Not long after the news that Fan Jialuo entered the hospital to visit Fan Kaixuan spread, Fan Kaixuan recovered and was discharged from the hospital. A reporter took a picture of him getting into the car. His body was still strong and his face was handsome. His appearance was completely different from a person who had just recovered from a serious illness.
No one could explain this strange phenomenon. The reporter interviewed doctors in the hospital, but they all knew nothing about it and couldn’t explain his recovery. Therefore, the public began to discuss conspiracy theories again, theorizing that the previously disclosed photos of Fan Kaixuan’s old appearance were forged. In fact, he only suffered from a minor illness, which was exaggerated by some people. Fan Jialuo was using Fan Kaixuan’s illness to promote his psychic persona, and he successfully rubbed off on CEO Fan’s popularity.
This statement surprisingly gained the approval of many people, and these people made a lot of remarks mocking Fan Jialuo on the Internet. This phenomenon boiled down to one sentence—People who were willing to believe would always believe, while people who were unwilling to believe would sneer at the truth even if you put it in front of them. What they defended was never the truth, but their own bigotry.
The attitude of the Kaixuan Group was like a huge slap to these people’s faces. Fan Kaixuan personally wrote a sincere letter of thanks, published it on his private Weibo and the company’s official website, and tagged @Fan Jialuo. He also collected a long list of people to sue and sent out lawyer notices. Netizens took a closer look and discovered that the people on this list were actually people who had spread rumors and slandered Fan Jialuo. Fan Kaixuan was sincere! He made it clear with practical actions—Fan Jialuo’s position was his position, as well as the company’s position.
Facing the powerful attack power of money, the black fans and trolls were unable to fight back, so they all shut up and did not dare to criticize Fan Jialuo.
A week passed like this before Fan Kaixuan made an appointment with Fan Jialuo in a private club. He sat alone by the window, looking aimlessly at the gray sky and bustling crowds outside, with a blank look on his face.
Fan Jialuo punctually pushed open the door of the private room, holding a cute little boy by the hand. The little boy also held a half-foot-tall figurine of a little yellow minion in his arms.
“Teacher Fan, please sit down.” Fan Kaixuan immediately woke up from his daze, stood up to greet the two of them, and personally pulled out the chair for them.
“Thank you.” Fan Jialuo nodded politely, and the little boy also thanked him before placing the minion on the table.
Fan Kaixuan glanced at the minion lightly, and then his expression suddenly stiffened. The minion’s eyes were actually moving! There was nothing unusual about this, as many dolls had eyes that could rotate, but the scary thing was that the eyes were covered with red blood. When they rotated, they did not swing randomly, but consciously scanned and searched, until they finally fixed their sinister gaze on his face, as if they could really see him.
Fortunately, Fan Jialuo had already isolated its curse with a magnetic field, otherwise Fan Kaixuan might not just be frightened now.
“Teacher Fan’s toys are very special.” Fan Kaixuan was stunned for a long time before slowly opening his mouth and revealing a forced smile. How could he think this man was a liar before? So many unique features were displayed by the young man, how couldn’t he see it?
Human beings were truly blind and stubborn creatures. As the famous French social psychologist Gustave Le Bon said—when an individual is isolated, he has his own distinctive individual characteristics. However, when he begins to integrate into a group, his conscious personality will be submerged by the group, and his thoughts will immediately be replaced by those of the group. And the group’s behavior has the characteristics of being emotional, unanimous, and intellectually weak.

Yes, the so-called masses are actually a mob, and the so-called “the masses have sharp eyes” is often a fallacy. The cruel reality is that the truth is only known to a few people.

“Fan Luoshan is going bankrupt. He was happy to sell the house to me, but the relevant procedures are a bit cumbersome, so there’s been quite a delay,” Fan Kaixuan told the two guests while pouring tea, “Ding Yu has returned to the United States. He also sold all the shares he had of the company to me, and may not come back again in the future.”
“I know, he called me when he left,” Fan Jialuo said very calmly. Comings and goings, stops and starts, ups and downs, this was life.
