mine. No one can snatch it from me!”
“You’re just a country bumpkin. How dare you snatch business from me? You don’t know what’s good for you!”
The middle-aged man in a short jacket and shorts glared at the man in sunglasses, whom Zhou Kexin had called blind.
“What are you looking at?” The man in sunglasses demanded with a strong accent.
“Looking at you.”
“Try looking some more.”
Zhou Kexin rolled her eyes when she saw the two of them bickering.
“Dr. Chen, I have a feeling that these guys are a bunch of incompetent people.
They don’t have the demeanor of an expert at all.”
“You’re right. These people are all charlatans.”
“No wonder they all look like lunatics.”
Zhou Kexin could not help but feel puzzled.
The Qiao family was not an ordinary family. They had invited so many people to exorcise evil spirits. Did they not think of doing an identity check?
The gangster-looking dude and the country bumpkin exchanged ‘greetings’ with each other, spitting hot bars.
The others were in a similar state.
“Charlatans…”
Zhou Kexin rubbed her chin with her hand and revealed a sly smile.
“What?” Chen Yu glanced at Zhou Kexin and smiled faintly. “You want to report all of them?”
“Hehehe.”
“Since these people are all incompetent charlatans, it’s better to send them in for reform than to let them continue to scam people,” Zhou Kexin said with a smile.
During her time in Hangzhou, Zhou Kexin learned a lot about the local customs and various major events.
The relevant departments in Hangzhou City were active in cracking down on swindlers.
There are rewards for reporting.
She would probably get a lot of money if she reported hundreds of scammers at once.
On the one hand, she could earn some extra money; on the other hand, she could kick out all her competitors.
It was the best of both worlds. She was really a clever little girl.
“Dr. Chen, I’ll call the relevant departments now and arrest them all.”
“This way, we’ll be the only ones left here. The 50 million yuan prize money will also be ours.”
Chen Yu’s eyes rolled when he heard this.
He didn’t expect Zhou Kexin to have such a black-bellied side, using the excuse of spreading feudal superstition to wipe out all her competitors.
“Dr. Chen, do you agree or not? If you agree, I’ll go out and make a call now.” Chen Yu shook his head.
“Why?” Zhou Kexin was puzzled.
“What if this bunch of charlatans were to strike gold and somehow manage to chase away the unclean thing on Miss Qiao? The 50 million yuan will fall into their hands.”
“They don’t have the chance.”
Chen Yu looked around with a profound expression.
“Also, once we report them, nothing interesting will happen.”
“Something interesting? What is it?”
Zhou Kexin asked.
“Heaven’s secrets cannot be revealed.”
Chen Yu remained silent and gestured for Zhou Kexin to do the same.
When it was 8 p.m., an old man dressed as a butler walked out of a small door in the living room.
“Everyone, please be quiet. My master and madam will come out to meet you soon.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the noise stopped.
Even the gangster-looking dude and the country bumpkin just silently glared at each other and turned their heads to the side like children.
A few minutes later, an old man with a walking stick walked out of another door with the help of a slim young woman.
The old man was none other than the third richest man in Hangzhou City, Qiao Baishun.
The woman was Yao Lin, and she was Qiao Baishun’s second wife.
Before everyone was invited, they had done some research on the Qiao family.
They knew that Qiao Baishun was not only a local tycoon but also a big shot.
They immediately greeted him.
Qiao Baishun greeted everyone with a smile.
“Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to help my family.”
“Thank you, everyone.”
After saying that, Qiao Baishun handed his walking stick to Yao Lin and cupped his hands in a fist salute.
“Master Qiao is too polite. You invited us over because you know our skills.”
“Don’t worry, we’ll definitely chase away the ominous thing on Miss Qiao’s body.”
“Mr. Qiao, is the 50 million you mentioned cash or a check?”
“This poor priest has been studying for decades and has seen hundreds of demons and ghosts. A mere little ghost is easy to deal with.”
Everyone bragged about their abilities, wanting to overtake the others and get this job.
“Everyone, don’t be anxious. Listen to me slowly.”
Qiao Baishun interrupted everyone’s clamor and gave the butler a look.
The butler took out a bank card from his pocket..
