Huang Xiaolong’s words were like a heavy bomb being detonated in the private room.

Everyone was dumbfounded!

A foster son and his foster mother having an affair with each other was a despicable act of incest. If this was true, Director Qiu, who was a powerful figure in Coast City, would be wearing the grasslands of Hulunbuir on top of his head1…

But come on, there was no way this could be true!

Huang Xiaolong had taken only one look at Director Qiu’s family of three before shooting his mouth off and saying these scathing remarks. He was most likely just lashing back at ‘Qiu Xuan’, Director Qiu’s adopted son, for disrespecting him.

“You little brat!” The first person to flip out was Director Qiu’s wife; that young and beautiful woman leaped to her feet like a tigress and screeched fiercely. “Slander! This is slander! I will sue you! I’ll get you jailed! You little village brute!”

Qiu Xuan’s expression was similar to an enraged wild beast. “Do you know what you’re talking about? Do you know the consequences of your words? You’re done for! Little peasant, I swear, you’re finished!”

In the private room, the majority of the people were passing judgment on Huang Xiaolong—

“Call the police, they’ll have to call the police to settle this.”

“How can a dignified person like Director Qiu allow a peasant from the mountains to tarnish his reputation like this? Putting this wicked sort in jail for a couple of years will still be too light a punishment.”

“This peasant is too barbaric, I doubt that Old Hong and Old Zou can save him this time. It’s not like you guys aren’t aware of Director Qiu’s methods.”

…

Huang Xiaolong was being targeted by practically all the people in the private room. However, his expression remained indifferent despite the humiliation; he even looked somewhat amused as he looked at Director Qiu’s family of three.

“A misunderstanding…it’s all a misunderstanding…everyone…everyone don’t…don’t get worked up…let’s talk this out properly…” Hong Quantao was sweating all over as he bowed while folding his hands in front of him, trying to smooth things over in the private room.

Zou Shi was also lowering his stance to apologise profusely.

Both of their hearts were beating so quickly they were about to jump out of their chests. Now that Huang Xiaolong had offended the extremely wealthy in the private room, they were afraid that this was not going to end well! Director Qiu especially would not be easily placated!

“Ahem…” An elderly man wearing a Tang-style suit coughed drily several times. “Let’s all give Quantao and little Zou a bit of face, don’t be hasty. Old brother Hong, don’t take it to heart…young man, do you have any proof for what you’ve just said?”

“This is completely outrageous! I respect my godfather and godmother more than my own birth parents, how could I possibly commit such a beastly act?” Qiu Xuan protested harshly, his hands balled into fists and poised to rush forward to beat up Huang Xiaolong.

“Enough! Lil Xuan, you’d better sit properly.” Director Qiu finally spoke, his voice filled with commanding authority.

“Godfather! You…you can’t possibly believe the venomous slander by this peasant?” Qiu Xuan was truly frantic.

“Husband…call the police quickly to have this little brute arrested!” The young and beautiful wife tugged at Director Qiu’s shirt sleeve, throwing an angry fit. “What is there to talk about with this vile creature?”

“Both of you keep quiet, I’ll deal with this.” Director Qiu eyed his young and beautiful wife, giving off a domineering aura; it looked like he was serious.

Both Qiu Xuan and the young wife fell silent in fear.

Director Qiu’s sharp eyes swept around the private room once again, but those who met his eyes remained silent. Finally, his gaze fell upon Huang Xiaolong. “Young man, it is inadvisable to say such things frivolously, but since you’ve already said it, I hope you have proof. Otherwise—”

At this, the corner of Director Qiu’s eyes twitched several times, a murderous aura flickering around him.

Clearly, if Huang Xiaolong was unable to provide irrefutable evidence, he was about to face the full wrath of Director Qiu!

Suddenly, Su Xiaoman plucked up her courage and spoke up “Xiaolong…Xiaolong has a simple mindset and is one of the kindest people I’ve seen…I believe that he wouldn’t joke about these sort of things, and would never intentionally slander anyone. I…I believe in Xiaolong’s every word.”

Both Hong Quantao and Zou Shi exchanged a glance.

“I…I too believe in the Miracle Doctor’s words.” Hong Quantao quickly chose to stand with Huang Xiaolong.

“A while ago, Old Hong and I were fortunate enough to meet the miracle doctor on the train. At the time, all the miracle doctor did was look at us once, and he was able to diagnose that I had severe jaundice, while Old Hong had irreversible late-stage liver cirrhosis…” Zou Shi said solemnly. “I am a very objective person and even I choose to believe in the miracle doctor’s words.”

Both Hong Quantao and Zou Shi invariably threw their support behind Huang Xiaolong.

There was a personal reason for their support. After all, Huang Xiaolong had saved their lives. At this moment of daggers being drawn, they could not bear to watch Huang Xiaolong fight this battle alone.

Moreover, they had both witnessed firsthand Huang Xiaolong’s methods and subconsciously idolized and trusted him with almost blind devotion. This prompted them to seriously suspect that Qiu Xuan was actually having an affair with his godmother!

Actually, now that Huang Xiaolong said it, Director Qiu felt a flicker of doubt. He particularly remembered that the night before, he had asked Qiu Xuan to drive his wife to her SPA appointment, and both of them had arrived home later than usual by approximately half an hour…

However, a suspicion was still a suspicion. Huang Xiaolong’s words could not be taken at face value; he had to show irrefutable evidence. Otherwise, Director Qiu was not going to let the matter rest.

“My young friend, don’t be scared and bring out the evidence.” Director Qiu watched Huang Xiaolong closely, observing every microscopic change of expression on his face.

