126: Chapter 126 A true powerhouse woman, the kind worth billions.
"Hello, Master Su."
The woman spoke, her voice soft and carrying a hint of a tremble.
Su Yun nodded. "Hello. How should I address you, seeker?"
"My name is Wang Li."
The woman took a deep breath and adjusted her sitting posture.
"I am the chairwoman of the Hongda Construction Materials Group in Jiangcheng."
An array of exclamation marks immediately flooded the bullet chat.
"Holy crap! Hongda Construction Materials? That's a listed company!"
"This is a real strongwoman, the kind worth billions!"
"A rich lady! Auntie, I don't want to work hard anymore!"
"Stop dreaming, you guys upstairs. Her ID is Pan'erlai; she's clearly here to ask for a child."
Su Yun's expression remained unchanged.
So what if she was the chairwoman of a listed company?
Before the Heavenly Mystery, all living beings are equal.
"Ms. Wang, looking at your ID, are you seeking a child?" Su Yun cut straight to the point.
Wang Li nodded, her eyes instantly reddening.
She casually pulled out a tissue and dabbed the corners of her eyes.
"Master Su, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me."
"I'm thirty-six this year, and I've been married to my husband for exactly ten years."
"In these ten years, we've wanted a child even in our dreams."
"To have a child, I've endured all kinds of suffering."
Wang Li's voice took on a sob.
"I've drunk vats of Chinese medicine. To this day, the smell of medicine makes me want to vomit."
"I've seen countless Western doctors, too. I've sought out the best experts both at home and abroad."
"In the last five years, I've done IVF five times."
"Every egg retrieval, every embryo transfer—I could bear that kind of pain."
"But every single time, it ended in failure."
"Either the implantation failed, or I would mysteriously miscarry just two months into the pregnancy."
Wang Li covered her face, her emotions breaking down a bit.
"The doctors said that although my bodily functions are a bit weak, they fully meet the criteria for conception."
"My husband is also very healthy; his checkup reports are all normal."
"But I just can't conceive, and even if I do, I can't keep it."
Wang Li looked up, her eyes filled with despair.
"Master Su, I'm really at my wit's end now."
"I wonder if there's something wrong with my home's Feng Shui, or... or if there's something unclean at work?"
"As long as I can have a child, I'm willing to pay any amount of money."
The bullet chat was filled with sighs of sympathy.
"So tragic. Five rounds of IVF... that's truly a hellish amount of suffering."
"Rich people have plenty of troubles too. It's truly a case of the parched dying of thirst while the flooded are drowning."
"Sigh, this lady looks so pitiful. She's really giving it her all to have a child."
Su Yun didn't speak.
He looked at the weeping woman on the screen and sighed in his heart.
The cruelest thing in this world often isn't failing to get what you want.
It's being stabbed in the back by the person you trust most.
"System, activate Tianji Divine Calculation," Su Yun thought to himself.
[Ding! Tianji Divine Calculation activated.]
[Name: Wang Li]
[Age: 36]
[Occupation: Chairwoman of Hongda Construction Materials Group]
[Recent Fortune: Great Calamity (Loss of wealth and lineage, life in critical danger)]
[Past: Built a multi-billion group from scratch. Married her university classmate, Zhang Hai, ten years ago despite opposition. Failed five IVF attempts in the last five years to conceive, resulting in severe damage to bodily functions...]
[Future: Due to long-term consumption of chronic poison placed by her husband, Zhang Hai, in her 'Pregnancy preparation medicine,' she will die of multi-organ failure in three months. After her death, her multi-billion estate will be taken over entirely by her husband, who will then move his mistress and illegitimate child into the luxury mansion...]
[Sin Value: 8]
[Detailed Crimes: Used tough tactics in business competition but has done nothing against heaven or reason. Currently a victim of a 'kill wife to seize assets' plot.]
Su Yun looked at the information on the panel, his gaze turning cold.
What a ruthless way to prey on the heirless.
This wasn't a Feng Shui problem.
This was cold-blooded murder.
This man didn't just want Wang Li's money; he wanted her life.
The most disgusting part was that he was poisoning her while simultaneously accompanying her for IVF, watching her suffer double the torture, both physically and mentally, over and over again.
This heart was blacker than a rat in a sewer.
Seeing Su Yun remain silent, Wang Li grew even more anxious.
"Master Su? Is it... is it really that serious?"
