Chapter 537 - Chu Yans Dream

Chu Yan looked at the security guard, nodded slightly, and walked in with Lu Sheng.

Today, waiters were decorating a flower stand at the entrance.

When they saw the two of them, they stood in a row and greeted them.

In the hall, everyone was busy setting up the dining table. It seemed like someone was setting up a banquet here.

Those who could hold a banquet here must have a rich family background.

Perhaps because they were all busy, no one inside noticed Chu Yan.

Hence, the two of them quickly went to the third floor and entered Lu Zhou’s room.

“Father?”

When he saw the person sitting inside, Chu Yan shouted in surprise.

That’s right. In addition to Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian, there were also Chu Hongzhong and a few familiar faces.

They were all business partners who often followed Chu Hongzhong. Even Pei Jiayou was present.

“You’re here? Take a seat.”

Chu Hongzhong looked at the two of them and gestured for them to take their seats.

Lu Sheng blinked and looked suspiciously at Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian.

Lu Zhou smiled and explained, “Your Uncle Pei said what you’re capable of, so the other uncles want to see you.”

Lu Sheng sat down beside Lu Zhou and looked across suspiciously.

“Lu Sheng, it’s these three uncles. They said they have something to ask you for help with.”

Pei Jiayou smiled and introduced the three people beside him.

The three of them were in their forties, two fat and one skinny.

“Hello, uncles!”

Lu Sheng greeted the three of them obediently.

The three of them chuckled and replied with a few praises.

One of them said, “It’s like this. Uncle Lei has been having some strange nightmares recently. In my dream, I either dreamed of a car accident or fell into the sea. Otherwise, I would fall into the abyss. Then, I would wake up every day and feel very tired, as if I had not slept. What’s the reason?”

When Lu Sheng heard that, she smiled faintly and said, “Actually, there’s no need to get me to come over for this kind of dream. My father can solve it.”

Lu Zhou was stunned before he smiled.

Lu Sheng rarely called him Father. Most of the time, she called him Master. Hence, he felt quite touched when he heard her call him Father occasionally.

“Oh?” Lei Zhou was stunned. He looked at Lu Zhou and said, “Mr. Lu knows this too?”

Chu Hongzhong said calmly, “CEO Lei, don’t you know that Mr. Lu is Lu Sheng’s master?”

Lei Zhou shook his head. “I also heard from CEO Pei that Lu Sheng knows these. I didn’t expect Mr. Lu to teach her.”

Pei Jiayou’s friends also hurriedly expressed that they only knew that Lu Sheng knew these, but did not know that Lu Zhou knew them too.

After all, he had only met Lu Zhou today.

“Uncle Lei, let my father solve it for you. Of course, you can find my uncle too.”

“Your uncle?” Pei Jiayou suddenly looked at Shangguan Dian and asked, “Could it be that Brother Shangguan knows about this too?”

Brother Shangguan?

Lu Sheng lowered her eyes and giggled.

If Pei Jiayou knew Shangguan Dian’s age, even calling him ancestor would be too young.

Of course, it was advantageous for her to call him uncle as well.

Shangguan Dian said humbly, “We’re family after all. If they know how to do it, I naturally know how to do it too.”

“I didn’t expect your family to be hidden experts!” Pei Jiayou sighed sincerely.

He had no idea how powerful Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian were. After all, he had never seen them perform a ritual.

However, he had seen Lu Sheng with his own eyes. Back then, the paper figurine transformed into a living person. Even now, he still found it unbelievable when he thought of it.

However, Lu Sheng was already so powerful at such a young age. As elders, there was needless to say about Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian.

“CEO Lei, your dream is basically an omen,” Lu Zhou said lightly. “The fact that you have these dreams means that someone is reminding you not to go to these places today. It’s best that you don’t drive.”

Lei Zhou said worriedly, “What do you mean?”

“That’s right. What happened in your dream was actually equivalent to a warning.”

After muttering to himself, Lei Zhou asked, “Mr. Lu, you’re saying that someone is reminding me not to do the things that happened in my dream recently. Otherwise, what happened in my dream might happen in reality?”

Lu Zhou nodded slightly. “Yes.”

“Got it. Is there any way to avoid these possibilities?”

“Of course,” Lu Zhou said lightly. “After you go back, find two black dog teeth, some black sesame seeds, and some iron powder. Wrap them up with a red cloth, sew them up, and wear them. I guarantee you won’t even have nightmares.”

