Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 311: Chapter 311 Heavenly Master 18

This strange situation piqued Shuangshuang’s interest a bit, and since the talisman was complete, she could continue going out to catch ghosts. Shuangshuang nodded, ”Let me pack up, and go take a look with you.”

After speaking, she tidied up the items like carving knives on the table, then picked up her crossbody bag, which held the talismans and various ghost-catching supplies Shuangshuang needed. Although the Qiankun Talisman also had talismans, Shuangshuang was used to not using the stock in the Qiankun Talisman unless she had talismans in hand.

The middle-aged man didn’t expect that this seemingly cold-faced little master, who looked difficult to get along with, would be so willing to go with him to take a look. He was prepared for the other party to make it difficult for him or demand a huge fee.

He previously encountered a Feng Shui Master with skills, and the price for their services was steep! They didn’t explicitly ask for money, just excused themselves as busy or unavailable, waiting for you to increase the offer. Only when you matched their satisfaction would they be available to help.

Shuangshuang initially saw this man was dressed simply and didn’t seem wealthy, only to find out when they went outside that he drove a luxury car! Although Shuangshuang didn’t know much about cars, she recognized this car’s logo, which was said to be expensive! At least seven to eight hundred thousand for a car to start! Some could go higher than millions!

Shuangshuang didn’t know how much the car was worth, so she casually glanced and got in. Her goal was to catch ghosts; whether the other party had money didn’t matter to her.

On the road, the man briefly introduced his family situation to Shuangshuang while driving.

The man’s name was Wang Wei, and he owned a gold shop in the bustling area of the city center. While not earning a fortune daily, making tens of millions annually was easy.

Wang Wei said he had a gentle nature, never arguing or quarreling with people, and had excellent relations. He did charity work every year, donating at least millions, some to sponsor out-of-school children and terminally ill patients, and some to animal rescue centers.

Shuangshuang glanced at Wang Wei’s head, and indeed, there was a faint golden glow of Merit above him. However, its color was too faint, so she hadn’t noticed before. It was only upon careful observation this time that she realized it genuinely existed.

It seemed the man wasn’t lying; he truly did good deeds. However, the amount of golden glow was too little and did not match the number of good deeds he claimed. Such a situation arises not because he donated too little or the money was misappropriated, but because a direct relative committed a sinful act, offsetting his golden glow of Merit.

According to Wang Wei, he got entangled with a ghost while rushing home one night after a gathering. Having drunk alcohol and unable to drive, and with the gathering place not far from home, Wang Wei opted to walk.

To return to his residential community, Wang Wei had to pass through an alley. The alley was usually bustling with people during the day and brightly lit even at night, with many people passing through.

Wang Wei saw the alley was well-lit and didn’t pay much attention, so he walked straight in. Then he was a little surprised to find out that there wasn’t a single person there! Only the bright streetlights and his shadow remained.

With a lot of people around before, he didn’t think much of it. Suddenly, being alone in this silent place, the entire world seemed to quieten down. He couldn’t hear the noise of the crowd outside, only his footsteps and shadow. Despite the streetlights illuminating the alley, Wang Wei inexplicably felt his hair standing on end! An uncontrollable fear arose!

The more he walked, the more afraid he got. Wang Wei couldn’t help but quicken his pace and started running, wanting to leave this terrifying alley as quickly as possible. Just at this moment, Wang Wei heard footsteps behind him! The sound seemed to be running after him!

Wang Wei was so terrified that his hair stood on end, and he sped up in fear, running wildly. Yet the footsteps behind him continued to follow closely, leading him to suspect he’d encountered something unclean!

Just when Wang Wei was scared half to death, an elderly female voice suddenly came from behind, ”Hey, young man in front, stop running. I’m very tired from walking, could you help me a little?”

Hearing someone speak, a sudden sense of relief washed over Wang Wei, and he turned around to see an old lady standing under the bright streetlight. She was dressed neatly, dragging a small cart full of vegetables.

The old lady had a kind and gentle appearance, with golden earrings and a large gold bracelet on her ears and wrists. Her clothes were also very proper, high-end items. This attire, different from other old ladies, clearly depicted her as wealthy.

However, whether the old lady was wealthy or not didn’t matter to Wang Wei. The sudden presence of a companion in this silent alley instead eased his heart, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief. At least he wasn’t alone now.

Seeing the old lady bent over as if exhausted, Wang Wei felt a moment’s sympathy. He quickly approached, saying, ”Ma’am, you look very tired. How about this, you sit on this cart, and I’ll pull you along. Where do you live? I’ll take you directly to your house!”

”Thank you, young man, you are so kind. I live just in the small community ahead, please excuse the trouble!” Wang Wei helped with the cart, and the old lady bent down to sit on it, conversing with Wang Wei.

Wang Wei pulled the old lady forward, chatting and smiling as they went, ”Ma’am, I also live in that community. What a coincidence...”

And so, the old and the young while chatting, quickly got the old lady downstairs. Because she had many things, which the old lady couldn’t carry alone, Wang Wei thought to do a good deed thoroughly and directly helped to bring the things into her room.

The old lady’s home was very grand; every piece of furniture was an expensive brand. Most striking among them was a golden Buddha the size of a newborn baby. With his years of dealing in gold, Wang Wei immediately recognized it was real pure gold and very costly!

Wang Wei thought this family had a bit of a nouveau riche air. He also had money but wasn’t this ostentatious! Didn’t they know wealth shouldn’t be flaunted! However, he couldn’t control others’ style. Having already escorted them home, Wang Wei decided to take his leave.

Just as Wang Wei was about to head out, the old lady suddenly clutched her chest and fell to the ground, apparently suffering from a heart condition! Startled, Wang Wei hurriedly went to help the old lady onto the sofa, asking if there was any medicine at home.

Struggling to breathe, the old lady weakly pointed to a drawer under the television cabinet. Wang Wei quickly went over, opened the drawer, and was immediately taken aback by rows of neatly stacked hundred-yuan bills!

Seeing this money, Wang Wei twitched his mouth twice, his first thought being that this household better not get robbed, or their losses would be huge! Of course, perhaps they didn’t care much about this amount of money. Thinking so, Wang Wei found the medicine and gave it to the old lady.
