CHAPTER 1131: CHAPTER 1130: FOUNDATION

Master Liu and his disciple first went inside and used the compass to adjust the positions, drawing lines with limestone powder at five points: due south, due north, due east, due west, and the center.

At exactly nine in the morning, the construction crew and laborers began excavating simultaneously with excavators at those points.

In fact, it was almost the same location as where the coffins had been buried before, only now they were making the original location larger.

As the excavators continued digging without interruption, after the pit was dug, the laborers began by pouring quick-setting cement around it, then lifting the crystal coffins out from the truck and carefully placing them into the pit. Around the coffins, they laid wooden boards and steel bars, then added cement and gravel, finally covering it with soil on top.

After being secured so tightly, the crystal coffins would not be damaged unless someone excavated nearby.

The workers from the construction crew and laborers who helped were given red envelopes by Manager Han, but he did not give them personally, as he did not have that much money; it was given by the Su Family.

However, Manager Han stated that no one should speak about this matter.

Once everything was completed, Master Liu, assured that there were no problems, prepared to leave with his disciple.

It was already past twelve noon.

As Manager Han escorted Master Liu and his disciple out of the site, Steward Su was waiting outside.

"Master Liu, how are things?"

"Steward Su, it is all set. You can choose an auspicious day to start the construction."

"Master Liu, Chairman Su also said to proceed according to your planning map."

"That would be best."

Master Liu said.

With nine giant coffins buried below and another one shown on the planning map above, Master Liu felt that it should largely suppress the demons and ghosts here.

However, he also knew that even when this place becomes a commercial building, such occurrences might still happen occasionally.

Because in a place like this, such things cannot be completely avoided.

Master Liu shook his head, understanding that he could only minimize the losses; otherwise, he knew that more lives might be endangered.

"Let us head back first."

Master Liu and his disciple got into the car, and Steward Su took them to have a meal first.

After they finished eating at a restaurant, Steward Su handed Master Liu a red envelope.

Master Liu did not accept it.

"Steward Su, I have already received payment from the Su family, so I won’t take this money."

"Master Liu, thank you so much for helping the Su Family solve such a big problem. You truly deserve to be known as Jinling’s Feng Shui Master."

"There’s no need to thank me. It’s what I should do."

When Steward Su drove Master Liu and his disciple back to their suburban house, after the two got out, Steward Su returned home, relieved to finally finish this matter that had taken more than a week.

...

Back at the Su Family Courtyard, Su Wen was already in the study of his private villa, waiting for Steward Su to return.

"How did it go?"

Su Wen asked upon seeing Steward Su.

"Family Head, everything was done as Master Liu instructed. Although I didn’t see it myself, Manager Han and others were there to witness it. Master Liu had them dig a deep pit, fill the surroundings with quick-setting concrete, and then place the crystal coffins inside, protected with wooden boards and steel bars. Master Liu said that as long as no one excavates there, everything around will remain undisturbed."

"Then why did things happen before, even though the coffins were buried?"

Su Wen asked in confusion.

"Family Head, from what I heard from Master Liu, it was because the coffins had been buried there by Master Liu Bowen for too long, and many of the talismans had slowly started losing their effectiveness. And because Master Yuan had them dug out, that led to such incidents. With the current setup of crystal coffins buried below and others on top, Master Liu assured that everything is safe now, and construction can proceed."

"Then get ready. There is plenty of gossip outside now. When construction begins tomorrow, remember to spend money to invite the reporters from Jinling over and have them speak positively and promote it. I trust there are still many who do not believe in superstitions about ghosts and spirits."

Su Wen said.

Of course, Steward Su would not need to handle this matter further; it was up to the head of the Su Group’s real estate subsidiary to deal with it.

Now Su Wen only needed to make a call to the vice president.

"You’ve worked hard during this period; take a good rest!"

Su Wen said.

Steward Su, having had lunch with Master Liu and his disciple, left Su Wen’s study and went to rest in his room.

Meanwhile, Su Wen called the vice president responsible for the real estate under the Su Group, assigning him to manage this matter.

"Chairman, I understand now."

Vice President Luo Wenhua said.

...

The next morning, Luo Wenhua, as well as relevant real estate personnel, other representatives from the Su Group, city government representatives, and invited reporters, gathered on-site in what was a very lively scene.

Everyone was equipped with brand-new shovels, standing in the middle of this neglected area. As reporters took photographs, each person scooped earth onto the ’groundbreaking’ monument with their shovels, after which Su Group’s Vice President Luo Wenhua and other relevant personnel took the stage to give speeches.

And many of the reporters, having received red envelopes, would undoubtedly have positive things to say in their reports.

As for the earlier rumors, such as the discovery of nine giant coffins, the death of the Feng Shui master on the road, issues with the company executives, and accidents among the laborers, they were soon drowned out.

Because now, it seemed nobody believed in those stories anymore, as they would soon be overshadowed by real estate advertisements, and the area was being promoted as the new development center of Jinling.

...

Far away at the Eastern Castle in France, Ye Qiu, having resolved matters with the wine and perfume companies, did not spend much time in France this time.

But now that all issues were settled, it would naturally not take more than a month before returning home.

Although Louise had company affairs to busy herself with, she found it hard to part with Ye Qiu. However, with Ye Qiu returning to his country, there was nothing she could do.

After Housekeeper Eugene sold most of the wine, the money, besides a portion used for the Eastern Castle and vineyard, was mostly invested by Ye Qiu into the Mediterranean Group.

For now, the focus remains on high-end clothing and luxury perfumes, with jewelry being a future development goal for the company.

"Young Master Ye, are you really heading back?"

Housekeeper Eugene asked.

"Of course, with the problem resolved, naturally I’m going back. As for the next visit, I don’t know when that might be."
