"Alright, give me ten minutes, and I'll be right there."
Li Yang readily agreed. He knew Tang Hucheng's character; he wouldn't call for help unless it was absolutely necessary.
With the Tang family facing a severe crisis, he indeed needed to go and assess the situation.
He first arranged for his men to carefully escort the stones to Li Hao Antique Shop for delivery. Then, he set off alone, heading for the Tang residence.
By the time he arrived, Tang Hucheng and other members of the Tang family were already waiting at the main entrance.
Li Yang felt very curious and walked over, asking, "Uncle, what exactly happened? Why aren't you waiting at home? You've all come out."
"Mr. Li, you've finally arrived."
Upon seeing Li Yang, Tang Hucheng immediately walked towards him with a tense expression, his face grave. "You may not know, but a major incident has occurred in the Tang family today."
"In just one day, the Tang family has experienced no less than ten misfortunes. First, my driver nearly got into car accidents twice. Then, the nanny who went out to buy groceries was accidentally pierced by a steel pipe and rushed to the hospital in critical condition. She's still undergoing emergency treatment.
"Many other servants have also acted as if cursed, becoming dazed and suddenly losing their minds, smashing and destroying things within the Tang residence. It took me all my effort to control them."
Hearing these strange occurrences, Li Yang felt incredibly surprised.
It seemed someone had tampered with the Tang family's affairs, and the ability to cause so many accidents in such a short time suggested a powerful individual was behind it.
"Take me inside the house first. Perhaps the root of these disasters lies within the home."
Based on Li Yang's judgment, someone was definitely causing trouble.
"Of course, Mr. Li, please."
Tang Hucheng immediately agreed. With Li Yang by his side, his worries naturally lessened considerably.
He trusted Li Yang's abilities and believed he could discern the problem.
He suspected that these numerous accidents befalling the Tang family were a scheme orchestrated by the Situ family.
With his own capabilities, he was no match for the Situ family. If this trend continued, he feared the Situ family's goal was to cause the demise of everyone in the Tang family.
It was for this very reason that he had urgently invited Li Yang to investigate.
If even Li Yang couldn't resolve this matter, he was prepared to fight the Situ family with the Tang family, as they would not simply wait for death.
He personally led Li Yang into the villa. Midway through their walk back, Li Yang sensed something amiss and turned to ask, "Uncle, why don't I see Xinyu? Isn't she home today?"
"Oh, she went to the company and hasn't returned yet. I've already called her and told her not to come back for now, to avoid any further accidents on the road," Tang Hucheng replied.
"That's true. Let's go inside and take a look."
Li Yang watched as Tang Hucheng pushed open the villa door, then instructed everyone to follow him closely without making any noise, leading the way inside.
Upon entering, he was greatly surprised. At first glance, the entire villa appeared free of any malevolent spirits. The feng shui layout was completely normal, showing no signs of tampering.
"I'll go up to the second floor to take a look."
After confirming that the ground floor hall was fine, Li Yang gave Tang Hucheng another instruction and proceeded to the second floor alone.
Tang Hucheng and the others huddled together, cautiously observing their surroundings, fearing that danger might strike again.
Whoosh!
As Li Yang reached the second floor, a flash of dark light suddenly flickered in his peripheral vision to the left, like a swift shadow entering a room.
Li Yang's footsteps quickened as he followed, reaching the room's doorway and pushing it open with a bang!
Upon entering, however, he found no one in the room.
"Strange, did I just see things?"
Li Yang felt puzzled. He meticulously searched the room but still detected no issues.
He also found no traces of anyone entering the room on the floor.
If someone had indeed entered, no matter how fast they ran, there would have been clues left behind in the room.
"Ah!"
Just as Li Yang was carefully searching for clues in the room, a scream suddenly erupted from outside, instantly capturing his attention. He rushed out.
He ran to the doorway and saw several servants in the hallway, like vampires, frantically searching for the scent of blood. One of the normal servants had already been pinned to the ground, with a bloody gash on his neck.
In less than a minute, this servant had been bitten to death.
Tang Hucheng and the others were stunned by the scene unfolding on the stairs.
The next second, they suddenly saw Li Yang. Instantly, as if discovering something new, they licked their blood-stained lips and lunged ferociously towards Li Yang.
"Mr. Li, be careful!"
Seeing this, Tang Hucheng immediately shouted a warning.
Li Yang remained unfazed. As they lunged, he calmly dodged a few times. Seizing an opportunity when one of them lunged and missed, he instantly pointed a golden light at the acupoint on his throat.
Instantly, the servant froze in place, completely unable to move!
The others, seeing Li Yang's prowess, bared their teeth and snarled at him, but none dared to advance further.
"Life-Taking Heavenly Gang Gu?"
Li Yang walked over to the immobilized servant and, with practiced ease, reached from his throat to his abdomen, quickly identifying the problem.
The Gu he had encountered was a very powerful feng shui Gu. This Gu was refined with blood and the toxins of eighty-one different poisonous Gu. Once it infected a person, it would instantly cause them to lose consciousness and suffer from schizophrenia.
He just couldn't fathom who could have administered the Gu to them!
There were only two ways for this Gu to be transmitted. One was through food, where the Gu was ingested, and the poison began to spread. The other was by using antiques, where the Gu poison was vaporized into gas, and anyone who inhaled the scent would be poisoned.
Based on the current situation in the Tang family, it was highly likely the latter.
This Gu, transmitted through scent, had varying degrees of severity. Mild cases would result in misfortune and continuous disasters, while severe cases would lead to loss of consciousness, control by the Gu poison, and ultimately death from ruptured meridians.
"What a malicious method. This feng shui Gu requires certain conditions. It seems someone has used this villa as a vessel. The source of this Gu poison must be within a certain antique."
Li Yang stroked his chin, analyzing the situation carefully.
Upon learning the truth, he quickly pressed the acupoints of all the servants controlled by the Gu, knocking them unconscious. This not only prevented them from committing further harm but also alleviated their suffering.
Once the source was found and eliminated, their symptoms would also disappear.
When Li Yang went downstairs and explained this to Tang Hucheng, Tang Hucheng was also greatly astonished!
"So it's a feng shui Gu. But besides my Tang family members, who could have entered the Tang residence and administered the Gu without anyone noticing?" Tang Hucheng asked, full of confusion.
"Hahaha, Tang Hucheng, long time no see!"
Just as he was pondering, an evil laugh suddenly echoed from outside the villa!
