Wenwen remained silent in the office. Her parents were called and arrived quickly. Teachers and the principal were still puzzled. A psychology teacher spoke with Wenwen and learned the reason for her attempt to jump.

Jia Xia told the principal, "Gu Qin is a good student..."

The principal said, "Jia Xia, your classmate is planning to jump, and you still think she's a good student? Regardless of who's right or wrong, since it was caused by her, she must come here to clarify the situation."

Jia Xia remained silent and fetched Gu Qin. When Gu Qin arrived, she wasn't surprised and remained calm. "Teacher, Principal, what do you need?"

The principal, a middle-aged man in his fifties, recognized Gu Qin as the student whose grades had improved dramatically. He treated her kindly, "Gu Qin, we called you here to ask some questions. Wenwen said you cursed her during her run, which led to her injury, and you said hurtful words. That's why she decided to jump from the sixth floor."

Gu Qin replied, "Principal, I didn't curse her. I only saw from her face that she had trouble and mentioned it to my friends. She fell during her run. Do you believe in curses? If curses worked, the world would be chaotic. I only know a little about physiognomy. Wenwen falsely accused me. Is it unreasonable to respond to false accusations? I merely said if I could curse, I'd curse those bullies to death instead of wasting my energy on her. Is that inappropriate?"

Jia Xia explained that Wenwen hadn't intended to quarrel with Gu Qin. After the scare, she recounted the incident to the teacher, not targeting Gu Qin.

The principal was speechless. Gu Qin continued, "I only saw trouble from her face. Physiognomy is part of traditional Chinese culture. Few believe in it now. Your family might be having some problems recently."

The principal was taken aback. Gu Qin added, "Your face shows signs of your parents being unwell, and your child's health isn't great. Am I right?"

The principal nodded, unsure. His parents had been sick lately, and his grandson was ill too. Gu Qin observed, "Your house in the suburbs recently underwent construction. That might be causing the problems."

The principal nodded. Gu Qin suggested, "There are three major feng shui disasters: Tai Sui, San Sha, and Wu Huang Zhen Guan Sha. These disasters change positions annually. Construction during these periods can cause misfortune."

Just then, a couple's voices were heard, "Our Wenwen? What happened? Don't scare us!"

The principal paused and whispered to Gu Qin, "If you believe in it, I can have you visit my old house to check."

The principal was stunned. Instead of getting answers, he learned about feng shui. He considered visiting his old house later.

The principal welcomed Wenwen's parents, who were concerned. Wenwen's father asked, "Wenwen, what happened?"

Wenwen apologized to Gu Qin, who remained silent. Her parents decided to take her to the hospital. Before leaving, Wenwen asked to speak to Gu Qin.

The teacher fetched Gu Qin, who agreed to go. In the medical room, Wenwen apologized, "Gu Qin, I'm sorry..."

Gu Qin stood silently, waiting for her to continue. Wenwen trembled, recalling the events.

This time, everyone who had harmed the original body, except for Fu Hanru, even the father of the original body, Gu Qin gave them minor punishments. The main culprit behind the original body's death was the father, along with the father and daughter from the Su family. The father and daughter from the Su family and the dean had already reaped their own consequences, and so had the dean. There was only Gu Yuanjiang left.

Gu Qin had once said that if she completely destroyed Gu Yuanjiang, not only would it create negative karma for the original body, but also for herself. Therefore, she did not plan to let Gu Yuanjiang die. Although she truly disliked Gu Yuanjiang and wished he were dead, there was no way around it. Someone who could sell his own daughter's heart was undoubtedly a person with serious moral issues, and such people were the ones Gu Qin despised the most.

However, he couldn't die. Gu Qin also didn't want to cripple him like Chen Zonggui, because with Luo Wenfen's personality, she would surely just hand the helpless Gu Yuanjiang over to Cheng Yinxiang, which would ultimately become a burden on them. So, Gu Qin planned to give Gu Yuanjiang a trouble caused by romantic entanglements .

"“ trouble caused by romantic entanglements can be good or bad. Good” trouble caused by romantic entanglements is when someone has healthy romantic interactions, while bad trouble caused by romantic entanglements or trouble caused by romantic entanglements refers to disputes or disasters arising from romantic relationships. Gu Qin intended to give Gu Yuanjiang a bad trouble caused by romantic entanglements , so that he wouldn't have the time or energy to harass them anymore.