Lei Zhou nodded. “Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your advice!”

Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head. He looked at the other two and they were about to tell him their reasons when he gestured for them not to.

“One of you often wakes up in the middle of the night and sits up himself. The other is very unlucky, right?”

“Mr. Lu is indeed brilliant!”

One of them said, “Ever since April, I haven’t been able to sleep well. I would wake up in the middle of the night. This happens almost every day. I didn’t find anything unusual when I saw the doctor.”

This person’s surname was Xi, and he was the skinniest among the three.

“Did someone die in April?” Lu Zhou asked.

CEO Xi nodded. “To be honest, my father accidentally rolled down the stairs in April and died on the spot.”

“Did you run over to hug him back then?” Lu Zhou asked.

After being stunned for a while, CEO Xi nodded. “When I heard the noise, I ran over to hug him. Did something happen?”

A chill ran down CEO Xi’s spine when he thought of what might happen.

“Someone sold your soul to an evil spirit. When your father found out, he hugged your soul too when you hugged him. When the coffin was sealed, he placed your soul into the coffin to protect you.”

When Lu Zhou finished speaking, CEO Xi sucked in a cold breath.

The others were also shocked, as if they could not believe that such a thing existed in this world.

“My soul was sold to an evil spirit?” CEO Xi felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly asked, “Then, Mr. Lu, do you know who sold my soul?”

Lu Zhou said calmly, “He’s your relative. As for who he is, you already know it yourself.”

CEO Xi seemed to have thought of something and his face darkened.

Everyone glanced at him secretly and did not say anything.

“Mr. Lu, what should we do?” CEO Xi asked softly.

“Open the coffin and summon the souls.”

“Open the coffin to summon souls?” CEO Xi was stunned. “Isn’t this… not too good?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After all, his father had only been buried for a few months. He felt that it was inappropriate to disturb him like this.

Lu Zhou said calmly, “There’s no other way.”

CEO Xi pursed his lips and contemplated for a while. Finally, he nodded. “Okay, I’ll ask Mr. Lu for help then!”

Lu Zhou smiled and nodded. “Of course.”

“What day is the most suitable to open the coffin?” CEO Xi asked.

“Any day, but it has to be in the morning.”

“Okay, please leave your phone number later. I’ll call you when I’ve decided.”

Lu Zhou nodded and continued looking at the next person. His surname was Su, and his symptoms were much lighter than the previous two.

“CEO Su, there’s actually nothing wrong. It’s just that you might have provoked something dirty when you stopped the car midway.”

CEO Su was stunned. He asked fearfully, “Does Mr. Lu have any methods?”

“Three days ago, you parked your car by the roadside and smoked. Then, you threw the cigarette butt in front of others. He felt that you didn’t give it to him, so he followed you. You only need to buy two packs of cigarettes and take three incense sticks to pay your respects at that place.”

When CEO Su heard that, he suddenly understood.

“No wonder I’ve been unlucky since two days ago.”

For the past two days, he had either choked on water or lost in a poker game. Otherwise, he had tripped on the ground.

So that was the case!

After thanking Lu Zhou, he said that he would follow Lu Zhou’s suggestion before returning.

As Pei Jiayou and Chu Hongzhong listened, their backs could not help but turn cold.

The duo asked Lu Zhou if there was anything unusual with them. After hearing Lu Zhou say that they were fine, the duo heaved a sigh of relief.

Soon, the dishes were served.

After dinner, it was already past seven.

When she went downstairs, Lu Sheng realized that an old woman was preparing to celebrate her sixtieth birthday.

It was unknown when the birthday banquet started, but the seats downstairs were already filled.

After sending CEO Xi, CEO Lei, and CEO Su off, Chu Hongzhong said to Pei Jiayou, “I still have a banquet here. CEO Pei, I’ll trouble you to send Yan Er home.”

Pei Jiayou waved his hand. “It’s on the way anyway. There’s no trouble.”

Chu Hongzhong spoke to Chu Yan and nodded at Lu Zhou and the rest before returning to the birthday banquet.

“CEO Chu, please wait.”

Lu Zhou looked at the hall and suddenly stopped him.

Chu Hongzhong stopped in his tracks and turned back to look at Lu Zhou suspiciously. “What’s wrong, Mr. Lu?”

