Ji Chenggong exchanged a look with his eldest son Ji Changlong and second son Ji Changfa. Although somewhat surprised, they were not particularly shocked. After all, with so many strange events happening in the family, it was normal for them to feel uneasy and troubled, affecting their rest. "The Ji Family has been targeted." Xia Mian lowered her eyes slightly, concealing all her thoughts. Ever since Ji Hua almost collided with them that night, the Ji Family’s destiny had become intertwined with hers. It seemed as if an invisible hand was controlling everything, drawing all troubles toward her. Ji Chenggong’s old face darkened slightly, "Could Miss Xia possibly help our Ji Family break this?" Ji Chenggong had taken over the Ji Family from the previous generation, diligently working his whole life, forgoing sleep and meals, just to secure the Ji Family’s current status in Beijing. If harmed, his life’s efforts would be in vain! Xia Mian glanced at Ji Chenggong indifferently and nodded gently, "I can." Xia Mian didn’t know who was targeting her in the shadows, but she lived her reborn life with carefree abandon. Whatever came her way, she would fend it off, regardless of the formidable spirits behind it, destroying one at a time if needed. Though Xia Mian was young, her words were bold. Ji Chenggong couldn’t help but frown again and looked at Ji Changxing with a complex expression. The look seemed to say: Is this little girl reliable? She hadn’t even understood or investigated the Ji Family’s situation before boasting? Ji Changxing quickly signaled his father, almost cramping his eyes from squinting. Anyone could be doubted, but not Xia Mian! After Xia Mian helped Ji Changxing break the black magic, he had yet to dare enter the room that had trapped Ji Changxing! "Mr. Ji, please take me around the Ji Family!" Xia Mian stood up, ignoring Ji Chenggong’s doubts. Ji Changxing quickly stood up, "Miss Xia, where would you like to go and take a look?" "The ancestral home, the company, and if convenient, the ancestral graves too," Xia Mian said leisurely. Ji Changxing eagerly agreed, "Convenient, convenient!" Ji Changxing said this as he invited Xia Mian out the door. Lu Zechuan followed silently behind Xia Mian, his eyes inscrutable. Ji Changlong and Ji Changfa stood up with slight coughs, pushing Ji Chenggong along as they followed out the door. They had only heard from Ji Changxing how powerful Xia Mian was, but they had not seen it firsthand. Hearing might be false; seeing is believing. They had to follow and take a look, lest their foolish brother had been deceived! Ji Changxing drove the extended Lincoln, taking Xia Mian, Lu Zechuan, and the entire Ji family directly to their ancestral home. Large families usually have their customs, particularly regarding an ancestral home. During renovations, they would invite a Feng Shui master to examine the Feng Shui. Some inherently blessed locations can protect the inhabitants, promising generations of prosperity and happiness. However, where there is Feng Shui, there could be a break. Once the Feng Shui is broken, a blessed land could turn into a place of extreme ferocity, backfiring on its owners. The Ji family’s ancestral home is within the second ring of the Capital City, a large quadrangle courtyard. Surrounded by bustling commercial districts, such a large courtyard in the city takes on the meaning of tranquility amidst chaos. Xia Mian stood on a high ground, carefully examining the Ji’s ancestral home. It was built squarely, like a chessboard, with small structures embellishing it, forming a poised stance as if two masters were playing a game. But, behind the quadrangle, a commercial building rose abruptly, casting a shadow inside the courtyard. As the sun moved, the shadow shifted, turning the once poised chess game into a scene of mortal combat. Xia Mian squinted her eyes slightly and pointed to the commercial building, "Whose is that building?" Ji Chenggong was stunned, "Does that building pose a problem for us?" That shouldn’t be the case. The building had been standing for four or five years; if there were issues, they shouldn’t be recent! Xia Mian chuckled, "Indeed, it does pose a problem. It hadn’t shown before because the harm hadn’t reached a certain level." With the shadow descending, the chess game inside the Ji Family’s ancestral home immediately turned into a battlefield! "Who did the Ji Family invite for Feng Shui advice when renovating the ancestral home?" Xia Mian casually asked another question. Hearing this, Ji Chenggong fell into deep thought, "It’s been a long time; I can’t quite recall." Xia Mian wasn’t in a hurry, merely curling her lips leisurely, "No rush, Mr. Ji, you can take your time to remember." Ji Chenggong racked his brains but couldn’t recall anything clearly. It was Ji Changxing who suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Miss Xia, I remember! It was a woman!" Xia Mian lowered her gaze slightly, amusement playing in her eyes, "A woman?" "Yes! At the time, I had a good relationship with Gu Heng. Gu Heng said he knew a woman who was highly knowledgeable about this stuff. I thought that since the Gu Family had just started prospering in those years, it might have had something to do with that woman examining their ancestral home..." Ji Changxing said seriously. A woman? Introduced by Gu Heng? Xia Mian squinted thoughtfully, "Did Gu Heng ever mention the woman’s name?" If her guess was correct, the woman was likely Gu Zhi’s mother. According to Lu Zechuan’s findings, Gu Zhi’s biological mother’s background was extremely mysterious! "Her surname? Gu Heng didn’t say, but I heard him call her Ah Mi." Ji Changxing paused, "Gu Heng was truly fond of her then! They were inseparable, just like you and Mr. Lu are now..." "What a pity..." Ji Changxing sighed, "Beauty is often envied. Not long after our ancestral home was completed, that woman mysteriously died." "Beauty is often envied?" Xia Mian softly repeated these four words. Perhaps, it wasn’t that simple. Murong Shuang was terrified and couldn’t eat or sleep because of a hint of peculiarity from Shen Xiang, going to great lengths to kill her. Would Gu Heng, being so deep-minded, keep someone so unfathomable by his side knowingly? "Miss Xia, is this related to the Feng Shui of our house being broken?" Ji Changxing, having recounted Gu Heng and Ah Mi’s history, turned back to his family’s concern. Xia Mian nodded slightly, "Yes, this house was set up from the very beginning." The efforts of three generations of the Ji family were merely to accumulate momentum for the ancestral home. Once that momentum became strong enough and substantial, it would be borrowed! This might sound mysterious, but once a family’s momentum is borrowed, its decline becomes inevitable! "Did the Gu family harm us?" Ji Changxing frowned, almost blurting out instinctively. Xia Mian pursed her lips slightly, "Perhaps, the Gu family was a victim too." Last time, when she attended a banquet at the Gu Family, she witnessed the Feng Shui of their ancestral home firsthand, which was indeed a first-class Feng Shui blessed land. Such a place, when gathering momentum, could be immensely terrifying! Once this momentum became a climate, it could possibly give rise to a new noble family!