She had drawn the “ trouble caused by romantic entanglements influence romantic relationships long ago, but there had been some changes in Gu Yuanjiang's situation. Previously, Gu Yuanjiang had always rented houses, but two months ago, he sold his old house and gathered some money with Luo Wenfen to buy an 80-square-meter two-bedroom apartment in Dai Mountain. It cost about 6,000 yuan per square meter, with half as a down payment and the rest for renovation. Therefore, Gu Qin hadn't gone there until now.

It was heard that Gu Yuanjiang had finished renovating his new home and had chosen a lucky day to move in. All of Gu Yuanjiang's relatives attended the celebration. Gu Qin knew about this because Luo Wenfen called her and Gu Jia, telling them that their father had bought a house and seemed quite proud of it. She then told them that if they followed their father, they wouldn't have to keep renting houses anymore.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

When Gu Qin received the call, she didn't hang up immediately but instead asked for the address. Luo Wenfen didn't suspect anything and thought Gu Qin was interested in the new house, so she happily provided the address before hanging up.

Gu Jia, upon receiving the call, showed little interest and didn't say she would attend. In fact, Gu Jia was increasingly dissatisfied with the Gu family and therefore did not go.

Today was Sunday, and Gu Qin decided to handle the matter as soon as possible. The “ trouble caused by romantic entanglements needed several months to take effect, and by July, the villa in Dai Mountain would be ready for occupancy. If Gu Yuanjiang still didn't have a girlfriend by then, he would certainly come to bother them. Therefore, the sooner the better.

Gu Qin knew that Gu Yuanjiang had been running engineering projects recently, seemingly planning to become a contractor in real estate. He was often out, so he was usually not at home during the day. On Saturday morning, Gu Qin went to Gu Yuanjiang's house. The neighborhood wasn't a new one.

As soon as Gu Qin arrived at the bottom of the building, she felt something was off. When she got out of the car, she felt a chill that wasn't just from the cold weather. She couldn't help but open her Heavenly Eye and noticed that the first three floors of the building seemed to be shrouded in a great deal of Yin energy. What's going on?

Before they could walk in, Gu Qin heard a loud bang from behind them. They turned around and saw two cars had collided right at the entrance. One of those cars belonged to Jiang Ni, who had given it to a valet to park. Unexpectedly, the valet backed into another car, and the person who got out of the car was none other than Ji Ziyu.

Ji Ziyu looked over and determined that the valet was fully responsible. The valet's face turned white; he clearly recognized Ji Ziyu. He approached and said, "Young Master Ji..."

Since it was Jiang Ni's car that was hit, there was no way around it. Jiang Ni and Gu Qin could only turn back. Ji Ziyu seemed a bit frustrated, rubbing his forehead, and looked up just in time to see them. Jiang Ni smiled and said, "Brother Ziyu, sorry, you got hit by my car."

Ji Ziyu recognized the car as Jiang Ni's. Both their cars were not cheap, and with the valet being fully responsible, even if both cars were insured, the compensation would still be insufficient. The valet would have to pay a portion of the damages. This was more than enough for the valet.

The valet's face was pale, and another valet came over. Someone couldn't help but whisper, "Xiao Tong is our hotel's best valet, how did this happen? It's really strange. There have been accidents all over the hotel these past few days, and there's always blood involved. The supervisor fell down the stairs and broke his head. And our manager, one day he was fine, then suddenly the chandelier in the lobby fell and hit him. Fortunately, no one died, but the manager's condition is quite serious, and he's still in the hospital."

Gu Qin listened to these words and turned to look at the building again, opening her Heavenly Eye. There were no arrays or evil spells around, and if there truly were arrays causing the Yin energy, it wouldn't just affect the first three floors. It would affect the entire building. She was temporarily unsure of what was happening.

Ji Ziyu seemed to have hit his forehead too, but fortunately, there was no bleeding, just a bruise on his temple. Jiang Ni was also helpless. They both had urgent matters and couldn't handle the situation themselves, so they called the insurance company to handle it. They walked into the building together.

The valet didn't know what to do and approached nervously, "Miss Jiang, Young Master Ji..."

Jiang Ni waved her hand, "It's okay, don't blame him." They wouldn't make things difficult for the valet over such a small matter.

The three of them went up to the second floor by elevator. Jiang Ni laughed and said, "Brother Ziyu, your head okay? Should I ask the valet to bring some ice for you?"

Ji Ziyu rubbed his forehead, "No need, it's nothing." Just as he said that, the elevator suddenly shook, stopped, and the lights flickered twice before turning off. The entire elevator went dark.

Jiang Ni coughed and couldn't help grabbing Gu Qin's arm. "Qin Qin, stay close to me, I'm scared of the dark." She wasn't afraid of snakes, insects, or mice, but she was terrified of the darkness and sealed spaces.

