Chapter 170  : Village Chief Is Really Rich

Before coming here, Su Meng had seen a lot of news about outsiders going to a village only to be bullied by the press corps. For her, no matter what she did, she had to take precautions in advance.

Su Meng looked serious and did not look like she was joking. Shen Jian also straightened his expression when he saw this, indicating that he understood.

Other than Shen Jian, Su Meng and Lin Ai followed the Village Chief into the house. The Village Chief did not forget to close the door, as if there was some treasure in the yard that he was afraid of being discovered.

“Hong Si is a very nice kid. It’s impossible for him to steal. Let’s talk about it slowly.” The Village Chief poured a glass of water for Su Meng and Lin Ai, then sat down beside them.

Su Meng had been observing the Village Chief’s house since she entered. From the outside, his house looked ordinary. Other than the two small stone lions at the door, it looked no different from the other houses.

However, it was a different world when she entered. No wonder the door was locked tightly and he was so nervous to come out. It was because the Village Chief’s house was decorated too magnificently.

Su Meng herself was an antique seller. She could tell at a glance how valuable the decorations in the Village Chief’s house were.

Not only these antique decorations, Su Meng also discovered that there were many gold ornaments hanging in the Village Chief’s house. Even the outer frame of the electronic clock was pure gold. It was too extravagant.

He was just a village chief. How could he have so much money?

It was reasonable to say that the antiques were passed down from generation to generation, but the gold on the wall was genuine modern workmanship. Moreover, according to Su Meng’s observation, these things were made recently. In other words, he had just made a fortune recently.

Then what was his way of making a fortune? Su Meng pondered while chatting with the Village Chief.

“Then you don’t know him very well. He’s usually sneaky and cunning. He’s not honest at all,” Su Meng deliberately said sarcastically, wanting to see the Village Chief’s reaction.

Lin Ai, who was at the side, stared at Su Meng in shock. She even seemed to be slightly angry.

She wanted to retort, but was secretly pinched by Su Meng.

Lin Ai was very smart. She knew that she couldn’t argue with Su Meng at this time, but she couldn’t bear to hear Su Meng say bad things about Hong Si. She got up angrily and wanted to go out for a walk by herself.

The Village Chief wanted to stop her, but was interrupted by Su Meng. Su Meng asked the Village Chief a few more questions that didn’t have much information to kill time.

While chatting with the Village Chief, Su Meng was also observing the auspicious qi of the Village Chief’s house. After looking for a while, she indeed found a problem.

According to Su Meng’s observation, there was an array formation in the Village Chief’s courtyard, and the core of the array formation was somewhere in the courtyard. That auspicious qi was attracted here by the array formation, and the auspicious qi was washed away. That was why the Village Chief suddenly became wealthy.

Su Meng was very familiar with this array formation. She had seen it in Guo Xiang’s notes. There were many feng shui masters who knew this array formation, but no one had ever done it.

As for the reason…

Su Meng stared at a certain spot in the courtyard, her eyes narrowed into slits. This formation would not harm the recipient in the slightest, only the caster.

This was because this was to pry into the secrets of the heavens. Defying the heavens and changing fate would cause considerable harm to the caster’s body. As for what kind of harm, Su Meng did not know. After all, she had never seen anyone use this formation before.

It seemed that this Village Chief did not only do something forbidden by feng shui, he also did something against the law.

Having seen through the mystery, Su Meng could not be bothered to beat around the bush with the Village Chief and asked directly, “So do you know where Hong Si is now?”

The Village Chief shook his head and said regretfully, “I don’t know. Everyone is very worried about his health, but we have never been able to find him.”

The old man said that Hong Si was at the Village Chief’s house, but the Village Chief said that he didn’t know where he was. Who was lying?

Su Meng thought about it and decided to find out if there were any surveillance cameras at the Village Chief’s house first. If there weren’t any…

“But doesn’t the village usually have surveillance cameras? We can see where he went in the end,” Su Meng asked.

When he heard about the surveillance cameras, the Village Chief looked troubled. “No one in our village installed a surveillance camera because we are all villagers and understand each other. Even if outsiders come, we are not afraid. Everyone will pay special attention and help each other watch the house, so there are no surveillance cameras.”

“Then your house doesn’t have a surveillance camera?” Su Meng asked.

The Village Chief nodded. When Su Meng saw this, she immediately relaxed. Since there was no surveillance camera, everything was easy to do.
