Chapter 70: Generous Labor Fees (Seeking Monthly Votes, Recommendations, and Followers)_1
After leaving the traffic bureau, the driver hung his head low and carefully followed at his side, occasionally stealing glances at Tang Huoyang’s expression, “Young Master, about today’s matter I…”
Tang Huoyang waved his hand, his heart was also very upset, but he maintained his composure and didn’t lash out at the driver, “This isn’t your fault, but next time when something comes up, and you can call me right away, just do it, don’t foolishly let them confiscate your phone. If anyone dares to take your phone, you have my permission to hit them, and if there’s trouble, I’ll bail you out!”
“Yes, Young Master,” the driver said, moved.
Tang Huoyang carefully examined his father’s personal car, which had just been towed, walking around it several times before looking up to ask, “Is there any problem? Did they hit anywhere when they towed the car?”
“No, Young Master, I’ve checked,” the driver quickly replied.
Tang Huoyang snorted coldly, “They know what’s good for them, or else I’d have camped out at this traffic bureau today!”
After finishing speaking, he turned to Pei Jinye and said, “This old model sedan is my old man’s pride and joy, he says he doesn’t like hover cars, just prefers the ones that run on land, if anything were to happen to it, I suspect not only would my home be gone tonight, but so would I.”
Pei Jinye couldn’t help but laugh, but he said softly, “Have you found out who it was?”
Tang Huoyang shook his head, “Not yet… Mad, one of these days I’m going to have my brother personally investigate. They don’t care about a wastrel like me, but I bet once my brother shows up with a knife, they won’t have the guts to fart.”
The driver took a cautious glance and said, “Young Master, the eldest young master said if you cause him any more trouble, he’s going to have the old master cut off your cards.”
Tang Huoyang’s face fell, and he said irritably, “Damn, can’t even put on an act anymore, what kind of world is this? Cut the crap and drive!”
The driver, feeling embarrassed, hurriedly started the car.
The luxury sedan quickly left the gates of the traffic bureau.
During the ride, Uncle Tang of the Tang Family, Tang Yulou, made a special phone call.
Tang Huoyang was the first to tattle, telling him about the car being impounded. Tang Yulou thought that the Tang Family had offended someone. After carefully inquiring about the whole situation from Tang Huoyang, he turned around and called his friend at the city hall to personally inquire into the matter.
Twenty-something minutes later.
Twelve thirty-seven in the afternoon.
Pei Jinye and Tang Huoyang finally arrived at Tang Yulou’s villa.
“Mr. Xiao Pei, we meet again. I was truly sorry that I couldn’t thank you in person yesterday… but you really do work miracles,” Tang Yulou was unable to express his excitement with words.
It had been a long time since he had a proper sleep… and this was no exaggeration. For an insomniac like him, to be able to sleep soundly was more intoxicating and dreamlike than the allure of beauty.
And what equally made him anxious was.
After leaving Pei Jinye, he experienced insomnia again last night.
“Mr. Xiao Pei, I couldn’t sleep again last night…” he said, looking at Pei Jinye with hope.
Pei Jinye said softly, “Uncle, rest assured, after the last successful attempt, I’ve gained some understanding, today I will hypnotize you again according to your previous routine…”
Tang Yulou asked in a low voice, “Are you confident you can find the cause of the illness?”
Pei Jinye shook his head, “Currently, I haven’t discovered any… Maybe Uncle you encountered something special before this symptom started?”
“Something special?” Tang Yulou furrowed his brow.
Tang Huoyang chimed in from the side, “Over the last two years, many people have asked the same thing, some suspect that Uncle once came into contact with a Cursed Object, but strangely, we haven’t sensed any ominous aura coming from his body.”
Pei Jinye looked thoughtful, “Actually, I also suspected a curse yesterday…”
He pushed the door open.
The servants were serving dishes, and Tang Yulou’s Aunt was also helping…
She seemed very virtuous and upon noticing the arrival of Pei Jinye and Tang Huoyang, she immediately wiped her hands and warmly greeted them with a smile.
“Xiao Yang mentioned you found a Divine Doctor for your uncle, this must be him? Hello, I’m Liu Huilan, Xiao Yang’s Aunt, just call me Aunt Lan if you don’t mind.”
“Aunt Lan, hello,” Pei Jinye greeted politely with a handshake.