Lu Zhou took a few steps forward and said in a low voice, “I’m afraid it won’t be peaceful here tonight. Let me give you a piece of advice. Leave after toasting. Otherwise, you’ll get into trouble.”

“Get into trouble?”

Chu Hongzhong was stunned. “What do you mean?”

“The person holding the banquet here today isn’t simple, right?” Lu Zhou asked.

Chu Hongzhong nodded. “It’ an official’s mother’s sixtieth birthday.”

“That’s right. If nothing goes wrong, this official will be jailed for embezzlement tomorrow. You better not get too close to him. Leave after the toast. Or, find an excuse and leave directly.”

Chu Hongzhong nodded suspiciously. After thanking Lu Zhou, he returned to the birthday banquet.

He followed Lu Zhou’s instructions and toasted the old woman. After wishing her well, he left with the excuse that he had something to do.

Indeed, at noon the next day, this official was arrested for embezzling hundreds of millions of public funds.

Those who were close to this person were more or less affected.

Chu Hongzhong sat on the sofa and watched the news. He suddenly felt that Lu Zhou was not a simple person.

Even he did not receive any news, but Lu Zhou actually knew. He even clearly knew when this person would be arrested.

In front of Lu Zhou, everything seemed to be in his control. This person was too scary!

When he heard footsteps coming downstairs, he looked up and saw Chu Yan coming down the stairs.

“Yan Er, come over.” He waved at Chu Yan.

In order to help Lu Sheng score points, Chu Yan played games with her until late at night yesterday. If not for the fact that he was very thirsty, he would not have woken up so early.

He yawned and walked towards Chu Hongzhong. “Father, why are you looking for me?”

“Sit.”

After he sat down, Chu Hongzhong pondered and asked, “Yan Er, you’ve been to the Lu family. What do you think of Lu Zhou?”

Chu Yan thought for a while and evaluated faintly, “He’s quite a good person. He’s very amiable.”

He did not know why, but from the moment he saw Lu Zhou, he felt that this person was very familiar. Moreover, he felt very close to him.

“Really?”

Chu Hongzhong nodded and pretended to say casually, “Yesterday, he told me that this person would be arrested for embezzlement today. I didn’t expect him to really be jailed the next day.”

When Chu Yan heard that, he said lightly, “In that case, he’s quite powerful. He can actually predict the future?”

Chu Hongzhong glanced at his son speechlessly.

This kid understood what he said in the past. Why did it seem like he was deliberately being careless today?

He said this to ask Chu Yan if Lu Zhou had someone in the Bureau.

In the end, he was bullshitting about predicting the future.

However, speaking of which, Lu Zhou might really know how to predict the future.

“Alright, go and do your work.”

Chu Hongzhong waved his hand like he was chasing away a fly.

Chu Yan raised his eyebrows and went to the kitchen to find food.

—————

When Lu Sheng woke up, it was already half past eleven.

Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian went out again without saying where they went.

She opened the fridge, took a packet of instant noodles, an egg, some scallions and vegetables, and went to the kitchen to prepare some food.

She had just finished eating when the doorbell rang.

Through the peephole, Lu Sheng saw Chu Yan standing outside alone.

She opened the door and smiled. “Why are you here?”

“I came to clear a doubt.”

After Chu Yan entered, he spoke faintly.

“Clear a doubt?” Lu Sheng closed the door and asked suspiciously.

Chu Yan sat on the sofa and nodded at her.

“Go ahead.”

Lu Sheng sat opposite him and threw a cherry into her mouth. She ate and looked at him.

“Didn’t I tell you before that I had a dream that resembled a drama series?”

Lu Sheng nodded and gestured for him to continue.

Chu Yan paused and continued, “Ever since the night I spent at your house, I stopped dreaming. However, that dream started again last night.”

“Can you tell me what happened in the dream?” Lu Sheng asked.

“I came here today to tell you about the contents of the dream.” Chu Yan looked at her and said, “Ever since I met you, I’ve had a strange ability.”

“In my dream, my name was Chu Sihan. I lived in a country called Xuan Yue Country. There was always a girl beside me that I couldn’t see clearly.”

When Lu Sheng heard the words ‘Chu Sihan,’ her heart jumped. When she heard the latter part, her eyes welled up. However, she did not say anything and continued listening silently.

“I didn’t know my relationship with that girl previously. I only knew that as I dreamed one dream after another, our relationship seemed to become closer. It was only yesterday that I realized that that girl and I were husband and wife.”