Ji Ziyu had already taken out his phone and turned on the flashlight, instantly illuminating the elevator. Ji Ziyu seemed familiar with the hotel and called someone to come over. Soon, they heard footsteps and the voices of the valet and repairman, "Master, what's wrong with the elevator? It's broken down more than ten times in the last couple of days. How can you fix it?"

The three people in the elevator felt something was off. Jiang Ni and Ji Ziyu couldn't help but recall the valet's words earlier. The hotel was having accidents? After the construction site incident, Jiang Ni was more sensitive to such events and asked Gu Qin in a low voice, "Qin Qin, is something wrong? Is the hotel's feng shui messed up?"

This hotel was the largest five-star hotel in Dai Mountain, rarely experiencing such incidents. The management was sound, and the facilities were excellent, which made business good. They had never heard of such incidents before, but they seemed to start recently. So, Jiang Ni thought maybe the feng shui was the problem.

Gu Qin nodded but didn't say much. She didn't know the details yet.

Jiang Ni's hair stood on end. "Qin Qin, could it be like the construction site? Has someone tampered with the hotel's feng shui?"

Gu Qin shook her head. "No, don't worry." More than that, she couldn't say anything. It wasn't because of a feng shui arrangement. With such intense Yin energy, if it were a feng shui arrangement, the whole building would be affected, not just the first three floors.

The repairman quickly opened the elevator door, which was stuck halfway. They had to climb up to get out. Jiang Ni was about to climb up when Gu Qin suddenly pulled her back, and the elevator suddenly dropped.

Jiang Ni couldn't help but scream as she felt herself plummeting. Ji Ziyu wasn't faring any better. His forehead, which had already been hit earlier, collided with the elevator wall due to the sudden drop, causing him to groan in pain.

This moment was extremely fast. Gu Qin only managed to pull them closer and immediately used a large amount of yuan qi to protect them. Since the elevator was moving upwards to the second floor, neither of them expected it to suddenly drop. In an instant, the elevator fell to the bottom. Luckily, the floors weren't high, and the others didn't feel much harm.

Even at a lower height, an elevator falling suddenly could cause some injuries. Gu Qin protected them with yuan qi, so they were fine, but she consumed a lot of yuan qi, making her face pale.

Finally, the elevator stopped moving. Voices from above could be heard—the valets' screams and the chaotic footsteps, probably looking for help or calling the police.

Jiang Ni was even more frightened. If not for Gu Qin pulling her, she would have climbed out halfway. The sudden drop of the elevator made her unable to imagine what might have happened next.

Gu Qin also found it strange. Before entering the hotel, she hadn't seen any disaster signs on Jiang Ni's face. It must have happened after entering the hotel and being exposed to the intense Yin energy. Being in such a place could lead to unexpected disasters, especially since the incident happened within two minutes after entering the hotel, making it a sudden event, so Jiang Ni's face didn't show any signs.

But there was another possibility: this incident might have something to do with her, so it wouldn't appear on Jiang Ni's face. If it was related to her, the Heavenly Machine wouldn't reveal it. This meant the Yin energy was actually targeting her. Gu Qin was completely puzzled. The hotel looked fine from the outside, but inside, something felt off.

The elevator finally reached the bottom, and several people opened the elevator shaft door, allowing them to exit.

Afterwards, Jiang Ni's legs were still trembling. Two valets supported her as she walked out. Ji Ziyu was better; although he was a bit dazed, his legs were still steady.

The deputy manager came over and apologized repeatedly. Behind them, the valets whispered, "How eerie. The elevator has been malfunctioning frequently, but never as frightening as today. Why did it suddenly fall? Is there something wrong with the hotel?"

"Unlikely?" Another valet said, "Everything was fine until a couple of days ago when they mentioned holding a charity auction here. Ever since the items started arriving, everything has gone wrong. Ah..."

Gu Qin's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't ask further.

All three were fine, and the deputy manager asked if they needed to go to the hospital. Jiang Ni shook her head, "We'll just sit here for a while and go up later." She was too weak to stand, and without Gu Qin pulling her, she might have been seriously injured.

They sat in the hall for a while until Jiang Ni regained her composure. They avoided the elevator and took the stairs up to the second floor.

The second-floor hall was arranged like an auction venue, with red carpets laid out. They sat according to their invitation cards. Gu Qin and Jiang Ni were seated next to each other, and Ji Ziyu was behind them. After sitting down, Ji Ziyu asked, "Aini, are you okay?"