Liu Huilan also inquired about Tang Yulou’s condition, but Pei Jinye could not give her an answer, as he genuinely had not found any cause of illness.
Liu Huilan looked somewhat disappointed and said with concern, “Then we might need to bother you to visit often in the future, Old Tang’s body has been wrecked by insomnia, and doctors even say he won’t last many years… Thankfully we have you now. The doctor came by this morning to examine him and said as long as we ensure he gets sleep and supplements his diet with nutrition, his body can still recover.”
“Aunt Lan, rest assured, I will do my best,” Pei Jinye nodded and said pensively, “I will come by regularly to help Uncle sleep and strive to find the cause as soon as possible, you don’t need to worry about that.”
Tang Yulou was so moved he didn’t know what to say.
It was Liu Huilan who spoke seriously, “In the future, let us know where you are, and we will send a car to pick you up and drop you off. I’ve heard from Xiao Yang that one session of hypnosis takes a lot out of you, we can provide any medicinal ingredients you might need.”
“Right, right, right, we can’t let you make a trip for nothing, I spent so much money on those quacks to no avail, I’ll give you all that money, it’s all just material possessions anyway, you mustn’t refuse my kindness,” Tang Yulou hastily added.
Pei Jinye observed Tang Huoyang without a change in his expression.
He… used up a lot of energy?
Tang Huoyang said without a hint of embarrassment, “Uncle and Auntie, we came here for a grand meal, and you start by saying all this, if I were Jinye, I would be scared away by now, it really puts on the pressure.”
Tang Yulou and his wife came back to their senses and promptly invited Pei Jinye to take a seat with all the politeness they could muster.
Tang Huoyang also raised his eyebrows looking towards Pei Jinye.
Pei Jinye had no objection to taking money, if it were just for one hypnosis session, he certainly wouldn’t mind.
However, judging by Tang Yulou’s condition, it would probably take a long time… once he took the money, he could work for them, and the couple would feel at ease.
“Then I won’t refuse your generous offer,” Pei Jinye was not pretentious.
Since he was already there, Pei Jinye decided to perform hypnosis on Tang Yulou ahead of time.
Uncle Tang of the Tang Family was even a bit excited.
Liu Huilan and Tang Huoyang stood by, watching eagerly.
Suddenly, Pei Jinye withdrew his hand and said with a wry smile, “Relax a little, your vitality is fluctuating too much right now, it’s not easy to hypnotize you. And Aunt Lan, senior, please leave, I’m not used to being watched like this.”
Tang Huoyang nodded in understanding, and Liu Huilan gently patted Tang Yulou’s hand with a reassuring touch: “Just relax.”
Once the two had left,
Pei Jinye started to swing the pocket watch again.
He imitated the hypnosis gestures he had seen in online videos.
Then he placed a hand on Tang Yulou’s shoulder.
“Now, you can fall asleep.”
Endless darkness enveloped him once again.
The Blood Spear could hardly resist brutally devouring the darkness around it.
Pei Jinye dared not relax.
To him, Tang Yulou’s psyche was extremely fragile, and with his current power, the slightest misstep could easily send this already frail man to his doom.
This time,
After the Blood Spear had finished devouring, Pei Jinye didn’t rush to leave.
He aimlessly searched in one direction… it seemed as if a feeble flame was flickering in the night, precariously close to being snuffed out completely.
Three minutes later,
Pei Jinye walked out of the room.
Tang Huoyang and Liu Huilan both looked over: “How did it go?”
“He’s asleep now, I’ll try again tomorrow,” Pei Jinye said.
“Really, thank you so much,” Liu Huilan said gratefully as she stuffed a card into Pei Jinye’s hand.
Pei Jinye didn’t pretentiously refuse and pocketed the bank card, then reminded, “Uncle is a bit frail, what did the doctor say?”
“The doctor said he needs to replenish his vitality but not excessively, what do you think, Jinye?” Now the Aunt fully trusted Pei Jinye’s ability.
Pei Jinye looked at her and shook his head slightly, “Follow the doctor’s advice.”
After leaving Uncle’s house, Tang Huoyang spoke in a low voice: “What’s up, you seem so distracted?”
Pei Jinye pondered for a moment before saying, “I have a rather delicate question, is your Aunt your Uncle’s first wife?”
