Several people walked towards the Chen family's old house, with the woman behind them following all the way.
Upon arriving at the Chen family's entrance, they saw Liu Zhonghe, whose expression was somewhat grim.
Before Yang Guofu could greet him, the woman stepped forward and slapped Liu Zhonghe across the face.
*Slap!*
The woman did not hold back, and Liu Zhonghe's left cheek turned bright red.
"Liu Zhonghe, did my family treat you unfairly? You weren't bothered by our poverty and married me, entrusting the company to you for management. Why did you deceive me?"
The woman's voice was filled with anger, but more than that, it was the pain of being deceived.
Yu Daochen and the others, witnessing the scene, understood the situation.
This woman must be Liu Zhonghe's current wife, Lu Wenxia.
"You heartless man!"
*Slap!*
Another slap. Lu Wenxia looked at the silent Liu Zhonghe, tears welling up in her eyes.
Yang Guofu sighed and shook his head, leading the group into the old house.
Entering the main hall, Yang Guofu's expression changed as he looked at the coffin. Yang Ergou cried out in fright, "Master, the paper effigy has fallen!"
The group approached the coffin to examine it.
Inside the coffin, Chen Qingshui's face had turned purple, his fingernails had grown eight centimeters long, and veins were visible all over his body.
He had completely reanimated.
Yang Guofu looked at the others and said sternly, "Once Erhu finds the Hua Sha tomb, we will open the coffin immediately!"
As he spoke, Yang Guofu instructed Yang Ergou to go and call Liu Zhonghe in.
Yang Ergou went out and said a few words, and Liu Zhonghe entered with Lu Wenxia.
Yang Guofu asked, "Boss Liu, when did this paper effigy fall?"
Liu Zhonghe's face turned pale as he looked at the fallen paper effigy. "It was fine before you arrived. How could it have fallen just because I stepped out for a moment?"
Dahu shook his head and refuted, "Impossible. This corpse-sealing formation should completely prevent reanimation."
Liu Zhonghe felt wronged. He had seen the paper effigy standing when he woke up this morning, and only after he went out to check did it fall. "It's true, the paper effigy wasn't down when I went out."
Yang Ergou had just explained the seriousness of the situation, and Liu Zhonghe dared not lie.
"Where is Chen Ruolian?" Yu Daochen asked, noticing her absence.
Liu Zhonghe shook his head. "This morning when I went to her room to call her, I found she had already left. She's been like this for the past few days."
After speaking, Liu Zhonghe began to explain to Lu Wenxia again.
Yang Guofu and Yu Daochen exchanged glances and nodded.
Yu Daochen turned and rushed directly to the second floor, while Yang Guofu began to inspect the rooms in the main hall.
Yu Daochen reached the second floor and found that besides two small rooms, there was a large room used for storing miscellaneous items.
Yu Daochen approached the room where the杂物 were stored, placing one hand on the door and gripping the Kang Long Jian at his waist with the other.
*Bang!*
Yu Daochen pushed the door open and checked for any movement inside. When he sensed something was amiss, Yu Daochen pulled the door shut and went to the door of one of the rooms.
Pushing the door open, Yu Daochen found Chen Qingshui's father, Chen Xiaobao, lying motionless on the bed.
Yu Daochen slowly approached Chen Xiaobao, his grip on the Kang Long Jian ready to be drawn at any moment.
Upon reaching Chen Xiaobao, Yu Daochen saw that he was not moving. He reached out a hand to check.
"Master, how did you get up here!" An aged voice came from behind.
Yu Daochen instinctively turned, drawing the Kang Long Jian from his waist.
Upon seeing that it was Chen Qingshui's mother, Yu Daochen froze, his grip on the Kang Long Jian tightening.
"Impossible, how could she have a soul!"
Yu Daochen looked incredulous. She had clearly been a corpse last night. Could it be a ghost possession?
Yu Daochen walked towards the old woman and raised the Kang Long Jian to strike.
The old woman did not dodge, showing no fear on her face. Just as the Kang Long Jian was two centimeters away from the old woman's head, Yu Daochen suddenly stopped.
"Who are you?" Yu Daochen asked.
The old woman did not answer. "If Master has nothing else, please leave."
Yu Daochen retracted the Kang Long Jian and went downstairs.
In the main hall, Yang Guofu shook his head. Yu Daochen nodded with a grim expression and leaned in to whisper to Yang Guofu.
After listening, Yang Guofu's expression became complicated, and he asked, "Are you sure?"
Yu Daochen nodded. "I'm sure!"
Yang Guofu looked at Dahu and said sternly, "Tell Erhu to hurry. The burial must be completed before twelve tonight."
Although they didn't know what had happened in the Chen family, burying Chen Qingshui was the most pressing matter.
Dahu nodded and took out his phone to make a call.
Yang Guofu then looked at Liu Zhonghe with a grave expression. "Boss Liu, you and your wife had best stay together. You may be in mortal danger."
Lu Wenxia and Liu Zhonghe both looked grim. Liu Zhonghe asked, "Master, what do you mean by that?"
Yang Guofu did not tell Liu Zhonghe about Chen Xiaobao and his wife. Instead, he made up a reason, saying, "Chen Qingshui's corpse has turned into a zombie with extremely heavy resentment. It might take the lives of those closest to him."
Yang Ergou looked confused. Sanhu gave him a look, fearing that his foolish disciple would let something slip again.
Sanhu sighed. He had taken Yang Ergou as a disciple because he had no ill intentions and was honest and kind.
By twelve noon, Erhu had still not returned.
Dahu called again. "Second brother, haven't you found the Hua Sha tomb yet?"
Erhu on the other end of the phone paused before saying, "Big brother, something is not right. You guys should come up here first."
