I started by signing in to a billionaire sister

Chapter 367 I Have a Plan
"Why are you coming to these mountains at night instead of staying home to sleep?" The old man's face, combined with the faint upward-shining firelight, looked rather eerie.

"Old man, do you know where Hu Guanglie lives?" Chen Wei asked, getting straight to the point.

"What do you want with him?" the old man asked, puzzled.

"My sister was accidentally poisoned by a Gu curse, and I'm looking for him to find a way to break the curse," Chen Wei said without hiding anything.

The old man walked down the slope, glanced back at the group, and said, "Come with me."

"Okay, thank you."

I opened the door and walked into the courtyard; the door to the inner room was not closed.

After the kerosene lamp was extinguished and placed on the table, the old man took out a crumpled pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He used a hand-operated lighter, but after trying for a long time, he could only get sparks without lighting a flame.

"Use mine," Chen Wei said, offering a lighter he had on him.

"Thank you."

With a snap, he lit a cigarette, inhaled, and exhaled. "Tell me, which of you has been bewitched?"

"You are Hu Guanglie?" Chen Wei confirmed.

"If you don't believe me, I'll go get your household registration book."

"No need, no need," Chen Wei stopped him.

He immediately grabbed Su Yumeng's wrist and pulled her closer, saying, "It's her."

"This thing is so lively and energetic, it doesn't look like it's from the Chinese..."

Halfway through his sentence, Hu Guanglie's gaze suddenly fell on the ring on Su Yumeng's right hand. Before he could exhale a puff of smoke, he choked and coughed.

Raising her hand, she wiped away her tears and asked Su Yumeng, "Who put this ring on your finger?"

"I don't know, I was already wearing it by the time I realized it," Su Yumeng shook her head.

"This thing is called the 'Revenge Ring.' It's coated with the blood plasma of a poisonous insect. Once worn, the blood plasma will gradually seep into the skin, affecting the mind of the person afflicted..."

What Hu Guanglie said was basically the same as Chen Wei's guess; he just couldn't be sure what kind of Gu poisonous blood it was.

"Old man, do you have any way to break this poison?" Chen Wei asked bluntly.

"It's simple in some ways, but difficult in others. There's a cliff in the back of this mountain, and right in the middle of the cliff grows a kind of herb called snake heart grass. If you crush it and brew it into water, you can break the curse."

Snake heart grass...

"Is it smeared with the blood of a child with bound feet?" Chen Wei confirmed.

"Oh!" Upon hearing this, Hu Guanglie raised his eyes in surprise and looked at Chen Wei. "You can identify what kind of poison it is just by looking at the herbs. It seems that you are quite remarkable as well."

"I've always been interested in this kind of knowledge, so I've spent time learning about it, but I'm nowhere near as knowledgeable as you, sir," Chen Wei said modestly.

"Not arrogant or impatient, very good." Hu Guanglie greatly admired Chen Wei, so he said, "If you really want to get the snake heart grass, I have ropes and other tools in my backyard. Feel free to use them. As for whether they are long enough, I don't know."

"Thank you, sir." In fact, thanks to the reward for being an extreme adventure expert that Chen Wei had previously signed in, he could easily reach the middle of the cliff and obtain the snake heart grass without ropes.

However, in order not to arouse suspicion, Chen Wei decided that it would be better to bring it along.

"Sister, Yumeng, wait for me here, I'll be right back." Chen Wei came out of the room, carrying a large bundle of hemp rope wrapped around his shoulder.

"Can……"

"Don't worry, I'll be careful." Chen Wei told Su Qingyue not to worry about him. With a system, how could a man be afraid of not being able to handle a small cliff?
"Okay, then be careful."

Just as Chen Wei was about to leave, a group of people suddenly burst in, carrying sickles, axes, and other such weapons.

"Hu Guanglie, you old bastard, are you deliberately trying to go against me!" The leader was a bald man wearing a white tank top and covered in fat. "I don't know what you're talking about," Hu Guanglie said, feigning ignorance.

"Damn it, stop pretending with me. Who else in this village would be so bored as to release all the scorpions and centipedes I've been raising?"

"You believe in that stuff yourself, so can you please stop harming me? It's not easy for me to run a farm stay, how many times have I put up with you?" The man in the vest raised his sickle high, his anger obvious.

"I'll pay for whatever those insects are worth." Chen Wei understood Hu Guanglie's feelings and considered it repayment for his help in removing the curse.

"You'll pay for him?" The man in the vest only just noticed the presence of Chen Wei, Su Qingyue, and Su Yumeng.

What a beautiful woman!

It has to be admitted that not only the man in the vest, but also several young men behind him had never seen anyone as beautiful as Su Qingyue and Su Yumeng in their entire lives.

My gaze immediately went straight to them.

But remembering that he still had important business to attend to, he quickly snapped out of it, coughed a few times, and held up three fingers. "Considering the manpower and financial resources, this matter won't be finished without three thousand yuan."

"What's your bank card number?" Chen Wei asked directly.

Shortly after, the man in the vest received a text message confirming the successful transfer.

Exactly three thousand yuan, not a penny more, not a penny less.

"Alright, you've met your savior today. If you dare cause me trouble again, don't blame me for not showing any mercy. I'll chop you up, you old bastard!" After getting the money, the man in the vest left with his group.

"I don't have that much money to pay you back," Hu Guanglie stated beforehand.

"It's alright, consider it my payment for your medical expenses." Chen Wei told Hu Guanglie not to worry about it, then walked out of the courtyard gate and headed towards the back mountain.

Soon, Chen Wei found the cliff location that Hu Guanglie had mentioned, where he could find the snake heart grass. He tied a rope to a tree and threw it down.

It was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything.

Grasp the rope with both hands, jump down quickly, and land.

Three or four minutes later, a group of people followed and emerged from the darkness.

"Brother, are we really going to do this?"

"Killing someone is punishable by death."

"What are you afraid of? Is it strange that you might fall off a cliff and die because the rope wasn't tied tightly enough?"

It was the man in the vest and his gang who arrived.

"I don't think it's worth doing something like this for two women."

"What do you mean they're not worth it? Were you blind in the dark and didn't see how pretty they were?" the man in the vest said unhappily. "Besides, if they can give away three thousand yuan without batting an eye, do you think they have little money on them?"

"I think my brother is right. We'll be able to play with women and have money to spend. Isn't that great?"

"If we let them 'greet guests,' our agritainment business will definitely be even better, hehehe."

"However, didn't that old guy Hu Guanglie say he could use witchcraft? Isn't it bad for us to cause trouble in front of him like this?"

"In all these years, who has actually seen him use witchcraft?" the man in the white vest retorted.

"That's true." The man was convinced.

"I have a plan. Later, Third Brother will tell those two women that he heard screams and ask them to come and see. Then, we'll ambush them here and take advantage of the situation," the man in the white vest revealed his plan.

Without further ado, he loosened the knot. "Damn, that was really tight!"
