The Fake Rich Daughter Knows a Bit of Metaphysics and Leads Her Whole Family to Become Wealthy - Chapter 29

Chapter 29: The Luxurious Villa

Just as Jiang Zhixu was about to push open the door and walk forward, the elevator doors opened. A black-clad man with a mask on his face walked in. Although his face was covered, Jiang Zhixu recognized him instantly from his eyes.

It was the Taoist priest she had met at Liu Ping’s house. What was he doing here? Could he be the one behind Bai Yanwen?

Jiang Zhixu’s suspicions were confirmed when she saw the man enter the hospital room. Instead of going to Bai Yanwen’s room, she went to the adjacent room, stuck a listening device on the wall, and began to eavesdrop on their conversation.

“Master, there’s a ghost… the ghost is beating me…” Bai Yanwen’s voice was weak, and he was wrapped in bandages, with only one eye and his mouth visible.

The Taoist priest replied, “There’s no ghostly energy emanating from you. What beat you wasn’t a ghost, but a person.”

“What?” Bai Yanwen’s single visible eye widened in surprise.
“Impossible! How could someone beat me without being seen? I didn’t see anyone the entire time. It must be a ghost, Master. It has to be a ghost.”

“Master, you have to save me.”

The Taoist priest’s tone remained calm. “I told you it wasn’t a ghost. The person might have used some method to become invisible. Think about who you’ve offended recently, Mr. Bai.”

“Offended someone?” Bai Yanwen’s expression turned angry as he thought of the Jiang family.
“It must be the Jiang family!” he sneered, his voice filled with resentment.

In his mind, he was even more contemptuous of the Jiang family. They must have used underhanded means. Once he recovered, he would definitely beat them to death!

On the other side of the wall, Jiang Zhixu clenched her fists in anger.
What a hypocrite! He was the one who had stolen Jiang Zhiyǔ’s good fortune first, and now he was blaming the Jiang family.

If he hadn’t provoked them, why would the Jiang family bother with him? He was shameless.

The Taoist priest’s expression remained neutral. “Since it’s not due to supernatural causes, I’ll take my leave now.”

“You’re leaving?” Bai Yanwen’s voice was incredulous.
“You’re just going to leave me like this? Don’t you care?”

The Taoist priest’s response was calm, but Bai Yanwen’s tone was one of disbelief and desperation.

The Taoist priest said, “I only deal with supernatural issues. Human affairs are beyond my control.”

“If Mr. Bai wants to resolve this, he should find someone else,” he added.

Bai Yanwen’s voice was laced with threat. “I don’t care if you can handle it or not. I demand that you take care of this. After all, we’re in this together. If I reveal anything to others…”

“Don’t forget, it was you who asked me to target Jiang Zhiyǔ,” Bai Yanwen continued. “It was you who told me to steal his good fortune.”

“If people find out that the esteemed Master Fuyun is secretly involved in such nefarious activities…” Bai Yanwen’s threat hung in the air.

Despite lying in bed, Bai Yanwen was still capable of intimidating others. Jiang Zhixu rolled her eyes, her face filled with disdain.

She had indeed been intimidated by Bai Yanwen in the past. Now, she felt like giving herself a few hundred slaps for being so gullible.

Master Fuyun’s expression turned stern, his eyes flashing with displeasure. “Mr. Bai, we’re merely cooperating. That doesn’t mean you can command me to do whatever you want.”

“You had the option to decline my proposal, but you chose to accept it. Wasn’t it because of your jealousy and resentment?” Master Fuyun’s voice was calm but piercing.

“Do you think you can bind me? You wanted to see if I’m worthy, didn’t you?” Bai Yanwen’s voice was venomous.

Master Fuyun’s face remained impassive. “I’m not threatening you, Mr. Bai. I’m just stating the facts. Everything started with your jealousy.”

Without waiting for Bai Yanwen’s response, Master Fuyun turned to leave the room. Jiang Zhixu, who was eavesdropping in the adjacent room, watched him leave.

What was this person’s true intention? He seemed like a bad person.

Suddenly, Jiang Zhixu’s system notification chimed in.
[Congratulations, host! Your mission is complete. Rewards have been issued. Please check your inventory.]

[The mission is complete?]

[Host has found the source of Jiang Zhiyǔ’s lost fortune and identified the mastermind behind it. The system has determined that the mission is complete.]

[In fact, host has exceeded expectations by uncovering the details behind the scenes.]

Jiang Zhixu opened her inventory and found a villa key among her rewards. The villa was located in a famous wealthy neighborhood in the capital.

This was beyond her wildest dreams. Even the Bai family wouldn’t be able to get into this exclusive neighborhood.

Jiang Zhixu’s excitement was palpable. She couldn’t help but run around the room, her joy uncontainable.

688, her system companion, watched her with a mixture of confusion and concern. [Host, have you gone mad?]

After containing her excitement, Jiang Zhixu left the room and waited for the guards outside Bai Yanwen’s room to change shifts. She slipped into the room during the brief moment of distraction.

The guards only noticed the door opening and closing, assuming it was the wind. But they didn’t consider how a closed door could be opened by the wind.

In the hospital room, Jiang Zhixu looked at Bai Yanwen, who was wrapped in bandages. She took out her phone and snapped a few unflattering photos of him.

Then, she rushed over, covering his mouth with her hand and punching him in the chest with a fist that had a powerful talisman on it.

“Ugh!!” Bai Yanwen’s eyes widened in pain as he tried to struggle, but he couldn’t break free.

Jiang Zhixu punched him several times, venting her anger. Afterward, she turned around and ran out of the room.

Next, she entered Bai Liuli’s room. Remembering the conversation between Bai Liuli and Liu Yue, Jiang Zhixu couldn’t resist slapping Bai Liuli’s face several times.

Bai Liuli’s face was already swollen like a pig’s head, and now she was in even more pain. She didn’t know who was attacking her, but she wanted to kill them.

Jiang Zhixu became more aggressive as she hit her. If it weren’t for the fact that murder was illegal, she would have considered chopping Bai Liuli into pieces.

Bai Liuli had no conscience, teaming up with outsiders to cause trouble for her adoptive family. What had the Jiang family done wrong to deserve such treatment?

Jiang Zhixu vented her anger and frustration, finally feeling relieved. She left the hospital and bought a box of watermelons on her way to check out her new villa.

When she arrived, she was amazed by the luxurious decoration and the beautifully landscaped yard, which included a swimming pool and a golf course.

The Bai family’s villa was nice, but it couldn’t compare to this one.
Every detail exuded opulence.

Jiang Zhixu took out the key and unlocked the door. She couldn’t help but touch every inch of the house, inhaling the scent of wealth.

“This room is for Mom and Dad, this one is for Big Brother, this one is for Second Brother, and this one is for Third Brother… As for me, I’ll take the room with the balcony,” Jiang Zhixu exclaimed, running around the house, excitedly.

She lay down on the big bed, thinking about how to tell her family about the house without raising any suspicions.
Maybe she could say she won it in a lottery?

After coming up with a plan, Jiang Zhixu locked the door and left the house. Before leaving, she kissed the key in her hand.

“My treasure, my wealth, it’s all mine,” she whispered to herself.

As she walked away, a young boy ran out and collided with her leg. Without saying a word, the boy started rolling on the ground, crying out in pain.

“Ah, it hurts so much! Help!” the boy wailed.

An old woman rushed over, her face twisted with anger.
“You dare to hurt my grandson!” she shouted, pointing at Jiang Zhixu.
