All realms have enabled me to achieve the Great Dao.
Chapter 200 Orphanage
When Wu Changji returned home, he inquired about his wife and second son.
"That brat keeps pestering me for money, and he's asking for a lot, millions. I didn't agree to his demands and stormed out."
Upon hearing this, Wu Changji knew that his second son was probably planning to spend money to deal with them.
Thinking of this, Wu Changji suddenly felt a pang of sadness. Spending his own money to have someone else kill him—no one could bear that.
After sitting at home for a while, Wu Changji went to a private investigation agency.
“If Chairman Wu has something to do, he can just send someone to call me. There’s no need for you to come all the way here yourself.”
Wu Changji had asked them for favors before, so they were quite familiar with each other.
“It’s a family matter. I need your help to investigate Wu Yuanjie. I need to know all his movements in the last two days, who he has been in contact with, and everything he has done.”
The boss, intrigued by this, spent money to investigate his own son. These kinds of things are just gossip.
"No problem, we are professionals in this area."
Wu Changji left a deposit of tens of thousands of yuan and then left.
The next day at noon, Wu Changji received a report that said Wu Yuanjie was hanging out with some thugs and doing drugs. The report said that Wu Yuanjie was planning to place an order on the dark web to kill Wu Changji and Wu Yuanlong. In the morning, he went in and out of loan shark companies to borrow money at high interest rates.
Upon seeing this, Wu Changji felt his blood rush to his head, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.
If Wu Yuanlong hadn't returned and discovered this, Wu Changji probably wouldn't have survived until the assassins arrived.
Wu Yuanlong also saw the investigation report and was shocked. He quickly took his father to the hospital and then found his friends at the police station to tell them what had happened. Wu Yuanjie was arrested at a friend's house while browsing the dark web.
Wu Yuanjie and all his cronies were arrested, allowing Wu Changji and Wu Yuanlong to escape this ordeal unscathed.
In the courtyard of the Taoist temple, Zhou Yongcheng shook his head. There were quite a few families like the Wu family that staged the Xuanwu Gate Incident to fight for their family property. Many of them succeeded, but many others failed.
In any world, when power and interests are involved, it doesn't matter whether they are father and son or brothers; they will fight to the death.
Zhou Yongcheng then looked in Cheng Yong's direction. This guy wasn't focused on selling medicine; he was always hanging out with Liu Sihui. Zhou Yongcheng knew what Cheng Yong was thinking. He was waiting for the first batch of patients to be cured so that he would have more credibility and be able to sell medicine more easily without facing any doubts.
That morning, Zhou Yongcheng carried a box down the mountain.
He walked along a road for about half an hour and arrived at the gate of a somewhat dilapidated orphanage.
In the courtyard of the orphanage, several children were helping a woman in her fifties with her work. The youngest child was only a few years old, and the oldest was around ten years old. There were not many children; including the director, there were fewer than ten people.
The yard was filled with all kinds of vegetables, and the children were happily clearing weeds in the field.
A little girl of about seven years old saw Zhou Yongcheng standing at the gate.
"Headmistress, there's someone at the door."
The dean was still bent over working, her hands never stopping. She just turned her head and glanced at the gate. Sure enough, she saw a Taoist priest in a Taoist robe standing at the gate, looking them over.
The dean put down his work, walked out of the vegetable garden, and came to the gate.
"Is there anything I can help you with, Taoist priest?" The abbot asked, sizing up the unassuming young Taoist.
Although the Taoist priest was young and unremarkable in appearance, he had an extraordinary aura, and the Taoist robe he wore must have been very expensive, making him seem quite extraordinary.
Zhou Yongcheng glanced at the director, who was surrounded by merit. She was dressed in tattered clothes but was very clean. She was only in her forties, but to outsiders she looked at least fifty. She had dedicated her whole life to this orphanage.
The dean's name is Hu Qingqing. She was a beautiful young woman when she was young. She was from Hunan Province. She met her husband and came to Shanghai with him. At that time, she was not yet twenty years old and was full of expectations for her future life.
She lived with her husband for several years, but because they had no children, she was kicked out of her husband's home. With nowhere to go, the old director of the orphanage took her in, and she became a free laborer at the orphanage. As time went by, the old director of the orphanage passed away, leaving the orphanage to her.
She has stayed in this orphanage for over twenty years, without ever returning to her parents' home.
Over the years, she has helped many orphans. The children who grew up in the orphanage are very sensible. When they are teenagers, they go out to beg on the street and bring the money they beg back to the orphanage. They also bring back useful things they find on the street.
Now that the grown-up children are able to work and earn money, some of them also do their part to help the orphanage.
Because the orphanage is in a remote location, it does not receive financial support, nor does it receive help from caring people in the community, as no one knows that there is an orphanage there.
Zhou Yongcheng said with a smile, "I was cultivating on that mountain over there when I was attracted by the light of merit emanating from the abbot, so I came to visit and offer my small token of appreciation."
The dean almost laughed at Zhou Yongcheng's words. Attracted by the light of merit, could this Taoist priest have gone mad from his cultivation? What merit is there in this world? It's just a trick to deceive people.
However, after the Taoist priest explained his intentions, the dean invited Zhou Yongcheng inside.
Zhou Yongcheng followed the dean along a narrow path.
In the middle of the courtyard is a narrow road, and on both sides of the courtyard are various vegetables. Inside are several old houses, which look to be at least several decades or even hundreds of years old.
Upon entering the lobby, one finds some worn-out toys, which were brought back by children from the orphanage for the children still living there to play with.
In the middle was a large, dilapidated table, which was where they usually ate.
Zhou Yongcheng placed a box of money on the table and said with a smile, "This is one million. You can use it to renovate the orphanage, or hire two helpers to help manage it. You can call back the children who just left and have someone teach them. Don't worry about the money; I will send some money over every now and then."
The director looked at Zhou Yongcheng, her eyes glistening with tears. For many years, no one had come to help this orphanage.
She knelt down instantly, but she couldn't bring herself to kneel.
"Thank you, Taoist priest. I thank you on behalf of the children."
"Although the Way of Heaven is ruthless, it is impartial and will not favor anyone. However, people have feelings. Although we cultivators cultivate the Way, we also cultivate the Way of Feelings. Meeting is fate."
With a wave of his hand, Zhou Yongcheng cast a spell on the dean's body, promising that the merits she accumulated would gradually change her body, protect her, and allow her to live a life free from illness and disaster until her natural death. Anyone who bullies her will be cursed, the severity of the curse depending on the circumstances.
"Thank you, Taoist priest. Thank you, Taoist priest."
She came from humble beginnings, had little education, and was not good with words, but she was very kind. She only knew how to help others and never asked for anything in return. Such great love is rare in the world.
Zhou Yongcheng smiled as he walked out of the lobby, glanced at the children busily working in the courtyard, and then left the orphanage.
