Chapter 23 – Five billion, I still won't help you

A convoy of eight extended Hummers formed a black motorcade, heading towards Taihu Mountain in the eastern suburbs of Jinling City.

Due to the traffic congestion in the city,

The fifty-kilometer journey took the convoy over an hour to complete!

At this moment,

It was already past four in the afternoon!

The sun was gradually setting over the western hills, with a sky full of crimson clouds.

On the gravel path,

The convoy cast long shadows in the twilight, accompanied by a few ancient poplar trees by the roadside, creating a sense of desolation.

"Brother Lin, we've arrived at the project site. You can get out now!"

Once the vehicle came to a stop, Wang Chong lowered his voice and said.

It was evident,

That as soon as he arrived at the construction site, his demeanor became tense, losing the carefree demeanor he had just moments ago.

"Alright!"

Lin Feng nodded, opened the car door, and stepped out.

He casually glanced around.

What met his eyes was a cluster of two-story buildings with blue roofs and white walls, typical temporary prefab houses at a construction site!

There were over five hundred such temporary prefab houses.

Calculating four people per room, there were over two thousand people!

For a construction site, this was already quite a large scale!

In addition,

There were some materials neatly stacked not far away, and a few workers wearing yellow helmets were absentmindedly doing some carrying work.

At this moment, two willow trees not far away caught Lin Feng's attention.

"Brother Lin, what do you think?"

Wang Chong asked cautiously.

"The scale of the construction site is indeed not small, but the Feng Shui of this place seems off."

Lin Feng shook his head.

"Impossible! The Feng Shui of this place was assessed by a Feng Shui master! It's definitely a top-notch blessed Feng Shui land. If the Feng Shui were bad, Jinling University wouldn't be planning to build a school here!"

Wang Chong immediately refuted Lin Feng's words.

Lin Feng glanced at Wang Chong, then pointed to the two trees by the stream in the distance and asked:

"Do you know what kind of trees those are?"

"Those are willow trees!"

Wang Chong replied matter-of-factly.

"Since you know they're willow trees, don't you find it odd? Willow trees are yin in nature and grow near water! Yet here, by this mountain stream, there are two willow trees with trunks a meter wide. Do you think that's normal?"

Lin Feng sneered.

Wang Chong's expression froze upon hearing this.

With just this hint, he also felt something was amiss.

Ordinary willow trees have trunk diameters of about thirty to forty centimeters at best, but here in the mountains, there were such robust willow trees!

This clearly didn't conform to the natural growth patterns.

"As they say, Qi disperses with the wind, stops with water, and is trapped by mountains!"

"Look, these twin willows at the mountain's front thrive, nourished by yin energy, growing thick and strong!"

"And look up, this mountain is hundreds of meters high, yet it splits into two, like twin pillars reaching the sky, blocking sunlight! At night, the mist and humidity make it both damp and dark, forming the most typical mountain yin-trapping formation!"

"But then again, the Feng Shui here is indeed quite good! But that's for spirit monsters and ghosts! For humans... well, it's a good place for nurturing corpses. Bury someone here, and in a decade or so, they might turn into a zombie."

Lin Feng said calmly.

"Gulp!"

Hearing these few words, cold sweat began to form on Wang Chong's forehead!

Could it be that the Feng Shui here really had issues?

But previously,

Why didn't the Feng Shui master notice?

"Brother Lin, what do you think we should do now?"

Wang Chong asked nervously.

"You have two choices: first, cut down those two willow trees, then level these two mountains to disperse the yin energy here."

"That's impossible! Cutting down the two willow trees is manageable, but Taihu Mountain is a 5A national forest park; we can't possibly blow it up! Brother Lin, tell me the second option!"

Wang Chong said with a frown.

"The second option is to relocate. I can help you choose a good place, ensuring smooth sailing and peace."

Lin Feng said.

Wang Chong smiled bitterly at this and said:

"Brother Lin, as you can see, this project is nearing completion. Moving now would mean a loss of over a billion! Is there no other way?"

"You want both money and safety! You can't have it all!"

Lin Feng sneered.

Wang Chong chuckled dryly, not knowing what to say!

Though he was wealthy, losing a billion all at once was still painful!

"I can't help you change the domain field here. Forcibly doing so might affect residents within a fifty-mile radius! The consequences are too great. Not for five million, not even for five hundred billion would I do it."

"I can at most help you deal with any reanimation issues. As for the rest, you'll have to figure it out yourself."

Lin Feng said calmly.

Support us at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

Wang Chong was about to reply when,

A group of people wearing red hard hats approached from a distance.

Typically, red hard hats are worn by project management personnel, yellow by regular workers, white by supervisors, and blue by safety officers or special operations personnel!

The approaching group all wore red hard hats, clearly project managers.

"Boss!"

The leading middle-aged man approached and greeted Wang Chong respectfully.

"Mm!"

Wang Chong nodded, then smiled and introduced Lin Feng:

"Brother Lin, this is Zhang Bin! He's the project manager for this project and one of my most capable men!"

Brother Lin?

Zhang Bin looked at Lin Feng in surprise.

He knew his boss's character well. Anyone addressed as "little brother" by him must have exceptional qualities!

Thinking of the strange occurrences in recent days, Zhang Bin immediately understood something and smiled, saying:

"You must be the expert who bestowed the talismans, right? I'm Zhang Bin. If you don't mind, just call me Binzi!"

Lin Feng nodded and said:

"Expert is too much, just a bit better than you guys."

"Hehe... Experts always speak with such wisdom!"

Zhang Bin replied with a smile.

Lin Feng didn't respond further.

Since Zhang Bin could manage such a large project, he surely had the skills, but it didn't concern Lin Feng much!

"I'll go take a look around the mountain."

Lin Feng said to Wang Chong.

"I'll go with you!"

Wang Chong quickly said.

"No need! Following me would be inconvenient. I'll be back before dark, and by then, the cause and effect can help solve your problem."

Lin Feng shook his head, then quickly walked away.

He didn't hide anything.

With a few leaps, he disappeared into the vast mountains and forests.

Seeing this,

Everyone present had their pupils contract slightly!

Such speed!
