Chapter 115: A Case of Backfiring

As soon as Song Wanting heard Master Lai had found the key to the problem, she excitedly asked, “Master Lai, does that mean my fortune will improve if I move the plants away?”

“Not at all!”

Master Lai said seriously, “The feng shui arrangement is an invisible formation. Even if you move the plants, you cannot remove their inherent influence on the feng shui layout.”

Song Wanting hurriedly pressed, “Then what should I do?!”

Master Lai replied, “You should place a talisman crafted by a master at the location of the plants! Only then can you completely eliminate your troubles and ensure your fortune opens up, bringing auspicious energy!”

Song Wanting asked, “What exactly is a talisman?”

Master Lai immediately pulled out a stone the size of an egg from his pocket and said earnestly, “Miss, this is Taishan stone marrow, the essence left after millions of years of weathering and erosion of a complete Taishan stone. It is a divine item for dispelling evil and turning fortunes! If you place this Taishan stone marrow at the location of the plants, all the negative energy will dissipate immediately, and auspicious energy will come your way, ensuring your fortunes turn around!”

Song Wanting, overjoyed, asked, “Master, how much is this Taishan stone marrow? I’ll buy it!”

Upon hearing this, Master Lai’s eyes sparkled with excitement!

He then said seriously, “Miss, if this Taishan stone marrow were in Hong Kong, it would be worth at least fifteen million Hong Kong dollars. However, since we have a connection, I will sell it to you for ten million RMB.”

Song Wanting nodded and said, “Money is not an issue, as long as it can truly help me solve my troubles!”

Master Lai confidently assured her, “Miss, rest assured, place the Taishan stone marrow now, and tomorrow your fortune will completely change!”

Song Wanting immediately felt relieved. Without hesitation, she took out her checkbook, swiftly wrote a check for ten million, and handed it to Master Lai, saying, “Master Lai, I’ve bought the Taishan stone marrow. Please set up the arrangement!”

At that moment, Song Wanting was solely focused on quickly resolving the troubles she was facing!

Recently, she had been driven nearly mad by her bad luck.

Just last month, after celebrating her 24th birthday, she began experiencing a string of misfortunes.

First, she was involved in various car accidents, with all five of her beloved cars suffering varying degrees of damage;

Not long after, she twisted her ankle, which still ached even now.

A few days ago, she lost her most cherished jewelry, a keepsake left by her mother!

That piece of jewelry had been with her for over a decade; it was practically her lifeline. She offered a reward of several million but received no news.

Because of this, she didn’t know how many times she had quietly cried at night;

Yesterday, the Hong Kong Li family, who had been actively cooperating with the Song family, suddenly caused a major setback!

The two families had already reached an agreement to cooperate and were about to sign a contract, but the Li family in Hong Kong suddenly introduced another partner, halting the signing with the Song family and showing clear signs of wanting to collaborate with the other party instead.

For Song Wanting, this felt like a duck that was almost in her grasp suddenly being snatched away by someone else.

The losses this brought to the Song family were immense, far beyond what she could bear!

With a continuous stream of misfortunes, Song Wanting could no longer tolerate it and just wanted to escape this miserable life to avoid even greater losses.

Thus, spending ten million to resolve the feng shui issue seemed like a very worthwhile investment to her.

When Master Lai received the ten million check, his hands trembled with excitement.

He hid the check on his person and immediately took the Taishan stone marrow to the windowsill, removed the pot of plants, placed the stone on top, and continuously chanted Taoist incantations.

Ye Chen watched all of this with a cold smile.

This Master Lai not only knew nothing but also inadvertently made things worse, creating a major disaster!

In fact, he had long seen the peculiarities of this house through the feng shui secrets in the “Nine Mysterious Scriptures.”

He could clearly feel that this room had already formed a very terrifying formation from the feng shui secrets—a “Confining Dragon Great Formation.”

As the name suggests, in this formation, even a dragon would be trapped, let alone the fortune of an ordinary person.

Therefore, no matter how strong one’s fortune is, living in the Confining Dragon Great Formation would inevitably lead to a loss of fortune and continuous misfortune.

With the young lady living in such a room, her fortune was completely trapped, and once a person’s fortune is confined, misfortunes will naturally follow one after another.

Fortunately, this Confining Dragon Great Formation was still in its early stages and had not yet been perfected.

If it were allowed to continue developing, not only would a person’s fortune be trapped, but even their life could be ensnared within.

At that point, it wouldn’t just be a matter of bad luck; it could very well cost one their life!

Ironically, the only remaining flaw in this Confining Dragon Great Formation was that pot of plants!

Plants belong to wood, representing life and vitality!

With them present, it was as if a last remaining door to life was opened in this deadly formation.

Having this door allowed for a difficult resistance against the gathering of the Confining Dragon Great Formation, preserving the last bit of fortune for the young lady.

However, Master Lai had unwittingly chosen this spot and intended to replace it with his worthless stone…

It’s important to note that stones belong to metal! They represent indestructibility!

Once this stone replaced the plants, the Confining Dragon Great Formation would almost be complete!

At this moment, Master Lai finished chanting the incantation, let out a sigh of relief, and said, “Miss, I have completed the arrangement. You can rest assured!”

Song Wanting hurriedly asked, “So my fortune will be restored? I won’t be so unlucky anymore?”

“Yes!” Master Lai nodded, saying, “My feng shui techniques are renowned in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau. Even Hong Kong tycoon Li and Macau gambling king He have sought my guidance for their feng shui fortunes. You can trust me!”

Song Wanting quickly pressed, “Master Lai, do you have any way to help me find the bracelet my mother left me? If you can, I’m willing to pay another ten million!”

Master Lai scratched his head, “Well… Miss, I specialize in feng shui secrets, but finding lost items isn’t my area of expertise…”

Song Wanting nodded, somewhat disappointed, “It’s okay. I’m already very grateful to you for reversing my current bad luck, Master Lai.”

Just as she finished speaking, her phone rang. On the other end, a woman said urgently, “President Song, something terrible has happened!”

Song Wanting quickly asked, “What happened?”

The other party replied, “The batch of goods we exported to the United States just unloaded there, and their company said our products are substandard and wants to return them according to the contract, demanding triple compensation!”

Song Wanting’s eyes widened in shock, and she blurted out in panic, “Five thousand tons of goods returned? With all the back and forth, I’ll lose over ten million just in transportation and customs fees, not to mention the triple compensation—this could amount to several hundred million!”
