Chapter 72: Chapter 8: The Disfigured Woman of the Ghost World (Part 8)

Gao Yang’s mother had always been in a daze, but now that Gao Yang was awake, Gao Fei directed someone to take Gao Yang to see her.

“Master Li, let’s have a chat.”

Li Shuning nodded.

This time, Master Lin followed voluntarily, and Li Shuning said nothing about it.

Gao Fei thought that since Master Lin had always been with the Gao Family, it didn’t matter if he heard, so the three of them headed towards Gao Fei’s study.

Once inside the study, after tea was served, Gao Fei instructed the butler not to allow anyone near the study without his order.

After closing the door, Li Shuning walked around a bit, examining the surroundings.

No one noticed that Li Shuning was holding something like a marble in her hand.

It was actually a detector from the hovercar.

Once Li Shuning discovered there was no surveillance in the study, she stopped.

At this moment, Master Lin was looking curiously at Li Shuning, his eyes filled with uncertainty and surprise.

However, Li Shuning smiled and stepped forward, standing in front of Master Lin.

Their eyes met, and Gao Fei felt a bit baffled.

The two of them stared at each other for at least ten minutes. Finally, Li Shuning chuckled, while Master Lin took the initiative to say, “Mr. Gao, I have something to attend to; I’ll take my leave first.”

Though Gao Fei found it strange, he still nodded.

After Master Lin left, Gao Fei asked urgently, “Master Li, I want to know, what on earth is wrong with my son? Is he possessed?”

Li Shuning, however, shook her head with a smile, “No, your son is not possessed; he was merely sabotaged and been under mind control.”

Gao Fei found it somewhat unbelievable, but when he thought about his son’s condition over the past two years, which was a result of being controlled, a flash of malevolent intent crossed his face.

“Please advise me, Master Li.”

Li Shuning nodded. Gao Fei still had some courage; otherwise, the Gao Family wouldn’t have prospered so much in his generation.

The stronger a magician’s power, the greater their responsibility.

You shouldn’t use your abilities to harm others.

No matter whom the Gao Family bears grudges with, or what interests are at stake, it doesn’t concern Gao Yang; he’s just a child.

“Mr. Gao, your son’s blood and hair must have been obtained by someone, who then used them to control him. Whoever could control your son this way must have also come into close contact with him.”

“Your son has now recovered, and after undergoing my cleansing, even if someone tries to harm him again through the same method, they can’t do anything to him anymore.”

“Thank you, Master Li.”

“You don’t need to thank me. I’m helping you for a reason. I know the Gao Family has a lot of influence in Lishui City and numerous businesses. I hope Mr. Gao could assist by employing these two people under your business, without needing to overly care for them, but allowing them to work comfortably, free from worries about food and clothing.”

Li Shuning took a photo and a piece of paper out of her backpack.

The paper contained basic information on Li Fu and Wang Xiaojuan, while the photo was a picture of them together.

“Those are my parents. My parents don’t know about me learning magic with my master, and I don’t want to worry them. So, I hope to assist Mr. Gao while also hoping Mr. Gao can help take care of my parents. But I also hope Mr. Gao can look after my parents naturally and not tell them about me.”

Gao Fei, being a successful businessman, naturally understood Li Shuning’s abilities and her words were clear. Yet, he was still quite pleased.

His family had mysteriously been controlled without his knowledge. Now that Li Shuning’s parents are under his care, it means the Gao Family is under Li Shuning’s protection.

If not, any issue with the Gao Family would also affect Li Shuning’s parents.

“Rest assured, Master Li, Gao Fei will handle everything properly.”

Li Shuning nodded, “In that case, I’ll be leaving now.”

“Please wait, Master Li.”

Gao Fei rushed out and returned shortly, holding a mobile phone and charger, along with a bank card.

“Master Li, you are a benefactor to our Gao Family, please accept these.”

Li Shuning looked at Gao Fei, then chuckled softly, only accepting the phone from Gao Fei’s hand but didn’t even glance at the bank card. The phone would indeed be useful if there’s a need to contact him in the future.

After Li Shuning left, Gao Fei sighed. The card was his test, and true to form, Li Shuning didn’t even look at it. At such a young age, with such formidable power, why would she stay with the Gao Family?

Never mind, the top priority is to take care of Master Li’s matter.

Gao Fei directly picked up the phone, made a few calls, dealt with the arrangements, and then started investigating Gao Yang’s situation.

When Li Fu and Wang Xiaojuan returned home, they appeared somewhat lost in thought. Seeing their state, Li Shuning guessed that Gao Fei must have already taken action.

Li Shuning’s eyes carried a smile, “Dad, Mom, you’re back. Xiao Ning made some mung bean soup, it’s already nice and cool, come and have some.”

Wang Xiaojuan hugged Li Shuning tightly, “Darling, thank you, sob… It’s our fault for not being able to do better; you’re so young, yet you have to handle all of this.”

Li Fu also got choked up, “Good child.”

“Dad, Mom, has something happened?”

Wang Xiaojuan wiped her tears and said happily, “Your dad came to pick me up, and on our way back, we encountered someone who had their briefcase snatched. Your dad and I went to help, and that person was very grateful to us, saying the briefcase contained very important documents, and they wanted to thank us.”

“When the person offered us money, we didn’t take it because it was just a helping hand after all, how could we take money? Little did we know, upon seeing the uniform your dad was wearing, the person offered to introduce us to a good job.”

Li Fu nodded as well, “They invited us to work at the Gao Group. Your mom and I were late coming back because that Manager Liu said they would help us get the job. He said that both of us should work as logistics supervisors, with a high salary. Originally, your mom and I didn’t want to go, since when we helped that person, it wasn’t for any gain. But that person said the company just happened to have vacancies for such positions and needed honest and trustworthy people, so after discussing it, your mom and I decided to quit our current jobs tomorrow and work at the Gao Group.”

Li Shuning smiled, “Then congratulations, Dad and Mom. How about we buy some good food tonight to celebrate?”

“Alright, let’s listen to our darling daughter.”

The atmosphere in the Li Family was very good, while over at the Gao Family, Gao Fei was furious, making people quite fearful.

Gao Fei discovered that two years ago, the ones who obtained Gao Yang’s blood and hair and manipulated him were actually Master Lin and a family doctor.

Considering Master Lin had served in the Gao Family for so long, Gao Fei had never treated him poorly. Unexpectedly, this person dared to make such a big covert move.

Fortunately, Gao Yang had regained consciousness and recalled some things.