Fan Kaixuan gently put down the teapot, and his eyes lost focus again. Many images flashed through his mind, each showing the same figure. In his memory, that person laughed wantonly, behaved flamboyantly, frowned and gritted his teeth, and there was a trace of emotion in his sharp eyes. There was the determination not to bow to anyone. However, the only time in his life that the other lowered his head was to save himself. To this day, the apology letter he posted on Weibo was still ridiculed by netizens as the “standard of kneeling.” While his mother was playing with his life wantonly, the other was running around outside over a slim possibility, and he fought for him with everything he had.
Yes, Ding Yu had always been like this, either not doing anything or doing it to the extreme. Just like his feelings for Fan Kaixuan over the years, they poured out like a torrent, but he never thought about how much reward he would get. In fact, he was so smart, he should have considered the possibility of losing all his money, right? For Fan Kaixuan, losing all your money meant you had nothing, but for him, money was worth shit. He just wanted to live happily, these were his original words.
Thinking of that man’s radiant eyebrows, Fan Kaixuan couldn’t help but smile, but quickly suppressed his smile and asked hoarsely, “Teacher Fan, does Ding Yu’s wish really have no impact on me at all?”
Fan Jialuo smiled quietly. “Why do you ask that?”
“I…” Fan Kaixuan carefully considered his words and also carefully observed his own mood. “When he decided to leave, my heart seemed to suddenly become empty. I often fall into a state of confusion. I don’t know what to do next, this must be abnormal, right? Like Kong Jing, he used a wish to control my life, right?” He clenched his fists, trying to fight against this emotion that should not have appeared.
Fan Jialuo shook his head and continued to ask, “When you think of him, besides being confused and empty, what other emotions do you have? Do you feel that your life is as barren as before? Do you feel that your heart is horribly empty in the dead of night?”
Fan Kaixuan thought for a long time before slowly unclenching his fist. “No, when I think of him, my heart will suddenly feel empty, but it will quickly be filled with more memories.” He pressed his chest, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously. “I don’t feel desolate, I only feel satisfied. When he was still with me, I actually lived a very fulfilling and happy life. He and I were the best partners. I’m extremely adventurous and often go off the beaten path. People who work with me are afraid of my radicalness and will try their best to stop my seemingly crazy decisions. Only he will stand up, slap the table, and say to me decisively: Act according to your ideas, as I have plenty of money and am not afraid of losing money! Others say he is a playboy, and the most successful investment in his life is me, but I know that is not the case. Sometimes, his decisions are more accurate than mine. He takes risks, but always reaps huge benefits. He constantly surprises me.”
Fan Kaixuan chuckled, then closed his eyes and sighed. “He would often say to me, Fan Kaixuan, do you know that we are the best partners? The two of us combined are invincible! Privately, I thought so too, and I always thought he would accompany me throughout the world. I never thought that one day he would leave first.”
He opened his eyes, and his deep voice finally revealed a trace of extremely suppressed pain and hesitation. “Teacher Fan, why did he leave? Since he wished for me to live, how could he be willing to leave me? He must like me, right?”
Fan Jialuo was not an expert on emotions, so he was stumped by this question for a while. But it didn’t matter, as he had off-site assistance, so he sent the question to Dr. Song. After waiting for a few seconds, he lowered his eyes and stared at the screen of his mobile phone, and said slowly, “Real love is never possession. When you understand this sentence, you will understand why Ding Yu left. You were manipulated by Kong Jing for half your life, so apart from continuing to live, what is your biggest wish?”
Fan Kaixuan thought carefully for a moment and replied, “It is freedom.”
Fan Jialuo looked at the screen of his mobile phone, and there was a clarity in his eyes. “So, your wish was Ding Yu’s final wish. What he wanted to give you was not only life, but also true freedom.”
The shock that these words brought to Fan Kaixuan was simply unimaginable. The scene on the day he was about to die seemed to reappear in front of his eyes. He was half-lying on the hospital bed, holding Ding Yu’s hand tightly, trying to forcefully convey his wishes to the other party. Ding Yu looked deeply into his eyes and understood his inner desire without a word of communication, so he let him live and then walked away himself…
“Is that so? In order to completely reassure me, he completely disappeared from my life,” Fan Kaixuan murmured to himself, with an extremely confused expression on his face that was a mixture of sadness and bewilderment.
