Chapter 4155 1 Portraits
Hearing Kassan say that made me roll my eyes in anger.
This leaves me no chance to enjoy things alone. Unfortunately, my abilities are limited, and I can't handle everything properly. Many times, I need the help of these fair-weather friends.
Once one person knows about this, everyone else will know as well.
If this gets back to the slovenly Taoist priest, things will get even more complicated.
So I decided to keep Kassan calm for now.
"Kasan, if you're free, come help me out. Don't bother the others; we'll split the money among the three of us," I said with a smile.
"Sure, sure. If Brother Wu wants to help, I'll definitely be there. Just wait, I'll be there first thing tomorrow morning." With that, Kassan hung up the phone.
That little Kassan is getting more and more outrageous; he's actually trying to take advantage of me.
However, it's good that Kassan came. After all, I'm facing a master of black magic, and his arrival will definitely be of great help to me.
When I was on the phone with Kasang, I put it on speakerphone, and Huang Meng heard it too.
He was extremely indignant: "I never expected that Master Chen would be so insidious. This is not saving my life at all, it's simply murder for money. Besides trying to kill me, he also took the life of an innocent child. It's too immoral."
As she spoke, Huang Meng walked over to the porcelain doll, grabbed it, and was about to throw it to the ground.
Seeing this, I quickly stepped forward to stop Huang Meng and caught the porcelain doll: "Mr. Huang, are you crazy? This porcelain doll can't be dropped."
"Why can't we smash this harmful thing?" Huang Meng asked angrily.
“Now that you’ve broken it, the vengeful spirit inside the porcelain doll will haunt you even more fiercely. It might even take your life tonight. Just wait, I’ll handle this for you and make sure you don’t have any worries. A friend of mine who knows black magic will come to help tomorrow.” With that, I put the porcelain doll back into the shrine.
The porcelain doll was ice-cold, and when I held it, I felt as if it was giving me a sinister smile.
The little thing is trying to scare me; it's courting death.
I've figured this out. As the saying goes, the one who tied the knot must untie it. To completely solve this problem, we need to find that person named Chen Zhong, or wait for Kasang to come and see if there's a solution. The main issue is that I don't know much about this kind of evil magic, and acting recklessly might backfire.
Afterwards, Huang Meng and I left that room and returned to the lobby on the first floor.
Huang Meng sat there anxiously, her previous composure long gone.
At this moment, I took out my phone and called Butler Jin of Wanluo Sect.
I'm looking for Butler Jin so he can help me investigate this person named Chen Zhong. If I can find out where he lives, everything will be much easier.
The call was quickly answered, and the long-lost laughter of Butler Jin came from the other end: "Oh, Young Master Wu, it's been a long time since we last spoke. Have you been busy with big business lately and forgotten about me, Jin?"
"Butler Jin, what you're saying is a bit heartless. Last time I acquired a large batch of jade, pearls, and agates, weren't they all supplied by your Wanluo Sect?" I said with a smile.
“That’s right. It’s been a long time since I last spoke to Young Master Wu, and I miss him terribly. Tell me, what is it that requires the assistance of the Wanluo Sect? If it’s within our capabilities, we will certainly do our utmost to help.” Butler Jin readily agreed.
"Butler Jin, I'm currently in Lion City and I'm looking for a man named Chen Zhong. He's a complete wicked cultivator who often swindles money from wealthy people. I'd like you to help me find information about him, preferably where he lives." I got straight to the point.
“Chen Zhong? I’ve never heard of such a person in Lion City. Give me five minutes, I’ll ask the local hall master of Wanluo Sect in Lion City to see if I can find any information about him.”
With that, Butler Jin hung up the phone. Sure enough, five minutes later, Butler Jin called back and said immediately, "Young Master Wu, I checked for you. It seems there is no one named Chen Zhong in Lion City. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
When I heard Butler Jin say that, I was stunned. What's wrong with this old man?
Even the all-knowing Wanluo Sect couldn't find this person. Given the strength of Wanluo Sect, they should be able to easily find even an insignificant nobody, let alone a powerful evil cultivator.
Unless Chen Zhong was using a pseudonym to avoid trouble.
Thinking about this, I felt a little frustrated and said, "Butler Jin, there might be something wrong. I'll ask my employer again and call you back once I've figured it out."
"Sure, sure, I'll keep in touch anytime." With that, Butler Jin hung up the phone.
My mind was in turmoil. I sat down next to Huang Meng again and asked seriously, "Mr. Huang, are you sure the person who treated you and changed your luck is named Chen Zhong? Do you have a photo of him?"
“No… He told me his name was Chen Zhong, that he was in his sixties, and that he looked like a wise and venerable man. I suggested taking a photo with him, but he said no, it would interfere with his cultivation,” Huang Meng quickly said.
At this moment, Director Zou suddenly came over and said, "Mr. Huang, can you describe what that person looks like? Before I became a director, I was a set designer on film sets. I studied painting for many years. If you describe what that person looks like, I might be able to draw him."
Hearing Director Zou say that, I immediately became happy and patted him on the shoulder: "That's great, Director Zou, I didn't know you had this skill."
"I studied it when I was young, but I'm not very good at it. I can give it a try," Director Zou said modestly.
So Huang Meng had someone bring paper and pen. Huang Meng was responsible for describing Chen Zhong's appearance and features, while Director Zou was responsible for drawing the person.
Once I've determined what this person looks like, I'll take a picture and send it to Butler Jin, asking him to help me find this person. It shouldn't be too difficult then.
With the cooperation of Director Zou and Huang Meng, after nearly two hours of revisions, a portrait was finally presented to us.
The old man in the portrait was over sixty years old, with sharp eyes, a goatee, a lean build, a mole on the corner of his mouth, a high nose, and small eyes; he looked very shrewd.
“That’s right, it’s him, he is Chen Zhong.” Huang Meng pointed to the portrait and said with great certainty.
So I took out my phone, took several photos of the portrait, and sent them directly to Butler Jin. Then I called him and said, "Butler Jin, I've sent you the portrait of Chen Zhong. Please help me identify him as soon as possible."
