Chapter 223:Side Wealth Bureau

　　Besides these two, who else could it be?

　　Lu Fei couldn't guess either.

　　He was just a small pawnshop owner, collecting and selling supernatural objects, and he hadn't offended anyone.

　　"Brother Lu, no matter who it is, they can't slander our Sinisterium Pawnshop," Liu Fugui said indignantly. "But there's good news; those negative posts online were somehow taken down by Chairman Su, and they didn't cause a stir."

　　"When Chairman Su heard that someone was slandering Sinisterium Pawnshop, he was furious and declared that whoever dares to say bad things about Sinisterium Pawnshop will not be able to survive in Jiangcheng!"

　　"I didn't expect this small matter to trouble Chairman Su." Lu Fei was somewhat surprised and also very grateful.

　　"The golden sign of Sinisterium Pawnshop cannot be shaken by a few rumors." Liu Fugui said with force.

　　"Even so, we can't let them off! My father taught me not to hit women, but these two are too much. They couldn't buy the treasure, so they spread lies behind our backs. Only a fist can teach them a lesson!" Hu Zi rolled up his sleeves.

　　"Hu Zi, we are law-abiding citizens, how can we do something like going to their door and hitting them? Besides, if we go and ask them directly, how could they admit it?" Lu Fei shook his head.

　　"We can't just let this go, can we?" Hu Zi clenched his fists tightly.

　　"Of course not. Someone will do it for us," Lu Fei said with a smile.

　　"Who?" Liu Fugui was full of curiosity.

　　It was a long story, and Lu Fei was too lazy to explain. He just said that he would know when the time came.

　　"Every time you keep us in suspense!" Liu Fugui was itching with curiosity and caught Hu Zi to ask, finally giving him a pack of Hua cigarettes, and only then did Hu Zi tell him about collecting the blood jade.

　　"Wow, such good jade must be worth a lot, right? It's a pity, though; it's a live pawn, not a dead one."

　　Liu Fugui's eyes first lit up, but then he stomped his foot in regret.

　　But for Lu Fei, there was nothing to be sorry about. That piece of jade was only worth a bit of money and had no special value; he wasn't very interested in it.

　　This trip wasn't without its gains.

　　The number of evil objects he had encountered increased by one, and there was also the matter of someone running errands to fetch people.

　　It took only two days of waiting.

　　Dong Shanhai and Hu Guidong came to his door.

　　However, there were only the two of them, no one else.

　　Strangely enough, after the evil spirit in the jade was laid to rest, Dong Shanhai's damaged finger miraculously healed overnight.

　　But today, their skin was red and covered with small bumps, as if they had an allergic reaction.

　　"Mr. Lu, as soon as I woke up, I immediately went to find the person. I found the one who was talking nonsense. I was going to bring him to you, but something strange happened."

　　Dong Shanhai put the gift on the table and hurriedly explained, afraid that Lu Fei would misunderstand.

　　"Manager Lu, I can vouch for this! I went with Brother Dong to find the person!" Hu Guidong said earnestly.

　　"What's this strange matter?" Lu Fei became curious.

　　"The person spreading the rumor is named Zhu Jinfeng, known as Sister Feng. She runs a beauty salon, and my girlfriend often goes there for facials, so they got to know each other well over time."

　　"My girlfriend knows about my mine too."

　　"That day, I called her, and she was getting a facial. Somehow, Sister Feng overheard the conversation and said a lot of bad things about Sinisterium Pawnshop, which is why I..."

　　Dong Shanhai explained emphatically.

　　"It's also my fault for not clarifying..."

　　"Mr. Dong, let's move on from this. Tell me about the strange matter." Lu Fei waved his hand.

　　"When we arrived in Jiangcheng, we went straight to Sister Feng's beauty salon, but the strange thing was, as soon as I reached the entrance of her salon, all my anger disappeared."

　　"Whatever they said, we believed, and we were tricked into getting spa treatments several times, spending a lot of money, completely forgetting what we were supposed to do."