“Are you really at ease?” Fan Jialuo asked.
Fan Kaixuan was stunned for a long time before slowly shaking his head, then stood up suddenly and strode away. He walked so hastily that he knocked over the two soft chairs behind and beside him. The loud noise of the chairs falling to the ground made Xu Yiyang and the minion’s eyes tremble at the same time.
“Brother, why did he leave suddenly?” Xu Yiyang was confused.
“He went to find his friend.” Fan Jialuo picked up the phone and sent a message with respect: [Dr. Song, you are really professional!]
This man was obviously just an ordinary person, but he could do things that even a psychic couldn’t do.

After getting the real estate certificate, Fan Jialuo took Xu Yiyang to the old Fan family mansion. In order to express his dissatisfaction, Fan Luoshan dismissed all the employees of the old mansion before leaving, and moved out all the valuable furniture. Even the flowers in the garden were eradicated. The originally magnificent castle was now in ruins.
However, Fan Jialuo was very satisfied with this desolation. He held Xu Yiyang’s hand and slowly walked into the basement that was several hundred square meters in size.
“Brother!” Xu Yiyang looked at the floor tiles that he stepped on with a shocked expression. These floor tiles were engraved with extremely complex lines. When they were pieced together one by one, they formed a huge circular pattern. In the center of the pattern sat a black dragon. It held its head high, opened its mouth, and spat out endless yin energy. The yin energy was so strong that it almost condensed into a fluid. It surged and roared towards the edge of the circular pattern, only to be sucked back by the dragon’s mouth again.
The dragon’s mouth exhaled and inhaled, like a living creature breathing, which also filled the empty basement with a bone-chilling yin energy. If a living person stayed here for half an hour, they would be robbed of their health by the yin energy, and slowly weaken and die. However, for Xu Yiyang and the minion, this place was nothing less than paradise. Their eyes were as bright as four light bulbs, radiating a bright light of excitement.
“Brother, brother!” Xu Yiyang walked to the center of the circular pattern, but did not dare to approach the black dragon at all. The evil yin energy was his food, but if it was too strong then he would lose his soul. He pointed at the black dragon and shouted, “Brother, eat it!”
Fan Jialuo shook his head and chuckled, then slowly stepped onto the floor with the black dragon pattern, put his hand into the dragon’s mouth, and took something out. The originally solid floor was as fluid as a lake under his touch.
After a while, he held a palm-sized fish-shaped jade pendant in his hand. It was exactly the same as the small jade pendants he had collected before, but the color was pure black and the light it emitted was extremely bright, illuminating the empty basement. It was like daylight. All the yin energy in the house was sucked away by this jade pendant, and it returned to its normal state.
Fan Jialuo looked at the jade pendant for a long time, gently rubbing it once more before he put it into the dragon’s mouth once again. A faint dragon’s roar echoed in the cramped basement. The strong yin energy spewed out from the dragon’s mouth and was inhaled continuously again, forming a subtle cycle.
“We will move here to live in a while.” Fan Jialuo slowly took a few steps back and pointed at the black dragon.
“Okay!” Xu Yiyang couldn’t wait to raise his hands and feet in agreement.
Fan Jialuo took the minion in his arms and chuckled. “But it can live here first, do you agree?”
The minion’s eyes began to move crazily, then slowed down and were fixed on Xu Yiyang’s face. The pupils that usually only exuded a ruthless and evil light were slightly enlarged, then filled with a watery light, and gently trembled, showing a somewhat pitiful and cute look. One had to say, paired with the minion’s cute and innocent body, this pleading look was simply irresistible.
Xu Yiyang, who was originally very reluctant to part with the minion, immediately nodded and agreed, “Zhuzhu likes it here, so let it live here first!”
Only then did Fan Jialuo place the minion at the dragon’s mouth, letting it slowly sink into the void formed by the evil yin energy.
Puppy eyes are less capable than Minion eyes 😂😂😂 I see the cursed embraced the Fan Household way of doing things
Thanks for the chapter!!!!
