Chapter 455 Five Fiends Lock the Harbor 2
Before I could make the call, Fourth Wife called first.
"Sister Ling!"
After answering the call, I greeted them first.
"Thirteen, I've spread the word that Ni'er has planted Gu poison in places like Mid-Mountain and Repulse Bay. If nothing happens to you, all is well, but if something does go wrong, if an accident occurs, those Gu poisons will go out of control without Ni'er's control!"
Fourth Aunt said with a hint of smugness.
"Sister Ling, that's a great idea! How come I never thought of that before? Tonight I'll go to Mid-Levels and Repulse Bay to plant curses!" Long Nier chimed in.
"what?"
Fourth Wife was visibly taken aback.
"Nier, I was just saying!"
After regaining her senses, Fourth Aunt hurriedly said.
"Sister Ling, I'm serious, your idea is really great, how come I didn't think of it before?" Long Nier said with a hint of joy.
"Ni'er, isn't this a bad idea?" Fourth Aunt was a little scared.
"Sister Ling, it's nothing to worry about. Besides, as long as we don't get into trouble, the Gu worms won't revive and will remain dormant forever. I'm only in my twenties and in good health, so you don't need to worry!" Long Nier said.
"I'm not worried, I'm not worried!" Fourth Wife laughed awkwardly twice, but the laughter sounded a bit forced.
"Alright, Sister Ling, I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to plant the curse now!" Long Nier didn't give Fourth Aunt a chance to speak again and hung up the phone directly.
"Are you really going to bury them?"
I turned my head and asked.
"Of course we have to go, otherwise, who knows what those powerful families and the Xuanmen Association might do!" Long Nier said.
"Yes, we have to bury it!" Fatty Lin nodded.
"Brother, we really have to thank Fourth Wife this time. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have thought of this trick!" Long Nier said.
"Fourth Aunt is probably kicking herself now!" I said with a laugh.
Fourth Aunt's phone call was meant to curry favor with us, but unexpectedly, she ended up betraying herself.
Before I could even stop laughing, my phone rang again; it was Fourth Aunt again.
"Sister Ling?" I was a little curious. Didn't she just call me? Why is she calling me back?
"Thirteen, tell Ni'er not to say that I reminded her to plant the curse!" Fourth Aunt was a little embarrassed.
"Sister Ling, don't worry, this is an idea we came up with ourselves!" Long Nier said, leaning closer.
"Alright, that's all!" Fourth Aunt heard Ni'er's voice and panicked a little, then hung up the phone.
"Fourth Wife's concern has clouded her judgment; she shouldn't have made that call!"
Looking at my phone, I shook my head.
"Yeah, if she hadn't told us, we wouldn't have said it was her suggestion!" said Fatty Lin.
"Let's not talk about her anymore, I'm going to call Second Master!" I smiled, found Second Master's number, and dialed it.
After getting through, I explained the situation from beginning to end.
"Thirteen, you can take on the Cai family's work as usual. As for the Five Fiends Locking the Port, just pretend you don't know anything about it and don't get involved. Leave the rest to us!" Master Liu said after listening.
"Second Master, do we not need to get involved?" Fatty Lin asked.
"It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. If you get involved, the people behind the Xuanmen Association will have an excuse to take action against you. They won't care whether you use witchcraft on those wealthy families. In fact, they might even be hoping that you will take action against those wealthy families. If they all die, Hong Kong will definitely be in chaos. That's exactly what they want!" said Master Liu.
"That's true!" Fatty Lin said after thinking for a moment.
"You guys should just pretend you don't know anything about the Five Fiends Locking the Port. Just do what you always do with the Xuanmen Association. That way, both the Xuanmen Association and the people behind them will think it's just a fight over money. That way, it won't attract any attention!" said Master Liu.
"Okay, Second Master, we understand!" Fatty Lin and I nodded at the same time.
"Also, after this job is done, you and Donglin will go to the Northeast. Firstly, to relax; secondly, to avoid trouble; and thirdly, Donglin has indeed found some clues about that No. 8 secret vault. If you go with him, you can help him!" said Master Liu.
"Alright, Second Master, we understand!" Fatty Lin said.
After hanging up the phone, I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's all settled, I can relax now!"
"Um!"
Fatty Lin nodded.
For the next three days, Cai Chengyu was busy selecting people.
Yu Yuen is the second most haunted house on Hong Kong Island. People on Hong Kong Island are very superstitious about this kind of thing, and in addition, there are requirements for one's fate, so it is not easy to choose a person.
Most importantly, the haunting of the entertainment venue has been reported again.
This time, both major and minor newspapers reported on it, and it caused a great uproar in less than two days.
This commotion makes it even harder to find workers.
As a result, the entertainment venue was delayed because not all the workers could be found.
This delay lasted for a week.
That morning, Cai Chengyu called us and said that he had gathered nine people, but it would take a few more days to gather the remaining six.
For this matter, Cai Chengyu demanded an exorbitant salary.
He initially offered 5,000 a day and had already recruited four workers. However, the next day, the incident at the entertainment venue was widely reported, and all four workers backed out.
Therefore, he had to raise the price, from 10,000 to 20,000, and finally to 100,000, before the four workers reluctantly agreed. They also made a condition that they would only work during the day and only until 4 p.m.
The workers we found afterward had the same conditions.
In other words, the labor costs alone would be over a million.
"You madman! Nier's words were effective; they forced the Xuanmen Association to resort to such methods!"
After hanging up the phone, Fatty Lin said with a smile.
It's obvious that the hype surrounding the haunted entertainment venue was orchestrated by members of the Xuanmen Association.
Normally, it would be easy to find fifteen people, and it wouldn't be that difficult.
With this kind of publicity, coupled with the Xuanmen Association's underhanded tactics, it's actually quite difficult to gather fifteen people.
"This is good. The longer the stalemate lasts, the better it is for Second Master and his men to take covert actions!" I said.
"By the way, call Second Master and find out what's going on!" Fatty Lin rubbed his hands together, looking gossipy.
"Fine, I'll hit it!"
As I spoke, I took out my phone and called Uncle Liu.
After the call connected, I asked, "Second Master, how's the situation?"
I've been making this call every day for the past two days.
That rascal Lin, because he's so unserious, would get lectured by Master Liu the moment he hit someone, and then he'd encourage me to hit him too.
"We've found the exact locations of the Wood and Water Sha, now it's just a matter of when to take action and destroy them!" said Master Liu.
"Thank goodness we found it!" I breathed a sigh of relief.
These are the major inauspicious influences, especially the Earth element, which is self-evident. The real problem lies with the powerful and wealthy families.
Of the other four evil spirits, the Metal Evil and the Fire Evil are the easiest to find. The Metal Evil is the bronze lion at HSBC headquarters, and the Fire Evil is the bronze torch on the Avenue of Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui. These two evil spirits are right there; just send someone to take a look and you'll know.
The most difficult to find are those with wood-related afflictions and water-related afflictions.