　　"Not only me, but Little Brother Hu was also tricked!"

　　"Little Brother Hu is a respectable person who never gets involved with women, yet he was also fooled. I don't know what kind of massage oil they used, but after we got home, our bodies turned red and itchy, and rashes appeared all over."

　　Dong Shanhai and Hu Guidong showed a bitter smile.

　　"We had no other choice. We were also worried that Manager Lu would wait too long, so we thought we should come and tell you first."

　　"You two aren't the type to be easily brainwashed by whatever they say." Lu Fei also found it very strange.

　　Some shops will go to any lengths to promote their services, but these two are business owners; how could they be so easily deceived?

　　Especially someone like Hu Guidong, who never does anything out of line.

　　"We both felt something was off. The moment we went there, it was like we were under a spell, completely out of control. Manager Lu, would you mind going there to check things out?"

　　Dong Shanhai wiped his sweat and asked cautiously.

　　"Okay. "

　　Lu Fei also wanted to know what was going on, so he immediately followed the two to Madam Feng's beauty salon.

　　The car stopped across the street.

　　The car window rolled down.

　　Lu Fei turned his head to look at the beauty salon and first smelled a faint, unusual fragrance.

　　The beauty salon was very upscale, with two floors.

　　Female customers were coming and going from time to time, making it look like the business was booming.

　　"There's something wrong with this fragrance. "

　　Lu Fei said in a low voice.

　　"When we smell this fragrance, we feel a bit dizzy. " Dong Shanhai rubbed his nose and said.

　　"It seems to be the Soul Bewitching Incense."

　　Lu Fei slightly narrowed his eyes, took out his phone, and snapped a photo of the beauty salon's lobby, then zoomed in to take a closer look.

　　Behind the reception desk, there was an offering table, on which stood a golden Taotie statue.

　　The Taotie had its mouth wide open, facing the entrance, as if it were ready to swallow every customer who walked through the door.

　　"The Taotie swallows gold, only taking in and never letting out!"

　　Lu Fei suddenly understood.

　　"This is a very powerful Feng Shui layout for attracting extra wealth. Any customer who goes in will not leave the premises until they have emptied their pockets."

　　"First, bewitch them, then take their money!"

　　"This Sister Feng is really not your ordinary greedy person!"

　　"No wonder we couldn't control ourselves once we got there! They were using such despicable means!" Dong Shanhai scratched at the red rash on his body, feeling both angry and resentful.

　　"I was saying, the massage oil at the beauty salon is so bad that even we, with our thick skin, got allergic reactions. How could those women stand it, yet none of them went to cause trouble for the beauty salon? It turns out, they were all bewitched! She's running a real scam here!" Hu Guidong said indignantly.

　　"Boss, this fat lady has such a black heart, we can't let her off!" Tiger rubbed his hands together eagerly.

　　"She makes money through such immoral means; once the Feng Shui layout for windfall profits is broken, naturally, troubles will follow." Lu Fei sneered.

　　"The glutton takes in but never gives out. Although it's powerful in absorbing wealth, its weakness is very obvious—a single magnet is enough to suppress it. Then, apply cinnabar to the glutton's eyes, and the Feng Shui layout for windfall profits will be naturally broken."

　　Dong Shanhai worriedly said, "Manager Lu, the method is simple, but the problem is that once we smell the fragrance, we can't control ourselves and can't pass those things along."

　　Lu Fei laughed, "You go buy a piece of stinky tofu and hold it in your mouth; it will ensure you are not affected by the hypnotic fragrance."

　　"A piece of stinky tofu will do?"

　　Dong Shanhai and Hu Guidong were very surprised.

　　"The stinkier, the better!"

　　"Alright, then I'll give it a try!"

　　To show his sincerity, Dong Shanhai decided to break the偏财局 himself.

　　After purchasing all the items, he put stinky tofu in his mouth, took a deep breath, and walked into the beauty salon.
