The scene in front of him was bizarre. There were statues of gods wearing Taoist robes and statues of monks wearing kasayas.
There were also many statues that looked like humans, but not really.
Wang Dequan was dazzled.
Looking at the bottom of a cabinet in the comer, Wang Dequan almost fell to the ground in shock.
There was a pitch-black god statue under the cabinet.
The statue had dark skin, a green face, and fangs; it was also stepping on someone.
The style was as different as it could be.
âBrother Wang, are you alright?â Gao Xinran asked with concern.
âIâm fine. Iâm fine.â
Wang Dequan patted his chest. Fortunately, he did not have a heart attack.
If someone with heart disease saw this, they would definitely be scared out of their wits.
If someone wanted to worship a god statue, then so be it. Couldnât they just get a proper god statue?
Why did she have to get something that looked like a ghost?
It didnât look like anything good.
âThe types of god statues you worship are truly all-encompassing,â Chen Yu said with a faint smile. âItâs truly an eye-opener for me.â
âThe four statues on the left cabinet should be the four gods of wealth, right?â
Gao Xinran nodded in embarrassment.
The four gods of wealth, Guan Yu and Zhao Gongming, Bi Gan, and even Fan Li.
These statues had a few common characteristics. They could bless othersâ fortunes and increase their luck.
The black god statue that Wang Dequan saw was called the Black God of Wealth.
It could also bless wealth and luck.
Gao Xinran started introducing the origins of the statues in the basement.
Just as Chen Yu said, it was all-encompassing.
Ancient and modern, local and foreign there was everything.
Other than the four gods of wealth, there were also partial and quasi-gods of wealth.
Many, many more foreign gods of wealth.
Gao Xinran even worshipped the god of wealth in Japan, Ebisu.
Wang Dequan didnât know whether to laugh or cry.
Compared to Gao Xinranâs âcollectionâ, Wang Dequan was just a small fan of spiritual tools and statues.
Gao Xinran was the professional between the two of them.
She worshipped a ton of statues and could still tell their origins and names.
Sister, your path is all too wild.
âThere are so many statues; can you really worship them all?â asked Wang Dequan.
âI can.â
Gao Xinran replied without hesitation.
On the first and fifteenth of every month, she would come to the basement and pay her respects to them one by one.
She would not miss even a single one.
Usually, she would come down personally to clean them up.
Her attitude was highly respectful, not allowing a single speck of dust to taint these statues.
âSister, you are really awesomeâ¦â
Wang Dequan raised his thumb and half-jokingly complimented Gao Xinranâs pious attitude.
âDr. Chen, previously, you said that the mystery would be solved in the basement.â
âNow that we re here, shouldnât you tell me the reason?â
Normally, Gao Xinran would have chatted with Wang Dequan about her experience worshipping her statues.
No matter what, Wang Dequan was Gao Xinranâs guide into this world.
If not for Wang Dequan collecting a large number of idols and spiritual tools, Gao Xinran would not have chosen this path.
Chen Yu raised his hand and pointed at the statue at rhe bottom of the cabinet.
It was the Black God of Wealth that Gao Xinran had mentioned.
âBe it your face or skin, itâs all because of it.â
âBecause of it?!â
Gao Xinran looked surprised.
How could the Black God of Wealth harm her?
âThatâs right, thatâs it.â
âThereâs something you said wrong,â Chen Yu said seriously. âItâs not called the Black God of Wealth, but the Evil God of Wealth.â
âIn terms of increasing oneâs fortune, it might bring good luck to a certain extent.â
âBut the fortune it brings is insignificant compared to the misfortune it brings.â
Chen Yu then arranged for Wang Dequan to try touching the statue.
Wang Dequan didnât reject that request. He bent down and reached out his hands to try to touch the Black God of Wealth.
When his hands touched the Black God of Wealth, Wang Dequan let out a terrifying shout.
âFuck! It hurts so much!â
Wang Dequan staggered backward as if he had seen a ghost.
âSister, what is this black statue made of? Why is it so cold?â
âItâs porcelain,â Gao Xinran blurted out.
âMr. Wang,â Chen Yu explained, ââwhen you touched this Evil God of Wealth, did you feel a bone-chilling coldness?â
âA cold feeling you canât even stand for a second.â
âYes, yes, yes, thatâs it.â
Wang Dequan said it with lingering fear.
It was difficult to describe the coldness that the statue gave off.
âDr. Chen, whatâs going on?â
Gao Xinran asked in confusion.
âSince itâs called the Evil God of Wealth,â Chen Yu said, âthereâs naturally something evil about it.â
âFrom a scientific point of view, it carries negative energy. Well, thatâs what 1 call it anyway.
âThe common people call this fiendish energy.â
âWhen a normal person touches it, they immediately feel unbearable pain.
They wish they could stay far away from it and never touch it again.â
âI seeâ¦â
Wang Dequan shook his hands and frowned. âSister, itâs fine to worship Guan Yu, the 18 Arhats, the Earth, or even the mountains.â
âWhy would you buy such an evil thing?â
â1 didnât buy it. Someone gave it to me,â Gao Xinran muttered.
âWho gave it to you?â
Wang Dequan immediately widened his eyes.
At this point, the case was about to be solved.
Chen Yu said Gao Xinranâs problem arose from this Black God of Wealth.
Bah, bah, bah, the Evil God of Wealth.
Wang Dequan once again personally felt the cold and explicit baleful aura.
All of them proved that this thing was not just a statue.
It was a genuine evil god.
It wasnât Gao Xinran who bought it, but someone else who gave it to her, so this was worth pondering.
The business world was like a battlefield with no lack of enemies.
Perhaps someone who had a grudge against Gao Xinran thought of such an undetectable way to kill her.
That person had learned that Gao Xinran had a hobby of collecting statues and used this to assassinate her.
Gao Xinran wanted to say something but hesitated, as if it were something difficult to say.
âSister, tell me quickly. The bastard who gave you this statue doesnât have good intentions!â
âJust tell me, Iâll find this bastard immediately and make him explain this matter clearly in front of everyone.â
Wang Dequan growled.
âBrother Wang, Iâ¦â
Gao Xinran cast a pleading gaze at Chen Yu.
âDonât fret, Mr. Wang,â Chen Yu said indifferently. âThis matter is a little complicated.â
âYouâve helped Ms. Gao a lor over the years. If she told you directly, youâd be embarrassed.â
âDr. Chen, werenât we discussing who the culprit was?â Wang Dequan asked blankly.
âWhy would this embarrass me?â
âBecause the culprit is the groupâs general manager you sent to her,â Chen Yu replied.
âItâs him?â
WangDequanâs face turned green.
âHow could it be him?â
âWhy canât it be him?â
Chen Yu asked back.
âThe statue was indeed given to Ms. Gao by your general manager. If you want to ask if he had any ill intentions, my answer is yes, but not too much.â
At most, heâs preparing to self-direct a hero saving the beauty..
