Chapter 59: Physiognomist

After Wang Jiajun left the Fang family, he did not visit Di Tai. Instead, he went to the nursing home.

“Grandpa He, why are you alone today?”

In his younger days, Uncle He had taken part in recording Beichuan’s local history. He would be 90 years old in two years.

Compared to others, this was already considered a very long life.

However, older people all had common illnesses, such as deteriorated hearing, poor vision, inarticulate speech, etc.

Grandpa He didn’t hear Wang Jiajun’s question.

Wang Jiajun moved closer to his ear and repeated it loudly.

Grandpa He heard it clearly this time.

Grandpa He mumbled, “Those people went to cultivate.”

“What? Piano repair[1.The Chinese terms for ‘cultivate’ and ‘piano repair’ share the same first character, ‘xiu’]?” Wang Jiajun was confused. There was such a program in the nursing home?

Grandpa He continued, “I’m also going to cultivate tomorrow.”

His articulation was still very unclear.

Wang Jiajun smiled.

Although he didn’t know why they were going to repair pianos, he could tell from the smile on Uncle He’s face that he liked this program very much.

Wang Jiajun said, “Grandpa He, I need to talk to you.”

Grandpa He dug his ear and said, “What’s the matter?”

“I heard that you like to collect letters of challenge from the old dojos.”

“Yes! In the whole of Beichuan, no one’s collection is bigger than mine.” Grandpa He was very proud.

Wang Jiajun smiled. “Can you show me?”

“Sure! When do you want to see them?”

“Is today okay?”

“Sure. I’ve been carrying those letters with me. Come with me.”

Grandpa He led Wang Jiajun to his room.

When they reached the room, Grandpa He pointed to the bottom of the bed.

“I kept all those letters in a chest.”

Wang Jiajun walked to the bedside and pulled out a large wooden chest.

He opened it. Inside were thick stacks of letters of challenge.

Wang Jiajun picked up a stack and flipped through it carefully.

Seeing how serious he was, Grandpa He thought that he would take a long time, so he said, “Take your time. I’m going out for a walk.”

Wang Jiajun responded casually.

He flipped through the letters carefully.

Time slowly passed.

After some time, he found the Fang family’s letters to other dojos.

Grandpa He had specially put together the Fang family’s letters together.

Wang Jiajun picked up the stack and counted them. There were about a hundred of them.

With so many letters of challenge, they had probably challenged all the dojos in the entire Beichuan.

At this moment, his phone suddenly rang. It was a call from a colleague from the bureau.

“Zhong, what’s the matter?”

“Director, the technical department found something new.”

“What finding?”

“The technical department has recovered data from Fang Yuke’s computer and found that he had gone on the dark web before.”

“The dark web?” Wang Jiajun was shocked.

As public security personnel, he knew what the dark web was meant for.

“What did he do in there?” Wang Jiajun hurriedly asked.

“The technical department is currently cracking Fang Yuke’s dark web ID.”

“Good. Let me know as soon as you have any progress.”

“Understood!”

After hanging up, Wang Jiajun frowned in thought.

Gold Sea City.

Li Mansion, a black helicopter hovered in the sky.

The old man stood with his hands behind his back as he looked up at the sky, waiting for the helicopter to land.

The helicopter landed on the front lawn of the mansion.

Then, an old man with long hair walked out of the cabin. Behind him were five strong young men. freewebnove(l).com

The long-haired old man had disheveled hair. He wore a pair of round sunglasses and held a white cane in his hand.

“Mr. Fan!” Li Zhongyun greeted him with a smile. He stepped forward with cupped fists.

“Sorry to keep you waiting, Brother Zhongyun.” Fan Si returned the greeting.

The old man’s name was Li Zhongyun. His family’s influence was unimaginable. The Li Pharmaceutical Co. was merely the tip of the iceberg.

Li Zhongyun said with a smile, “It has been a long journey for you.

“I have prepared fine wine and delicacies to welcome you.”

Fan Si said, “We are all doing this for the family. This hard work is nothing.”

Then, Li Zhongyun led Fan Si into the mansion.

Li Zhongyun and Fan Si were alone in the huge dining hall.

Li Zhongyun poured some wine for Fan Si and said with a smile, “Mr Fan, has the patriarch’s injury gotten better?”

Fan Si said, “Someone from the Mu family came over two days ago.

“They prescribed some medicine for the patriarch. After he took it, his complexion looked better than before.”

Li Zhongyun asked in surprise: “All those people from the Mu Family are stingy. Why would they help us?”

Fan Si laughed and said, “Brother Zhongyun, you might not know, but we are now connected to the Mu family by marriage.”

Li Zhongyun was even more surprised and exclaimed, “I’ve only been away for a few days, and such a big thing has happened. Why didn’t anyone tell me?”

Fan Si smiled. “Aren’t I telling you now!”

Li Zhongyun asked, “Then who was it who had gotten married?”

“Li Shuirou.”

“Her?” Li Zhongyun wore a look of disbelief.

“Our family matters cannot be explained in a few words. Let’s drink.” Fan Si sighed and raised his glass.

“Alright, cheers.” Li Zhongyun immediately picked up his glass and drank the liquid all at once.

Fan Si laughed and also finished the wine in his glass.

Fan Si put down his wine cup and slowly said, “Brother Zhongyun, you didn’t invite me here just to drink, did you? If there’s anything you need, just tell me.”

Since he had said so, Li Zhongyun did not beat around the bush.

Li Zhongyun said: “Mr Fan, I think my descendants have been cursed.”

“Cursed?” Fan Si’s expression instantly darkened.

Li Zhongyun continued, “Mr Fan, you are a great physiognomist. You are skilled and world famous. Can you help me resolve this crisis?”

After a brief silence, Fan Si spoke, “Brother Zhongyun, you and I are considered old acquaintances. I can take action.

“But you also know that once we draw on the art of physiognomy, we will suffer the backlash of karma.

“Therefore, the price for this is quite high…”

Li Zhongyun understood what he meant and immediately said: “Mr Fan, I have specially gathered more than ten minor girls from overseas.”

With that, Li Zhongyun clapped his hands.

The door opened, and a dozen girls in bikinis entered.

These young ladies were blue-eyed blonds. They were tall, slender, and stunningly beautiful.

In an instant, Fan Si was surrounded by these blond girls.

“Mr Fan, please enjoy yourself. I won’t disturb you any further.”

Li Zhongyun stood up and left the dining hall.

Beichuan City, Public Security Bureau.

Wang Jiajun had rushed back after receiving a call from the technical department.

“How is it?” Wang Jiajun asked.

The head of the technical department replied, “Director Wang, we have deciphered Fang Yuke’s dark web ID, but to enter the dark web, we need to go through the face and iris verification.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Jiajun was troubled.

Fang Yuke had fallen from such a height. The strong impact caused his body to break into pieces.

One of his eyes was intact, but his face was gone.

It would probably be difficult to restore his face to its original state.

However, Wang Jiajun did not want to give up after finally finding a clue.

Hence, he immediately contacted the hospital and asked if there was a way to do a restoration.