Huang Xiaolong laughed like nothing was out of the ordinary. “Do you all think I am making stuff up? Actually, I am someone who doesn’t know how to tell lies…every person’s body contains a type of Qi, all I need to do is observe this Qi to know a lot of things.”

Huang Xiaolong’s expression grew increasingly cheerful. “If two people were to have normal physical contact such as hugging or holding hands, their Qi would attach to the other person’s body surface. However, if it were a more intimate contact, such as sex, then their Qi would delve deep into the other person’s body.”

“Old uncle, your godson’s Qi is inside your wife’s body. Similarly, your wife’s Qi is inside your godson’s body. This was left behind from last night, hence I can guarantee you that they had sex last night.” Huang Xiaolong said in a matter-of-fact tone. “On another note, old uncle, your wife is even carrying your godson’s baby in her womb, hence I would say that when they were having sex, they did not take any precautionary measures…”

Upon hearing this, everyone in the private room looked at each other in dismay.

Qi Observation?

Was that not a bit too f*cking abstract?

While Huang Xiaolong’s theory had just that tiny bit of logic, it was far from sufficient to prove that two people were having an affair.

“Hahahaha…don’t make me laugh! This is your so-called evidence? Utterly made-up nonsense!” Qiu Xuan laughed, but his laugh was forced and unnatural, even uglier than if he was crying instead.

However, the young and beautiful wife’s face was turning paler by the second.

Director Qiu pondered for over ten seconds then shook his head slightly. “My young friend, this isn’t enough evidence. After all, this is your own speculation, and so-called Qi Observation is out of the question as far as I’m concerned.”

“If you really want evidence, that can easily be arranged.” Huang Xiaolong grinned. “How about this, old uncle, tell me your godson’s eight characters of birth time. I1’ll cut a paperman out right now, burn a truth charm, and the paperman will tell us all the truth.”

Cutting out a paperman? A truth charm?

The people in the private room were dumbfounded.

Director Qiu thought it over for a few seconds before nodding in assent. “Alright, do what you want. I don’t care what method you use; I just hope that you will be able to produce hard evidence that will convince me in the end.”

“Lies!” Qiu Xuan cursed. “I…I’m not afraid of you…the truth will prevail…”

Director Qiu was very familiar with Qiu Xuan’s eight characters of birth time and wrote it down on a piece of paper straight away, before passing it to Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong then asked Hong Quantao to bring him a piece of A4-sized paper and a pair of scissors.

Huang Xiaolong began cutting out a paperman while talking and laughing. “Papermen are feminine, hence when cutting a paperman out, one should avoid masculine energy colliding with it. So-called masculine energy would come from saliva, blood, and others. Once the paper man gets in contact with these things, it will become useless scrap paper…”

The people in the private room scoffed at Huang Xiaolong’s actions—what generation was he living in to be still messing around with these sort of feudal superstitious activities!

Initially, they thought that Huang Xiaolong was going to produce some kind of hard evidence…who would have guessed it was all mystical tricks!

Soon, the paperman was cut out.

Huang Xiaolong took out an incense stick from his canvas bag and lit it. He then pressed the head of the incense stick into the paperman, charring it to create eyes and a mouth. This was the so-called “Eye-Opening”.

He wrote Qiu Xuan’s name and eight characters of birth time on the paperman.

“I’m done! I will now burn the truth talisman.” Huang Xiaolong then took out two pieces of yellow paper fuzhuan from the pocket of his pants.

One of the pieces of fuzhuan was a “spirit-capture charm” which was to be used to capture Qiu Xuan’s spirit and attach it to the paperman.

The other piece of fuzhuan was a “truth charm”. After capturing Qiu Xuan’s spirit, the truth charm needed to be burned immediately for the paperman to resurrect and start speaking.

Right at that moment, Huang Xiaolong shook his hand, and the “spirit-capture charm” burst into flames instantly.

Qiu Xuan suddenly went slightly slack; his eyes became dull and lifeless.

A flicker of light, imperceptible to human eyes, floated out of the top of Qiu Xuan’s head. Sure enough, it attached itself to the paperman cut out by Huang Xiaolong.

“Rise!” Huang Xiaolong pointed with his finger, and a strange thing happened!

The paperman which lay on top of the eight-people mahogany table was unexpectedly controlled by an unknown force and forced into a standing position!

This supernatural sight sent a shiver down the spines of many people in the private room. Their chests felt tight, and they hardly dared to breathe!

In the middle of the hand shaking, the “truth charm” ignited as well, and the paperman began walking around on top of the eight-person mahogany table.

“What is your name?” Huang Xiaolong asked the paperman with a wide smile.

“My birth name is Ma Xuan, and after being adopted by my foster father, Coast City’s real estate tycoon, a few years ago, I changed my name to Qiu Xuan.” The paperman was starting to speak!

The voice was extremely shrill, causing people to shudder. However, one could vaguely make out Qiu Xuan’s voice.

The people in the private room felt goosebumps all over their bodies!

“So, what has happened between you and your foster mother?” Huang Xiaolong pressed.

“One year ago, my godmother and I began having an affair. Every time my godfather went to other provinces for business meetings, we would enjoy each other’s company between the sheets. Godmother said that Godfather has aged and can no longer satisfy her desires…she likes me especially, and she is infatuated with me. We’ve decided that one day when godfather is old, we’ll both split his fortune evenly. Godfather has no biological children; it just so happens to benefit both Godmother and me…”

Everything the paperman said in the private room resounded in everyone’s ears, word-for-word.

Later, every person had an expression of indignance. They were grinding their teeth and looking at Qiu Xuan and the young and beautiful wife with dark looks.

“You brute! You are a pair of cheating dogs! Both of you should be drowned in a wicker basket! Better off dead!” Finally, someone exclaimed angrily.
