I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 592 - 431 Unscientific_2

Moreover, He Youling hadn’t asked him to go.

At the same time, as if sensing Wu Tong’s thoughts, He Youling gestured toward her before speaking to Xia Liang at the entrance.

"Master Xia, what about this young lady? Do you need her to accompany you?"

"No, I’m not familiar with her."

After speaking, Xia Liang got into the He Family’s car waiting at the door. Hearing his words, He Youling turned to look at Wu Tong again. Not familiar with her? If they weren’t familiar, why would she have come shopping with him? He thought for a moment. It’s better to err on the side of caution than to miss an opportunity.

Thinking this, He Youling smiled at Wu Tong, then beckoned the manager over before addressing her.

"You must be Miss Wu Tong. We have some matters to attend to, so we’ll be leaving now. Please, feel free to take anything you like from the store as a small gift from me. In the future, I hope you might put in a few good words for me with Master Xia. Here is my contact information; feel free to reach out if you need anything."

Ignoring the stunned gazes from everyone around, He Youling handed his personal business card to Wu Tong and walked out of the jewelry store.

The other staff and the manager watched Wu Tong with eyes full of envy. In all of Haojiang, aside from members of the He Family itself, the number of people who had He Youling’s personal phone number could be counted on two hands. They were almost all titans of their respective industries. And now, Wu Tong was one of them. Thanks to Xia Liang, she had likely established a connection with the He Family, and at He Youling’s own initiative no less.

Yet, faced with countless envious stares, Wu Tong couldn’t bring herself to feel happy. She still hadn’t gotten Xia Liang’s contact information.

Forget it. I know where Master Xia is staying now, anyway. If worse comes to worst, Lin Tian has his number, so I can just ask him. But right now, I have more important things to do. Turning back to look at the dazzling array of jewelry in the shop, a look of excitement spread across her face. Even becoming a dog for Master Xia would be worth it.

In the Haojiang Seaside Villa Area, as the wealthiest man in Haojiang, He Youling—not even counting the properties owned by his children—personally owned nearly a dozen villas. Each one was a top-tier luxury mansion, with the least expensive costing upwards of ten million Yuan.

He Youling and his son brought Xia Liang to one of these villas in the Linhai Villa District. Half an hour after leaving the commercial street, the silhouette of the villa came into view. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

It was a four-story structure with two private swimming pools, and each floor boasted several hundred square meters of space. It also came with an immense backyard. Even within this exclusive seaside district, this villa was one of the largest. Because He Xiaojun had called ahead, the butler and numerous servants were already waiting at the entrance.

Among them, several men in black suits caught Xia Liang’s eye. The muscles beneath their suits looked ready to burst. They were clearly top-notch bodyguards. In the parking lot, several cars worth hundreds of thousands of Yuan were already parked, with some even valued at over a million.

Seeing such a magnificent villa, Xia Liang remained unfazed, merely nodding.

"Not bad."

Hearing Xia Liang’s soft-spoken words, He Youling seemed to understand something. He nodded and promptly said, "Welcome, Master Xia. This villa is now yours."

Before He Youling could finish, Xia Liang waved his hand, refusing outright.

"That’s not necessary. I won’t be residing in Haojiang."

While Haojiang was an incredibly prosperous city, one of the world’s top four entertainment hubs, it wasn’t a place Xia Liang liked. "Visiting is fine, but I have no intention of living here."

"Then where would you like to settle, Master Xia? I will buy the best house in that area and gift it to you."

"No need."

Shaking his head, Xia Liang watched as the car pulled up to the villa’s entrance. The moment he stepped out, the dozen or so people standing there bowed in unison. With a silent nod, Xia Liang walked towards the villa, accompanied by He Youling and his son.

"Master Xia, the first time I encountered something strange was..." He Youling began, trying to explain when the bizarre events started, but Xia Liang shook his head and cut him off.

"There’s no need to tell me. I already know everything."

"You already know?" He Youling was shocked. Although he knew Xia Liang possessed terrifying abilities, could he really know the exact time and date he had encountered these strange phenomena? There were details even he couldn’t recall clearly anymore.

Xia Liang continued, "The first time was on the evening of June 14th, at eight o’clock. You encountered it in the bathroom after you finished reading the newspaper. Is that correct?"

"Correct, perfectly correct," He Youling said, shaking his head rapidly. "Master Xia, your foresight is truly divine. I’m afraid nothing can escape your discerning eyes."

Though they had tried to prepare themselves, hearing Xia Liang state the exact time left both He Youling and his son stunned. They exchanged a look, a shared shock in their eyes. They had hired many Taoist priests before, but those men would always ask endless questions, pretending to be experts. Yet, when faced with a real problem, each one proved more cowardly than the last.

As they spoke, the three of them entered the villa.

A quick glance around was enough for Xia Liang to nod in approval. As expected of Haojiang’s wealthiest man. Although they hadn’t owned the villa for long, it had been renovated into a palace—perhaps even more luxurious than a real one. All the furniture was top-of-the-line and custom-made. The calligraphy, paintings, and various antiques scattered about the Grand Hall were all priceless. From their vantage point, they could also see the swimming pool not far away. Even the many estates of the great families that Xia Liang had visited before paled in comparison to this place.

"Master Xia, those strange things usually appear at night. Would you like to investigate now, or wait until this evening?"

"Let’s wait. I’m also very curious to see what these things really are," Xia Liang replied, a grin spreading across his face, his expression filled with anticipation.

「A few hours later, as the sun set in the west, night enveloped all of Haojiang.」

The Linhai Villa fell silent. At Xia Liang’s request, the maids and the butler had temporarily left the building and were waiting in the garden, leaving just the three men inside. Xia Liang, He Youling, and He Xiaojun sat in the Grand Hall, an excited look on Xia Liang’s face.

"Will it appear tonight?" he asked. He had come here specifically to witness this, and it would be a real letdown if nothing happened.

"Strange things have been happening for the past two nights, Master Xia. Please be patient," He Xiaojun said, wiping a bead of sweat from his forehead. For them, nightfall had become a source of dread, and several maids had been frightened to the point of illness. Yet this Master Xia seemed thrilled, as if he was afraid he would miss the show. Master Xia truly is no ordinary person, they both thought.

「Another half hour passed.」

Suddenly, the faces of He Youling and He Xiaojun grew tense and pale. The thing they had been waiting for had finally arrived.

A miserable, wailing cry echoed from the second floor. Though faint, every sob was unnervingly clear.

Xia Liang said excitedly, "They’re here!"

He knew that besides the three of them, there was no one else in the villa. This crying was definitely not normal. Perhaps otherworldly, non-human forces truly existed in this world.

"You two wait here. I’m going up to have a look."

Without waiting for a reply, Xia Liang dashed up to the second floor. The crying was coming from one of the rooms. Following the sound, he excitedly approached the door, opened it, and reached for the light switch. Oddly, the light flickered twice and then died. However, Xia Liang wasn’t bothered. He Youling had already warned him this might happen.
