Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Chapter 48 Once upon a time, there was a great wilderness mountain

"Here is some information I found about the Shen family, as well as information about the Xie family who are in charge of Madam Luo Shuzhen's finances." Wu Shiyu calmly took out the file bag in her hand, seemingly oblivious to Wu Zhao's embarrassment.

Wu Zhao coughed twice and took the document.

"Mr. Xie and Mrs. Luo are old friends, and their families have a very good relationship. Because Mrs. Luo's father is away from home all year round, Mr. Xie and his wife often take care of Mrs. Luo after they got married."

Seeing Wu Zhao start flipping through the documents, Wu Shiyu added, "Later, after the old lady's father had an accident, she sold the shop and entrusted the antiques and gold and silver to the Xie family. She then left alone and went to live in seclusion in the countryside."

"Logically, she should have had a large fortune after selling the shop, but the whereabouts of that fortune are unknown. Therefore, the old lady has always lived a very poor life."

Basically, the information matched the documents, and Wu Zhao put down the file bag.

“Nothing is missing. That money… went where it was supposed to go,” Wu Zhao murmured to himself.

No wonder Shen Jiaojiao's curse on the wish master was gradual, and no wonder the original owner, an ordinary person who knew nothing, was able to survive under such a powerful curse.

It was the good deeds her grandmother had accumulated during her lifetime that protected her until Wu Zhao obtained this body...

“Decades ago, during that war…Grandma gave all her money to them.” Wu Zhao sighed. “She made the decision she felt was right.”

Looking at it this way, the deaths of Grandma and Father were probably not caused by simple robbers.

Wu Xingyun was somewhat incredulous: "You mean, Grandma used the money to help us—"

"Mm." Wu Zhao nodded.

She sheltered the homeless Shen Zhaozhao and protected the frail Shen Zhaozhao from Shen Jiaojiao's curse.

He saved her twice.

“She is so great…” Wu Xingyun couldn’t help but say.

Wu Shiyu also said, "That era was truly remarkable."

"What's the current situation with that person from the Xie family?" Huo Tingchen asked, perhaps noticing the tense atmosphere.

Speaking of this, Wu Xingyun was a little angry. He crossed his arms and turned his head away: "That Xie Buji is really unruly. I made ten calls and he only answered one. He even threatened to block me if I called again."

"I feel like he has some serious illness."

Xie Buji… Wu Zhao murmured the name softly.

“The person who named him is quite interesting,” she chuckled. “Since it’s not clear over the phone, let’s go meet this free spirit.”

Huo Tingchen nodded: "Then I'll contact the production team first and see where they've booked the filming location."

Gu Chen stopped him and said, "Contact the production team and tell them that the Gu family wants to fund the program. Ask them to change the filming location. I remember a few years ago the Gu family bought a piece of land to build a health resort villa area."

"Yes, but it was put on hold because strange things happened every time construction started. Because of this, several elders in the family are always dissatisfied with you."

Huo Tingchen felt a surge of resentment when he thought of those people who bossed around his uncle just because they were older.

Wu Zhao looked at Gu Chen curiously: "What strange thing happened? Tell me about it?"

"It's nothing much, it's just that whenever someone goes to dig or cut down trees, those tools just disappear. At first, everyone thought maybe someone took them and didn't bring them back, but then a few excavators suddenly vanished in front of a lot of people..." Huo Tingchen said, his expression turning a little strange.

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Many people saw it, and then those people refused to go anymore. So the project was abandoned."

"Back then, my uncle paid a large sum of money out of his own pocket to lose. Now, that piece of land is considered my uncle's private land."

That's interesting. Is there something in the mountains that you don't want to be discovered?

Wu Zhao was somewhat interested, so he said to Gu Chen, "Then let the production team decide on this location. Anyway, I saw in the materials that they want to do something exciting to generate viewership, right? That should be eye-catching enough, right?"

Huo Tingchen also thought it was feasible. He even thought that if this big shot went and solved the problem, wouldn't everything be fine?

This project is a perfect opportunity to annoy Gu Yang and Yue Jinsheng.

He now has a great deal of enthusiasm for anything that can upset the father and son.

Seeing Huo Tingchen walk aside to make a phone call, Wu Shiyu was a little worried.

She asked, "Won't there be any problems?"

“Even if there’s something in those mountains, it’ll only scare people away and won’t kill anyone,” Wu Zhao patted her shoulder, telling her not to be nervous. “It’s nothing serious.”

Wu Xingyun chimed in, "Don't worry, sis, you can just come along too."

“I can’t go.” Wu Shiyu refused his suggestion. “I still need to deal with the Yan family. There’s something strange about Yan Bin. For the past few years, his wife’s family has been entrusting the Wu family to investigate this matter. They don’t believe that Mrs. Yan’s death was an accident.”

Wu Shiyu added, "My uncle previously performed a divination for Yan Bin, but for some reason it was obscured and I couldn't see anything."

“Hmm…” Wu Zhao thought for a moment, “He should have something like a scapegoat talisman on him, which is something that sorcerers like to use.”

When Wu Zhao saw Yan Bin that day, he noticed that there were traces of the talisman being removed from his body.

Did someone anticipate her arrival and thus remove the spell's effect beforehand?

That feeling of being watched and manipulated is back.

Wu Zhao's expression was solemn, and his thumb was spinning the ring rapidly.

Upon hearing her words, Wu Shiyu vaguely sensed something. "The talisman must have failed, which is why it was exposed. I've been dealing with the Yan family and secretly investigating them these past few days, so we should have results soon."

After ending the call, Huo Tingchen walked over and said, "I've already contacted the production team. They said they'd be happy to provide the venue as long as we can guarantee the safety of the guests."

"Tsk, they really are money-grubbing."

He couldn't help but complain.

Gu Chen then said, "Have some of the Twelve Guards send out to check out the environment there first. If there are no problems, confirm the recording time with the director."

"Okay, I understand." Huo Tingchen replied, "Qingyao got tired of staying in the hospital for a few days and wanted to be discharged, so Hongyao has been temporarily arranged to stay there to look after Chen Fang."

Wu Zhao raised an eyebrow: "Then he recovered quite quickly."

“Give him a leave of absence,” Gu Chen said directly, “and let Obsidian and Purple Obsidian handle it.”

Seeing this, Wu Xingyun leaned closer to Wu Zhao and whispered, "Grandma, you should be alright this time, right?"

"What, you want me to tell your fortune? It'll be very expensive if you want me to tell your own fortune."

Wu Zhao glanced at him and said very bluntly, "You don't look like a wealthy person at all."

Even if the Divine Shaman wanted to calculate it, she couldn't, after all... Wu Xingyun was from the same clan as her.

To judge him is to judge oneself, which goes against the will of Heaven.

Wu Zhao said that the Heavenly Dao is watching her like a hawk and likes to strike her down for no reason, and she doesn't want to invite it.

"Ah... alright then." Wu Xingyun said with a hint of regret, "I hope nothing bad happens this time."

Huo Tingchen hung up the phone and looked at them: "The time has been set. The recording of the first episode will be in a week."

"The director has sent over the guest list, take a look—"

Wu Xingyun leaned closer out of curiosity, but after reading just two lines, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and his voice became so shocked that it went off-key.

"I'm not seeing things, am I?! Sis, why is this guest list including—"

"Witch, Witch Nini?!"

Is she my sister?!