Su Yun snapped out of it, hiding the coldness in his eyes.
He looked at Wang Li, his tone eerily calm.
"Ms. Wang, there's nothing wrong with your home's Feng Shui."
"This villa faces south, and its layout is square and upright; it's a rare residence that gathers wealth and prosperity."
"As for anything unclean, there's nothing of the sort either."
Wang Li was stunned.
"Then... then why?"
"If everything is fine, why can't I conceive?"
"Master Su, you must help me!"
Su Yun didn't answer directly.
He shifted his position, leaning back in his chair, and lightly tapped his fingers on the desk.
"Ms. Wang, how is your relationship with your husband?"
At the mention of her husband, a tender expression appeared on Wang Li's face.
This expression made Su Yun feel nauseous.
"Our relationship is very good."
"He was my university classmate. Back then, I married him despite my family's opposition, and he has always been exceptionally good to me."
"In recent years, because of my struggle to conceive, my temper has become very volatile, and I often lose my temper for no reason."
"But he never blames me; instead, he's always comforting me."
"Every time I go to the hospital for IVF, he's there the whole time, busy taking care of everything."
"He cooks all the meals at home himself, and even the supplements I need to take, he watches me every day to make sure I take them."
As Wang Li spoke, tears began to flow again.
"I feel especially sorry for him."
"He's the only child in the Zhang family, yet I can't even leave him an heir."
"Sometimes I even think about divorcing him so he can find someone who can give him a child, but he refuses no matter what, saying I'm the only one for him in this life."
The bullet chat was deeply moved.
"Holy crap, what kind of angelic husband is this?"
"True love! This kind of man must be extinct nowadays, right?"
"Sister, don't blame yourself. Your husband's feelings for you are sincere!"
Su Yun looked at these comments, wanting only to sneer.
True love?
That acting performance could certainly win an Oscar.
To poison someone to death while making them feel deeply grateful—this method was truly unparalleled.
"Since your husband is so good to you, let's take a look at those 'loving supplements' he prepared for you."
Su Yun suddenly spoke, interrupting Wang Li's self-indulgent sentimentality.
Wang Li was startled, not quite reacting.
"Huh? Supplements?"
Su Yun nodded, his expression serious.
"Take your phone and go to the kitchen right now."
"I want to see what you usually eat and if there's anything that clashes with your constitution."
This reason was perfectly logical.
Although Wang Li was confused, she did as she was told.
She picked up her phone, stood up from the sofa, and walked toward the kitchen in her slippers.
"Master Su, I have many supplements at home. My husband had friends bring them back from abroad."
"He said they are all top-quality goods, especially beneficial for preparing for pregnancy."
Wang Li introduced them as she walked, her tone even carrying a bit of pride.
Soon, the camera switched to the kitchen.
This kitchen was ridiculously large, almost like the back kitchen of a five-star hotel.
There was a huge island in the middle.
The island was covered with various bottles and jars.
Bird's nest, fish maw, sea cucumber, and various beautifully packaged Western medicine bottles.
"Master Su, these are them."
Wang Li pointed the camera at the bottles.
"These are vitamins imported from Australia, this is for regulating the endocrine system, this is..."
Su Yun's gaze swept quickly across the screen.
Finally, his gaze stopped on a white plastic medicine bottle in the corner.
The bottle looked very ordinary, covered in English labels.
"Ms. Wang, stop for a moment."
Su Yun called her to a halt.
Wang Li's hand stopped mid-air.
"What is it, Master Su?"
Su Yun pointed to the corner of the screen.
"Pick up that white bottle to your left."
Following Su Yun's instructions, Wang Li picked up the medicine bottle.
"This one?"
"This is folic acid. Everyone takes it when preparing for pregnancy."
"My husband said this is high-activity folic acid imported from Germany. It's more effective than what the hospital prescribes, and he insists I take one pill every day."
Su Yun looked at the bottle, his gaze as sharp as a knife.
Folic acid.
It was indeed a necessity for pregnancy preparation.
And also the best cover.
Who would suspect that a bottle of folic acid meant for pregnancy preparation contained poison that would end your lineage?
"Ms. Wang."
Su Yun's voice deepened, carrying a sense of command that brooked no argument.
"Open that bottle."
"Pour out two pills onto the island."
"I want to take a closer look at what this so-called imported product is actually made of."
